Corcoesto Project | Overview

Located 35km W of the La Coruna in NW Spain, Spain one of the most propro mining regions

100% ownership p

2010 NI43-101 Compliant Resource – Measured & Indicated: 315,000oz , Gold Inferred: 885,000oz Gold

7 major gold vein systems open along strike and at depth

Active drill program underway – Highlight Drill Hole to date 10E10: 10.72 g/t Gold over 17m

Potential for both open pit and underground operations 6


Corcoesto Project | Details • Previous work on the project has consisted of

geological mapping, geophysical surveying, and soil and rock g geochemistry y including g trenching and 42,000m of diamond and RC drilling in +400 holes

• Gold mineralization associated with quartz

veins quartz breccias and silicification veins,

• Amenable to conventional open-pit mining

(low strip ratio due to favorable topography)

• Excellent infrastructure; roads and 22 Kv

power line crossing project

• Currently permitted for small scale mining • Permit to be resubmitted due to increase in

resource size.

Summary

• Ghana – Enchi Gold Project: located in one of the most prolific gold

regions of the world; major resource delineation and new gold target drilling program. A 12,000m Diamond drilling program underway

• Spain – Advanced stage 100% controlled Corcoesto gold deposit:

hosts a NI 43-101 43 101 M&I resource of 315,000 315 000 oz Gold with 885 885,000 000 oz Gold of Inferred, the deposit is open for resource expansion and is potentially amenable to low cost open pit mine development. A 12,000m Diamond drilling program underway

• Management team - in place with a proven track record of advancing

undervalued gold projects and maximizing shareholder value
