General Description

The mine is one of the richest known deposit in Nigeria with a recorded mining grade of 30g/ton

Assay results of up to 36g/ton were recorded for chip samples from Okolom

Extensive lenses and veins of quartz in faults and shear zone were found

Geophysical investigation identified a main quartz vein of approximately 2.8km. Two major sub parallel suspected veins of about 800m and 1.5km were delineated

It compares with the “pinch and swell” structures found in California

Infrasructure

Fairly accessible by untarred road at 23 km north from Isanlu which is connected to the national electricity grid

Water would be available all year round through the ponding of the Okolom river

Telephone facilities available

Exploration Results

Gold values in quartz veins are variable along strike from 0.1 to 36g/t Au in Okolom

Gold values also vary in weathered gneiss (up to 12.96g/t Au)

Five of the directional drilled holes showed mineralization at between 13.6m and 19.73m vertical depth
