It is committed to identifying, focusing on and advancing gold and base‐metal projects in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. The Company holds two exploration concessions in Egypt: Abu Marawat and Fatiri, which cover areas of 1,027 km2 and 1,745 km2, respectively. The Company is focused on exploration within the Abu Marawat Concession, which contains its two main properties, the Hamama volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) deposit and the Abu Marawat mesothermal vein deposit, with an NI 43‐101‐compliant inferred gold‐copper‐ rich resource.
The Hamama VMS deposit is located in the Arabian‐Nubian Shield, which is known for the quality of its VMS deposits.

The Company holds a highly prospective land package with an established history of mining dating back to the Pharaonic era, with three historical gold mines and four major prospects. The land package is enhanced by excellent and nearby infrastructure, which includes access to highway and railway, a high‐capacity electricity grid, and nearby major cities: Qena, on the Nile River, and Port of Safaga, on the Red Sea.
