Information Concerning the Minahasa Group

The Minahasa Group in turn jointly holds 100% interest in seven (7) exploration permits in the Minahasa region of Northern Sulawesi, Indonesia. El Shadai and Forel each hold 2 of the permits, with the final 3 permits held by Anak.

The Minahasa Group are related companies the shareholders of which are: Soebali Sudjie, Setiawan Sudjie, Tjiebeng Sukajali, Vigielia Oral Christany Lumoindong, and PT. Multi Mining Utama (MMU) a private Indonesian mining company. All of the individual vendors are resident in Indonesia. The Minahasa Group holds an unencumbered 100% interest in the Minahasa Gold Project.

Information Concerning the Minahasa Gold Project

The Minahasa Gold Project consists of seven exploration permits covering 13,641 hectares, located in the Minahasa Regency of northern Sulawesi island, Indonesia, approximately 65 km south south-west of the regional city of Manado and 2,400 km northeast of Jakarta. The general area is accessible by road with the permit areas variously accessible by 4 wheel drive, and walking tracts. Most of the permits were previously held by a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation.

The geology of the Minahasa Gold project area consists of Miocene volcanic and marine sediments and Pliocene to recent volcanic. The project area displays vein, vein stockwork and contact-replacement style of low sulfidation epithermal gold-silver-arsenic mineralisation, consistent with development distal to a porphyry source.

Mineralised quartz veins hosted in argillised volcanic rock and silicified limestone were first discovered in the area in 1987 by Newmont during a first pass reconnaissance program.

The Minahasa Group has undertaken preliminary reconnaissance of the northern part of their holdings. This has involved mapping and geochemical sampling.

Gold has been mined in the broader region and artisan mining still occurs within the exploration area.

A National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report has been completed on the Minahasa Gold project, which recommends additional exploration work and a 2nd phase drill program be completed. The report will be filed on the SEDAR system in due course.

Selected Minahasa Group Financial Information

As of September 30, 2012, the Minahasa Group collectively had approximately US$ 770 (approx. CDN$754) in cash and commitments of approximately US $281,000 (approx CDN$278,000) (unaudited).

Management and Board of Directors of Resulting Issuer

Three members of the board of directors and management of the Resulting Issuer will be nominated by the Minahasa Group, with two members of the Company's board remaining. The members of the Board of the Resulting Issuer will be determined and announced as the Transaction progresses.
