CRONUS RESOURCES LTD.
Suite 401
1 University Avenue
Toronto, Ontario M5J 2P1

February 17, 2010
Dear Shareholder:

In an effort to maximize value to shareholders, management of Cronus Resources Ltd. ("Cronus Resources") seeks your approval of a proposed amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") with Continental Gold Limited ("Continental Gold"), with the amalgamated company to continue as Continental Gold Limited (“Amalco”).

Continental Gold, a private Bermuda incorporated company, is engaged in mineral exploration and development in Colombia, South America. Continental Gold has nine 100% owned gold exploration projects on over 100,000 hectares of exploration concessions in some of the most prospective gold districts in Colombia, South America.

Continental Gold’s flagship project is Buriticá in the Antioquia Department, a 2.5 hour drive from Medellin. Infrastructure is excellent with paved roads, water and power readily available. Exploration began on Buriticá in late 2007 and since that time Continental Gold has completed surface and underground mapping and sampling; geophysical studies (magnetics and IP) and 14,000 m of diamond drilling resulting in several important high grade discoveries including the San Antonio Vein and the Veta Sur bulk tonnage vein swarm.

The Buriticá district is underlain by an allochthonous sequence of flysche type sediments, which are cut by tonalitic intrusions and overlain by a mafic volcanic complex. The Tertiary age Buriticá sequence of high level intermediate composition intrusions is affected by propylitic through potassic alteration. A late-stage diatreme breccia cuts the higher temperature phases and is characterized by sericitization and intermediate argillic alteration. Gold mineralization is present in several geological settings including replacements at intrusive contacts, disseminations in the breccia pipe bodies and in a series of bonanza grade veins. It is characterized by pyrite-sphalerite with lesser galena and is associated with late, sericitic alteration.

Other properties within the Continental Gold portfolio include two active joint-ventures with AngloGold Ashanti Limited and a group of concessions named Santander, totaling over 5,000 hectares located in the immediate vicinity of Ventana Gold Corp.´s La Bodega project and Greystar Resources Ltd.´s Angostura project.

Continental Gold’s technical team collectively has over 40 years of Colombia-specific exploration and mine development experience.

Following the Amalgamation, the board of directors of Amalco will comprise the following individuals: Robert Allen, Ari Sussman, James Felton, Jaime Gutiérrez and Patrick Anderson. The officers of Amalco will consist of Robert Allen (Chairman), Ari Sussman (President & Chief Executive Officer), Donald Christie (CFO), Peter Bolt (Vice President Operations), Stuart Moller (Vice President Exploration) and Gustavo Koch (Corporate Secretary).

Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, shareholder approval. The transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

The directors of Cronus Resources unanimously support the Amalgamation on the basis that it is fair to and in the best interests of its shareholders, and look forward to Cronus Resources’ new direction.

By Order of the Board

(Signed): "Ari Sussman"

Following the Amalgamation, the board of directors of Amalco will comprise the following individuals: Robert Allen, Ari Sussman, James Felton, Jaime Gutiérrez and Patrick Anderson.

Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, shareholder approval. The transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

NOTE TO U.S. RESIDENTS

This Information Circular involves the securities of issuers which are organized outside of the United States. This Information Circular is subject to the disclosure requirements of Canada, which are different from those of the United States. The Amalco Shares to be issued to holders of Continental Gold Shares and Cronus Resources Shares in connection with the Amalgamation, have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") and are being issued to United States Shareholders in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 802 thereof. This Information Statement is not subject to the requirements of section 14(a) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Amalco Shares will not be listed for trading on any United States stock exchange. Accordingly, the solicitations and transactions contemplated in this Information Statement are made in the United States in accordance with Canadian corporate and securities laws, and have been prepared solely in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada. Shareholders in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States applicable to registration statements under the U.S. Securities Act.

The Amalco Shares to be issued to United States holders of Cronus Resources Shares and Continental Gold Shares pursuant to the Amalgamation will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, and such securities will be freely tradeable in the United States under applicable United States securities laws except for (i) any Amalco Shares acquired by affiliates of Cronus Resources or Continental Gold and (ii) Amalco Shares that are issued with respect to Cronus Resources Shares or Continental Gold Shares that are deemed "restricted securities" under Rule 144 of the U.S. Securities Act, which in each case may be resold in the United States only in accordance with Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act. Resales may also be made in Canada in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.

Information concerning the properties and operations of Continental Gold and Cronus Resources has been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards under applicable Canadian Securities Laws, which are not comparable in all respects to United States disclosure standards. The terms “Mineral Resource”, “Measured Mineral Resource”, “Indicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” used in this Information Circular are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under guidelines set out in the CIM Standards.

xxii


While the terms “Mineral Resource”, “Measured Mineral Resource”, “Indicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under the standards of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. As such, certain information contained or incorporated by reference in this Information Circular concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards is not comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. An “Inferred Mineral Resource” has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and as to its economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “Inferred Mineral Resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured, Indicated or Inferred Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. Investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an “Inferred Mineral Resource” exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

All financial statements included or incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards. They may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies. As a result, the financial statements included and incorporated by reference herein have not been reconciled to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as may otherwise be necessary under registration statement requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Continental Gold and Cronus Resources were each created under laws other than the laws of the United States, that some or all of the officers and directors of each are residents of Canada, that some or all of the experts named in this Information Statement, or incorporated by reference therein, are residents of Canada and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of Continental Gold and Cronus Resources and of such persons are located outside the United States. You may not be able to sue a Canadian issuer or its officers or directors in a Canadian court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a Canadian issuer and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.

No broker, dealer, salesperson or other person has been authorized to give any information or make any representation other than those contained in this document and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized by Continental Gold and Cronus Resources.

THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY NOR HAS THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

NEITHER THE FACT THAT A REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN APPLICATION FOR A LICENSE HAS BEEN FILED UNDER CHAPTER 421-B OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE REVISED STATUTES WITH THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE NOR THE FACT THAT A SECURITY IS EFFECTIVELY REGISTERED OR A PERSON IS LICENSED IN THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE CONSTITUTES A FINDING BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE THAT ANY DOCUMENT FILED UNDER RSA 421-B IS TRUE, COMPLETE AND NOT MISLEADING. NEITHER ANY SUCH FACT NOR THE FACT THAT AN EXEMPTION OR EXCEPTION IS AVAILABLE FOR A SECURITY OR A TRANSACTION MEANS THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE HAS PASSED IN ANY WAY UPON THE MERITS OR QUALIFICATIONS OF OR RECOMMENDED OR GIVEN APPROVAL TO, ANY PERSON, SECURITY OR TRANSACTION. IT IS UNLAWFUL TO MAKE, OR CAUSE TO BE MADE, TO ANY PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER, CUSTOMER, OR CLIENT ANY REPRESENTATION INCONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.

Summary of the Continuance

By continuing Cronus Resources under the Bermuda Act, Cronus Resources will reside in the same jurisdiction as Continental Gold, which will facilitate the Amalgamation. The Continuance is subject to the approval of Cronus Resources Shareholders and receipt of requisite regulatory consents. For more information concerning the Continuance, see "Part II – Matters To Be Acted Upon At The Meetings – The Continuance".

Continental Gold Financing

Continental Gold completed the Continental Gold Financing consisting of the sale of 19,166,667 Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts at a price of CDN $1.50 per Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of CDN $28,750,000.

Stock Exchange Listing and Approval

The Cronus Resources Shares are currently listed on the TSXV and trade under the symbol “CZR”. Cronus Resources has applied to the TSXV for approval of the Amalgamation and to the TSX for the listing of the Amalco Shares on the TSX upon completion of the Amalgamation and, as such, it must meet all of the original listing requirements of the TSX. At the time of the mailing of this Information Circular, the TSX has not provided any such approval, nor has it made any determination based on the information available to it at the time of the mailing of this Information Circular as to whether Amalco will satisfy the TSX’s original listing requirements. If Amalco does not meet the original listing requirements of the TSX, the Amalco Shares will not be listed on the TSX and therefore will continue to trade on the TSXV, subject to the approval of the TSXV.

xxix


Market Price

Trading of the Cronus Resources Shares was halted on October 9, 2009 pending the announcement of the proposed Amalgamation. On October 6, 2009, the last day on which the Cronus Resources Shares traded prior to the halt, the closing price of the Cronus Resources Shares on the TSXV was CDN $0.62. See “Part III - Information Concerning Cronus Resources – Price Range and Trading Volume”.

No public market exists for the Continental Gold Shares.
Interest of Insiders, Promoters or Control Persons

Except as otherwise noted herein, no Insider, promoter or Control Person of Cronus Resources or its Associates and Affiliates (before giving effect to the Amalgamation) have any interest in the Amalgamation.

Arm’s Length Transaction

The Amalgamation constitutes an arm’s length transaction.

Available Funds

Upon closing of the Amalgamation, the Resulting Issuer will have approximately $24.0 million of funds available to it. The Resulting Issuer will use the available funds for mineral exploration and for working capital. However, management may reallocate available funds for sound business reasons.

Conflicts of Interest

There are potential conflicts of interest to which the directors and officers of the Resulting Issuer will be subject in connection with the operations of the Resulting Issuer. Some of the directors and officers have been and will continue to be engaged in the identification and evaluation, with a view to potential acquisition of interests in businesses and corporations on their own behalf and on behalf of other corporations, and situations may arise where the directors and officers will be in direct competition with the Resulting Issuer. Conflicts, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies under the Bermuda Act.

After the completion of the Amalgamation, Bulletco and related entities will hold at least 47.3% of the outstanding Amalco Shares. Accordingly, Bulletco will retain control of Amalco. Robert W. Allen controls Bulletco and he will be a director and officer of Amalco and will have interests in certain material contracts with Amalco. By virtue of its status as the controlling shareholder of Amalco, there exists the possibility for Bulletco to be in a position of conflict with Amalco. In general, the interests of Bulletco and Amalco will be aligned to maximize the value of the Colombia Projects and, thereby, maximize the value of Amalco. Should conflicts arise, upon completion of the Amalgamation the conduct of Bulletco will be subject to Canadian securities and applicable corporate legislation concerning related party transactions and shareholder rights and remedies. In addition, the majority of directors of Amalco who are independent of Bulletco will be responsible to act in the best interests of Amalco as noted above. Moreover, Bulletco is limited in its ability to sell the Continental Gold Shares it owns pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. See “Part IV – Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer - Escrowed Securities”.

Interest of Experts and Consultants

No person or company who is named as having prepared or certified a part of the Information Circular or prepared or certified a report or valuation described or included in the Information Circular has, or will have upon completion of the Amalgamation, any direct or indirect interest in the Resulting Issuer.

xxx


Sponsorship and Agent Relationship

In connection with Amalco’s application to have the Amalco Shares listed on the TSX, Amalco will seek to rely on an exemption from the TSX sponsorship requirements on the basis that the Agents are TSX “participating organizations” and will act as agents in connection with the Continental Gold Financing forming part of the Amalgamation.

The Agent has been retained to complete the Continental Gold Financing. The Agent is arm’s length to Amalco and does not own any securities of either Continental Gold or Cronus Resources.

The Agent and an advisor will receive Amalco Financing Compensation Options at the Effective Time entitling the Agent and the advisor to subscribe for that number of Continental Gold Financing Units of the Company as is equal to a total of 7% of the aggregate number of Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts sold pursuant to the Continental Gold Financing. Each Amalco Financing Compensation Option will be exercisable to acquire one Continental Gold Financing Unit at a price of $1.50 for a period of one year from the Effective Time. The Agent and an advisor will also receive a cash commission equal to a total of 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Continental Gold Financing immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Risk Factors

If the Amalgamation is completed, the Resulting Issuer will be engaged in mineral exploration in Colombia. There are a variety of risks associated with the mineral exploration industry and additional risks associated with mineral exploration activities in foreign countries. Such risk factors are more particularly described in this Information Circular under the heading "Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer" and may be summarized as follows:

  • Resource exploration and development is a speculative business and involves a high degree of risk which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.

  • Continental Gold’s principal mineral properties are located in Colombia. Operations in Colombia are subject to risk due to the potential for social, political, economic, legal and fiscal instability. The government in Colombia faces ongoing problems of inflation, unemployment and inequitable income distribution.

  • Currently there are no restrictions on the repatriation from Colombia of earnings to foreign entities and Colombia has never imposed such restrictions. However, there can be no assurance that restrictions on repatriation of earnings from Colombia will not be imposed in the future.

  • Continental Gold has no history of generating revenue or profits. There can be no assurance that it will generate profits in the future.

  • Continental Gold has sufficient financial resources to undertake all of its currently planned exploration programs but will require additional funds to fund further exploration and other acquisitions.

  • The mining industry in general is intensely competitive and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of mineral resource are discovered, a profitable market will exist for the sale of same or that mineral prices will be such that Continental Gold’s properties can be mined at a profit.

  • Continental Gold is not the registered holder of all of the licences or concessions that comprise the Colombia Projects. Some of the licences and concessions that comprise the Colombia Projects are registered in the names of certain entities controlled by Bulletco.

  • In the course of exploration of mineral properties, certain detrimental events and, in particular, unexpected or unusual geological conditions including rock burst, cave-ins, fires, flooding, and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and Continental Gold may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or for other reasons.

xxxi


  • All phases of Continental Gold’s operations are subject to environmental regulation. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees.

  • Continental Gold will compete with other exploration companies which have greater financial resources and technical facilities for the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.

  • A number of Non-Governmental Organizations (“NGO’s) are becoming increasingly active in Colombia as the security and safety in Colombia increases. These organizations may create or inflame public unrest and anti- mining sentiment among the inhabitants in areas of mineral development.

  • Certain directors and officers of Continental Gold are also directors, officers or shareholders of other companies that are similarly engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and exploiting natural resource properties. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. Bulletco and affiliated entities are the controlling shareholder of Continental Gold. Robert W. Allen controls Bulletco and Grupo and Mr. Allen is a director of Continental Gold and has interests in certain material contracts with Continental Gold.

  • Continental Gold’s development to date has depended, and in the future will continue to depend, on the efforts of key management employees, namely Peter B. Bolt (Vice-President of Operations), Donald H. Christie (Chief Financial Officer), Stuart A. Moller (Vice-President of Exploration) and Gustavo J. Koch (Corporate Secretary). Loss of any of these people could have a material adverse effect on Continental Gold. Continental Gold does not have key man insurance in place with respect to any of these individuals.

  • Several of the directors and officers of Continental Gold reside outside of Canada. Substantially all of the assets of these persons, and Continental Gold, are located outside of Canada. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect services of process within Canada upon the directors or officers named above. It may also not be possible to enforce against certain of Continental Gold’s directors and officers, and certain experts named herein, as judgments obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon civil liability provisions of application securities laws in Canada.

  • Continental Gold’s current and proposed exploration operations in Colombia render it subject to foreign currency fluctuations, which may materially affect its financial position and results.

  • Continental Gold has compiled technical data in respect of the Colombia Projects, much of which was not prepared by Continental Gold. While the data represents a useful resource for Continental Gold, much of it must be verified by Continental Gold before being relied upon in formulating exploration programs.

  • Mining, processing, development and exploration activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important determinants, which affect capital and operating costs.

  • The mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities of Continental Gold are subject to various laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, land claims of local people and other matters.

  • Securities of micro-cap and small-cap companies have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved.

xxxii


  • No dividends on the Continental Gold Shares have been paid by Continental Gold to date. Payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of Continental Gold's board of directors after taking into account many factors, including Continental Gold's operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs.

  • Sales of a large number of Amalco Shares in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of the Amalco Shares.

  • After the completion of the Amalgamation, Bulletco and related entities will hold at least 47.3% of the outstanding Amalco Shares. Accordingly, Bulletco will retain control of Amalco.

  • Amalco intends to allocate the available funds as described under “Part V – Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Available Funds and Principal Purposes” in this Information Circular. However, management will have the discretion in the actual application of the available funds, and may elect to allocate such funds differently from that described therein.

  • Continental Gold was incorporated under the Bermuda Act, and is thereby subject to the laws of Bermuda which need to be considered in assessing the operations of Continental Gold.

Other Matters to be Approved at the Meetings - Approval of the Stock Option Plan

The boards of directors of Cronus Resources and Continental Gold have approved the Stock Option Plan. Provided that the Amalgamation Resolution receives requisite approval of the Shareholders, Shareholders will be asked at the Cronus Resources Meeting and the Continental Gold Meeting to approve the Stock Option Plan which will serve as the stock option plan for Amalco. See "Part II – Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meetings – Stock Option Plan".

Income Tax Considerations

In determining whether or not to vote in favour of the Amalgamation, shareholders of Cronus Resources should carefully consider the information set forth in “Part II – Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meetings– Canadian Income Tax Considerations”.

Resale of Amalco Shares

If the Amalgamation is completed, holders of Cronus Resources Shares and Continental Gold Shares resident in each of the provinces and territories of Canada will receive Amalco Shares pursuant to the Amalgamation which may be resold free of prospectus requirements and statutory hold periods in certain circumstances. See "Part II –Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meetings – Resale of Amalco Shares".

A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Cronus Resources Shareholder), other than Ari Sussman or John Ross to represent such Cronus Resources Shareholder at the Cronus Resources Meeting. To exercise this right, a Cronus Resources Shareholder should insert the name of the other person in the blank space provided on the Instrument of Proxy. Alternatively, a Cronus Resources Shareholder may complete another appropriate Instrument of Proxy. An Instrument of Proxy will not be valid unless it is deposited at the offices of Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 100 University Ave, 8th Floor, Toronto ON M5J 2Y1, not less than forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of the Cronus Resources Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Robert W. Allen and Gary P. Barket (the management designees named in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy) are officers and/or directors of Continental Gold. A Continental Gold Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Continental Gold Shareholder), other than Robert W. Allen and Gary P. Barket to represent such Continental Gold Shareholder at the Continental Gold Meeting. To exercise this right, a Continental Gold Shareholder should insert the name of the other person in the blank space provided on the Instrument of Proxy. Alternatively, a Continental Gold Shareholder may complete another appropriate Instrument of Proxy. An Instrument of Proxy will not be valid unless it is deposited at the office of Olympia Transfer Services Inc., Suite 920, 120 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 1T1, not less than twenty-four (24) hours before the time of the Continental Gold Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

A Shareholder who has submitted an Instrument of Proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing signed by the Shareholder or by an authorized attorney or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer, and deposited either: (i) in the case of Continental Gold at the offices of Olympia Transfer Services Inc., Suite 920, 120 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 1T1, and in the case of Cronus Resources at the offices of Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 100 University Ave, 8th Floor, Toronto ON M5J 2Y1, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the respective shareholder meeting or any adjournment thereof; or (ii) with the Chairman of the respective shareholder meeting on the day of that shareholder meeting or any adjournment thereof. In addition, an Instrument of Proxy may be revoked: (i) by the Shareholder personally attending at the shareholder meeting and voting the securities represented thereby or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a representative of the corporation attending at the shareholder meeting and voting such securities; or (ii) in any other manner permitted by law.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXYHOLDERS

The management designees named in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the shares in respect of which they are appointed, on any ballot that may be called for, in accordance with the direction of the Shareholder appointing them and if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of such direction, the relevant Cronus Resources Shares will be voted for: (i) the approval of the Continuance Resolution; (ii) if the Continuance Resolution is approved, the approval of the Amalgamation Resolution (including the election of directors and appointment of auditors contemplated therein); and (iii) if the Amalgamation Resolution and the Continuance Resolution are approved, the approval of the Stock Option Plan Resolution, all as more particularly described in this Information Circular. In the absence of such direction, the relevant Continental Gold Shares will be voted for annual business consisting of the election of directors and appointment of auditors, and special business consisting of: (i) the approval of the Amalgamation Resolution (including the election of directors and appointment of auditors contemplated therein); and (ii) if the Amalgamation Resolution is approved, the approval of the Stock Option Plan Resolution, all as more particularly described in this Information Circular. The accompanying Instrument of Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments to or variations of the matters identified in the Notices of Meeting and with respect to other matters that may properly be brought before the respective shareholder meeting. As of the date hereof, management of Cronus Resources and Continental Gold know of no such amendments, variations or other matters to be brought before the respective meetings.

SIGNING OF PROXY

The Instrument of Proxy must be signed by the Shareholder or his duly appointed attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer. An Instrument of Proxy signed by a person acting as attorney or in some other representative capacity (including a representative of a corporate shareholder) should indicate that person's capacity (following his signature) and should be accompanied by the appropriate instrument evidencing qualification and authority to act (unless such instrument has been previously filed with Cronus Resources or Continental Gold).

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SHARES

Voting of Common Shares – General

As at the date hereof, there are 15,321,274 Cronus Resources Shares issued and outstanding, each of which carries the right to one vote at meetings of Cronus Resources.

Only persons registered as holders of Cronus Resources Shares as of the close of business on January 25, 2010 are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Cronus Resources Meeting.

As at the date hereof, there are 117,332,400 Continental Gold Shares issued and outstanding, each of which carries the right to one vote at meetings of Continental Gold.

Only persons registered as holders of Continental Gold Shares as of the close of business on January 25, 2010 are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Continental Gold Meeting, except that any person who acquires Continental Gold Shares from a Continental Gold Shareholder after that date, may vote the shares so acquired if, not later than 10 days prior to the Continental Gold Meeting, that person makes a request to Continental Gold to have his name included on the Shareholders' list for the Continental Gold Meeting and establishes that he owns the Continental Gold Shares.

Voting of Common Shares – Advice to Non-Registered Holders

Only registered holders of Cronus Resources Shares and Continental Gold Shares, or the persons they appoint as their proxies, are permitted to attend and vote at the respective shareholder meeting. However, in many cases, Cronus Resources Shares and Continental Gold Shares beneficially owned by a holder (a "Non-Registered Holder") are registered either:

2



  (a)

in the name of an intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Cronus Resources Shares or Continental Gold Shares. Intermediaries include banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans; or

     
  (b)

in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or "CDS").

In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, Cronus Resources and Continental Gold have distributed copies of the Notices, this Information Circular and the Instruments of Proxy (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

Intermediaries are required to forward meeting materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Typically, Intermediaries will use a service company (such as Broadridge Investor Communications ("Broadridge")) to forward meeting materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive meeting materials will:

  (a)

have received as part of the Meeting Materials a voting instruction form which must be completed, signed and delivered by the Non-Registered Holder in accordance with the directions on the voting instruction form; voting instruction forms sent by Broadridge permit the completion of the voting instruction form by telephone or through the Internet at www.proxyvotecanada.com; or

     
  (b)

less typically, be given a proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature) which is restricted as to the number of Cronus Resources Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise uncompleted. This form of proxy need not be signed by the Non-Registered Holder. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 100 University Ave, 8th Floor, Toronto ON M5J 2Y1 in the case of Cronus Resources and Olympia Transfer Services Inc., Suite 920, 120 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 1T1, in the case of Continental Gold, as described above.

The purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Cronus Resources Shares and Continental Gold Shares they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder wish to attend and vote at the respective shareholder meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Holder), the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the persons named in the proxy and insert the Non-Registered Holder's (or such other person's) name in the blank space provided or, in the case of a voting instruction form, follow the corresponding instructions on the form. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries and their service companies.

Only registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-Registered Holders who wish to change their vote must in sufficient time in advance of the respective shareholder meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries to change their vote and if necessary revoke their proxy in accordance with the revocation procedures set above.

PART II – MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETINGS

THE CONTINUANCE

Introduction

Cronus Resources is seeking the approval and authorization of its shareholders to continue to Bermuda under the Bermuda Act, which will facilitate the Amalgamation. The Continuance is subject to the approval of the Cronus Resources Shareholders and receipt of requisite regulatory consents. Upon the Continuation and Amalgamation, the Ontario Act will cease to apply to Cronus Resources and Amalco will be subject to the Bermuda Act.

Effect of the Continuance

If the Continuance and the Amalgamation are approved, all matters of corporate governance of Amalco will be determined under applicable laws of Bermuda and Cronus Resources’ articles will be amended accordingly. Pursuant to section 181(9) of the Ontario Act, a company cannot be continued under the laws of another jurisdiction unless the jurisdiction of continuance has laws that comply with certain requirements, including the continuation of liabilities. The Bermuda Act provides that on a continuation the property of a company continues to be the property of the company, the company continues to be liable for the obligations of the company, an existing cause of action, claim or liability to prosecution is unaffected, a civil criminal or administrative action or proceeding pending by or against the company may be continued to be prosecuted by or against the company, and may be enforced by or against the company. Shareholders should consult their legal advisors regarding implications of the Continuance which may be of particular importance to them.

Differences Between Ontario Company Law and Bermuda Company Law

The Ontario Act currently governs the corporate affairs of Cronus Resources. If the Continuance and Amalgamation are completed, Amalco will be domiciled in Bermuda and subject to the Bermuda Act.

There are a substantial number of differences between the Ontario Act and the Bermuda Act that will materially affect the rights of shareholders. The following is a summary of some of the major differences between the two legislative regimes. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and shareholders should consult with their legal advisors regarding all of the implications of the Continuance and the Amalgamation. See also “Part IV –Information Concerning Continental Gold – Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer –Bermuda Legal Matters”.

General

The Bermuda Act provides for the incorporation of companies in Bermuda. Typically the object of a Bermuda company is to engage in any act or activity that is not prohibited under any law for the time being in force in Bermuda.

Under the Ontario Act, the constating documents of a corporation consist of its articles of incorporation and by-laws. Under the Bermuda Act, the constating documents of a company which has been continued into Bermuda are its memorandum of association (“Memorandum”) and bye-laws (“Bye-laws”). Upon continuance into Bermuda and the Amalgamation becoming effective, Amalco is required to adopt a Memorandum and Bye-laws that comply with the Bermuda Act. The Memorandum and Bye-laws of Amalco will comply with the necessary requirements of the Bermuda Act, and the objects of Amalco will be to engage in any activity not prohibited by the laws of Bermuda. A complete copy of such Memorandum and Bye-laws is attached as Schedule “J” to this Information Circular. Shareholders of a Bermuda company are often referred to as “members”.

The minimum protections afforded to shareholders of a Bermuda company under the Bermuda Act are, in certain respects described below, less favourable to shareholders than the comparable protections afforded to shareholders of an Ontario Act corporation.

6


Shareholder Voting Rights

Under the Ontario Act, unless the by-laws otherwise provide, the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders, present in person or by proxy, constitute a quorum. The quorum requirement in the bylaws of Cronus Resources for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is at least two persons holding or representing by proxy not less than 5% of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting. Under the Ontario Act, cumulative voting is only permitted in the election of directors if the articles of a corporation provide for it. The articles of Cronus Resources do not provide for such cumulative voting.

Under the Bermuda Act, the quorum for a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of a resolution of shareholders is that fixed by the bye-laws of a company. The quorum for a meeting of shareholders of Amalco will be two registered shareholders present in person or by proxy. Bermuda law does not provide for cumulative voting on any matter.

Special Meeting of Shareholders

Under the Ontario Act, a special meeting of shareholders may be called by the directors, and the registered holders or beneficial owners of not less than 5% of the issued shares of a corporation that carry the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held may requisition the directors to call a meeting of shareholders, but the beneficial owners of shares do not thereby acquire the direct right to vote at the meeting that is the subject of the requisition. Under the Ontario Act and the by-laws of Cronus Resources, notice of all meetings of shareholders of a corporation must be sent not less than 21 days and not more than 60 days before the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting, to each director and to the auditor of Cronus Resources. Under the Ontario Act and the by-laws of Cronus Resources, the directors may specify in a notice calling a meeting of shareholders a time not exceeding 48 hours (excluding Saturdays and holidays) preceding any meeting or adjourned meeting of shareholders before which time proxies to be used at such meeting must be deposited.

Under the Bermuda Act, a company’s directors may convene, as may such person or persons as may be authorized by the bye-laws to call, a meeting. The provisions for notice of meetings and the time for deposit of proxies will be included in the Bye-laws of Amalco.

Under the Ontario Act, the vote of shareholders required to pass a resolution is typically a majority or two-thirds of the votes cast on the resolution, depending upon the action being voted upon. A “special resolution” is a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of that resolution, or signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution. Matters requiring approval by special resolution include amendments to the articles, approval of an amalgamation agreement, authorizing continuance in another jurisdiction, adopting an arrangement, authorizing the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the corporation’s assets, authorizing the voluntary liquidation and dissolution of the corporation, authorizing a reduction of stated capital and authorizing approval of additions to the stated capital. Matters requiring approval by a majority of the votes cast include confirmation, rejection or amendment of by-laws, election of directors, removal of directors, appointment of auditors and fixing the remuneration of the auditors.

Under the Bermuda Act, in addition to the election of directors, the approval of the shareholders of a company is required for, among other things, the following matters: (i) an amalgamation of the company, (ii) loans to a director, and (iii) alteration of bye-laws. A change in the number of directors of a company may require an amendment to the bye-laws and an amendment to a company’s bye-laws may only be effected by the company’s shareholders. An increase or reduction of capital, removal of directors, continuation under foreign law and voluntary winding up or dissolution shall be authorized by resolution of the company’s shareholders. Generally, the vote of shareholders required to pass resolutions approving matters is a simple majority of votes cast at a meeting (or such other percentage vote as is specified in the bye-laws). As a consequence, when Cronus Resources has been continued into Bermuda, certain actions by Cronus Resources that currently require shareholder approval under the Ontario Act will no longer require such approval, and the percentage vote of shareholders required to approve certain matters may be lower than the percentage vote of shareholders currently required to approve such matters.

7


Proposals of Shareholders

Under the Ontario Act, a registered holder of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders, or a beneficial owner of shares entitled to be voted at a meeting of shareholders, may submit to Cronus Resources’ notice of any proposal to be raised at the meeting. If Cronus Resources solicits proxies in connection with the meeting, Cronus Resources shall set out the proposal in the management information circular for the meeting provided that, among other things: (i) it is submitted at least 60 days before the anniversary of the date of the previous annual meeting if the matter is proposed to be raised at an annual meeting, or at least 60 days before a meeting after the annual meeting, if the matter is proposed to be raised at a meeting other than an annual meeting, (ii) it has not been submitted in the last two years and was not defeated, or (iii) the right to submit a proposal is not being abused to enforce a personal claim or redress a personal grievance against the corporation or its directors, officers or securityholders. A proposal may include nominations for the election of directors if it is signed by holders of not less than 5% of the shares or 5% of the shares of a class of shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting.

There is no identical provision in the Bermuda Act. However, the Bye-laws will provide that shareholders holding at least 10% of the outstanding common shares may request the directors to call a meeting of shareholders.

Consent of Shareholders in Lieu of Meeting

Under the Ontario Act, a resolution in writing signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of shareholders is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of the shareholders.

Under the Bermuda Act, subject to any limitations in the bye-laws of a company, any action that may be taken by the shareholders at a meeting may also be taken by a resolution of shareholders consented to in writing. Subject to a company’s bye-laws, such a written resolution may be validly passed, if consented to in writing by shareholders holding shares to which are attached such majority of the votes as would be required if the resolution had been voted on at a meeting of the shareholders.

Inspection Rights

Under the Ontario Act, a shareholder of a corporation and the shareholder’s agents and legal representatives have the right to inspect copies of the following during the usual business hours of the corporation, free of charge: (i) the articles and the by-laws and all amendments thereto, and a copy of any unanimous shareholder agreement known to the directors; (ii) minutes of meetings and resolutions of shareholders; (iii) a register of directors in which are set out the names and residence addresses, while directors, including the street and number, if any, of all persons who are or have been directors of the corporation with the several dates on which each became or ceased to be a director; and (iv) a securities register. A shareholder has the right to obtain, free of charge, one copy of the articles, by-laws and unanimous shareholders’ agreement of a corporation, including amendments. Applicants who are shareholders of an Ontario corporation, their agents and legal representatives and, where the corporation is a distributing corporation, any other person, may require the corporation to furnish a shareholder list to the applicant upon payment of a reasonable fee and delivery of a statutory declaration as to the name and address of the applicant and to the effect that such list will not be used except in connection with an effort to influence voting by shareholders of the corporation, an offer to acquire shares of the corporation or any other matter relating to the affairs of the corporation. In addition, under the Ontario Act, a securityholder of a corporation may apply to the Ontario Court for an order directing that an investigation be made of a corporation or of any affiliated corporation.

Under the Bermuda Act, a shareholder of a company may request in writing to inspect during normal business hours the share register and the register of directors and officers of the company, minutes of general meetings of the company and to receive copies of the same. Upon refusal of the request, the shareholder may apply to the Bermuda Court for an order allowing inspection.

Dividends and Repurchases of Shares

Under the Ontario Act, the directors may declare and the corporation may pay a dividend by issuing fully paid shares of the corporation and, subject to the solvency test described in the following sentence, a corporation may pay a dividend in money or property. The directors are prohibited from declaring and the corporation is prohibited from paying a dividend if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the corporation is or, after the payment would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or the realizable value of the corporation’s assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its stated capital of all classes. The Ontario Act also permits a corporation, subject to its articles, to purchase or otherwise acquire any of its issued shares, provided that no payment to purchase or otherwise acquire shares issued by it may be made unless the solvency test described above is satisfied at the time of, and after, such payment.

8


Under the Bermuda Act, subject to any limitations or provisions to the contrary in the memorandum of association and bye-laws of a company, a company may, by resolution of directors, declare and pay dividends in money, shares or other property. Dividends may only be declared if the directors are satisfied that the company is able to satisfy the solvency test set out in the Bermuda Act.

Under the Ontario Act, a corporation may, subject to its articles and to the solvency test mentioned below, purchase or redeem any redeemable shares issued by it at prices not exceeding the redemption price thereof stated in the articles or calculated according to a formula stated in the articles. However, a corporation may not make any payment to purchase or redeem any redeemable shares issued by it if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the corporation is or, after the payment, would be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or after the payment, the realizable value of the corporation’s assets would be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and the amount that would be required to pay the holders of shares who have a right to be paid, on a redemption or in a liquidation, rateably with or prior to the holders of the shares to be purchased or redeemed.

Under the Bermuda Act, a company may only redeem its shares if permitted to do so by its memorandum of association and bye-laws, and if a solvency test similar to the test applicable under the Ontario Act is satisfied.

Authority to Issue Shares

The Ontario Act requires that any maximum number of shares which a corporation has the authority to issue be specified in its articles. The articles of Cronus Resources currently authorize Cronus Resources to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares.

The Bermuda Act requires that the amount of shares that a company has authority to issue must be stated and specified in its memorandum of association. Pursuant to the Continuance and Amalgamation, the Bye-laws will provide that Amalco will be authorized to issue 500,000,000 Amalco Shares.

Amendments to Governing Instruments

Under the Ontario Act, any change to the articles of a corporation must be approved by special resolution, other than a change in the corporation’s name from a number name to a verbal name. If a proposed amendment requires approval by special resolution, the holders of shares of a class (or of a series of a class, if the proposed amendment would affect such series differently from the other series of shares of such class) are entitled to vote separately as a class or series if the proposed amendment affects the class or series as specified in the Ontario Act, whether or not the class or series otherwise carries the right to vote.

Under the Ontario Act, unless the articles, bylaws or a unanimous shareholder agreement otherwise provide, the Board of Directors of a corporation may make, amend or repeal by-laws provided that any such by-law, amendment or repeal of a by law must be confirmed at the next meeting of shareholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote thereat. Any by-law or amendment is effective when made by the Board of Directors but ceases to be effective if not confirmed by the shareholders.

Under the Bermuda Act, a Bermuda company may amend its memorandum of association or bye-laws by a resolution of shareholders which is passed by a simple majority of the total number of votes attaching to all shares held by shareholders voting in person or by proxy at the meeting, or by a resolution in writing signed by an absolute majority of the shareholders entitled to vote on such resolution.

Director Qualifications

The board of directors of an Ontario Act corporation that is a distributing corporation whose shares are held by more than one person must consist of at least three individuals, at least two of whom are not officers or employees of the corporation or its affiliates. At least ¼ of the directors of an Ontario Act corporation must be resident Canadians.

Under Bermuda law, the number of directors may be fixed by the bye-laws of a company and subject to any limitation in the bye-laws of a company, the bye-laws may be amended to change the number of directors, and any amendment may only be effected by the company’s shareholders. A Bermuda company must have at least two directors. The Bye-laws will provide that Amalco’s board of directors shall consist of at least three individuals and no more than fifteen individuals.

Term of the Board of Directors

Where the articles or a unanimous shareholder agreement of a corporation so provide, the Ontario Act permits, but does not require, that directors may be elected at a meeting of shareholders for different terms of up to three years. The by-laws of Cronus Resources provide that at each annual meeting of shareholders, all the directors then in office shall retire but, if qualified, shall be eligible for re-election.

The Bermuda Act does not require that the directors elected at a meeting of shareholders be elected for different terms. Amalco’s Bye-laws will provide that the directors shall be elected annually.

Removal of Directors

Under the Ontario Act, other than where cumulative voting applies for the election of directors and subject to a unanimous shareholder agreement, the shareholders of a corporation may by ordinary resolution at an annual meeting remove any director or directors from office. Where the holders of any class or series of shares of a corporation have an exclusive right to elect one or more directors, a director so elected may only be removed by an ordinary resolution at a meeting of the shareholders of that class or series.

Under the Bermuda Act, subject to any limitation in the bye-laws of a company, a director may be removed from office by a resolution of shareholders passed at a special general meeting provided that he receives at least fourteen days’ notice of such meeting and he is entitled to be heard at it.

Vacancies on the Board of Directors

Under the Ontario Act, a quorum of directors may fill a vacancy among the directors, except for the following vacancies, which must be filled by the shareholders: (i) a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number or minimum number of directors, and (ii) a vacancy resulting from a failure to elect the number or minimum number of directors required by the articles of a corporation.

Under the Bermuda Act, subject to any limitations in a company’s bye-laws, a vacancy among the directors may be filled by a resolution of shareholders or, if authorized by the shareholders, by a majority of the remaining directors.

Fiduciary Duties of Directors

Directors of corporations incorporated or organized under the Ontario Act and of Bermuda companies have fiduciary obligations to the company. Pursuant to these fiduciary obligations, the directors must act in accordance with the so-called duties of “due care” and “loyalty”.

The Ontario Act provides that every director and officer of a corporation governed by that Act, in exercising his or her powers and discharging his or her duties shall act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation, and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Every director and officer of a corporation governed by the Ontario Act must comply with the provisions of that Act, the regulations thereunder, and the articles and by-laws and any unanimous shareholder agreement of such corporation. No provision in a contract, the articles, the by-laws or any resolution relieves a director or officer from the duty to act in accordance with the Ontario Act or the regulations thereunder, or relieves him or her of liability for a breach of either, except where an unanimous shareholder agreement restricts the powers of the directors to manage the business and affairs of a corporation in which case the shareholders incur the liabilities of the directors to the extent to which said powers are restricted and the directors are thereby relieved of their duties and liabilities.

10


The Bermuda Act provides that every officer of a company incorporated under the Bermuda Act in performing his functions, shall act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Common law duties also apply to directors of Bermuda companies.

Conflict of Interest of Directors and Officers

Subject to certain specified exceptions, the Ontario Act restricts interested directors from voting on any transactions in which such director has an interest. Interested directors and officers must disclose in writing to the corporation or request to have entered in the minutes of meetings of directors the nature and extent of their interest.

