7 Exploration for Gold, Metals and Diamonds in Southern Africa Land Position in Southern Africa:  Prospecting Gold Licenses, 230 sq. km. in aggregate in Mozambique.  2,890 sq. km. of diamond licenses in Botswana and 6,268 sq. km. Namibia.  On June 27, 2008 the Company received the Southern African assets in a spin-off transaction related to the acquisition of Pan African Mining Corp. By Asia Thai Mining Co., Ltd. @ $4.50 per share.

8  Long History of artisanal gold mining.  Political stability since new Government entered in 2004, with strong support from the World Bank  The Company’s interests in the Fingoe Belt, encompass approximately 230sq.km.of gold and other metals properties.  Gold and metals properties arise from Earn-In and Joint Venture Agreement with OptiMetal Trading Limited (“Optimetal”) under which the Company can earn up to an 85% interest.  The King Solomon Project is the focal point for our work on Mozambique’s Fingoe Belt.  Broad-based exploration is underway. Mozambique King Solomon Project

9  The initial reconnaissance drill program of approximately 2000-3000 m is being conducted on a contract basis for the Company and its partner, Swiss-based Opti Metal Trading Limited (“Optimetal”), by Resource Drilling Mozambique Lda. of Tete, Mozambique.  Resource Drilling has been active in most parts of Africa over the past 15 years and has a fleet of some 20 drill rigs.  The drilling program began with the construction of all necessary access tracks, selection of drill sites and mobilization of the drill rig to site.  The Project is being managed on behalf of the Company by Senior Consulting Geologist Mr. Pete Siegfried (M.Sc., MAusIMM), a qualified person  Initial analytical results from the first three reconnaissance drill holes from the western portion of the first target (Mankombiti Target), have been received from Genalysis Laboratories of Johannesburg, S.A.  Drilling of 12 additional reconnaissance boreholes have been completed for this first pass program to a depth of approximately 100-200m with addition drill holes ongoing.  Analytical results for the completed dill holes are pending.

20  The Project is situated some 380 km. by road from the capital city of Nairobi and 60 km. N of the border with Tanzania, forming part of the rich Lake Victoria Greenstone Belt extending from Tanzania and hosting known world-class gold deposits including African Barrick Gold’s Bulyanhulu and North Mara Mines, within approximately 100 km. of the Project, and AngloGold Ashanti’s Geita Mine.  Historical records of gold production are known. Numerous Artisanal Gold Mines excavating alluvial and in-situ vein quartz.  Phase 1 sampling, trenching and pitting program is now underway includes: (i) comprehensive rock and soil sampling, trenching and pitting over the license area; (ii) geological mapping and evaluation; and (iii) airborne geophysical studies.  Phase 1 Exploration Program is underway to assess the overall geologic structure of the License area and the likelihood of a commercially viable gold deposit within the License area, as well as to identify discreet drill targets for a Phase 2 core drilling program.

29 Diamond Projects Namibia / Botswana Tsau Kimberlite Project consists of a block of three contiguous Prospecting Licences with a combined area of approximately 2,890 sq. km., adjacent to the Botswana-Namibia border, in the Ngamiland District of NW Botswana. The Namibian Kimberlite Project consists of a block of seven contiguous Exploration Prospecting Licences with a combined area of approximately 6,268 sq. km., adjacent to the Botswana- Namibia border in eastern Namibia.

30 Diamond Program Botswana – Tsau Kimberlite Project  Licensed block possess characteristics closely comparable to those associated with known sub- Kalahari kimberlites. The model for target selection was developed by Dr. Andy Moore, (VP, Exploration - Diamonds) in collaboration with the Company’s consultants, Drs. Marty McFarlane and Frank Eckardt. All three have carried out extensive research on the geomorphology of Ngamiland and the origin of the Kalahari sand cover over a period of many years.  Existing geochemical data has revealed the presence of a sizeable anomalous surface concentration of diamonds and G10 garnets to the west of the Company’s prospects across the border in Namibia, near the village of Tsumkwe.  The Company has completed its First Phase Geochemical Sampling on Key Botswana Diamond Licenses; 113 Circular Magnetic Anomalies Identified. In-house screening of the magnetic data has identified 28 targets for first phase follow-up.  A total of 6 holes were drilled on 5 different aeromagnetic and photo anomalies, and samples dispatched for chemical and petro graphic analysis. No kimberlites were intersected during this initial drilling phase.  Follow-up drilling of further photo-features within the Tsau Property is planned during the next three-month period.

31 Tsau Diamond Project Priority Targets Fieldwork in the Tsau Licence block Property to date has included surface loam sampling and ground geophysics (magnetic and gravity surveys) over targets that were selected in-house from an aeromagnetic survey flown by the Botswana Government. In addition, geophysical surveys and sampling were carried out over a number of circular photo-features. A number of the aeromagnetic targets investigated are characterized by bulls-eye magnetic highs with coincident gravity bulls-eye features, comparable to those associated with sub-Kalahari kimberlite pipes. No kimberlitic minerals were recovered, over the aeromagnetic targets, but low counts were recorded over two of the nearby photo-features, providing encouragement for the existence of sub-Kalahari kimberlites. Based on these results, a cross-section of geophysical targets were selected for a drilling programme.

32 Tsau Area Photo Features - Potential Virgin Kimberlite Fields

33 Diamond Program Namibia  Namibian and Botswana licences are proximal to a major unexplained surface concentration of kimberlitic minerals in the vicinity of the village of Tsumkwe in northeast Namibia. The strategic location of the licences is underlined by an in-house reconstruction of ancient drainage lines. This indicates that the Tsumkwe anomaly lies astride an ancient river system, with headwaters to the east within the company’s Namibian and Botswana licences, and provides encouragement that the primary kimberlite source of these minerals is to be found within these licences..  The Company’s diamond exploration in Namibia is overseen by Dr. Andy Moore, V.P Exploration – Diamonds, and Senior Consulting Geologist Pete Siegfried, M. Sc., both of whom are Qualified Persons.  Ground geophysical follow-up, both magnetic and gravity, and soil sampling has recently been carried out over selected aeromagnetic bulls-eye anomalies and photo features within the Namibia project ground. The results have been evaluated with the view to ranking targets for a drilling programme scheduled to commence in the fall of 2010.

34 Diamond Distribution Potential Source(s) Tsumkwe diamonds and G10 garnets found to the NW of our licenses. The line of diamonds in Figure I reflects an old drainage direction which must therefore have been from the SE to the NW. General thickening of the Kalahari sand cover from east to west further supports a prominent ESE-WNW trend. General slope of the ground is from east to west, the diamonds could be derived from a source(s) in our prospect areas. Figure 1
