Fund Objectives

The Partnership invests in an actively managed portfolio consisting primarily of equity and debt securities of metals and minerals mining and exploration issuers that are listed on a North American stock exchange, using a 130/30 approach with the view to: providing Limited Partners with monthly cash distributions of 8% per annum (approximately $0.0667 per month) based on the initial price of Units; and enhancing the net asset value (�NAV�) of the Partnership. The 130/30 strategy is designed to enable the Manager to invest 100% of the net proceeds in long positions of Mining Issuers. The Manager then has the discretion to sell short securities (in any sector) with a value of up to 30% of the NAV at the time the short sales are made. The cash proceeds from the short sales may then be used to increase the long positions by an amount equal to the short sales, up to 30% of NAV. The net result is a portfolio of up to 130% of NAV in long positions, up to 30% of NAV in short positions, creating a net long exposure of 100% of NAV. The relative value of these long/short positions will vary during the life of the Partnership.
