LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 11, 2008, the Company's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, African Mineral Fields Limited, received notice that a legal action had been instituted against it in Uganda by Kamu Kamu Drilling Experts Limited, a drill contractor used by the Company in Uganda. Kamu Kamu was seeking special damages in the amount of US$306,595, general damages, interest and costs of the action for the alleged breach by African Mineral Fields Limited of a reverse circulation drilling agreement dated April 29, 2008 between Kamu Kamu and African Mineral Fields Limited. On November 11, 2009, African Mineral Fields entered into a settlement agreement with Kamu Kamu under which Kamu Kamu agreed to deliver to African Mineral Fields a full and final release of its claim in exchange for: (1) US$50,000; and (2) the transfer by African Mineral Fields to Kamu Kamu of 10 mineral properties in Uganda representing 1,706 square kilometers. If any of the properties cannot be transferred then African Mineral Fields will pay an additional US$2,000 to Kamu Kamu for each property that cannot be transferred. The mineral properties are in the process of being transferred, and the Company does not foresee any difficulties in transferring all of the properties to Kamu Kamu.
