ABOUT ROXMARK

Roxmark is a gold exploration and development company operating in the
historically significant Geraldton-Beardmore area. In addition to the Hardrock
Project in the Geraldton Camp, Roxmark is pursuing a number of initiatives in
the Beardmore Camp, including re-opening the Northern Empire Mine and its onsite
mill and expanding the resource base at the Leitch-Sand River Mine, once
Canada's richest producing gold mine. In recent years, Roxmark has generated
cash flow from bulk-sampled gold and molybdenum processed at its fully-permitted
mill and has the advantage of infrastructure from nine formerly highly
productive gold mines located on its properties. These mines previously produced
nearly four million ounces of gold from high-grade ore but were closed primarily
due to boundary issues and dramatically lower gold prices at the time.
