OBI GOLD PROJECT 1 = Highlights * Unique opening to invest in an Indonesian gold mining project in Obi Island, Halmahera, Indonesia * In 2011, the Indonesian Goverment declared moratorium (no issuing of new UP or mining license policy) until an uncertain peroid of time. This project is a golden opportunity to own equity of an Indonesian mine tenement (IUP). « Production and operation license IUP (Izin Usaha Pertambangan Operasi Produksi) valid for a 20 years per period (extendable up to 3 periods) to be issued after completion of exploration work, mining design, and AMDAL approval. * 7,712 ha of mineable tenement, and it is the largest Galena mining lease in Indonesia. « Newcrest's Gosowong project on the main island of Halmahera is approx. 235km due north of Obi Gold Project, curently producing 463,0000z Au & 284,0000z Ag annualy, at acash cost of A$329/oz (Newerest 2011 Annual Report), with other AS1bn invested Along the same mineral arch as Newmont’s Batu Hijau gold/copper mine (approx. 860km SW of Obi), and Freeport’s Grasberg gold mine that is so far the largest gold mine in the world (approx. 830km E of Obi) NILAM Group Companies TEU aac ey LY Pas Ce ULL PTTL TT (L..> 0BIGOLD PROJECT Peed ruc feaev(} Ceeeec aris Lee eee ee ee ee Mine Tenement (IUP) Summary Company : PT.

Mineralisation is an extensive epithermal vein/breccia system, running NNW-SSE across the tenement, only 23% of the strike explored (approx. 2,8km) with multiply porphyry gold-copper target areas, Historical Sampling and Drilling Results ® Tenement was previously held by BHP in the 90s, high grade gold intercepts included 26.258/t, 27.208/t, up to 64.00g/t (10 diamonds drill holes). © Geological finding by Indonesia ministry of energy and natural resources (2007) confirmed that mineralized ored showed very high gold content, up to 1.804g/t, 185g/t, and 79g/t. * Sampling conducted in 2009 revealed average Au content of 11.93g/t up to 38.72g/t respectively, and the latest sampling in 2011 resulted Au content of 28.73g/t. * PT. EKA’s diamond drilling in 2011 yielded high grade Au & Ag content of up to 14.45g/t and 34.8g/t respectively, « Artisanal miners have successfully mined gold withing the tenement for the past 14 years, several tunnels have been excavated along the strike. Tunnels located about 60-130m above sea level with depths ranging from 20-50m. Gold/quartz vein can be found within 5m from the tunnel mouth, galena from 10m, along 2.8km of surveyed area. © Existing tailings pond contain 4-8g/t unrecovered Au, with Ag, Pb and Cu discarded. Artisanal miners are producing 25-30kg of Au per month at 70% purity. * Multiple large quartz veins have been documented by the indonesia Directorate General of Energy and Mineral Resources (disseminated gold). Tenement located on the north shore of Obi Island, near Anggai village. * 2.8km length, with 2km width, of the proposed 12 km mineralized trend has been explored. Au has been mined along the strike corridor by local villagers, proving the abundance of gold resources in the area. Mine Tenement (PT.
