Name and Location
Finkolo gold project, Mali.

Project Description
A positive feasibility study has been received for the Tabakoroni gold deposit located on the Finkolo exploration permit.

The feasibility study is based on proven reserves of one-million tons of ore with an average grade of 3,3 g/t, containing 109 000 oz; and probable reserves of 1,4-million tons of ore with an average grade of 2,9 g/t, containing 127 000 oz with a strip ratio of 9,5 to 1 and cash costs of $710/oz.

The study proposes openpit mining of three pits, using a contract mining fleet, with the ore to be trucked and processed through Resolute Mining's nearby, operating Syama gold mine.

The initial mining rate is 9,8-million tons a year, decreasing to 6,3-million tons a year in the final year of the mining operation.
