- Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements
- Statements regarding the corporations plans
with respect to the Kalana Mine and exploration
of the Kalana Permit are forward-looking
statements. There can be no assurance that the
planned ongoing development of the Kalana Gold

3Emerging Gold Producer
- Canadian Main Board listed mining company
operating in Mali - Current production of 19,000oz p.a. rising to
27,000oz p.a. _at_275/oz cash cost - Currently defined resources of 1.0M oz, including
428,000ozs PP Reserves - Exploration success on 387 sq.km Permit close to
mine - Highly experienced management team
4Growth Strategy
- Increase annual production at existing Kalana
underground mine to 30,000ozs at 275/oz by 2008.
Potential to increase to 50,000 ozs per annum by
2010 - Explore Permit and identify potential new ore
resources, such as the Djirila discovery - Convert Kalana open pit resources (3M tonnes
containing 449,000 ozs) into reserves - Construct new gold plant to process Kalana ore
and new satellite ore resources- target 150,000
to 200,000 ozs per annum.
5Mali - Overview
- Stable democracy
- Established mining code
- Several world class mines resulting from
discoveries Sadiola, Loulo, Syama, Morila etc. - Good infrastructure particularly at Avnels
Kalana Mine site
6Permit
- Avnel owns 80 interest in Kalana Permit (mine
exploration) in Mali (20 Mali Government) - Unique 30 year mining permit for both Kalana Gold
Mine and surrounding 387 km2 concession area - No loss of property over permit duration - 30
years to explore and develop - can be extended - US2.5 million acquisition cost for mine and
concession in 2003

16Higher Gold Grade Trend
- Grade increasing as mining dilution reduces and
higher in situ gold values than reserves estimate - 2004 10.6g/t
- 2005 17.2g/t
- 2006 25.0g/t (quarter 1)
- Ore Reserve Reconciliation (vein 1)
- 2005 actual grade 19.15g/t vs 14.4g/t reserve
grade - Block factor Au content 170 (70 more gold)
- Block factor tonnes 130 (30 more tonnes)
- 1985-2001Block factor Au content 130

18Mine Exploration and Development
- Underground drill program to increase data
density (and possibly grade) for ore reserve
blocks between 180 and 260 levels- scheduled
2008/2009 - Infill underground drilling programme to convert
inferred resources into indicated resources-
scheduled for 2009/2010 - Assess optimum expansion potential of the
underground mine - Infill drill the surface deposits ( Indicated
Inferred Resources 468,000ozs) and establish open
pit designs- schedule 2008 - Investigate suitable mill size given potential
ore supply from surrounding area
19Permit Exploration Strategy
- To find proximal resources to existing Kalana
Mine - and within the Permit- establish a Gold
Camp - Soil geochemistry is most effective first stage
exploration tool - To drill priority targets (9 gold anomaly targets
identified on the 40 of the Permit area sampled) -
20Exploration Results - Phases 1 2April to
December 2004
- 10 priority grids sampled
- Geochemical sampling results show significant
Au-in-soil anomalies on 9 grids - Au-As anomalies show good correlation
- Significant structures identified with 1km
strike length and 200m width on 9 grids

27Djirila Main Zone
- Djirila Main has been identified by RC and DDH
programs. It is a fault controlled,
quartz-vein-stockwork zone characterised by high
grade mineralisation between surface and 100m - Zone is 225m long on a NNE strike and artisinal
workings extend 150m beyond this zone - Vertical to steep easterly dip
- 3m to 50m width
- Open at depth and along strike
28W-E Section Djirila Main
29 Phase 4 February- July 2006
- RC drill program to build a resource base and
test the continuity of Djirila Main Zone - RC Drill gold anomaly targets on Grid 7, one of
the 8 other gold anomaly targets on the permit - 54 RC holes (5100m) are proposed
- Current drilling budget US388,000
- Extensive soil sampling programme over at least 3
areas budget US150,000
