5.0 Recent Exploration Activities:

Referring to the Geological report of the Geologist, the present Geologic Resource of XYZ mine is about
1.5 Million tons at a grade of 3.04 g/t-Gold and 19.96 g/t-Silver (Table 1). Our interpretation or
projection as to Mineable Resource (Projected to be mined or extracted) is about 446,592 tons at a
grade of 5.13 g/t-Gold and 31.14 g/t-Silver (Table 2). The Mineable resource are categorized into Low
grade source of about 120,000 tons at a grade of 1.84 g/t-Au; 14.50 g/t-Ag and the High grade source of
about 326,592 tons at a grade of 6.34 g/t-Au; 37.24 g/t-Ag, the former could be mined for heap leaching
process and the latter for the conventional method. Abandoned Tunnels 3 and 4 are included in the
projected high grade Zone.

The High grade Zone or Block of Mineable resource of 326,592 tons using interpolation started from
Trench no. 1 at elevation 220 m. up to Trench no. 4 at elevation 300 m. with a strike length of 400
meters. The 400 m. strike length was projected downward until elevation 160 m. where abandoned
Tunnel no. 1 is situated.
The Average Grade of the block of 6.34 g/t-Au; 37.24 g/t-Ag, were derived from the surface and from
Tunnels 3 and 4 samples. The Block grades were projections and will be confirmed once the Tunnels are
rehabilitated and sampled.

 I. EXPLORATORY MINING Summary

The XYZ Mineral Deposit which is located in Barangay Cancahorao, Municipality of Baleno, Province of
Masbate, Masbate Island, Philippines is considered a widely mineralized area and identified as a major deposit
of gold and silver and reasonable copper. It has been explored by several known mining and geological
institutions such as the Atlas Consolidated Mining Development Co. (ACMDC), a local mining company
that operates the Masbate Gold Operations in Aroroy, Masbate during the 80’s and 90’s whose mining site
is further north of the claim area and by the RP-JICA, a joint Philippine-Japan Geological Institution
which indicated the area to be highly altered and well mineralized and presence of precious metals such
as gold, silver, copper including titanium is noticeably abound. The area was known to have been mined
by “coyote” or rough method during the pre-war time as evidenced by a number of working tunnels
uncovered in the area and past historical data gathered from local residents.

Pearl Asian Mining Industries, Inc (PEARL) a wholly owned Filipino mining company became interested
of the mining area in year 2004 and filed a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) application
covering an area of 72 hectares on the XYZ Mineral Deposit whose application is now nearing approval
by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Mines and Geosciences Bureau (DENR-MGB). A
Small Scale Mining Permit issued by the Provincial government covering 20 hectares inside the 72 hectares
application was granted for the purpose of assuring the hold of the company, to initially start geological
investigation and to be able to start a modest operation until such time that the MPSA is granted. Two
Exploration Permit applications (EPA) at the north-northeast of the same mineral area were also applied
thus increasing the tenement portfolio of the company at 2,000 hectares. PEARL Asian Mining conducted
two field geological investigations over the 20 hectares area of the MPSA application and a total of 123
samples at surface and outcrops were collected. During the conduct of the exploration, 4 tunnels were found
which were partly inspected while 5 old trenches were also uncovered. From the surface and outcrop
samples collected a grade up to 94 grams gold per ton of ore and up to 608 grams silver per ton of ore
were analyzed. These interesting results have encouraged the company to the point that a second
exploration program was made.
Two more tunnels and six more old trenches were found. These geological activities include only a semi-
detailed geologic mapping, topographic mapping, trenching and channel sampling and plan has been
programmed to rehabilitate and explore the uncovered tunnels whose entrance is difficult to access due to
collapsed portals. A more detailed Geological Report can be made available for reference.

From these geological findings, a resource/reserve estimate was calculated and finally a more realistic data
was obtained using polygon approach and with several considerations taken hence defining the estimate on
the basis of three (3) categories, measured, indicated and inferred (see attached table 1).

The resource estimate was further refined and a mineable reserve was produced using geologic reserve
interpellation. The first mining plan that was envisaged was the inception of a small-scale operation between
50 to 100 tpd of gold ore using a conventional cyanidation process from a mineable resource of 327,000
tonnes (measured + indicated resource) grading at 6.34 gpt Au and 37.24 gpt Ag. Mining method applicable
would be a combination of selective open cast/trenching method and sub-level caving method. This gave a
Capital requirement of $300 million dollars using second hand equipments. This project is quite robust,
economically viable and showed interesting return of investment with a Net Income after tax of $2.5 million
after the three years of operations. The Philosophy of the company is to commence mining whatever viable
reserve is available and continue with exploration which would be financed internally to increase the resource
since the potential of the area is overwhelming.

The project can be implemented over a 5 months period of construction and development upon firm
availability of Capital.
 II. General Company Description

PEARL Asian Mining Industries, Inc. (PEARL) is a mining company engaged in exploration, development,
mining, processing, property acquisition, marketing of products, beneficiation of small-scale mining
operations and revitalization of old and abandoned mining properties into profit generating business in
collaboration with the Philippine Government.

