C.  Summary of the technical aspects of the deposits proposed to the partnership:

Geographical location:

The perimeter of the mining license is 430 km southwest of the city of Tamanrasset - Algeria.

Concession

The perimeter of the mining permit covers 140 300 hectares.

Geology:

The perimeter of the ENOR mining permit is located in the Western Hoggar. It spreads along the East-Ouzzalian submeridian shear zone (2°30’). This zone with a width of 2 to 3 km and extending over more than 200 km, is the main structural element that controls

the emplacement and hosts the gold mineralization of the entire region. It is represented by a zone of mylonites injected with small masses of gabbro.

Amesmessa Deposit:

The central part of the deposit is represented by a zone of mylonites and ultramylonites, injected by numerous veins of lenticular quartz, staggered in the N-S direction. The dip is sub-vertical (60°-85°) to the west.

It includes several vein zones (ZF) of auriferous quartz, 18 of which have been studied by trenches and 10 by core drilling. The central sector (ZF 7; 8; 9; 10 and 11) of the deposit contains more than 70% of the known geological resources.

ZF 9 is the most important. Gold mineralization was intersected at a depth of -440 m, with a grade of 34.7 g/t gold for a thickness of 1.13 m.

The length of the veins reaches a few hundred meters. The thickness of the veins varies from 0.2-0.5m to 1m rarely more. Gold grades in quartz range from 0.1 gram/tonne to >200 g/t, averaging 10-20 g/t.

2.2 Tirek deposit:

This deposit has three vein fields: A, B and C. It contains dozens of quartz veins, 16 of which could be of economic interest.

Field B, containing the most important veins (F II, III, XIV and XV). The direction for certain veins is submeridian (0 to 15°), with a subvertical dip (75°-90°) towards the West; for others the direction is 30°-45° NE, with a dip of 45°-70° towards the NW. The thickness of the veins varies from 0.4-0.8 to more than 1 m.

MINERAL RESOURCES:

The mineral resources of the main veins of the Amesmessa (veins 9&8) and Tirek (veins II; III; XIV and XV) deposits were calculated and classified in 2005 according to the Australian JORC code. The remaining resources as of December 31, 2018 are as follows:

We inform that the MANAL Group has bankable technical and economic feasibility studies (BFS).