Under Bermuda law, a director will be deemed not to be acting honestly and in good faith if he fails to disclose at the first opportunity, at a meeting of the board or in writing, his interest in any material contract or his material interest in any person that is a party to a material contract.

Amalco's Bye-laws will provide that a director who has, direct or indirect, interest in a contract or proposed contract, transaction or arrangement with Amalco, will not be entitled to vote in respect of any such contract, transaction or arrangement in which he is so interested.

Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Others

The Ontario Act permits indemnification of a director or officer, a former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the corporation is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his or her heirs and legal representatives (an “Indemnifiable Person”), against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or body corporate, if: (i) he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation, and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. The by-laws of Cronus provide for such indemnification.

Under the Ontario Act, a corporation may also, with the approval of the Ontario Court, indemnify an Indemnifiable Person in respect of an action by or on behalf of the corporation or body corporate to procure a judgment in its favour, to which the person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or an officer of the corporation or body corporate, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action if he or she fulfills the conditions set out in clauses (i) and (ii) above. In any event, an indemnifiable person is entitled to indemnity from the corporation in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative investigative action or other proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation of the body corporate, if the indemnifiable person was not judged by a court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done, fulfills the conditions set out in clauses (i) and (ii) above, and is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.

The directors, secretary and other officers of a Bermuda company may be indemnified and secured harmless out of the assets of such company from and against all actions, costs, charges, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses which they or any of the, their heirs, executors or administrators, shall or may incur or sustain by or by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the execution of the company’s business, or their duty, or supposed duty, or in their respective offices or trusts. However, the indemnity described above shall not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty which may attach to any of the persons described above, in which case it would be rendered void and unenforceable.

11


Director Liability

Under the Ontario Act, directors who vote for or consent to a resolution authorizing the issue of a share of a corporation for consideration other than money are jointly and severally liable to the corporation to make good any amount by which the consideration received by the corporation is less than the fair equivalent of the money that the corporation would have received if the share had been issued for money on the date of the resolution, provided that a director is not liable pursuant to the foregoing if he proves he did not know and could not reasonably have known that the share was issued for consideration less than the fair equivalent of the money that the corporation would have received had the share been issued for money. In addition, directors who vote or consent to certain resolutions involving payments or distributions by the corporation contrary to the Ontario Act are jointly and severally liable to restore to the corporation any amounts so paid and the value of any property so distributed and not otherwise recovered by the corporation, unless, in the case of financial assistance by the corporation in contravention of the Ontario Act, the director proves he did not know and could not reasonably have known that the financial assistance was given contrary to the Ontario Act. The Ontario Act does not otherwise permit the substantive limitation of a director’s liability for breach of fiduciary obligations to the corporation, whether through the articles or otherwise.

The Bermuda Act does not permit the limitation of a director’s liability for breach of fiduciary obligations to the company of which he is a director, whether through the bye-laws or otherwise.

Stockholders’ Suits

Under the Ontario Act, a current or former registered or beneficial securityholder may apply to the Ontario Court for leave to bring an action in the name of and on behalf of a corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or intervene in an action to which any such body corporate is a party, for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or discontinuing the action on behalf of the body corporate. The Ontario Court must be satisfied that the complainant has given reasonable notice to the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary of his intention to apply to court, the directors of the corporation or its subsidiaries will not bring, diligently prosecute, defend or discontinue the action, that the complainant is acting in good faith and that it appears to be in the interests of the corporation or its subsidiaries that the action be brought, prosecuted, defended or discontinued.

The Ontario Act provides that the Ontario Court in a derivative action may make any order it thinks fit including, without limitation; (i) an order authorizing the complainant or any other person to control the conduct of the action; (ii) an order giving directions for the conduct of the action; (iii) an order directing that any amount adjudged payable by a defendant in the action shall be paid, in whole or in part, directly to the former and present securityholders of the corporation or its subsidiary instead of to the corporation or its subsidiary; and (iv) an order requiring the corporation or its subsidiary to pay reasonable legal fees incurred by the complainant in connection with the action.

Class actions and derivative actions are generally not available to shareholders under Bermuda law. The Bermuda Court, however, would ordinarily be expected to permit a shareholder appearing in the register of shareholders to commence an action in the name of a company to remedy a wrong to the company where the act complained of is alleged to be beyond the corporate power of the company or is illegal or would result in the violation of the company’s memorandum of association or bye-laws. Furthermore, consideration would be given by the Bermuda Court to acts that are alleged to constitute a fraud against the minority shareholders or, for instance, where an act requires the approval of a greater percentage of the company’s shareholders than that which actually approved it.

Oppression Remedy

The Ontario Act provides an oppression remedy that enables the Ontario Court to make any order, both interim and final, to rectify the matters complained of, if the court is satisfied upon the application by a complainant that: (i) any act or omission of a corporation or an affiliate effects or threatens to effect a result; (ii) the business or affairs of a corporation or an affiliate are or have been carried on or conducted in a manner; or (iii) the powers of the directors of a corporation or an affiliate are, have been or are threatened to be exercised in a manner that is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to, or unfairly disregards the interest of, any security holder, creditor, director or officer of the corporation. A complainant means (i) a registered holder or beneficial owner, or a former registered holder or beneficial owner, of a security of a corporation or any of its affiliates; (ii) a director or an officer or a former director of officer of a corporation or of any of its affiliates; or (iii) any other person who, in the discretion of the court, is a proper person to make such application.

12


Because of the breadth of conduct which can be complained of and the scope of the Ontario Court’s remedial powers, the oppression remedy is very flexible and is sometimes relied upon to safeguard the interests of shareholders and other complainants with a substantial interest in the corporation. Under the Ontario Act, it is not necessary to prove that the directors of a corporation acted in bad faith in order to seek an oppression remedy. Furthermore, the Ontario Court may order the corporation to pay the interim expenses of a complainant seeking an oppression remedy, but the complainant may be held accountable for such interim costs on final disposition of the complaint (as in the case of a derivative action).

When the affairs of a company are being conducted in a manner which is oppressive or prejudicial to the interests of some part of the shareholders, a shareholder appearing in the register of shareholders may apply to the Bermuda Court, which may make such order as it sees fit, including an order regulating the conduct of the company’s affairs in the future or ordering the purchase of the shares of any shareholders by other shareholders or by the company.

Reorganizations, Mergers, Extraordinary Transactions

The Ontario Act provides that certain extraordinary corporate actions, such as certain amalgamations, any continuance, and sales, leases or exchanges of all or substantially all of the property of a corporation other than in the ordinary course of business, and other extraordinary corporate actions such as liquidations, dissolutions and arrangements, are to be approved by special resolution. In certain cases, a special resolution to approve an extraordinary corporate action is also required to be approved separately by the holders of a class or a series of shares.

Under Bermuda law, the approval of the shareholders of a Bermuda company is required for, among other things (i) a shareholders’ voluntary winding-up of the company and (ii) the amalgamation of a company. The vote of shareholders required to pass a resolution approving (a) a voluntary winding-up, is a simple majority of votes cast at a meeting (or such other percentage vote as is specified in the bye-laws) or (b) an amalgamation of a company, is a 75% majority of votes cast at a meeting (or such other percentage vote as is specified in the bye-laws).

Such matters as take-over bids, issuer bids or self tenders, going-private transactions and transactions with directors, officers, significant shareholders and other related parties to which Cronus Resources is a party are subject to regulation by Canadian provincial securities legislation and administrative policies and rules of Canadian securities administrators. Such legislation and administrative policies and rules will continue to apply to Amalco after the Continuance and the Amalgamation. Such legislation and administrative policies and rules may impose shareholder approval requirements in addition to the foregoing.

Dissent and Appraisal Rights

The Ontario Act provides that the shareholders of an Ontario corporation entitled to vote on certain matters are entitled to exercise dissent rights and to be paid the fair value of their shares in connection therewith. The Ontario Act does not distinguish for this purpose between listed and unlisted shares. Such matters include: (i) an amendment to its articles to add, remove or change restrictions on the issue, transfer or ownership of shares of a class or series of the shares of the corporation; (ii) an amendment to its articles to add, remove or change any restriction upon the business or businesses that the corporation may carry on; (iii) any amalgamation with another corporation (other than certain affiliated corporations); (iv) a continuance under the laws of another jurisdiction; (v) the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all its property other than in the ordinary course of business; (vi) a court order permitting a shareholder to dissent in connection with an application to the Ontario Court for an order approving an arrangement proposed by the corporation; or (vii) certain amendments to the articles of a corporation which require a separate class or series vote. Although formal rights of dissent are not afforded to shareholders on a take-over bid, rights that are substantively similar to dissent rights are available to the offerees of a take-over bid. When a successful take-over bid occurs and the offeree does not accept such bid, such offeree may, amongst other things, demand payment of the fair value of his, her or its shares by notifying the offeror and applying to the Ontario Court to fix the fair value of such shares.

13


Dissent rights may be granted by the Ontario Court in connection with a court approved arrangement of a corporation as the Ontario Court may make any order that it sees fit. Typically, dissent rights are granted by the Ontario Court when the arrangement is effecting an act that could be completed under another provision of the Ontario Act but is impracticable to do so and such act would give rise to dissent rights under that other provision.

A properly dissenting shareholder is also entitled to elect to receive the appraised value of his or her shares in connection with certain compulsory acquisitions, as described below under the heading “Compulsory Acquisition”.

As described in this Information Circular, the Bermuda Act provides that the shareholders of a Bermuda company are entitled, by application to the Bermuda Court, to exercise dissent rights and to be paid the fair value of their shares in connection with any amalgamation with another company. Further, the shareholders of a Bermuda company are entitled, by application to the Bermuda Court, to exercise dissent rights in the event of a compulsory acquisition of shares in the circumstances described under the subheading “Compulsory Acquisition” below.

Compulsory Acquisition

Under the Ontario Act, where over 90% of the shares of a corporation (other than shares held at the date of the bid by or on behalf of the bidder or an affiliate or associate of the bidder) are acquired pursuant to a take-over bid or issuer bid, the bidder, by complying with the provisions of the Ontario Act, can force the non-tendering shareholders to either sell their shares on the same terms as the tendering shareholders, or to demand payment from the corporation of the fair value of their securities in exchange for the surrender of their securities to the corporation.

Pursuant to the Bermuda Act, where a scheme or contract involving the transfer of shares of a Bermuda company has been approved by the holders of 90% of the shares, the offeror can then give notice in the prescribed form to any dissenting shareholder(s) and, unless on an application made by the dissenting shareholder (within one month from the date on which the notice was given) the Bermuda Court thinks fit to order otherwise, the offeror shall be entitled and bound to acquire the holdings of the dissenting shareholder(s).

Pursuant to the Bermuda Act, a holder(s) of 95% of the shares of a Bermuda company can, on giving notice to the minority shareholders, force them to sell their interest to the 95% holder(s) provided that the terms offered are the same for all of the holders of the shares whereupon the acquiring shareholder is bound to acquire the outstanding shares on the terms set out in the notice. The 5% shareholders can apply to the Bermuda Court for an appraisal of their shares, and to be paid the fair value of their shares.

Transferability of Shares

Unless the articles of a corporation contain a restriction on the transfer of shares, under the Ontario Act, shares are presumed to be freely transferable. Cronus Resource’s articles do not contain any restriction on the transfer of shares.

Subject to any limitations or provisions to the contrary in its bye-laws, registered shares of a company incorporated under the Bermuda Act may be transferred by a written instrument of transfer signed by the transferor and containing the name and address of the transferee. In the absence of a written instrument of transfer, the directors may accept such evidence of a transfer of shares as they consider appropriate. The Amalco bye-laws will not contain restrictions on the transfer of common shares.

Return of Capital on Winding-Up, Liquidation or Dissolution

Under the Ontario Act, the holders of common shares have the right to receive the remaining property of a corporation on dissolution.

Under the Bermuda Act, shareholders are entitled to the surplus assets of a company on liquidation, subject to the rights attached to those shares as set out in the bye-laws.

14


Borrowing Powers

Unless the articles, bylaws or a unanimous shareholders agreement relating to a corporation otherwise provide, the Ontario Act provides that the directors of a corporation may, without authorization of the shareholders, (a) borrow money on the credit of the corporation, (b) issue, reissue, sell or pledge debt obligations of the corporation, (c) give a guarantee on behalf of the corporation to secure performance of an obligation of any person, and (d) mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise create a security interest in all or any property of the corporation, owned or subsequently acquired, to secure any obligation of the corporation. The articles and by-laws of Cronus Resources do not restrict these powers of the directors, nor is the Corporation subject to a unanimous shareholders agreement.

Under the Bermuda Act directors have similar powers, unless provided otherwise in the memorandum of association or bye-laws. The Memorandum and Bye-laws of Amalco will not restrict such powers and Amalco will not be subject to a unanimous shareholders agreement upon Continuance.

Service of Process

Certain of the proposed directors and officers of Amalco reside outside of Canada. Substantially all of the assets of these persons and of Cronus Resources may be located outside of Canada. Although Cronus Resources will appoint an agent for service of process in Ontario, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within Ontario upon the directors and officers referred to above. It may also not be possible to enforce against Cronus Resources and its directors and officers judgments obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable securities laws in Canada. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer”.

Shareholder Approval

MANAGEMENT OF CRONUS RESOURCES INTENDS TO PLACE BEFORE THE CRONUS RESOURCES MEETING, FOR APPROVAL, WITH OR WITHOUT MODIFICATION, THE RESOLUTION AS MORE PARTICULARLY SET FORTH IN SCHEDULE "A" ATTACHED HERETO RELATING TO THE CONTINUANCE.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Ontario Act, the Continuance must be approved by a special resolution of holders of Cronus Resources Shares consisting of a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast. If the Continuance Resolution does not receive the necessary approvals from Cronus Resources Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the Cronus Shareholder Meeting, Cronus Resources and Continental Gold will not proceed with the Amalgamation. In such event, the board of directors of both corporations may reconsider the transaction in the hope of restructuring it in a form that will be satisfactory to Cronus Resources Shareholders and Continental Gold Shareholders, and applicable regulatory authorities.

Even if the Continuance Resolution is approved, the board of directors of Cronus Resources retains the power to revoke it at all times without any further approval by the holders of the Cronus Shares. The Board of Directors will only exercise such power in the event that it is, in its opinion, in the best interest of Cronus Shares, notably in the event that the Amalgamation is not completed.

UNLESS INSTRUCTED OTHERWISE, THE MANAGEMENT DESIGNEES OF CRONUS RESOURCES IN THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUMENTS OF PROXY INTEND TO VOTE FOR THE CONTINUANCE RESOLUTION.

Rights of Dissenting Shareholders

Registered Cronus Resources Shareholders are entitled to dissent from the Continuance Resolution in the manner provided in section 185 of the Ontario Act. Section 185 of the Ontario Act is reprinted in its entirety and attached to this Circular at Schedule H. The following summary is qualified by the provisions of section 185 of the Ontario Act.

15


The obligation of Cronus Resources to complete the Amalgamation is subject to the condition that the holders of not more than 5% of the outstanding Cronus Resources Shares exercise their Dissent Rights with respect to the Continuance Resolution.

In the event the Continuance Resolution becomes effective, a Dissenting Shareholder who complies with section 185 of the Ontario Act will be entitled to be paid by Amalco the fair value of the Cronus Resources Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder determined as at the Effective Time on the Effective Date.

A registered Cronus Resources Shareholder who wishes to exercise Dissent Rights must send a Dissent Notice to Cronus Resources, such that it is received by Cronus Resources not later than 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the day of the Cronus Resources Meeting (or any postponement or adjournment thereof), at Cronus Resources Ltd. c/o Fogler Rubinoff LLP 95 Wellington Street West, Suite 1200, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Z9, Attention: Eric Roblin.

Persons who are beneficial owners of the Cronus Resources Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that only a registered Cronus Resources Shareholder is entitled to dissent. A Cronus Resources Shareholder who beneficially owns the Cronus Resources Shares but is not the registered holder thereof, should contact the registered holder for assistance.

The filing of a Dissent Notice does not deprive a Cronus Resources Shareholder of the right to vote; however, the Ontario Act provides, in effect, that a Cronus Resources Shareholder who has submitted a Dissent Notice and who votes in favour of the Continuance Resolution will no longer be considered a Dissenting Shareholder with respect to the Cronus Resources Shares voted in favour of the Continuance Resolution. The Ontario Act does not provide, and Cronus Resources will not assume, that a vote against the Continuance Resolution constitutes a Dissent Notice. In addition, the execution or exercise of a proxy does not constitute a Dissent Notice. Under the Ontario Act, there is no right of partial dissent and, accordingly, a Dissenting Shareholder may only dissent with respect to all Cronus Resources Shares held on behalf of any one beneficial owner that are registered in the name of the Dissenting Shareholder.

Amalco is required, within 10 days after the Cronus Resources Shareholders adopt the Continuance Resolution, to send to each registered Cronus Resources Shareholder who has filed a Dissent Notice, notice that the Continuance Resolution has been adopted, but such notice is not required to be sent to any registered Cronus Resources Shareholder who voted for the Continuance Resolution or who has withdrawn such Dissent Notice.

A Dissenting Shareholder must then, within 20 days after the Dissenting Shareholder receives notice that the Continuance Resolution has been adopted or, if the Dissenting Shareholder does not receive such notice, within 20 days after the Dissenting Shareholder learns that the Continuance Resolution has been adopted, send to Cronus Resources a written notice (a “Payment Demand”) containing the name and address of the Dissenting Shareholder, the number of Cronus Resources Shares in respect of which the Dissenting Shareholder dissents and a demand for payment of the fair value of such Cronus Resources Shares. Within 30 days after a Payment Demand, the Dissenting Shareholder must send to Cronus Resources or the Depositary, the certificates representing the Cronus Resources Shares in respect of which such Payment Demand was made. A Dissenting Shareholder who fails to send the certificates representing the Cronus Resources Shares in respect of which the Dissent Right has been exercised has no right to make a claim under section 185 of the Ontario Act. Cronus Resources or the Depositary will endorse on share certificates received from a Dissenting Shareholder a notice that the holder is a Dissenting Shareholder and will forthwith return the share certificates to the Dissenting Shareholder.

On sending a Payment Demand to Cronus Resources, a Dissenting Shareholder ceases to have any rights as a Cronus Resources Shareholder, other than the right to be paid the fair value of the Cronus Resources Shares in respect of which such Payment Demand was made, except pursuant to the provisions of section 185 of the Ontario Act.

Amalco is required, not later than seven days after the later of the Effective Date or the date on which Amalco or Cronus Resources received the Payment Demand of a Dissenting Shareholder, to send to each Dissenting Shareholder who has sent a Payment Demand a written offer to pay (an “Offer to Pay”) for the Cronus Resources Shares in respect of which such Payment Demand was made in an amount considered by the board of directors of Amalco to be the fair value thereof, accompanied by a statement showing the manner in which the fair value was determined. Every Offer to Pay must be on the same terms. Amalco is required to pay for the Cronus Resources Shares of a Dissenting Shareholder within 10 days after an Offer to Pay has been accepted by a Dissenting Shareholder, but any such Offer to Pay lapses if Amalco does not receive an acceptance thereof within 30 days after the Offer to Pay has been made.

16


If Amalco fails to make an Offer to Pay for the Cronus Resources Shares of a Dissenting Shareholder, or if a Dissenting Shareholder fails to accept an offer that has been made, Amalco may, within 50 days after the Effective Date or within such further period as the Ontario Court may allow, apply to the Ontario Court to fix a fair value for the Cronus Resources Shares of Dissenting Shareholders. If Amalco fails to apply to the Ontario Court, a Dissenting Shareholder may apply to the Ontario Court for the same purpose within a further period of 20 days or within such further period as the Ontario Court may allow. A Dissenting Shareholder is not required to give security for costs in such an application.

Upon an application to the Ontario Court, all Dissenting Shareholders whose Cronus Resources Shares have not been purchased by Amalco will be joined as parties and bound by the decision of the Ontario Court and Amalco will be required to notify each affected Dissenting Shareholder of the date, place and consequences of the application and of the right of such Dissenting Shareholder to appear and be heard in person or by counsel. Upon any such application to the Ontario Court, the Ontario Court may determine whether any person is a Dissenting Shareholder who should be joined as a party and the Ontario Court will then fix a fair value for the Cronus Resources Shares of all Dissenting Shareholders. The final order of the Ontario Court will be rendered against Amalco in favour of each Dissenting Shareholder and for the amount of the fair value of each Dissenting Shareholder’s Cronus Resources Shares as fixed by the Ontario Court. The Ontario Superior Court may, in its discretion, allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each Dissenting Shareholder from the Effective Date until the date of payment.

The foregoing is only a summary of the provisions of section 185 of the Ontario Act, which provisions are technical and complex. It is suggested that any Cronus Resources Shareholder wishing to exercise Dissent Rights seek legal advice as failure to comply strictly with the provisions of the Ontario Act may prejudice such Shareholder’s Dissent Rights. For a general summary of certain income tax implications to a Dissenting Shareholder, see "Part II – Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meetings – Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” of this Information Circular.

THE AMALGAMATION

Background to the Amalgamation

In 2007, the Board of Directors of Cronus Resources instructed management to explore growth alternatives that included mergers with other mineral exploration companies with a view to becoming a larger and more diverse company. Since May 2009, Ari B. Sussman, President and Chief, Executive Officer of Cronus Resources and Robert W. Allen, founder of Continental Gold, met on several occasions for the purpose of exploring a potential strategic transaction involving Cronus Resources and Continental Gold.

Management of Cronus Resources has reviewed the current business and affairs of Cronus Resources with a view to enhancing shareholder value. Continental Gold, a Bermuda incorporated company, is engaged in mineral exploration and development in Colombia, South America. Continental Gold has a 100% interest in nine precious and base metal exploration properties in Colombia covering approximately 200,000 hectares.

Management of Continental Gold have sought to find a corporation to amalgamate with Continental Gold that is recognized as a "reporting issuer" under Canadian securities laws in order to complete a going public transaction. Cronus Resources is a "reporting issuer" under Canadian securities laws with Cronus Resources Shares listed on the TSXV under the trading symbol “CRZ”, and thereby meets this requirement. In addition, Cronus Resources has capital market expertise and South American mineral resource exploration and development expertise, as well as ownership of a large land package surrounding the historical high-grade San Juan Gold/Silver Mine in Baja, Mexico.

17


On September 11, 2009, Cronus Resources and Continental Gold entered into a non-binding letter of intent setting forth the framework for a transaction and providing each other with a due diligence period during which the parties granted each other access to certain confidential information and the opportunity to conduct preliminary due diligence. On October 9, 2009 the parties entered into an amended and restated letter of intent which, among other things, extended the due diligence period. Cronus Resources also publicly announced the proposed transaction at that time.

Cronus Resources and Continental Gold negotiated the fundamental terms and conditions of the proposed business combination while each of them conducted due diligence on the other with respect to operations, properties and title reviews. The result of negotiations was the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement.

The Pre-Amalgamation Agreement was entered into with an effective date of November 9, 2009.

On February 17, 2010, the Board of Directors of Cronus Resources approved this Information Circular, reaffirmed its recommendation, and authorized Cronus Resources to convene the Cronus Resources Meeting. On February 17, 2010, the Board of Directors of Continental Gold approved this Information Circular, reaffirmed its recommendation, and authorized Continental Gold to convene the Continental Gold Meeting.

Summary of the Amalgamation

It is proposed that Cronus Resources complete an arm's length reverse takeover, pursuant to which Cronus Resources has agreed to amalgamate with Continental Gold to form Amalco, a Bermuda company to be called "Continental Gold Limited" or such other name as is acceptable to Cronus Resources, Continental Gold and applicable regulators. Pursuant to the Amalgamation, each 2.35712 Cronus Resources Shares will be exchangeable for one (1) Amalco Share and each 2.69730 Continental Gold Shares will be exchangeable for one (1) Amalco Share. In addition, each 2.35712 Cronus Warrants will be exchangeable for one (1) Amalco Warrant, each 2.35712 Cronus Resources Stock Options will be exchanged for one (1) Amalco Stock Option, each 2.69730 Continental Gold Warrants will be exchangeable for one (1) Amalco Warrant, each 2.69730 Continental Gold Stock Options will be exchanged for one (1) Amalco Stock Option, and Continental Gold Financing Units and Continental Gold Compensation Units shall be issued pursuant to the Continental Gold Financing.

Cronus Resources and Continental Gold have entered into the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement pursuant to which Cronus Resources and Continental Gold have agreed to amalgamate under the Bermuda Act. The Pre-Amalgamation Agreement has been filed on www.sedar.com.

After completion of the Amalgamation, Amalco will have a total of 71,166,610 Amalco Shares, 21,320,003 Amalco Warrants, 2,513,607 Amalco Stock Options and 1,341,667 Amalco Financing Compensation Options issued and outstanding which includes securities issued pursuant to the Continental Gold Financing. After the completion of the Amalgamation, the holders of Cronus Resources Shares will own approximately 9.1% of the outstanding Amalco Shares, the holders of Continental Gold Shares will hold approximately 61.1% of the outstanding Amalco Shares, the holders of the Continental Gold Debentures will own approximately 2.8% of the outstanding Amalco Shares and the holders of the Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts will own approximately 27.0% of the outstanding Amalco Shares.

The successful completion of the Amalgamation will be a "Reverse Takeover" of Cronus Resources within the meaning of such term under applicable securities laws.

A full description of the background, history, business, affairs, management and share structure of Cronus Resources is contained in this Information Circular under the heading "Part III – Information Concerning Cronus Resources".

A full description of the background, history, business, affairs, management and share structure of Continental Gold is contained in this Information Circular under the heading "Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold".

The Pre-Amalgamation Agreement

Cronus Resources and Continental Gold have negotiated an arm's length Pre-Amalgamation Agreement to complete the Amalgamation of Cronus Resources and Continental Gold. The Pre-Amalgamation Agreement provides for the implementation, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, of the Amalgamation of Cronus Resources with Continental Gold. Pursuant to the Amalgamation, all of the Cronus Resources Shares and Continental Gold Shares, (other than those shares of Dissenting Shareholders which have been acquired upon receipt of the requisite shareholder approval), will be exchanged for Amalco Shares on the Closing Date and all of the assets of Cronus Resources and Continental Gold will become the assets of Amalco.

The number of Amalco Shares that each holder of Cronus Resources Shares and/or Continental Gold Shares will receive on completion of the Amalgamation has been negotiated and agreed to on an arm's-length basis and is specifically set out in the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement. As at the date of this Information Circular, Cronus Resources has 15,321,274 Cronus Resources Shares, 4,453,750 Cronus Resources Warrants and 943,750 Cronus Stock Options issued and outstanding, and Continental Gold has 117,332,400 Continental Gold Shares, 21,166,200 Continental Gold Warrants and 5,700,000 Continental Gold Stock Options issued and outstanding. In addition, Continental Gold completed the Continental Gold Financing pursuant to which Continental Gold issued 19,166,667 Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts at the price of CDN $1.50 per Continental Gold Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of CDN $28,750,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement:

Where a certificate representing Cronus Resources Shares, Continental Gold Shares or Amalco Shares has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the holder of such certificates should immediately contact Olympia Transfer Services Inc., the registrar and transfer agent of the Amalco Shares, so that arrangements can be made to issue a replacement share certificate to such holder upon such holder satisfying such reasonable requirements as may be imposed by Amalco in connection with the issue of such replacement share certificate.

Rights of Dissenting Shareholders

The rights of dissenting Cronus Resources Shareholders with respect to the Amalgamation are the same as for the Continuance, and are described under “Part II – Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meetings – Continuance – Rights of Dissenting Shareholders”.

Any holder of Continental Gold Shares is entitled to be paid the fair value of such shares in accordance with section 106 of the Bermuda Act if the Continental Gold Shareholder does not vote in favour of the Amalgamation, and if the Amalgamation becomes effective. A holder of Continental Gold Shares is not entitled to object with respect to his Continental Gold Shares if he votes any of such shares in favour of the Amalgamation Resolution.

The following is a brief summary of section 106 of the Bermuda Act, the full text of which are attached as Schedule "H" to this Information Circular.

Any shareholder of a Bermuda company who did not vote in favour of the amalgamation and who is not satisfied that he has been offered fair value for his shares may within one month of the giving of the notice of the shareholder meeting apply to the Bermuda Court to appraise the fair value of his shares. Within one month of the Bermuda Court appraising the fair value of any shares the company shall be entitled either to pay to the dissenting shareholder an amount equal to the value of his shares as appraised by the Court, or to terminate the amalgamation. Where the Bermuda Court has appraised and the amalgamation has proceeded prior to the appraisal then, within one month of the Bermuda Court appraising the value of the shares, if the amount paid to the dissenting shareholder for his shares is less than that appraised by the Bermuda Court the amalgamated company shall pay to such shareholder the difference between the amount paid to him and the value appraised by the Bermuda Court. No appeal is available from an appraisal by the Bermuda Court. The costs of any application to the Bermuda Court under the dissent provisions are in the discretion of the Bermuda Court. An amalgamation agreement may provide that at any time before the issue of a certificate of amalgamation the agreement may be terminated by the directors of an amalgamating company, notwithstanding approval of the agreement by the shareholders of all or any of the amalgamating companies.

26


The foregoing summary does not purport to provide comprehensive statements of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of his Cronus Resources Shares or Continental Gold Shares. Section 185 of the Ontario Act and section 106 of the Bermuda Act require strict adherence to the procedures established therein and failure to do so may result in the loss of all dissenters' rights. Accordingly, each Shareholder who might desire to exercise the dissenters' rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of these sections, the full texts of which are set out in Schedule "H" to this Information Circular, and consult his legal adviser.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

IF THE CONTINUANCE RESOLUTION AND THE AMALGAMATION RESOLUTION ARE NOT APPROVED BY EITHER OF THE CRONUS RESOURCES SHAREHOLDERS OR THE CONTINENTAL GOLD SHAREHOLDERS, THE FOLLOWING ITEM RELATING TO THE CRONUS RESOURCES MEETING AND THE CONTINENTAL GOLD MEETING, BEING THE APPROVAL OF THE STOCK OPTION PLAN, WILL BE WITHDRAWN AND WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED AT THE MEETING.

Subject to approval of the Continuance Resolution and the Amalgamation Resolution by the Cronus Resources Shareholders and the Continental Gold Shareholders, the Cronus Resources Shareholders and the Continental Gold Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, to approve the Stock Option Plan Resolution, and to authorize Amalco’s board of directors to make any amendments thereto that may be required for the purpose of obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals. Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan Resolution, the Stock Option Plan (a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule “G”) will be the stock option plan for Amalco. If the Stock Option Plan is approved by Shareholders, the Amalco Stock Options will be subject to the terms of the Stock Option Plan. Cronus Resources has granted a total of 943,750 Cronus Resources Stock Options pursuant to the Cronus Resources stock option plan which will be exchanged for a total of 400,382 Amalco Stock Options pursuant to the Amalgamation. See “Part II – Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meetings – The Amalgamation” and “Part III-Information Concerning Cronus Resources – Executive Compensation”.

The Stock Option Plan provides for the acquisition of Amalco Shares by directors, officers, employees or Consultants (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) of Amalco, or any affiliated entity of Amalco, for the purpose of advancing the interests of Amalco through the motivation, attraction and retention of key employees and directors and to secure for Amalco and the shareholders of Amalco the benefits inherent in the ownership of Amalco Shares by key employees and directors, it being generally recognized that stock option plans can aid in attracting, retaining and encouraging employees and directors due to the opportunity offered to them to acquire a proprietary interest in such company.

The following information is intended to be a brief description of the Stock Option Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Stock Option Plan as set out in Schedule “G”, subject to any revisions or amendments deemed necessary by the board of directors of Amalco:

  (a)

The aggregate number of Amalco Shares which may be issued under the Stock Option Plan shall not exceed 10% (the “Plan Maximum”) of the aggregate number of Amalco Shares then issued and outstanding (calculated on a non-diluted basis). Based upon 71,166,610 Amalco Shares outstanding upon completion of the Amalgamation, 7,116,667 Amalco Shares may be reserved and set aside for issuance under the Stock Option Plan.

27



  (b)

The maximum number of Amalco Shares which may be reserved for issuance to insiders of Amalco pursuant to the Stock Option Plan at any given time, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Amalco Shares then outstanding.

The maximum number of Amalco Shares which may be issued to any one person or entity pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, within any one year period shall not exceed 5% of the total number of Amalco Shares then outstanding.

     
  (d)

Any Amalco Share subject to an option which has been granted under the Stock Option Plan and which has been cancelled, repurchased, expired or terminated in accordance with the terms of the Stock Option Plan without having been exercised will again be available under the Stock Option Plan. No fractional Amalco Shares shall be issued, and the board of directors of Amalco may determine the manner in which fractional share value shall be treated.

     
  (e)

The option price of any Amalco Shares in respect of which an option may be granted shall be fixed by the board of directors of Amalco but shall be not less than the volume weighted average trading price (calculated in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX) of the Amalco Shares on the TSX, or another stock exchange where the majority of the trading volume and value of the Amalco Shares occurs, for the five trading days immediately preceding the day the option is granted.

     
  (f)

Unless the board of directors of Amalco determines otherwise, options issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan will vest as follows: (i) one-third upon grant; (ii) one-third upon the first anniversary of the grant; and (iii) one-third on the second anniversary of the grant.

     
  (g)

Options granted under the Stock Option Plan may be exercisable over a period not exceeding ten (10) years.

     
  (h)

In the event of the Termination (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) with cause of an optionee, each option held by such optionee will cease to be exercisable on the earlier of the expiry of its term and the date of the Termination, or such longer or shorter period as determined by the board of directors of Amalco. In the event of the Termination without cause, or the retirement of an optionee, each option held by such optionee will cease to be exercisable within a period of 90 days after the date of the Termination or retirement date, as the case may be, or such longer or shorter period as determined by the board of directors of Amalco. No option shall remain outstanding for any period which exceeds the earlier of: (i) the expiry date of such option; and (ii) 36 months following the date of Termination or retirement date, as the case may be, of the optionees. If any portion of an option has not vested on the Termination or retirement date, as the case may be, the optionee may not, after the Termination date or retirement date, as the case may be, exercise such portion of the option which has not vested, provided that the board of Amalco may determine at any time, including for greater certainty at any time subsequent to the date of grant of the options, that such portion of the option vests automatically or pursuant to a vesting schedule determined by the board.

     
  (i)

In the event of death of an optionee, the legal representative of the optionee may exercise the option within a period after the date of the optionee’s death as determined by the board, provided that no option shall remain outstanding for any period which exceeds the earlier of (i) the expiry date of such option and (ii) 12 months following the date of the death of the optionee but only to the extent that the options were by their terms exercisable on the date of death.

Any such amendment shall be subject to all necessary regulatory approvals. The board of directors of Amalco will have the power to approve amendments relating to the Stock Option Plan or to options, without further approval of the shareholders of Amalco, which amendments relate to any of the following: i) amendments of a “housekeeping” or clerical nature; ii) a change to the vesting provisions of a security or the Stock Option Plan; iii) amendments to reflect any requirements of any regulatory authorities to which Amalco is subject, including the TSX; iv) a change to the termination provisions of a security or the Plan which does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date; v) acceleration of vesting upon a change of control and merger and acquisition (as defined in the Stock Option Plan); vi) determination of entitlements for the holders of options in the case of a transaction which results in change of control (as defined in the Stock Option Plan); vii) the addition of a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities, which provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying securities from the reserve under the Stock Option Plan; and viii) amendments to reflect changes to applicable laws or regulations.

  (m)

Where the expiry date for an option occurs during a “Blackout Period”, being an interval of time during which Amalco has determined that one or more participants may not trade any securities of Amalco because they may be in possession of confidential information pertaining to Amalco, the expiry date for such option shall be extended to the date that is 10 business days following the end of such Blackout Period.

The approval by Cronus Resources Shareholders and Continental Gold Shareholders requires a favourable vote of a majority of the Cronus Resources Shares and Continental Gold Shares voted in respect thereof at the respective shareholder meeting excluding the votes case by interested shareholders being those Cronus Resources Shareholders and Continental Gold Shareholders who currently hold Cronus Resources Stock Options and Continental Gold Stock Options or may be entitled to be granted options under the Stock Option Plan.

THE FOLLOWING ITEM OF BUSINESS RELATING TO THE ANNUAL MEETING OF CONTINENTAL GOLD, BEING THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS OF CONTINENTAL GOLD IS PART OF THE ANNUAL BUSINESS OF THE CONTINENTAL GOLD MEETING. IF THE AMALGAMATION RESOLUTION IS APPROVED BY CRONUS RESOURCES SHAREHOLDERS AND THE CONTINENTAL GOLD SHAREHOLDERS, AND THE AMALGAMATION BECOMES EFFECTIVE, THE DIRECTORS OF AMALCO WILL BE THOSE INDIVIDUALS SPECIFIED UNDER “PART IV –INFORMATION CONCERNING THE RESULTING ISSUER – DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS”.

29


Management of Cronus Resources and of Continental Gold do not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director. However, if a nominee should be unable to so serve for any reason prior to the Meetings, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy reserve the right to vote for another nominee in their discretion. Each director elected will hold office until the next annual meeting or until his successor is appointed, unless his office is earlier vacated in accordance with the Bermuda Act and the bye-laws of Continental Gold.

The management designees named in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy of Continental Gold intend, unless otherwise directed, to vote in favour of setting the number of directors of Continental Gold at six and the election, as directors, of the five nominees whose names are set forth under the heading "Part V –Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Directors, Officers and Promoters". In order to be effected, this resolution must be approved by a simple majority of the votes cast in respect thereof. In the case of two of the nominees, Messrs. Sussman and Anderson, their election will be effective upon the Amalgamation Resolution receiving requisite shareholder approval at the Continental Gold Meeting. It is anticipated that the board of directors of Amalco will fill the single vacancy on the board of directors immediately following the Continental Gold Meeting.

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

THE FOLLOWING ITEM OF BUSINESS RELATING TO THE ANNUAL MEETING OF CONTINENTAL GOLD, BEING THE APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS OF CONTINENTAL GOLD IS PART OF THE ANNUAL BUSINESS OF THE CONTINENTAL GOLD MEETING.

The management designees named in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy of Continental Gold intend, unless otherwise directed, to vote FOR the appointment of McGovern, Hurley, Cunningham, LLP, Chartered Accountants, Toronto, Ontario, as the auditors of Continental Gold to hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders and authorizing the directors to fix the remuneration of the auditors.

Pursuant to the change of auditor disclosure requirements of National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations, no reporting package will be produced with respect to the auditors of Amalco, as there is no obligation to produce a reporting package on the change of auditors of a reporting issuer where, in amongst other circumstances, the following three conditions are met: (i) the termination is in connection with an amalgamation, (ii) the termination has been disclosed in the Information Circular which is being delivered (by regular mail) to holders of Cronus Resources Shares and Continental Gold Shares, (iii) no “reportable event” (as defined in National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations) has occurred.

CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR HOLDERS OF CRONUS RESOURCES SHARES, CRONUS RESOURCES WARRANTS, CONTINENTAL GOLD SHARES AND CONTINENTAL GOLD WARRANTS

In the opinion of Fogler, Rubinoff LLP, the following is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) generally applicable in respect of the Continuance and the Amalgamation, as the case may be, to a holder of Cronus Resources Shares or Continental Gold Shares who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, is a resident of Canada, holds the Cronus Resources Shares, Cronus Resources Warrants, Continental Gold Shares, Continental Gold Warrants and Amalco Shares as capital property, deals at arm’s length with each of Cronus Resources, Continental Gold and Amalco, is not affiliated with Cronus Resources, Continental Gold or Amalco and to whom none of Cronus Resources, Continental Gold or Amalco is a foreign affiliate. This summary is not applicable to a holder which is a “financial institution” or a “specified financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act nor to a holder of an interest which is a tax shelter investment. Generally, securities will be considered to be capital property to the holder thereof unless they are held in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities or were acquired in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade.

