Exporien Mining P/L.

Exporien Mining P/L has interests in gold claims and coal bed methane gas (CBM) concessions. The gold claims are located in the Shurugwi district in the southern parts of Zimbabwe. The company’s coal bed methane gas concessions are located in the Midlands and Matabeleland North provinces of Zimbabwe. However the Company's CBM tenaments currently stand withdrawn by the state. This withdrawal was done without following due procedure and hence the company is seeking legal remedy to challenge this decision. The company has undertaken quite extensive desktop studies which include remote sensing studies on both the gold claims and CBM concessions. The depressed investment appetite for Zimbabwe projects has delayed significant progress in developing these assets as the company seeks funding and technical partners with capacity to turn these tenements into producing assets. Exporien Mining has confidence in the perspectivity of its assets based on the studies carried out to date. Exporien Mining has had a number of companies out of South Africa, Europe and Australia express interest in its assets but these companies remain on the peripheries watching developments in the perceived risk associated with FDI into Zimbabwe.
