The projects are located in the highly prospective Asmara mineral belt in the southern part of the Arabian Nubian Shield (ANS). A number of significant VMS mineralized systems have recently been discovered along strike and northwest of the projects in the same geological terrain, including Bisha, Debarwa, and Emba Derho. Orogenic gold deposits are also typical of the ANS, including the giant 13 million ounce Sukari deposit in Egypt and the recent discovery of more than one million ounces at Koka-Zara in central Eritrea. With the metallogenic endowment of the ANS, EAM’s Harvest and Adyabo projects constitute a highly prospective land package for the discovery of both VMS and gold deposits. Very little historical exploration has been documented in the Harvest area and the ground has not been subject to recent modern exploration techniques. Much like the last decade for the Eritrean regions to the north where significant discoveries have been made, this region hosts significant discovery potential. EAM’s land package in Ethiopia covers approximately 428 sq km. Included is the 70% owned, 116 sq km Harvest project, host to the Terakimti VMS deposit. The company has an option to earn 80% interest in the 312 sq km Adyabo project immediately west of Harvest. Adyabo hosts the highly prospective 8km long Mato Bula trend, highlighted by high sulphidation gold rich VMS - submarine porphyry-related high grade Au-Cu+/-Zn intercepts in recent drilling at both Mato Bula and Da Tambuk. Exploration to date at the Harvest and Adyabo projects indicates potential for the discovery of large, near surface gold and polymetallic VMS deposits. A total of 132 holes totalling 25,887 metres have been completed on the Terakimti, Adi Angoda, Mayshehagne, Nefasit, Mato Bula, Da Tambuk, Adi Gozomo, and VTEM09 prospects. With the establishment of mineralized VMS systems to depth at Terakimti and Mayshehagne, and high grade gold intercepts from recent drilling at Mato Bula and Da Tambuk, additional drilling is proposed to further define known resources, and explore lateral and depth extension to these deposits and prospects. Additionally, new targets continue to be developed using conventional exploration techniques and modern technologies. ETHIOPIA The Federal Democratic of Ethiopia is located in northeast Africa, in the region termed the Horn of Africa. The country is landlocked and is topographically comprised predominantely of high plateau. The population is diverse in terms of languages spoken and religious following, with a Christian majority coexisting with a one-third Muslim population. New mining regulations were issued in 1993 with the purpose of promoting the exploration and development of Ethiopia’s natural resources. Ethiopia is viewed as a country with underdeveloped hydrocarbon and mineral wealth, and opportunity for future economic development is envisaged as a possible significant driver for the country. TANZANIA Tanzania ranks as one of the best overall risk profiles in Africa. With favourable government policies, stable democratic government, and strong economic growth, Tanzania is one of the fastest-emerging gold producers in the world. In 1997, the development of Tanzania’s Mineral Policy marked a clear shift toward private sector development and market–oriented economic management. Prior to 1994, there was no mechanized mining in the country. Tanzania is now Africa’s third-largest gold producer.

Attractive zinc concentrates are also produced on selected mineralization. HANDENI PROJECT - TANZANIA East Africa Metals’ Magambazi project is located in the emerging Handeni gold district of eastern Tanzania, where the company has established a large land position covering a 15-km trend. The Handeni region was not thought to be prospective for gold until recent academic research and discoveries by local artisanal miners suggested it may represent the extension of the most prospective segment of the Lake Victoria Goldfields.

A mining licence has been acquired over the Magambazi deposit, and a second licence is pending for the surrounding area. In 2009, the discovery hole at Magambazi (hole 001) intersected 59 metres grading 4.28 grams per tonne gold. EAM has drilled more than 110,000 metres in approximately 400 holes over a strike length now defined along nearly one kilometre.
