Kenya

In Kenya, Africa West holds 2037 km² of permits, including 66 km² in the immediate area of the former Rosterman Mine (16 km² directly covering the former Rosterman Mine and surrounding areas). The Rosterman Mine, which was worked to a depth of 2000 ft. started production in 1935 with a surface cut producing 2,783 ounces of gold from 2,274 tons (1.2 oz/ton or 42 g/t). Subsequent production until 1952 was 259,142 ounces from 655,000 tons (0.40 oz/ton or 13.6 g/t).

Tanzania

The Nyakagwe Gold Project is located 6km north west of Barrick's Bulyankhulu Gold Mine and contiguous with Lakota Resources' Tembo Project. Africa West Minerals, through their wholly owned subsidiary Gold Rim Exploration Inc. is earning 100% of the Nyakagwe project by bringing the property to the Mining Licence category. The project consists of 46 Primary Mining Licences that have been put together by a local artisanal mining cooperative. A prospecting licence has recently been granted adjacent to and surrounding the Nyakagwe group which will increase the landholdings in an extremely strategic area. A 1400m Aircore and RC drilling program was completed in 2008 that confirmed gold mineralized quartz reefs at depth. Hole NY012 intersected quartz reef from 22m to 26m down the hole and returned 7.03 gAu/t over 4 meters including 17.75 gAu/t over 1 meter.

Liberia

An agreement was signed with Providence Capital in July 2009, whereby Providence may earn up to 60% of the project. Africa West had undertaken extensive regional exploration in Eastern Liberia during recent years resulting in the retention of 250 square kilometres of gold prospective ground in the Kanweaken area. Mineralization located to date consists of both alluvial and eluvial gold. The geological setting is permissive for the location of gold deposits similar to those found in adjacent parts of West Africa, such as those in the Ashanti gold fields of Ghana, or in the Birimian of Guinea, Ivory Coast and Mali. Deposit models for this style of mineralization are typically referred to as greenstone-hosted gold, intrusion related gold or syn-orogenic gold deposits.
