Notes:

Horizonte Minerals plc is an AIM quoted exploration and development company with a portfolio of gold, silver and base metal projects in producing mineral districts in Brazil and Peru. The Company is focused on creating value by generating and rapidly advancing new exploration projects to joint venture out to the major mining companies, providing mid-term cash flow which is then used to develop the business and pipeline projects.

Horizonte has four strategic partnerships: AngloGold, Troy Resources NL, LGA Mineração e Siderugia Ltda and Barrick Gold Corporation, which the Company is working together with to develop its multi commodity portfolio and explore further development opportunities in Brazil and Peru. 

The Company has two primary projects situated in the Carajas Mineral Province of northern Brazil being advanced towards a resource definition; the 22,556 hectare Lontra nickel project situated in the Araguaia mobile belt and the Tangara gold, which the Company signed a US$2.8 million option agreement to advance the project with Troy Resources in December 2007. Horizonte is also developing in tandem with Barrick Gold Corporation, the 2,147 hectare Pararapa gold property located in the Department of Arequipa, southern Peru.

Additionally, Horizonte has a generative pipeline of early stage projects in development and has established a 50:50 joint venture company with LGA Mineração e Siderugia Ltda to finance new project development and the continued development of the Crixás, Goiás Velho, Sao Felix and the Araguari pipeline projects. Furthermore Horizonte has signed a US$5.3 million three year joint venture in September 2009 with AngloGold to focus on target generation and potential acquisitions of gold projects in Brazil.
