The Moule Gold Permit covers 249 square kilometres of prospective Birimian greenstone geology. Previous explorers conducted property wide mapping and sampling of quartz veining and quartz float and subsequently focused their efforts on a 7 kilometre by 6 kilometre area, the Zelingpe Grid, with a geochemical soil grid, detailed mapping, and local IP survey resulting in the identification of multiple gold anomalies.

Sampling on the permit has encountered mineralization as high as 38.6 g/t Au to date. Company management believes the Moule permit has the potential to host both a large near-surface, bulk tonnage gold deposit and a shear-hosted vein deposit. There are currently four target areas: Zelingpe 1, Zelingpe 2, Vein 2 and Vein 3. The first ever drill program was completed in February 2011, testing the Zelingpe 1, Zelingpe 2 and Vein 3 targets.

The Vein 3 target lies approximately 4.7 kilometres to the west of Zelingpe 1. It is a shear-hosted vein zone that has been traced in excess of 1500 metres by widely spaced soil geochemical lines. 500 artisanal miners are currently working a 400 metre long portion of this vein. Grab sampling from the tailings of the artisanal activity has returned a high of 16.5 gpt Au, with 21 of the 42 samples taking returning values in excess of 1 gpt Au.

Moule Vein 3 Plan

Three drill transects were completed at Vein 3 spaced 120 metres apart. Transects consisted of 2 holes scissoring the vein. Gold mineralization was intersected in four of the 6 holes, including both holes on section 10 and on section 11. Vein 3 is traceable by this drilling for over 200 metres and is open in both directions. The drill sections and plan suggest the two holes on section 12 were collared too far east, missing the target. Highlights from Vein 3 drilling include: 29.67 gpt Au over 7 metres and 10.86 gpt Au over 3 metres. The widths and grades reported are drill intercept widths and may not represent the true width of mineralization.

The 1.0 kilometre long by 120 metre wide Zelingpe 1 anomaly is covered by a resistant laterite plateau. The IP Survey penetrated the hardcap plateau and identified a strong coincident IP chargeability high and resistivity low, a geophysical signature suggestive of disseminated sulfide and quartz veins. The edges of the laterite plateau have eroded near the fringes of the anomaly, casting anomalous gold values into soils to the east, west and south. An area of eluvial workings and artisanal pits is located immediately west and on the southwest fringe of the Zelingpe 1 anomaly. There are also soil values to the east and south of the plateau edge with anomalous values to 1,865 ppb Au.

Three drill transects were completed at Zelingpe 1 spaced 200 metres apart. Each transect consisted of three holes. A new mineralized gold system was identified at Zelingpe 1, traceable for 500 metres and open in both directions. Drill intercept highlights include: 1.12 gpt Au over 28 metres; 0.47 gpt Au over 11 metres; 0.24 gpt Au over 30 metres; 0.24 gpt Au over 32 metres; 0.20 gpt Au over 35 metres and 4.53 gpt Au over 5 metres.

 The Zelingpe 2 anomaly lies approximately 500 metres southeast of the Zelingpe 1 anomaly and consists of two parallel northeast-trending quartz vein swarms 500 metres apart, both with associated strong coincident IP chargeability high and resistivity low geophysical signatures. Each trend is traceable for 1.4 kilometres by elevated gold values in soils, rock sampling and geophysical anomalies.  Recent artisanal workings have appeared on one trend.  A 1.1 kilometre by 700 metre grid over the Zelingpe 2 target showed significant multiple anomalous gold trends that range from 25 metre to 150 metres wide. Sixty-eight grab samples within the trends returned values between 1 gram/tonne (g/t) gold and 38.6 g/t gold.

Six drill transects were completed at Zelingpe 2 spaced 100 to 150 metres apart. Transects consisted of 4 to 6 holes. Plus one gram intersections over at least one metre were reported in 15 of the 27 holes, with highlights including: 1.82 gpt Au over 5 metres; 4.60 gpt Au over 3 metres; 2.06 gpt Au over 3 metres and 3.57 gpt Au over 2 metres.

The Company completed an airborne radiometric and magnetic survey in mid-February. These results are pending. The Company completed a 2000 metre by 500 metre soil survey over Vein 3 and a 1000 metre by 460 metre soil survey over Vein 2. These results are pending. The Company completed a 300 metre trench to the west of the Zelingpe 1 target at the base of the laterite plateau testing soil geochemistry for parallel structures. Results are pending.

The Company plans to initiate a surface trenching program at Vein 3 to test the structure along strike. The Company plans to commence follow up drilling on Vein 3 and Zelingpe 1 and in initial drilling on Vein 2 in early June.
