Notes
Goldplat plc is an AIM-listed gold producer with operations in Africa. Â Its
strategy is to consolidate its position as a gold producer in Africa and build
itself into a highly profitable mid-tier gold company, leveraged through revenue
generated from its gold recovery businesses.
The Company has two recovery businesses based in South Africa and Ghana, which,
by safely disposing mining by-products, fulfil an important aspect of the mines'
environmental management programmes. Â The South African plant is located near
the centre of the East Rand Goldfield and raw material feedstocks are sourced
from many of the major South African mining companies, including AngloGold
Ashanti, Goldfields, Harmony, DRD Gold and other smaller producers. Â The Ghana
plant, located in the free port of Tema, provides access to raw materials from
mines in Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Benin, Cote D'Ivorie, Senegal, the DRC and
Mauritania, as well as Ghana.
Goldplat's strategy is to build itself into a highly profitable mid-tier gold
producer, through the acquisition of known deposits with targets of between
200,000 and one million contained ounces. Â Kilimapesa Gold is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Goldplat and is developing the potential of the 213 sq km
Lolgorien licence area located in the historically producing Migori Archaean
Greenstone Belt in western Kenya. Â Kilimapesa Gold commenced initial production
in January 2009 and an aggressive exploration and development programme has
resulted in a maiden JORC compliant resource being reported in October 2009.
In December 2009 Goldplat plc entered into an agreement with Sanu Exploration
(BVI) Limited ('Sanu'), a wholly owned subsidiary of NGEX Resources Inc, to
acquire Sanu's option over the 246 sq km Nyieme Gold Project ('Nyieme') located
in Burkina Faso.  The Nyieme exploration licence includes known high-grade
quartz vein structures, with drill core results showing up to 17.83 g/t gold
over one metre and 11.67 g/t over five metres.
Additionally, the Company has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with Gulf
Coast Resources Inc ('Gulf'), a Canadian mining company for the acquisition of
Gulf's wholly-owned subsidiary company, Gulf Coast Resources Limited ('GCR').
 GCR owns the Banka Mining Lease, a ten year renewable mining lease for gold and
associated minerals covering an area of 29 sq km located in the Amansie East and
Asante Akim South Districts of the Ashanti Region of the Republic of Ghana.
