The group acquires and develops assets with economic value and potential for future growth. TMG is the parent company of Camara Diamond & Gold Trading Network (CDGTN), with assets in Guinea, West Africa.

The permits are divided as follows:

•  Gold permits: 76 km2 in the region of Siguiri •  Diamond permits: 280 km2 in the regions of Kerouane and Macenta

CDGTN | INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

CDGTN currently owns two(2) mining assets:

•  Three (3) Licenses for Exploration for Diamond and associated minerals covering a total area of 280 km2 in the regions of Kerouane and Macenta (“Kerouane-macenta Permits”)

•  Five(5) semi-industrial Exploitation licenses for Gold and associated minerals totaling 76 km2 in the region of Siguiri (‘’Siguiri Permits’’)

•  CDGTN is seeking to raise US$ 10M for both licenses to be deployed over 2 years to finance the initial exploration and development of the permits – it is projected that once initial exploratory work is completed (within 14 months) semi-industrial can commence.

•  This approach will allow the property to generate significant cash-flow while further proving its reserves through the reinvestment in exploration activities

•  CDGTN intend to hire SRK ES, one of the world leaders in mining consultants to provide exploration recommendations for the permits, and is in close contact with semi-industrial miners in the region that are available to be deployed to both sites in Kerouane-Macenta and Siguiri.

•  SRK ES, has done a desk report with an aggressive program of exploration.

CDGTN | DEVELOPMENT PLAN : GOLD

The development plan of the mine will consist of three phases. The purpose of this strategy is to gather important geological information, while simultaneously generating cash flow from the exploitation of the property. We expect that US $5MM will finance both initial exploratory activities as well as production activities for the first two years.

Phase 1 (3 Months~US$360K) Phase 2 (4 Months~US$500K) Phase 3 (1 Year – 2 Year ~4.14MM)

•  Execute Phase 1 of exploration program from SRK ES.

•  Source additional data – airborne geophysics, satellite imagery, structural study

•  Geological and regolith mapping, mapping of artisanal workings, stream sediment sampling and rock chip sampling

•  Interpret mineralization styles •  Carry out regional soil

geochemistry •  Collate all data into GIS database

for planning of exploration

•  Plan and undertake trenching program

•  Review results on where to concentrate further exploration

•  Consider ground geophysical surveys to identify target structures

•  Prioritize targets & plan drilling program

•  Sub-contract or partner to analyze initial data and commence semi-industrial mining on the property

•  Commence semi-industrial mining on the property to generate cash-flow based on preliminary exploratory activities

•  Hire company & equipment •  Continue with exploration activities

on the property to prove further reserves and new prospects

•  Draw down on funds is highly contingent upon production prospects and cash flow – the full US$ 5MM may not be used if cash flow is generated from the property

Note: The approximate costs listed above exclude camp, vehicles, supplies and support services. The draw down of the 4.14MM in phase three is highly contingent on how quickly and to what degree gold can be produced via semi-industrial mining. It is also important to note that there is a 2-3 month period between phases, and all work must be done during the dry season.

CDGTN | DEVELOPMENT PLAN: DIAMOND

The purpose of this strategy is to gather important geological information, while simultaneously generating cash flow from the exploitation of the property. We expect that US $5MM will finance both initial exploratory activities as well as production activities for the first two years.

Phase 1 (4 weeks~US$ 65,000) Phase 2 (2 Months~US$ 150,000) Phase 3 (1 Year – 2 Year ~4.14MM)

•  Exploration planning and logistics

•  Target generation fieldwork: Sampling(40-80 samples) and mapping.

•  Data analysis and reporting.

•  Data acquisition and structural study.

•  Exploration planning and logistics.

•  Exploration fieldwork.

•  Data analysis and reporting.
