Bridgestone Americas’ corporate family (BSA) traces its roots to the establishment of The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company in August 1900. It was then that 31-year-old Harvey S. Firestone (1868-1938) started tire production with 12 employees in Akron, Ohio. On the other side of the globe in 1931, Shojiro Ishibashi (1885-1976) created Bridgestone Tire Company Ltd. (later renamed Bridgestone Corporation). He fashioned the company name by reversing the English translation of his own: “Ishibashi,” which literally means “stone bridge” in Japanese.

Bridgestone Corporation purchased Firestone in 1988 for $2.6 billion, transforming the companies’ combined operations into the world’s largest tire and rubber company. The operations in the Americas were renamed Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. (BFS) and became the largest subsidiary of Bridgestone. As part of its integration with Bridgestone’s existing U.S. operations, Bridgestone/Firestone moved its headquarters from Akron to Nashville in 1992.

In an effort to enhance its core business units and to address its customers’ needs and wants, the company today does business in the Americas under a holding company structure in which Bridgestone Americas, Inc. (BSA) owns several operating units and subsidiaries, which includes the consumer and commercial tire businesses(including 2200 retail stores and thousands of independent dealers; building and industrial products; natural rubber; industrial fibers and textiles; the world’s largest tire retreading business; etc. Bridgestone Americas employs about 55,000 people in more than 15 countries around the globe.

Company: BHP Billiton

Location: The position will be based in Toronto but will require frequent travel to the Saskatoon office and the Jansen mine site. This role is eligible for domestic relocation.

Reporting Relationship: Deputy Project Director, Surface

Website www.bhpbilliton.com

COMPANY BACKGROUND/CULTURE

BHP Billiton is a global leader in the resources industry. BHP Billiton was created through the 2001 merger of BHP Limited (now BHP Billiton Limited) and Billiton Plc (now BHP Billiton Plc). The headquarters of BHP Billiton Limited and the global headquarters of the combined BHP Billiton Group, are located in Melbourne, Australia. BHP Billiton Plc is located in London, United Kingdom, with other corporate centres in Johannesburg, South Africa, and Houston, USA.

The Company brings together an exceptional mix of quality, low-cost resource assets, complemented by a strong management team determined to operate company assets in a safe efficient manner. BHP Billiton’s financial strength derives from its cashflow and balance sheet and a diversity of products and customers, as well as access to global capital markets and an enviable platform of growth opportunities.

BHP Billiton is structured into business units aligned with the commodities extracted and market. The role of the business units is to deliver on the Strategy. They are accountable for managing all activities necessary to deliver and grow EBIT, with the exception of those activities assigned to the Global Operations and Marketing teams. The business units are as follows: Aluminium, Manganese & Nickel, Coal, Copper, Iron Ore, Marketing, Petroleum, Potash and Global Operations.

Potash

The Potash business represents a relatively new area of investment for BHP Billiton, which has evolved from a Joint Venture with Anglo Potash Limited in 2006 to potentially develop one or more mines. Two years later, BHP Billiton bought out its partner to assume sole ownership. The company’s principal activities are aimed at potash project development largely within the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. BHP Billiton has exploration rights to over 14,000 square kilometres of highly prospective ground in the Saskatchewan potash basin. The Jansen Project, located 140 kilometres east of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is the most advanced project and is presently in feasibility study stage.

BHP Billiton believes potash will play an increasingly important role in the global commodities marketplace as growing economies seek to increase agricultural production. The Company’s aggressive advancement of the Jansen Project underscores BHP Billiton’s determination to assume a global leadership role in potash. BHP Billiton has enjoyed a long and successful history in Canada, most recently with its Ekati Diamond Mine in the North West Territories. BHP Billiton’s commitment to the growth of its potash business was further highlighted by the disposition of the Ekati Mine to Dominion Diamond Corporation.

