WHY WEST AFRICA? Birimian Terrane of western Africa where +50 million ounces of gold discovered in last 10 years. Deposit Ownership Afaho Newmont Mining Akyem Newmont Mining Essakane IAMGOLD Loulo Randgold Morila Anglogold, Randgold Obuasi Anglogold Ashanti Sadiola Anglogold, IAMGOLD Siguiri Anglogold Syama Randgold Tarkwa Goldfields Much remains underexplored. These reserve and/or combined production and remaining reserve numbers are taken from various government and industry sources and reflect general deposit grades in the Birimian Greenstone Belt. There are currently no mineral reserves or resources associated with any of the IXI properties. www.indigoexploration.com TSX.V : IXI 6
