process option which showed an overall recovery of 86%. The PEA indicates that additional sulphide resources need to be identified before proceeding with further studies. 1.5 Mineral Resources The mineral resource estimates have been determined and reported in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards – For Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM council on November 27, 2010 as referred to in National Instrument (NI) 43-101. Table 1.1 presents the Nzema Mineral Resource Estimate by deposit and Table 1.2 provides the Mineral Resources by material type (oxide, upper transition, lower transition, fresh). The estimates are reported at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off grade and constrained by a US$1,600/oz pit shell (effective date December 31, 2012 prepared by N. Johnson). Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources will be converted into Mineral Reserves. 16

The Mineral Resources are defined within an optimal pit shell generated using an overall pit slope of 38 degrees, a commodity price of US$1,600/oz Au, average process recovery of 86%, a process cost of US$26.43/t and royalties, refinery and selling cost of US$80/oz of Au sold (5% of sell price). 2. Tonnages are rounded to the nearest 1,000 tonnes; gold grades are rounded to one decimal place and ounces are rounded to the nearest 1,000 ounces. Rounding may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal. 3. Tonnes and grade measurements are in metric units; contained gold is in troy ounces. 17
