district, host to Ventana Gold Corp.'s (recently acquired by Eike Batista's EBX
Group) 3.5 million ounce (Inferred) La Bodega gold discovery, and Greystar
Resources Ltd.'s 8.9 million ounce (M&I) Angostura gold deposit. The balance of
properties are located in the departments of Tolima and Quindio in three
distinct blocks near the La Colosa project, a 12.9 million ounce (Inferred) gold
deposit discovered by AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. La Colosa is the largest gold
discoveries in South America in recent years.

Key Projects:

Surata Gold Project - Santander



--  Interests in approximately 20,000 hectares located approximately 10 - 25
    kilometers from the multi-million ounce La Bodega and Angostura gold-
    silver projects. 

--  Gold has been discovered in an area 10 kilometers northwest of La Bodega
    along a parallel NE trending fault structure. 

--  Initial samples include sulphide bearing (pyritic) quartz veins with
    assays up to 3.06 g/t gold. These samples possess a fairly unique
    geochemical signature with a strong epithermal association including
    elevated arsenic, antimony, bismuth and copper. 

--  The Surata property has bedrock geology similar to that which hosts
    mineralization in the adjacent California-Vetas district. 



Arboledas Gold Project - Norte de Santander



--  Interests in approximately 14,000 hectares located approximately 18
    kilometers north of the La Bodega and Angostura deposits. 

--  Gold has been identified in areas exposed by landslides and active
    artisanal mining. 

--  Small-scale artisanal miners are working north-east striking, oxidized,
    subvertical veins hosted in feldspar porphyry. Workings consist of 8
    adits which are targeting oxidized quartz veins and clay structures up
    to 1 m wide. 



La Colosa Gold Projects - Tolima and Quindio



--  Interests in approximately 30,000 hectares in three separate areas 12 -
    25 kilometres east, west and south of AngloGold's La Colosa gold
    project. 

--  Properties cover highly prospective gold areas and/or mine sites
    identified by INGEOMINAS, the Colombian Institute of Geology and Mining.

--  With inferred resources of 12.9 million ounces, La Colosa is the largest
    gold project in Colombia. In 2011, AngloGold reportedly plans to invest
    over US$100 million in Colombia, with most of this investment budgeted
    for development of La Colosa.
