The Company's 70-percent interest in the Sangihe -mineral-tenement contract of work ( "CoW") is held in PT.

Tambang Mas Sangihe (“TMS”). The remaining 30 -percent interest in TMS is held by three Indonesian

corporations. The term of the Sangihe CoW agreement is for 30 years upon commencement of the production phase

of the project.

The Company intends to proceed to production without the benefit of first establishing mineral reserves supported

by a feasibility study. The Company cautions readers that any production decision made by the Company will not

be based on a NI 43 -101 feasibility study of mineral reserves that demonstrates economic and technical viability

and as such, there may be involved increased uncertainty and various technological and economic risks such as the

interpretation of drill results; the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; the possibility that future

exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with our expectations; comm odity and currency

price fluctuation; failure to obtain adequate financing; regulatory, recovery rates, refinery costs, and other relevant

conversion factors, permitting and licensing risks; general market and mining exploration risks and production and

economic risks related to design and engineering , manufacturing, technological processes and test procedures and

the ri sk that the project’s output will not be salable at a price that will cover the project’s operating and

maintenance costs.
