Cautionary Notice
This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as
statements of Skye’s plans, objectives, strategies, expectations and intentions. The words “may”, “would”,
“could”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect” and similar expressions, as they
relate to Skye, or its management, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Many factors could
cause Skye’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-
looking statements may include mineral reserve and resource estimates, commodity prices, estimates of future
production, unit costs, construction schedules and construction cost estimates, costs of capital projects, credit
market conditions and timing of commencement of operations and are based on current expectations and beliefs
concerning future developments and their potential effects on Skye. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from any forward-looking statement include, but are not limited to failure to construct the
Fenix project in the time frame and within estimated costs as currently planned; variations in capital and
operating costs from estimated costs; unavailability of key personnel, skilled labor, supplies, equipment,
machinery, parts, contractors and necessary components of Skye’s project; variations in the grade and recovery of
ore from estimated amounts; fluctuations in global demand, supply of and price for nickel; inability to obtain
financing on commercially suitable terms; delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental,
environmental or other project permits, licenses or approvals; failure to build and maintain good relationships
with the local community; illegal land occupations; civil disturbances; changes in the regulatory and political
environment; unforeseen geological, physical or meteorological conditions; natural disasters; labor shortages,
stoppages or disputes; industrial disputes; inflation; changes in exchange rates; political factors; fluctuations in
commodity prices; and other factors including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Skye’s most
recent Annual Information Form filed on Sedar. The forward-looking statements included in this presentation
represent Skye’s views as of the date of this presentation. While Skye anticipates that subsequent events and
developments may cause its views to change, it specifically disclaims any obligation to update these forward-
looking statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Skye’s views as
of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking

Supplementary Information (cont.)
The Canadian Securities regulatory Authorities provided exemptive relief from certain provisions of National Instrument 43-101 with
respect to the filing of the Technical Report dated July 4, 2006 entitled “Mineral Resource Estimate, Fenix Project, Izabal, Guatemala,
July 4, 2006”, and required that any other disclosure supported by the Technical Report include the following statements:
The Preliminary Assessment entitled “Hydrometallurgical Expansion Preliminary Assessment, FENIX Project, Izabal, Guatemala” and as
summarized in the Technical Report includes an assumption concerning the upgrading of inferred resources, but such inferred mineral
resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be
categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the projections for these inferred mineral resources will be realized. The
Preliminary Assessment is preliminary in nature and assumes that some inferred mineral resources can be used in the ferro-nickel process
to replace the measured and indicated resources re-assigned to the hydro-metallurgical process. Skye estimates that it will take a
minimum of three to four years to construct and evaluate a pilot plant and complete a pre-feasibility study and a feasibility study,
within the meaning of those terms in NI-43-101, before Skye can make any decision to implement the hydro-metallurgical process
outlined in the Preliminary Assessment and the Preliminary Assessment assumes that the hydro-metallurgical process will not commence
until year four of the operations of the ferro-nickel process. The hydro-metallurgical process outlined in the Preliminary Assessment and
the ferro-nickel process outlined in the Fenix Feasibility Study dated October 2006 are at this stage separate, stand-alone mineral
processing scenarios, and the mine plan and schedule in the Fenix Feasibility Study would have to be revised if a decision were made to
combine the two processes; therefore the results of the economic analyses on the two processes are not additive.
Since the hydromet expansion project Preliminary Assessment was completed in October 2006, the ferro-nickel project scope and cost
estimates have been updated, as described in this presentation. Some of these scope and cost estimate changes would impact the
hydrometallurgical expansion. For example, project operating supplies, mainly elemental sulphur, would no longer be shipped to site by
a combination of trucking and barging. They would be shipped by an all-truck method, as in the ferro-nickel project. Updates to unit
prices of fuel oil and also unit labour costs would also apply to the hydromet expansion project. None of such scope and unit cost
changes have been included in the analysis in this presentation, as no further work has been done on the hydromet expansion project
since the Preliminary Assessment was completed in October 2006. In addition, the nickel price forecast was updated for the financial
analysis of the ferro-nickel project. The update was not taken into account in the hydromet expansion financial analysis.
All $ amounts for the ferro-nickel project are in 2007 US Dollars. All $ amounts for the hydromet project are in 2006 US Dollars. IRR &
NPV calculations are calculated on a real after tax basis to CGN for its 100% ownership interest (and therefore before Canadian taxes, if
any) assuming all-equity financing.
The estimates, projections and conclusions summarized in this presentation, are subject to important qualifications, assumptions and
exclusions, all of which are set out in a Technical Report on an Update to the Fenix Project, Izabel, Guatemala, dated September 15,
2007 and its Addendum Report dated October 25, 2007, filed at www.sedar.com on September 18, 2007 and October 24, 2007
respectively. To fully understand the summary information contained in this presentation, the Technical Report should be read in its
entirety.

36
Cautionary Note to Investors
Mineral resources and mineral reserves referred to in this presentation are reported in accordance
with the Guidelines of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (“CIM”), required for
Canadian resource issuers under National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects) of the Canadian Securities Administrators (“NI 43-101”). NI 43-101 establishes standards
for all public disclosure a Canadian issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning
mineral projects. Unless otherwise indicated, all reserve and resource estimates contained in this
presentation have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and not the SEC’s Industry Guide 7.
These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC (including under its Industry
Guide 7), and reserve and resource information contained in this presentation may not be
comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and
disclosure requirements of the SEC. One principal difference between NI 43-101 and the SEC’s
requirement under Industry Guide 7 is the absence under Industry Guide 7 of any provision for the
reporting of estimates other than proven (measured) or probable (indicated) reserves. There is,
therefore, no equivalent for “mineral resources” under the SEC’s Industry Guide 7.
