Zara Project BLEG Sampling Results (2010)

==> picture [721 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

BLEG orientation survey covering known gold‐mineralized central area confirmed the effectiveness of the method Sampling extended t o rema ni der of Zara tenement block

Significant (>5ppb) gold anomalism identified on all three Zara EL’s

Zara North EL Follow‐up – Infill Drainage Sampling

Drainage BLEG sampling identified Zara North EL western drainage had most significant gold anomalies outside Koka‐Konate corridor Follow up ‐80# sampling confirmed BLEG anomalism over 10km strike length Anomalism focused along major regional shear zone Numerous artisanal workings identified along anomalous trend

13

Regional Rock Chip/Grab Results

Initial follow‐up of BLEG and ‐ 80# anomalies by reconnaissance geological mapping and rock‐chip li samp ng

Best rock‐chip values coincide with drainage anomalies Significant gold values (to 32.8g/t) obtained from sampling of artisanal workings
