For personal use only The information is for shareholders and not intended to guide any investment decisions in The Gold Company (GGG). Some of the information is intended as a guide to the potential of the Kvanefjeld project but is not predictive. Consideration of the technical and financial factors requires skilled analysis and understanding of their context. The project is considered to be at an advanced exploration stage and will require regulatory approvals and securing of finance and there is no certainty that these will occur. Any potential investors should conduct their own research and consult their professional advisors before making any decisions about investing in GGG.
The changing world of Uranium For personal use only • Project offered to the company Early October 2006 • The company has taken a LONG TERM view on Uranium • Uranium prices have been moving steadily up. • Uranium (U 3 O 8 ) was approximately US$40 a pound early 2006 • Uranium (U 3 O 8 ) was approximately US$75 a pound early 2007 • Uranium (U 3 O 8 ) is now approximately US$100 a pound after having reached a high of US$133 in July 07 • The company perceives a shift in attitude worldwide by governments towards the exploitation and use of Uranium and is positioning the company ahead of this change
For personal use only Project Location
Title For personal use only • Currently the license does not include Uranium. • However; • Advice from The Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (BMP) in Greenland and Nuna Law (Greenland's leading law firm), both indicate exploration ( and mining) as a by-product of normal activities may be applied for. It is with this in mind that the company is utilising Uranium as a real time pathfinder to locating the Kvanefjeld orebody and to direct future exploration. • Laws in Greenland relating to Uranium exploration and exploitation are currently under review in regards to policy, these views are expected later this year.
Local facilities For personal use only Kvanefjeld ~8km by dirt road Deep water port The town of Narsaq has a skilled population of approx 3500.
Kvanefjeld Orebody For personal use only Kvanefjeld
For personal use only Kvanefjeld Multi-element Project • Huge Upside (open to South, West & at depth). • Large Uranium Resource Identified. • Coincident additional occurrences of • Lithium • Beryllium • Zirconium • Rare Earth Elements (REE) • Sodium Fluoride (>5%) • Ex-Deputy Minister of Mines for Greenland Mr. Hank Schønwandt has joined the board as Executive Chairman. • Options to Acquire up to 100%.
Pathfinder benefits For personal use only • The company is using Uranium as a path finder to the orebody • Kvanefjeld comprises multi-element mineralisation high in concentrations of Niobium, Tantalum, Beryllium, Lithium, Sodium Fluoride as well as Uranium. • Uranium, due to its radioactive nature is readily detected regionally by airborne radiometric surveys and at a finer scale (hand specimen or drill core) by using a Scintillometer. • Thus provides rapid & effective way of defining Kvanefjeld ore body.
2007 Field Season For personal use only • Detailed radiometric survey completed over Kvanefjeld. • Up to 11,000m of drilling budgeted for 07 season. • Completed 8,000m of diamond drilling to date. 2 diamond drill rigs on site. 3 rd requested for 2008. • • Helicopter supported. • Drill camp for 30 people. • Single largest exploration program ever to have occurred in Greenland. • Spectral re-assay of old holes to confirm resource. Company applied to Danish Gov. agency to take possession of the 11,000m of historical core. Expected during Sept 2007 • Up to 22,000m of results expected from this season for resource modeling purposes
For personal use only 1957–1983 Danish Atomic Energy Agency + Danish Geological Survey completed 11,000m of diamond drilling defining insitu resource of 126mt @ 400ppm U 3 O 8 . Resource verified by Nuclear Energy Agency OECD (2006 Red Book) 43,000 tonnes U metal = 50,700 tonnes U 3 O 8 = >112,000,000lb U 3 O 8 Uranium only In Ground Value of >US$11 billion @ US$100/lb
For personal use only Less than 10% of the mineralised complex has been drill tested. Ultra detailed radiometric survey completed highlighting further targets
For personal use only The company has the rights for all minerals on 2005/28 (northern License) and Uranium, REO’s, lithium, Beryllium + sodium fluoride on 2005/29 (southern license).

Local geology and historical drill hole locations For personal use only More than 70 historical diamond holes have been drilled into the Kvanefjeld project since 1959. 11,000m budgeted (~50 holes) from 2 drill rigs expected for this season. (8,000m currently) Up to 22,000m of results anticipated to be collected this field season
For personal use only Historical drill locations. These holes and a 1km adit through the central system formed the basis for historical 50,700t U 3 O 8 resource. 20,000t was mined from the adit 4500t was taken for metallurgical test work. Pilot plant constructed in Copenhagen.

Conclusions from work thus far; For personal use only • The results are inline with historical resource estimates. • Drilling intersected mineralisation at 300m depth; on average 100 metres deeper than previous resource modelling. • The orebody is still open at depth. • Drilling has extended mineralisation to the South and West. • The mine area and northern area proven to be contiguous; this area was not included in the historical resource. • Significant additional mineral assemblages identified supporting the company’s view that Kvanefjeld is one of the largest Rare Earth Oxide, Uranium and Fluorine deposits in the world.
