Our Philosophy
The philosophy of the company rests on three, solidly interrelated motives:
The development of a dedicated and sustainable relationship with the local communities
The contribution to the development of the country’s relatively ‘young’ mining sector
These principles have driven, and will continue to drive, Mayfox Mining’s operations both locally and
globally. In terms of purporting a sustainable impact with the local community, Mayfox Mining is com
mitted on several fronts. Indeed the mining sector can be said to be relatively ‘young’ in Kenya, with all
social and professional consequences that follow.
3
Mineral reserve areas are left adrift, impacted only by occasional artisan miners, who find themselves
working not only as abusive professionals, but are also subject to harshly unsafe conditions; these work
ers are thus exposed not only to the operational risks typical of mining, but also to frequent aggression
and theft even for strictly marginal findings.
Having researched and witnessed these conditions alongside the existing communities, at Mayfox Min
ing we are firmly aware of the ethical and social need to an extensive inclusion of the latter in our opera
tions. Not only are we committed to ensuring extensive degrees of local content in our employment, but
we are also committed to a first-rate formation of local resources. The sustained training of local skills
in the operation and management of our fields is something in which Mayfox Mining believes strongly,
for an ever-increasing mutual benefit between the company and our close communities
Moreover, the current expansion of the mining sector, in which Mayfox Mining is proud to partake, will
likely imply a development of the legal and commercial infrastructure in the field, as recent governmen
4
tal initiatives suggest. At Prestige gems we hope we can contribute strongly, at any occasion, and for this
matter
we pride ourselves with being a prime and close affiliate to the Kenya National Chamber of Mines.
At any level, from that of financial regulation, to that of professional and safety standards, we are com
mitted to putting our experience at the service of public regulators. In the recent past we have proudly
represented, alongside the Chamber of Mines and other local companies, the interests and rights of the
Kenyan mining sector and national and international occasions, and we thus hope we can constructively
continue to do this, both locally and globally, to ensure that the fertile Kenyan Mining sector continues
to prosper, as it rightfully should.
Our third principle that of integrating our operations to international financial markets, evidently fol
lows from the abovementioned. As an international Board, with wide-ranging experience across differ
ent sectors, and throughout different regions, we are aware of the crucial relevance, and benefit, that the
leverage on international financial markets can bring to the local investments. Evidently this leverage
will thrive as the social, legal, and commercial infrastructure of the Kenyan mining sector pursues in its
consolidation. We thus aim to contributing to this growth, as our strategic intentions are to foster our
operations via both private and public placements of the company, with increasingly global reaches, as
operations proceed.
The strong interrelations between the three main principles driving our company’s philosophy can thus
be resumed: we intend to grow with Kenya, a growth we very much believe in, and aim at contributing
to place its mining sector on the global financial map. In order to do so, for the long term ahead, Mayfox
Mining is all the more aware of the crucial relevance of developing a safer, sustainable, and skilled envi
ronment for all local content involved. We thus invite you to send us any consideration you might find
useful, and we very much hope you will join us in growing alongside this prosperous country, for the
prosperous future we foresee.

Exploration Projects
Murulim Hills
Eleven (11) target areas have been identified within Murulim Hills. The area lies on the Block 281A
(West) where Neoproterozoic Mozambiquan belt rocks of Archean age are exposed that are favorable
for gold mineralization. Detailed stream sediment sampling and trenching on the target areas will need
to be carried in order to identify drilling targets that will eventually prove a resource. The minerals of
interest include: Gold (Au), Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb) and Uranium (U)
Kalimapus Goldfields
Three (3) target areas have been established in Kalimapus goldfields. The area is geologically regarded
to have the best gold potential due to its positive sample results (2.3 g/ton Au) and well defined (K)
alteration zones in association with the NNW-SSE shear zones. The tectonic setting is similar to that of
the Niassa Gold Belt in Northern Mozambique and possibly even better, given the possibility that the
rocks here are comprised of reworked Neoproterozoic crust and possibly also of juvenile Neoprotero
zoic crust. Such structures play host to reserves of 3-5 million oz of gold (Au).
Lapur Ranges
Artisanal gold mining in the renowned Sesame area just north of the Lapur Range has been ongoing for
many years. The geological similarities of Sesame and Lapur ranges gave positive indications of gold
occurrence in the previously owned licensed area. An in-fill soil sampling program on 5 target areas was
undertaken in order to define further identified anomalies and to choose more accurately trenching and
drilling sites. However, the areas did not test positive for further operations and was hence relinquished.
12
Nakalale Goldfields
This area lies under Special Prospecting License (SPL) 221, covering an area of approximately 135sq.
km. Several gold occurrences are quite evident in the license area, such as the Makutano (“Gold”) area
situated about 35 Km NW of Lodwar town and in Lomeguro. Previous rock samples taken by Mayfox
have tested positive for gold (Au) with highs of up to 15g/ton.
The Nadwat shear zone is the most prominent geological structural feature in SPL 221. It consists of two
parallel quartz veins that have been exploited by artisanal miners for years. The veins potentially extend
towards the South West across a seasonal stream in an area where the Mozambiquian substratum is
covered by a thin layer of quaternary sediments, anticipated to be 5 to 20m thick. The structural char
acteristics of the shear zone are yet to be determined. Other known primary gold occurrences include a
shear zone at Lolupe, and a quartz vein at Aterika.
Mayfox is in the process of undertaking a rapid assessment of the gold production potential over SPL
221.
