About the Lamaque Property
Kalahari has 100% ownership of the 3,074 acre Lamaque property, located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, one km north of the "Cadillac Break" and immediately south of the Lamaque and Sigma mines. The Sigma mine produced approximately 4.4 million ounces of gold and the Lamaque mine produced approximately 4.5 million ounces of gold over its lifetime primarily from the 'Main' plug, a geological feature similar to the No. 4 Plug located on the Lamaque property. The No. 4 Plug and another zone known as the No 10 Vein collectively have an inferred mineral resource of 1,365,000 tons grading 0.186 opt gold (cut) or 0.275 opt gold (uncut) as audited and reclassified by Watts, Griffis & McOuat's NI 43-101 Technical Report, dated September 2004 (see Sedar October 20, 2004 for details of report). Since the Company first acquired rights to the Lamaque property in 2003 over $5 million has been spent on exploration expenditures.
