These factors include: the availability of funds, the timing and content of work programs, results of exploration activities and development of mineral properties, the interpretation of drilling results and other geological data, the uncertainties of resource and reserve estimations, receipt and security of mineral property titles, project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, fluctuations in metal prices, currency fluctuations, and general market and industry conditions.

3 Focus on Production in 2006 “UC Resources is rapidly advancing in Mexico to acquire an asset base of high quality silver and gold production assets with significant upside on their exploration potential. It is my personal objective that UC Resources will become a producer of silver & gold in 2006.” Richard J. Hamelin, President / CEO

4 Why Mexico? Mexico is one of the world’s largest silver producers and industry experts remain bullish on future supply and demand curves for both gold and silver. Extraordinary market appreciation is being realized by Canadian producers and explorers in Mexico. Mexico’s Sierra Madre Mining Belt hosts numerous major discoveries by other Canadian explorers like Gammon Lake, Kimber, First Majestic, Western Silver, Alamos, Mine Finders, and Endeavour Silver.

9 CORPORATE STRUCTURE UC Resources Ltd. Minera Silver Creek S.A. de C.V. La Yesca Production Assets MAR Production Asset Minera Planet Exploration S.A. de C.V Copalquin Exploration Project Minera El Alizal S.A. de C.V La Dura Production Asset

10 Copalquin Project

11 Copalquin Map

12 Copalquin Results 2004/2005 Phase I –High-grade and low-grade silver and gold encountered, indicative of a major epithermal- type deposit 2005/2006 Phase II –Drilling clearly showed that alteration and silicification associated with the epithermal system is pervasive and extensive –50 ounces/tonne silver and 1.4 ounces/tonne gold over 5 metre intersection at La Soledad target

13 Comparables to UC Resources Ltd.

14 Compelling Comparables Results and Geology of Copalquin in Phase I & II are very comparable to early results of other Epithermal Systems in Mexico by: –Gammon Lake (Ocampo Project) –Kimber Resources (Monterde Discovery) –Alamos Gold Inc. (Mulatos Discovery) –Minefinders Corp. Ltd. (Dolores Discovery) –Silver Wheaton – Gold Corp. Gammon Lake has reported a deposit containing an estimated 8 million ounces of gold equivalent

23 Corporate Achievements Acquisition of Minera Planet Mexican Exploration Subsidiary Acquisition of Minera Silver Creeck Mexican Production Acquisition Letter of Intent signed in August 2006 to acquire El Alizal Mexican Subsidiary Discovered a 5 metre wide mineralized zone at La Soledad target of 50 oz/tonne silver and 1.4 oz/tonne gold Phase 2 surface trenching & sampling returned economic silver and gold values extending the strike length of the zone Increased land package of flagship Copalquin Mining District from 7,000 to 64,000 hectares (640 sq. km’s) in two phases Completed 3 rounds of equity financing for $4+ million for exploration and production acquisitions in Mexico

24 Short-Term Goals 1.Growth through new acquisitions 2.Exploration and development of flagship Copalquin Mining District 3.Develop recent production acquisitions: La Yesca, La Dura and Mar projects 4.Enhance valuation of asset through modern exploration techniques

25 Financing Initiatives Negotiations are currently being discussed with those active in financing Mexico’s precious metals mining opportunities. The Company’s future focus will be to finance through more traditional methods with Capital Partners. * Debt * Convertible Debentures * Future Project Financing in the range of $25mm to $125mm

26 Benefits As A Producer Cash flow, cash flow, cash flow Producers enjoy higher valuation multiples by industry analysts Stronger participation from institutional investors Broader coverage by research analysts and investment banking community

27 Long Term Objectives Build a mid-tier Exploration and Production company with a specific focus on silver and gold exploration and development in Mexico Increase market capitalization through acquisitions and internal growth from our existing projects, to evolve into a $500+ mm market cap company, with the objective of attracting a major to the table for a friendly merger or take-over Our final objective is to provide our investors and partners with a clearly defined acceptable exit strategy

28 Summary Management has enjoyed a successful track record in mining development and capital markets Trading at a lower market cap than other Canadian emerging producers All 4 projects centrally located in the heart of Mexico’s prolific Sierra Madre mining belt Phase II drilling on Copalquin completed, Phase III set to begin in October Additional acquisitions in advanced stages of evaluation
