Reasons to Invest

 Major position in Burkina Faso and Mali

• Exposure to the fastest growing gold producing region in the world

• Golden Rim is not relying on a single project for success

• Experienced in-country teams enables “fast track” exploration

• Significant drilling program for 2011-2012 field season (strong news flow)

• Infill drilling on the Netiana Lodes confirming our understanding of the geometry of the mineralisation

• Potential re-rating on resource definition
