  • Early stage similarities with PNG discoveries including; Porgera, Edie Creek, Wau and Mt Kare
  • The exploration target is a Porgera Zone 7 and Wafi/Gobu type deposit
  • Independent geologists believe source of course nuggets within the alluvial gravels likely to be local, based on the size and shape of the nuggets discovered
  • Three significant exploration targets determined; one gold/copper, one gold and one copper
  • Extensive data secured from historic sampling programs completed by Freeport
  • Data is a geochemical multi-element data set consisting of 2,486 samples (27,440 assays)
    - Significant panned concentrate assay of 6,864 g/t Au
    - Significant rock chips included 125 g/t Au, 19.1 g/t Au and 1.8% Cu
  • The planned exploration program will involve extensive mapping and sampling work as well as the mechanisation and ramp-up of alluvial gold mining operations.

West Rand, South Africa

  • Projects located on the West Rand, Johannesburg, South Africa
  • Emerald Gold Project
    - Open pit project down to 50m
    - 59,000 oz @ 1.7 g/t JORC Probable and Proven Reserve (calculated @ US$1,220/oz Au)
    - Expected production of 17-20,000 ozs pa for initial 3 year period
    - 74,000 oz Monarch Resource delineated 1km along strike to south is
      expected to supplement current 3 year life of mine
    - Current NPV of $25m based on toll treating agreement
  • West Wits currently has a further 426,800 @ 1.8 g/t in JORC near surface Inferred, Indicated and Measured Gold Resources
  • Historical production from leases
    - 61.4m ozs of Gold
    - 37m lbs of Uranium
  • West Wits currently assessing alternatives as to how best to commercialise existing SA projects.
