Long history of mining in family

Previous use of funds


Year 1 (2009 2010) - Eritrea Prospecting licence phase
Office established in Asmara Team established with vehicles & equipment ASTER image anomaly generation & field visit to verify targets. High hit rate (> 80%) of ASTER targets with mineralised zones on the ground Reconnaissance sampling (including rock chip sampling and soil sampling) generating a series of possible anomalies Completion of minimum spend required for conversion to Exploration Licence

Year 1 of 3 (2010 onwards) - Eritrea Exploration licence phase


Detailed mapping and soil sampling completed on advanced targets Gravity survey completed at Gerger $ 580,000 VTEM helicopter-borne survey over approximately 80% of licence area (Magnetics + Radiometrics +/- EM) Airborne data processed by Southern Geoscience Consultants (SGC) in Perth (Australia) and multiple anomalies generated Now ready to start drilling.

Why the Arabian Nubian Shield (ANS)?


The ANS is still relatively unexplored and has the potential to host significant precious and base metal deposits Many of the volcanic massive sulphides (VMS) deposits have gold-rich oxide covers e.g. Hassai Mine in Sudan and Bisha in Eritrea The Arabian Nubian Shield is attracting a lot of interest by majors Major gold mines in the Nubian Shield

Great opportunities for world class low cost, high grade gold, copper and copper zinc deposits
Favourable Mining Law 10% free carried interest by the state in any mining operation + option to buy further 30% at market rate Over 18 different resources companies active in the country 1st modern mine in production Nevsuns Bisha (TSX:NSU) Expected to produce 1.14 million ounces of gold, 11.9 million ounces of silver, 821 million pounds of copper, and over one billion pounds of zinc 2nd mine due to start production in 2013 Chalices Zara Gold Mine (ASX:CHN) Increasing interest in the country by the majors

Potential for gold rich VMS deposits, orogenic gold deposits and industrial minerals e.g. potash

Taninay summary
Outcropping quartz vein system striking NNW for >2 km and up to 40m wide in places

Numerous grab samples collected including one at 223 g/t Au

Considerable historic artisanal workings


Geological & structural mapping completed at 1:2,000 scale completed

Soil sampling completed on a 200m x 200m grid completed


Channel sampling completed over ~60% vein completed Drill targets generated

3000m scout drilling scheduled to start late-November


2 holes per drill pad to test grade and depth continuity If early results are encouraging, drilling will continue

Taninay soil and channel sample values


2km strike of the vein will be tested by preliminary ~3000m scout drilling maximum drill depth 150m depth - HQ Core Drilling scheduled to start late November / early December If initial drilling results are encouraging, drilling will continue with the aim of building up an initial maiden inferred resource

Results at Gerger
Gerger exploration history
Outcropping gossan identified

23 Grab samples collected highest reported was 4% Cu + 4.5 g/t Au

Mapping followed at 1:2,000 scale Soil sampling (425 samples) on a 200m x 200m grid completed

Coincident copper and gold in soils anomaly

Ground gravity survey subsequently completed on a 200m x 200m grid

Gravity anomaly >0.5Mgal over 1.5km coincident with soils anomaly

VTEM anomalies generated correlating with the above anomalies and thereby de-risking prospect ready for drilling These coincident anomalies are typical of other VMS deposits e.g. Hassai and Bisha Drill targets generated drilling late Q4 2011 or early Q1 2012

Near Term Drill target: Huruf gold prospect


Exploration summary
The Huruf target is in a zone of regional structural flexure and intersection
Unlike the NE hosted cross veins, most of the NNW vein systems are anomalous in gold

All alluvial gold workings are from streams that drain from the VTEM-anomalous NNW structure
Frequency of gold anomaly and gold grade increases towards Huruf target. 3 out of the 4 rock chip samples collected are anomalous in gold. Most proximal rock chip sample taken is described as quartz vein with abundant vugs and hematite with dense thick ribbons after sulphides. It has up to 9.7g/t Au with a repeat 11.77 g/t Au, 9.9g/t Ag, 3.49% Fe

20

Near Term Drill target: Naddet gold prospect


Exploration summary
South of Melih targets
Limited sampling along the Qtz vein Large VTEM anomaly Sulphides found in hand specimen. Coincides with lithological boundary Boundary of granite and volcanic unit Grab sample of 10g/t Au >2km strike length

Sudanwithin 6 - 9 months
Large footprint within the ANS Great potential for gold-rich VMS systems e.g. Hassai and orogenic gold systems Many licences have already been granted (mainly to locals) + a few foreign companies e.g. Managem (Morocco), Toro Gold (Guernsey) and others Some licences due to be dropped due to inactivity on the licence opportunity for direct licence application Opportunity for JVs with local Sudanese licence holders State ownership between 20 27% 7% royalty Currently in discussions with 3 separate groups as well as assessing the potential for a direct licence application

Hassai Mine visit (above and below)

Kingdom of Saudi Arabiawithin 6 9 months


Arabian Shield Area: 575,000km2 1,000 ancient gold and copper deposits 5,000 historic occurrences, many not yet subject to systematic exploration Very low historical exploration expenditures

High potential for world class precious and base metal deposits
Dominated by Maaden. Recent entrance by Barrick which acquired Equinox (which in turn had acquired Citadel Resources for $1.2BN) In discussions with a potential Saudi partner who has 3 exploration licences
