The Medinandi Project in western Mali contains a global mineral resource estimate of 4.6 Mt at 2.04 g/t gold for 302,000 oz gold (1.0 g/t gold cut-off) of which 80% (241,000 oz gold) is attributable to Papillon Resources Ltd. Papillon completed the acquisition of 80% equity interests in each of Mali Goldfields SARL (“Mali Goldfields”) and Songhoï Resources SARL (“Songhoi Resources”) (collectively referred to as “Malian Assets”) on 17th March 2010. Since this time, Papillon has increased its equity stake in Mali Goldfields to 90%.

Songhoï Resources represents the joint venture vehicle between Papillon (80% equity interest) and Mani SARL (20% equity interest) established in August 2006 for the exploration and development of four exploration permits covering circa 279km2 in the prospective Kéniéba and Kayes districts in West Mali.

Papillon’s tenements in West Mali are in the Kéniéba Valley, host to AngloGold Ashanti Limited / IAMGOLD Corporation’s Sadiola and Yatela Mines, Randgold Resources Limited’s Loulo-Yalea operations and Avion Resources’ Tabakoto-Segala mines.

Papillon’s tenements in South Mali are proximal to the Morila gold mine (owned via a joint venture between AngloGold Ashanti and Randgold), the Syama Mine operated by Resolute Mining Limited and the advanced projects Komana (Goldfields Ltd), and Kalana.

Malian Assets position Papillon with a significant portfolio of tenements in a world class gold region that will add significant growth potential for shareholders.