The projected mine capacity for the Jansen Project is approximately 8.0 Mt/y of saleable product with a projected mine life of at least 50 years. The Jansen, Boulder, and Young Projects near LeRoy, Nokomis, and Young, Saskatchewan are carefully planned operations focused on sustainability, the environment, and the community. The Jansen Project alone represents an investment of close to $15B and is one of the largest mining projects in Canada in recent history (no new potash mines have been developed in Canada in almost thirty years). The Project is well-advanced and progressing on schedule.

BHP Billiton has an overriding commitment to Zero Harm: to people, to host communities, and to the environment. The Company’s aim is to build a lasting, positive legacy. After a decade of fostering business growth, community engagement, and employment opportunities in the Northwest Territories, the Company anticipates the same relationship in Saskatchewan.

BHP Billiton’s objective is to be the company of choice – creating sustainable value for shareholders, employees, contractors, suppliers, customers, business partners, and host communities. These efforts have earned the company the distinction of being recognized several times as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers.

The Opportunity

The Jansen Project is one of the largest greenfields mining projects globally and this role represents an opportunity for an ambitious project development professional to join a world class team in advancing the project. This role is a unique opportunity to gain genuine megaprojects experience and BHP Billiton itself offers unparalleled project execution opportunities globally based on the size and breadth of its projects portfolio.

BHP Billiton is building a world class potash business based in Saskatchewan and has a 100-year potash strategy built on a chain of potash developments of which the Jansen Project is the most advanced. The Jansen Potash operation will offer experience using state of the art technology and career development opportunities which are difficult to find elsewhere. BHP Billiton has built a reputation for sustainable resource development, with a focus on safety, health, the environment and the communities that the company works in.

Trevali Mining Corporation (“Trevali”) is a zinc-focused base metals development company with active operations in Canada and Peru. In Peru, the Company is nearing production at its Santander zinc-lead-silver mine where commissioning is expected soon and subsequent ramp up to the planned 2,000-tonnes-per-day production is anticipated by mid-year 2013.

The Company is publically traded [TSX: TV | TSX: TV.WT | BVL (Lima): TV] with a market capitalization of $192M. Management’s corporate vision is to become a leading mineral development company, supported by a culture of teamwork, innovation and integrity. Glencore, MMC Holdings and Xstrata are all significant shareholders in Trevali and the company finds itself in strong financial health as it progresses from being a junior exploration company to a producer with operations internationally.

In Canada, Trevali owns the Caribou Mine & Mill, Halfmile Mine and Stratmat Polymetallic deposit all located in the Bathurst Mining Camp in northern New Brunswick. Initial trial production from the Halfmile Mine was successfully undertaken in 2012 and the Company anticipates commencing operations at its 3,000-tonne-per-day Caribou Mill Complex in late-2013.

The Company also holds the past-producing Ruttan copper-zinc mine in northern Manitoba and the former-producing Huampar silver mine in Peru. All of the Company's deposits remain open for expansion.

Trevali has recently received the Approval to Operate for its Caribou Mine from the Province of New Brunswick. The Approval authorizes Trevali to operate the underground mine, surface mineralized material storage and crushing facility, the concentrator plant, mine water treatment plant and tailings impoundment. The permit also includes all land, buildings, processes and activities associated with the operation of the Caribou Mine and enables Trevali to construct new structures within the currently disturbed area.

The Caribou Mine & Mill

In November, 2012 Trevali completed its acquisition of Maple Minerals Corporation, a private New Brunswick incorporated company that owns the Caribou Mine & Mill Complex located in the Bathurst Mining Camp of northern New Brunswick, Canada, approximately 50km west of Bathurst and along Provincial Highway 180. The acquisition provides Trevali with a modern, state-of-the-art 3,000-tonne-per-day processing plant (that will produce zinc, lead and copper concentrates), and includes a metallurgical and geochemical laboratory, and permitted tailings treatment facility. It also includes a former-producing mine with significant underground development workings and historic resources that can be rapidly and cost-effectively brought on-line. The deposit remains open for expansion and Trevali classifies the upside potential as good to excellent

Between 2006 and 2007, the previous operator of the Caribou Mill & Mine Complex invested approximately $100-to-120 million in a major overhaul and modernization of the processing plant and mine infrastructure. The Mine operated for approximately 13 months prior to going into receivership in 2008 due to depressed commodity prices and adverse global financial conditions.

