Furthermore, results previously obtained during a reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign at N'Golola within the Mininko permit, located at 6 km South south-west of Nampala, indicates the possibility of another high potential zone within the Mininko permit.
Results collected during the drilling campaign of N'Golola (see press release dated 19 January 2006).

Recalling that Bumigeme Inc., a Canadian company with a vast experience in the development of dressing procedures and mineral plants operation, has been awarded the contract for performing the Nampala project feasibility study whose purpose is to define the application modalities of an open-pit mining operation using a 5,000 tons a day cyanide processing plant. The engineering firm Met-Chem has been hired to develop the mine plan for this Feasibility study, as announced in the March 2nd, 2011 press release.
The required topographic surveying of the Nampala project, as well as the environmental and social impact studies have been completed. The draft reports are undergoing review for validation purposes. Also, the metallurgical tests, recently conducted on the ore, showed high recoveries and low reagent consumption (see press release of February 16, 2011).
(i)Samples were analysed by the ALS Mali sarl laboratory group following the FA / AA (fire assay / atomic absorption) method.
The technical content of this release as well as the results which are set out have been checked by Jacques Marchand, P.Eng. P.Geo, geological engineer and an independent qualified individual.
