Gravel mined: 7920 m3 (10,359 cubic yards)
Raw gold produced: 2445 grams (2.445 kg) (78.6 troy oz.)
Raw gold grade: 309 mg/m3 (4.76 grains/cubic yard)
Raw gold value: US$ 15.40/m(3) ($11.77cubic yard at $1550/oz

About GoldSands Development Company
The Company's goal is to fully develop our Peruvian GoldSands
project. The Company's GoldSands project in Peru consists of
options on 461 square kilometers (178 square miles) of mining
property, the largest such block in the district. For thousands of
years, the waters of the Santiago and the Maranon rivers have been
carving their way through the gold-rich mountain canyons of the
Andes, carrying off gold and depositing it, as the river comes out
into the plain, in the loose gravels and sands - GoldSands - in the
area the Company now controls.
Results from test holes drilled during GSDC's exploratory drill
program indicated the presence of alluvial gold in economical
quantities. While the Company considers results from the drill
programs and recently completed test mining production to be
favorable, the Company cautions that these results do not indicate
the presence of a commercially viable mineral deposit over most of
the optioned area and an extensive amount of further exploration is
needed to determine the full feasibility of the project. The
Company can provide no assurance that its Peruvian GoldSands
project will contain an economically viable mineral deposit.
The Company also completed a social baseline study involving a
series of meetings with local residents and other stakeholders in
the region. We intend to work in an equitable, transparent, and
socially responsible manner with local communities, suppliers and
employees. We will act as stewards of the local and regional
ecological systems, behaving in an environmentally responsible way,
leaving a minimal "footprint" as a result of our operations. Our
company is working towards building trust and sustaining
relationships that go well beyond mining operations.
The full implementation of these programs will require the
Company to secure additional financing.
