CITYVIEW IN WESTERN AFRICA

CityView Corporation Ltd is an Australian based exploration company, listed on the ASX in Australia, OTCBB in the USA and DAX in Germany. Its main listing is on the ASX as CVI.

CityView’s primary focus is in Western Africa where it has base metals projects in Angola and an Oil & Gas project in the Cameroon. The Company is also applying in partnership for onshore oil concessions in Angola’s Kwanza Basin and in the Niger Delta in the Cameroon.

The Company’s management team has extensive experience in Africa with a good mixture of both technical and business skills.

CityView’s strategy is to accelerate existing mineral & oil projects through drilling with the aim of early production. Furthermore, CityView’s global network of contacts is providing further value creation opportunities through acquisition or joint venture.

The Company intends to quickly move to assess the economic parameters of each project with a view to advancing the project to production.

THE STORY SO FAR…

2006

March CityView was a technically insolvent company listed on ASX owning two defunct Indonesian oil andgas permits.

March Mark Smyth accepts position of CEO, restructures the board, refinances the Company and focuses the Company’s long term strategy on metal and energy projects in Africa, in particular Angola.

July CityView acquires 30% (21% Equity) working interest in the Longonjo Metals & Ucua Beryllium Projects in Angola through partnership with Petro Africa Energy.

November CityView lists on Frankfurt Stock Exchange and reactivates its listing on NASD:OTCBB

November CityView in conjunction with Angolan partners apply for two onshore oilfields in Angola’s Kwanza Basin.

2007

June CityView acquires right to purchase 20% share in Cameroon Oilfield – North Matanda PH72.

July CityView forms advisory board consisting of world class oil experts.

August CityView commences feasibility on North Matanda PH72.

September CityView’s consulting geologists confirm extensive mineralisation at the Catabola prospect in the license. Sampling of old exploration adits confirm 84m at 0.81% Cu in adit 2, including 48m at 1.21% Cu & 4m at 4.7% Cu.

October CityView increases its interest in North Matanda PH72 by acquiring right to purchase 40% share.

November CityView increases its working interest in Longonjo and Ucua to 79% (55.3% equity) and commences drilling at Catabola prospect.

WHY ANGOLA?

End of civil war has allowed access to onshore areas.

Angola has an untapped wealth of energy and minerals – CityView is one of the first to explore for minerals in the country since the civil war stopped.

Companies enjoy favorable tax and working conditions:• 30% company tax• Major oil producers already pumping >1.7m barrels oil / day offshore

MOST IMPORTANTLY CityView has the business and government connections to acquire and finance projects within Western Africa

ANGOLALongonjo & Ucua

Longonjo Metals ProjectThe Longonjo license covers an area of 3,764 square kilometers southwest of the city of Huambo in central Angola. The license area lies within the Congo Craton, an Archaean basement which has been overlain by Proterozoic and Eocene sediments and intruded by a series of Proterozoic granites and Cretaceous ultramafic pipes. Work to date has revealed two prospects within the license area. These have been named Longonjo Carbonatite and Catabola.

CarbonatiteLongonjo Carbonatite consists of an outer rim of altered granitoid around a series of central polymictic, carbonate rich breccias. The distribution of carbonatites in Angola is loosely related kimberlites and they are generally situated within the same NE-SW trend as the kimberlites. Longonjo carbonatite is known to be prospective for niobium, tantalum and uranium minerals in particular, as well as other minerals commonly associated with carbonatite complexes.

CatabolaCatabola is an IOCG (iron oxide copper-gold) occurrence situated in the southern part of the licence area. Copper and iron oxide mineralization has been identified over a 1.6km strike length, with copper minerals including azurite, malachite and chrysocolla constituting approximately 50% of the host rock.

Ucua Beryllium ProjectThe Ucua licence covers an area of 1,358 square kilometers and hosts the Dande Pegmatite Complex. This complex is potentially an important source of beryllium, with studies conducted during the 1970’s indicating the potential for the occurrence of economic quantities of beryllium. 59 prospects have been identified in the license area and these will be examined in the current field season.

Proposed Drilling Program – November to December

• Total of 2200m to be drilled at Catabola and 800m at the Carbonatite Rare Earth Prospect • The purpose of this drilling programme is to delineate, both along strike and down dip,

the extent of the copper/gold mineralisation observed in the old workings at Catabola.
