EXPLORATION OVERVIEWDrilling Overview
Currently, the Kibi Gold Discovery is comprised of four high-grade zones ofover 5 km in length.
The Company has drilled over 30,000 m.
Infill drilling has commenced in Zone 2 to start defining a reserve.
Three other high-grade zones are being drilled to expand the gold mineralization.
The Company has also identified several new geophysical drill results based onthe recent VTEM survey conducted.

APPENDIX “A”
IP / Resistivity – Magnetometer Surveys
Kibi Gold Trend Geophysics
The entire 5.5 km length of the Kibi anomalous gold-in-soil trend was covered by pole – dipole Induced Polarization (IP) / Resistivity (62 km) and Magnetometer surveys to further define the lithological / structural nature of the mineralized trend and prioritized drill targets (see “Surface GeologyDrill Plan” on slide 17)
The IP / Resistivity survey identified 2 main resistive domains exhibiting a close spatial relationship with the main 4 gold-in-soil anomalies of the Kibi Gold Trend (Zones 1 to 4); the resistive terrain is interpreted to reflect the widespread granitoids and/or carbonate–silica alteration associated with the known gold mineralization
The survey outlined a prominent NE trending, high chargeability, typically with high conductivity, central corridor possibly reflecting a regional graphite–bearingshear zone
The continuity of the central anomalous chargeability corridor is intermittently dissected by geophysically / geochemically anomalous NW trending structures
The NE extremity of the anomalous chargeability corridor is associated with a non-magnetic domain (Mag Low) possibly reflecting alteration related magnetite destruction of the hostrock
