About Burkina Faso

The Lati, Kodyel, Loto, and Moule properties lie in the West African nation of
Burkina Faso. Much of West Africa is underlain by the Birimian Greenstone Belt,
one of the most prolific gold producing areas in the world. Many of the world's
major gold companies are active in West Africa, several with producing mines,
including: IAMGOLD Corporation, AngloGold Ashanti Limited, Randgold Resources
Limited, Gold Fields Limited and Newmont Mining Corporation. Burkina Faso is
politically and economically stable and relies on farming and mining as it
primary sources of revenue. Burkina Faso saw gold production double from 2008 to
2010 and is currently the 5th largest gold producing country in Africa.


On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

Paul Cowley, P.Geo., Interim CEO
