WESTMAG- ANGLOGOLD-ASHANTI JV-AGREEMENT
  • Exclusive right to AGA Peruvian data base granted
    December 2004.
  • Initial review of database completed December
    2004 through April 2005.
  • Covers all targets in AGA Area of interest (AOI)
  • AGA staked properties require individual earn in
    agreements of 1000 metres for 60.
  • Westmag staked properties held 100 by Westmag.
  • AGA have claw back for all properties to 70
    for any resource greater than 2 million oz gold
    equivalent at 2.5 times Westmag expenditure.
  • Westmag have pre-emptive rights to AGA farm outs
    within AOI

THE AREA OF INTEREST
Excluded
130,000km2 combined aerial extent of blocked-out
project area covering
  • Gold-belts of the Yanacocha region, the
    Cordillera Negra, the Southern Central Cordillera
    and the Mesozoic Coastal Belt
  • The southern Peru, Eastern Cordillera and Central
    Cordillera copper belts
  • The region of Eastern Cordillera copper-gold
    porphyry-alkaline potential
  • The Cordillera Blanca and Central Cordillera
    polymetallic skarn belt

Excluded

THE AREA OF INTEREST AND AGA ACTIVITIES
  • Following 5-years of data accumulation and
    campaign-style exploration AGA decided to bolster
    and apply their database and experience to a Peru
    wide generative program
  • This resulted in the AOI which was generated
    during an intensive 3 week in-house exercise
    conducted by AGA staff and specialist consultants
    in 2003
  • Processed with TM-data
  • Limited field follow-up with target criteria 5MOz
    gold only
  • Several properties claimed

7
THE DATABASE
Developed over 5-years of exploration activity,
used in the first pass AGA generative programme
and comprising
  • AGA rock geochemistry 10,000 samples
  • AGA drainage geochemistry 5000 samples
  • Digital geologic maps
  • Deposit location data 5600 records
  • Complete 3-band TM coverage
  • 130,000km2 of specialist CROSTA alteration
    mapping
  • Occasional ASTER data
  • Regional gravity data
  • Country-scale structural interpretations (IDW
    grid, basin margins etc)
  • Tectonic and arc-magmatic reconstructions
    (geochronology)
  • SRTM 90m elevation model
  • Digital tenement information
  • Generated target areas

8
WESTMAG EXPLORATION APPLICATION TO DATE
Defined priority target criteria Porphyry and
Alkaline copper-gold 6 known resources 4 of
which contain over 2Moz Au LS and mesothermal
vein gold 3 mines in production
  • Undertook a generative program resulting in the
    identification of 92 discrete and ranked target
    areas
  • Secured 17 new tenement areas over Cu and Au
    targets
  • Identified at-least two regional plays with
    anomalous Cu-Au in unclaimed areas
  • Implemented program of reconnaissance field review

In mountain belt behind the Cajamarca gold camp
and deemed to host potential for
porphyry/alkaline copper-gold deposits under
field review

ARTURO Cu-Au PROSPECT
Recent slip exposing alteration
Strongly silicified and pyritic sediment
Low-order gold drainage in mixed source sample
(-200)

EXAMPLE PUMACAHUA PORPHYRY-SKARN
Very strong Crosta response in polymetallic
mining district 30km north of Toromocho (2.4Mt Cu
in-situ resource) -Morococha camp, Grades from
one small mine in the claim area are reportedly

WORK PROGRAMME 2005-2006
  • Field follow-up of generated targets
  • Drilling of lithocaps and newly generated
    prospects
  • Advance other defined prospects with follow-up
    mapping, geochemistry and geophysics
  • Advance structural and spectral interpretation of
    Cu-Au belts (Eastern Cordillera)
  • Implement specialist statistical analysis of
    multi-element geochemistry
  • Known occurrence review, opportunities synthesis
    and acquistion
