Mt. Todd, Australia - In 2006, we acquired 100% of the Mr. Todd gold project in Northern Territory for $2.1 million which equated to $0.46 per ounce. Since acquisition, we have increased gold reserves at Mt. Todd’s Batman deposit by 192% to the current resource base of 5.1 million ounces. In mid 2009, we completed a preliminary economic assessment for the Batman deposit at Mt. Todd which indicated favorable estimated economics from annual production of approximately 245,500 ounces of gold over a 15-year mine life. Based on these results, we initiated a preliminary feasibility study for Mt. Todd which we expect to complete by the third quarter of 2010. In conjunction with the pre-feasibility study, we recently completed a 9,760 meter drilling program which consisted of a total of 17 core and six reverse circulation drill holes at the Batman deposit designed to test areas of the Batman deposit for potential resources expansion, to convert inferred resources to measured and indicated resources and to obtain samples for further metallurgical testing. The Mt. Todd gold project also has significant existing infrastructure including paved access to the major transportation corridor,

natural gas pipeline to site and medium tension power lines for power generation, fresh water reservoir and water treatment plant, readily available labor and technical personnel. The Northern Territory government is supportive on mining and there are no Aboriginal rights issues associated with the project.
The Mt. Todd gold project also has significant exploration and district expansion potential across the project’s more than 1,000 Km2 of exploration licenses.
