Advancing Projects in Major Gold Provinces
Mark Calderwood, Managing Director
November 2005


Perseus Mining listed on the ASX in late 2004 to explore for and develop large gold deposits within regions that host numerous "World Class" gold deposits.
Perseus has built a strong portfolio of exploration projects in West Africa and the Kyrgyz Republic which have been selected using strict criteria: •significant prior exploration; •favorable geological setting and style of mineralisation; •robust exploration model; and $\bullet$ drill ready

West Africa is amongst the most prolific regions in the world for recent gold discoveries
Ivory Coast
- Politics improving. An African success
- Newmont, Randgold, $\bullet$ Golden Star, Equigold, Etruscan, Cluff.
- story. Anglogold-Ashanti, Newmont, Golden Star, Red Back, Adamus.
Ghana
The Kyrgyz Republic contains the rich Tien Shan gold belt
- Good infrastructure, mining history.
- Centerra, Barrick, Central Asia, Oriel, Eurasian.

Thank You
Interesting comparison between geologically similar Ashanti and Syama gold belts.
note:
exploration in Ashanti belt started ~100 years prior to Syama belt
