Algeria is the second largest country in Africa (by area) with a population of 30 million. During 2000, Algeria embarked on a new series of reforms to open up the private sector and provide a supportive and transparent environment to encourage foreign investment. A new mining law was promulgated and a new privatisation act signified the intent of the Algerian government to attract foreign entrepreneurship into the domestic mining sector and exploit its potential. A key part of the new mining law was the rescinding of the 49 per cent. limit on the level of foreign participation when entering into a formal association with an Algerian state enterprise to exploit strategic deposits such as gold.GMA was incorporated in Australia on 17 May 2002 for the purpose of participating in a tendering process for the acquisition of a 52 per cent. interest in an Algerian based company, ENOR, the beneficiary of the Tirek-Amesmessa gold project in the Sahara of southern Algeria. Following an international tender launched by ENOR for the development and operation of the Tirek-Amesmessa permit (the "Tender"), GMA was chosen as the successful bidder.ENOR is a société par actions (limited company) incorporated under Algerian law. The major shareholders are the state owned oil company Sonatrach (34 per cent.), Banque d'Algérie (34 per cent.), Société Algérienne d'Assurance (18 per cent.) and Enterprise Nationale des Produits Non-Ferreux et Des Substances Utiles (10 per cent.).ENOR currently holds an exploitation permit dated 21 October 1992 granted by the Algerian Ministry of Energy and Mines for a period of 20 years (from 10 February 1993) over an area of approximately 1400 km2 containing the Tirek gold mine, the Amesmessa gold deposit and various other prospects and mineralised occurrences within the property known as the ZITA or intermediate zone between Tirek and Amesmessa. The exploitation permit area is located approximately 400 km south west of the city of Tamanrasset in the Hoggar region of Southern Algeria. The Tirek-Amesmessa goldfield was discovered by the Algerian government agency ORGM in the 1970s. Following prospecting and sampling exploration programs in the permit area in the late 1980's and early 1990's by ORGM, ENOR was formed for the purpose of developing and bringing the Tirek and Amesmessa gold deposits into production. Following legislative reforms in Algeria, including the passing of the new mining law and privatisation act in 2001, GMA won the Tender and subsequently entered into the Subscription Agreement.

Loncor Resources Inc. is a gold and platinum exploration company focused on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Through its wholly-owned subsidiary Loncor Congo, the Company owns or controls 55 exploration permits in North Kivu province, covering 17,760 square kilometers and located west of the city of Butembo. The Company also has exclusive gold rights to an area covering 4,550 square kilometres located along the Ngayu Archaean greenstone belt in Orientale province. In addition, Loncor holds two exploration permits in Bas Congo province, approximately 250 kilometres southwest of the capital city of Kinshasa.The Company's leading prospect in North Kivu is Manguredjipa. It is estimated that between 1925 and 1960, approximately 300,000 oz of alluvial gold was produced in the Manguredjipa area from various tributaries of the Lenda drainage system. These alluvial targets eventually led to the discovery of numerous primary gold deposits in the Manguredjipa area. Other gold prospects warranting follow up in North Kivu include Lutunguru, Lubero, Makwasu, Lutela, Bilolo, Manzia, Mohanga and Lundjulu.Loncor also has exclusive gold rights over 4,550 square kilometres in the Ngayu area, which has historical gold production. The Ngayu project is located in Orientale Province of northeast DRC, 270 kilometres northeast of Kisangani. The project covers most of the Ngayu Archaean greenstone belt. A number of gold occurrences are found within the Ngayu greenstone belt, one of the two most significant described in the literature being the Yindi gold occurrence, which occurs within permits where Loncor has the gold rights.Loncor's third project area, Bas Congo, was the target of small scale regional prospecting during the 1930s to 1950s. This was done by excavating small pits across the flood plain of the local drainages in the area. This work recovered over 40,000 oz of gold, mostly within these alluvial gravels.Loncor initiated an exploration program at Manguredjipa in August 2009 and at the Yindi prospect in Ngayu March 2010. The Company also conducted initial exploration at Bas Congo in 2009.