30


This summary does not address the income tax considerations of exercising, cancelling or otherwise disposing of any options or warrants to acquire shares, nor does it address all issues relevant to Cronus Resources Shareholders or Continental Gold Shareholders who acquired shares on the exercise of options or warrants. This summary does not address the income tax consequences of exchanging Continental Gold Convertible Debentures for Amalco Shares and Amalco Debenture Warrants, nor the exchange of Cronus Resources Stock Options for Amalco Stock Options, nor the exchange of Continental Gold Stock Options for Amalco Stock Options. This summary also does not address the income tax consequences of exchanging Continental Gold Financing Receipts for Amalco Shares and Amalco Financing Warrants. This summary also does not address the income tax consequences to persons who are not resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act or any applicable income tax treaty. Such securityholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Amalgamation.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act, the Regulations thereunder, all proposed amendments to the Tax Act and Regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”) and counsel’s understanding of the administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) publicly available prior to the date of this Information Circular. Except for the Proposed Amendments, this summary does not take into account or anticipate any changes in the law or administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, nor does it take into account the tax law of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form currently proposed or at all.

This summary is based on the assumption that each of Cronus Resources and Continental Gold will not be at the time of the Amalgamation, a resident of Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act and that Amalco will not be a resident of Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act at any relevant time.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal, business or tax advice to any particular holder. Holders of Cronus Resources Shares and Continental Gold Shares should consult their own tax advisers to determine the tax consequences to them of the Amalgamation.

The Continuance

The Continuance of Cronus Resources from the Province of Ontario to Bermuda should not give rise to a taxable event to a holder of Cronus Resources Shares and Cronus Resources Warrants (other than a holder who exercises the dissent rights described under the heading “Part II – Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meetings – The Continuance –Rights of Dissenting Shareholders”).

The Amalgamation

A holder of Cronus Resources Shares or Continental Gold Shares who disposes of Cronus Resources Shares or Continental Gold Shares on the Amalgamation in exchange for Amalco Shares will generally be deemed to have disposed of such shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base of such shares immediately before the Amalgamation, thereby realizing neither a capital gain nor a capital loss by virtue of such disposition. Such a holder of Cronus Resources Shares or Continental Gold Shares will generally be deemed to have acquired the Amalco Shares at a cost equal to the adjusted cost base to the holder immediately before the Amalgamation of the Cronus Resources Shares or Continental Gold Shares, as the case may be.

A holder of Cronus Resources Warrants or Continental Gold Warrants who disposes of Cronus Resources Warrants or Continental Gold Warrants on the Amalgamation in exchange for Amalco Warrants will generally be deemed to have disposed of such warrants for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base of such warrants immediately before the Amalgamation, thereby realizing neither a capital gain nor a capital loss by virtue of such disposition. Such a holder of Cronus Resources Warrants or Continental Gold Warrants will generally be deemed to have acquired the Amalco Warrants at a cost equal to the adjusted cost base to the holder immediately before the Amalgamation of the Cronus Resources Warrants or Continental Gold Warrants, as the case may be.

31


A holder of Cronus Resources Shares, Cronus Resources Warrants, Continental Gold Shares or Continental Gold Warrants may choose to file a tax return recognizing a capital gain or capital loss on the exchange of such securities for Amalco Shares or Amalco Warrants, as the case may be, under the Amalgamation, in such holder's taxation year which includes the date upon which the Amalgamation took place. In such event, the holder will be considered to have disposed of such shares or warrants for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of the Amalco Shares or Amalco Warrants, as the case may be, received on the exchange. Such holder will realize a capital gain to the extent that such proceeds of disposition exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base of that holder's shares or warrants disposed of immediately before the exchange and any reasonable costs of disposition. Any holder of Cronus Resources Shares, Cronus Resources Warrants, Continental Gold Shares or Continental Gold Warrants that chooses to recognize a capital gain or capital loss will acquire the Amalco Shares, or Amalco Warrants, as the case may be, at a cost equal to the fair market value of such Amalco Shares or Amalco Warrants received on the exchange. Such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the tax treatment described below under "Capital Gains and Capital Losses". It is not possible for a holder of Cronus Resources Shares, Cronus Resources Warrants, Continental Gold Shares or Continental Gold Warrants to elect to recognize only a portion of the gain otherwise realized on a disposition of such shares or warrants using the mechanism described above.

Dissenting Shareholders

Dissenting shareholders are advised to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the tax treatment of payments received as a result of the exercise of the dissent rights described under “Part II – Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meetings – The Continuance – Rights of Dissenting Shareholders”. A shareholder who dissents from the Continuance and thereby becomes entitled to a cash payment that is ultimately paid by Amalco should generally be considered to have realized a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition of the Cronus Resources Shares (which will be equal to the amount of the cash payment less any portion that is in respect of interest) exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the Cronus Resources Shares and any reasonable costs of disposition. Any amount in respect of interest received by a dissenting shareholder will be included in such dissenting shareholder’s income in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act.

The date of disposition of shares disposed of by reason of a shareholder exercising such shareholder’s dissent rights is unclear and dissenting shareholders should consult their tax advisers in this regard.

Dividends on Amalco Shares

Dividends received or deemed to have been received by a holder of Amalco Shares will be included in computing the shareholder’s income. In the case of an individual shareholder, such dividends will not be eligible for the gross-up and dividend tax credit treatment normally applicable to dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations and in the case of a corporate holder such dividends will not be deductible in computing taxable income. A holder that is a Canadian-controlled private corporation may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax of 6 2/3% on such dividends.

Disposition of Amalco Shares

On the disposition or deemed disposition of Amalco Shares, a holder will generally realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition exceed (or are less than) the holder’s adjusted cost base of the Amalco Shares.

32


Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Generally, only one-half of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) is required to be included in the holder’s income in the taxation year of disposition, and one-half of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) may be deducted against taxable capital gains realized in the taxation year of disposition. Allowable capital losses that cannot be deducted from taxable capital gains in the year of disposition can generally be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any following year against taxable capital gains realized in such years to the extent and in the circumstances set out in the Tax Act.

Capital gains realized by individuals and certain trusts may give rise to alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act. A holder that is a Canadian-controlled private corporation may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax of 6 2/3% on taxable capital gains.

Foreign Property Information Reporting

A holder of Amalco Shares or Amalco Warrants that is a specified Canadian entity for a taxation year or a fiscal period and whose total cost amount of specified foreign property, including Amalco Shares or Amalco Warrants at any time in a taxation year or fiscal period exceeds $100,000 will be required to file an information return for the year or period disclosing prescribed information. With some exceptions, a taxpayer resident in Canada in the year will generally be a specified Canadian entity. Holders of Amalco Shares or Amalco Warrants should consult their own advisors regarding the reporting obligations under these rules.

Foreign Investment Entity Draft Legislation

On July 18, 2005, the Minister of Finance released revised draft legislation (the “proposed rules”) relating to the income tax treatment of investments by Canadian residents in foreign investment entities (“FIEs”). In general terms, the draft legislation applies to a participating interest in a FIE, other than an exempt interest. The Amalco Shares will generally not be an exempt interest.

The proposed rules will not apply unless Amalco is an FIE. If Amalco is an FIE, a Canadian resident shareholder would be required to take into account in computing income, on an annual basis, an amount based on a prescribed rate of return on the “designated cost” of the Amalco Shares held by the Canadian resident. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met and the Canadian resident so elects, the Canadian resident would be required to take into account in computing income either (i) any increase (or decrease) in the value of the Amalco Shares during each taxation year (subject to a special rule providing for deemed capital gains treatment), or (ii) the Canadian resident’s relevant share of the underlying income of Amalco, calculated in accordance with Canadian tax rules (whether or not cash distributions were received by the Canadian resident).

No determination has been made as to whether or not Amalco will be an FIE and Canadian residents are urged to consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Qualified Investments for Certain Tax Exempt Entities

Provided that the Amalco Shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange for purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX and Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the TSXV), the Amalco Shares will, while so listed, be qualified investments under the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder for trusts governed by registered retirement savings plans, registered retirement income funds, deferred profit sharing plans, registered education savings plans, registered disability savings plans and the tax-free savings accounts. Notwithstanding that the Amalco Shares are qualified investments for a trust governed by a tax-free savings account, a holder of Amalco Shares will be subject to a penalty tax if the Amalco Shares held in a tax-free savings account are a “prohibited investment” under the Tax Act. The Amalco Shares generally will not be a “prohibited investment” unless the owner of a tax-free savings account does not deal at arm’s length with Amalco, or the holder has a “significant interest” (within the meaning of the Tax Act) in Amalco or a corporation, partnership or trust with which the Resulting Issuer does not deal at arm’s length for the purposes of the Tax Act. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the common stock will be a “prohibited investment” in their particular circumstances.

33


RESALE OF AMALCO SHARES

The issuance of Amalco Shares pursuant to the Amalgamation to holders of Cronus Resources Shares and Continental Gold Shares resident in each of the provinces and territories of Canada is exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements of the securities laws of those provinces and territories.

If the Amalgamation is completed, holders of Cronus Resources Shares and Continental Gold Shares resident in each of the provinces and territories of Canada will receive Amalco Shares pursuant to the Amalgamation which may be resold free of prospectus requirements and statutory hold periods of the securities laws of those provinces and territories, (subject to compliance with the provisions thereof governing resales of securities received pursuant to a business combination). Any person, company or a combination of persons or companies holding a sufficient number of Amalco Shares to affect materially the control of Amalco will nevertheless be restricted in reselling Amalco Shares received pursuant to the Amalgamation. Cronus Resources Shareholders and Continental Gold Shareholders resident outside of these jurisdictions should consult with their own adviser with respect to any resale of Amalco Shares received pursuant to the Amalgamation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain Amalco shareholders will be subject to the terms of an escrow agreement. See “Part V – Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Escrowed Securities”.

FINANCING

Continental Gold Convertible Debentures

On November 27, 2009, Continental Gold issued the Continental Gold Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of CDN $3,000,000 issued at par, secured by a guarantee of Robert W. Allen, bearing interest at the per annum rate of 2% plus prime specified by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, with interest accruing from the date of issue and maturing on November 27, 2011, with the first interest payment due on March 31, 2010, and payable monthly in arrears thereafter. The Continental Gold Convertible Debentures are automatically convertible into units immediately prior to the Amalgamation at a price of CDN $0.55611 per unit pre-Amalgamation. The Continental Gold Convertible Debentures are convertible if and only if the Amalgamation has been completed substantially in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement. For greater certainty,

  (i)

if the Amalgamation is completed substantially in accordance with the terms of the Pre- Amalgamation Agreement, the shares and warrants underlying the units shall convert into shares and warrants of the Resulting Issuer on the basis of the exchange ratios specified in the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement which, based on the terms of the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement, would result in a deemed conversion price of CDN $1.50 per unit of the Resulting Issuer, and

35



  (ii)

if the Amalgamation is not completed substantially in accordance with the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement, such conversion right will no longer be of any force or effect.

Each unit will ultimately consist of one Amalco Share and one Amalco Debenture Warrant following completion of the Amalgamation. Each whole Amalco Debenture Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Amalco Share for a period of two years after the Effective Date at a price equal to CDN. $1.75 per Amalco Share. In the event that the closing price of the Amalco Shares on the TSX or the TSXV, as applicable, is in excess of CDN. $3.50 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days at any time after the issuance of the Amalco Debenture Warrants, the Resulting Issuer may, at its option, accelerate the expiry date of the Amalco Debenture Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof and, in such case, the Amalco Debenture Warrants will expire at 4:00 pm (Toronto time) on the date which is the earlier of: (i) the 30th day after the date on which such notice is given by the Resulting Issuer; and (ii) the two year anniversary of the Effective Date.

Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts

Continental Gold completed the Continental Gold Financing consisting of the sale of 19,166,667 Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts at a price of CDN $1.50 per Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of CDN $28,750,000.

Each Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipt shall be deemed to be exchanged, without payment of any additional consideration and subject to adjustment, for one Continental Gold Financing Unit at the Effective Time. Each Continental Gold Financing Unit will consist of one Amalco Share and one-half of one Amalco Financing Warrant. Upon the closing of the Continental Gold Financing, the gross proceeds of the Continental Gold Financing will be deposited in escrow and constitute the Escrowed Funds. The Escrowed Funds will be released from escrow to Continental Gold after deducting the Agent’s commission and an advisory fee equal to a total of 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds immediately prior to the Effective Time. In the event that the Amalgamation does not occur on or before April 30, 2010, the Escrowed Funds, plus any accrued interest earned thereon, shall be returned pro rata to each holder of the Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts in exchange for the Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts held by such holder.

The Agent received the Continental Gold Financing Compensation Options to be exchanged at the Effective Time for Amalco Financing Compensation Options entitling the Agent to subscribe for that number of Continental Gold Financing Units of Continental Gold as is equal to 7% of the total number of Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts sold pursuant to the Continental Gold Financing. Each Amalco Financing Compensation Option will be exercisable to acquire one Continental Gold Financing Unit at CDN $1.50 for a period of one year from the Effective Time.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

Cronus Resources currently operates a rolling incentive stock option plan (the "Stock Option Plan") pursuant to the policies of the TSXV which provides that the board of directors of Cronus Resources may from time to time, in its discretion, grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of Cronus Resources, or any subsidiary of Cronus Resources, options to purchase Cronus Resources Shares, provided that the number of Cronus Resources Shares reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Cronus Resources Shares at the date of grant. The Stock Option Plan authorizes the board of directors to grant stock options to participants on the following terms:

  1.

The number of Cronus Resources Shares subject to each option is determined by the board of directors provided that the Rolling Plan, together with all other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements may not, during any 12 month period, result in:


  (a)

the number of Cronus Resources Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options granted to any one person exceeding 5% of the issued Cronus Resources Shares;

     
  (b)

the issuance, within a one year period, to insiders of Cronus of a number of Cronus Resources Shares exceeding 10%, or to one insider of a number exceeding 5%, or to a consultant of a number exceeding 2%; or to an employee (as defined by the TSXV) who provides Investor Relations services of a number exceeding 2% of the issued Cronus Resources Shares.


  2.

The exercise price of an option may not be set at less than the closing market price during the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant of the option less a maximum discount of 25% if Cronus is listed on Tier 2, TSXV or without any allowable discount if Cronus is listed on Tier 1, TSXV or on the TSX.

     
  3.

The options may be exercisable for a period of up to 5 years. The options may be exercisable for a period of up to 10 years if Cronus is listed on Tier 1, TSXV, or on the TSX.

     
  4.

The options are non-assignable, except in certain circumstances. The options can only be exercised by the optionee as long as the optionee remains an eligible optionee pursuant to the Rolling Plan or within a period of not more than 90 days (30 days for providers of investor relations services) after ceasing to be an eligible optionee or, if the optionee dies, within one year from the date of the optionee's death.

     
  5.

On the occurrence of a takeover bid, issuer bid or going private transaction, the board of directors will have the right to accelerate the date on which any option becomes exercisable.

PART IV – INFORMATION CONCERNING CONTINENTAL GOLD

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Name and Incorporation

Continental Gold was incorporated under the Bermuda Act on April 26, 2007. The impact of certain laws of Bermuda on the business and affairs of Continental Gold is discussed under “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Properties” and “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer – Bermuda Legal Matters.”

The registered office of Continental Gold is located at Milner House, 18 Parliament Street, Hamilton HM FX, Bermuda. The principal office of Continental Gold is located at CII 7 #39-215, Office 1208, Medellín, Colombia.

Intercorporate Relationships

Continental Gold has no subsidiaries. Continental Gold has formed a branch pursuant to the laws of Colombia effective May 23, 2007, and carries on business in Colombia under the name, “CG de Colombia”.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

General Development

History

Continental Gold is engaged in the business of mineral exploration in Colombia, South America. Its objective is to locate and develop properties of merit. Despite being a relatively new company its management team has over 20 years experience in Colombia. Continental Gold currently holds rights to explore and develop nine precious and base metal exploration properties in Colombia totalling approximately 200,000 hectares. Continental Gold’s principal focus is on the Buriticá Project. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Properties –The Colombia Projects”.

Relationship Between Continental Gold and Grupo de Bullet S.A.

Grupo is a private Colombian company, dedicated to the exploration, development, and mining of metal and industrial mineral deposits in Colombia, South America. For the last twenty years Grupo has maintained an on-site, working presence in Colombia. Due to its long-term presence in Colombia, Grupo has developed an extensive portfolio of gold, copper, and polymetallic mineral projects totalling over 1,000,000 hectares in the core zones of many of the most important precious metal and base metal camps in Colombia. Grupo has selected nine properties, known as the Anza, Arenosa, Berlin, Buriticá, Dojura, Dominical, Lunareja, Santander and Zaragoza projects (herein referred to, collectively, as the “Colombia Projects”), which have been transferred to Continental Gold pursuant to the Concession Sale Agreement. See "Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Material Contracts – Concession Sale Agreement".

The founder of Grupo is Robert W. Allen. Mr. Allen is the promoter of Continental Gold and serves as the Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Continental Gold. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Promoter” and “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Directors and Officers”. Mr. Allen also controls Bulletco, which is the principal shareholder of Continental Gold. See “Part I –General Information in Respect of the Meetings – Voting Shares and Principal Holders of Shares - Principal Holders of Securities”. Mr. Allen has been involved in the identification, financing, and development of oil, gas, coal, and metals properties in the United States and South America for over thirty years. He has been dedicated to the development of Grupo’s Colombian project portfolio since 1985, and has been responsible for all of Grupo’s key acquisitions including the Colombia Projects.

42


Bullet Option Agreement and Joint Ventures

In addition to the Colombia Projects, Continental Gold has rights to acquire further metallic mineral rights held or applied for by Bulletco. To acquire each mineral right Continental Gold is required to pay a specific percentage of the independently appraised value of the property plus Grupo’s expenses. Grupo retains the right to acquire non-metallic minerals on the relevant mineral right for no further consideration. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Material Contracts – Bullet Option Agreement”.

Three joint ventures are currently in effect on the Colombia Projects, two of which are with AngloGold Ashanti Limited on the Dojura Project and the Dominical Project, and one with local landowners on the Anza Project. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Material Contracts – Joint Ventures”. Continental Gold intends to utilize joint venture partners in circumstances where it is beneficial to Continental Gold.

Trends

Continental Gold operates in a business environment that is subject to numerous risks, some of which are within Continental Gold's ability to manage and some of which are beyond its control. By adhering to its effective business strategies, Continental Gold can manage those risks within its control and partially mitigate the risks that are associated with the industry.

The prospect of finding gold reserves and resources in commercial quantities is inherently uncertain and exploration activities seldom result in the discovery of a commercially viable mineral resource. To minimize this risk, Continental Gold employs highly qualified exploration and development personnel and consultants to generate low to medium risk prospects in areas commensurate with the financial resources of Continental Gold. Continental Gold focuses on exploring new areas to find gold and to this end, extensive geological and geophysical analysis is performed prior to drilling. Once an area is targeted, Continental Gold strives to build an extensive land base and maintain medium to high working interests in its prospects.

Exploration activities are also expensive and even greater financial resources are required to develop a commercially viable resource for production and Continental Gold will continue to require additional financing to carry on its business, even after completion of the Continental Gold Financing, and such financing may not be available when it is needed.

Commodity price volatility is also a significant risk to gold producers. Prices for gold are related to conditions beyond Continental Gold's control such as worldwide supply and demand, competition, the US dollar exchange rate and weather related seasonal changes in demand. If, as and when, Continental Gold begins commercial production of gold, Continental Gold may, from time to time, utilize the combination of fixed price contracts and financial instruments to mitigate the risk of price volatility.

The mineral resource industry is subject to extensive regulations imposed by governments related to the protection of the environment. Environmental legislation has undergone major revisions resulting in more stringent environmental and compliance standards in recent years. Continental Gold is committed to operating in a manner that meets or exceeds the required standards and compliance guidelines. In addition, Continental Gold strives to minimize the impact of its activities on the environment by using the best available technologies having regards to its financial resources from time to time. See also "Part IV - Information Concerning Continental Gold – Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer".

Description of the Business

Business Objectives

The primary business objective of Continental Gold is to explore for and develop precious and base metals deposits in Colombia. Continental Gold proposes to complete exploration programs on the Buriticá Project, and preliminary exploration programs on the other eight projects. See "Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold -Properties – The Colombia Projects". Continental Gold’s interest in the Colombia Projects is its only significant asset. The Colombia Projects have no defined mineral resources or mineral reserves. Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation might not be able to overcome. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer”.

43


Milestones

On May 23, 2007, the Colombian branch of Continental Gold, named CG de Colombia (Branch), was established and Continental Gold formally commenced business operations.

On December 20, 2007, Continental Gold completed a $10.0 million private placement and finalized the acquisition of the Colombia Projects. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

Since formal commencement of business operations, Continental Gold has begun exploration work at it flagship property, the Buriticá Project. The Buriticá Project is in Antioquia department, located in an historical gold producing district 100km from Medellín. The Buriticá Project hosts breccia pipes and veins in a porphyry environment.

An 8,000 m diamond drill program was completed in 2008 at Buriticá, where gold mineralization was found in a diatreme breccia pipe, high grade veins and replacement deposits, all related to a high-level dioritic intrusive complex.

The Yaragua diatreme breccia pipe defined in this program contains bulk-tonnage grades that range from 0.5 –1.3 g/t Au, with higher grade facies averaging 3.2 g/t Au and 1.5% Zn both contained within a (minimum) 200 x 250 x 250 m zone. A high grade vein intersected during this program, named the San Antonio Vein, indicated grades of 14-93 g/t Au over an average 2 m width, which have been confirmed through subsequent underground development. Selected gold grades and estimated true thickness of the San Antonio Vein include:

• Busy-11 4.90m @ 91.88 g/t Au
• Busy-16 1.20m @ 64.07 g/t Au
• Busy-17 1.60m @ 15.42 g/t Au

Preliminary metallurgical testing of the Yaragua breccia and veins and plant recoveries to date show that recoveries of well over 90% are possible with a significant proportion of free-milling gold.

On behalf of Continental Gold, Snowden Mining Industry Consultants Limited carried out an independent technical review of the Buriticá Project (herein referred to as the “Snowden Buriticá Report”) which approves an exploration program proposed by management of Continental Gold. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold -Properties – The Colombia Projects – The Buriticá Project”. Exploration at the Buriticá Project has continued throughout 2009 and remains in progress.

Business Strengths

Continental Gold has the following business strengths:

  • advanced gold properties with extensive precious and base metal mining targets (see “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Properties – The Colombia Projects”);

  • international management team with track records of discovering and developing bulk mining targets and multi-million ounce gold deposits (see “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Directors and Officers”);

44


  • in depth knowledge of Colombian mineral properties and Colombia operating experience (see “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Description of the Business – General Development – Relationship Between Continental Gold and Grupo de Bullet S.A.”); and

  • two exploration joint ventures with AngloGold Ashanti Limited (see “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Material Contracts – Assignment Agreement – AngloGold Joint Venture”).

Environmental Regulation

All phases of Continental Gold's operations in Colombia are subject to environmental regulation. See “Part IV –Information Concerning Continental Gold - Colombia Mining Legislation – Environmental Obligations” and "Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer". Continental Gold maintains, and will continue to maintain, a policy of operating its business in compliance with all environmental regulations.

Employees

As of the date of this Information Circular, Continental Gold has 205 employees, consisting of 20 field geologists, 5 mining and environmental engineers, and the balance being geological field crews and operators. Senior employees are the Chief Executive Officer, Robert W. Allen; the Chief Financial Officer, Donald H. Christie; the Vice-President of Operations, Peter B. Bolt; the Vice-President of Exploration, Stuart A. Moller; and, the Corporate Secretary, Gustavo J. Koch. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Directors and Officers”. The senior officers of Continental Gold have entered into employment contracts. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Executive Compensation” – “Employment Contracts”.

Competitive Conditions

The mineral exploration and mining business is competitive in all phases of exploration, development and production. Continental Gold competes with a number of other entities in the search for and the acquisition of prospective mineral properties. As a result of this competition, Continental Gold may be unable to acquire attractive properties in the future on terms it considers acceptable. In addition, Continental Gold competes with other resource companies, which may be better able to attract equity investments and other capital.

The ability of Continental Gold to acquire properties depends, in part, on its success in exploring and developing its present properties and on its ability to select, acquire, dispose or bring to production suitable properties or prospects for mineral exploration and development. Factors beyond the control of Continental Gold may affect the marketability of minerals mined or discovered by Continental Gold. See "Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer".

Security Environment

Security at mines, mills, exploration sites and infrastructure corridors in Colombia has been successfully managed for years. Security problems generally manifest as a spectrum of issues including illegal occupation of mines by otherwise unemployed miners, threats from guerrillas (e.g., the FARC – “Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarios de Colombia”, also known as “Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia”) or paramilitaries often associated with trafficking of illegal narcotics, and general criminal activity. In general, these problems often stem from limited employment in the rural areas of Colombia. Continental Gold addresses security issues by using an integrated approach, incorporating positive community and governmental relations with security personnel in the employ of Continental Gold.

Continental Gold has found that security is best promoted by creating employment in the area, resulting in a vested interest by the local population to support Continental Gold’s efforts. This occurs by hiring local field crews and labourers, and permitting small scale mining on Continental Gold’s mineral exploration properties. In addition, the monies derived from the Colombian government’s 4% royalty on gold and silver production (see “Colombia Mining Legislation – Taxes and Royalties”) is repatriated to the communities where the precious metal production is derived. Committees propose expenditures to the benefit of the local population, which must be approved by the authorities. The approved expenditures generally take the form of medical clinics and transportation infrastructure projects.

45


In the Zaragoza and Arenosa areas, in particular, there are a significant number of illegal miners. The Colombian government recognizes the problem and is actively trying to reduce the problem via the creation of alternative employment schemes. Continental Gold has received the cooperation and participation of the government in consolidating the widespread presence of miners to a smaller number of larger projects, namely the development and production areas which are coordinated with Continental Gold’s exploration strategies. The motive of the government is to reduce the illegal activity of the miners and to reduce the widespread use of mercury in their artisanal gold production. Continental Gold has recently begun a program of negotiations with illegal operators at Zaragoza resulting in two signed agreements. These set the framework for legalizing the operations and managing and controlling the production. Illegal mining activity is not a significant problem on the other Colombia Projects.

Military bases in an area, both permanent and temporary, historically counteract the potential presence of guerrilla and paramilitary groups. In the Zaragoza area there are two existing military bases, in the settlements of El Bagre and Zaragoza, which can be relied upon to assist with any security needs. Maintaining an interactive relationship with the military (and local police) is important to security for Continental Gold’s proposed exploration and development activities.

Although non-governmental organizations (“NGO’s”) as noted above are capable of fostering anti-mining sentiment which can lead to delays or denials in the issuance of permits (see “Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer – NGO Intervention”), Continental Gold’s security management policies and general practices as noted above have been successful in the past and Continental Gold does not anticipate any permit denials or delays, or interruption of its business plans.

COLOMBIA – GEOGRAPHIC, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS

Set out below is a summary of certain geographic, political and economic considerations relevant to carrying on business in Colombia. It does not purport to be a comprehensive statement of such considerations. It is included for the purposes of background information only and should not be relied on or used for any other purpose.

Location

Colombia is located in the north western part of the South American continent at the northern end of the Andean mountain chain, has a population of 44.0 million people, and is the third most populous country in Latin America after Brazil and Mexico. In Colombia, the Andean mountain range is split into three separate ranges, referred to as the Occidental (Eastern), Central and Oriental (Western) Cordilleras, respectively. This topographic variability reflects a varied underlying geology related to the position of the country at the boundary between several major tectonic plates.

Colombia is the 26th largest nation in the world and the fourth-largest country in South America. Colombia is bordered to the east by Venezuela and Brazil; to the south by Ecuador and Peru; to the North by the Atlantic Ocean, through the Caribbean Sea; to the northwest by Panama; and to the west by the Pacific Ocean. Besides the countries in South America, Colombia is recognized to share maritime borders with the Caribbean countries of Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the Central American countries of Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Colombia has more physical diversity within its borders than any other area of comparable size in Latin America.

46


Government

Colombia has a Presidential political system and its territorial entities are autonomous. Constitutional power is divided in three branches: executive, legislative and judicial. The President is the Chief of State. He is elected, along with a Vice-President, by popular vote every four years. During 2005, the Congress and the Constitutional Court approved a change in the Constitution to allow a president's re-election. The Colombian bicameral parliament is the Congress, comprised by the Senate and House of Representatives. The members of both houses are elected by popular vote to serve during a four-year period. The Colombian legal system is comprised by the Supreme Court of Justice, which is the highest court of the Colombian justice, the Nation’s General Prosecutor, the Constitutional Court, the State Council, and the Superior Judicial Council. A global reform to the judicial system is currently ongoing. The Colombian State is governed by the Constitution of 1991. This new constitution created a democratic framework based on the legal recognition of the fundamental rights for all Colombians.

Economy

Over the last decade, the Colombian economy has maintained a stable growth rate, allowing the country to avoid the need to restructure its foreign debt, complying with payment of its financial obligations on a timely basis. During the 1990's, the Colombian economy experienced growth in international commerce and foreign investment. Between 1991 and 1995, the economy grew at rates which exceeded the region's average. In 1996, growth was interrupted by a recession and the effects of the Asian crisis. As from 2000, the Colombian economy started to recover. The new millennium has been characterized by economic stability, the advance of free market reforms, and policies addressed to increase productivity and competitiveness.

Energy and Mineral Resources

The petroleum industry in Colombia is very important for the economy and is a fundamental basis for the State’s finances, given that petroleum is the main export. A national fiscal priority is the discovery of new reserves of crude oil. The national government has made a series of reforms to the petroleum policies to encourage exploration and development.

Mining is a significant sector in the economy of Colombia and one of the country’s largest export sectors. The country has the biggest above ground coal mine in the world (El Cerrejón), the largest coal reserves in Latin

47


America and in 2008 was the sixth largest coal exporter in the world, with a 6.3% share equivalent to 50 million tons per annum. There is a variety of other minerals, such as gold, nickel, silver, platinum, copper and uranium, in mines throughout the country. Colombia is the largest exporter of high quality emeralds in the world.

Investor Considerations

  • Colombia has one of the most stable economies in Latin America, keeping a steady growth rate over the last decade.

  • Colombia is perceived as the only Latin American country that repays its foreign debt on a timely basis.

  • Colombian labour force is considered to be one of the most qualified and competitive in Latin America in terms of costs at management and operational levels. Colombia has one of the most flexible labour regulations in Latin America.

  • Colombia is strategically located at an intermediate point between North and South America. Its coastlines run all along the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean and it has a modern port infrastructure.

  • Colombia is the third largest market in size in Latin America, after Brazil and Mexico, with a population of approximately 44 million people.

  • Colombia has one of the highest percentages of public utility coverage in Latin America. It has a modern telecommunications infrastructure and has invested substantially in the transportation infrastructure.

  • More than 400 multinational companies operate in or trade with the country.

Investment Climate

As of the beginning of the so-called “economic opening”, which began in 1990’s with free trade and open market policies, the national government enacted regulations to promote foreign investment and foreign trade. The main measures implemented include:

  • Foreign investment is allowed for all the economic sectors, except in sectors related to national security and disposal of dangerous waste.

  • Foreign investors receive the same legal and administrative treatment as domestic investors.

  • There are no restrictions for the transfer of funds related to foreign investment.

  • Investment regulations allow remittance of 100% of all profits earned in the country, irrespective of the type and the amount of the investment.

  • There is no requirement for prior government approval to invest in the utility, mining and hydrocarbon sectors.

  • Administrative requirements related to reporting by foreign investors have been simplified.

  • Colombia signed bilateral trade agreements with different countries to foster commerce and ensure access to local markets for imported goods.

  • Except for gasoline and other minor products and services, no price controls exist in Colombia.

  • The right to private property is contained in the constitution of Colombia.

  • International arbitration clauses used in contracts with foreign investors are enforceable.

48


COLOMBIA MINING LEGISLATION

Set out below is a summary of certain provisions of the mining legislation and the mining industry in Colombia. It does not purport to be a comprehensive statement of all relevant provisions. It is included for the purposes of background information only and should not be relied on or used for any other purpose.

Overview of Mining Code

In Colombia, all mineral rights are the property of the government of Colombia. Obtaining a mining right does not transfer ownership of the mineral estate, but creates a temporary right to explore and benefit from minerals in exchange for royalty payments so long as the mining title remains in good standing.

Under Colombian mining law, foreign individuals and corporations have the same rights as Colombian individuals and corporations, and Colombian governmental regulatory bodies are specifically prohibited from requiring any additional or different requirements than would be required of a Colombian individual or corporation.

Mineral property rights are governed by the Colombian Mining Code, which has been subject to various changes and amendments. The oldest version applicable is Law 20 promulgated in 1969. Law 20 was superseded by decree 2655 in 1988 (the “1988 Decree”), which in turn was amended by Law 685 in 2001 (the “2001 Law”) which continues in effect to the present. Until 1988, the Colombian Ministry of Mines and Energy (the “MME”) was directly responsible for the administration of the mining law as it relates to mining titles. In 1988, these duties were transferred to a separate agency Minercol. On January 27, 2004, under resolution 180074 these responsibilities were transferred to INGEOMINAS, which is the Colombian government ministry responsible for mining matters.

Under Colombian mining law, the holder of surface or subsurface minerals, whether operating on government or private property, is subject to the legal requirements established under the 1988 Decree and the 2001 Law. The 1988 Decree is currently applied to those licences granted during the period it was in effect and prior to the effective date of the 2001 Law. The 1988 Decree is also applied to those applications made during its pendency but still under administrative proceeding when the 2001 Law came into force, where the applicant did not request to be subject to the new regulation.

Forms of Tenure

2001 Law

Under the 2001 Law, there is a single type of mineral tenure, a Concession Contract covering exploration, construction and exploitation. The initial duration of a Concession Contract is 30 years, but may be extended for up to 30 additional years. A Concession Contract has three distinct phases: exploration, construction, and exploitation.

  (a)

The exploration phase lasts for the first three years of the Concession Contract, but may be extended for a term of up to two years. During this phase, the holder has the right to carry out within the given area, the studies necessary to establish the existence of minerals. These studies should include a determination of the existence, location, geometry, resources and reserves and economic viability of the mineral deposit.

     
  (b)

In order to proceed to the construction phase, 30 days prior to the completion of the exploration phase, the Concession Contract holder must submit a building and works plan – Plan de Trabajos y Obras (“PTO”) to the mining authority for approval and concurrently submit an environmental impact study – Estudio de Impacto Ambiental (“EIA”) to the relevant environmental authority. The PTO must cover the entire area granted under the Concession Contract during the stages of construction and exploitation. The PTO is based upon the results of surveys and works undertaken during the exploration stage and includes: the final delimitation of the area to be exploited; cartographic information of the area, location, calculation and characterization of minerals to be exploited; a description and location of all facilities and mining infrastructure; geomorphologic, landscape and forest rehabilitation plan and a description of the escalation and duration of the expected exploitation phase; physical and chemical features of minerals to be exploited; a closure plan and an exploitation reclamation plan. The EIA provides the technical support parameters to obtain an environmental licence. Depending on the commodity being produced and the level of production, this study must be submitted to the Ministry of the Environment or to the environmental authority of the jurisdiction in which the mining project is located (i.e. the Regional Autonomous Corporations). The environmental licence grants the necessary environmental permits including, concessions and authorizations, to make use of and profit from renewable natural resources necessary to move the project forward including resources such as water and timber. The construction and exploitation stage cannot begin until the environmental licence is obtained. The construction phase lasts for three years, commencing on acceptance of the PTO and EIA, and may be extended for an additional year. During this phase, the holder has the right to prepare the mining area and install the services, equipment, and fixed machinery necessary to start and carry out the extraction, storage, transportation and beneficiation of the minerals. The construction, installations and mining assemblies should have the characteristics and dimensions and quality set forth in the approved PTO. The holder of the concession is obligated to comply with all legal, technical, operative and environmental rules set forth in the Colombian Mining Code, with all buildings, facilities and mining assemblies designed and installed according to the approved PTO.

49



  (c)

Upon conclusion of the construction phase, exploitation may begin. The exploitation phase lasts for the remaining duration of the Concession Contract. Concession fees are replaced by a royalty based on gross production.

1988 Decree

An exploration licence - Licencia de Exploracion as defined by the 1988 Decree and continued unchanged in the 2001 Law, grants the holder the exclusive right to conduct exploration activities. Under the 1988 Decree, the term of an exploration licence depends on its geographical area of application. For an area up to 100 hectares, the initial term is one year, with an extension possible for one additional year; from 100 to 1,000 hectares, the initial term is two years, with an extension possible for one additional year; and for an area larger than 1,000 hectares, the term is five years, with no extension possible. All these terms can be accelerated if exploitation starts earlier than anticipated. Work performed during the term of an exploration licence must be filed with the MME. Once the exploration term has expired, the holder must submit a Final Exploration Report and a Works and Investment Program – Programa de Trabajos e Inversiones (a “PTI”) to the mining authority and an exploitation licence will be issued upon approval thereof. Exploitation licences have a term of 10 years which can be extended under the 1988 Decree for a further 10 years, and continue under this designation until their expiry date.

Environmental Obligations

Exploration on a mineral tenure which exceeds prospecting, mapping and sampling requires the submittal and approval of an Environmental Management Plan – Plan of Management Environmental (“PMA”) which must include:

  (a)

the work to be done (i.e., the number of drill holes, location, direction, depth, etc.);

     
  (b)

the proposed points of diversion for water so appropriate water permits can be issued;

     
  (c)

the location and number of settling ponds to prevent turbidity in the streams by drilling fluids; and

     
  (d)

the location of fuel and oil storage areas away from streams and creeks.

The preparation and filing of the PMA is normally the responsibility of the drill contractor, and is typically approved in 15 to 30 days, up to a maximum of 90 days from application. There is no bond requirement for exploration PMA’s, and no site reclamation is required. While PMA’s do not require any authorization or environmental permits, any such work carried out in areas designated as natural reserves according to Article 34 of the Code are to be governed by those rules and restrictions.

50


As discussed above, an EIA must be submitted before an environmental licence will be issued. The EIA has to demonstrate the PTO’s environmental feasibility. Without approval of this study and the issuance of the corresponding environmental licence, mining and exploitation cannot commence.

Chapter 20 of the Mining Code under the 2001 Law deals with the issuance of the required environmental licences for mining titles. Once an EIA has been submitted, the law provides that the issuance of the required environmental licences can only be refused when:

  (a)

the EIA does not comply with the requirement in Article 204 of the Code and specifically those foreseen in the terms of reference and/or guides, established by the competent environmental authority;

     
  (b)

the EIA has errors or omissions that cannot be corrected by the applicant and that are required components of such study;

     
  (c)

the level of prevention, mitigation, correction, compensation and substitution for the negative impacts of the mining project prescribed in the EIA, do not comply with the substantial elements established for such effects in the guidelines; or

     
  (d)

the omissions, errors or deficiencies of the EIA, and of the proposed measures referred to in the previous subsections, affect the total mining project.

