About Mundoro Mining Inc.
Mundoro MIning is a resource company focused on the exploration and
development of one of the world's top gold deposits, the Maoling Gold
Project. Mundoro Mining has a 79% interest in Maoling through a
Sino-Foreign co-operative joint venture with the corporate arm of the
Liaoning provincial government which owns 21% interest. Maoling is a
feasibility stage gold deposit located in Liaoning Province, China and
is one of China's largest gold resource deposits with 4.8 million
contained gold ounces in the Measured and Indicated category and an
additional 4.4 million contained gold ounces in the Inferred category.
Mundoro Mining has outlined a Reserve of 2.8 million ounces in the
Probable category which was the basis for the Pre-Feasibility Study.
Thus far, two deposits that outcrop at surface have been outlined at
Maoling in which disseminated, free-milling gold mineralization occurs
within a sequence of metasedimentary rocks. The renewal of the
exploration license for Maoling has been deferred pending the renewal
of a business license for Mundoro Mining's joint venture company,
Liaoning Tianli Mining Company Ltd. Mundoro Mining and its partner,
Liaoning Aidi Resources Company Limited, have undertaken a strategy of
engagement and building awareness with a wide range of government
agencies in order to resolve the issue.
Investors are encouraged to review 'Risk Factors' associated with the
Maoling project as outlined in the Company's prospectus documents and
other regulatory filings, available on the SEDAR website at
www.sedar.com.
The pre-feasibility described herein was prepared to broadly quantify
the Maoling Zone 1 deposit's capital and operating cost parameters, and
to further the development of the project. It was not prepared for use
as a valuation of the deposits, nor should it be considered to be a
final feasibility study. The information contained in the Study
reflects various technical and economic conditions at the time of
writing that can change significantly over relatively short periods of
time. There can be no assurance that the potential results contained in
the Study will be realized. The study was prepared by AMEC Americas
Ltd. under the direction and oversight of Mr. Mark Pearson P.Eng. of
Vancouver, BC, an 'Independent Qualified Person' as defined by National
Instrument 43-101. Resource estimation for the Zone 1 area in 2006 was
carried out in the Brisbane, Australia office of Golder Associates Pty
Limited, an international earth sciences consulting group under the
direction and oversight of Dr. Andrew Richmond, MAusIMM, an
'Independent Qualified Person' as defined by NI43-101. NI43-101
compliant technical reports for the pre-feasibility study and all
reserve and resource estimates have been filed on the SEDAR website at
www.sedar.com.
