Koba Bauxite Project

• Permits situated in the Boke Bauxite Belt in northwestern Guinea. Three bauxite mines operate in the world   class Boke Bauxite Belt.
• 536 square kilometer land package in the prefectures of Telimele and Gaoual.
• Project management by RSG Global Consulting of Perth, Australia, a subsidiary of Coffey Mining.
• Phase 1 drilling: 10,666 metres of drilling (aircore) in 558 holes completed.
• Phase 2 drilling: 26,093 metres of drilling in 1,589 holes completed.
• Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. have completed the NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate.


Why Bauxite?

• Bauxite is the “ore” of aluminum.
• Aluminum is one of the world’s most useful and used metals, possessing qualities of strength, flexibility, light   weight, corrosion resistance, formability, and high conductivity to both heat and electricity.
• Rapid growth of Asian economics has dramatically increased global demand for aluminum and hence, bauxite.
• In an environment of high demand and tight supply, the acquisition and development of bauxite resources   presents a tremendous opportunity.

Why Guinea
• Guinea is one of the largest bauxite producers in the world.
• Guinea hosts 30% of the global bauxite resources.
• Boke Bauxite Belt host the world’s largest and highest quality bauxite deposits with grades of 40 - 60% alumina.
• Anglo Aluminum has amassed a team of local and expatriate professionals experienced in bauxite exploration in   Guinea.
  
 

Geological Setting
Bauxite is derived from a flat-lying sequence of Paleozoic sedimentary strata and dolerite sills subjected to tropical weathering since the middle Miocene period, some 15 million years ago. These lithologies are highly aluminous, which when combined with the effects of tropical weathering and good drainage, result in high concentrations of alumina and iron oxides in the top layers of the weathered profile. Bauxite deposits of the Boke Bauxite Belt are rich in Gibbsite – Al(OH)3 and tyically grade between 40–60% Al2O3.

The permits are underlain by gabbro and aluminous dolerite and sedimentary rocks. Residual bauxites have been confirmed on the southern Télimélé permit. Bauxites have been confirmed in the northern Gaoual permit. A typical profile at Koba consists of 0-1m of overburden, 4-10m of hard bauxite (high Al2O3 and Fe2O3), 4m of low grade transitional bauxite intercalated with clay, and 5m of soft bauxite (high Al2O3 and kaolin).

Infrastructure
• Proposed and existing infrastructure includes refinery construction, hydroelectric development, and an existing    railway line. This line is apparently commercially available
   and runs an additional 135km to the port of Kamsar.
• Modern mining regulatory system.
• Three refineries proposed for construction in Guinea within the next 5-10 years, all of which will be within close    proximity to the Anglo Aluminum permit area.



       Phase 1 Drilling Phase 2 Drilling
  • A total of 10,666 metres of drilling (aircore) in 558 drill holes tested 23 individual plateaus on both permits.
  • Holes spaced at 300 to 600 metres over plateaus identified by a spectral and topographic analysis of Aster satellite imagery.
  • Targets were ranked based on interpreted geomorphology, with residual bauxite plateaus ranking highest.
  • Drilling consisted of shallow holes averaging 19 metres, with samples collected at 1-metre intervals downhole and logged for lithology and pedology.
  • A total of 1,589 holes are completed on the Télimélé with hole spacing of 150 metres for a total of 26,093 metres focused in Eastern and Northwestern Plateaus.
