African Aura's strategy is to be a 'first mover' within highly prospective and under explored geological provinces, in pursuit of the next generation of gold and iron ore mines in emerging sub-Saharan Africa. It is the significant experience of working in Africa and the ability to identify and assess the non-geological risks inherent with investing in emerging countries that distinguishes the Company as a pioneer. Once opportunities have been identified the Company employs satellite borne and geological remote sensing datasets in order to select the highest priority areas to explore. This strategy allows our teams to have the highest chance of discovering those deposits which crop-out at surface. Historically these deposits are discovered fastest, for the lowest exploration cost and are the first to become mines. In addition to our flagship New Liberty Gold and Putu Iron Ore projects, African Aura has assembled a significant portfolio of projects in Liberia and Cameroon with over 20 deposits discovered by our exploration teams to date. These discoveries create a pipeline of opportunities for the Company; being at varying stages of exploration from reconnaissance sampling through to resource definition drilling.

Burnstone Ventures Inc (formerly Pure Diamonds Exploration Inc.), has been actively involved in diamond exploration throughout Canada for over 12 years. As a pioneer in diamond exploration in Alberta to an early participant in the exploration for diamonds in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Burnstone Ventures (formerly Pure Diamonds) has directly been involved in the discovery of over 50 kimberlites, the majority diamondiferous. The Company intends to build upon this long and proud heritage through a series of Joint Ventures with De Beers, also a pioneer and dominant force in the diamond industry. As a result of the Company's ongoing efforts and recently expanded exploration portfolio it's shareholders can expect many more kimberlite discoveries with the goal of ultimately realizing mine development and diamond production.
