Ghana Overview Ghana is well endowed with gold resources, containing multiple world‐class gold deposits, ranging in size from 2.0- 40.0 Moz It is the second largest African gold producer after South Africa, however it remains an under‐explored exploration jurisdiction. Ghana has a stable government and a mature, well developed exploration and mining services industry

Project Overview Antubia gold project Antubia is located adjacent to the faulted western margin of the Sefwi Belt, ~90km southwest of Newmont’s 17.7Moz Ahafo gold mine. Salman South and Mame gold projects Salman South and Mame are located within the highly endowed “Salman Shear” gold trend in the southern extension of the Ashanti Belt, immediately south west of Endeavour’s Nzema Gold Mine (2.1Moz). Kong gold project Kong is located in the north west of Ghana and covers +50km strike of the highly prospective north east trending Bole Bolgatanga Belt.

Antubia Gold Project Antubia consists of two licences with a combined area of 295 km 2. Three significant but underexplored gold geochemical anomalies have been defined, including the +3.5km long high tenor Boizan anomaly. Shallow RC drilling at Boizan has demonstrated the presence of near surface gold mineralisation, intersecting up to 18m at 2.74g/t. Heliborne EM survey underway at Boizan to assist in defining structural “jogs” within the large high tenor anomaly for future drill testing. High tenor Edukrom anomaly associated with extensive historical gold workings yet to be drill tested.
9
Kong Gold Project Kong consists of 8 prospecting licences covering over 1,200 km 2 within the highly prospective and under-explored NW region of Ghana. The project covers +50 km strike of structural contact zones between Birimian volcanics, sediments and later stage granitoids within the Bole Bolgatanga Belt. Limited wide spaced soil sampling has identified anomalous trends at a +10 ppb gold in soil contour in the south east of the project area.
10
Salman South / Mame Projects Two concessions located along strike to the south of gold deposits that form part of Endeavour’s 2.1 Moz Nzema gold mine in the southern extension of the Ashanti Belt. Four +50ppb gold in soil anomalies measuring +1km in length identified at Salman South, one of which (A1) appears to be the southern extension of Endeavour’s Salman South deposit. Previous drilling at A1 located to the west of interpreted mineralised trend based on the new geochemical and geological data. Six coherent +50ppb gold in soil anomalies identified at Mame on an apparent extension of the trend that hosts Endeavour’s Avrebo gold prospect. Drill ready soil anomalies with scope to define shallow gold mineralisation adjacent to Endeavour’s Nzema gold mine. 
11
Summary Positioned in world class gold jurisdiction Ghana is the second largest African gold producer after South Africa, with a range of world class to giant gold deposits Recent downturn in exploration provides an opportunity to acquire and explore high quality gold projects. Current projects well located, with scope for near term production. Proximal to Infrastructure Established mining jurisdiction with excellent infrastructure including; roads, power and processing facilities. Ghana has a mature, well developed exploration and mining services industry, with local assay labs, drilling companies and ready access to highly qualified technical personnel. Experienced management team Experienced high quality Board and executive management with established strong relationships with local exploration and project management specialists Attractive long term fundamentals for gold Increasing physical demand in developing countries. Significant curtailment of exploration and discovery in high cost regimes. Continued economic uncertainty in developed nations.
