Cluff Gold plc: Acquisition of New Burkina Faso Gold Project

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Feb. 3, 2012) - Cluff Gold ("Cluff Gold" or the "Company") (AIM:CLF)(TSX:CFG), the
dual AIM/TSX-listed West African focused gold mining company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a legally
binding, conditional sale and purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with Orezone Gold Corporation ("Orezone") for the
acquisition of the licences and associated property comprising Orezone's Sega Gold Project ("Sega"), located
approximately 20km by road from Cluff Gold's Kalsaka project in Burkina Faso (the "Acquisition").

HIGHLIGHTS

/T/

-- Acquisition of new gold licences located within trucking distance of
Kalsaka, hosting NI 43-101 compliant gold resources comprising 450,366oz
Indicated (8.3Mt at 1.69 g/t) and 147,344oz Inferred (2.9Mt at 1.58g/t)

-- Consideration comprises 11 million new Cluff Gold ordinary shares and
US$15 million cash

-- Opportunity to significantly increase the Kalsaka mine life with limited
upfront capital expenditure

-- Detailed metallurgical test work completed by Orezone has indicated
average heap leach recoveries of 85% for oxide and transitional ore with
favourable agglomeration properties

-- Preliminary Economic Assessment to commence immediately to confirm the
feasibility of a heap leach operation processing Sega's oxide and
transitional resources while maintaining a throughput at Cluff Gold's
Kalsaka plant in line with existing capacity of 1.6Mtpa

-- Acquisition financed from Cluff Gold's existing cash resources which, as
at 31 December 2011, total US$28.9 million

-- Completion remains conditional on standard closing conditions including
the approval of the Government of Burkina Faso and the approval of the
TSX.

/T/

Peter Spivey, Chief Executive of Cluff Gold, commented:

"The acquisition of the Sega gives Cluff Gold the opportunity to significantly increase the Kalsaka mine life with
limited upfront expenditure, and enhances the potential for our Burkina Faso operations to continue to provide
significant cash flow through the development and early production from our flagship development asset, Baomahun in
Sierra Leone. This transaction brings us closer to establishing Cluff Gold as a leading West African focused gold
producer."

Ron Little, CEO of Orezone, commented:

"This transaction adds significant value for both Orezone and Cluff Gold and will provide more immediate cash flow for
the government of Burkina Faso. The sale provides Orezone with a significant non-dilutive financing to advance the
development of its Bombore gold project while still allowing the opportunity to participate in the upside at Sega
through an equity interest in Cluff Gold."

The Company will be hosting a conference call to discuss the Acquisition. The dial-in details are as below:

The Sega Gold Project

The Sega project is located 20km north of Cluff Gold's operating Kalsaka heap leach operation in Burkina Faso and
comprises the Tiba and Namasa exploration permits over a total area of approximately 313km2. Currently defined
resources are located on the Tiba exploration permit, approximately 20km by road from Kalsaka.

The project hosts current NI 43-101 compliant Indicated Mineral Resources totalling 450,366oz (8.3Mt at 1.69 g/t) and
Inferred Resources totalling 147,344oz (2.9Mt at 1.58g/t) as set out in Table 1 below.

A 10,000m RC drilling programme has recently commenced at the Sega project with the aim of defining additional oxide
resources.

/T/

Detailed metallurgical test work completed by Orezone(ii) has indicated recoveries of 85% using a 12.5mm crush size and
agglomeration using 5 kg/t of lime and 4 kg/t of cement which compares favourably to Cluff Gold's existing operations at
Kalsaka.

In addition to its proximity to the existing Kalsaka operation, the Sega project benefits from favourable
infrastructure, being close to well maintained roads and sufficient water to sustain a mining operation.

The Sega project is 100% held by a wholly owned subsidiary of Orezone. In line with the Burkina Faso Mining Code, the
Government of Burkina Faso has the right to a 10% free carried interest when a mining licence is granted. In addition to
standard government royalties, currently 5%, a net smelter royalty of 3% is held by Royal Gold Inc. which can be reduced
to 1% for an up-front payment of US$2 million. The Company currently intends to make this payment before the
commencement of mining.

Strategic Rationale

The acquisition of the Sega project brings Cluff Gold a significant increase in oxide and transitional resources
suitable for processing at Kalsaka, in addition to the anticipated resource increases which may result from the ongoing
exploration programme at Kalsaka and Yako and the programme commenced by Orezone at Sega.

