Development Plan

Corporate ObjectivesCorporate Objectives Increase shareholder value through

exploration & development of large impact mineral projects in North America and Australia

Build a cash flow driven resource company within 2 years through strategic development of existing and proven properties in Australia and North America

Continued exploration and mining of high grade, shallow gold, copper and nickel deposits in Australia

Development of a major gold tailings project in South Dakota

Gold license #5809 covers 3.42 hectares (9 acres) & is valid till Dec. 2022

Dredging license #1231 covers 40.44 hectares (90 acres), due for renewal in 2004 for 21 years

Hill End is the richest gold field, per ton of ore crushed, in history, with the average grade recovered over 30 oz per ton.

639 lb Gold Nugget (world’s largest) mined

at Hill End in 1872 1997 production at Golden Gully produced

2 oz/ton at a depth of 190 feet along a 240 foot section of one 10” wide gold bearing reef. Mining ceased when miners broke into old workings

There is a total of 11 gold bearing reefs in this saddle reef formation

Past mining restricted to a depth of 250’ due to water flows which today are no problem

Gold reefs are known to extend to at least 1500’

Hill End Cont’dHill End Cont’dNSW, AUSTRALIA (Au)NSW, AUSTRALIA (Au)

Production Plan:

Sink a decline or vertical shaft initially to 600 ft. vertical

This will allow access to all 11 gold bearing reefs

Production target 200 tons per day for 400 ounces of gold

This will increase periodically due to patches of bonanza grade gold values (ie. Up to 20 ounces per ton in Cosmopolitan shaft – 1872 mine manager’s report)

3) Prospects D and D “A” (NT, Aus.) Define ore reserves on Prospect D and

D “A”. Prospect D “A” could be mined by

open cut from surface on high grade oxidised copper nickel to expose the underlying massive sulphide ore body (Prospect D)

Cost to feasibility, Prospect D $3 million Australian

Cost to feasibility, Prospect D “A” $1 million Australian

4) Whitewood Creek Reinstate joint venture with Barrick to

carry out original terms of Homestake agreement to develop and mine tailings

Or, lease the Barrick properties & Goldstake would mine the tailings for a cost of less than $100 US per ounce
