Strategy

Cassidy currently has a 1.097Moz contained in 20.45Mt grading 1.7g/t (cut-off @
0.5g/t) NI 43-101 gold resource and a Scoping Study on its Kouroussa project in
Guinea. The Company is progressing towards a completed Pre-Feasibility Study in
the second half of 2012. It is intended that the Pre-Feasibility Study project
managers will have been appointed by the end of 2011 alongside the appointment
of an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment study manger. The Company's
consultants will spend early 2012 working on the deposit remodelling, heap leach
metallurgical test work and geotechnical drilling. It is expected that a new
financial model will be available in the first quarter of 2012.


The Company is proposing to actively engage with the international investment
community during the first half of 2012 within a structured communications
programme as the Company looks to increase its global profile. Additionally the
Company is keen to expose its management team to a variety of investors,
analysts and investment and mining press over the course of the coming months.
