Investing in Our Future
- System atically created a pan-African
greenfield exploration footprint
- Exploration pipeline with over 60 targets
- 15 rigs drilling greenfields projects across the
portfolio
135,000 metres drilled in 2016 190,000 metres budgeted for 2017
- Increasing 20 17 spend by 15% to US$25m
- Key projects for 20 17:
West Kenya Houndé Belt North Mara (Gokona UG & Nyabirama UG)
We continue to be contrarian in our view on exploration and our approach is beginning to deliver results

series of corridors across land package
- Identified high grade shoots in
Liranda Corridor in 20 15
Delineated high grade Acacia &
Bushiangala shoots

All of the resource is located on the Acacia prospect (on of 5 prospects on the
Liranda Corridor) which remains open laterally and at depth
