5 Mali Fostering Development Southern Mali. Long history of gold production. 3 rd largest gold producer in Africa with a large representation of major mining companies. Highly trained and educated work force. Favourable fiscal regime and Government supportive of mining investment. 5

6 Corporate Strategy Mine Development Our Vision To be a 50,000 oz Au per annum producer by 2016 Targeting the processing of 1.6 million tonnes of ore per annum Simple Mining + Simple Processing = Low capital costs Simple Mining + Simple Processing = Low operating costs 6

7 Project Overview Kobada concession 215km 2 7

8 Mineral Resource MIK estimation, constrained within grade shells. Estimation technique widely used for this style of mineralisation. Average M&I grade up by 20% on previous estimate. +1g/t average grade has a significant impact on project economics. 8

9 Metallurgy Simple process flow sheet 1.6 million tonnes per annum throughput 9

10 Metallurgy Test Work Pre-concentration; Gravity Concentration; Direct leaching of table concentrates possible; Grinding and leaching of table tailing; Overall recovery of 85% of gold; 10

11 Project Overview PEA Highlights 1.6Mtpa gravity concentration and concentrate leaching operation; Annual production in first two years of more than 50,000 Au ounces; Low cash costs. $482 per ounce for the first two years of operations; All in sustaining costs (AISC) of $792 per ounce life of mine; Preproduction Capital Expenditure $46.6M ($6.1 in contingency) Project NPV 5% (after tax) of US$126 million; Project IRR (after tax) of 53%; and Significant exploration potential remaining. 11
