PRESENTATION DISCLAIMER
  • 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
    Mine will be completed as forecast or that the
    exploration program on the Kalana Permit will
    identify minerals resources.
  • The TSX has neither approved nor disapproved the

Emerging 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

4
Growth 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.

Mali - 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

6
Permit
  • 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

Mine Operation
  • Shallow underground mine (100m to 300m depth)
  • High Grade quartz veins (1.4m width)
  • Conventional mining with handheld drills, winches
    and 3t locomotives
  • Grid electric power on site
  • Gravity plant budget 79 to 84 gold recovery
  • Production 2004 - 7,396 ozs 2005 -14,900 ozs
  • 2006 estimate 18,900 ozs
  • Focus on shaft deepening and mine development

Mine Operation
  • Mine currently planned to produce over 26,000oz
    p.a. from 2008 to 2014
  • Operating costs expected to drop US275/oz by
    2008
  • Head grade expected to average 17.3 g/t with mill
    recovery (gravity only) of 79 to 84
  • Mine grades are generally exceeding reserves
    forecast. Block Factor 170 in 2005
  • Priority - open up new areas and deepen shafts

Mine Development Schedule
  • Deepen 2 Shaft to 190 level- Sept 2006
  • Develop 150 level North to vein 18- Oct 2006
  • Develop 180 level South to vein 18/18a- June 2007
  • Develop 180 level North to vein 18/19- December
    2007
  • Deepen 1 Shaft to 300 level- December 2008
  • Develop 220 level South to vein 18/18a- September

Higher 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

Mine 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

19
Permit 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)

20
Exploration 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

Djirila 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

    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