Cluff Gold intends to commence a Preliminary Economic Assessment immediately to confirm the feasibility of an operation
whereby ore would be trucked from Sega to Kalsaka and processed at the Kalsaka plant, at a throughput in line with the
existing operation at Kalsaka of approximately 1.6Mtpa.

Preliminary analysis suggests that capital costs associated with the commencement of production from the newly acquired
resources at Sega would be approximately US$8 million, including the cost of additional crushing capacity, new leach
pads, site civil works, road upgrade works and fleet mobilisation costs.

In addition to the heap leach opportunity, both the Kalsaka and Sega properties host sulphide mineralisation that would
be suitable for processing through a CIL plant. The acquisition of the Sega project will further enhance the opportunity
for a long term sulphide processing plant to be built by Cluff Gold in Burkina Faso.

Acquisition Consideration

The consideration payable by Cluff Gold comprises:

/T/

-- the issuance to Orezone of 11 million new ordinary shares in Cluff Gold
(the "Consideration Shares"), and
-- US$15 million in cash.

/T/

Upon completion, Orezone will hold approximately 7.7% of the Company's issued share capital as so enlarged by the issue
of the Consideration Shares.

The Consideration Shares issued to Orezone are subject to a minimum hold period of 4 months. Thereafter, any disposal of
the Consideration Shares would be subject to orderly marketing arrangements for a period of two years from closing as
set out in the Agreement. Orezone has indicated that it has no present intention to dispose of any of the Consideration
Shares.

Subject to completion of the Acquisition, in addition to the Acquisition consideration, Cluff Gold will be responsible
for the costs of the 10,000m drilling programme currently ongoing at Sega, budgeted at approximately US$800,000.

Completion

Completion of the Acquisition remains conditional upon the formal approval of the Government of Burkina Faso for the
transfer of the Tiba and Namasa permits, together with standard closing conditions for a transaction of this nature,
including there being no material adverse change in relation to Sega.

Funding

The cash component of the Acquisition consideration is to be funded from the Company's existing cash resources, which as
at 31 December 2011 amounted to US$28.9 million.

About Kalsaka

The existing heap leach operation at the Kalsaka project represents an important cash generative asset for the Company,
producing 71,505oz at an average head grade of 1.45 g/t in 2011 and with guidance for production of 60 - 70,000oz in
2012.

As at 31 December 2010 Kalsaka had estimated proven and probable oxide and transitional reserves of 186,000oz (1.5Mt at
1.8g/t of proven reserves, and 1.9Mt at 1.6g/t of probable reserves). Inclusive of the mineral reserves as at that date,
it hosted oxide and transitional resources of 135,000oz (2.3Mt at 1.7 g/t) in the measured category, 267,000oz (4.5Mt at
1.5g/t) in the indicated category, with a further 44,000oz of inferred resources (1.0Mt at 1.3 g/t).(iii)

An aggressive exploration campaign is ongoing at Kalsaka with the primary aim of extending oxide mine life, which is
delivering promising results. A total of 36,546m of RAB and 39,859m of RC drilling was completed in 2011, and a further
programme of 88,000m of RAB, RC and diamond drilling is planned for 2012 at Kalsaka and the Yako concession, located
25km to the South East of Kalsaka.

About Cluff Gold

Cluff Gold is a gold developer-producer with assets in West Africa. The Company generates significant cash flow through
its Kalsaka gold mine in Burkina Faso, and is rapidly exploring the significant sulphide potential at its Yaoure project
in Cote d'Ivoire. The Company remains focused on its objective of becoming a mid-tier producer through the development
of its wholly-owned Baomahun project in Sierra Leone, which is expected to contribute an additional 135,000oz of gold
per annum, with significant exploration potential along strike. With its experience of bringing new mines into
production and a project pipeline spanning Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire and Mali, the Company aims to further increase
its production profile with its highly prospective exploration work across all assets.

Baomahun is Cluff Gold's defining development gold project in Sierra Leone. Definitive feasibility study work is
progressing in the immediate resource area, where 2.1Moz of indicated resources (25.6Mt at 2.5g/t) and a further 0.9Moz
of inferred resources (comprising 9.6Mt at 2.8g/t) have been delineated to date(iv). The current resource base is
limited to only 1.5km of a total 12km strike length. Exploration drilling is on-going, targeting the 4km northerly
strike extension of the current resource area.

