COMPANY OVERVIEW
DISCOVERING BY PRODUCING…
Komet’s philosophy, Discovering by producing, represents our plans to use cash flow from the small-scale mining operation to fund future exploration of the project. 2015 – Reconstruction of the Guiro Mine November 2015 – Relaunch of the gravimetric mill May 2016 – Production of about 4 kilos per month (break even at 4 kilos) End of summer 2016 – Ramp up to 10 kilos per month 2017 – Production of 30 kilos per month
Profits used to fund exploration of the property with healthy blue sky potential.

ü Nov 2016 – Geochemistry - 2700 soil samples (1m deep) in a mesh of 100 x
100m, there is a supply of 1300 samples to shrink the mesh for anomaly zones.
ü Feb 2017 – Geophysics – Airborne survey of 5200 km of lines spaced at 150m
in electromagnetic (VTEM, time domain) and magnetic (including a horizontal mag gradient).
q Mar 2017 – Core drilling - 2000m of drilling in the mine at level 3 and 4 to
specify the mineralized zones of the non-mined extensions East, West and Level 5.
q Mar 2017 – Drilling campaign on new targets based on airborne survey results.

Dabia South
Dabia South (formerly knowned as Moussala) is located in the southern half of the Senegalo- Malian deformation zone, which is comprised of numerous world class gold deposits.
- Tabakoto mine in 2010
- Gounkoto mines, part of RandGold’s Loulo-
Gounkoto mining complex (2011-2012)
- Hummingbird’s Yanfolila mine is forecasted
to commence production in early 2017 Results from previous exploration shows a lot of potential with the property covering 35 km2.
Next Step: Drilling campaign to define resource 50% completed as of Feb 2017 (41 holes total)
KOMET SUMMARY
19
Ø Profitable gold explorer and small scale producer
Ø Guiro mine produced 23.5 kilos in Q3 2016 and 26.6 kilos in Q4. Ø Ramping up production to 12,700 oz per year when at 30 kilos/month
($11.5M CAD estimated profit per year at a gold price of about $1,600 CAD)
Ø Comfortable cash position to ramp up production and advance
exploration (no further dilution expected)
Ø Portfolio of exploration assets for further growth in proven
geographies where majors are successfully producing
Ø Experienced team with proven track record (Osisko Mining sold to
Yamana Gold and Agnico Eagle for $3.9B CAD in 2014)
