3. Investment Highlights
• Region with Excellent Potential: the Tapajos is the World’s third largest placer
gold province, estimated to have produced 20-30 Moz from streams between
1978 and 1995 from artisanal, garimpeiro-type miners
• Experienced Management: 150+ years of mining experience, track record for
discovery. Tocantinzinho deposit (2.5Moz), now owned by Eldorado Gold. 3 grass
roots gold discoveries totaling 4.2Moz in 7 years.
• Projects: Advanced projects with significant upside:
• Cuiu Cuiu – 1.3Moz gold resource (100,000oz indic. + 1.2Moz inf.)
• Coringa – 370,000oz gold resource (270,000oz indic. + 100,000oz inf.)
• Key Stakeholders: Newmont Mining owns 2.5%; Kinross owns 1%
• Strong Cash Position: $7M in treasury

* Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Please note that all figures have been rounded to reflect their
appropriate level of accuracy.
* These resources are constrained by mineable shapes and cut-off grades to meet the requirement that resources must have reasonable prospects for economic
extraction. The mineable shapes are either Lerch-Grossman pits or conceptual underground stopes. Resources falling within the pits are reported at cut-off grades
12 of 0.3 gpt Au for fresh rock or 0.4 gpt Au for saprolite. Stope shapes only include blocks above a cut-off grade of 1.3 gpt Au. The cut-off grades consider a gold
price of $1,250 per ounce and metallurgical recoveries of 91% for fresh rock and 66% for saprolite.