The 2001 Law also requires a Concession Contract holder to obtain an Environmental Mining Insurance Policy. During the exploration stage, the insured value under the policy must be 5% of the value of the planned annual exploration expenditures and during the construction phase the insured value under the policy must be 5% of the planned investment for assembly and construction under the PTO. During the exploitation phase the insured value under the policy must be 10% of the product of the estimated annual production multiplied by the mine mouth price of the minerals being produced, as fixed annually by the Colombian government. Continental Gold has obtained the prescribed Environmental Mining Insurance Policy.

For licences or agreements to be maintained under decree 2655 (the “1988 Decree”), the holder has to obtain an insurance policy and the insured value must be 10% of the estimated production for the first two years as established by the PTI. Further, the policy must be maintained during the entire term of the licence or agreement.

Surface Rights and Surface Tenure

Colombian law specifically provides that the owner of a Concession Contract, exploration licence or exploitation licence is entitled to use so much of the surface as is necessary to carry out the activities under the given licence or contract. Under normal conditions, this requires little more than speaking with the surface owner, obtaining permission and paying a reasonable fair market price for the area actually used. Colombian law grants exclusive temporary possession of mineral deposits and provides mandatory easements to ensure efficient exploration and exploitation of legal mining titles and further provides authority to impose appropriate easements as necessary both within and external to the limits of the mining title. The holder of a mining title must agree with the surface owner or other party against which such easement is enforceable, including other mining title holders, upon the time, and appropriate remuneration for the use and occupancy. Colombian law provides that the remuneration payable to the surface owner is to be based on the reasonable fair market value of the land and is not to include any value attributable to the development of the “mineral wealth”, and that it should only be for so much of the surface as is actually affected, consumed or occupied by the exploration or mining activity. Should the use of the surface affect the value of areas, not subject to the easement, this loss of value will also be taken into account when fixing the remuneration payable to the land owners.

Furthermore, since the mining industry is an activity of public interest, it is also possible for the concessionaire to request the competent mining authority for the expropriation of the lands necessary for mining activities. The acquisition of land through expropriation is also subject to prior indemnification to the owner(s).

51


Taxes and Royalties

During the exploration and construction phases, the holder of a Concession Contract must pay a government property fee equivalent to one minimum daily wage per hectare per year for areas up to 2,000 hectares, two 10 minimum daily wages per hectare per year for areas of 2,000 to 5,000 hectares, and three minimum daily wages per hectare per year for areas of 5,000 to 10,000 hectares. The fee is payable in advance per year upon the contract’s execution. The minimum wage is currently approximately USD$9.00 per day.

In Colombia, production of gold and silver is subject to a royalty payable to the state equal to four percent (4%) of the gross value of the minerals calculated at the mine mouth for gold, subject to certain deductions and adjustments. The value per gram of gold and silver at mine mouth for the estimation of royalties is eighty percent (80%) of the average international price for the previous month, as published in the London Metal Exchange, resulting in an effective royalty rate of 3.2% .

Under the 2001 Law, Colombian staff of a mining company, as a whole, should receive not less than seventy percent (70%) of the total payroll of qualified or of skilled personnel in upper management or senior level staff, and no less than eighty percent (80%) of the value of total payroll of the subordinates. Upon prior authorization, relief may be granted by the Ministry of Labour for a specified time to allow specialized training for Colombian personnel.

Project Description and Location

Project Area and Location

The Buriticá Project comprises 31,329 hectares in an area located about 75 km northwest of Medellín in the Antioquia Department of north-western Colombia. The Buriticá Project includes the Yaragua Mine which is located approximately 2 km south of the town of Buriticá. Gold was mined in the Buriticá Project prior to Spanish colonial times. The Spanish conducted extensive mining using surface hydraulic methods to recover gold from alluvium and colluvial soils on hillsides. Numerous small high grade veins have also been worked for gold and silver, and the project area hosts several small artisanal mining operations exploiting narrow high grade veins, alluvial and colluvial deposits. A group of such veins is present at the Yaragua Mine, which has been the primary area of artisanal mining and has been under operation by Continental Gold as a pre-production bulk sample testing operation.

The Buriticá Project does not have known reserves or resources and Continental Gold is conducting an exploratory search for commercial quantities of gold and silver. The operations at the Yaragua Mine have not been the subject of a formal feasibility study prepared by an independent qualified person in accordance with NI 43-101. Until such time as an independent feasibility study is prepared, there is no objective basis to determine whether such operations are economic or have the potential to be profitable. No reliance can be placed on the economic significance or prospective potential for operations at the Yaragua Mine. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Risk Factors”.

Figure 1 - Map showing location of the Buriticá Project

Project Tenure

In August 2009 Continental Gold’s Buriticá ground holdings comprised 22 registered concessions, covering 5,562 hectares, and 9 pending registration concessions totalling 13,347 hectares. A further five concession applications have been lodged covering 12,411 hectares. The process of legally transferring concessions held by Bulletco to Continental Gold is in progress pursuant to the Concession Sale Agreement. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Material Contracts – Agreement for Sale of Concession Contracts and Applications for Concession Contracts in Colombia”. The Buriticá ground holdings are illustrated in Figure 2.

53


Buriticá Project is 100% owned by Continental Gold with the exception of one concession (No 7495) which is the subject of the Buriticá Purchase Agreement. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Material Contracts – Buriticá Purchase Agreement”.

Figure 2 - Mining concession map for the Buriticá project as of August 2009

Continental Gold’s registered exploration concessions attracted annual concession fees of $46,065 during 2009. Concessions with a complete technical study but awaiting signature and entering into the National Mining Register would attract an annual concession fee of $42,373 during 2009 based on expected concession fee changes. Concessions without a complete technical study would attract concession fees of $266,968 based on expected fee changes. Conversion of exploration to exploitation concessions replaces the concession fees with a production royalty based on gold and silver sales.

See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Colombia Mining Legislation” regarding details of Colombia mining legislation, including forms of tenure, environmental obligations, surface rights and surface tenure, taxes and royalties. The Snowden Buriticá Report provides a summary of the category and expiry details for each concession, all of which are in good standing and have sufficient time to continue the planned scope of work.

54


Agreements, Royalties and Other Encumbrances

Buriticá Project is 100% owned by Continental Gold with the exception of one concession (No 7495) which is the subject of the Buriticá Purchase Agreement. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Material Contracts – Buriticá Purchase Agreement”. There are no other agreements, royalties or other encumbrances with the exception of state concession fees and royalties.

Environmental Liabilities

The Yaragua Mine concession is subject to an environmental permit which contains an approved environmental plan and mine abandonment plan. The location of the Yaragua Mine in a steep sided valley means there is significant potential for contaminated runoff. The valley is dry and joins the La Mina creek below the mine. Dumps for waste rock and gravity (sand) tailings are constructed within the steep confines of the valley. Water for the mine is sourced from the La Mina creek in the valley to the west of the mine offices and fluid is discharged into the Yaragua valley below the waste dump. Environmental testwork and a baseline environmental audit completed in 2008 by an independent consultant confirms that the La Mina creek is polluted below the mine. The consultant’s report outlines various concerns within the Buriticá Project area, and highlights that the previous operators of the Yaragua Mine failed to meet environmental requirements resulting in Continental Gold inheriting an environmental liability. Principal concerns and recommendations highlighted in the baseline environmental audit which form the basis for the approved environmental plan and mine abandonment plan include:

  • the expiry of water usage permits and forestry clearance permits;

  • the installation of a water metering system to record water usage from the La Mano creek;

  • rehabilitation of the La Mina creek for 2 km downstream of the mine discharge site;

  • tailings characterization is recommended in order to design a suitable disposal system;

  • a slope stability study of the waste dump to include stabilization work and redesign to prevent contamination of soil and water;

  • revegetation of the gravity tailings and other affected landscapes;

  • a rehabilitation programme for the cyanidation tailings at Yaragua; and

  • implementation of a chemical management programme.

Continental Gold is currently rehabilitating the Yaragua Mine site. Slope stabilization work on the gravity tailings has been completed, and a new cyanidation tailings impoundment dam has been constructed adjacent to the plant site. In order to rehabilitate the contaminated sand tailings, Continental Gold is developing a small stope which will be dry filled with existing cyanidation tailings as well as some future tailings. The stope will be sealed in order to prevent contaminants leaking from the site.

There are no other environmental liabilities associated with the Buriticá Project.

Permits

Pursuant to the environmental permit required for the Yaragua Mine as discussed above, the necessary industrial fluid discharge permits, and forestry clearance permits have been provided. Continental Gold has been granted a water usage permit on February 28, 2009 with a validity of ten years which can be extended in line with the validity of the mining licence. This permit also includes domestic and industrial discharges.

There are no other permits required for the Buriticá Project at this time.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

Accessibility and elevation

The Buriticá Project is accessed via the paved road from Medellín to Pinguro, which forms one of the branches of the Pan-American Highway. A newly completed paved road leading to Buriticá village passes through the heart of the project area. The distance by road from Medellín is approximately 125 km, the regional centre of Santa Fe de Antioquia is located some 23 km to the south east of the Yaragua Mine.

The Yaragua Mine is accessed from the road via a mule trail down slope, the horizontal distance is approximately 620 meters and the elevation decreases from approximately 1760 meters to 1484 meters. A cableway is used for the delivery of supplies to the mine site. The upper portion of the mule trail has been upgraded to allow drill rig access to the exploration drilling sites.

Topography, climate and vegetation

The terrain in the Buriticá Project area is very rugged with elevations ranging from around 500 meters in the Cauca river valley to the east, to over 2,000 meters at the tops of the ridges. The climate is tropical with an average temperature of 19°C. The average annual rainfall is 1,500 mm most of which falls in the rainy season from April to November.

On steeper slopes within the project area the vegetation is predominantly forest with small clearings for the cultivation of coffee, yucca, banana and other crops. On flatter lower lying ground and many of the ridges the forest has been cleared and replaced by grassland used for pasture.

Infrastructure

The Buriticá Project is reasonably well developed in terms of infrastructure with good road access and the project is easily accessible from the towns of Buriticá and Santa Fe de Antioquia. There are several other villages and a large number of isolated dwellings within the project area where access is by mule or on foot.

The Yaragua Mine is a typical small scale, labour intensive, operation. Historically mining has taken place on three levels with most of the development along the Murcielagos vein. Production from the Murcielagos vein has stopped and the process plant is currently being utilized for the pilot plant processing of development mineralization from the San Antonio vein.

The Yaragua Mine site is set in a steep sided valley in a region of relatively high rainfall and there is potential for local slope instability and erosion, which may affect production. In particular the gravity tailings and the cyanide tailings at the plant site contain unconsolidated material which could be vulnerable to erosion. As noted above Continental Gold is taking remedial action to stabilize these slopes. Continental Gold is also investigating alternative plant sites which will allow it to increase mine production and allow for storage of waste and tailings in areas of flatter ground.

Power is supplied to the Yaragua Mine from the local grid, via a dedicated transmission line, to a transformer on site. Major equipment, such as the compressors, is all electrically powered. The mine has radio communications and mobile phones work at the mine offices. The mine offices, including the laboratory, are simple timber structures. A total of 100 people work at the mine, and an additional 20 are involved in exploration. Due to the varied mining activity in the area, there is a good source of experienced miners and labourers in the district.

Mine water is sourced from the La Mina creek in the valley to the west of the mine and is piped to a holding tank above the mine offices.

56


History

The high grade gold veins of the Buriticá Project area have been mined since before the arrival of the Spanish colonialists. Extensive areas of superficial weathered material are believed to have been worked by hydraulic methods, and small high grade veins were worked underground for gold and silver. Several old vein mine workings are known in the Buriticá Project area and there are also extensive outcrops of altered rocks at surface.

The exploration history of the Buriticá Project consists of concentrated activity at the Yaragua Mine, and the exploration of other areas in the Buritica Project. There are no records of previous resource and reserve estimates for the Yaragua Mine or any other deposits within the Buriticá Project area.

Bulletco acquired its Buriticá Project concessions over the last 20 years. Continental Gold acquired the Buriticá Project concessions from Bulletco pursuant to the Concession Sale Agreement. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Material Contracts – Agreement for Sale of Concession Contracts and Applications for Concession Contracts in Colombia”.

Yaragua Mine Exploration and Development History

The Yaragua Mine is the largest underground vein mine in the Buriticá Project area. It has been producing gold continuously since 1992, principally from the Murcielagos vein which has been worked over a strike length of approximately 470 m and a vertical extent of 160 m. Between 2001 and 2007 the mine produced 11,694 oz of gold (no tonnage and grade data is available). During 2008 Continental Gold sold 56.8 kg of gold in doré (1,826 oz), derived from exploration development and trial mining activities at Yaragua. Exploration development on the San Antonio vein commenced in late 2008 and has continued during 2009. Material derived from this development currently supplies the pilot plant at a processing rate of 30 tpd. Continental Gold produced a total of 146 kg of gold in doré (4,698 oz) between January and July 2009 from the San Antonio vein. The pilot plant processed 6,504 t at an average plant gold recovery of 38.5 g/t Au between November 2008 and August 2009, (based on gold recovery into zinc precipitate after the Merrill Crowe process and on mine laboratory assays). Continental Gold intends to upgrade the pilot plant to a capacity of 65 tpd.

The Yaragua Mine is accessed via three adits on level 1 (elevation 1,484 m), level 2 (elevation 1,430 m) and level 3 which is also known as San Felipe (elevation 1,370 m). Level 1 is developed for 470 m along the Murcielagos vein structure. The Murcielagos vein on level 2 is accessed via a 110 m crosscut and has 310 m of development on the vein. On level 3 the Murcielagos vein is accessed via a 200 m crosscut and has 100 m of development on the vein (Figure 3). Mining traditionally took place in vertical stopes via a resue cut and fill method. The high grade material was mined first followed by the waste material which is used as backfill on the floor of the development stope.

Exploration drilling undertaken by Continental Gold in 2008 identified a parallel high grade vein (the San Antonio vein) some 130 m north of the Murcielagos vein (Figure 3). Continental Gold subsequently developed an underground exploration cross cut on Level 1 which intersected the San Antonio vein in October 2008. Since November 2008 pilot plant production has processed mineral produced from the development of the exploration drive along the San Antonio vein. During 2009 over 200 m of exploration development had been established along the San Antonio vein. This later development appears to indicate that a third vein structure (Veta Centena) on a northwest-southeast trend and may either truncate or merge with the San Antonio vein in the east (Figure 3).

57

Other Exploration and Development History of the Buriticá Project

In addition to exploration and development at the Yaragua Mine, several surface mapping and sampling campaigns have been carried out in the area by different companies which have identified several zones of interest, as summarized below based on public reports.

  • To the west of the Yaragua Mine work done by Gran Colombia Resources Ltd., in the mid-1990s, delineated an area of hydrothermal alteration (quartz-sericite-pyrite) measuring 700 m by 400 m. Channel samples in a road cut gave values of up to 7.9 g/t Au. This area was considered to have excellent exploration potential by Gran Colombia Resources Ltd.

  • The La Mano prospect is located approximately 1 km to the south of the Yaragua Mine. La Mano was the focus of colluvial mining during Spanish colonial times. This prospect is centred on an area of massive quartz-limonite alteration in a siliceous breccia of probable hydrothermal origin. An adit at this prospect cuts strongly silicified tuffaceous sediments adjacent to the breccia zone exposed to the east. Sampling of this adit reported grades averaging approximately 5 g/t Au, 150 g/t Ag, 1.8% Pb and 4.6% Zn, over a 10 m to 20 m length. Continental Gold resampled the adit but was unable to replicate these values.
    Surface sampling (sample type unknown) on a regular 50 m by 50 m grid at La Mano, undertaken by Gran Colombia Resources Ltd, identified several anomalous zones with >0.1 g/t Au, one of which is centred close to a breccia zone adjacent to the existing adit. Three values with >1 g/t Au were reported, two of which occur on the eastern edge of the grid, to the west of the Tonusco fault, away from the immediate vicinity of the known mineralization.

58


  • The La Estera vein is located approximately 2 km south of the Yaragua Mine. A 100 m drift was excavated there in the early 1990’s but development was halted when unstable ground conditions were encountered. Average grades are reportedly 1,062 g/t Ag and 12 g/t Au, with an average vein thickness of 80 cm. The Sulliman and Pulpito veins, which also occur in the same area, have average grades of around 5 g/t Au and thicknesses around 0.5 m.

  • At the bottom of San Augustin creek, approximately 1 km north of the Yaragua Mine, a 40 m wide zone of sulphide mineralization has been encountered in sedimentary rocks. This consists of intergrown quartz crystals and coarse grained to sooty pyrite, plus associated areas of silicified pyritic argillite. It is reported that there were old workings in sediments to the northwest of this occurrence, and the mineralization appears to be associated with a zone of sediments surrounded by igneous rocks. Several samples taken from the contact zone averaged 1.45 g/t Au and 24.3 g/t Ag.

  • An additional breccia zone is reported at La Guacamaya, which is situated just north of the Clara creek in the northeast of the project area. This is interpreted as a contact breccia located on the contact between the dioritic intrusive and the sedimentary unit. Results of systematic sampling, gave average grades of 2.7 g/t Au in talus and 3.2 g/t Au for material from the creek. Other samples of surface outcrops gave values averaging 0.7 g/t Au.

Geological setting

Regional Geology

South American geology is dominated by three principal tectonic plates, the Pacific (Nazca) plate in the west, the Caribbean plate to the north and the South American plate which forms the bulk of the continental landmass. The Northern Andean Block forms a distinct geological segment of the Andean Cordillera in Colombia and is subdivided into three mountain chains, the Occidental (western), Central and Oriental (eastern) Cordillera.

Colombia’s geological history has been dominated by processes occurring along the accreting plate boundary between the Nazca and South American plates. Changes in the position of the subduction zone have resulted in the progressive accretion of the Cordilleran mountain chains onto the western margin of the Guiana Shield, forming the current complex geological framework. These plate tectonic processes are also strongly associated with ore forming processes and the formation of many of Colombia’s mineral deposits. The general geological setting of Colombia is illustrated in Figures 4 and 5.

59


Figure 4 - Map showing the plate tectonic setting of Colombia


60


Figure 5 - Simplified geological map of Colombia


61


Colombia comprises the Precambrian metamorphic and igneous basement rocks of the Guiana Shield in the east, Palaeozoic to Cainozoic igneous and sedimentary rocks which make up mountainous Cordillera, and Cainozoic sediments which dominate in the lower lying parts of the country.

Figure 5 highlights that fact that there are a variety of igneous rocks of different ages in the country. These igneous rocks form the underlying geology in most of the mountain ranges in the country and generally decrease in age from east to west. Palaeozoic magmatic rocks outcrop in the Oriental Cordillera along the border with Venezuela, whilst Mesozoic intrusive rocks are mainly found in the Central Cordillera. Cainozoic volcanic and intrusive rocks are found in the southern part of the Central Cordillera as well as in the Occidental Cordillera. Younger sedimentary cover, mainly of Cainozoic age, dominates at lower elevations in the Amazon basin, intermontane basins and along the coastal margins of the country.

Three major gold belts are defined in Colombia, the Choco, Middle Cauca and Segovia belts (Figure 6). Buriticá falls in the Middle Cauca belt which is situated between the Occidental and the Central Cordillera (Figure 7). This belt contains porphyry, and epithermal mineralization in addition to the mesothermal and breccia gold deposits seen at Buriticá. Figure 8 presents a map of Colombia showing the location of the main mineral deposits.

64


Local Geology

On a regional scale the Buriticá Project area is divided into two distinct geological domains. On the east the area is dominated by basic to intermediate igneous rocks, which are interpreted as representing mainly intrusive rocks of Cretaceous age. The western part of the area is dominated by marine sedimentary rocks, mostly argillites of Cretaceous to Tertiary age. The main contact between the sedimentary and igneous rocks runs through the centre of the Buriticá Project area, and local outcrops of hornfelsed sediments surrounded by igneous rocks are interpreted as roof pendants. Previous authors have noted that the project area is centred within an annular topographic and satellite anomaly. Major regional structures include the Cauca-Romeral fault located approximately 3 km to the east, along the Cauca River. A general geology map covering the project area is presented in Figure 9.

Property Geology

Previous mapping in the central part of the Buriticá Project area has identified the presence of the following rock types:

  • Sedimentary rocks: Mostly limonitic argillites with interbedded black chert. Generally unaltered. Inferred to belong to the Penderisco Formation of the Cañasgordas Group;

  • Igneous rocks: Intrusive and extrusive rocks consisting of quartz-diorite, diorite, porphyritic andesite, porphyritic dacite and volcanoclastics. These are interpreted as ranging in age from Cretaceous to Tertiary. Mineralization and alteration appear to be associated with younger (5 Ma to 6 Ma), less extensive, intrusive to hypabyssal bodies of andesitic to basaltic composition which together form the Buriticá complex;

  • Siliceous hornfels: In the vicinity of La Mano anomaly, a zone of highly siliceous rock is interpreted as representing a contact-metamorphic hornfels;

  • Breccias: Different types of breccia have been mapped in the area, several of which are interpreted as tectonic in origin. They are commonly clast supported and the clasts are often altered and pyritic; and

  • Quaternary deposits: These are mainly colluvial and landslip deposits that fill the valley bottoms.

Within the Yaragua - La Mano area, Continental Gold identified an early Upper Cretaceous volcanoclastic assemblage comprising basaltic andesites and associated volcano-sedimentary rocks. These are overlain by a Tertiary intermediate hypabyssal assemblage comprising the breccia deposits. A late stage basaltic assemblage, locally containing pillow lavas, caps the sequence.

Many faults have been noted during mapping at Buriticá, and satellite imagery for the area displays a large number of linear features many of which are likely to represent major faults. Two dominant fault directions striking between 70° and 100° have been noted. These east-west structures are interpreted as being the main control on the distribution of breccias, mineralization and hydrothermal alteration and appear to displace north-south lineaments which represent older structures.

65


Figure 9 - General geology map of the Buriticá project area

Mineralization - Overview

Four styles of mineralization are developed within the Buriticá Project area. At the Yaragua Mine both high grade quartz veins and mineralized breccias occur. At La Mano and San Augustin the mineralization is of a replacement style with low gold grades. On a regional scale there is potential for placer gold deposits in the main river systems and these may be present on Continental Gold’s concession holdings.

66


Vein Systems

The vein system and associated breccia bodies at Yaragua represents part of a classic porphyry – epithermal system (Figure 10). The Murcielagos and San Antonio veins are noted for their high gold content and associated base metals, notable zinc and lead, along with the lack of classic banded features and textures of epithermal veins. The presence of the breccia body and strong alteration indicate that the Yaragua mineralization formed in the deeper levels of a porphyry – epithermal system and will have close affinities to typical porphyry systems. Erosion of the entire epithermal system appears to have taken place leaving the deeper mesothermal veins and the breccia bodies exposed.

The mesothermal vein system at Yaragua comprises near vertical pyrite-sphalerite-galena sulphide veins, locally with minor amounts of quartz, chalcopyrite and calcite, which are generally less than 1 m in width and are associated with east – west fractures. Geometrical complexities such as en-echelon vein networks and pinch and swell structures may occur, which can be misleading if their nature is not fully understood. In addition, post-mineralization faulting may displace the veins on a centimetre to metre scale.

The relative location of the Buriticá deposit within the porphyry system is difficult to quantify based on the current volume of exploration data. From the style of quartz veining it is apparent that considerable erosion has taken place to remove the epithermal deposits. The presence of potassic alteration in the mafic-intermediate hostrocks indicates that a porphyry stock and associated mineralization may occur at depth. The relative position of the Buriticá Project is shown on Figure 10.

67


Figure 10 - Generalized model of a porphyry – epithermal system showing the relative position of the Buriticá Project

Mineralized Breccias

Porphyry copper style deposits are an important source of copper and gold in the Andean mountain chain, particularly in Chile and Peru. There are several known deposits of this type in Colombia, the largest of which is the Pegadorcito-Pantanos deposit with reported resources of 700 Mt averaging 0.74% Cu. Breccia bodies are a common feature in many porphyry copper and epithermal vein systems and the association has been recognized in public reports. Whilst often called hydrothermal they can also be formed by volcanic, magmatic or through tectonic processes. The breccia formation processes often overlap making specific genetic classification difficult, however important genetic sub-types include magmatic-hydrothermal (hypabyssal) and volcanic-hydrothermal (phreatic or diatreme breccias). The Buriticá breccia is likely to be of the magmatic-hydrothermal type. Figure 11 illustrates the generalised characteristics of a magmatic-hydrothermal breccia pipe above a porphyry stock and the Buriticá breccia is likely to be positioned in the upper portions of such a system. Imbricated clasts are present within the Yaragua breccias which further support the positioning within the breccia pipe environment.

Magmatic-hydrothermal breccias result from the release of fluids from hydrous igneous magmas and subsequent decompression to generate a variety of breccia types within a hypabyssal breccia body. Examples of mineralized magmatic-hydrothermal breccias include Rio Blanco (Chile), Mount Polley (Canada) and Lihir (PNG). The Buriticá breccia contains gold and sphalerite mineralization and may have affinities with the Kidston deposit in Queensland, Australia.

Replacement Mineralization

Replacement mineralization has been identified on the contact between the volcanoclastic sequence and the Buriticá complex. The mineralization is marked by zones of silica and pyrite alteration and generally low gold grades (<0.5 g/t Au). The mineralization at San Augustin and La Mano fall into this type.

68

Placer and Colluvial Gold Deposits

There is a long history of placer gold production dating from before the Spanish colonization of South America. Mineros S.A.’s alluvial dredging operation at El Bagre on the Rio Nechi has been one of Colombia’s most substantial producers of gold in recent years. The Rio Cauca and its tributaries have the potential to host placer gold deposits within Continental Gold’s Buriticá licences.

The formation of placer deposits results from the erosion of a hostrock containing a heavy mineral (e.g. gold, platinum, diamonds, ilmenite) and the sorting of the light from the heavy minerals during sedimentation. The placer deposit can be formed in either the marine or the fluvial environment. Water is a powerful erosive force and through its actions the grain size of the sediment load is reduced. This process liberates the heavy mineral which can then be deposited into the alluvial sediments.

The scale of the heavy mineral concentration can vary from small (bedding lamellae or cross bedding) to large scale regional systems (alluvial fans and beaches). In Colombia most gold placer deposits are located in small to intermediate scale features such as point bars within the river flood plain. Features such as potholes or irregularities in the morphology of the riverbed can also be significant in the deposition of placer gold.

Most placer mining occurs close to the current river channel, although potential should exist for palaeo river channels to host placer gold deposits.

Colluvial deposits derive from eroded material, and are usually located on slopes close to their original outcrop. This material has yet to be extensively reworked by water. Historically colluvial deposits were worked by the Spanish through hydraulic methods, effectively using water to wash the colluvial material into a river valley from where the gold could be recovered.

Mineralization – Yaragua Mine

As noted above four styles of mineralization are developed within the Buriticá Project area. The Yaragua Mine in particular contains both high grade sulphide veins and mineralized breccias which may be associated with a porphyry system.

The mineralization sequence is interpreted to be the following:

  • Emplacement of the Buriticá Complex and replacement mineralization on contacts,
  • Formation of un-mineralized fractures,
  • Potassic alteration possibly related to a porphyry intrusion at depth,
  • Emplacement of the Yaragua breccia and retrograde sericite alteration,
  • Emplacement of mesothermal gold veins, and
  • Formation of colluvial and placer gold deposits as a result of erosion.

Vein Mineralization and Alteration

Vein mineralization has been located at Yaragua, La Estera, Sulliman and Pulpito within the Buriticá project area. This section will focus on the Yaragua veins as these are the best described.

At Yaragua gold occurs in a series of sulphide rich veins with quartz-feldspar-calcite gangue minerals, ranging from 2 cm to 40 cm in thickness. The veins are typically hosted by andesites of the Buriticá Complex and are vertical or near vertical in orientation. Whilst the veins are present within the breccia bodies their continuity appears to be less well developed. In some parts of the Yaragua Mine there appear to be more than one sub-parallel mineralized vein. The veins give the impression of being formed along fault zones with parallel, relatively smooth, fractures forming the edges of the mined void in many places. The surface expression of the old workings confirm the presence of multiple veins and also indicate that the main vertical vein may be displaced by sub-horizontal structures. Crude sub-horizontal jointing was noted in several locations in the mine and on surface outcrops. Abundant finely disseminated pyrite was noted in the wallrocks to the mineralized veins.

The Murcielagos vein has been developed over a strike of some 470 m and dip length of 160 m. Gold is associated with sulphides, including pyrite, sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite. High gold grades are associated with a high sphalerite content and arsenic values are low.

Seven veins are developed in a corridor zone to the north of the Murcielagos vein. These veins are separated by between 2 m to 25 m of largely barren wall rock, strike east-west and are near vertical (Figure 12). The veins of the corridor zone are generally thin and have patchy gold values.

During the 2008 exploration program two new mineralized vein zones were identified by Continental Gold, the San Antonio vein and the Veta Sur zone (Figure 12). The San Antonio vein lies some 130 m north of the Murcielagos vein, follows a similar east – west trend and dips at close to vertical. The San Antonio vein is similar in appearance to the Murcielagos vein comprising pyrite, sphalerite with galena and chalcopyrite and accessory quartz-feldspar-calcite, in a series of sub-vertical veins and veinlets. Individual veins may reach 40 cm in thickness. Low grade gold mineralization (< 2 g/t Au) continues into the altered andesite wallrocks.

70


Figure 12 - Map of the Yaragua area showing the location of the main vein zones

In January 2009 the Veta Sur zone had been intersected in two surface drillholes, one further drill intersection was completed after the Snowden site visit. A number of small abandoned mines and trials exist in the vicinity. The trend of the mineralization is closed to the south-west and open to the north-east. This trend is coincident with magnetic and chargeability anomalies defined during Continental Gold’s ground geophysical surveys (Figure 13). The drillhole intersections indicate that the Veta Sur zone comprises a series of up to ten individual veins with widths of between 10 cm to 150 cm. The veins are of variable orientation clustered within a narrow south-west trending structural zone. As with the San Antonio vein the wallrocks between the high grade veins contains low grade gold mineralization. The whole mineralized zone, comprising both the veins and the mineralized wallrock, appears to be approximately 18 m to 20 m in true thickness based on the initial two boreholes. The high grade veins intersected in the drillholes is visually similar to the Murcielagos and San Antonio veins.

71

Breccia Mineralization and Alteration

The mineralized breccia is developed on the western side of the Yaragua Mine, and has been intersected underground in levels 1 and 2, as well as Continental Gold exploration drilling. The extent of the Yaragua breccia was modelled by Continental Gold in early 2008 using Datamine and is illustrated in Figure 14. A series of distinct breccia zones are apparent passing through the underground development. Two main breccia bodies occur, a large low grade zone to the west of the underground development and a smaller apophysis contain the higher grade mineralization which is present in the underground development. Subsequent drilling and surface mapping by Continental Gold has shown the western body to covers a substantial area (Figures 12 and 13).

72


Figure 14 - Datamine model of the Yaragua breccia body relative to the initial exploration drilling and underground development1. View looking north, length of level 1 (red) development = 450 m

The Yaragua breccia is typically variable in character and ranges from clast to matrix supported with the clasts ranging angular to rounded and from small to very large in size. The clasts are typically of the volcanic wallrocks.

Alteration is typically marked by sericite and pyrite (phyllic alteration) in both the matrix and as alteration of the constituent clasts grading down to quartz, kaolin, chlorite (argillic alteration) with associated silicification at depth. Quartz stockwork veining is not well developed. The clasts appears to vary between fresh and heavily altered examples.

Grades range between 0.2 g/t Au and 1.2 g/t Au on the eastern low grade portion of the main breccia body. Within the smaller apophysis of breccia a higher grade domain, with grades ranging between 3.0 g/t Au and 4.0 g/t Au and 1% Zn to 1.5% Zn, is developed. This higher grade domain appears to form a discrete lobe of breccia which does not outcrop on surface. Continental Gold have explored the high grade breccia over its 200 m by 250 m aerial extent and to a depth of 350 m vertically. Pyrite-sphalerite-galena mineralization is present as short veinlets, on clast rims, and disseminated within the breccia matrix.

The Yaragua breccia body is dominated by pyrite and sphalerite mineralization, with small quantities of galena and chalcopyrite. No detailed ore petrographic studies have been undertaken. Geochemical analysis undertaken as part of a metallurgical study provided an assay of 19 ppm Te (tellurium). This is considered a high value and is likely to indicate the presence of telluride mineral phases which may have metallurgical implications.

Replacement Mineralization

Replacement mineralization is developed on the north and south of the Buriticá complex in a sequence of thin bedded volcanoclastic sediments and tuffs. To the south at La Mano disseminated pyrite and low grade gold mineralization are developed over a 30m thickness of strongly chalcedonic silicification. To the north at San

Augustine an apparent manto of low grade gold mineralization is present in a zone of semi massive pyrite replacement in the same host lithology.

Placer and Colluvial Gold Deposits

As noted above the Rio Cauca and its tributaries have the potential to host placer gold deposits within Continental Gold’s Buriticá licences. No placer deposits were visited by Snowden during their site visits. Several areas of historical colluvial mining activity occur in the Buriticá Project, notably at La Mano. Small scale artisanal colluvial workings are present in the La Mina valley to the west of the Yaragua Mine.

Exploration

Overview

Continental Gold commenced exploration at the Buriticá Project in late 2007. By July 2009 a total of 49 surface drillholes (9,931 m) and 21 underground drillholes (2,285 m) had been completed for a total of 12,216 m. The initial focus was on the identification of bulk mineable mineral deposits and to develop these to a feasibility study stage and define new mineral resources. The initial exploration focus was on the Yaragua breccia and La Mano deposits. However low grades were returned from La Mano and the aerial extent of the high grade breccia proved to be limited. The subsequent discovery of the high grade San Antonio vein and the Veta Sur zone during drilling to define the limits of the Yaragua breccia has refocused Continental Gold’s exploration efforts.

Snowden consider that the Buriticá project as a whole has good potential for both small tonnage high grade vein deposits and bulk mineable deposits. The identification of the San Antonio vein confirms the potential for discovery of new vein zones and the Yaragua breccia confirms potential bulk mineable deposits in the area. In addition potential also exists for the mining of placer deposits.

Continental Gold continued drilling after the Snowden site visit in January 2009 and as a result Snowden are unable to verify the location of drillholes and channel samples completed after the site visit. This applies to the following San Antonio drillholes; BUSY 28 to BUSY 39, BUUY 14 to BUUY 20, and channel samples 33E to 87E. Snowden has no reason to doubt the drilling and underground channel locations provided by Continental Gold.

High Grade Veins

Continental Gold’s exploration focus is now on the evaluation of the San Antonio and associated veins and the Veta Sur zone. Exploration drilling continues at San Antonio and commenced during April 2009 at Veta Sur. Continental Gold has continued the underground development which is being undertaken to provide intersections of the San Antonio vein for exploration purposes. Summary drilling results for the San Antonio vein are provided in Tables 1 and 2. Figure 15 provides a longitudinal section of the San Antonio vein showing the distribution of the drillhole assays. Figure 16 shows the location of the underground channel samples in the exploration development along the San Antonio vein.

The information provided in Tables 1 and 2 represents Exploration Results as defined by the classifications adopted by the CIM in December 2005. The mean drillhole grades presented in Table 1 are calculated over the drilled length of the mineralized intersection with no correction for core recovery. In some drillholes poor core recovery was experienced. The drillhole orientations may also be oblique to the strike of the subvertically dipping veins and as a result the grades may not be representative of the grade over the true mineralized thickness. The estimated true thickness of the mineralization is provided in Table 1 for reference purposes.

In three drillholes (BUSY 11, BUSY 30 and BUUY 14) Continental Gold used an average grade derived from laboratory original and repeat assays in their grade calculation. In order to maintain the sample support with the rest of the sample set Snowden has used only the original assay values in the calculation of the intersection grades in Table 1. As a result small differences occur between the grades presented in this report and those used by Continental Gold.

Figure 16 - Plan showing the exploration development on the San Antonio vein, channel sample locations and grades

The underground channel grades presented in Table 2 and Figure 16 have been calculated assuming a minimum mining width of 1 m and a cut off grade of 5 g/t Au. In cases where low grade quartz vein is present the whole vein zone is included. Wallrock material is included in equal proportions on either side of narrow vein zones in order to achieve the minimum thickness of 1m. It should be noted that these thickness and grade parameters have not been applied to the drillhole intersections presented in Table 1 and Figure 15. Continental Gold is in the process of defining economic and mining parameters for the Buriticá project which will be used for future mine planning and resource estimation purposes.

In three channels (12W, 18W and 75E) Continental Gold used an average grade derived from laboratory original and repeat assays in their calculation. As detailed above, Snowden has used only the original assay values in the calculation of the channel intersection grades in order to maintain the sample support with the rest of the dataset. Small differences may occur between the grades presented in this report and those used by Continental Gold.

The initial exploration drilling results for Veta Sur are summarized in Table 3. Drilling is at a very early stage at Veta Sur and the understanding of the orientation and continuity of the mineralization intersected in the drillholes is poor. As a result the thickness and grades provided in Table 3 are based on drill intersections which may be oblique to the strike of the subvertically dipping veins and do not represent the true thickness of the mineralization. The information provided in Table 3 represents Exploration Results as defined by the classifications adopted by the CIM in December 2005.

Yaragua Breccia

Continental Gold’s initial exploration focus was on the Yaragua breccia in order to define a mineral resource based on a potentially bulk mineable deposit. Based on their initial exploration results Continental Gold developed a geological model of the breccia body as illustrated in Figure 14. Two distinct portions were defined, the low grade western body and the smaller, higher grade, eastern apophysis passing through the underground workings.

Regional Reconnaissance

Continental Gold have commenced with systematic property-wide reconnaissance prospecting and sampling in order to identify further exploration targets and facilitate the reduction of land holdings before contract signature and registration is requested by Ingeominas. Satellite imagery has been acquired to support a structural, alteration and geological interpretation of the entire project area in order to facilitate this.

Continental Gold has completed ground magnetic and IP surveys over the Yaragua area. These have provided considerable information on the structural trends and the geological setting of the Yaragua area. The magnetic results clearly show the main fault structures which are exploited by the main veins. The Veta Sur zone appears to correlate well with a moderate to strong chargeability anomaly from the IP survey data, suggesting the Veta Sur structural zone extends to the south-west. A 100 m by 25 m soil geochemistry program is in progress over this area. The geophysical survey results are summarized on Figure 13.

Drilling

In December 2007 Continental Gold commenced drilling at the Buriticá project. There are no records of any historical drilling having taken place.

During the 2008 Snowden site visit two contract drill rigs were operating at Yaragua and La Mano respectively. A Longyear LF 38 was completing the second of a planned four holes from a drill pad located above the western end of the Yaragua Mine, and a man portable rig was on site at La Mano.

By July 2009 a total of 49 surface drillholes (9,931 m) and 21 underground drillholes (2,285 m) had been completed including the redrill of one of the two La Mano holes due to poor core recoveries obtained during drilling with the man portable rig.

Tables 4 and 5 summarize the drilling at Yaragua to date. On completion of drilling all surface holes are capped with a cement plinth and plastic casing. Where possible underground drillholes are also capped.

