GUIRO EXPLORATION – MILESTONES 17 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. *Please note, Komet is not basing its production decisions/strategy on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability.
NEW ACQUISITION IN MALI – JUNE 2016 18 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)