Cluff Gold plc: Yaoure Project Drilling Results

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Jan. 19, 2012) - Cluff Gold ("Cluff Gold" or the "Company") (AIM:CLF)(TSX:CFG),
the dual AIM/TSX-listed West African focused gold mining company, is pleased to announce significant sulphide drilling
results from its Yaoure Project (previously known as Angovia) in Cote d'Ivoire.

HIGHLIGHTS

-- Very promising sulphide drilling results, including 28.35 metres at 3.24
g/t in Hole YD0021, 31.60 metres grading 1.97 g/t in Hole YD0014 and
13.25 metres at 4.14 g/t in Hole YD008.

-- Results give confidence that existing sulphide resources at Yaoure,
consisting of 169,000oz (3.4Mt at 1.6g/t) in measured category and
123,000oz (2.2Mt at 1.7g/t) in indicated category(i), can be
significantly increased during 2012.

-- Initial metallurgical testwork indicates that sulphide mineralisation is
not refractory.

-- Favourable location of Yaoure, within 5km of a hydro-electric power
source and abundant water minimise resource hurdle required for CIL
processing plant.

-- Follow up drilling underway targeting up to a 160m down dip extension to
the known mineralised zone over a 700m strike length.

Peter Spivey, Chief Executive of Cluff Gold, commented:

"Following the Company's decision to re-evaluate the Yaoure project in 2011, we are extremely pleased to be able to
report such strong sulphide mineralisation from the initial 1,967m diamond drilling programme. Given the early successes
we have had in regard to our sulphide drilling, we have taken the decision to focus on the significant sulphide
potential that we believe exists and have therefore chosen to rename the project both to reflect this and differentiate
it from the previous strategy which focused solely on the oxide resources.

The favourable location of Yaoure, with existing mine infrastructure, a nearby hydroelectric dam capable of supplying
low cost power for a sizeable milling operation, and abundant available water, add to our belief that Yaoure has the
potential to become a further significant project for Cluff Gold.

Initial metallurgical test work indicates that the sulphide mineralisation is not refractory and the relatively shallow
dip of the mineralisation, 25-35 degrees to the east, could result in significant open pit resources being delineated at
favourable stripping ratios. To this end, we have approved a US$6.6 million budget for an aggressive 79,000m exploration
drill programme in 2012 which is currently underway. Our focus is to delineate sufficient sulphide resources to sustain
a CIL operation, whilst at the same time continuing to search for lateritic and saprolitic oxide resources which could
result in an early re-opening of the heap leach operation. We remain confident in the project's ability to deliver
considerable value for our shareholders and we look forward to updating the market on progress made during the course of
2012."

Yaoure Project Strategy

During the second half of 2011, the Company embarked on a dual exploration strategy on its 367 square kilometre property
to further investigate the potential for resource delineation. The drill results reported in this release refer to
initial results from the sulphide ores at Yaoure Central (previously Prospect 4) where oxide mining had previously been
undertaken.

A map showing the location of the Yaoure project and the various prospects thereon, together with drilling maps and
cross sections, is set out on the Company's website at www.cluffgold.com.

The drilling results announced today focus on the sulphide potential of Yaoure Central, where the current sulphide
measured and indicated resources total 249,000 ounces (4.9Mt at 1.6g/t)(ii). This resource is based on previous RC
drilling typically extending down to about 100m below the original surface (60m below the current pit floor).

A total of 23 diamond drill holes (1,967m) were completed at Yaoure Central by late December 2011: 13 holes (838m) to
test east-west ("E-W") trending structures previously not included in any resource models, of which 11 results are
reported; and 10 holes (1,127m) to test the main north-south ("N-S") trending structure, of which 2 results are
reported. Results from the remaining 10 holes will be announced once received.

Although the testing of the main N-S structure was the primary objective, the E-W structures were drilled first due to
easier access within the pit during the later part of the rainy season in September and hence a higher number of results
are available from this drilling. A full set of results is set out in Appendix 1.

The results from the initial two holes drilled to intersect the N-S structures are highly encouraging, confirming the
width and grade of the main mineralised zone reported from historic RC results (30m at 3.64g/t). The aggregate composite
results are:

-- YD0021: 28.35 metres at 3.24 g/t Au from 35.30 metres
-- YD0014: 31.60 metres at 1.97 g/t from 31.80 metres.