Surveys

Survey work at Buriticá and the Yaragua Mine has been carried out by two contract surveyors on behalf of Continental Gold. In order to establish consistency and continuity in the surveying Continental Gold has appointed a reputable Colombian surveying contractor, GEOCAM S.A., Survey Engineers, on a permanent basis.

Field geological crews use hand held Garmin GPS units for reconnaissance and routine exploration work. Hand held units are routinely used at an exploration stage where an accuracy of ±5 m is acceptable, once a project develops into an evaluation or development stage the need for accurate surveying becomes essential.

The survey work for the Yaragua Mine includes the surveyed topography, covering an area of approximately 550 m by 150 m, and the underground surveying of the three levels developed at the mine. Continental Gold have tied the various surveys into a common grid based upon the use of a differential GPS linked into a base station located at Santa Fe de Antioquia some 23 km to the south-east. Continental Gold are expanding the Yaragua topography survey to cover a wider area for mine planning and design purposes based on the larger throughput operation Continental Gold are hoping to achieve.

Downhole surveys for the Yaragua drilling are carried out using a Flexit survey tool. This modern digital survey tools provides multiple survey readings which can be transferred directly to a computer via a special adaptor supplied with the survey tool. All drillhole collars are surveyed by the surveying contractor once drilling of the holes is completed from the surface drill pads or the underground drilling stations.

Sampling and Analysis

Pre-Continental Gold Sampling

Historical sampling information from the underground development at Yaragua is limited although some sample data from the period that Bulletco operated the mine is available. It is understood that this was assayed through the Yaragua Mine laboratory.

Yaragua Mine Laboratory

The mine laboratory at Yaragua is a basic fire assay facility which is used for run of mine assays. Checks undertaken by Continental Gold on the accuracy of the Yaragua laboratory suggest that the laboratory generally under reports gold grade by approximately 20%, with a detection limit of 0.4 g/t. The laboratory offers a turn round time of 24 hours for samples.

The laboratory fulfils an important role in the daily operation of the mine and is designed for the needs of a small scale operation exploiting high grade narrow vein gold deposits. Assays from the mine laboratory are not suitable for mineral resource estimation.

Continental Gold Sampling Procedures and Protocols

The following is a description of Continental Gold’s sampling procedures and protocols. These apply to all samples and in particular the underground channel samples and the drilling samples which will be used in resource estimation. Continental Gold developed their sampling procedures and protocols during 2007. These have been further developed with time in order to better suit geological, sampling and data capture requirements.

The system revolves around the use of a sample specific card which has three removable numbered tickets. Descriptions of the sample location, type, lithology, and mineralization are recorded. In the case of rock samples and underground channel samples all three sample number tickets are inserted into the sample bag.

Database and Data Capture

Continental Gold has established an Excel based database for all of their exploration sampling data. The sample cards provide the field records of each individual sample collected and this information is compiled, along with the assay data, into the database which is managed by the database geologist based in Medellín. Each project geologist receives a working copy of their project from the database geologist on a weekly basis. The project geologists update this with their new sampling and send an updated copy of the project database to Medellín to update the master database. The database geologist then checks the updated details for consistency and uploads new assay results.

82


Underground Sampling

Underground channel sampling of the breccia body at the Yaragua Mine and the San Antonio vein has been undertaken by Continental Gold.

Sampling of the San Antonio vein comprises channels in the roof of the underground development spaced at 3 m intervals. The channel positions and sample intervals are measured from known positions within the underground development and marked with spray paint prior to collection. Sample methodology comprises a central sample of the main vein zone and two samples of the adjacent wallrocks, one on each side of the vein sample. The vein samples vary between 20 cm and 60 cm in width. Samples are collected by hammer and chisel into a collection tray. In areas where more than one vein is developed additional vein samples are collected honouring the geology of the vein system.

In the breccia areas channel samples are collected as a continuous horizontal sequence in the sidewall of the underground development. Individual channel samples are up to 1.5 m in length, with a width of 10 cm width and depth of approximately 2 cm. This produces 5 kg to 10 kg of sample per channel. The sample intervals are measured from known positions within the underground development and marked with spray paint prior to collection. The channels are collected approximately 1 m above floor level and are collected by samplers using a hammer and chisel. The sample material is collected in plastic sheeting or sacking placed on the floor of the development. Care is taken not to contaminate the sample with material from the floor. On completion of channel sampling digital photographs are taken to provide a permanent record of the channel sample.

All samples are collected in plastic sample bags and double bagged. The sample number is written on the sample bag and the three paper sample tickets are placed between the two sample bags. Finally the sample bags are sealed with tape.

Drill Core Logging and Sampling Procedures

At the drill site the drill crew measure core runs and mark these with wooden blocks placed in the core trays in keeping with industry norms. Borehole numbers and box numbers are recorded on the outside of the core boxes. Once full the core boxes are sealed with a lid and strapped to prevent movement or loss of core during transport to the Continental Gold core yard. From the Yaragua drilling sites the core boxes are carried by hand or by mule up to the Buriticá road and then transported by vehicle to the core yard.

Continental Gold’s core yard facility is located 590 m south - west of the Yaragua Mine. The core yard is simple but effective and is located adjacent to the Buriticá road. A core storage shed has been constructed as a timber frame with wire mesh walls and a tin roof. Core is stored on locally constructed shelving. The core storage shed is locked and guarded at night. Continental Gold has moved approximately half of the Buriticá core to a warehouse in Medellín for storage.

Core logging is undertaken using an A3 sized paper logging sheet. Continental Gold has produced good geological reference books (including rock colour carts, rock classification and alteration tables) for the geologists to assist them in logging the core. Initially core logging comprises geological and geotechnical logging in a dedicated core logging area. The geotechnical logging incorporates total core recovery (TCR) and rock quality designation (RQD) measurement.

Once logged the core is marked for sampling. In the process core is fitted together as close as possible to its original position. Sample intervals are based on geological contacts with a maximum sample interval of 1.50 m. The core is marked continuously along the core to mark the cut line for the core saw operator.

83


Finally all geological logging and sample information is manually captured into the Excel database from the logging sheets.

Digital photos are taken of the core before cutting and sampling. The core is photographed two boxes at a time with the core having been washed to remove surfical dirt and dust. A small plastic sign is completed which identifies the project name, hole number, box number, and the from – to meterages. Continental Gold has installed two core saws at the core yard and have training local operators in their use.

Sampling is undertaken by collecting half the core and placing this into a plastic sample bag. One sample ticket, inside a small plastic packet, is placed inside the sample bag with the core. A second sample ticket is physically taped to the bag as it is sealed. The taped and sealed sample bag is then placed in a second sample bag which is sealed for dispatch to the laboratory. The laboratory is under instructions to report any samples where the sample tape is broken on arrival. The third sample ticket from the sample reference sheet is placed in a small plastic bag and placed in the core box as a reference. Five to six sealed sample bags are packed in rice bags for transportation to Medellín. The sample numbers are written on the outside of the rice sacks for reference.

Quality Control and Data Verification Procedures

Continental Gold routinely inserts CRM into the sample sequences as part of its QAQC procedures. For rock and soil samples Continental Gold inserts one blank and one CRM for every 25 samples. For samples of drill core, one blank and one CRM are inserted for every 20 samples. If a shipment contains less than 25 samples, then one blank and one CRM must be inserted with each batch.

The results of CRM samples are plotted on an ongoing basis. If the results returned from the accredited assay laboratory for an CRM sample differ form the certified value by more than 20%, or if the assay for the blank exceeds 50 ppb Au, the entire batch of samples will be reassayed. In the case of soil and sediment samples, the batch must be re-run if the assay of the blank exceeds 25 ppb Au. Coarse reject material will be used for the reassaying of rock samples.

A check assay program is utilized through the use of a second accredited laboratory. Additionally field duplicates are routinely collected every 20 samples for soil, stream sediment and underground channel samples. Continental Gold also resubmit assay pulps from drill samples to the original assay laboratory as a further QAQC measure.

Full details of the Continental Gold QAQC procedures and data verification undertaken by Snowden are presented in the Snowden Buriticá Report.

Security of Samples

All samples collected by Continental Gold are stored either at the Yaragua Mine site, the Buriticá core yard or the Medellin warehouse. Sample batches are transported from Buriticá to Continental Gold’s office in Medellin by Continental Gold’s internal risk staff. The risk personnel sign for the receipt of the samples from the project geologist and the consignment is signed for and checked on delivery in Medellin. Continental Gold staff are also responsible for the delivery to and collection of samples from the sample preparation laboratory in Medellin. Continental Gold will retain all sample material for possible future use. This can be for internal QCAC purposes or for future third party due diligence.

Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserve Estimates

There are no existing resource estimates for any deposits within the Buriticá Project area. Exploration by Continental Gold has successfully identified the San Antonio vein, the Veta Sur zone and the Yaragua Breccia as exploration targets. Snowden consider that the exploration of the Yaragua Mine and its extensions represent an advance exploration property.

Continental Gold has completed scoping metallurgical testwork on run of mine material from the Murcielagos vein and a composite sample of the Yaragua breccia. Cyanidation testwork has also been completed on a composite sample of gravity and flotation concentrate material derived from the San Antonio vein. This initial testwork indicates that the recover of gold appears to be viable from both vein deposits and the Yaragua breccia.

84


Exploration and Development

Continental Gold’s exploration priority is in the definition of the strike and depth extents of the San Antonio vein system and the identification of other high grade veins in the vicinity of the Yaragua Mine. Continental Gold is currently drilling the San Antonio vein structure and intend to continue with this exploration during 2009 with the intention of defining a mineral resource. The planned exploration will comprise both surface and underground drilling and an underground exploration program.

A wide zone of mineralization has been identified in two exploration boreholes at Veta Sur, to the south-west of the Yaragua Mines. This zone of mineralization has the potential to host either a larger bulk tonnage target, exploiting several veins, or narrow, high grade, individual veins similar to the Murcielagos and San Antonio veins. Surface drilling recommenced on the Veta Sur zone in April 2009.

Regional exploration will continue for the underlying porphyry system of which the vein systems of the Yaragua breccia body are potentially a component. Ground magnetics and an IP/resistivity survey have been undertaken over Buriticá. It appears that both geophysical techniques will be useful in ongoing exploration.

Continental Gold will also undertake property-wide reconnaissance prospecting and sampling. This work will include the evaluation of known gold workings and areas where mineralization and alteration have been identified by past workers. Satellite imagery has been acquired to support a structural, alteration and geological interpretation of the Buriticá Project area. Consideration could be given to undertaking an airborne geophysical survey in order to produce additional structural and geological information. Continental Gold’s reconnaissance exploration work will be used to prioritize target areas and facilitate the reduction of land holdings before contract signature and registration in the National Mining Register is requested by Ingeominas.

Continental Gold has proposed an exploration budget of $7,689,740 for the Buriticá Project for the eighteen month period between January 2010 and June 2011 (Table 6). This incorporates both the evaluation of the vein and breccia deposits with ongoing regional reconnaissance work. The budget includes provision for 20,500 m of surface and underground drilling and 25,600 laboratory assays, but excludes mining related cost items, such as underground development for exploration purposes, or grade control activities such as face mapping, grade control sampling and assaying, which will be self-funded. Snowden considers that the scope of work is appropriate to advance the Buriticá Project and the budget is realistic.

Other Properties of Continental Gold

In addition to the Buriticá Project discussed under “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Properties –The Colombia Projects – Material Properties of Continental Gold”, Continental Gold has eight other projects being the Anza, Arenosa, Berlin, Dojura, Dominical, Lunareja, Santander and Zaragoza Projects, which are not considered to be material properties of Continental Gold and are not anticipated to be material properties of the Resulting Issuer. The following is a location map for these properties.

86


The following disclosure relating to the other projects of Continental Gold is a summary prepared by Stuart A. Moller, P.Geo., Vice-President Exploration of Continental Gold. Mr. Moller is a “qualified person” in accordance with NI 43-101, but he is not independent of Continental Gold. The Resulting Issuer intends to complete smaller scale exploration programs on these properties consisting of geological mapping, surface sampling, target identification and diamond drilling. None of the mineral exploration interests of Continental Gold contain any defined Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves (as such terms are defined in NI 43-101). Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation might not be able to overcome. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer”.

87


The Anza Project

The Anza Project consists of five concession contracts totalling 16,311 hectares and eleven applications totalling 34,980 hectares. The concession contracts are subject to a joint venture. See “Material Contracts – Consorcio Niverengo Joint Venture Consortium”. The property is located on the eastern edge of the Western Cordillera in the Antioquia Department 50 km west of Medellín. Access is good on paved and secondary roads and most of the project area is reasonably accessible. The area is typified by rolling hills and there is moderate agricultural development as well as an active gypsum mine.

The Anza Project is in an accreted terrain of Cretaceous age characterized by a sequence of oceanic basalts and flysche-type sediments. Currently known mineralization is centered on an active open pit and underground gypsum mine owned by Colombian company Exman Ltda. (“Exman”) which property is part of the Consorcio Niverengo Joint Venture Consortium. In the course of mining, Exman encountered lenses of massive sulphide which at first were sent to the dump and later stockpiled. On further inspection, these sulphides were found to represent lenses up to several metres thick of massive zinc-lead mineralization with a second facies of gold-bearing, copper-rich siliceous material in a Kuroko-type volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) environment. Both mineralization types are interbedded with lenses of massive gypsum.

88


Reconnaissance mapping, stream sediment and float sampling indicate that the VMS-bearing stratigraphic horizon strikes north-south and that the minimum strike length with favourable characteristics is 2 km. No systematic exploration or drilling have been done on the property but reconnaissance grab samples taken by Continental Gold and others of the main lenses of zinc-lead-copper mineralization average 20% Zn, 1% Cu, 15% Pb and 5 g/t Au. Several samples of the siliceous mineralization have returned gold values in excess of 1 g/t Au with a maximum of 39 g/t Au.

Future exploration work plans and budgets will be determined pursuant to the terms of the Consorcio Niverengo Joint Venture Consortium. A work program is currently under consideration.

The Arenosa Project

The Arenosa Project consists of ten concession contracts totalling 9,482 hectares and one application of 1,394 hectares. The property is located 22 km from the town of Remedios in the Antioquia Department. The topography is characterized by low, rolling hills and access is good via a series of secondary dirt roads.

The concession area is underlain by a sequence of Palaeozoic metamorphic rocks which is intruded by a Cretaceous age quartz diorite body. Known mineralization consists of a number of mesothermal gold quartz veins, several of which have been worked by small miners in the past. The principal vein has been located in float and outcrop along more than 4 km of strike, half of which is on the property. This vein reaches a maximum of 4 m in width but averages about 1 m.

89


Past work on the property includes a small drilling program performed by a prior owner. This work indicated that the main vein continues down-dip for at least an additional 100 m below the lowest level of the historical workings in the small-scale El Desafio Mine. Three drill intersections contained anomalous but sub-economic gold values. Work completed by Continental Gold to date includes first pass stream sediment sampling and reconnaissance-scale mapping and sampling of the entire concession area along with more detailed sampling in the El Desafio mine which is developed on a 100 m strike segment of the principal vein. Gold grades in the mine are potentially economic but on a small scale that is not currently of interest to Continental Gold. No further work is planned on the Arenosa property for 2010.

The Berlin Project

The Berlin Project consists of twelve concession contracts totalling 28,289 hectares and two applications totalling 15,000 hectares. The project area is located in Antioquia Department 90 km north of Medellín. Access is through Yarumal on paved road, and through Briceño or San Andreas to the property on dirt roads. The area is very sparsely populated, the terrain is steep, and much of the concession area is only accessible by mule or on foot.

90


The area is underlain by a sequence of Palaeozoic metamorphic rocks which are cut by the regionally important Romeral fault zone. Known mineralization is principally in the form of mesothermal gold veins. It occurs in three belts totalling 15 km of strike length. The historical Berlin Mine (which is within the property boundary) produced over 400,000 oz of gold in the 1930’s and 1940’s from a single lode up to 20 m thick at a mining cut-off grade of 8-10 g/t Au. The 8 km long strike trend includes the Berlin Mine and the historical Rosario Mine which has similar quartz veins up to 6 m thick. The northern and eastern trends shown on the above figure include numerous small historical workings which have not yet been evaluated by Continental Gold.

Continental Gold considers Berlin to be a highly prospective property which merits a significant work program including diamond drilling. Surface mapping and sampling have begun and over 1,000 samples have been taken. Work to date has verified the presence of the mineralized structure which defines the Berlin-Rosario trend and has identified one promising new area of anomalous gold mineralization. The area has had intermittent guerrilla activity which is believed to be transient. Exploration crews will be mobilized when conditions permit future exploration work.

91


The Dojura Project

The Dojura Project consists of seven concession contracts totalling 37,235 hectares and six applications totalling 49,235 hectares. The property is located in the Chocó Department 30 km south of the Departmental capital city of Quibdó. Access is via paved road two hours south from Quibdó and from that point via river canoe to the property. The area is sparsely populated and once on site, access is by boat and mule.

The Dojura Project is subject to a joint venture with AngloGold Ashanti Limited. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Material Contracts – AngloGold Joint Venture”. Although the joint venture was concluded in October, 2006, AngloGold has just recently been able to visit the property due to security concerns. It is not clear when security conditions will permit ongoing exploration work.

92


Alluvial gold has been produced for over 400 years from the Andagueda River which flows along the south side of the Dojura Project. Historically, large dredges were used but current production comes from smaller scale artisanal operations. Altered intrusive rock with disseminated sulphide mineralization has been found in the project area, and the Dojura Project is considered to have potential for porphyry-style gold and copper mineralization. Reconnaissance reports from the 1960’s describe an 8 by 5 km “mineralized” zone located primarily within the Dojura Project with significant alteration which is centered on a volcanic neck (see above figure).

93


The Dominical Project

The Dominical Project consists of two concession contracts totalling 7,735 hectares and two applications totalling 7,773 hectares. It is located in southern Colombia in the Cauca Department. Access is via Popayán to the Pasto road and the village of La Vega. The area is sparsely populated, terrain is steep and rugged, and access within the concessions is primarily by mule.

The Dominical Project is subject to a joint venture with AngloGold Ashanti Limited. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Material Contracts – AngloGold Joint Venture”.

94


The Dominical Project lies at the southern end of a number of small vein mines that make up the Dominical-Cerro Negro mineralized zone. Work during the 1980’s by the Japanese International Cooperation Agency – Metal Mining Agency of Japan led to the discovery of sub-economic porphyry copper-gold mineralization at the Piedra Sentada and Dominical prospects. Although both of these prospects lie outside the Dominical Project, their presence and geological projections indicate that there is potential for the discovery of additional porphyry style copper-gold and vein gold mineralization on the Dominical Project.

AngloGold Ashanti Limited has a large property position on the prospective geological trend which includes the Dominical Project. AngloGold Ashanti Limited has conducted preliminary exploration throughout the region and this included stream sediment collection, geologic mapping, and rock chip sampling on the Dominical property. Based on published reports and direct communications, the principal findings to date of this work include the following:

  • Mapping and sampling have identified a 3 km2 area of potential for porphyry gold-copper mineralization within the Dominical Project with gold grades in individual samples ranging up to 2.9 g/t Au. Mineralization has been found in dioritic intrusive rocks and it is accompanied by potassic alteration.
  • Epithermal mineralization has been identified in another area on the Dominical Project with gold grades in individual samples ranging from 0.4 – 8.1 g/t Au.
  • No trenching or drilling has been done to date and there are no resources or reserves included within the Dominical Project.

AngloGold is in the process of determining future exploration programs.

The Lunareja Project

The Lunareja Project consists of nine concession contracts totalling 8,660 hectares and one application totalling 10,000 hectares. The two small exploration concessions in the center of the figure below are within the boundaries of a national park, but as the mineral rights were granted prior to the establishment of the park, Continental Gold has the right to explore and develop the concessions. The Lunareja Project is located 65 km west of Medellín. Access is via paved road to the town of Urrao, and then a 14 km mule trip. The known mineralization is located on the Paramo de Frontino at an elevation of 3,000 - 4,000 m. The Paramo de Frontino is uninhabited and all supplies must be brought in from Urrao.

The Lunareja Project contains an Ag-Zn-Au-Cu bearing, intermediate sulphidation, epithermal vein system which is hosted by a Neogene age volcanic plug. The known vein strikes east-west, dips sub-vertically and has been traced for more than 4 km along strike. It is exposed over more than 500 vertical m in the steep terrain. The vein varies from 10 to 20 m in width and grades outward into a stockwork zone that can be up to 15 m wide on either side of the vein. Reconnaissance sampling indicates that mineralized portions of the vein have grades ranging from 2-8 g/t Au, 60-5,000 g/t Ag, 0.5% copper, and 0.5 -15% zinc.

Several reconnaissance-scale visits have been made by previous owners of the property including affiliates of Bulletco. Continental Gold has made two reconnaissance trips with no other significant work to date and no significant work is planned for 2010 on the property.

95


The Santander Project

The Santander Project consists of three concession contracts totalling 5,972 hectares and one application of 5,000 hectares. The project area is 35 km northeast of the major city of Bucaramanga. It is divided into three non-contiguous blocks, each at relatively high altitude in sparsely populated country with dirt road access only to parts of the concessions.

96


The project area is underlain by a complex assemblage of Precambrian and Palaeozoic metamorphic rocks and Cretaceous felsic-intermediate intrusions. The three blocks border the California and Vetas mining districts on the west, east and southeast. Mineralization in the district is broadly related to a Jurassic porphyry system and includes the high sulphidation epithermal gold deposit at Angostura (10.2 Moz measured and indicated resource, Greystar Resources Ltd.), the significant new high grade gold discoveries recently reported by Ventana Gold Corp., and numerous precious metal vein occurrences in the Vetas District.

Other than initial reconnaissance sampling, Continental Gold has not carried out any significant work in the area and there is no significant mineralization that is known on the concessions. No significant work is planned for 2010 on the property.

The Zaragoza Project

The Zaragoza project consists of 56 concession contracts totaling 57,459 hectares and two applications totaling 12,000 hectares. The project is located in the eastern part of Antioquia Department 160 kilometers north-east of Medellín. It includes the towns of El Bagre, Zaragoza, and Machuca. The project is accessed from the north by paved road and there are scheduled daily flights from Medellín to both the El Bagre and Otú airports. Elevation varies from 100-200 meters and the climate is semi-tropical. The area is considered to be relatively safe from guerilla activity.

97


Regional geology is dominated by a sequence of Precambrian schists and gneisses which have been cut by several large bodies of felsic intrusive rocks. This sequence is cut by the regionally significant, north-south trending, Otú strike-slip fault. This fault has apparently been reactivated at various times in the regions geologic history and appears to be fundamental to the development of most of the known mineral occurrences in the district.

The greater El Bagre, Zaragoza, Frontino Mine area is one of Colombia’s most significant historical gold producers with over 20 Moz having been produced from alluvial and hard rock sources. The Continental Gold land package has dozens of known gold occurrences (see figure).These are mostly smaller quartz veins and lodes with little documented production. They are generally mesothermal in character, and appear to be controlled by secondary structures related to the Otú strike-slip fault. Larger veins of similar geological character have been mined ten kilometers to the south at Frontino (4-5 Moz historical production) and at the Limon Mine five kilometers south of Zaragoza which Continental Gold sold in February 2009 (see “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold –Material Contracts – Zaragoza Sale Agreement”). Large-scale alluvial production has occurred in several areas adjacent to the Continental claims, especially from the Nechi River in the north. Colombian company Mineros de Antioquia currently operates multiple dredges downstream from El Bagre.

98


Continental Gold has performed first pass reconnaissance scale exploration over approximately 50% of the concession area. This work has documented the presence of the mines shown on the accompanying figure. Several of these including Oro Verde, La Diamantina, Machuca, and Los Delerios were sampled on multiple levels and the presence of gold-mineralized veins has been documented in all of them. Two diamond drill holes were drilled at the Limon Mine in 2008. These were successful in documenting the down-dip continuation of the vein. The mine was also dewatered and resampled on levels 6 and 7 but results were such that Continental subsequently sold the property. Three additional holes were drilled at the Mangos Mine at Machuca with generally negative results. The access decline at Mangos was also rehabilitated. The Mangos Mine is now subject to a third-party operating agreement and Continental Gold is not conducting any additional exploration in that area. Continental considers that its landholdings in the Zaragoza project area are highly prospective for numerous smaller, high grade vein mining operations, however no significant work has been planned for 2010 on this property by Continental.

99


Bullet Option Agreement Properties

Pursuant to the Bullet Option Agreement (see “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Material Contracts – Bullet Option Agreement”), Continental Gold has the right to acquire the “Bullet Properties”. Continental Gold is currently assessing the potential of the Bullet Properties and does not have any plan to acquire any of the Bullet Properties at this time. None of the Bullet Properties contains any defined Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves. Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation might not be able to overcome. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer”.

DIVIDENDS OR DISTRIBUTIONS

Continental Gold has never declared or paid cash dividends or distributions on Continental Gold Shares.

Results of Operations

Continental Gold is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of precious and base metal properties. Continental Gold has the rights to explore and develop nine precious and base metal exploration projects in Colombia totalling approximately 200,000 hectares herein referred to as the “Colombia Projects”. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Properties – The Colombia Projects" and “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer”. As is typical with such companies, losses are incurred in the exploration stages, which are typically funded through equity financing.

Continental Gold commenced operations on April 26, 2007. Pursuant to a non-arm’s length agreement dated December 20, 2007, Bulletco transferred and assigned to Continental Gold certain holdings of the mineral rights in Colombia over which it had direction and control.

As at the date of this Information Circular, Continental Gold has an estimated working capital balance of $1.0 million. Continental Gold (the Resulting Issuer) proposes to undertake an exploration program on the Buriticá Project in the amount of $7.7 million, exploration programs on the other Colombia Projecs in the amount of $2.6 million and estimates that general and administrative expenses will total $4,500,000 in the eighteen month period following the date of this Information Circular. See “Part V – Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Available Funds and Principal Purposes”. The ability of Continental Gold to continue in operation depends on the support of Grupo and Bulletco. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer”.

Continental Gold has the following assets which impact liquidity:

  (a)

Continental Gold had pre-paid tax balances of $35,000 for the period ended December 31, 2007, $3,117 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and $73,386 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Continental Gold prepays state property fee obligations associated with the Colombia Projects. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Colombia Mining Legislation – Taxes and Royalties”;

     
  (b)

Continental Gold had pre-paid exploration costs of $20,265 for the period ended December 31, 2007, $133,780 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and $265,632 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Continental Gold pre-pays for exploration services as a result of deposits and advances made to secure exploration services in the normal course of business;

     
  (c)

Continental Gold had pre-paid drilling costs of $nil for the period ended December 31, 2007, $nil for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and $320,431 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Continental Gold pre-pays for drilling services as a result of deposits and advances made to secure drilling services in the normal course of business. Pre-paid drilling costs were paid to a non-arm’s length party. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions”; and

105



  (d)

Continental Gold had an equipment advance of $104,852 for the period ended December 31, 2007, $nil for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and $80,133 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Continental Gold made an advance for mining exploration equipment in the normal course of business.

Continental Gold has the following liabilities which do not immediately impact liquidity:

  (a)

Continental Gold has recorded a future income tax liability of $12,884,000 for the period ended December 31, 2007, $12,318,500 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and $12,318,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The future income tax liability arises from the temporary difference between the tax value and the carrying value of Continental Gold’s mineral properties, from which are deducted certain costs which are ineligible for future income tax recovery. There is no liability to pay any of these taxes until there is a disposition of the mineral properties; and

     
  (b)

Continental Gold has recorded asset retirement obligations of $52,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. The asset retirement obligations are based on management’s estimates of costs to abandon and reclaim mineral properties and facilities as well as an estimate of the future timing of costs to be incurred with respect to the Buriticá Project. Continental Gold has estimated its total asset retirement obligations to be $52,000 at December 31, 2008 based on a total future liability of approximately $328,000 and a credit adjusted risk-free rate of 13%. Reclamation is expected to occur in the year 2023. Further adjustments will be made to the asset retirement obligations in the future depending on changes in management’s estimates of costs to abandon and reclaim mineral properties and facilities, and/or estimates of the future timing of costs to be incurred.

Capital Resources

As the Colombia Projects are at the exploration stage, Continental Gold has no sources of revenue. The availability of equity capital, and the price at which additional equity could be issued, is dependent upon the success of Continental Gold's exploration activities, and upon the state of the capital markets generally. Additional financing may not be available on terms favourable to Continental Gold or at all.

Pursuant to the private placement completed by Continental Gold on December 20, 2007 (see “Part IV –Information Concerning Continental Gold – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity), Bulletco provided a guarantee on a good faith basis only, to provide an additional $5,120,000 of equity to Continental Gold if Continental Gold had not completed an intial public offering by June 20, 2008. Pursuant to this guarantee, as at September 30, 2009, Bulletco and Grupo have invested a total of $2,666,056 in Continental Gold. Effective November 27, 2009, the subscribers of the December 20, 2007 private placement waived the Bulletco guarantee in consideration for the guarantee of the Continental Gold Convertible Debentures by Robert W. Allen.

If Continental Gold does not receive future financing, it may not be possible for Continental Gold to advance the exploration and development of the Colombia Projects. Furthermore, the Colombia Projects presently have state property fee obligations of approximately $355,000 per annum which are due to be paid annually. See “Part IV –Information Concerning Continental Gold – Colombia Mining Legislation – Taxes and Royalties”. If Continental Gold is not able to fund these minimum expenditures, its interest in the Colombia Projects may be diluted. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer”.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Continental Gold does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Transactions with Related Parties

Transactions with related parties are discussed under “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold -Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions”.

Proposed Transactions

Continental Gold has not entered into and has no plans to enter into any asset or business acquisitions or dispositions other than the Amalgamation.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements include Continental Gold’s estimate of recoverable value of its mineral properties and related deferred expenses as well as the value of stock-based compensation. Both of these estimates involve considerable judgment and are, or could be, affected by significant factors that are out of Continental Gold’s control.

The factors affecting stock-based compensation include estimates of when stock options and compensation warrants might be exercised and stock price volatility. The timing for exercise of options is out of Continental Gold’s control and will depend on a variety of factors, including the market value of Continental Gold’s shares and financial objectives of the stock-based instrument holders. Continental Gold used historical data to determine volatility in accordance with the Black-Scholes model. However, the future volatility is uncertain and the model has its limitations.

Continental Gold’s recoverability of its recorded value of its mineral properties and associated deferred expenses is based on current market conditions for minerals, underlying mineral resources associated with the properties and future costs that may be required for ultimate realization through mining operations or by sale. Continental Gold operates in an industry that is dependent on a number of factors including environmental, legal and political risks, the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of Continental Gold to obtain necessary financing to complete the development, and future profitable production or the proceeds of disposition thereof.

Changes in Accounting Policies and Recent Pronouncements

On December 1, 2006, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued the following new accounting standards which Continental Gold adopted effective January 1, 2008: Capital Disclosures (Handbook Section 1535), Financial Instruments – Disclosures (Handbook Section 3862), and Financial Instruments – Presentation (Handbook Section 3863).

(i) Capital Disclosures

Handbook Section 1535 specifies the disclosure of (i) an entity's objectives, policies and processes for managing capital; (ii) quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital; (iii) whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements; and (iv) if it has not complied, the consequences of such noncompliance. Continental Gold has included disclosures recommended by the new Handbook section in the Notes to the audited financial statements.

(ii) Financial Instruments – Disclosures and Presentation

Handbook Sections 3862 and 3863 replace Handbook Section 3861, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation, revising and enhancing its disclosure requirements, and carrying forward unchanged its presentation requirements. These new sections place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages those risks. Continental Gold has included disclosures recommended by the new Handbook section in the notes to the audited financial statements.

107


Continental Gold has evaluated the impact of these new standards on its financial statements and determined that no adjustments are currently required.

The following new Canadian accounting pronouncements are applicable to Continental Gold:

(i) Inventory

Inventory consists of in-process and finished goods, including ore concentrate and gold in dore, which are valued at the lower of production cost or net realizable value. Production costs include the cost of raw materials, direct labour, mine-site overhead expenses and depreciation and depletion of mining interests.

Effective January 1, 2008 the Handbook Section 3031 replaces the previous inventories standard and requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value and includes guidance on the determination of cost, including allocation of overheads and other costs to inventory. Further, it requires the reversal of previous write-downs to net realizable value when the economic circumstances have changed to support an increased inventory value. Management has determined that there has been no impact from the adoption of these new accounting standards on its financial statements.

(ii) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued the new Handbook Section 3064, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets", which will replace Section 3062, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets". The new standard establishes revised standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. The new standard also provides guidance for the treatment of preproduction and start-up costs and requires that these costs be expensed as incurred. The new standard applies to annual and interim financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, Continental Gold adopted the new standard for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. This standard did not have a material impact on Continental Gold’s financial statements.

(iii) International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")

In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five-year transitional period. In February 2008 the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada's own GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by Continental Gold for the year ended December 31, 2010. While Continental Gold has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Statements

The information provided in this Information Circular, including the financial statements, is the responsibility of management. In the preparation of these statements, estimates are sometimes necessary to make a determination of future values for certain assets or liabilities. Management believes such estimates have been based on careful judgments and have been properly reflected in the financial statements.

Management maintains a system of internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that Continental Gold’ assets are safeguarded and to facilitate the preparation of relevant and timely information.

Risks and Uncertainties

Continental Gold does not have any policies for controlling risks associated with its financial instruments.

The principal activity of Continental Gold is mineral exploration, which is inherently risky. Exploration is also capital intensive and Continental Gold currently has no source of income other than the sale of gold from small scale mine pre-production. Only the skills of its management and staff in mineral exploration and exploration financing serve to mitigate these risks and therefore are one of the main assets of Continental Gold. See "Part IV – Information Relating to Continental Gold Limited - Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer".

Outstanding Shares

Continental Gold has an authorized share capital of 500,000,000 Continental Gold Shares with a par value of $0.0001 each and 100,000,000 Preferred Shares with a par value of $0.0001 each, of which 117,332,400 Continental Gold Shares and no Preferred Shares are issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable as of the date hereof. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Capitalization”.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Share Capital

Continental Gold Shareholders are entitled to receive notice of any meetings of shareholders of Continental Gold, and to attend and to cast one vote per Continental Gold Share at all such meetings. Continental Gold Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors and, accordingly, a majority of the Continental Gold Shareholders entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all directors standing for election. Continental Gold Shareholders are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis such dividends, if any, as and when declared by Continental Gold's board of directors at its discretion from funds legally available therefor, and upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Continental Gold are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis the net assets of Continental Gold after payment of debts and other liabilities, in each case subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other series or class of shares ranking senior in priority to or on a pro rata basis with the holders of Continental Gold Shares with respect to dividends or liquidation. The Continental Gold Shares do not carry any pre-emptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights, nor do they contain any sinking or purchase fund provisions.

The rights and designations of the Preferred Shares are not specified and shall be determined by the directors of Continental Gold at the time of issuance. There are currently no Preferred Shares outstanding and Continental Gold has no plans to issue Preferred Shares.

Other Securities

Continental Gold Convertible Debentures

On November 27, 2009, Continental Gold issued the Continental Gold Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of CDN $3,000,000 issued at par, secured by a guarantee of Robert W. Allen, President, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Continental Gold, bearing interest at the per annum rate of 2% plus prime specified by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, with interest accruing from the date of issue and maturing on November 27, 2011, with the first interest payment due on March 31, 2010, and payable monthly in arrears thereafter. The Continental Gold Convertible Debentures are automatically convertible into units immediately prior to the Amalgamation at a price of CDN $0.55611 per unit pre-Amalgamation. The Continental Gold Convertible Debentures are convertible if and only if the Amalgamation has been completed substantially in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement. For greater certainty,

  (i)

if the Amalgamation is completed substantially in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement, the shares and warrants underlying the units shall convert into shares and warrants of the Resulting Issuer on the basis of the exchange ratios specified in the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement which, based on the terms of the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement, would result in a deemed conversion price of CDN $1.50 per unit of the Resulting Issuer, and

109



  (ii)

if the Amalgamation is not completed substantially in accordance with the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement, such conversion right will no longer be of any force or effect.

Each unit will ultimately consist of one Amalco Share and one Amalco Debenture Warrant following completion of the Amalgamation. Each whole Amalco Debenture Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Amalco Share for a period of two years after the Effective Date at a price equal to CDN. $1.75 per Amalco Share. In the event that the closing price of the Amalco Shares on the TSX is in excess of CDN. $3.50 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days at any time after the issuance of the Amalco Debenture Warrants, the Resulting Issuer may, at its option, accelerate the expiry date of the Amalco Debenture Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof and, in such case, the Amalco Debenture Warrants will expire at 4:00 pm (Toronto time) on the date which is the earlier of: (i) the 30th day after the date on which such notice is given by the Resulting Issuer; and (ii) the two year anniversary of the Effective Date.

Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts

On January 28, 2010 and February 11, 2010, Continental Gold completed the Continental Gold Financing consisting of the sale of 19,166,667 Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts at a price of CDN $1.50 per Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of CDN $28,750,000.

Each Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipt shall be deemed to be exchanged, without payment of any additional consideration and subject to adjustment, for one Continental Gold Financing Unit at the Effective Time. Each Continental Gold Financing Unit will consist of one Amalco Share and one-half of one Amalco Financing Warrant. Upon the closing of the Continental Gold Financing, the gross proceeds of the Continental Gold Financing will be deposited in escrow and constitute Escrowed Funds. The Escrowed Funds will be released from escrow to Continental Gold after deducting the Agent’s commission and an advisory fee equal to a total of 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds immediately prior to the Effective Time. In the event that the Amalgamation does not occur on or before April 30, 2010, the Escrowed Funds, plus any accrued interest earned thereon, shall be returned pro rata to each holder of the Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts in exchange for the Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts held by such holder.

The Agent received Continental Gold Financing Rights entitling the Agent at the Effective Time to receive Amalco Financing Compensation Options and subscribe for that number of Continental Gold Financing Units of Continental Gold as is equal to 7% of the total number of Continental Gold Financing Subscription Receipts sold pursuant to the Continental Gold Financing. Each Amalco Financing Compensation Option will be exercisable to acquire one Continental Gold Financing Unit at CDN $1.50 for a period of one year from the Effective Time.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations sets forth executive compensation disclosure requirements. Applicable securities laws require Continental Gold to provide disclosure in the Information Circular in compliance with Form 51-102F6.

Named Executive Officers

For the purposes of this Information Circular, a Named Executive Officer (“NEO”) of Continental Gold means each of the following individuals:

  (a)

a chief executive officer (“CEO”) of Continental Gold;

     
  (b)

a chief financial officer (“CFO”) of Continental Gold;

     
  (c)

each of Continental Gold’s three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000, as determined in accordance with subsection 1.3(6) of Form 51-102F6, for that financial year; and

     
  (d)

each individual who would be a NEO under paragraph (c) above but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of Continental Gold, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of that financial year.

Continental Gold currently has the following five NEO’s: Robert W. Allen (Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer), Donald H. Christie (Chief Financial Officer), Peter B. Bolt (Vice-President of Operations), Stuart A. Moller (Vice-President of Exploration) and Gustavo J. Koch (Corporate Secretary).

