McFaulds #1 and 3 have undergone recent resource estimates, Spider filed NI 43-101 report in 2008 (Spider optioned project to UC Resources, Spider to contribute after UC earns up to 55%, Spider to maintain 30% interest). Best hole on project to date drilled in 2004, 18.8 metres averaging 8.02% Copper at McFaulds #3

Recent (winter 2009) ground gravity and magnetic gradient surveys, further rendered, refined, and focused drill targeting.

• NI-43-101 report by Micon International filed in March 2009 outlined scope of work for next phase of exploration, chrome target area was delineated as result of series of winter 2009 ground geophysical surveys

•Fall ’09 program encompassed ~9,000 metres of drilling (utilizing two drills), initiated base line environmental study, additional geophysical surveying, pre-planning for resource estimate drilling. Identified continuously mineralized chromite body for 1300 metre strike length to depths of 375 metres, varying widths.

• Holes consistently averaged in excess of 40% Cr2O3 over several tens of metres, with Cr:Fe ratios in 1.75 to 2.0 range (comparable to the best in the world).

Winter 2010 diamond drilling preparation of NI-43-101 compliant resource estimate

•Winter 2010 drilling entailed approximately 1,500 additional metres to test Big Daddy at 100 metre centers to define areas of near surface chromite mineralization amenable to near term exploitation.

• Micon International Ltd. was engaged to prepare and complete a NI 43-101 report, including a compliant resource estimate based upon 48 drill holes that tested Big Daddy along continuous strike length of 1000 metres to depth of 375 metres;

• Operatorship switched to KWG on April 1, 2010 – project undergoing planning for pre-feasibility program based upon indicated resource outlined in the Micon report. Planning is underway for summer 2010 program, minimum commitment from Spider in order of $2.5 million (Flow through applicable)

The McFaulds Project is located in the James Bay Lowlands, the area of one of Canada’s newest exploration camps, and an exciting area of new, multi -metal discoveries by several exploration companies.

The project encompasses 141 staked claims (~32,000 hectares) and has had over 90 holes drilled between 2003 and the end of 2009.

Highlights include discovery of 10 individual VMS occurrences, of which 2 have undergone detail drilling with resource estimates (NI 43-101 technical report filed on SEDAR). The best drill intersection encountered 18.8m averaging 8.02% copper (Hole McF-04-57) in McFaulds #3 occurrence.

UC Resources Inc has an Option to earn up to 55% ownership in the project by spending $4.5 million on the project over 4 years (UC has earned 40% thus far by incurring in excess of $3.25 million prior to March 2010).

•Kyle Kimberlite Project – Spider discovered diamondiferous 5 kimberlites NE of the “Ring of Fire” area in the mid-1990’s. Filed NI 43-101 report in 2008 (Spider optioned project to Renforth, Spider only contributes after Renforth earns up to 55% , Spider maintains 30% interest) Discussions underway with Renforth to revisit this project agreement and make it a priority project for Spider during the last half of 2010. •Diagnos Initiative Project – a conceptual project within the Ring of Fire, using statistical analysis of proprietary geophysical datasets to generate targets similar to other known successfully tested targets. Six properties were acquired, airborne surveys completed resulting in one priority drill target (50:50 partnership with KWG, Spider is operator as per May 2006 JV agreement) • Wawa Diamond Project – Spider discovered several diamond occurrences along the Trans Canada Highway, near Wawa, in 1996. Project advanced to drill phase in 2008, main “Lalibert 156” occurrence tested, all samples yielded diamonds, more work planned. (50:50 partnership KWG can elect to contribute or dilute once Spider has earned 66.66% interest, Spider is operator of project per May 2006 JV agreement) •MacFadyen Diamond Project – a diamond exploration project near the Victor Diamond Mine, 100 tonne bulk test planned by Debuts Diamond (KWG controls Debuts, Spider to contribute to maintain 33.33%, KWG is operator per May 2006 JV agreement). Preliminary discussions underway with KWG on revisiting this agreement and working it into the Kyle project as noted above.

Spider Resources Inc, founded in 1992 as a diamond exploration resource company. It is now 2010. Spider has matured over the past 18 years to become a very successful exploration company, with a very proud history of exploration success, not only in diamonds but in base and precious metals, also in chromite. Our success speaks for itself. We are the envy of many other explorers in the junior resource sector. What was once an exciting exploration project, has just become an exciting pre-development project. Big Daddy is a world class chromite deposit.

“Spider is the spark that set off the Ring of Fire, this spark continues to burn bright. Spider is changing, the spark is now a flame, watch us change, but don’t watch from a distance!”
