THE ONLUUL COAL PROPERTY IN MONGOLIA - PROJECT OVERVIEW

We are acquiring 100% interest in two private Mongolian companies to operate three Mining Exploration Licenses encompassing portions of the Khar-khonkhor (Black Hole) Brown Coal Deposit and the Onjuul Brown Coal Deposit. The Onjuul Coal Depression was discovered in 1973 by the Russian-Mongolian Geological Expedition Group No.4 during geological mapping and follow-up of initial prospecting of coal seams in surface exposures. Fifteen holes were drilled for a total of 917.5 m, eleven exploration shafts were dug out (from 1.5 to 2.2 m in depth) along with excavation of 99.92 m3 in eight trenches. The holes were drilled to depths between 50m to 100m and intersected four coal seams ranging from 0.2m to 31.6m thick. For example, hole #12 was drilled to 90.5m and encountered 43.7m of coal.


LOCATION OF THE KHAR-KHONKHOR (BLACK
HOLE) AND ONJUUL BROWN COAL DEPOSIT


- In Southwest Mongolia
- In the Choir Nyalga Coal Basin
- Territory of Buren subprovince, Tuv province.
- south-west from the capital city of Ulaanbaatar
- and 45 km to south-east from Buren Soum
- in Tuv Aimag (Central Province)

The three licenses cover an area up to 7.08km x 4.15km and encompass 2156 hectares.


DETAILED MAPS OF THE THREE LICENSES



GEOLOGICAL SETTINGS OF ONJUUL

Coal-bearing rocks of the Onjuul Property occur in the Choir-Nyalga Coal Basin that is a part of the greater Nyalga Basin.
The Onjuul sub-basin is part of a series of rift basins of Mesozoic age that developed during basin and range-style extensional deformation across southern Mongolia.
Coal was locally deposited within the rift basins along with thick sequences of terrigenous sediments. The region has subsequently undergone a period of com- pressional folding and faulting.



HISTORICAL MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE BY RUSSIAN-MONGOLIAN GEOLOGISTS (1974)

The 1974 tonnages reported by Russian-Mongolian geologists were for the Onjuul Coal Depression and include the subject licenses, areas licensed by others and non-licensed areas in the vicinity of the subject properties. All drilling took place on the Company’s present Licenses.

The authors of the 1973 report did report on coal quality but did not have calorific and heating val- ues at the time or their report. The information aside is extracted from this report. Calorific and heating value data shall be put in after the confir- mation of the report. A later report gave calorific values of 4223(DB), 4505(AS) and 6085(DAF) Kcals. These figures are not verified and are not to be relied upon.

RECENT PROPERTY DEVELOPMENTS AND NI 43-101 RESULTS

A National Instrument NI 43-101 technical re- port has been pre- pared on the properties by Norwest Corp., of Salt Lake City Utah which reports utilizing unverifiable data from maps and cross sections presented in historical documents has estimated the ranges of preliminary potential in place tonnages to be 159 – 178 million tonnes within the license areas. The (NI) 43-101 technical report reported the coal at the Onjuul is classified as Lignite A based on ASTM standards. The potential in-place coal quality for the Onjuul lignite, reported in historical documents for both core and trench samples are listed in the table above. Norwest has recommended a drilling program that would consist of approximately 20 geotechnical/coal quality core holes and three hydrologic pump test locations. Five of these holes should be drilled to verify the coal thicknesses reported in the historical documents. The estimated cost of this drill program is US$1,000,000 and will take approximately three months to complete. The drilling program may be accelerated if equipment is available.


PROPERTY ACQUISITION AND PAYMENTS

We have agreements to acquire a 100% interest in the licenses by making payments of up to USD $19 million over 22 months, issuing two million common shares to the vendors and a 6% Royalty on produc- tion. The first installment of the purchase price of USD $3,370,000 is due 60 days after approval by the TSXV. The first tranche of 1,000,000 common shares is due 60 days after approval, 500,000 common shares 12 months and 500,000 common shares 18 months after approval. All shares issued are subject to a four month hold period.

MR. CARD VISITS THE DRILL CAMP AND DRILLING ON THE ONJUUL PROPERTY IN NOVEMBER 2009

Norwest has recommended a drilling program that would consist of approximately 20 geotechnical and coal quality core holes, and three hydrologic pump test locations. Five of these holes should be drilled to verify the coal thicknesses reported in the historical documents. The estimated cost of this drill program is $1-million (U.S.). It will take approximately three months to complete.

the first hole of the drilling program on the Company’s Onjuul Coal Prospect in Mongolia has been completed. This first hole was located as an offset to Hole #12 of the Russian/Mongolian Exploration program of 1973. The hole, designated NL-09-22C TB001, was cored to 120meters and then changed to Rotary drilling as a faster and cheaper method. The GPS location is 538626E x 5167713N. The hole has been completed at 201 meters depth.
The coal intercepts are as follows: From
8.96 to 15.65m - 6.69m
16.45 to 17.36m - .91m
45.85 to 84.6m - 38.75
130m* to 136m - 6m (*Rotary samples, poor seam thickness delineation)

This compares favorably with the offset hole #12 . The core has been logged, split and boxed ready for testing at the laboratory in Ulaanbaatar and will be shipped once additional holes have been completed.
The drillers now have two rigs operating on a 24 hour basis (2 – 12 hr shifts).
The camp has 21 sleeping gers, 1 office ger and a larger Mess Hall ger. Total personnel on site number about 44.