Initial geological interpretation suggests that the intersected width approximates to true thickness.

A second phase of diamond drilling focusing on the N-S structures, consisting of 2,000m across 9 holes, has commenced to
follow up over a strike length of 700m and 250m down-dip, with results expected in March 2012.

Drilling results from the E-W structures include:

-- YD0001: 14.20 metres at 1.87 g/t Au from 48.70 metres
-- YD0003: 21.05 metres at 2.45 g/t Au from 55.45 metres
-- YD0004: 17.30 metres at 2.02 g/t Au from 27.22 metres and 2.80 metres at
25.56 g/t Au from 2.90m
-- YD0008: 13.25 metres at 4.14 g/t Au from 31.90 metres.

The E-W structures dip steeply to both the north and south, and are expected to further enhance the resource potential
from the main N-S trending structures.

An additional 1,000m drilling programme following up on the E-W structures is planned for February 2012, with results
expected in April 2012.

The Yaoure project is ideally located in Cote d'Ivoire with tarred roads being within a few kilometres of the mine site
and having a low cost hydroelectric power source from the Kossou power station, within 5 kilometres of the property. Due
to these natural infrastructure advantages, the resources needed to justify the construction of a CIL/CIP plant should
be lower than would be the case in other less beneficial locations and the project would be expected to benefit from
relatively lower capital and operating costs.

(4) All samples with visible gold or returning greater than 10 g/t are being reassayed by 500g Metallic Screen Fire
Assay and will be reported in due course.

Yaoure Project Geology

The geology of Yaoure consists of Birimian (Lower Proterozoic) metavolcanic greenstones which have been intruded by a
suite of small, mainly granodioritic, bodies. Syntectonic gold mineralisation is associated with shear zones, injected
by quartz veins and stockworks that trend N-S (Yaoure Central), NW-SE (Kongonza) and NE-SW (partly in-filled CMA South
Pit). These mineralised shear zones are evidenced by two major geochemical soil anomalies of greater than 200 ppb Au
which have strike lengths of 3 km (Yaoure Central) and 2 km (Kongonza).

The gold mineralisation at the Yaoure Central pit is mainly located in a series of N-S trending lenses associated with N-
S shearing. The whole package has a total thickness of about 125m and dips to the east at 25-35 degrees. The traces of
two N-S shears have been delineated and the Main Zone, an approximately 30m thick high grade mineralised zone in the
middle of the package, is associated with these two shears. The mineralisation occurs in a stockwork of quartz veins
ranging in thickness from more than a metre to a millimetre and in the enclosing pervasively altered (silicification and
lesser pyritisation) greenstones. Small syntectonic granodioritic bodies intrude the N-S shear zone and have themselves
been deformed and mineralised.

There is a second set of mineralised structures at the Yaoure Central pit trending 65-75 degrees (E-W structures). Both
N-S and E-W structures have suffered deformation and are regarded as being coeval - a syntectonic conjugate pair.
Visible gold is more common in the E-W structures.

The diamond drilling programme at Yaoure was undertaken by an independent drilling contractor. All holes at the Yaoure
Central Pit were drilled from within the pit and collared at a depth of between 20m and 35m below the original surface
level. All holes were drilled at inclinations of between -50 degrees and -60 degrees. The 13 holes testing the E-W
structures were drilled towards both the north and south with an average down-hole depth of 64m and a maximum down-hole
depth of 72m. The 10 holes testing the main N-S structure were all drilled towards the west at an inclination of -60
degrees, with an average down-hole depth of 113m and a maximum down-hole depth of 136m.

Drill cores for assaying were taken at a maximum of two metre intervals and were cut with a diamond saw with one-half of
the core placed in sealed bags and sent to the SGS sample preparation facility in Yamoussoukro, Cote d'Ivoire. The core
samples were then crushed down to minus 2 mm, split with half the sample then being pulverised down to 85% passing 75
microns. About 200g of the pulverised sample was then shipped to the SGS Laboratory in Tarkwa, in Ghana, an independent
laboratory to the Company, where the samples were analysed for gold by fire assay using a 50 g sample. As part of the
Company's QA/QC procedures, internationally recognised standards, duplicates and blanks were inserted and check assays
will also be submitted to other external laboratories.

