Regional Exploration Activities
Geological mapping to outline structural, lithological and stratigraphic framework of the properties and prospects
Successive surface geochemical sampling programs:
Stream sediment BLEG and follow‐up ‐80 mesh sampling Grid soil sampling
Rock chip/grab sampling of alteration zones and artisanal workings Helicopter assisted mapping and sampling

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

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