Immediately prior to shut down, Mill records indicate recoveries of 71% Pb and 83% Zn to produce saleable concentrates. Historically no copper concentrates were produced, which represents additional near-term upside as Trevali intends to add a copper circuit to the processing plant. Trevali believes that the current defined deposit contains excellent exploration potential and production can be fast-tracked to feed the Caribou Mill. Specific upside includes:

Currently defined deposit remains open along strike and at depth.

Silver and gold may be under-estimated by up to 20-30% as there was no routine precious metal analysis in historic drill holes.

Significant copper 'feeder' zones were not previously mined due to lack of a copper circuit in the mill. Trevali plans to add a copper circuit to the mill.

The Halfmile Mine

The Halfmile Mine is located approximately 60 kilometres southwest of Bathurst and 40 kilometres from the Brunswick 12 Mine in the Bathurst Mining Camp. The property consists of 73 claims and covers an area of 1,104 hectares which was acquired by a wholly owned Trevali subsidiary company from Xstrata in 2008 and providing Xstrata the first right and option to purchase all or any portion of the concentrate off-take, as well as a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty.

The property was heavily explored by Xstrata Zinc and its predecessor companies and Trevali believes that its Halfmile and Stratmat properties represent the largest and highest-grade undeveloped deposits in the Bathurst Mining Camp. A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on the Halfmile Property was completed by Tetra Tech Wardrop in October 2010 estimates pre-production capital expenditure requirements of CAD$123 million and capital expenditures of CAD$215 million to achieve full production with a newly constructed mill/processing facility (and not the recently acquired Caribou Mill Complex).

Total projected capital expenditure required over the life of mine is CAD$324 million for a 2,000 tonnes per day underground mining operation utilizing 75% mechanized cut and fill along with 25% longhole methods would be employed. A NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate was completed on the Halfmile property by Tetra Tech Wardrop in February 2009, which estimated:

Indicated Mineral Resource of 6.26 million tonnes grading 8.13% zinc, 2.58% lead, 0.22% copper and 30.78 g/t silver using a 5.0% capped zinc equivalent cut-off grade.

Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.08 million tonnes grading 6.69% zinc, 1.83% lead, 0.14% copper and 20.51 g/t silver using a 5.0% capped zinc equivalent cut-off grade.

Mine life is estimated at over 20 years with payback being achieved in the eighth year of operation from commencement of mine startup. Initial Trial Mining Production was undertaken from January to July 2012 from the Upper Zone of the Halfmile deposit with the material being toll-processed through the Brunswick 12 mill facility and produced good quality, saleable metal concentrates of zinc, lead-silver and copper-gold. Subsequent to the trial mining Trevali has been advancing the underground ramp to the Lower Zone of the deposit in preparation for full production to feed the Company's Caribou Mill Complex.

The Opportunity

Trevali finds itself at a critical juncture in its evolution from being an exploration company to a multi-site producer. Zinc production in 2013 is estimated to be 112 million pounds, and it is forecast to more than double to 242 million pounds in 2014. In early April 2013, all major construction was completed at the Santander Mine in Peru with ramp-up to full nameplate production of 2,000 tpd expected in Q2 2013.

In January 2013, the New Brunswick Government signed the environmental agreement for Trevali's Caribou Mine & Mill Complex. In April 2013, Trevali received final approval of the second $30-million funding portion if its $60M funding facility from RMB enabling the Company to order lead items and advance the New Brunswick Mill & Mine development project towards production. Production is anticipated to grow to over 500M lbs of Zinc by 2016 while Trevali continues to benefit from a diversified metals mix including led, silver and copper/gold.