Cluff Gold plc: 2011 Kalsaka Production Update and 2012 Outlook

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Jan. 12, 2012) - Cluff Gold (AIM:CLF)(TSX:CFG) ("Cluff Gold" or the
"Company"), the dual AIM/TSX-listed West African focused gold mining company, is pleased to announce an update
on its Kalsaka project.

HIGHLIGHTS

/T/

-- Kalsaka delivered excellent operational results in 2011, with production
totalling 71,505oz, exceeding the production guidance of 70,000oz

-- Promising oxide exploration results received for extension of existing
mine life with longer term sulphide potential demonstrated by deeper
drilling

-- Strong cash generation: year-end closing cash balance of US$28.9m for
the Group (31 December 2010: US$20.9m) with an additional 2,489oz of
gold bullion in hand at 31 December 2011 (31 December 2010: 1,258oz)

-- 2012 production guidance at Kalsaka: 60-70,000oz

/T/

Peter Spivey, Chief Executive of Cluff Gold, commented:

"I believe that 2012 will be a defining year for Cluff Gold, and I am looking forward to fulfilling the many
opportunities that exist within our portfolio of assets.

"We are pleased to begin the New Year by announcing that we have exceeded our full-year production target for
2011. Kalsaka has delivered strong operational results in 2011 and we are confident that this will continue in
2012.

"The management team is now working towards extending the mine life at Kalsaka and we are already achieving
promising exploration results in the oxide zone. We are also pursuing the possibility of developing a long-term
sulphide operation following the receipt of encouraging exploration results from deeper drilling.

With Baomahun progressing towards feasibility study and positive drilling results from Angovia's drill
programme, we seek to leverage our strong balance sheet and on-going production to allow us to maximise our
asset base and fulfil our goals for 2012."

Kalsaka Production

The Company is pleased to announce a successful year at its Kalsaka operations in Burkina Faso, which delivered
71,505oz to the Group, exceeding the Company's budgeted 70,000oz production guidance.

/T/

2011 2010 % Change

/T/

With the strong production level at Kalsaka generating good cash flow, the Group ended the year with a strong
debt-free balance sheet backed with US$28.9m of cash and a further 2,489oz of gold bullion in hand at 31
December 2011, with a value of approximately US$4.0 million at spot gold prices. Total cash and bullion
holdings of approximately US$32.9 million represent an increase of US$3.3 million over the quarter ended 30
September 2011, net of all group exploration costs, overheads and Baomahun development expenditure.

The Company expects the operation to continue generating strong cash flow in 2012, and production guidance
remains at 60-70,000oz. A crushing plant has now been successfully commissioned at the Kalsaka Mine, allowing
harder, higher-grade ore to be processed which will assist in delivering this target. This includes an existing
540,000t stockpile of previously mined oversized quartz and transitional material averaging 1.76g/t. In
addition, the 2.3Mt K-Zone ore-body with an average grade of 1.6g/t will also be mined, where recent in-fill
drilling results, including 16m at 7.75g/t from 10m and 2m at 58.14g/t from 20m, have confirmed high grade
mineralised zones. The in-fill drilling results are included in Table 1 of Appendix 1.

Exploration

The Company understands that an extension of the Kalsaka oxide mine life is of utmost priority, and has been
focused on exploration drilling across the licence area throughout 2011. A total of 36,546m of RAB and 39,859m
of RC drilling was completed in 2011, including 2,836m of RC drilling focused on sulphide targets. Although the
exploration results have been delayed due to the slow receipt of assays from external laboratories, the Company
is encouraged by the results received to date and is confident that they will contribute to the extension of
the existing mine life.

Promising results have been received at Zoungwa, 3km north-east of the processing plant, with significant oxide
intercepts including:

/T/

-- 7m at 9.12g/t from 9m depth,
-- 21m at 1.28g/t from 24m,
-- 14m at 1.36g/t from 41m, and
-- 15m at 1.58g/t from 36m.

/T/

At Rondo, 5km north-east of the processing plant, a lower grade ore zone has been defined, with intercepts
including:

/T/

-- 38m at 0.58g/t from 0m,
-- 24m at 0.77g/t from 16m,
-- 19m at 0.87g/t from 31m, and
-- 15m at 0.79g/t from 50m.