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Compensation Committee of Continental Gold’s board is responsible for ensuring that Continental Gold has in place an appropriate plan for executive compensation and for making recommendations to the board with respect to the compensation of Continental Gold’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee ensures that total compensation paid to all NEO’s is fair and reasonable and is consistent with Continental Gold’s compensation philosophy.

Compensation plays an important role in achieving short and long-term business objectives that ultimately drive business success. Continental Gold’s compensation philosophy is to foster entrepreneurship at all levels of the organization through, among other things, the granting of stock options, a significant component of executive compensation. This approach is based on the assumption that the performance of the Continental Gold Share price over the long term is an important indicator of long term performance.

122


Continental Gold’s compensation philosophy is based on the following fundamental principles:

1. Compensation programs align with shareholder interests – Continental Gold aligns the goals of executives with maximizing long term shareholder value;

2. Performance sensitive – compensation for executive officers should be linked to operating and market performance of Continental Gold and fluctuate with the performance; and

3. Offer market competitive compensation to attract and retain talent – the compensation program should provide market competitive pay in terms of value and structure in order to retain existing employees who are performing according to their objectives and to attract new individuals of the highest calibre.

The objectives of the compensation program in compensating all NEO’s were developed based on the above-mentioned compensation philosophy and are as follows:

  • to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers;

  • to align the interests of executive officers with shareholders’ interests and with the execution of Continental Gold business strategy;

  • to evaluate executive performance on the basis of key measurements of exploration management and business plan implementation that correlate to long-term shareholder value; and

  • to tie compensation directly to those measurements and rewards based on achieving and exceeding predetermined objectives.

Competitive Compensation

Aggregate compensation for each NEO is designed to be competitive. The Compensation Committee reviews compensation practices of similarly situated companies in determining appropriate compensation. Although the Compensation Committee reviews each element of compensation for market competitiveness, and it may weigh a particular element more heavily based on the NEO’s role within Continental Gold, it is primarily focused on remaining competitive in the market with respect to total compensation.

The Compensation Committee reviews data related to compensation levels and programs of various companies that are similar in size to Continental Gold and operate within the mining exploration and development industry, prior to making its decisions. Examples of these companies are Ventana Gold Corp., Greystar Resources Ltd. and Colombian Mines Corporation. These companies are used as Continental Gold’s primary peer group because they have similar business characteristics or because they compete with Continental Gold for employees and investors. The Compensation Committee also relies on the experience of its members as officers and/or directors at other companies in similar lines of business as Continental Gold in assessing compensation levels. These other companies are identified under the heading “Statement of Corporate Governance Practices – Directorships”.

The purpose of this process is to:

  • understand the competitiveness of current pay levels for each executive position relative to companies with similar revenues and business characteristics;

  • identify and understand any gaps that may exist between actual compensation levels and market compensation levels; and

  • establish a basis for developing salary adjustments and short-term and long-term incentive awards for the Compensation Committee’s approval.

123


Aligning the Interests of the NEO’s with the Interests of Continental Gold’s Shareholders

Continental Gold believes that transparent, objective and easily verified corporate goals, combined with individual performance goals, play an important role in creating and maintaining an effective compensation strategy for the NEO’s. Continental Gold’s objective is to establish benchmarks and targets for its NEO’s which, if achieved, will enhance shareholder value. These benchmarks relate to completion of exploration programs on the basis of pre-established budgets and exploration success, as well as completion of equity financings on terms beneficial to Continental Gold.

A combination of fixed and variable compensation is used to motivate executives to achieve overall corporate goals. For the 2009 financial year, the three basic components of executive officer compensation program were:

  • fixed salary;

  • annual incentives (cash bonus); and

  • option based compensation.

Fixed salary comprises a portion of the total cash-based compensation; however, annual incentives and option based compensation represent compensation that is “at risk” and thus may or may not be paid to the respective executive officer depending on: (i) whether the executive officer is able to meet or exceed his or her applicable performance targets; and (ii) success in financing Continental Gold and market performance of Continental Gold Shares if and when the shares have a public market. To date, no specific formulae have been developed to assign a specific weighting to each of these components. Instead, the board considers each performance target and Continental Gold’s performance and assigns compensation based on this assessment and the recommendations of the Compensation Committee.

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee and the board approve the salary ranges for the NEO’s. The base salary review for each NEO is based on an assessment of factors such as current competitive market conditions, compensation levels within the peer group and particular skills, such as leadership ability and management effectiveness, experience, responsibility and proven or expected performance of the particular individual. Comparative data for Continental Gold’s peer group is also accumulated from a number of external sources including independent consultants. Continental Gold’s policy for determining salary for executive officers is consistent with the administration of salaries for all other employees.

Annual Incentives

Continental Gold, in its discretion, may award annual incentives by way of cash bonuses in order to motivate executives to achieve short-term corporate goals. The Compensation Committee and the board approve annual incentives. Continental Gold did not award such incentives in the year ended December 31, 2008 as Continental Gold had not yet developed definitive plans to go public, and the award of options was still under review by the Corporation’s Compensation Committee. During the year ended December 31, 2008, Continental Gold did not award any cash bonuses in order to preserve working capital, but the Continental Gold Stock Options as described below were granted in recognition of service provided during the period.

The success of NEO’s in achieving their individual objectives and their contribution to Continental Gold in reaching its overall goals are factors in the determination of their annual bonus. The Compensation Committee assesses each NEO's performance on the basis of his or her respective contribution to the achievement of the predetermined corporate objectives, as well as to needs of Continental Gold that arise on a day to day basis. This assessment is used by the Compensation Committee in developing its recommendations to the Board with respect to the determination of annual bonuses for the NEO’s. Where the Compensation Committee cannot unanimously agree, the matter is referred to the full board for decision. The board relies heavily on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee in granting annual incentives.

124


Compensation and Measurements of Performance

The Board approves targeted amounts of annual incentives for each NEO at the beginning of each financial year. The targeted amounts are determined by the Compensation Committee based on a number of factors, including comparable compensation of similar companies.

Achieving predetermined individual and/or corporate targets and objectives, as well as general performance in day to day corporate activities, will trigger the award of a bonus payment to the NEO. The NEO will receive a partial or full incentive payment depending on the number of the predetermined targets met and the Compensation Committee’s and the board’s assessment of overall performance. The determination as to whether a target has been met is ultimately made by the board and the board reserves the right to make positive or negative adjustments to any bonus payment if they consider them to be appropriate.

Long Term Compensation

Continental Gold currently has no long-term incentive plans, other than stock options granted from time to time by the Board under the provisions of Continental Gold’s Stock Option Plan.

Compensation Summary

The table below sets forth information concerning the compensation paid, awarded or earned by each of the NEO’s for services rendered in all capacities to Continental Gold during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009.

Notes:

(1)

The fair value of share and option-based awards is calculated as at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Option-pricing models require the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Continental Gold employed the Black-Scholes Option Model to calculate the grant date fair value as it is a widely used and relatively objective methodology. The principal assumptions employed were a share price of $0.30, an expected option term of 10 years, volatility of 100%, a dividend yield of 0% and a risk-free rate of return of 3.08%. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and therefore, in management’s opinion, existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of Continental Gold’s share and option-based awards.

(2)

“LTIP” or “long term incentive plan” means any plan that provides compensation intended to motivate performance to occur over a period greater than one fiscal year, but does not include share or option-based awards.

(3)

Effective March 31, 2008, Michael R. Smith resigned as Chief Executive Officer of Continental Gold.

Incentive Plan Awards

Stock Option Plan

On April 28, 2008 the directors of Continental Gold adopted a stock option plan. The purpose of the plan is to encourage ownership of the Continental Gold Shares by the persons who are primarily responsible for the management and profitable growth of Continental Gold’s business, as well as provide additional incentive for superior performance by such persons and attract and retain valued personnel. The plan provides that eligible persons thereunder include any director, senior officer, consultant or employee of Continental Gold. A consultant is defined as an individual who is engaged by Continental Gold, under a written contract, to provide services on an ongoing basis and spends a significant amount of time on Continental Gold’s business and affairs. The definition of consultant also includes an individual whose services are engaged through a personal holding corporation.

The plan is administered by the board of directors of Continental Gold, who have the authority to determine, among other things, subject to the terms of the plan and the requirements of regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, the terms, limitations, restrictions and conditions respecting the grant of options and issuance of Continental Gold Shares thereunder.

The maximum number of Continental Gold Shares reserved for issuance under the plan from time to time must not exceed the amount equal to 10% of Continental Gold’s issued and outstanding Continental Gold Shares at the time of grant. The maximum number of Continental Gold Shares that may be reserved for issuance to any one insider under the plan and any other share compensation arrangement may not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Continental Gold Shares at the time of grant (on a non-diluted basis). The plan also provides that the maximum number of Continental Gold Shares that may be reserved for issuance to insiders under the plan and any other share compensation arrangement shall not exceed 10% of the Continental Gold Shares outstanding at the time of grant (on a non-diluted basis) and the maximum number of Continental Gold Shares that may be issued to insiders under the plan or any other share compensation arrangement within a one-year period shall not exceed 10% of the Continental Gold Shares outstanding at the time of grant.

The board of directors of Continental Gold has the authority under the plan to establish the option price at the time each option is granted, which price shall not be less than the market price of the Continental Gold Shares at the time of grant. Options granted under the stock option plan are exercisable over a period not exceeding ten (10) years from the date of grant, subject to earlier termination if the optionee ceases to be an eligible person by reason of termination of employment, retirement, disability or death. The options granted under the plan are not transferable or assignable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Options will be subject to such vesting schedule as determined by the board of directors and any applicable regulatory requirements.

Notes:

(1)

The Stock Option Plan is a “rolling” stock option plan whereby the maximum number of Continental Gold Shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Stock Option Plan will not exceed 10% of the issued Continental Gold Shares at the time of grant. As at the date hereof 11,733,240 Continental Gold Shares may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Stock Option Plan.

(2)

As there is no current organized market for the Continental Gold Shares, the value of unexercised options is assumed to be $nil. As these options were not necessarily exercised, or exercised on such vesting date, by the NEO’s, these amounts do not necessarily reflect amounts realized by the NEO’s during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Note:

The fair value of share-based awards is calculated as at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Option-pricing models require the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Continental Gold employed the Black-Scholes Option Model to calculate the grant date fair value as it is a widely used and relatively objective methodology. The principal assumptions employed were a share price of $0.30, an expected option term of 10 years, volatility of 100%, a dividend yield of 0% and a risk-free rate of return of 3.08%. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and therefore, in management’s opinion, existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of Continental Gold’s share and option-based awards.

Directors of Continental Gold, other than Robert W. Allen and Gustavo J. Koch who are NEO’s, are remunerated for their services as follows:

  Annual Fee Per Director Aggregate Annual Fee
Annual fee paid to each director $33,000 $121,000
Chairman of the board of directors $1.00 $1.00
Vice-Chairman of the board of directors $50,000 $50,000

  Annual Fee Per Director Aggregate Annual Fee

Chairmen of other committees                            $33,000                            $33,000

Directors may also be compensated for services provided to Continental Gold as consultants or experts on the same basis and at the same rate as would be payable if such services were provided by a third party, arm's length service provider. To date, no such services have been provided to Continental Gold by any of its directors other than:

As there is no current organized market for the Continental Gold Shares, the value of unexercised options is assumed to be $nil. As these options were not necessarily exercised, or exercised on such vesting date, by such directors, these amounts do not necessarily reflect amounts realized by such directors during the year ended December 31, 2008.

Indebtedness of Directors and Executive Officers

None of the directors, executive officers or employees of Continental Gold or any of its subsidiaries and former directors, executive officers and employees of Continental Gold or any of its subsidiaries had any indebtedness outstanding to Continental Gold or any of its subsidiaries as at the date hereof except as disclosed below. In addition, no indebtedness of these individuals to another entity has been the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or similar arrangement or understanding of Continental Gold or any of its subsidiaries.

Bulletco is controlled by Robert W. Allen, the controlling shareholder, Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and promoter of Continental Gold. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Directors and Officers”. On January 9, 2009 Continental Gold advanced a loan to Bulletco in the amount of $212,790 for a term of ninety days at a per annum rate of interest of 5%. This loan was made on an isolated basis and regular borrowings by non-arm’s length persons are not anticipated in the future. The loan was repaid in accordance with its terms and the applicable interest was paid.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

Board and senior management consider good corporate governance to be central to the effective and efficient operation of Continental Gold. The Board has confirmed the strategic objective of Continental Gold is seeking out and exploring mineral bearing deposits with the intention of developing and mining the deposit or proving the feasibility of mining the deposit for others.

National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) requires Continental Gold to disclose its corporate governance practices by providing in the Information Circular the disclosure required by Form 58-101F1. National Instrument 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines (“NI 58-201”) establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. Continental Gold has reviewed its own corporate governance practices in light of these guidelines. In certain cases, Continental Gold’s practices comply with the guidelines; however, the Board considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for Continental Gold at its current stage of development and therefore these guidelines have not been adopted. Continental Gold (the Resulting Issuer) will continue to review and implement corporate governance guidelines as the business of Continental Gold progresses and becomes more active in operations.

132


Form 58-101 F1 – Corporate Governance Disclosure (TSX Issuers)

Board of Directors

The Board is currently composed of eight (8) directors. Form 58-101F1 suggests that the board of directors of every listed company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as "independent" directors under National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees (“NI 52-110)”, which provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect “material relationship” with the company. “Material relationship” is defined as a relationship which could, in the view of the company’s board of directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment and, specifically in addition to other circumstances, excludes “independence” where the individual has received more than $75,000 in direct compensation during a twelve month period in the prior three years.

Of the existing directors of Continental Gold, three are not “independent” under NI 52-110 for the following reasons:

  (i)

Robert W. Allen (Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer) is an "insider" or management director and accordingly is not considered “independent" as a result of this relationship;

     
  (i)

Gustavo J. Koch (Corporate Secretary) is an "insider" or management director and accordingly is not considered “independent" as a result of this relationship; and

     
  (ii)

Gary P. Barket provides legal services to Continental Gold and is not considered “independent" as a result of the payment for these services.

The remaining five (5) directors, Jaime I. Gutiérrez, Roger Easterday, Rosie C. Moore, James S. Felton and Gordon F. Wylie, are considered by the Board to be "independent", within the meaning of NI 52-110. The Chairman, Robert W. Allen is not independent, however the Vice-Chairman, Gordon F. Wylie, is independent and acts as the lead director for the independent directors. In assessing Form 58-101F1 and making the foregoing determinations, the circumstances of each director have been examined in relation to a number of factors as noted above.

A majority of the directors is independent, as five (5) of the eight directors are independent as noted above. To facilitate the functioning of the board of directors independently of management, the following structures and processes are in place:

  • when appropriate, members of management, are not present for the discussion and determination of certain matters at meetings of the board of directors. During the most recently completed financial year, one meeting of the independent members of the directors was held, and it is Continental Gold’s policy to hold at least one meeting of the independent board of directors during each financial year;
  • under the bye-laws of Continental Gold, any two directors may call a meeting of the board of directors;
  • the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee consist of a majority of independent directors who meet independent of management directors; and
  • in addition to the above standing Committees of the board of directors, independent committees may be appointed from time to time, when appropriate.

Each of the directors of Continental Gold attended each meeting of the board of directors held since January 1, 2008, with the exception of directors who are not independent in the case of meetings of the independent directors. The following table sets forth the directors of Continental Gold who currently hold directorships and/or are officers with other reporting issuers:

   Name of Director Reporting Issuer
Gordon F. Wylie Lydian International Limited (TSXV)
Rosie C. Moore Kiska Metals Corporation (TSXV)

Mandate of the board of directors

The duties and responsibilities of the board of directors are:

  • to supervise the management of the business and affairs of Continental Gold; and
  • to act with a view towards the best interests of Continental Gold.

In discharging its mandate, the board of directors is responsible for the oversight and review of the development of, among other things, the following matters:

  • the strategic planning process of Continental Gold;
  • identifying the principal risks of Continental Gold’s business and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks;
  • succession planning, including appointing, training and monitoring senior management;
  • a communications policy for Continental Gold to facilitate communications with investors and other interested parties; and
  • the integrity of Continental Gold’s internal control and management information systems.

The board of directors also has the mandate to assess the effectiveness of the board of directors as a whole, its committees and the contribution of individual directors.

Position Descriptions

The board of directors of Continental Gold has developed written position descriptions for the Chairman, the Chairman of each Board Committee, the Chief Executive Officer, the President and the Chief Financial Officer.

Orientation and Continuing Education

When new directors are appointed, they receive an orientation on the role of the board, its Committees and its directors, and the nature and operation of Continental Gold’s business, which consists of the following:

  • an orientation session with senior officers to overview Continental Gold’s business and affairs;
  • an orientation session with the Chairman and the Chairperson of each standing Committee; and
  • an orientation session with legal counsel and the representatives of Continental Gold’s auditors.

Continuing education is provided to directors through provision of literature regarding current developments. Additionally, historically board members have been nominated who are familiar with Continental Gold and the nature of its business. The Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee takes primary responsibility for the orientation and continuing education of directors and officers.

Ethical Business Conduct

The board of directors of Continental Gold has adopted a written code for the directors, officers and employees of Continental Gold. Copies of the code of conduct are available upon written request from the Chief Financial Officer of Continental Gold. The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring compliance with Continental Gold’s code of conduct. There have been no departures from Continental Gold’s code of conduct during the most recently completely financial year.

In addition to those matters which, by law, must be approved by the board of directors, the approval of the board of directors is required for:

  • Continental Gold’s annual business plan and budget;
  • major acquisitions or dispositions by Continental Gold; and
  • transactions which are outside of Continental Gold’s existing business.

134


To ensure the directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in which a director or officer has a material interest, all such matters are considered and approved by the independent directors.

Continental Gold believes that it has adopted corporate governance procedures and policies which encourage ethical behaviour by Continental Gold’s directors, officers and employees.

Nomination of Directors

The Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee has oversight of all board corporate governance matters, and undertakes the process for recruitment and review of nominees for the board of directors. The recruitment of new directors has generally resulted from recommendations made by directors and shareholders in a process which is managed by the Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee. The assessment of the contributions of individual directors has principally been the responsibility of the board. Prior to standing for election, new nominees to the board are reviewed by the entire board based on recommendations formulated by the Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee.

Compensation

See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Executive Compensation”.

Other Board Committees

There are no board committees other than the Audit Committee, the Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee and the Compensation Committee.

Assessments

Currently the board takes responsibility for monitoring and assessing its effectiveness and the performance of individual directors, its committees, including reviewing the board’s decision-making processes and the quality of information provided by management, and among other things:

  • overseeing strategic planning;
  • monitoring the performance of Continental Gold’s assets;
  • evaluating the principal risks and opportunities associated with Continental Gold’s business and overseeing the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks;
  • approving specific acquisitions and divestitures;
  • evaluating senior management; and
  • overseeing Continental Gold’s internal control and management information systems.

  • reviewing Continental Gold’s annual and interim financial statements, Management’s Discussion and Analysis and press releases regarding earnings before they are reviewed and approved by the board of directors and publicly disseminated by Continental Gold; and

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO CONTINENTAL GOLD AND THE RESULTING ISSUER

The Continental Gold Shares should be considered highly speculative due to the nature of Continental Gold’s business and the present stage of its development and the location of its properties in Colombia. In evaluating Continental Gold and its business, investors should carefully consider, in addition to the other information contained in the Information Circular, the following risk factors. These risk factors are not a definitive list of all risk factors associated with an investment in Continental Gold or in connection with Continental Gold’s operations. These risk factors will also apply to the Resulting Issuer following the Amalgamation.

Nature of Mineral Exploration

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business and involves a high degree of risk which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The properties in which Continental Gold holds an interest are without a known mineral resource. Each of the proposed programs on the properties is an exploratory search for resources. There is no assurance that commercial quantities of resources will be discovered. There is also no assurance that even if commercial quantities of resources are discovered, a mineral property will be brought into commercial production. The discovery of mineral deposits is dependent upon a number of factors not the least of which is the technical skill of the exploration personnel involved. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit once discovered is also dependent upon a number of factors, some of which are the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, metal prices and government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. Most of the above factors are beyond the control of Continental Gold.

137


Foreign Country Risk

Continental Gold’s principal mineral properties are located in Colombia. Operations in Colombia are subject to risk due to the potential for social, political, economic, legal and fiscal instability. The government in Colombia faces ongoing problems of inflation, unemployment and inequitable income distribution. Colombia is also home to South America’s largest and longest running insurgency and large swaths of the countryside are under guerrilla influence. In addition, Colombia experiences narcotics-related violence, a prevalence of kidnapping and extortionist activities and civil unrest in certain areas of the country. Such instability may require Continental Gold to suspend operations on its properties. Although Continental Gold is not presently aware of any circumstances or facts which may cause the following to occur, other risks may involve matters arising out of the evolving laws and policies in Colombia, any future imposition of special taxes or similar charges, as well as foreign exchange fluctuations and currency convertibility and controls, the unenforceability of contractual rights or the taking or nationalization of property without fair compensation, restrictions on the use of expatriates in Continental Gold’s operations, or other matters. Continental Gold also bears the risk that changes can occur in the government of Colombia and a new government may void or change the laws and regulations that Continental Gold is relying upon. See also “Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer – NGO Intervention”.

Repatriation of Earnings

Currently there are no restrictions on the repatriation from Colombia of earnings to foreign entities and Colombia has never imposed such restrictions. However, there can be no assurance that restrictions on repatriation of earnings from Colombia will not be imposed in the future. Exchange control regulations require that any proceeds in foreign currency originated on exports of goods from Colombia (including minerals) be repatriated to Colombia. However, purchase of foreign currency is allowed through any Colombian authorized financial entities for purposes of payments to foreign suppliers, repayment of foreign debt, payment of dividends to foreign stockholders and other foreign expenses.

Limited Operating History

Continental Gold has no history of generating revenue or profits. There can be no assurance that it will generate profits in the future.

Requirement for Further Financing

Continental Gold has sufficient financial resources to undertake all of its currently planned exploration programs but will require additional funds to fund further exploration and other acquisitions. The further exploration of the various mineral properties in which Continental Gold holds interests and the acquisition of additional properties depends upon Continental Gold’s ability to obtain financing through joint ventures of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. There can be no assurance that Continental Gold will able to raise the balance of the financing required or that such financing can be obtained without substantial dilution to shareholders. Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis could cause Continental Gold to reduce or terminate its operations or lose its interest in its properties.

Fluctuation in Mineral Prices

The mining industry in general is intensely competitive and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of mineral resource are discovered, a profitable market will exist for the sale of same or that mineral prices will be such that Continental Gold’s properties can be mined at a profit. Factors beyond the control of Continental Gold may affect the ability of Continental Gold to attract investors and receive further funds for exploration. Metal prices have experienced volatile and significant price movements over short periods of time, and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of Continental Gold, including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations (specifically, the Colombian peso relative to other currencies), interest rates and global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to improved mining and production methods. In particular, the supply of and demand for gold are affected by, among other factors, political events, economic conditions and production costs in major gold producing regions and governmental or central bank policies with respect to gold holdings.

138


No Assurance of Titles or Boundaries

Continental Gold is not the registered holder of all of the licences or concessions that comprise the Colombia Projects. Some of the licences and concessions that comprise the Colombia Projects are registered in the names of certain entities controlled by Bulletco. Continental Gold’s interest in the Colombia Projects is derived from the Concession Sale Agreement. Under the Concession Sale Agreement, Bulletco has agreed to transfer the licences and concessions that comprise such properties to Continental Gold. There can be no assurance, however, that such transfers will be effected. In addition, in the event of a dispute between the parties to the Concession Sale Agreement, Continental Gold’s only recourse against Bulletco will be to seek enforcement of the terms of the Concession Sale Agreement. If Continental Gold is required to commence legal proceedings to enforce the terms of the Concession Sale Agreement, there is no assurance that Continental Gold will succeed in such proceedings, and, therefore, may never succeed in obtaining title to such properties.

Continental Gold has obtained a title report from Colombian legal counsel with respect to title to the Colombia Projects held by Continental Gold and Bulletco but this should not be construed as a guarantee of title. Other parties may dispute title to any of Continental Gold’s mineral properties and any of Continental Gold’s properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected encumbrances or defects or governmental actions. Continental Gold does not have surface rights at the Colombia Projects and there is no assurance that these surface rights will be granted or they will be on reasonable terms if granted.

The foregoing analysis also applies to any exercise by Continental Gold of the Bullet Option. Titles to these properties are registered in the names of certain entities controlled by Bulletco.

Uninsurable Risks

In the course of exploration of mineral properties, certain detrimental events and, in particular, unexpected or unusual geological conditions including rock burst, cave-ins, fires, flooding, and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and Continental Gold may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or for other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of Continental Gold.

Environmental and Other Regulatory Requirements

All phases of Continental Gold’s operations are subject to environmental regulation. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, will not adversely affect Continental Gold’s activities. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties in which Continental Gold holds interests which are unknown to Continental Gold at the present which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties.

In addition, the owner of the Colombia Projects has a limited right to conduct small scale mining operations on such properties which may result in environmental hazards on the properties. Government approvals and permits are current, and may in the future be, required in connection with Continental Gold’s activities. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, Continental Gold may be restricted or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration of mineral properties. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing activities to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in exploration may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of such activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations. Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of exploration companies, or more stringent implementation of existing laws, could have a material adverse impact on Continental Gold and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new exploration properties.

139


Competition

Continental Gold will compete with other exploration companies which have greater financial resources and technical facilities for the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.

Continental Gold’s ability to locate and increase reserves in the future will depend not only on its ability to explore and develop its present properties, but also on its ability to select, acquire and develop suitable properties or prospects.

Further, the gross disparity in size between large and small mining producers in Colombia restricts small producers in that they have limited influence to secure access to Colombia’s transportation infrastructure, including rail and port facilities. This access is necessary for producers to access international export markets for its production and to competitively sell Colombian minerals in international markets. Continental Gold may have difficulties successfully accessing transportation infrastructure necessary to export the minerals it may produce in the future.

NGO Intervention

A number of Non-Governmental Organizations (“NGO’s) are becoming increasingly active in Colombia as the security and safety in Colombia increases. These organizations may create or inflame public unrest and anti-mining sentiment among the inhabitants in areas of mineral development. Such organizations have been involved, with financial assistance from groups mostly in Europe, in mobilizing sufficient local anti-mining sentiment to prevent the issuance of required permits for the development of other mineral projects.

Reliance on Majority Shareholder for Financial Support

Bulletco is the controlling shareholder of Continental Gold. See "Part I – General Information in Respect of the Meetings – Voting Shares and Principal Holders of Securities". Robert W. Allen controls Bulletco and Grupo and Mr. Allen is a director, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Continental Gold and has interests in certain material contracts with Continental Gold. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold -Directors and Officers” and “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions”. Continental Gold has limited working capital and it relies on Robert W. Allen for working capital support. Without this support at the present time, Continental Gold would be unable to sustain operations. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Liquidity”. See also “Conflicts of Interest” and “Control of Continental Gold” under “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer”.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain directors and officers of Continental Gold are also directors, officers or shareholders of other companies that are similarly engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and exploiting natural resource properties. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. The directors of Continental Gold are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Continental Gold and to disclose any interest which they may have in any project or opportunity of Continental Gold. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the board of directors, any director in a conflict is required under the Bermuda Act to disclose his interest and to abstain from voting on such matter.

Bulletco is the controlling shareholder of Continental Gold. Robert W. Allen controls Bulletco and Grupo and Mr. Allen is a director of Continental Gold and has interests in certain material contracts with Continental Gold. By virtue of its status as the controlling shareholder of Continental Gold, there exists the possibility for Bulletco to be in a position of conflict with Continental Gold. In general, the interests of Bulletco and Continental Gold will be aligned to maximize the value of the Colombia Projects and, thereby, maximize the value of Continental Gold. Should conflicts arise, upon completion of the Amalgamation the conduct of Bulletco will be subject to Canadian securities and applicable legislation concerning related party transactions and shareholder rights and remedies. In addition, the majority of directors of Continental Gold who are independent of Bulletco will be responsible to act in the best interests of Continental Gold as noted above. Moreover, Bulletco is limited in its ability to sell the Continental Gold Shares it owns pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. See “Part IV – Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer - Escrowed Securities”.

140


Dependence on Key Management Employees

Continental Gold’s development to date has depended, and in the future will continue to depend, on the efforts of key management employees, namely Peter B. Bolt (Vice-President of Operations), Donald H. Christie (Chief Financial Officer), Stuart A. Moller (Vice-President of Exploration) and Gustavo J. Koch (Corporate Secretary). Loss of any of these people could have a material adverse effect on Continental Gold. Continental Gold does not have key man insurance in place with respect to any of these individuals.

Residency of Directors, Officers and Others

Several of the directors and officers of Continental Gold reside outside of Canada. Substantially all of the assets of these persons, and Continental Gold, are located outside of Canada. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect services of process within Canada upon the directors or officers named above. It may also not be possible to enforce against certain of Continental Gold’s directors and officers, and certain experts named herein, as judgments obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon civil liability provisions of application securities laws in Canada.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations

Continental Gold’s current and proposed exploration operations in Colombia render it subject to foreign currency fluctuations, which may materially affect its financial position and results. Continental Gold sends funds to Colombia in U.S. dollars and converts these funds into Colombian pesos. The important exchange rates for Continental Gold are currently the rate between the U.S. dollar and the Colombian peso. While Continental Gold is funding work in Colombia, Continental Gold’s results could be impaired by adverse changes in the U.S. dollar to Colombian peso exchange rate.

Unreliable Historical Data

Continental Gold has compiled technical data in respect of the Colombia Projects, much of which was not prepared by Continental Gold. While the data represents a useful resource for Continental Gold, much of it must be verified by Continental Gold before being relied upon in formulating exploration programs.

Infrastructure

Mining, processing, development and exploration activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important determinants, which affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect Continental Gold's operations, financial condition and results of operations.

Management of Continental Gold believe that the infrastructure weaknesses in Colombia are comparable to those in any remote mining location located in other parts of the world.

Government Regulation

The mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities of Continental Gold are subject to various laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, land claims of local people and other matters. Although Continental Gold's mining and processing operations and exploration and development activities are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail exploration, production or development. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of exploration, mining and milling or more stringent implementation thereof could have an adverse impact on Continental Gold.

141


Public Market for Continental Gold Shares

The Continental Gold Shares do not currently trade on any exchange or recognized market. There can be no assurance that the Continental Gold Shares will ever become listed or remain listed thereafter on any exchange or recognized market. It is a condition of the Amalgamation that the Amalco Shares be listed for trading on the TSX or the TSXV and if approval for such listing is not granted, the Amalgamation will not be effected.

Market Price of Continental Gold Shares

Securities of micro-cap and small-cap companies have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. The price of the Continental Gold Shares is also likely to be significantly affected by short-term changes in precious and base metal mineral prices or in its financial condition or results of operations as reflected in its quarterly earnings reports. Other factors unrelated to Continental Gold's performance that may have an effect on the price of the Continental Gold Shares include the following: the extent of analytical coverage available to investors concerning Continental Gold's business may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow Continental Gold's securities; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in Continental Gold's securities may affect an investor's ability to trade significant numbers of Continental Gold Shares; the size of Continental Gold’s public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in Continental Gold's securities; and a substantial decline in the price of the Continental Gold Shares that persists for a significant period of time could cause Continental Gold's securities, if listed on an exchange, to be delisted from such exchange, further reducing market liquidity.

As a result of any of these factors, the price of the Continental Gold Shares at any given point in time may not accurately reflect Continental Gold's long-term value.

Dividend Policy

No dividends on the Continental Gold Shares have been paid by Continental Gold to date. Payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of Continental Gold's board of directors after taking into account many factors, including Continental Gold's operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs.

Future Sales of Continental Gold Shares by Existing Shareholders

Sales of a large number of Continental Gold Shares in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of the Continental Gold Shares.

Control of Continental Gold

After the completion of the Amalgamation, Bulletco and related entities will hold at least 47.3% of the outstanding Amalco Shares. Accordingly, Bulletco will retain control of Amalco. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Principal Holders of Securities” and “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer – Conflicts of Interest”.

Dilution from Financing Covenant

Pursuant to certain transactions described under “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Prior Sales”, the arm’s length investors and Bulletco were provided with a covenant that if Continental Gold was not listed on a recognized stock exchange by June 20, 2009 (subsequently amended to June 20, 2010), then they would be issued a sufficient number of Continental Gold Shares for nominal consideration such that they would own 51% of the issued and outstanding Continental Gold Shares on a fully diluted basis. Bulletco is controlled by Robert W. Allen, the Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, director and the promoter of Continental Gold. See “Part IV –Information Concerning Continental Gold - Directors and Officers” and “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Promoter”. It is not possible to determine if this dilutive event will occur or the impact on the control of Continental Gold, but if such event did occur, it would be materially dilutive to the shareholders of Continental Gold who do not receive these Continental Gold Shares. If the Amalgamation and subsequent listing of Amalco Shares occurs before June 20, 2010, this covenant will have been satisfied and no further Continental Gold Shares will be required to be issued.

142


Use of Available Funds

Continental Gold intends to allocate the available funds as described under “Part V – Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Available Funds and Principal Purposes” in this Information Circular. However, management will have the discretion in the actual application of the available funds, and may elect to allocate such funds differently from that described under “Available Funds and Principal Purposes” if they believe it would be in Continental Gold’s best interest to do so as circumstances change. The failure by management to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the business of Continental Gold.

Bermuda Legal Matters

Continental Gold was incorporated under the Bermuda Act (see “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Corporate Structure - Name and Incorporation”), and is thereby subject to the laws of Bermuda. The following is a summary of certain laws of Bermuda which are relevant to the operations of Continental Gold.

Bermuda Monetary Authority Consent Required for Free Transferability of Continental Gold Shares

The Bermuda Monetary Authority (the “BMA”) must approve all issues and transfers of shares of a Bermuda exempted company under the Exchange Control Act 1972 (Bermuda) and regulations thereunder. The BMA has given a general permission which will permit the issue of the Continental Gold Shares and the subsequent transfer of such shares so long as voting securities of Continental Gold are listed for trading on an appointed stock exchange, and the TSX and TSXV qualify for this purpose. See “"Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer - Public Market for Continental Gold Shares”.

Enforcement of Judgments in Bermuda May be Difficult

As Continental Gold is a Bermuda exempted company, the rights of shareholders will be governed by Bermuda law and the Memorandum and Bye-laws. The rights of shareholders under Bermuda law may differ from the rights of shareholders of companies incorporated in other jurisdictions. The majority of the Directors are not residents of Canada and all of Continental Gold’s assets are located outside of Canada and the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process on those persons in Canada and the United States or to enforce in Canada and the United States judgments obtained in the Canadian or U.S. courts against Continental Gold or those persons who may be liable under Canadian or U.S. law. The current position with regard to enforcement of judgments in Bermuda is set out below but this may be subject to change.

A final and conclusive judgment of a foreign court against Continental Gold, under which a sum of money is payable (not being a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, or a fine, penalty tax or other charge of a like nature) may be the subject of enforcement proceedings in the Bermuda Court under the common law doctrine of obligation by action on the debt evidenced by the foreign court’s judgment. On general principles, such proceedings would be expected to be successful provided that:

(a)

the court which gave the judgment was competent to hear the action in accordance with private international law principles as applied in Bermuda; and

  
(b)

the judgment is not contrary to public policy in Bermuda, has not been obtained by fraud or in proceedings contrary to natural justice and is not based on an error in Bermuda law.

143


Enforcement of such a judgment against assets in Bermuda may involve the conversion of the judgment debt into Bermuda dollars, but the Bermuda Monetary Authority has indicated that its present policy is to give the consents necessary to enable recovery in the currency of the obligation.

No stamp duty or similar or other tax or duty is payable in Bermuda on the enforcement of a foreign judgment. Court fees will be payable in connection with proceedings for enforcement.

Continental Gold May Become Subject to Taxes in Bermuda

There is currently no Bermuda income, corporation or profits tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax, capital transfer tax, estate duty or inheritance tax payable in respect of capital gains realized on a disposition of Continental Gold Shares or in respect of distributions by Continental Gold with respect to Continental Gold Shares other than the application of Bermuda taxes to persons ordinarily resident in Bermuda. The Bermuda Minister of Finance, under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966, as amended (Bermuda), has given Continental Gold assurance that if any legislation is enacted in Bermuda that would impose tax computed on profits or income, or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, then the imposition of any such tax will not be applicable to Continental Gold or any of Continental Gold’s operations, shares or other obligations until March 28, 2016. Given the limited duration of the Minister of Finance’s assurance, it cannot be certain that Continental Gold will not be subject to any Bermuda tax after March 28, 2016.

Exemption from Exchange Controls

Continental Gold is designated as “non-resident” for exchange control purposes by the BMA. Where a company is so designated, it is free to deal in currencies of any other country outside the Bermuda exchange control area which are freely convertible into currencies of any other country.

Limitations on Carrying on Business

Continental Gold has been incorporated in Bermuda as an “exempted company”. Under Bermuda law, exempted companies are companies formed for the purpose of conducting business outside Bermuda from a principal place in Bermuda. As a result, they are exempt from Bermuda laws restricting the percentage of share capital that may be held by non-Bermudians, but they may not participate in certain business transactions, including:

i.

the acquisition or holding of land in Bermuda (except that required for their business and held by way of lease or tenancy for terms of not more than 50 years) without the express authorization of the Bermuda legislature;

   
ii.

the taking of mortgages on land in Bermuda to secure an amount in excess of BD$50,000 without the consent of the Minister of Finance;

   
iii.

the acquisition of any bonds or debentures secured by any land in Bermuda, other than certain types of Bermuda government securities; or

   
iv.

the carrying on of business of any kind in Bermuda, except in furtherance of their business carried on outside Bermuda or under license granted by the Minister of Finance.

Compulsory Acquisition Rules

Pursuant to the Bermuda Act, where a scheme or contract involving the transfer of shares of a Bermuda company has been approved by the holders of 90% of the shares, the offeror can then give notice in the prescribed form to any dissenting shareholder(s) and, unless on an application made by the dissenting shareholder (within one month from the date on which the notice was given) the Bermuda Court thinks fit to order otherwise, the offeror shall be entitled and bound to acquire the holdings of the dissenting shareholder(s).

Pursuant to the Bermuda Act, a holder of 95% of the shares of a Bermuda company can, on giving notice to the minority shareholders, force them to sell their interest to such 95% holder provided that the terms offered are the same for all of the holders of the shares whereupon the acquiring shareholder is bound to acquire the outstanding shares on the terms set out in the notice. The 5% shareholders can apply to the Bermuda Court for an appraisal of their shares. Once notice has been given, the acquiring shareholder is bound to acquire the outstanding shares on the terms set out in the notice.

144


PROMOTER

Robert W. Allen may be considered to be a promoter of Continental Gold within the meaning of relevant Canadian securities legislation. As of the date hereof, Mr. Allen beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over 90,771,725 Continental Gold Shares, comprising 77.4% of all issued and outstanding Continental Gold Shares as of the date hereof. See "Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Principal Holders of Securities". Mr. Allen is a director of Continental Gold and has interests in certain material contracts with Continental Gold. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Directors and Officers” and “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions”.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND REGULATORY ACTIONS

Continental Gold is not a party to and none of its property is the subject of any legal proceedings as at the date of this Information Circular or from the date of incorporation, and Continental Gold knows of no such legal proceedings currently contemplated.

