The Company previously reported geophysical survey results in its South Morila concession and identified six target prospects, and previously reported the mobilization of a geochemical orientation survey over four of these prospects (see below). A total of 240 samples were collected from the "B Horizon" within the soil profile and submitted to SGS laboratories in Bamako, Mali for analysis. Sample depths were commonly 50-70cm from surface with depths the greatest in areas where agricultural and horticultural activities were observed. One detailed soil grid was completed over the Farani prospect area, with orientation and verification soil sampling over the Northern Line, Syinsorola Trend, and K3SX prospect areas. The laboratory results could not be reconciled with the historic auger samples collected by Anglogold. Auger sampling was at depths of up to 3m and it is now believed that the methodology used for the soil survey was not appropriate. The Company continues to review results to date and its exploration program.

Andrew Dacey (R.P.Geo & FIMMM), the Company's technical adviser, is the Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, who approved the scientific and technical information in this news release.
