Company Highlights

• 2+ years since start of drilling programmes

• No resources compliant to international standards (JORC) at outset

• We have moved rapidly to improve and increase the reportable Mineral Resources as such:

– 22nd Aug 2005 0.57 Moz (18 tonnes gold)– 8th Sept 2006 1.0 Moz (31 tonnes gold)– 3rd Oct 2006 1.74 Moz (54 tonnes gold)

• Huge upside; but low grade deposit requiring specific expertise to explore and develop

Benefits to Rajasthan
