About African Eagle

Since discovering a major nickel oxide deposit at Dutwa in Tanzania, African
Eagle is in transition from an explorer into a nickel producer. The Company is
now working towards a pre-feasibility study at Dutwa which is scheduled for
completion by the end of Q3, 2011. In addition the Company is also evaluating a
second promising nickel oxide at Zanzui, which is located 60 km from Dutwa.

Aside from its nickel projects, the most valuable asset is the copper portfolio
in Zambia which the Company plans to IPO later this year.
