Overview                             The directors and shareholders of the Borrower have over a decade of experience in the business of gold production,
                                                    mining, and re ning. The Borrower has assets of more than €800,000,000 and has no existing bank borrowings or debt.
             and Mission

                                                    The Borrower intends to take advantage of the attractive corporate structures in Ireland and to focus on the current
                                                    buoyant international market for gold and other precious metals and thereby further increase the assets of the Borrower,
                                                    thereby providing an attractive investment return to its clients.

                                                    In that regard, the objective of the Borrower is to develop exploration and investment in gold products including mining,
                                                    re nery, and operation and to focus on the development of the gold business and mining opportunities.

                                                    There are currently several worldwide investment opportunities being researched by the management team of the
                                                    Borrower and at least one of these is at contract stage which will guarantee gold production of at least 1,000 kg per
                                                    month.

Business Sector
 Status & Market
     Opportunity

                                               •   Demand for gold has increased steadily during the last decade. Due to supply side shortages, prices have increased 400% over the same period.
                                               •   Demand for gold is forecast to continue to grow strongly for some years to come, fuelled by safe-haven investment and value storing
                                                   strategies plus the need by now rapidly advancing high-tech industrial processes, including: biomedical, thermal, electrical conductivity, and
                                                   space based (anti corrosive) equipment.
                                               •   Improvements in the supply of gold in order to meet the future demand curve is becoming evident but, this masks some signi cant
                                                   changes in the structure and sourcing of production and in the economics of mining.
                                               •   A strategy to solve today’s challenge to the economics of mining and to optimise pro tability in the supply chain now involves the
                                                   application of niche sourcing arrangements and considerable market and value-added expertise. Close strategic partnerships between
                                                   mines, dependable intermediaries, value added service providers (re ning, assaying etc.) and market makers, is essential.
                                               • Competing mining entities will increasingly need to lock in speci c price/volume commitments to underpin new exploration costs and debt
                                                   servicing. Access to lowest cost production will be a dominant factor in the future economics of mining.
                                               •   The lucrative non-gold market sector consisting of platinum group metals ("PGM"), silver, and rare earth is set to rapidly expand over the
                                                   next 5 years on the back of increased roll out of clean energy technologies, hydrogen fuel cells and revolutionary battery systems. It is
                                                   anticipated that PGM will increase by 30 fold.

Business Model                                • Astute negotiating of spot and forward purchasing agreements for ore/dor with partner mining entities, is a

               2021 2025                        key to success. The Borrower can achieve this via its demonstrable track record of its management team.

                                               • Buy/sale operations in this respect will be managed in such a way as to realise a gross margin on re nery exit
                                                of at least between 8% and 10%.

                                               • The Borrower has several worldwide gold sourcing opportunities which are being advanced by its management
                                                team with at least one at contract stage. This one medium term contract alone will all but guarantee gold
                                                production and supply of at least 1000 kg per month and thus substantially underpin the Borrower's revenue
                                                forecasts. All of the Borrower's revenue forecasts are conservatively predicted at 2021 gold pricing levels.

                                               • Develop complimentary operating strategies to capitalise on surging demand and supply opportunities.

                                               • Maintain low risk, cash optimised, commercial engagements.

                                               • The purchasing and transporting via high-security carriers such as Brinks and Ferrari of raw gold to a
                                                designated re nery of the Borrower, such as Argor-Heraeus, and the sale of bullion which complies only with
                                                GLD standard via wholesale gold bullion markets.

Business Risk                            • In support of its obligations under the Loan Agreement with the Issuer, the Borrower has granted a rst xed
                                               charge and rst priority security interest over the secured assets in favour of the Issuer. The current valuation of
      Assessment &
                                               the Secured Assets is in excess of US$ 1 Billion, which has been veri ed by Bank Santander.
         Mitigation
                                               • The Borrower has also granted a oating charge over all of its assets and undertakings which will include Dor ,
                                               gold and other precious metals. Accordingly, the risk of a default by the Borrower in meeting its loan principal
                                               obligation to the Issuer is exceedingly low.
