Major Gold Deposits in Africa Largest Gold Producer 2 nd Top Gold Producer 3 rd Top Gold Producer Focused on gold in Ghana and Tanzania – 2 stable countries Quality gold projects 400,000 oz on a fully permitted past producer in Ghana with a 30 year mining lease 3

Gold Projects, Tanzania Tanzania: Gold & Diamonds Lake Victoria Goldfields: Area with over 50 million oz in gold reserves Itilima Project (43-101): gold and diamonds Lwenge/Geita Gold Project Kishapu Lalago Other properties in Tanzania: Vukene Kilindi 4

Priority Project: Sian, Ghana Sian on Ashanti Gold Belt Sian contains two previous open pit mines and a 400,000 oz resource at 2.3 g/t 30 km NE of Newmont’s Akyem 8.7+ million oz deposit Production capital costs minimized by existing mine infrastructure Drill results show significant exploration upside potential Other Ghana Projects: Kwahu Praso (Ashanti Belt) Kaniago (Asankrangwa Belt) 5

Priority Project: Sian Presentation will focus on priority project: Sian, Ghana Most advanced, early term ROI Sian: past gold producer with a 93% gold recovery rate Just 30 km north of Newmont Mining’s 8.7+ million oz Akyem gold deposit on the Ashanti Gold Belt Infrastructure, power, roads, water, and CIL (Carbon in Leach) plant 30 year renewable mining lease with 17 years remaining Sian resource has the potential to reach over 1 million oz in the next 12 months 6

Aiming for a Multimillion oz Deposit Sian Sian: 50 sq km of prime ground in elephant country Gold resource on the Sian project: 400,000 oz resource Additional 700,000 oz in gold potential Only 10% drilled to date Dixcove Granites – part of the geological structure 7

Sian Plant

Sian Open Pit

Priority Project: Sian Sian Gold Project Completely surrounded by Newmont Mining In open pit gold production 2000 to % gold recovery rate at 2.3 g/t No refractory gold Fully permitted Need to increase tonnage and bring Sian back into production by the end of 2010 Estimated timeframe to production: 12 months from date of financing Sian Processing Plant, Ghana; April

Sian Plant

Focus on Sian What we need to do concurrently: 1.Prove up a minimum of 1 million oz of gold on direct extensions of the Sian gold deposit and drill test new zones to: -Increase indicated resource (infill drilling and drilling at depth) -Upgrade to a measured category (definition drilling) -Complete a scoping study and update the feasibility study (bankable) 1.Engineering review of CIL plant to determine costs of re-commissioning (bankable report) 2.Airborne VTEM survey over Sian to accelerate drilling 18

Goal: Gold Production on Sian by the end of 2010 Targets and objectives Expected initial production: 12 months away –Initially 2,000 tonnes / day x 300 days = 600,000 tonnes per year –93% gold recovery rate –600,000 tonnes at 2.3 g/t = 44,516 oz of gold in year 1 Expected revenues –Assume gold at $850 USD per oz –Gross revenue at $850 per oz = $38 million USD –Production cost at $350 per oz = $16 million USD Revenue net of costs per oz – year 1 –$22 million USD 19

Technical Partnerships Midlands team: best in geology, best in operations – We know Africa well Midlands is partnered with a strong engineering company to move the Sian project forward Engineering partner knows Africa well and has –Operational experience –Project management experience –Technical and engineering expertise –Knowledge of Ghana –Track record in bringing properties to production 20

Financing Requirements For Sian Up to $5 million USD required in the next 12 months To achieve the following: –At least 1 million oz –A scoping study and a bankable updated feasibility study –A bankable technical report on the existing CIL plant –A VTEM air magnetic and radiometric survey to accelerate further drilling to grow the resource –Take Sian to a production decision 21

Use of Funds: $5 million Sian $3 million – up to 20,000 metres of drilling –Definition drilling: 10,000 metres –Infill drilling: 5,000 metres –Engineering and condemnation drilling: 3,000 metres –Contingency: 2,000 metres $500,000 – engineering metallurgical testing $250,000 – scoping study and update of feasibility study $250,000 – airborne VTEM and radiometric survey $200,000 – resource/reserve calculation and update $800,000 – working capital 22

Investment Decision Points Early Exploration - Soil Surveys - Geological Mapping - Geological data review - Target generation Exploration Drilling Exploration Drilling - Resource Generation - Definition Drilling - Resource Categories Feasibility Study Mine Development High Risk Decreasing Risk
