THIS WEEK IN MINING Sector: MINING, GOLD & PRECIOUS MINERALS Analyst: Ron Coll e-mail: ron.coll@jenningscapital.com Tel: (416) 304-2171 Fax: (416) 214-0177 Date: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 New Ni-Cu Discovery at Mayville. Further Resource Expansion Potential at Maskwa. Source: www.bigcharts.com Mustang Minerals Corp. is a Canadian growth oriented junior exploration company, focused on the exploration and development of near-surface, open-pitable base metal deposits in Canada, principally Manitoba. The Company holds a 100% interest in the Maskwa Property and a 90% interest in the Mayville Property, both located in southeastern Manitoba. Mustang is rapidly expanding its near-surface, open-pitable nickel and copper resources at both properties. Mustang Minerals Corp. (TSX-V-MUM $1.27) Recommendation: Speculative BUY Target: Cdn$2.25 Market Cap (C$MM) Shares o/s (MM) Shares o/s FD (MM) 54 52 week hi/lo (C$) $1.38 $0.30 Major Shareholders management 10% Cash (C$ MM 31/03/05) $1.5 Debt (C$ MM 31/03/05) $0.0 Working Capital (C$MM 31/03/05) $1.5 12-Month Target (C$) Book Value $/Share (C$) $2.25 $0.15 $55 44 New Discovery at Mayville Ni-Cu Property Mustang’s Mayville Property is located in southeastern Manitoba approximately 150 kilometers northeast of Winnipeg. The property is easily accessible by road and near all required infrastructure including power, rail, water and a skilled workforce. Mustang acquired a 90% interest in the property through two transactions; (1) by acquiring 60% from Exploratus Inc. (a unlisted junior exploration company) for Cdn$90,000 cash, Cdn$165,000 due 18 months following closing, 700,000 MUM shares and a 1.2% Net Smelter Royalty and (2) 30% through the acquisition of 72.6% of the shares of Maskwa Nickel Chrome Mines, a private company controlled by Falconbridge for Cdn$120,000 cash, 400,000 shares of MUM and a Cdn$210,000 non-interest bearing note payable over 5 years following commencement of commercial production. Falconbridge does not retain a back-in right and does not retain a royalty. A detailed airborne geophysical survey identified a 1,300-meter long EM conductor located along the contact of an east-west trending mafic intrusive complex, the Bird River Sill. The strong conductor is coincident with several historic trenches. Grab sampling of the trenches by Mustang in 2004 returned values up to 0.83% nickel, 5.56% copper, 1.71 grams Pt/tonne and 0.55 grams Pd/tonne. Core drilling designed to test for Ni-Cu sulphide mineralization associated with the EM conductor and related surface trenches commenced in early June. The preliminary plan calls for three section lines of drilling (four core holes on each section line) for a total of 12 holes. Drill sections are 30 meters apart with two drill stations per section, and two angle holes drilled from each drill station. Mustang management reports that all eight holes on the first two sections have encountered coarse grained and net textured semi-massive and massive sulphide mineralization averaging 40 to 50 meters in approximate true thickness. The discovery, the M-2 zone consists of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pentlandite and pyrite within a mafic to ultramafic intrusive unit. 2 MINING RESEARCH Mineralization was encountered at the bedrock-overburden contact and has been traced to a vertical depth exceeding 200 meters. Assay and analytical data are pending and the remaining 4 holes on the third drill section are expected to be complete by month end. Following a short break in July, drilling is expected to resume with the objective of defining the extent and to determine the grade continuity of the M-2 nickel-copper discovery. With the encouraging results of preliminary drilling to date and based on continued successful drilling of the mineralized zone, we believe the Mayville M-2 Zone has the potential to host a 10 to 15 million tonne nickel-copper sulphide deposit suitable for low-cost open-pit mining. Maskwa Property 100% 3 MINING RESEARCH During Q1/2005, Mustang announced the results of a mineral resource estimate completed by Roscoe Postal Associates Inc. on the company’s 100% owned Maskwa Ni-Cu project, located 140 kilometers northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Based on core drilling completed in 2003 and 2004, a Measured and Indicated open-pit resource totals 5.23 million tonnes averaging 0.68% nickel and 0.15% copper to a vertical depth of 200 meters for a contained 79 million lbs of nickel and 17 million lbs of copper. An additional underground Measured and Indicated resource totals 790,000 tonnes averaging 1.11% nickel and 0.14% copper for an additional 19 million lbs of nickel and 2.5 million lbs of copper. In addition to the Measured and Indicated resource mentioned above, an inferred open-pit and underground resource totals 550,000 tonnes averaging 0.75% nickel and 0.11% copper. The up-dated resource estimate conforms to National Instrument 43-101 standards. The potential to expand the open-pitable resource along strike and to expand the underground resource at depth is considered excellent. Other Properties Mustang holds significant land positions in Ontario, the Bannockburn Ni Project near Timmins and the Manchester Lease Project, Sudbury. At Bannockburn, Mustang made a new grassroots nickel discovery during late 2003 near the Montcalm Ni Mine operated by Falconbridge and the past producing Redstone Mine. Narrow intersections of 2.0% to 2.5% Ni were encountered in the steeply dipping C-Zone within an ultramafic host and up to 0.35% Ni over 82 meters in a large near surface dunite body. At the Manchester Lease Property, Mustang has an option to earn a 70% interest with Inco as joint-venture partner on a 2.5 Km long offset dyke on the south range of the Sudbury Igneous Complex. Through acquisitions, Mustang continues to seek high quality base metal opportunities to further expand its portfolio of advanced stage projects and to create shareholder value.

Valuation & Recommendation With a defined resource at the Maskwa Property and a new Ni-Cu discovery at Mayville undergoing an aggressive drilling campaign, Mustang offers investors an excellent opportunity to participate in a high quality, well managed, well-financed Ni-Cu development vehicle. With continued success at Mayville and its potential to outline a 10 to 15 million tonne open-pitable resource and the established 5.2 million tonne measured and indicated resource at Maskwa, we believe Mustang Minerals will be in a position to report total resources in excess of 200 million lbs of contained Ni and 200 million lbs of contained copper during 2006, with potential at both projects for significant resource expansion. Without the benefit of scoping studies and/or feasibility studies, a valuation of Mustang Minerals is difficult. However, based on the positive exploration results to date and the expectation of continued success of aggressive drilling programs at Mayville and Maskwa, we recommend purchase of Mustang Minerals to gain exposure to one of the best Ni-Cu exploration companies in Canada. Our 12 month target is Cdn$2.25. MINING RESEARCH Jennings Capital Inc. June 2005 Jennings Capital Inc.
