tagpura-maangob: copper and gold

The Tagpura-Maangob corridor is some 1500m long and 500m wide and has conceptual or order of magnitude tonnage and grade currently ranging between 1 billion and 1.7 billion tonnes, with potential economic grades ranging from 0.30 to 0.7% copper, and 0.17 to 0.31 g/t gold.

Towards the east lies the Tagpura porphyry copper gold deposit with a historic resource of 17.3m tonnes of copper at 0.68%, gold at 0.5 gpt and silver at 4.0 gpt; while to the West is the Maangob porphyry copper gold deposit, with a historic resource of 39.7m tonnes of copper at 0.36%, gold at 0.5 gpt and silver at 4.0 g/t.

tagpura porphyry skarn: copper and gold

The Tagpura porphyry skarn zone has indicated a "conceptual or order of magnitude" potential tonnage range of some 10 million tonnes to 15 million tonnes with a potential grade range between 0.50% copper and 0.20 g/t gold to 0.70% copper and 0.31 g/t gold. Read the August 5, 2008 news release for more information.

This photograph shows a 4m intersection, from 66m to 70m, of TGD 60 that returned 4.2% copper and 1.6 gpt gold.

early production potential

The Tagpura porphyry skarn is earmarked for early production potential through a possible "bacterial heap leach" with a projected 2MT a year operation.

kalamatan: copper and gold

Kalamatan has an indicated "conceptual or order of magnitude" potential tonnage range of some 100 million tonnes to 525 million tonnes with a potential grade range from 0.31% copper equivalent (0.27% copper and 0.11 g/t gold) to 0.72% copper equivalent (0.55% copper and 0.46 g/t gold).).

The first pass drilling also leaves the mineralized zone open along strike in both directions and at depth.

Kalamatan has a historic resource of 18.6m tonnes of copper at 0.39%, gold at 0.5 g/t and silver at 4.0 g/t

cadan: copper and gold

Cadan has a "conceptual or order of magnitude" tonnage 450 to 900 metric tons

batato-tarale: gold

Batoto-Tarale has 39 tonnes @ 1.8 gpt gold for some 2.1 million ounces of gold
(Historic Philippine Resource - not NI 43-101 compliant)

north comval: gold

The North Comval project exploration commenced with regional mapping and stream sediment panned concentrates, most of which showed free gold. The next phase of exploration in this area is to drill these anomalies.

t'boli: high grade gold and silver

T'boli has a National Instrument 43-101 Compliant Inferred Resource of 2,400,000 mt, grading 5.5 g/t gold and 21 g/t silver, for 420,000 contained ounces of gold and 1,600,000 ounces of silver.

t'boli: copper

A copper soil and coincident magnetic anomaly covers an area of 1,000m x 1000m located some 1.7km WNW of the defined gold-silver resource.