Continental Gold is not the subject of any penalties or sanctions imposed against it by a court relating to provincial and territorial securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority as at the date of this Information Circular or from the date of incorporation. Continental Gold is not the subject of any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body against it necessary for the Information Circular to contain full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to the securities to be distributed. Continental Gold has not entered into any settlement agreements before a court relating to provincial and territorial securities legislation or with a securities regulatory authority as at the date of this Information Circular or from the date of incorporation.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Certain directors and officers of Continental Gold may serve from time to time as directors, officers, promoters and members of management of other public companies and therefore it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties as a director or officer of Continental Gold and their duties as a director, officer, promoter or member of management of such other companies. In accordance with the Bermuda Act, directors must keep the board of Continental Gold advised, on an ongoing basis, of any interest that could potentially conflict with those of Continental Gold. Continental Gold has also established protocols setting out:

  • the structures and procedures which are in place to ensure that the consideration by the Board and management of Continental Gold’s business and the business of its subsidiaries is undertaken free from any actual, or the appearance of any, conflict of interest; and

  • the requirement and process for each director to declare any interest he or she has in the matter being considered by the board of Continental Gold and appropriate measures to be taken upon that declaration.

Where the board of Continental Gold believes a significant conflict exists, the director concerned does not receive the relevant board of Continental Gold documentation and is not present at the Continental Gold board of directors meeting whilst the item is considered.

Other than as set out herein, to the best of its respective knowledge, Continental Gold is not aware of the existence of any existing or potential material conflicts of interest between Continental Gold and any of the individuals proposed for appointment as directors or officers of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Amalgamation, as of the date of this Information Circular.

145


INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Other than as described herein, Continental Gold is not aware of any material interest, direct or indirect, in any matter to be acted upon at the Continental Gold Meeting, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, of any director or executive officer (or any associated or affiliate thereof) of Continental Gold.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

No Informed Person of Continental Gold, or any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing person has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction which has occurred since the incorporation of Continental Gold, or in any proposed transaction that has materially affected or would materially affect Continental Gold, except for the following, a number of which involved Grupo and/or Bulletco being entities controlled by Robert W. Allen, the Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, a director and the promoter of Continental Gold and a proposed director of the Resulting Issuer (see “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Directors and Officers” and “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Promoter”):

  (a)

Pursuat to the Agreement for Sale of Concession Contracts and Applications for Concession Contracts in Colombia dated December 20, 2007, between Continental Gold and Bulletco, Bulletco assigned to Continental Gold certain holdings of mineral rights in Colombia (see “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Material Contracts – Agreement for Sale of Concession Contracts and Applications for Concession Contracts in Colombia”);

     
  (b)

Pursuant to Continental Gold’s December 20, 2007 private placement, Bulletco provided a guarantee, on a good faith basis only, to provide an additional $5,120,000 equity investment in Continental Gold if Continental Gold was not listed on a recognized stock exchange by June 20, 2009 (subsequently amended to June 20, 2010). Pursuant to this guarantee Bulletco (through non-arm’s length entities Reindeer Capital Limited and Expert Funding Corporation) and Grupo as at December 31, 2008 have invested a total of $2,666,056 in Continental Gold pursuant to the Grupo Transactions and the Bulletco Transactions as described below. As consideration Continental Gold issued to Grupo and Bulletco an aggregate total of 7,332,400 Continental Gold Shares and 3,666,200 Continental Gold Warrants pursuant to these transactions (see “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Prior Sales”). There is no time limit associated with the guarantee. Effective November 27, 2009, the subscribers of the December 20, 2007 private placement waived the Bulletco guarantee in consideration for the guarantee of the Continental Gold Convertible Debentures by Robert W. Allen;

     
  (c)

During the period ended December 31, 2007, Bulletco provided Continental Gold with a $500,000 interest-free loan. The loan was used by Continental Gold to fund exploration costs on the mineral properties prior to the completion of the purchase of the mineral properties by Continental Gold. The loan was repaid by Continental Gold in January 2008. Continental Gold also agreed to reimburse Bulletco in the amount of $447,652 for certain expenditures Bulletco had made on the mineral properties during 2007. The reimbursement was made by Continental Gold in January 2008. The amounts owing were unsecured, non-interest bearing with no fixed terms of repayment;

     
  (d)

Pursuant to certain transactions described under “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Prior Sales”, the arm’s length investors and Bulletco were provided with a covenant that if Continental Gold was not listed on a recognized stock exchange by June 20, 2009 (subsequently amended to June 20, 2010), then the arm’s length investors and Bulletco would be issued a sufficient number of Continental Gold Shares for nominal consideration on a pro rata basis such that they would own 51% of the issued and oustanding Continental Gold Shares on a fully diluted basis. See “Part IV - Information Concerning Continental Gold – Risk Factors Relating to Continental Gold and the Resulting Issuer – Dilution from Financing Covenant”;

     
  (e)

Pursuant to the Bullet Option Agreement dated January 16, 2008, between Bulletco and Continental Gold, Bulletco granted Continental Gold an option to acquire certain mineral rights in Colombia. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Material Contracts –Bullet Option Agreement”;

146



  (f)

Pursuant to the AngloGold Assignment Agreement, Robert W. Allen assigned to Continental Gold his rights, title and interest in the Head of Terms for the Newco Joint Venture Agreement dated October 4, 2006 between Robert W. Allen and AngloGold Ashanti Limited (see “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Material Contracts – AngloGold Assignment Agreement”). Robert W. Allen is the Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, a director and the promoter of Continental Gold (see “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Directors and Officers” and “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold - Promoter”);

     
  (g)

Mr. Gary P. Barket, a director of Continental Gold, invoices Continental Gold for legal services on the same basis and at the same rate as would be payable if such services were provided by a third party, arm's length service provider. To date, Mr. Barket invoiced Continental Gold for legal services in the amount of $86,351 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, $151,109 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and $78,209 in the period ended December 31, 2007, at arm’s length rates (see “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Directors and Officers”);

     
  (h)

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, Continental Gold purchased drilling services from Perforaciones Nacionales S.A., an affiliate of Bulletco, at arm’s length rates at a cost of $250,276. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, Continental Gold purchased drilling services from Terra Colombia S.A., an affiliate of Bulletco, at arm’s length rates at a cost of $800,413. Continental Gold also made advances to Terra Colombia S.A. for future drilling services at a cost of $714,377. These advances were recorded as prepaid drilling costs;

     
  (i)

On December 31, 2008, Continental Gold completed the Grupo Transactions. First, Continental Gold purchased a mining plant and equipment from Grupo at a cost of $255,318. Continental Gold paid Grupo cash consideration of $44,504 and issued 5,798 Continental Gold Shares and 2,899 Continental Gold Warrants. Second, Continental Gold assigned accounts payable to Grupo in the amount of $363,074. As consideration for the assignment Continental Gold issued Grupo 9,986 Continental Gold Shares and 4,993 Continental Gold Warrants. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Prior Sales”;

     
  (j)

On December 31, 2008, Continental Gold completed the Bulletco Transactions. First, Continental Gold purchased mining equipment from and reimbursed the cost of tunneling on its Buriticá Project to Centena S.A., a corporation controlled by Bulletco, at a cost of $810,855 of which $104,852 was advanced in 2007. Second, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, Continental Gold received four loans from Bulletco for gross cash proceeds of $1,700,000. On December 31, 2008 the $1,700,000 principal amount of the loans plus $20,596 of accrued interest was converted into equity of Continental Gold pursuant to the issuance to Bulletco (allocated to non-arm’s length entities Reindeer Capital Limited and Expert Funding Corporation) of 4,732,220 Continental Gold Shares and 2,366,100 Continental Gold Warrants with a total deemed value of $1,720,596 in full and final settlement of the loans payable. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Prior Sales”;

     
  (k)

On January 9, 2009 Continental Gold advanced a loan to an affiliate of Bulletco in the amount of $212,790 for a term of ninety (90) days with interest at a rate of 5% per annum which was repaid in accordance with its terms. See “Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Indebtedness of Directors and Executive Officers”; and

     
  (l)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 Continental Gold received non-arm’s length loans in the aggregate amount of $87,500 from Bulletco with fixed rates of interest equal to Libor plus 2% fixed on the drawdown date of each loan. Of these loans, a loan in the principal amount of $60,000 matured on July 30, 2009 and was repaid at that time. As at September 30, 2009 there was an outstanding loan balance of $27,500 which was subsequently repaid in accordance with its terms.

NON-ARM'S LENGTH PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Other than as disclosed in this Information Circular, in connection with any transaction completed within the previous two years prior to the date hereof, Continental Gold has not provided or proposed to provide any assets or services to or obtained or proposed to obtain any assets or services from any director or officer of Continental Gold, any principal securityholder disclosed elsewhere in this Information Circular, or any associates or affiliates of the foregoing.

AVAILABLE FUNDS AND PRINCIPAL PURPOSES

Available Funds

The estimated minimum working capital (total current assets less total current liabilities) available to the Resulting Issuer, and the amounts and sources of other funds that will be available to the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Amalgamation are as follows:

1.

Effective as at September 30, 2009, after giving effect to the Amalgamation, the estimated pro-forma working capital of the Resulting Issuer is approximately $26,634,568, which assumes completion of the Continental Gold Financing and conversion of the Continental Gold Debentures. See “Part V – Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Selected Pro Forma Financial Information”;

   
2.

As at the December 31, 2009, the estimated pro-forma working capital of the Resulting Issuer is approximately $25.3 million, which assumes completion of the Continental Gold Financing, conversion of the Continental Gold Debentures, and expenditures on mineral exploration activities and administration costs of approximately $1.3 million incurred during the period from October 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009; and

   
3.

As at the March 31, 2010, being the estimate of the Effective Date, the estimated pro-forma working capital of the Resulting Issuer is approximately $24.0 million, which assumes completion of the Continental Gold Financing, conversion of the Continental Gold Debentures, and expenditures on mineral exploration activities and administration costs of approximately $1.3 million incurred during the period from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010.

Principal Purposes

The following budgeted amounts are estimates of the principal purposes to which the estimated pro-forma working capital of the Resulting Issuer will be applied.

159



Principal Purpose Budgeted Amount ($)
Exploration budget (for the 18 month period subsequent to completion of the Amalgamation)(includes recommended program of $7,689,740 on the Buriticá Project) 10,300,000
Administrative Expenses (for the 18 month period subsequent to completion of the Amalgamation) 4,500,000
Unallocated working capital (for the 18 month period subsequent to completion of the Amalgamation) 9,200,000
Total $24,000,000

The Resulting Issuer will spend the funds available to it after completion of the Amalgamation to carry out its business plan. See "Part IV – Information Concerning Continental Gold – Properties – The Colombia Projects". There may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be necessary. Working capital available to fund the ongoing operations of the Resulting Issuer will be sufficient to meet its administration costs for 18 months following Closing.

Administration Costs

It is estimated that the monthly administration costs of the Resulting Issuer over the next 18 months will be approximately $250,000 per month and total administration costs over the period will be approximately $4.5 million. Variations in the monthly amounts during this period are anticipated, primarily associated with the timing of the audit of the Resulting Issuer for its financial year which ends on December 31, timing of the next annual general meeting of the Resulting Issuer's shareholders and with fluctuations in the amounts of legal and travel expenses that normally occur in companies with similar characteristics to the Resulting Issuer.

The following is a breakdown of monthly and yearly administration costs prepared on an accrual basis, effective as at March 31, 2010:

  Monthly ($) Yearly ($)
Personnel 161,111 2,900,000
Professional fees 8,333 150,000
Investor Relations 5,556 100,000
Travel expenses 5,556 100,000
Director’s compensation 7,500 135,000
Office and miscellaneous 61,944 1,115,000
  $250,000 $4,500,000

The above-noted administration costs do not include the costs associated with the Amalgamation, which are estimated to total $275,000 for accounting, legal, printing, mailing and related out-of-pocket costs.

Dividends

There will be no restrictions on Amalco’s ability to pay dividends on the Amalco Shares other than Amalco’s financial position. It is expected that Amalco will retain future profits to finance further growth and that Amalco will not pay dividends in the near future. However, Amalco may consider paying dividends on the Amalco Shares in the future when circumstances permit, having regard to, among other things, its earnings, cash flow and financial requirements, as well as relevant legal and business considerations. All of the Amalco Shares are entitled to an equal share in any dividends declared and paid.

Penalties or Sanctions

Dr. Peter B. Bolt was the Chairman, a director and Technical Director for Cambridge Mineral Resources plc from 2005 to 2007. On July 18, 2007 Cambridge Mineral Resources plc was temporarily suspended in accordance with AIM Rule 1 following the resignation of its nominated advisor and broker, Insinger de Beaufort, and was restored following the appointment of a new nominated advisor, Ruegg & Co. Limited, and the appointment of Hichens, Harrison & Co. plc and Haywood Securities (UK) Limited as joint brokers on July 31, 2007.

Mr. Donald H. Christie is currently a director and Chief Financial Officer of Alpha One Corporation (“Alpha One”), a capital pool corporation the shares of which are listed on the NEX Tier of the TSXV. The TSXV issued a bulletin on September 13, 2006 indicating that Alpha One was required to complete a Qualifying Transaction by October 14, 2006, twenty-four months from its date of listing. Further to the TSXV bulletin trading in Alpha One shares was suspended on October 20, 2006 as Alpha One had failed to complete the requirement. On March 9, 2007, as a result of Alpha One failing to comply within the timeframe prescribed by TSXV Policy 2.4, the Alpha One shares were transferred to NEX Tier where they remain suspended pending the closing of a Qualifying Transaction. The trading symbol for the Alpha One shares was changed from AOC.P to AOC.H as a result of the transfer to NEX Tier.

Certain directors and officers of Amalco currently, or may in the future, act as directors or officers of other companies and, consequently, it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties as a director or officer of Amalco and their duties as a director or officer of any other such company.

There is no guarantee that these conflicts will be resolved in favour of Amalco.

The proposed directors and officers of Amalco are aware of the existence of laws governing accountability of directors and officers for corporate opportunity and requiring disclosure by directors and officers of conflicts of interest and the fact that Amalco will rely upon such laws in respect of any director’s or officer’s conflicts of interest or in respect of any breaches of duty by any of its directors or officers.

Continental Gold Limited
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
September 30, 2009

1.

Basis of presentation

  

Continental Gold Limited (the "Company") was incorporated under the Companies Act, 1981(Bermuda) by articles of incorporation dated April 26, 2007. The Company has no subsidiaries. The Company has formed a branch pursuant to the laws of Colombia, South America effective May 23, 2007, and carries on business in Colombia under the name, “CG de Colombia”.

  
2.

Nature of operations and continuance of operations

  

The Company is a development stage company as defined by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Accounting Guideline 11 that engages principally in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Colombia. The Company currently has interests in mineral properties, including an operational mining operation considered by the Company to be in the pre-production stage. Substantially all of the Company’s efforts are devoted to financing and developing these properties as well as carrying out small-scale gold pre- production. There has been no determination whether the Company’s interests in mineral properties contain mineral reserves which are economically recoverable. The Company’s assets are located outside of North America and are subject to the risk of foreign investment, including increases in taxes and royalties, renegotiation of contracts, currency exchange fluctuations and restrictions and political uncertainty.

  

The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration and development programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of mineral properties and the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write-downs of the carrying values.

  

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and development activities and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration and development of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to government licensing requirements or regulations, unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, and non-compliance with regulatory and environmental requirements.

  

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying financial statements. The Company has a need for equity capital and financing for working capital and exploration and development of its properties. As a result of continuing operating losses, the Company’s continuance as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operation. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operation.

  

If the going concern assumptions were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used. The adjustment could be material.

Significant accounting policies

  

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”), using the same accounting policies and methods of application as per the annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 except as described below. The disclosures in these interim unaudited financial statements may not conform in all respects to Canadian GAAP for annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008.

  

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2009.

  

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

  

Goodwill and intangible assets

  

In February 2008 the CICA issued the new Handbook Section 3064, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets", which will replaces Section 3062, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". The new standard establishes revised standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. The new standard applies to annual and interim financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Company adopted the new standard for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

  

Credit risk and the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

  

In January 2009, the CICA approved EIC 173 “Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This guidance clarified that an entity's own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparty should be taken into account in determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities including derivative instruments. This guidance is applicable to fiscal periods ending on or after January 12, 2009. The Company is continually evaluating its counterparties and their credit risks. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

  

Mining exploration costs

  

On March 27, 2009, the Emerging Issues Committee (“EIC”) issued EIC-174. In this EIC the Committee reached a consensus that an enterprise that has initially capitalized exploration costs has an obligation in the current and subsequent accounting periods to test such costs for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The EIC should be applied to financial statements issued after March 27, 2009. The Company has adopted EIC-174. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

  

Future accounting and reporting changes

  

International financial reporting standards ("IFRS")

  

In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS. In February 2008 the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada's own GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

   

Business combinations

   

CICA Handbook Section 1582 “Business Combinations”, replaces Section 1581 - “Business Combinations” and provides the Canadian equivalent to IFRS 3 - Business Combinations. This applies to a transaction in which the acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses. Most assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities that are considered to be improbable, will be measured at fair value. Any interest in the acquiree owned prior to obtaining control will be re-measured at fair value at the acquisition date, eliminating the need for guidance on step acquisitions. Additionally, a bargain purchase will result in recognition of a gain and acquisition costs must be expensed. Management is currently assessing the impact of this new accounting standard on its financial statements. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

   

Consolidations and non-controlling interests

   

CICA Handbook Section 1601 “Consolidations” and Section 1602 “Non-Controlling Interests” replace Section 1600 “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Section 1602 provides the Canadian equivalent to International Accounting Standard 27 - “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, for non-controlling interests. Management is currently assessing the impact of this new accounting standard on its financial statements. These new standards will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

The Company entered into an assignment agreement with Allen dated June 4, 2008, whereby Allen assigned to the Company an option agreement Allen had entered into with AngloGold Ashanti Limited (AngloGold”), dated October 4, 2006. The option agreement currently involves the Dominical and Dojura projects. The terms of the option agreement allow AngloGold to earn up to a 51% interest in the Dominical project by making the following payments: (i) during the 12 month period ended April 4, 2008 AngloGold must spend $450,000 on exploration expenses (exploration expenses include all periodic regulatory payments required to keep the properties in good standing). As at April 4, 2008 the Company advised AngloGold that it had incurred the required expenditures; (ii) on April 4, 2008 AngloGold must make a payment to the Company of $150,000. This payment was received from AngloGold on April 2, 2008; (iii) during the 12-month period ending April 4, 2009, AngloGold must spend $750,000 on exploration expenses. AngloGold spent $407,498 on exploration expenses for the 12-month period ended April 4, 2009. On March 25, 2009 the Company agreed to allow AngloGold to roll forward the remaining $342,502 of exploration expenses to the 12 month period ending April 4, 2010; (iv) on April 4, 2009 AngloGold must make a payment to the Company of $250,000. This payment was received on April 4, 2009; (v) during the 12 month period ending April 4, 2010 AngloGold must spend $1,342,502 on exploration expenses; (vi) on April 4, 2010 AngloGold must make a payment to the Company of $500,000.

     
 

After April 4, 2010 AngloGold has the right to earn an additional 24% in the Dominical project by making semi-annual payments to the Company over a maximum 36 month period ending April 4, 2013 or at the time a feasibility study is completed to the satisfaction of AngloGold, whichever first occurs. The semi-annual payments shall be in the amount of $200,000. On April 4, 2013 or the date of the feasibility study, whichever first occurs, AngloGold must make a final payment to the Company in the amount of $2,500,000 to earn the additional 24% interest in the Dominical project. Allen is entitled to 25% of all cash payments received by the Company from AngloGold.

Mineral properties (continued)

         
(b)

The Anza property is part of a joint venture called the Consorcio Niverengo Joint Venture which was formed by the Company and the arm’s length parties of Exman Ltda., Julian Betancur Montoya, Arelis de Jesus Mejia Quiceno, Eucardo Antonio Mejia Ramirez and Robert P. Shaw pursuant to a joint venture agreement dated December 26, 2007. The joint venture partners own a series of contiguous properties that have been rolled into the joint venture. The objective of the joint venture is to explore and develop precious and base metals on the joint venture property. The Company has a 25% interest in the joint venture. The joint venture agreement is in effect until December 26, 2010 with a one-year extension subject to unanimous agreement by the joint venture partners.

         
(c)

Bullet controls or is the beneficiary of mineral rights in Colombia (collectively, the “Mineral Rights”) some of which are registered in the mining registry (“Current Mineral Rights”), others for which registration is pending (“Beneficial Mineral Rights”) and the remainder of which are applications for mineral rights presented before the competent authority which are currently being processed or applications that will be made up to and including September 7, 2012 (“After Acquired Mineral Rights”). The Company has an option to acquire the Mineral Rights from Bullet pursuant to an option agreement between the Company and Bullet dated January 16, 2008. As at September 30, 2009 the Company has not exercised this option. The details of the option agreement are as follows:

         
a.

the option agreement expires September 7, 2012;

         
b.

the purchase price for Mineral Rights acquired under the option agreement is based on the market value as negotiated by the parties, or as determined by an independent mutually acceptable expert whose opinion shall be binding, pursuant to the following formula:

         
i.

25% of the market value plus all other expenses incurred by Bullet in respect of Current Mineral Rights and Beneficial Mineral Rights; and

         
ii.

100% of the market value in respect of After Acquired Mineral Rights.

         
c.

the purchase price for Mineral Rights acquired under the option agreement may be paid in cash or common shares of the Company as the Company may elect, subject to regulatory approval, and such common shares shall be valued on the basis of a twenty day weighted average trading price formula

         
d.

if the Mineral Rights acquired under the option agreement are subject to a joint venture with a third party, Bullet is entitled to 25% of the benefits derived by the Company from such joint venture for the duration of the joint venture;

         
e.

if the Company elects to acquire Mineral Rights under the option agreement but does not complete such acquisition, such Mineral Rights are no longer subject to the option agreement and may not be acquired by the Company in the future;

         
f.

Bullet retains the right to explore, exploit, recover and commercialize non-metallic elements that may occur in the Mineral Rights, with the result that the Company has no right to non-metallic metals and should non-metallic metals be found on any property acquired by the Company pursuant to the option agreement, or in another property owned by the Company within three kilometres from each point on the outermost boundaries of such Mineral Rights, then all such areas containing non-metallic elements shall be re-conveyed to Bullet for no further consideration; and

  g.

if within twelve months of acquisition under the option agreement the Company does not explore or develop, or chooses to relinquish its interest in such Mineral Rights, then such Mineral Rights shall be re- conveyed to Bullet for no further consideration.


  (d)

On May 30, 2008 the Company entered an agreement to acquire a mining permit to 150 hectares of land contiguous to the Buritica project from an arm’s length party, Luis Fernando Palacio. The total purchase price is $1,900,000 payable in 4 installments - $100,000 which was paid on May 30, 2008; $200,000 on May 28, 2009 which was paid on May 28, 2009; $500,000 on May 30, 2010 and $1,100,000 on May 30, 2011. The purchase price payable on the first, second and third anniversaries may be made in an equivalent value of the Company’s common shares after such common shares are listed on a stock exchange. The Company has the option at any time to discontinue making payments at its sole discretion and return the mining permit to the vendor.

Share capital (continued)

     
(c)

Stock options

     

Under the Company’s stock option plan (the ”Plan”), which was approved in April, 2008, the Company may grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants options to purchase shares of the Company. The Plan provides for the issuance of stock options to acquire up to 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital. The Plan is a rolling plan as the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the grant of stock options will increase as the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital increases. The aggregate number of common shares reserved for issuance granted to any one individual in a 12-month period may not exceed 5% of the total number of shares outstanding. Options granted under the Plan will be for a term not to exceed 10 years. Unless the options granted have specifically stated differently, all options will vest as follows: 1/3 upon grant; 1/3 upon the first anniversary of grant; and 1/3 upon the second anniversary of grant.

     

On January 29, 2009 the Company granted 5,700,000 options which vest 1/3rd on the grant date, 1/3rd on the first anniversary and 1/3rd on the second anniversary. 5,450,000 of the stock options granted are exercisable at $0.36 per common share and have a term of 10 years commencing on the date the options were granted. 250,000 of the options granted have a term of 3 years beginning on the date the Company lists its shares on a recognized stock exchange at an exercise price of CDN$1.50 per share. The fair value of the options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: an expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 100%, a risk-free rate of 3.08% and an expected life of 3 to 10 years.

The Company has 21,166,200 warrants outstanding as at September 30, 2009 (all on the same terms), the exercise price and the ability to exercise the warrants being contingent upon the Company completing an initial public offering of its common shares. The warrants have an expiry date 2 years from the date the Company lists its common shares on a recognized stock exchange at an exercise price equal to the price allocated to common shares in the financing that is concurrent with or most recent to such listing. Subsequent to September 30, 2009 the exercise price for all warrants was amended to $0.3636.

Asset retirement obligations

   

The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) are based on management’s estimates of costs to abandon and reclaim mineral properties and facilities as well as an estimate of the future timing of the costs to be incurred.

   

The following table presents the reconciliation of the beginning and ending aggregate carrying amount of the ARO associated with the retirement of the Company’s exploration properties:


    $   
  Balance – December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009   52,000  

The Company has estimated its total asset retirement obligations to be $52,000 at September 30, 2009 based on a total future liability of approximately $328,000 and a credit adjusted risk-free rate of 13%. Reclamation is expected to occur in the year 2023.

   
9.

Commitments and contingencies

   

The Company is party to certain management contracts. These contracts require that additional payments of up to $660,000 be made upon the occurrence of certain events such as a change of control. As the likelihood of these events taking place is not determinable, the contingent payments have not been reflected in these financial statements. Minimum commitments remaining under these contracts were approximately $386,250 all payable within one year.

   

On July 10, 2009, the Company entered into a 5 year mining agreement with Sociedad Bettel S.A (“Sociedad”). Under the terms of this agreement, Sociedad will perform the activities required for the technical and economic exploitation of the gold reservoir in the mining concession owned by the Company in the Remedios municipality. In the event that the Company sells the mining concession and Sociedad cannot continue mining operations, Sociedad will receive as compensation double the realized investment for the constructions and setup of the mining plant. This maximum expected amount is $500,000,000 Colombian pesos (approximately $260,000).

   

See Notes 5(a), 5(c) and 5(d) for commitments related to properties.

   
10.

Capital Management

   

The Company manages and adjusts its capital structure based on available funds in order to support its operations and the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The capital of the Company consists of share capital, contributed surplus and warrants. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.

   

The Company has entered into pre-production and has begun to generate cash flows to support the ongoing and longer term strategy focused on regional exploration. However, the Company will continue to rely on equity financings to support continued growth. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

   

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

   

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Financial risk factors

   

Financial instruments:

   

Canadian generally accepted accounting principles require that the Company disclose information about the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value estimates are made at the balance sheet date, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties in significant matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

   

The carrying value of cash, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the limited term of these instruments. The fair value of amounts due to or from a related party cannot be reasonably determined as there is no comparable market data for this instrument.

   

Commodity price risk:

   

The ability of the Company to develop its properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the market price of certain minerals.

   

Foreign exchange risk:

   

The Company conducts some of its operating and investing activities in currencies other than the US dollar. The Company is therefore subject to gains or losses due to fluctuations in these currencies relative to the US dollar. As at September 30, 2009, the Company held cash of COL$109,094,081 (approximately $56,200) (2008 - COL$144,346,357) in Colombian currency and had accounts payables of COL$946,539,572 (approximately $488,280) (2008 - COL$687,415,669).

   

Sensitivity Analysis:

   

The Company does not hold a material balance in foreign currency as at September 30, 2009 that would result in a material foreign exchange gain or loss due to a movement in foreign exchange of 10%.

   

Price risk is remote as the Company has not yet begun commercial operations. At the current time the Company has no intention to hedge its future gold sales.

Subsequent events

     
(a)

On February 3, 2009 the Company signed a letter of intent to sell a gold property located on its Zaragoza property for aggregate proceeds of $1,500,000. The Company received a down payment of $100,000. Additionally the Company is to receive annually from the purchaser the greater of 15% of that year’s sales from the mine or $200,000, to a maximum of $1,400,000.

     
(b)

Pursuant to the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement dated November 9, 2009 the Company and Cronus Resources Ltd. (“Cronus”), a TSX Venture Exchange listed company, have agreed to amalgamate, subject to certain conditions, and continue as a Bermuda based company. The amalgamated company shall be called Continental Gold Limited and shall be governed by the existing by-laws of the Company. Each shareholder of the Company and Cronus will receive one common share of the amalgamated company for 2.6973 common shares of the Company and 2.35712 common shares of Cronus, respectively. The outstanding share purchase warrants and stock options of the Company and Cronus will be converted into share purchase warrants and stock options of the amalgamated company by applying the same conversion ratios. The completion of the amalgamation is subject to certain conditions, including shareholder approval and obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals. After completion of the amalgamation but prior to completion of the equity issue, the current shareholders of the Company will own 87% of the common shares of the amalgamated company and the current shareholders of Cronus will own 13% of the common shares of the amalgamated company. The transaction is expected to close on or about March 31, 2010.

     

On January 28, 2010 and February 4, 2010 the Company completed a financing consisting of the sale of 19,166,667 subscription receipts at a price of Cdn. $1.50 per subscription receipt for gross proceeds of Cdn. $28,750,000. Each subscription receipt is convertible into one common share of the amalgamated company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the amalgamated company. The warrants have an exercise price of Cdn. $2.25 and a term of 12 months from the date of the closing of the amalgamation and concurrent listing of the amalgamated shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

     

On November 27, 2009, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the amount of Cdn. $3,000,000. The debenture pays interest only at a rate equal to the Canadian bank prime lending rate plus 2% and matures on November 27, 2011 unless converted prior to maturity. Concurrent with the closing of the amalgamation the debenture automatically converts into 2,000,000 units of the amalgamated company at a conversion price of Cdn. $1.50 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share of the amalgamated company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant has a term of two years from the date of conversion and an exercise price of Cdn. $1.75 per common share of the amalgamated company.

Basis of presentation

   

Continental Gold Limited (the "Company") was incorporated under the Companies Act, 1981 (Bermuda) by articles of incorporation dated April 26, 2007. The Company has no subsidiaries. The Company has formed a branch pursuant to the laws of Colombia, South America effective May 23, 2007, and carries on business in Colombia under the name, “CG de Colombia”.

   
2.

Nature of operations and continuance of operations

   

The Company is a development stage company as defined by Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Accounting Guideline 11 that engages principally in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Colombia. The Company currently has interests in mineral properties, including an operational mining operation considered by the Company to be in the pre-production stage. Substantially all of the Company’s efforts are devoted to financing and developing these properties as well as carrying out small- scale gold pre-production. There has been no determination whether the Company’s interests in mineral properties contain mineral reserves which are economically recoverable. The Company’s assets are located outside of North America and are subject to the risk of foreign investment, including increases in taxes and royalties, renegotiation of contracts, currency exchange fluctuations and restrictions and political uncertainty.

   

The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration and development programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of mineral properties and the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write-downs of the carrying values.

   

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and development activities and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration and development of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to government licensing requirements or regulations, unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, and non-compliance with regulatory and environmental requirements.

   

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying financial statements. The Company has a need for equity capital and financing for working capital and exploration and development of its properties, however, in 2009 the Company believes that it is currently capable of self-financing its working capital requirements and a limited exploration program from the net proceeds of the Company’s small-scale production. In the absence of this small-scale production and as a result of continuing operating losses, the Company’s continuance as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operation. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operation.

If the going concern assumptions were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used. The adjustment could be material.

Significant accounting policies

   

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and their basis of application is consistent with that of the previous year and reflect the following significant accounting policies:

   

Cash and cash equivalents

   

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments held in the form of high quality money market investments and certificates of deposit with investment terms of less than three months at acquisition. These investments are stated at fair value which approximates cost plus accrued interest. The majority of the Company's cash and cash equivalents are held in a major international bank in Bermuda and Panama with the remainder held in major banks in Colombia. As at December 31, 2008 and 2007 the cash and cash equivalents balance was composed entirely of cash.

   

Mineral properties

   

The Company is in the development stage and defers all expenditures related to its mineral properties until such time as the properties are put into commercial production, impaired, sold or abandoned. Pre-production revenues and mineral property option proceeds, if received, are credited against the deferred costs incurred by the Company on the property or properties to which they relate. Under this method, the amounts shown as mineral properties and deferred expenses represent net costs incurred to date less amounts amortized and/or written off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.

   

Costs include the cash consideration and the fair market value of the shares issued for the acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements or by joint ventures, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts at the time of payment.

   

If the properties are put into commercial production, the expenditures will be depleted using the unit of production basis. If the properties are impaired, sold or abandoned, the expenditures will be charged to operations in the related period.

   

The Company reviews capitalized costs on its mineral properties and will recognize an impairment in value based upon current exploration or production results, if any, and upon management's assessment of the future probability of profitable revenues from the properties or from sale of the properties. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the exploration and development properties is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

   

Exploration costs that are not attributable to a specific property are charged to operations.

   

Asset retirement obligations

   

The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated future costs associated with legal obligations relating to the reclamation and closure of its mineral properties. The asset retirement obligation is recorded as a liability with a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. This amount is initially recorded at its discounted present value with subsequent annual recognition of an accretion expense on the discounted liability. As at the period end, the Company had an asset retirement obligations of $52,000.

Significant accounting policies (Continued)

   

Equipment

   

Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following number of years:


  Office equipment 10 years
  Computer equipment 5 years
  Machinery 10 years
  Vehicles 5 years

Foreign currency

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar.

Foreign currency amounts relating to the Company's Colombian operations included in these financial statements are translated using the temporal method of accounting. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing when the assets were acquired or the liabilities incurred. Revenue, expense items and deferred exploration expenses are translated using the average rate of exchange during the financial statement periods, except for depreciation and amortization which are translated at historic rates. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of transactions and balances denominated in foreign currencies are included in operations.

Loss per share

Basic loss per common share has been computed by dividing the loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is determined using the treasury stock method under which deemed proceeds on the exercise of stock options and other dilutive instruments are considered to be used to reacquire common shares at the average share price for the period with the incremental number of shares being included in the denominator of the diluted loss per share calculation. The diluted loss per share calculation excludes any potential conversion of options and warrants that would increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share.

Use of estimates

Estimates by management represent an integral component of financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The estimates made in these financial statements reflect management's judgments based on past experiences, present conditions, and expectations of future events.

Where estimates were made, the reported amounts for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses may differ from the amounts that would otherwise be reflected if the ultimate outcome of all uncertainties and future events were known at the time these financial statements were prepared. Significant estimates include the recoverability of mineral properties and deferred exploration costs, asset retirement obligations, future taxes, the physical and economic lives of equipment and the variables in calculating the fair value of stock based compensation. The Company regularly reviews its estimates and assumptions, however, actual results could differ from these estimates and these differences could be material.

Significant accounting policies (Continued)

   

Stock-based compensation

   

The Company records compensation cost based on the fair value method of accounting for stock based compensation. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the options is recognized over the vesting period as compensation expense and contributed surplus. When options are exercised, the proceeds received, together with any related amount in contributed surplus, will be credited to share capital.

   

Income taxes

   

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby future income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. The future benefits of income tax assets, including unused tax losses, are recognized subject to a valuation allowance, to the extent that it is more likely than not that such losses will be ultimately realized. These future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantially enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to apply when the tax assets or liabilities are to be settled or realized.

   

Intangible asset

   

Intangible assets are recorded at cost and amortized over 3 years using the straight-line method.

   

Impairment of long-lived assets

   

Long-lived assets held for use are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the long-lived assets is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

   

Share issue costs

   

Costs directly attributable with the raising of capital are charged against the related share capital.

   

Comprehensive income

   

Comprehensive income includes both net earnings and other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Other comprehensive income includes holding gains and losses on available for sale investments, gains and losses on certain derivative instruments and foreign currency gains and losses relating to self-sustaining foreign operations, all of which are not included in the calculation of net earnings until the period that the related asset or liability affects income. Cumulative changes in other comprehensive income are included in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") which is presented as a category in shareholders' equity.

   

For the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the comprehensive loss equals net loss.

Significant accounting policies (Continued)

     

Joint ventures

     

A portion of the Company's exploration activities are conducted jointly with others wherein the Company enters into agreements that provide for a specified percentage interest in exploration properties. Expenditures on these properties are capitalized to exploration properties. Joint venture accounting, which reflects the Company's proportionate interest in mineral properties is applied by the Company only when the parties have earned their respective interests and enter into a formal comprehensive agreement for ownership and exploration participation.

     

Financial instruments recognition, measurement, disclosure and presentation

     

All financial instruments are classified into one of these five categories: held-for-trading, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. All financial instruments and derivatives are measured on the balance sheet date at fair value upon initial recognition. Subsequent measurement depends on the initial classification of the instrument. Held-for-trading financial assets are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in operations. Available-for- sale financial instruments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in OCI until the instrument is disposed of or impaired. Loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. All derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value unless they qualify for the normal sales and purchases exemption. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not exempt are recorded in operations.

     

The Company has designated its cash and cash equivalents as held-for trading, which are measured at fair value. Amounts receivable are designated as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to a related party are designated as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had neither available- for-sale nor held-to maturity financial instruments.

     
4.

New accounting policies

     

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued new accounting standards which the Company adopted, effective January 1, 2008: Section 1535 "Capital Disclosures", Section 3862 "Financial Instruments -Disclosures" and Section 3863 "Financial Instruments – Presentation". The new requirements of Sections 1535, 3862 and 3863 are for disclosure purposes only and did not impact the financial results of the Company.

     

(i)

Section 1535 establishes guidelines for the disclosure of information on an entity's capital and how it is managed. This enhanced disclosure enables users to evaluate the entity's objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. See note 14.

 

 

 

(ii)

Sections 3862 and 3863 replace the existing Section 3861 "Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation". Section 3862 requires enhanced disclosure on the nature and extent of financial instrument risks and how an entity manages those risks. Section 3863 carries forward the existing presentation requirements and provides additional guidance for the classification of financial instruments. See note 15.

Inventory

   

Inventory consists of in-process and finished goods, including ore concentrate and gold in dore, which are valued at the lower of production cost or net realizable value. Production costs include the cost of raw materials, direct labour, mine-site overhead expenses and depreciation and depletion of mining interests.

   

Effective January 1, 2008 the Handbook Section 3031 replaces the previous inventories standard and requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value and includes guidance on the determination of cost, including allocation of overheads and other costs to inventory. Further, it requires the reversal of previous write-downs to net realizable value when the economic circumstances have changed to support an increased inventory value. The Company has included disclosures recommended by the new handbook section in note 18 to these financial statements.

   

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

   

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued the new Handbook Section 3064, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets", which will replace Section 3062, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets". The new standard establishes revised standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. The new standard applies to annual and interim financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Management is currently assessing the impact of these new accounting standards on its financial statements.

