Boa Vista Project

The Boa Vista Project is a large property (12,889 Ha) located in the Tapajós region of northern Brazil with extensive historic alluvial and lateritic workings that was largely unexplored until 2010 when Brazilian Gold and their joint venture partners started systematic exploration programs across the property. The exploration programs quickly outlined a number of highly prospective targets (Jair, Ze do Leicha, Almir, Planalto and Pistinha) and the discovery of the VG1 gold deposit.

The maiden mineral resource estimate on the VG1 deposit was completed shortly (16 months) after the discovery was reported in March 2011 (News Release 5/11 and 6/11). The mineral resource estimate outlined an inferred resource of 8.47 Mt grading 1.23 g/t gold (336,000 oz) at a 0.5 g/t cut-off and is based on shallow (<150m depth) and limited drilling (15 holes in 3,007m) and trenching (14 trenches in 2,229 m) of the eastern 600m of an overall 2,000m gold-in-soil anomaly. The mineralization forms a coherent deposit that is not significantly affected by changes in the cut-off grade near the declared mineral resource grade of 0.5 g/t gold; the resource is open at depth and along strike with a high potential to expand the existing mineral resource with additional drilling. Coarse gold visible in some drill cores and trench samples, and screened metallic analysis of selected trench and drill samples -suggests the overall grade of the deposit could be higher when larger samples are mined and processed.

Exploration programs (soil geochemistry, geophysics and limited drilling) have covered approximately 25% of the property and further exploration programs are planned to explore the remainder of the property, where numerous historic garimpeiro workings have been identified. In addition, step-out and infill drilling will be completed at the VG1 deposit to determine the limits of the mineralization.