PEARL Asian’s vision and mission for the development of the mining industry is to partner with the
Philippine Government in order to acquire abandoned mines with known and proven reserves left for
centuries. Similarly, develop an environmentally friendly and sustainable operation adopting the best mining
practice projecting low Capital Cost projects yet income generating Business Company with optimization in
the extraction of valuable minerals while at the same time aiming to provide community upliftment by
strengthening local governance and enhancement of the living standards of the employee and community as a
whole into sustainable economic growth.

The Small Scale Mining Project would be a catalyst into providing initial investment for the development of
the main mining operations and serve as the engine for growth in the establishment of the community
social services in support to the 10 point legacy program of the GMA government. Several livelihood projects
have been envisioned more particularly once the Main Project proceeds and this would include as
follows:

1. Livestock/Goat Raising Project

2. Fresh Water Fish Culture using ponds.
3. Reforestation/USUFRUC Projects
4. Cooperative Development Projects
5. Upland Farming introducing SALT technology propagating high value crops
6. Revolutionizing of an Agri-Farm projects.
7. Development of cottage industry
8. Development of mining supplies such as Activated Carbon, Lime & Material for erosion control
using local material sources.
9. Training development programs

If financing deals is somehow perfected, this becomes the first PEARL Asian Mining Large Scale Gold
Mining Company to be engaged on the extraction and production of precious metals, gold and silver
with bullion bars as the finished product. The ex-plant product that will be shipped to refineries will have a
purity of 60 % Au and 36 % Ag. The high demands for metals particularly with the continuing economic
boom in China and India as well as the open policy of GMA government following the revitalization of
mining in the
Philippines would remain this business highly active and attractive for investment. This could then bolster the
price of precious minerals which perceive to have continued at unprecedented level. In the other hand, the
indication of healthy deposit of gold and silver minerals in the area makes the project attractive to mining
companies both local and foreign. The company’s tenement application of 2,000 hectares in the Masbate
Island with notably known world class deposits of gold and silver provides big opportunity for ZNXT /
PEARL Asian to undertake field exploration that could generate meaningful results and likely increase the
company’s mineral reserve potential.

The company has engaged the services of seasoned mining experts and several support professionals who
have good experience in the business and implementation of mining operations internationally.
 III. Operational Plan

The strategy of the company is to first mine and process the ores under lying within the surface zones in
the XYZ mineral deposit using the Small Scale Mining Permit for the 20 hectares while pursuing further
exploration program of the 72 hectares area of the MPSA. This entail rehabilitation of the tunnels for the
purpose of determining the extent of mineralization at depth as well as raise confidence level of inferred
resource into measured and indicated category. This small project which could likely generate PEARL a net
income of $2.5 million before Tax can also be utilized as starter money in the development of the main
project. Whilst at the same time, also allows PEARL an ample time to continue with the sourcing of financing
for the main project.

Mining & Crushing

The known near surface good resource of 327,000 tons which contains 6.34 gpt Au and 37.24 gpt Ag can
be mined using a 0.7 m3 excavator and a rock breaker unit. Several vein systems were uncovered during the
two exploration activities in December 2004 and April 2005 notably the Gil and Andrew veins that
intersect laterally between east to west direction. These vein mineral deposits are noticeable at surface and
projects at depth at an angle of 80 degrees and varies in width between 1 to 5 meters. The near surface
vein system will be sampled and coordinates recorded. Trenching according to the width of the vein
following the lateral direction can be developed. Mined ore will be trammed using a 10 tonne dump truck
units to the crushing facility. The material will be crushed down to ½” sizes. Mining or trenching operations
will be contracted to a local mining and construction companies. Operations will be 8 to 10 hours daily.
 IV. Management and Organization

Site operations will be supervised by an expert professional Metallurgist or a Mining Engineer backed by two
Manila Executives who visits site on a twice monthly basis.

There will be a total of 35 project employees including 5 agency hired security guards. Administration will be
manned by a bookkeeper and warehouse clerk together with a service driver, a cook and a helper. At the same
time, 2 maintenance personnel provide maintenance support to operations. Similarly, an Environmental
technician will be hired to monitor the environmental protection facility installed in the area.

Philippines and in particular the Bicol and Masbate regions is known for its mining business industry in
the late 80’s producing virtually highly skilled workers and professional engineers. Personnel at this level are
almost everywhere in the country and can be readily available. As at present, only very limited mining
companies are in operations where a number of expert and experienced mining personnel are still seeking for
the lost jobs.

The site organization will be composed of the following:

1. Site Supervisor - responsible in the supervision of the entire operations both the Mining &
Crushing/Agglomeration and the continuous 24 hour Heap Leach Operations.

2. Bookkeeper – responsible in the administration and recording of accounts and the payroll of
personnel. Reports directly to the Site Supervisor and indirectly responsible to the Accounts Manager
stationed in Manila.

3. Warehouse Clerk – in charge in the administration of the small material supplies of the project.
Reporting directly to the Bookkeeper and indirectly to the Materials and Contracts Manager stationed
in Manila Head Office for the supplies movement and stock inventory of the needed supplies and
material of the project.

4. Security Officer – responsible of the project security administration and operations. Reporting
directly to the Site Supervisor.

5. Community Relations Officer – responsible of the social and community aspect. Reporting directly
to the Site supervisor and indirectly to VP on Community Relations.
