MANAGEMENT REVIEW


Following a difficult year at Palito in 2007, management's principal
focus for the year ahead is to put in place plans to deliver:
(i) reliable, sustainable and profitable production; and
(ii) establish a detailed understanding of and quantify the wider ore
potential in the Palito / Jardim do Ouro district.

This will be used to determine future expansion potential and support
longer-term planning.
As a basis for achieving the company's goals, we have recruited an
experienced local management team based in Brazil who will greatly
assist with the challenges of underground mining and related
management.  This team is already in place to provide a solid
foundation for the delivery of our plans.


Operations and Outlook

The principal operating goals for this year are:


  * To achieve sustainable, optimum economic production
  * Contain gross, real operating costs in local currency (BR$)
  * Achieve a unit operating cost per gold equivalent ounce of less
    than US$400 (based on US$ / Brazilian Real 1.75)
  * Improve reliability of results through improved planning,
    development of management systems and personnel training


Central to improving operating results at the Palito mine is the
introduction of mini-scoops, which will enable us to reduce mine
development widths and thus improve the grades delivered to the
plant.  The first two mini-scoops are expected to be operational by
the end of the first quarter, with another two scheduled for delivery
during the second quarter. Additional equipment being added to the
mining fleet includes new jumbos and mine trucks.

Meanwhile, considerable work has also been carried out to optimise
mining techniques at Palito in the future.  It has been concluded
that an adaptation of the long-hole stoping method, with reduced
stoping heights, will produce best results.  The combination of
revised long-holing and the use of mini-scoops for mine development
will bring greater selectivity and best grade success.  A robust mine
plan based on exploitation of seven lodes, compared with only three
last year indicates production for 2008 will rise to between 40,000
and 45,000 gold equivalent ounces.

In addition, there are a number of mining opportunities under review
at Palito not incorporated into the current 2008 plan.  These
opportunities could impact positively on the future production
outlook:


  * Production from new sulphide ore sources at Jatoba, Chico da
    Santa and Ruari's Ridge
  * Development of ancillary ore sources associated with main
    structures and / or encountered during development
  * Development of local oxide deposits e.g. Ruari's Ridge



Exploration

Various exploration and evaluation programmes that were initiated
during the second half of 2007 have been successful and the results
are promising; the most exciting results being the identification of
high-grade mineralisation at Palito West along with a new series of
veins lying between the PMZ and the Chico da Santa structures
north-east of the PMZ operation.  Further drilling and development of
both of these areas is planned for 2008.  In addition, deep drilling
of the northern PMZ is well advanced with the objective of extending
resources at depth.

Potentially, the most significant exploration activity by the company
to date was the 6,000 hectare helicopter-borne EM survey concluded in
January.  The results from this programme are expected to have a
significant impact on the exploration programme in identifying future
ore potential of the area once the results have been interpreted. We
hope to provide an initial report on the outcome of the survey before
the end of the first quarter.  Based on the success of ground-based
EM surveys in identifying a number of mineralised targets at Palito
last year, the use of Heli-EM (covering a much wider area) is likely
to provide a major breakthrough in this area of the Tapajos, rapidly
unlocking areas with good potential close to the established
operations but where access might hinder conventional initial
evaluation programmes.

With these initiatives and opportunities we believe the outcome for
2008 will show a significant operating improvement on 2007, with good
exploration prospects set to place Serabi in a strong position for
future growth.

Notes to Editors

The  Tapajos  region  of  northern  Brazil  encompasses  an  area  of
approximately 100,000  km²,  primarily situated  in  south-west  Para
State.  It has a significant history of alluvial gold production with
estimated gold  production of  some 30  million ounces  having  being
recovered, primarily from artisanal workings.

Present in the Tapajos  since 1999, Serabi  has established the  only
'hard rock' mine in the region to date at its Palito gold mine, which
produced 39,197  ounces  of  gold equivalent  in  2006  and  achieved
commercial production at Palito in October 2006

Serabi has a significant exploration programme focused on the Tapajos
region, owns and operates four surface drilling rigs and has its  own
assay laboratory.
