Advancing Projects in Major Gold Provinces

Mark Calderwood, Managing Director

February 2006

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.
Newmont, Randgold, $\bullet$ Golden Star, Equigold, Etruscan. Cluff are present.
story. Anglogold-Ashanti, Newmont, Golden Star, Red Back,

Adamus are active.

An African success

Ghana

The Kyrgyz Republic contains the rich Tien Shan gold belt

Good infrastructure, mining history.
Centerra, Barrick, Oriel, Eurasian are active.

Key Projects

Tolubay – Kyrgyz Republic (100%) At Obdilla, significant insitu mineralisation discovered in "Carlin Style" setting.

Tengrela – Ivory Coast (80%) Currently drilling one of the best groups of untested soil anomalies in West Africa

Grumesa – Ghana (90%) 450,000oz resource, in feasibility for 50,000oz production, still much larger potential.

Savoyardy – Kyrgyz Republic (100%) Significant Soviet resource and recent discoveries.

Kwatechi – Ghana $(76%)$ New high grade discovery may impact on nearby Grumesa production.

Taken Obdilla (Tolubay Project) from soil anomaly to insitu discovery to resource drilling in 5 months;
First resource at Obdilla expected well before anniversary of discovery;
Drilling started at Tengrela in Ivory Coast, early success;
Macquarie Bank Limited has taken an initial 4.8% stake.

Good infrastructure, mining history. ۰

* Started or ended in mineralisation # Mineralised throughout

Located on the border of Ivory Coast and Mali in an area known for:

Large gold deposits including one of the top mines in the world -Morila;
Few large coherent anomalies, but a high conversion rate of these to gold deposits;
Very high grade mineralisation; and
Being an under explored region.

The Tengrela project covers 65km strike of the Syama gold belt and many of the strongest soil anomalies.

Tengrela - Ivory Coast

Tengrela - Ivory Coast $(80%)$

Drilling commenced late Nov 2005 $>20,000$ m allocated to 8 prospects:

First drill results included $33m$ $\omega$ $11g/t$ Au;
Continuous reconnaissance drilling planned;
Second drill rig being sought to follow up significant intercepts.

One of the strongest undrilled target zones in West Africa - spectacular gold in soil anomalies.

Resolute obtaining high grade drill results from Tabakoroni discovery 1.1km from Perseus licence.

$G$ rumesa — Ghana (90%)

Thank You

Interesting comparison between geologically similar Ashanti and Syama gold belts.

note:

exploration in Ashanti belt started ~100 years prior to Syama belt
