Mayfox Mining Company Limited is an indige-nous Kenyan owned mineral exploration company which began operations in 2012. The company has since been exploring for gold and other precious minerals in Turkana County, Republic of Kenya. The company initially began with a reconnais-sance license approximately 22,000 sq. km (under Gazette Notice no. 529) which was subsequently converted to Special Prospecting License under the registration SPL 281; this was divided into SPL 281 A and SPL 281 B (3,500sq. km and 2,400sq. km respectively). Through both geochemical and geophysical studies, in 2014, SPL 281 A and B were further reduced to approximately 1,639 sq. km and 451 sq. km respectively, as part of Mayfox Mining’s relinquishment program. Late in the year 2015, SPL 281 B was 100% relinquished back to the government of Kenya upon receiving unsatis-factory results from the extensive exploration pro-gram undertaken. In the same year Mayfox Mining acquired SPL 221, of approximately 135 sq. km,

referred to as the Nakalale Goldfields.

To date, Mayfox Mining has carried out a successful and detailed airborne magnetic, radiometric and digital terrain survey with a total line coverage of over 11,390km. This was done using Geotech Air-borne Survey, Australia. Via this highly successful airborne survey, coupled with highly skilled geo-chemical work, Mayfox Mining Company Limited has identified 19 target areas of gold mineraliza-tion and other precious metals. The target areas geology discovered compares to the Niassa Gold Belt in Mozambique, which hosts estimated re-serves of 4-5 million oz. of gold.

The next phase of exploration encompasses phased drilling of over 1000m within the SPL 221 area. This shall facilitate exploration towards at-taining a JORC Mineral Reserve that will take them into commercial mining.

Our PhilosophyThe 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

The integration between local investments and international financial markets.

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.

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-

tal initiatives suggest. At Mayfox 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.

Our LicenceOperating under Special Prospecting License (SPL) 281, Mayfox Mining has been carrying out explora-tion both via land and airborne surveys covering vast areas within Turkana County. As a result of mineral target identification, Mayfox Mining cur-rently implemented a reduction of the license from the original 5,900 sq. km to 1,639 sq. km precise-ly. The licensed area initially covered two blocks: Block A (West) and Block B (East), of which Block

B (East) was relinquished later in 2015.

The former consisted of 14 target areas of gold mineralization and other precious metals; geolog-ical similarities discovered compare the site to the Niassa Gold Belt in Mozambique, which hosts esti-mated reserves of 4-5 million oz. of gold.

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)

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).

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.

Nakalale GoldfieldsThis 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.
