*West African average cut-off is 0.4g/t which represents +1.3M ounces Gold
True Gold’s Karma Project Feasibility Study used 0.2g/t Au cut-off for oxide gold mineralized, 0.22 g/t Au cut-off for transitional goldmineralization and 0.5 g/t Au for sulphide mineralization1.CIM definition standards were followed for the resource estimate.2.The 2014 resource models used ordinary kriging (OK) grade estimation within a three-dimensional block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids. 3. A base cut-off grade of 0.7 g/t Au was used for reporting resources with a capping of gold grades at 18 g/t.4. A US$1,300/ounce gold price, open pit with heap leach operation was used to determine the cut-off grade.5. A density of 2.45 g/cm3 was applied.6. Numbers may not add exactly due to rounding.7. Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have economic viability 10
The May 2014 Resource Estimate was prepared by independent qualified person Todd McCracken, P. Geo. of WSP Canada Inc. (“WSP”) a technical report will be completed within 45 days
The 2014 Mineral Resource estimate was based on 52,385 metres of diamond and RC drilling in 646 holes as well as data from 13,799 metres in 102 surface trenches. The drilling is generally spaced at 25 to 50 metre intervals.

• Similar to Gold Zones on the EnchiGold Project including known zones Boin and Nyam
• Lower grade at surface on both Chirano and Boin, Enchi Gold Project
• Boin/Nyam Gold Zones previous drilling depth of approximately 75-100 metres

Chirano\Enchi Project Comparisons
• Regional airborne study (VTEM and
Mag) flown over the entire Enchi
project (568 square km)
• Interpretation completed by Condor
Geophysics in Denver, Colorado
• Several structures appear to correlate
to known mineralization, while many
other similar structure patterns
remain untested
• Interpretation work has identified
several additional drill targets
