Edgewater edw gold projects overview final
- 1. EXPLORATION LTD. SHARE STRUCTURE DIRECTORS & MANAGEMENT TSX-V: www.edgewaterx.com | September 2013 Edgewater’s primary focus is the 100% owned Corcoesto Gold Project, located in Galicia, Spain. Corcoesto is the most advanced asset in the Company’s development pipeline representing the potential to be Galicia’s next open pit gold mine. The Corcoesto Gold Project is an advanced stage gold project with a feasi- bility study currently underway. Edgewater has recently announced; an updated NI 43-101 resource estimate outlining +1 Million ounces of gold (Aug. 2013), received approval on the Environmental Impact Assessment (Jan. 2013) and has a Preliminary Economic Assessment completed (Nov. 2011). 2013 has been and continues to be a significant year of de-risking and development on Corcoesto. Early 2013 the Ministry of Environment from Galicia Spain approved the Environmental Impact Assessment (a major permitting milestone) for the proposed open pit Corcoesto Gold Project. The EIA approval represents the final step in the environmental permitting process to advance the Corcoesto Gold Project onto construc- tion. This approval is a significant milestone for Edgewater and its share- holders, taking the Company one step closer to developing a new open pit gold mine in the autonomous region of Galicia. Galicia is an autonomous region within Spain and therefore permitting is assessed at the state and municipal levels. dgewater Exploration is a Canadian-based mineral development and exploration company with advanced stage gold assets in Galicia, Spain and Ghana, West Africa.

Excellent location, conceptual site layout with approved EIA | Project Highlights *Preliminary Economic Assessment NI43-101 includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic consider- ations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized. The Corcoesto Gold Project PEA Technical Report dated Dec 30, 2011 was prepared by Alan Noble, P.E., of Ore Reserves Engineering Inc., a professional independent mining engineer registered in the State of Colorado, USA and a QP as defined by National Instrument 43-101 TSX-V : OTCQX: EDWZF Enchi Gold Project (Joint Venture with Kinross) Corcoesto Resource Estimate (Aug. 2013)** Enchi Mineral Resource Summary*** Ryan King, Vice President ***The Enchi Resource Estimate dated July 12, 2012 was prepared by Todd McCracken, P.Geo. of Tetra Tech., who is independent of Edgewater and a QP as defined by National Instrument 43-101. CIM definition standards were followed for the resource estimate. The 2012 resource models used ordinary kriging (OK) grade estimation within a three-dimensional block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids. A capping of gold grades at 18 g/t and a density of 2.45 g/cm3 was applied. Edgewater and Kinross Gold have a definitive joint venture on the Enchi Gold Project in Ghana, West Africa. Enchi is located 70 km southwest of Kinross Gold’s Chirano Gold Mine and 120 km south- west of the Bibiani Gold Mine (+2 million ozs).Enchi and both of the multi-million ounce mines follow along the prolific Bibiani fault. Enchi stretches over a 40 km strike length of the Bibiani fault with the total land package covering over 560 square kms. In May 2012 Edgewater announced an initial inferred resource estimate of 749,000 ounces of gold grading 1.13 g/t using a 0.70g/t gold cut-off.
