In light of developments regarding COVID-19 Côte d’Ivoire has implemented internal control measures in

an attempt to contain and minimize transmission.

In the interest of safety and wellbeing of its employees and their respective families, the Company has

temporarily wound back planned drilling and field programs and has implemented new protocols and

operating procedures. The company is working with local staff to re -establish planned work programs in

a safe working environment. Furthermore , costs have been reduce d with cash contribution from all

salaried employees to assist in getting through this difficult unknown period. This loyalty is commendable

as these efforts help ensure the team remains fully employed, until a normalizing of conditions in the field

can be achieved.

On a positive note we have soil and auger geochemistry samples still to be received from both the Odienné

Empire gold discovery and Bondoukou targets. Refining drill and exploration targets from this data will

ensure the company rapidly gain s momentum for drilling and target refinement at Odienné and

Bondoukou as soon as conditions allow for us to get on the ground. In the interim our project sites remain

secure and are continually monitored.