/T/

Results from other oxide targets include promising preliminary intercepts at the Zindinogo splay structures in
the east of the Kalsaka exploration licence area. Strike extension assessment drilling is also continuing
around the current pits to test the continuity of the existing ore bodies. Outside the Kalsaka licence area,
5,967m of RC was drilled at the 100% owned Yako concession, located approximately 25km southwest of Kalsaka,
with the aim of proving the inferred resources estimated by historical drilling. Results will be released in
due course as they are received.

In addition to the oxide results set out above, highly encouraging sulphide results have also been encountered
at Kalsaka as presented in the Q3 2011 update. Further to the results in the K-Zone announced on 29 November
2011, sulphide mineralisation has also been identified at the Zoungwa Prospect with results including:

/T/

-- 10m at 2.55g/t from 103m,
-- 7m at 2.28g/t from 72m,
-- 10m at 1.26g/t from 85m, and
-- 7m at 1.59g/t from 107m.

/T/

All results that meet the intersection criteria are set out in Appendix 1. A map showing the location of all
the prospects mentioned is available on the Company website, www.cluffgold.com. Resource calculations for some
of these areas are expected to be completed in Q1 2012.

Exploration remains a key focus at Kalsaka, with an extension to the oxide mine life a priority and the longer
term sulphide opportunity showing good promise. An exploration budget of US$6.8m has been committed to Kalsaka
and Yako for 2012, which includes an 88,000m drilling programme comprising RAB, RC and diamond holes.

About Cluff Gold

Cluff Gold is a gold developer-producer with assets in West Africa. The Company generates significant cash flow
through its Kalsaka gold mine in Burkina Faso. The Company remains focused on its objective of becoming a mid-
tier producer through the development of its wholly-owned Baomahun project in Sierra Leone, which is expected
to contribute an additional 135,000oz of gold per annum, with significant exploration potential along strike.
With its experience of bringing new mines into production and a project pipeline spanning Burkina Faso, Cote
d'Ivoire and Mali, the Company aims to further increase its production profile with its highly prospective
exploration work across all assets.

Baomahun is Cluff Gold's defining development gold project in Sierra Leone. Definitive feasibility study work
is progressing in the immediate resource area, where 2.1Moz of indicated resources (25.6Mt at 2.5g/t) and a
further 0.9Moz of inferred resources (comprising 9.6Mt at 2.8g/t) have been delineated to date(1). The current
resource base is limited to only 1.5km of a total 12km strike length. Exploration drilling is on-going,
targeting the 4km northerly strike extension of the current resource area.

(1) See news release dated 5 September 2011 entitled "Cluff Gold: Significant Resource Increase at Baomahun"

Appendix 1

The intersections shown in the tables are based on a minimum drilled width of 2m and a cut-off of 0.4 g/t for
RC results and 0.3 g/t for RAB results. Internal dilution of up to 2.00m at less than 0.4 g/t for RC results
and 0.3 g/t for RAB results has been allowed for continuity.

Interval widths are not true widths. True widths will be available at the resource calculation stage.

The RC drilling programme at Kalsaka was undertaken by an independent drilling contractor. All the drill holes
collar positions were pegged using a total station theodolite and re-surveyed after drilling. The drill collars
after survey were checked by onsite geologist. Each 1.0m RC chipping passing through a cyclone is collected in
a plastic bag and reduced in a multistage splitter to get a split of between 2kg and 4kg. Sampling was done
under the supervision of the site geologist. Duplicate samples were collected at every 10th sample point and
one blank inserted at every 20th point. Samples were submitted to the in-house laboratory, dried, crushed and
pulverised to 85-90% passing 106um and analysed by bulk leach extractable gold assays for twelve hours.

The RAB drilling programme at Kalsaka was undertaken by an independent drilling contractor. All the drill holes
collar positions were pegged using a Garmin GPS unit and re-surveyed after drilling. The drill collars after
survey were checked by onsite geologist. Each 1.0m RAB chipping passing through a cyclone is collected in a
plastic bag and 2m-composites are reduced in a multistage splitter to get a split of between 2kg and 4kg.
Sampling was done under the supervision of the site geologist. Duplicate samples were collected at every 20th
sample point and one blank inserted at every 20th point. Samples were submitted to the in-house laboratory,
dried, crushed and pulverised to 85-90% passing 106um and analysed by bulk leach extractable gold assays for
twelve hours.

RAB and RC check assays were also submitted to external commercial laboratories in Burkina Faso as part of the
Company's quality control procedures.