   

International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")

   

In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five-year transitional period. In February 2008 the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada's own GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Mineral properties

   

Pursuant to a sale agreement between the Company and Bullet Holding Corporation (“Bullet”), dated December 20, 2007, Bullet effected the transfer and assignment to the Company of concession contracts and applications for concession contracts covering nine mineral properties located in Colombia, South America. Bullet is a corporation controlled by Robert W. Allen (“Allen”), the Chairman of the Company. As consideration for the transfer and assignment of the concession contracts, the Company issued 74,000,000 common shares to Bullet at an estimated fair value of $0.2994 per share. On the same date the Company issued to Coastal Investments Inc. (“Coastal”), a company controlled by Allen, 10,000,000 common shares as reimbursement of certain costs made by Bullet on the properties. The Company also issued 2,475,000 units to Reindeer Limited (“Reindeer”), a company controlled by Allen, 275,000 units to Expert Funding Corporation (“Expert”), a company controlled by Gustavo J. Koch, Secretary of the Company and a 10% shareholder of Bullet and 250,000 units to Octavius Partners, LP ("Octavius"), an unrelated company, at $0.3636 per unit as reimbursement of additional costs made by Bullet on the properties. The 3,000,000 units were part of the Company’s December 20, 2007 private placement (note 8(b)). As well the Company assumed responsibility for the reimbursement and payment of other costs made by Bullet on the properties (note 7).

(a)

The Company entered into an assignment agreement with Allen dated June 4, 2008, whereby Allen assigned to the Company an option agreement Allen had entered into with AngloGold Ashanti Limited (AngloGold”), dated October 4, 2006. The option agreement currently involves the Dominical and Dojura projects. The terms of the option agreement allow AngloGold to earn up to a 51% interest in the Dominical project by making the following payments: (i) during the 12 month period ended April 4, 2008 AngloGold must spend $450,000 on exploration expenses (exploration expenses include all periodic regulatory payments required to keep the properties in good standing). As at April 4, 2008 the Company advised AngloGold that it had incurred the required expenditures; (ii) on April 4, 2008 AngloGold must make a payment to the Company of $150,000. This payment was received from AngloGold on April 2, 2008; (iii) during the 12 month period ending April 4, 2009 AngloGold must spend $750,000 on exploration expenses; (iv) on April 4, 2009 AngloGold must make a payment to the Company of $250,000; (v) during the 12 month period ending April 4, 2010 AngloGold must spend $1,000,000 on exploration expenses; (vi) on April 4, 2010 AngloGold must make a payment to the Company of $500,000.

       

Any payments made by AngloGold exceeding the requirements in (i) and (iii) shall carry forward to (v). After April 4, 2010 AngloGold has the right to earn an additional 24% in the Dominical project by making semi-annual payments to the Company over a maximum 36 month period ending April 4, 2013 or at the time a feasibility study is completed to the satisfaction of AngloGold, whichever first occurs. The semi-annual payments shall be in the amount of $200,000. On April 4, 2013 or the date of the feasibility study, whichever first occurs, AngloGold must make a final payment to the Company in the amount of $2,500,000 to earn the additional 24% interest in the Dominical project. Allen is entitled to 25% of all cash payments received by the Company from AngloGold.

Due to a related party

         

During the period ended December 31, 2007, Bullet provided the Company with a $500,000 interest-free loan. The loan was used by the Company to fund exploration costs on the mineral properties prior to the completion of the purchase of the mineral properties by the Company. The loan was repaid by the Company in January 2008. The Company also agreed to reimburse Bullet in the amount of $447,652 for certain expenditures Bullet had made on the mineral properties during 2007 (note 6). The reimbursement was made by the Company in January 2008. The amounts owing were unsecured, non-interest bearing with no fixed terms of repayment.

Share capital

     
(a)

Authorized

     

500,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.0001 and 100,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001, issuable in series.

     

The holders of the common shares are entitled to one vote per share. The holders of the common shares are entitled to dividends, when and if declared by the directors of the Company, and to the distribution of the residual assets of the Company in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company. No dividends have ever been declared or paid as at December 31, 2008.

     

If prior to the completion of an initial public offering of any of the Company’s shares, the holders of at least 51% of the issued and outstanding shares wish to transfer their shares to a bona fide arms’ length purchaser, any selling shareholder may require all or any of the shareholders that did not accept such offer to sell and transfer all their shares to the proposed buyer or as the proposed buyer directs.

     
(b)

Issued and outstanding

     

On December 31, 2008 the Company had 117,332,400 common shares issued and outstanding pursuant to the following transactions:

     

On December 20, 2007 the Company completed a private placement of 25,000,000 units whereby 22,000,000 units were sold at a price of $0.3636 per unit for gross cash proceeds of $8,000,000, 2,475,000 units were issued to Reindeer, 275,000 units issued to Expert and 250,000 units were issued to Octavius at price of $0.3636 per unit, as reimbursement of costs made by Bullet on the properties (note 6). Each unit consisted of one common share valued at a price of $0.2994 per share and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant was valued at $0.1284. The fair value of the warrants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: an expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 100%, a risk-free rate interest rate of 3.77% and an expected life of 2 years.

     

Each full warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at the price of common shares in the financing that is concurrent with or most recent to the listing of the Company’s common shares on a recognized stock exchange. The warrants expire 2 years from the date the Company publicly lists its common shares. As part of the private placement the Company also issued 5,000,000 warrants valued at $641,818 which were issued for consulting services (the “consulting warrants”) with identical terms and conditions to the warrants included with the private placement units.

     

If the Company has not completed a listing on a recognized stock exchange for any reason by June 20, 2010 (note 19(e)), the holders of the common shares and warrants issued pursuant to the private placement completed on December 20, 2007 will be entitled to purchase a sufficient number of the Company’s common shares at a price of $0.0001 per share such that these shareholders own an aggregate of 51% of the common shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. In addition, the warrants issued as part of the private placement will be exercisable at $0.4727. The value of $0.0001 per share has been included in capital stock with the remainder of the $8,000,000 less issue costs included in contributed surplus.

Stock options and warrants

     

Under the Company’s stock option plan (the ”Plan”), which was approved in April, 2008, the Company may grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants options to purchase shares of the Company. The Plan provides for the issuance of stock options to acquire up to 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital. The Plan is a rolling plan as the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the grant of stock options will increase as the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital increases. The aggregate number of common shares reserved for issuance granted to any one individual in a 12-month period may not exceed 5% of the total number of shares outstanding. Options granted under the Plan will be for a term not to exceed 10 years. Unless the options granted have specifically stated differently, all options will vest as follows: 1/3 upon grant; 1/3 upon the first anniversary of grant; and 1/3 upon the second anniversary of grant.

     

The Company has no stock options outstanding as at December 31, 2008. The Company has 21,166,200 warrants outstanding as at December 31, 2008 (consisting of 16,166,200 warrants and 5,000,000 consulting warrants all on the same terms), the exercise price and the ability to exercise the warrants being contingent upon the Company completing an initial public offering of its common shares by no later than December 20, 2009. The warrants have an expiry date 2 years from the date the Company lists its common shares on a recognized stock exchange at an exercise price equal to the price allocated to common shares in the financing that is concurrent with or most recent to such listing. The fair value of the warrants issued of $2,064,286 and the consulting warrants of $641,818 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: an expected dividend yield of 0% (2007 - 0%), expected volatility of 100% (2007- 100%), a risk-free rate interest rate of 1.10% (2007 - 3.77%) and an expected life of 2 years (2007 - 2 years).

Commitments and contingencies

   

The Company is party to certain management contracts. These contracts require that additional payments of up to $660,000 be made upon the occurrence of certain events such as a change of control. As the likelihood of these events taking place is not determinable, the contingent payments have not been reflected in these financial statements. Minimum commitments remaining under these contracts were approximately $386,250 all payable within one year.

   

See Notes 6(a), 6(c) and 6(d) for commitments related to properties.

   
12.

Correction of error

   

The Company has restated its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 in respect of an error in the calculation of a future tax liability related to its exploration properties located in Colombia. The future tax liability was overstated by $507,410, resulting in the exploration properties and deferred exploration expenditures being overstated by the same amount. The error has no effect on the previously reported net loss or loss per share.

   

The effect of the restatement is as follows:


      For the year ended December 31, 2007  
      As Previously           As  
      Reported     Adjustment     Restated  
         
  Balance Sheet                  
  Current assets   8,176,972     -     8,176,972  
  Other assets   252,781     -     252,781  
  Mineral properties   39,871,994     (507,410 )   39,364,584  
  Total assets   48,301,747     (507,410 )   47,794,337  
                     
  Liabilities   1,457,984     -     1,457,984  
  Future income tax liability   13,391,410     (507,410 )   12,884,000  
  Total liabilities   14,849,394     (507,410 )   14,341,984  
  Shareholders’ equity   33,452,353     -     33,452,353  
  Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity   48,301,747     (507,410 )   47,794,337  

13. Income taxes

The future income tax liability arises from the temporary difference between the tax value and the carrying value of the mineral properties. The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to future tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

      2008 2007  
    $ $  
  Future tax assets (liabilities)            
     Mineral Properties   (12,318,500 )   (12,884,000 )

Income taxes (Continued)

   

The Company has approximately $7,100,000 (COL $16,040,000) of costs incurred in Colombia as at December 31, 2008 that under certain circumstances may be carried forward to offset future taxable income in that country.

   

The company is incorporated in Bermuda and it is not subject to income taxes in Bermuda, and as such the losses incurred as a result of corporate expenses in Bermuda will not result in an income tax recovery.

  Net loss before taxes   2,396,413     734,288  
     Expected recoverable income taxes   -     -  
     Adjustment for change in tax rates   (565,500 )   -

14.

Capital Management

   

The Company manages and adjusts its capital structure based on available funds in order to support its operations and the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The capital of the Company consists of share capital, contributed surplus and warrants. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.

   

The Company has entered into pre-production and has begun to generate cash flows to support the ongoing and longer term strategy focused on regional exploration. However, the Company will continue to rely on equity financings to support continued growth. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

   

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

   

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2008.

   
15.

Financial risk factors

   

Financial instruments:

   

Canadian generally accepted accounting principles require that the Company disclose information about the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value estimates are made at the balance sheet date, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties in significant matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

   

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the limited term of these instruments. The fair value of amounts due to a related party cannot be reasonably determined as there is no comparable market data for this instrument.

15.

Financial risk factors (Continued)

   

Commodity price risk:

   

The ability of the Company to develop its properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the market price of certain minerals.

   

Foreign exchange risk:

   

The Company conducts some of its operating and investing activities in currencies other than the US dollar. The Company is therefore subject to gains or losses due to fluctuations in these currencies relative to the US dollar. As at December 31, 2008, the Company held cash of COL$144,346,357 (approximately $64,000) (2007 - COL$280,260,002) in Colombian currency and had accounts payables of COL$687,415,669 (approximately $306,000) (2007 - COL$464,845,185).

   

Sensitivity Analysis:

   

The Company does not hold a material balance in foreign currency as at December 31, 2008 that would result in a material foreign exchange gain or loss due to a movement in foreign exchange of 10%.

   

Price risk is remote as the Company has not yet begun commercial operations. At the current time the Company has no intention to hedge its future gold sales.

   
16.

Segmented information

   

Geographic segmentation of the Company’s capital assets is as follows:


      2008     2007

  Intangible assets   35,331     -

COMPILATION REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Directors of
Continental Gold Limited
Cronus Resources Ltd.

We have read the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Continental Gold Limited as at September 30, 2009 and unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the nine months then ended and for the year ended December 31, 2008 and have performed the following procedures:

1.

Compared the figures in the columns captioned “Continental Gold Limited” to the unaudited interim financial statements of Continental Gold Limited as at September 30, 2009 and for the nine months then ended, and the audited financial statements of Continental Gold Limited for the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively, and found them to be in agreement.

     

2.

Compared the figures in the columns captioned “Cronus Resources Ltd.” to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Cronus Resources Ltd. as at September 30, 2009 and for the nine months then ended, and the audited consolidated financial statements of Cronus Resourcess Ltd. and found them to be in agreement after considering the conversion of balances from Canadian to U.S. dollars.

     
3. Made enquiries of certain officials of Continental Gold Limited who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters about:
     
  a) the basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments; and
     

b)

whether the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the published requirements and regulations of the Securities Acts of Ontario.

     
  The officials:
     
  a) described to us the basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments; and
     

b)

stated that the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the published requirements and regulations of the Securities Acts of Ontario.

     

4.

Read the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements, and found them to be consistent with the basis described to us for determination of the pro forma adjustments.

     

5.

Recalculated the application of the pro forma adjustments to the aggregate of the amounts in the columns captioned “Continental Gold Limited” and “Cronus Resources Ltd.” as at September 30, 2009 and for the nine months then ended, and for the year ended December 31, 2008, and found the amounts in the column captioned “Consolidated” to be arithmetically correct.

     

A pro forma financial statement is based on management assumptions and adjustments which are inherently subjective. The foregoing procedures are substantially less than either an audit or a review, the objective of which is the expression of assurance with respect to management’s assumptions, the pro forma adjustments, and the application of the adjustments to the historical financial information. Accordingly, we express no such assurance. The foregoing procedures would not necessarily reveal matters of significance to the pro forma financial statements, and we therefore make no representation about the sufficiency of the procedures for the purposes of a reader of such statement.

Basis of presentation

 

Continental Gold Limited (“Continental Gold”) is a private company that was incorporated under the laws of Bermuda on April 26, 2007. Continental Gold is engaged in the business of mineral exploration in Colombia, South America.

 

Cronus Resources Ltd. (“Cronus Resources”) is a junior public company continued under the laws of the Province of Ontario. Cronus Resources has been engaged in the exploration of a large land package surrounding the historical high-grade San Juan gold/silver mine in Baja, Mexico.

 

On November 9, 2009, Continental Gold and Cronus Resources entered into a Pre-Amalgamation Agreement to complete an amalgamation (the ”Amalgamation”) of the two companies resulting in the creation of an amalgamated entity to continue operations under the name of Continental Gold Limited (the “Resulting Issuer”). Under the terms of the Pre-Amalgamation Agreement the shareholders of Continental Gold shall exchange 2.6973 shares of Continental Gold for receipt of one share of the Resulting Issuer and the shareholders of Cronus Resources shall exchange 2.35712 shares of Cronus Resources for receipt of one share of the Resulting Issuer. The completion of the amalgamation is subject to certain conditions, including shareholder approval and obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals.

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss are stated in U.S. dollars and have been prepared by management for inclusion in the Joint Management Information Circular dated February 17, 2010 for distribution to the shareholders of Continental Gold and Cronus Resources. This pro forma consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss have been prepared from information derived from the unaudited financial statements of Continental Gold as at September 30, 2009, the unaudited financial statements of Cronus Resources as at September 30,2009, the audited financial statements of Continental Gold as at December 31, 2008 and the audited financial statements of Cronus Resources as at December 31, 2008, together with other information available to the companies. The balance sheet of Cronus Resources has been translated into U.S. dollars using the spot rate of 1.0722 Canadian dollars for each U.S. dollar as at September 30, 2009. The September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 statements of loss and comprehensive loss have been translated to U.S. dollars using the nine and twelve month average rates of 1.1698 and 1.0660 Canadian dollars respectively for each U.S. dollar.

 

 

Management believes the pro forma consolidated balance sheet and statements of loss and comprehensive loss includes all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the proposed transactions and assumptions as described below.

 

The pro forma consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss may not be indicative either of the results that actually would have occurred if the events reflected herein had taken place on the dates indicated or of the results that may be obtained in the future. The pro forma consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Continental Gold and Cronus Resources referred to above and included in the Joint Management Information Circular.

 

2.

Significant accounting policies

 

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are as set out in Continental Gold’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. In preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information, a review was undertaken to indentify accounting policy differences between Continental Gold and Cronus Resources where the impact was potentially material and could be reasonably estimated. Accounting policy differences may be identified after the consummation and integration of the proposed amalgamation. However the significant accounting policies of Cronus Resources are believed to conform in all material respects to those of Continental Gold.

Pro forma assumptions and adjustments prior to and concurrent with the completion of the Amalgamation

 

 

 

 

The unaudited consolidated pro forma balance sheet as at September 30, 2009 is prepared as if the transactions described below occurred on September 30, 2009. The unaudited consolidated pro forma statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008 are prepared as if the transactions described below occurred on January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2008 respectively.The pro forma assumptions and adjustments prior to and concurrent with the completion of the Amalgamation are as follows:

 

 

 

 

a)

Continental Gold completed a secured convertible debenture issue on November 27, 2009 in the amount of Cdn. $3,000,000 (U.S. $2,797,985). The convertible debenture is secured by a 100%guarantee from Robert W. Allen an officer of Continental Gold. The convertible debenture has a term of 2 years, pays interest only during the term and bears interest at a rate equal to the CIBC Prime lending rate plus 2%, accrued and payable monthly in arrears. The debenture is automatically converted into units of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Amalgamation at a conversion price of Cdn. $1.50 per unit (2,000,000 units). Each unit consists of one common share of the Resulting Issuer and one common share purchase warrant of the Resulting Issuer. The common share purchase warrant has a term of 2 years from the date of conversion and a strike price of Cdn. $1.75 per share. The costs associated with the issuance of the convertible debenture amounted to U.S. $40,000.

 

 

 

 

The fair value of the common share purchase warrants of U.S. $798,360, resulting from the conversion of the debenture into units of the Resulting Issuer, was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:


  Risk-free interest rate 1.26%
  Expected volatility 100%
  Expected life of warrants 2 years
  Expected dividend yield Nil

 

b)

Concurrent to the closing of the Amalgamation, Continental Gold will complete a brokered private placement of units of the Resulting Issuer for a minimum amount of Cdn. $25,000,000 (U.S. $23,316,545) or 16,666,667 units. In addition, the underwriters will acquire a further 15% of the subscription receipts. Total proceeds raised will amount to Cdn. $28,750,000 (U.S. $26,814,027) or 19,166,667 units. The units will consist of one share of the Resulting Issuer and one half of one share purchase warrant with a term of 2 years. Each full warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Resulting Issuer at a strike price of Cdn. $2.25 per share. The underwriting cash commission is equal to 7% of the gross proceeds or Cdn. $2,012,500 (U.S. $1,876,982). The underwriters will also receive a broker option to purchase units of the Resulting Issuer up to 7% of the number of units sold by the underwriters. The broker option has a term of 2years and has an exercise price of $1.50 per unit. The units will have the same terms and conditions as the units to be issued pursuant to the brokered private placement. Additional cash expenses of the private placement are estimated to be U.S. $30,000.

 

 

 

 

The fair value of the warrants (9,583,334) of Cdn. $4,159,000 (U.S. $3,878,941) to be issued pursuant to the private placement was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:


  Risk-free interest rate 1.26%
  Expected volatility 100%
  Expected life of warrants 2years
  Expected dividend yield Nil

The fair value of the brokers’ option (1,341,667) of Cdn. $1,059,500 (U.S. $988,155) was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

  Risk-free interest rate 1.26%
  Expected volatility 100%
  Expected life of option 2years
  Expected dividend yield Nil

Pro forma assumptions and adjustments prior to and concurrent with the completion of the Amalgamation (Continued)

 

 

(c)

Subsequent to September 30, 2009 Cronus Resources received final net proceeds of $44,000 (U.S. $41,037) from the sale of 220,000 units pursuant to an August 5, 2009 non-brokered private placement. Each unit consisted of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional share of Cronus Resources for Cdn. $0.40 for two years. The value of the warrants is nominal.

 

 

(d)

The Amalgamation does not constitute a business combination and thus has been accounted for as an acquisition of the assets of Cronus Resources by Continental Gold:

 

 

(i)

the assets and liabilities of Cronus Resources are included in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair market values.

 

 

(ii)

Share capital, warrants, contributed surplus and the deficit of Cronus Resources are eliminated by a charge to equity of the Resulting Issuer. The fair market value of the investment and mineral properties held by Cronus are assumed to be nil.

 

 

 

 

(iii)

Costs of the transaction are expected to be U.S. $160,000.

2.4

For greater certainty, such determination of a longer or shorter period may be made at any time subsequent to the date of grant of the Options, provided that no Option shall remain outstanding for any period which exceeds the earlier of: (i) the expiry date of such Option; and (ii) 36 months following the Termination Date or Retirement Date, as the case may be, of the Participants. The Board may delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company to make any determination with respect to the expiry or termination date of Options held by any departing Participant, other than a departing non-management director or the Chief Executive Officer. If any portion of an Option has not vested on the Termination Date or Retirement Date, as the case may be, the Participant, the Participant’s RRSP or the Participant’s Holding Company may not, after the Termination Date or Retirement Date, as the case may be, exercise such portion of the Option which has not vested, provided that the Board may determine at any time, including for greater certainty at any time subsequent to the date of grant of the Options, that such portion of the Option vests automatically or pursuant to a vesting schedule determined by the Board. The Board may delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer to make any determination with respect to vesting of Options or any portion thereof held by any departing Participant, other than a departing non-management director or the Chief Executive Officer.

G-5



(b)

If a Participant dies, the legal representatives of the Participant may exercise the Options held by the Participant, the Participant’s RRSP and the Participant’s Holding Company within a period after the date of the Participant’s death as determined by the Board, and for greater certainty such determination may be made at any time subsequent to the date of grant of the Options, provided that no Option shall remain outstanding for any period which exceeds the earlier of (i) the expiry date of such Option; and (ii) 12 months following the date of death of the Participant, but only to the extent the Options were by their terms exercisable on the date of death. The Board may determine at any time, including for greater certainty at any time subsequent to the date of grant of the Options, that such portion of the Option vests automatically or pursuant to a vesting schedule determined by the Board. The Board may delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer to make any determination with respect to the expiry or termination date of Options or vesting of Options or any portion thereof held by any deceased Participant, other than a departing non- management director or the Chief Executive Officer. If the legal representative of a Participant who has died exercises the Option of the Participant or the Participant’s RRSP or the Participant’s Holding Company in accordance with the terms of this Plan, the Company will have no obligation to issue the Shares until evidence satisfactory to the Company has been provided by the legal representative that the legal representative is entitled to act on behalf of the Participant, the Participant’s RRSP or the Participant’s Holding Company to purchase the Shares under this Plan.

     
2.6  

Option Agreements

Each Option must be confirmed, and will be governed, by an agreement in a form (which may, but need not be, in the form of Schedule “A” hereto) determined by the Board and signed on behalf of the Company and the Participant or an RRSP of which the Participant is an annuitant or the Participant’s Holding Company.

2.7

Payment of Option Price

The exercise price of each Share purchased under an Option must be paid in full by bank draft or certified cheque at the time of exercise, and upon receipt of payment in full, but subject to the terms of this Plan, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised will be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable. Share certificates representing the number of Shares in respect of which the Option has been exercised will be issued only upon payment in full of the relevant exercise price to the Company.

2.8

Acceleration of Vesting

In the event of a Change of Control, all Options outstanding shall be immediately exercisable, notwithstanding any determination of the Board pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, if applicable. Notwithstanding the vesting schedule for an Option that is specified in an agreement granting an Option or in this Plan, the Committee shall have the right with respect to any one or more Participants in this Plan to accelerate the time at which an option may be exercised.

2.9  

Merger and Acquisition

     
 

In the event of a transaction or proposed transaction that results or will result in a Change of Control:

     
(g)

subject to Section 2.8, the Committee may, in a fair and equitable manner, determine the manner in which all unexercised Options granted under this Plan will be treated including, without limitation, requiring the acceleration of the time for the exercise of such rights by the Participants, the time for the fulfillment of any conditions or restrictions on such exercise, and the time for the expiry of such Options;

G-6



  (h)

the Committee or any company which is or would be the successor to the Company or which may issue securities in exchange for Shares upon the transaction becoming effective may offer any Participant the opportunity to obtain a new or replacement option over any securities into which the Options are exercisable, on a basis proportionate to the number of Shares under Option and at a proportionate Exercise Price (and otherwise substantially upon the terms of the Option being replaced, or upon terms no less favourable to the Participant) including, without limitation, the periods during which the Option may be exercised and expiry dates; and in such event, the Participant shall, if he accepts such offer, be deemed to have released his Option over the Shares and such Option shall be deemed to have lapsed and be cancelled; or

     
  (i)

the Committee may exchange for or into any other security or any other property or cash, any Option that has not been exercised, upon giving to the Participant to whom such Option has been granted at least 30 days written notice of its intention to exchange such Option, and during such notice period, the Option, to the extent it has not been exercised, may be exercised by the Participant without regard to any vesting conditions attached thereto, and on the expiry of such notice period, the unexercised portion of the Option shall lapse and be cancelled.

Subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 2.9 are intended to be permissive and may be utilized independently of, successively with, or in combination with each other and Section 2.8, and nothing therein contained shall be construed as limiting or affecting the ability of the Committee to deal with Options in any other manner. All determinations by the Committee under this Section 2.9 will be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes.

2.10

Amendment of Option Terms

Subject to the prior approval of any applicable regulatory authorities and/or stock exchange (as required) and the consent of the Participant affected thereby, the Board may amend or modify any outstanding Option in any manner to the extent that the Board would have had the authority to initially grant the Option as so modified or amended, including without limitation, to change the date or dates as of which, or the price at which, an Option becomes exercisable, provided however, that the consent of the Participant shall not be required where the rights of the Participant are not adversely affected.

ARTICLE 3
MISCELLANEOUS

3.1

Prohibition on Transfer of Options

Options are personal to each Participant. Without the permission of the Company, no Participant or RRSP or Holding Company of a Participant may deal with any Options or any interest in them or Transfer any Options now or hereafter held by the Participant or RRSP or Holding Company of a Participant. If a Participant’s Holding Company ceases to be wholly-owned and controlled by the Participant, such Participant will be deemed to have Transferred any Options held by such Holding Company. A purported Transfer of any Options without the permission of the Company will not be valid and the Company will not issue any Share upon the attempted exercise of improperly transferred Options.

3.2

Capital Adjustments

If there is any change in the outstanding Shares by reason of a stock dividend or split, recapitalization, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares, or other fundamental or similar corporate change, the Board will make, subject to any prior approval required of relevant stock exchanges or other applicable regulatory authorities, if any, an appropriate substitution or adjustment in (i) the exercise price of any unexercised Options under this Plan; (ii) the number or kind of shares or other securities reserved for issuance pursuant to this Plan; and (iii) the number and kind of shares subject to unexercised Options theretofore granted under this Plan; provided, however, that no substitution or adjustment will obligate the Company to issue or sell fractional shares. In the event of the reorganization of the Company or the amalgamation or consolidation of the Company with another corporation, the Board may make such provision for the protection of the rights of Eligible Persons, Participants, their RRSPs and their Holding Companies as the Board in its discretion deems appropriate. The determination of the Board, as to any adjustment or as to there being no need for adjustment, will be final and binding on all parties.

G-7


The grant of an Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

3.3

Non-Exclusivity

Nothing contained herein will prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for the benefit of any Eligible Person or Participant, subject to any required regulatory or shareholder approval.

3.4

  (i)

any amendment to the number of securities issuable under the Plan, including an increase to a fixed maximum number of securities or a change from a fixed maximum number of securities to a fixed maximum percentage.

  (ii)

any change to the definition of the Eligible Persons which would have the potential of broadening or increasing insider participation;

       
  (iii)

the addition of any form of financial assistance;

  (vii)

a discontinuance of the Plan; and

G-8



    (viii) any other amendments that may lead to significant or unreasonable dilution in the Company’s outstanding securities or may provide additional benefits to Eligible Persons, especially insiders of the Company, at the expense of the Company and its existing shareholders.
 
(b)

Participation in this Plan by a Participant is voluntary.

3.8  

Securities Regulation and Tax Withholding

     
(a)

Where necessary to effect exemption from registration of the Shares under securities laws applicable to the securities of the Company, a Participant shall be required, upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to the Plan, to acquire the Shares with investment intent (i.e. for investment purposes) and not with a view to their distribution, and to present to the Board an undertaking to that effect in a form acceptable to the Board. The Board may take such other action or require such other action or agreement by such Participant as may from time to time be necessary to comply with applicable securities laws. This provision and/or the granting of any Option shall in no way obligate the Company to undertake the registration of any Options or the Shares under any securities laws applicable to the securities of the Company.

G-9



(b)

The Board and the Company may take all such measures as they deem appropriate to ensure that the Company's obligations under the withholding provisions under income tax laws applicable to the Company and other provisions of applicable laws are satisfied with respect to the issuance of Shares or the grant or exercise of Options under this Plan.

     
(c)

Issuance, transfer or delivery of certificates for Shares purchased pursuant to this Plan may be delayed, at the discretion of the Board, until the Board is satisfied that the applicable requirements of securities and income tax laws have been met.

100.

Except insofar as the rights attaching to, or the terms of issue of, any share otherwise provide:

     
(a)

all dividends may be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares in respect of which the dividend is paid, and any amount paid up on a share in advance of calls may be treated for the purpose of this Bye-law as paid- up on the share;

     
(b)

dividends may be apportioned and paid pro rata according to the amounts paid- up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid.

     
101.

No dividend or other moneys payable by the Company on or in respect of any share shall bear interest against the Company.

     
102.

Any dividend, interest or other sum payable in cash to the holder of shares may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post addressed to the holder at his address in the Register or, in the case of joint holders, addressed to the holder whose name stands first in the Register in respect of the shares at his registered address as appearing in the Register. Every such cheque or warrant shall, unless the holder or joint holders otherwise direct, be made payable to the order of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the order of the holder whose name stands first in the Register in respect of such shares, and shall be sent at his or their risk and payment of the cheque or warrant by the bank on which it is drawn shall constitute a good discharge to the Company. Any one (1) of two (2) or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends or other moneys payable or property distributable in respect of the shares held by such joint holders.

     
103.

Any dividend unclaimed for a period of six (6) years from the date of declaration of such dividend shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company and the payment by the Board of any unclaimed dividend, interest or other sum payable on or in respect of the share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof.

23



104.

The Board may direct payment or satisfaction of any dividend or distribution out of contributed surplus declared by them and which is to be satisfied wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets, and in particular of paid-up shares or debentures of any other company, only with the sanction of the Company in general meeting and where any difficulty arises in regard to such dividend or distribution the Board may settle it as it thinks expedient, and in particular, may authorise any person to sell and transfer any fractions or may ignore fractions altogether, and may fix the value for dividend or distribution purposes of any such specific assets and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the values so fixed in order to secure equality of distribution and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Board.

RESERVES

105.

The Board may, before recommending or declaring any dividend set aside out of the profits of the Company such sums as they think proper as a reserve fund to be used to meet contingencies or for equalising dividends or for any other special purpose. Pending the application of such reserve fund it may be invested in such manner as the Board shall think fit.

CAPITALISATION OF PROFITS AND SHARE PREMIUMS

106.

The Company may at any time and from time to time resolve in general meeting to the effect that it is desirable to capitalise any undivided profits (including profits standing to the credit of any reserve or other special account) not required for the payment of any fixed dividend or any moneys held on any share premium account or any capital redemption reserve fund other than any reserve fund which may have been established according to the terms of issue of such capital and accordingly that such amount be set free for distribution amongst the Members (excluding the Company in respect of any Treasury Shares held by the Company) or any class of Members who would be entitled thereto if distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions, on the basis that the same be not paid in cash but be applied in payment up in full of unissued shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company, to be allotted and distributed credited as fully paid amongst such Members, or partly in one way and partly in the other, and the Board shall give effect to such resolution provided that for the purpose of this Bye- law, any sum standing to the credit of the share premium account may be applied only in paying up unissued shares of the same class in respect of which the share premium was paid to be issued to such Members credited as fully paid.

  
107.

Where any difficulty arises in regard to any distribution under the last preceding Bye- law the Board may settle the same as they think expedient and, in particular, may authorise any person to sell and transfer any fractions or may resolve that the distribution should be as nearly as may be practicable in the correct proportion but not exactly so or may ignore fractions altogether, and may determine that cash payments should be made to any Members in order to adjust the rights of all parties, as may seem expedient to the Board. The Board may appoint any person to sign on behalf of the persons entitled to participate in the distribution any contract necessary or desirable for giving effect thereto and such appointment shall be effective and binding upon the Members.

24


RECORD DATES

108.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Bye-laws the Board may fix any date as the record date for any allotment or issue of shares and for the purpose of identifying the persons entitled to receive notices of general meetings. Any such record date shall be not less than thirty (30) and not more than sixty (60) days before the date on which such allotment or issue is to be made or such notice is to be despatched.

ACCOUNTING RECORDS

109.

The Board shall exercise a general supervision over the financial affairs of the Company and shall cause to be kept in accordance with such generally accepted accounting principles as the Board may from time to time determine accounting records sufficient to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs and to show and explain its transactions, in accordance with the Companies Act.

  
110.

The records of account shall be kept at the Registered Office or at such other place or places as the Board thinks fit, and shall at all times be open to inspection by the Directors; provided that if the records of account are kept at some place outside Bermuda, there shall be kept at an office of the Company in Bermuda such records as will enable the Directors to ascertain with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Company at the end of each three month period. No Member (other than an officer of the Company) shall have any right to inspect any accounting record or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorised by the Board or by the Company in general meeting

Save and to the extent that an audit is waived in the manner permitted by the Companies Act, an auditor shall be appointed at each Annual General Meeting of the Company and his duties regulated in accordance with the Companies Act, any other applicable law and such requirements not inconsistent with the Companies Act as the Board may from time to time determine. The remuneration of the auditor shall be fixed by the Members in general meeting or referred by them to the Board.

25


SERVICE OF NOTICES AND OTHER
DOCUMENTS

113.

Any notice or other document (including a share certificate) may be served on or delivered to any Member or Director or Resident Representative by the Company:

   
(a)

by sending it through the post (by airmail where applicable) in a pre-paid letter addressed to such Member or Director or Resident Representative at his address as appearing in the Register or Register of Directors and Officers;

   
(b)

by delivering it to such Member or Director or Resident Representative in person;

   
(c)

by transmitting it by electronic means (including facsimile and electronic mail but excluding by telephone) in accordance with such directions as may be given by such Member or Director or Resident Representative for this purpose; or

   
(d)

in accordance with bye-law 115.

   

In the case of joint holders of a share, service or delivery of any notice or other document on or to one of the joint holders shall for all purposes be deemed as sufficient service on or delivery to all the joint holders.

   
114.

Any notice or other document if sent by post shall be deemed to have been served on the day it is committed to the post, and in proving such service it shall be sufficient to prove that the notice or document was properly addressed, stamped and committed to the post. Any notice transmitted by electronic means shall be deemed to have been served on the day it is transmitted.

   
115.

Where a Member or Director or Resident Representative indicates his consent (in a form and manner satisfactory to the Board) to receive information or documents by accessing them on a website rather than by other means, the Board may deliver such information or documents by notifying the Member or Director or Resident Representative of their availability and including therein the address of the website, the place on the website where the information or document may be found and instructions as to how the information or document may be accessed on the website. In the case of information or documents delivered in accordance with this Bye-law, service shall be deemed to have occurred when:

26



(a)

the Member or Director or Resident Representative is notified in accordance with this Bye-law; and

     
(b)

the information or document is published on the website.

     
116.

Any notice or other document delivered, sent or given to a Member in any manner permitted by these Bye-laws shall, notwithstanding that such Member is then dead or bankrupt or that any other event has occurred, and whether or not the Company has notice of the death or bankruptcy or other event, be deemed to have been duly served or delivered in respect of any share registered in the name of such Member as sole or joint holder unless his name shall, at the time of service or delivery of the notice or document, have been removed from the Register as the holder of the share, and such service or delivery shall for all purposes be deemed as sufficient service or delivery of such notice or document on all persons, interested (whether jointly with or as claiming through or under him) in the share.

WINDING UP

117.

If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, divide amongst the Members in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of a property of the same kind or not) and may for such purposes set such values as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trust for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any shares or other assets upon which there is any liability.

INDEMNITY

118. (a)

The Directors, Secretary, Resident Representative and other officers (such term to include any person appointed to any committee of the Board) for the time being acting in relation to any of the affairs of the Company, any subsidiary thereof, and the liquidator or trustees (if any) for the time being acting in relation to any of the affairs of the or any subsidiary thereof, and everyone of them, and everyone of their heirs, executors and administrators, shall be indemnified and secured harmless out of the assets of the Company from and against all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses which they or any of them, their or any of their heirs, executors or administrators, shall or may incur or sustain by or by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the execution of their duty, or supposed duty, in their respective offices or trusts and none of them shall be answerable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of the other or others of them or for joining in any receipts for the sake of conformity, or for any bankers or other persons with whom any moneys or effects belonging to the Company shall or may be lodged or deposited for safe custody, or for insufficiency or deficiency of any security upon which any moneys of or belonging to the Company shall be placed out on or invested, or for any other loss, misfortune or damage which may happen in the execution of their respective offices or trusts, or in relation thereto; provided that this indemnity shall not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty which may attach to any of said persons.

27



(b)

Each Member agrees to waive any claim or right of action he might have, whether individually or by or in the right of the Company, against any Director or officer on account of any action taken by such Director or officer, or the failure of such Director or officer to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for the Company or any subsidiary thereof provided that such waiver shall not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty which may attach to such Director or officer.

     
119.

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or officer against any liability incurred by him under the Act in his capacity as a Director or officer or indemnifying such Director or officer in respect of any loss arising or liability attaching to him by virtue of any rule of law in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which the Director or officer may be guilty in relation to the Company or any subsidiary thereof.

     
120.

Expenses incurred by a Director or officer of the Company in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by, and only in compliance with, the Act or any other applicable laws as may from time to time be in effect, including, without limitation, any provision of the Act that requires, as a condition precedent to such expense advancement, the delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director is not entitled to be indemnified under Bye-law 118 or otherwise. Repayments of all amounts so advanced shall be upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board deems appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a director or executive officer be entitled to the advancement of expenses if a determination has been made by a judicial authority or governmental entity or agency or, absent such determination, any such authority, entity or agency has taken a position or issued any guidance stating, that the advancement of expenses to a director or executive officer constitutes a personal loan in contravention of any law or regulation.

 
121.

The Company's obligation to indemnify and to prepay expenses under Bye-laws 118 and 120 shall arise, and all rights granted to the Company's Directors and officers hereunder shall vest, at the time of the occurrence of the transaction or event to which a proceeding relates, or at the time that the action or conduct to which such proceeding relates was first taken or engaged in (or omitted to be taken or engaged in), regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed (and whether arising out of a transaction or event occurring before or after adoption of Bye-laws 118 to 124). Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bye-laws, no action taken by the Company subsequent to the adoption of Bye-laws 118 to 124, either by amendment of these Bye-laws or otherwise, shall diminish or adversely affect any rights to indemnification or prepayment of expenses granted under Bye-laws 118 and 120 which shall have become vested as aforesaid prior to the date that such amendment or other corporate action is effective or taken, whichever is later.

28



122.

If a claim under Bye-law 118 is not paid in full by the Company within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such suit (other than a suit brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition when the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Company) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Companies Act or other applicable law to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company. The failure of the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or Members) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit as to whether indemnification is proper in the circumstances based upon the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Companies Act or other applicable law shall neither be a defense to the action nor create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

  
123.

The indemnification provided by Bye-laws 118 to 124 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any statute, these Bye-laws, agreement, vote of Members or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

  
124.

The rights to indemnification and prepayment of expenses which are conferred on the Directors and officers by Bye-laws 118 to 124 may be conferred upon any employee or agent of the Company or other person serving at the request of the Company if, and to the extent, authorized by the Board.

ALTERATION OF BYE-LAWS

125.

No Bye-law may be rescinded, altered or amended and no new Bye-law may be made save in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act and until the same has been approved by a resolution of the Board and by a resolution of the Members.
