INTRODUCTION

Mano River Resources Inc. is a well-funded exploration company focused on the discovery of gold and diamond deposits in the Archaean terrain of the highly prospective, under-explored, West African Mano River Union (MRU) countries of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. Mano considers the region has the potential to develop into a world class gold and diamond-mining province. The Company now has over 25,000 sq.km under licence, close to one million ounces of gold in resource, a cluster of diamondiferous kimberlite pipes and joint ventures in place with Golden Star, BHP Billiton and Trans Hex Group which, if they are all fully exercised, will involved a total of over US$11m in third party expenditure. With increasing market recognition of the recent positive evolution in the regional politics, Mano is starting to capitalize on its position as the pre-eminent gold and diamond explorer in the sub-region.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

PROJECTS IN HAND

(1) Sierra Leone, Gold Project

The basis of Mano's gold project in the Mano River Union region was the recognition that Western Liberia, together with a large part of Sierra Leone and eastern Guinea, is underlain by a classic Archaean granite-schist (greenstone) belt terrain containing extensive schist belts. In particular, geological parallels were drawn with the Lake Victoria Goldfields of Tanzania where, from modest beginnings at the beginning of the decade, exploration during the 90s of similar Archaean terrain has yielded a number of world class discoveries, such that today something of the order of 40 million ounces of mineable gold are being developed by a range of companies.

On the 25th November 2003 Mano announced the signing of a Letter of Agreement with Golden Star Resources Ltd. (GSR) for a Joint Venture on the gold licences held by Mano in Sierra Leone. The Joint Venture requires staged expenditure of $6m over four years by GSR in order to earn an initial 51% interest in the properties. Mano retains the option to co-fund through to production to maintain its 49% interest in the properties.

Mano River Resources Inc. has three gold licences. They are Pampana (EPL 6/96), Sonfon (EPL 5/96) and Nimini (EPL 15/96) respectively.

Sonfon licences considered to be the most significant and highest potential gold structure in Sierra Leone. In May 2002, Mano announced the signature of a Heads of Agreement with Golden Prospect Plc (AIM:GOL) to jointly explore contiguous EPLs at Lake Sonfon in the Sula Mountains greenstone gold belt. Phase-1 has identified the 'YDS' zone, a 3 km by 0.3 km wide gold anomaly co-incident with extensive artisanal gold workings and in association with a gold-bearing stockwork vein system. Trenches across the zone have assayed up to 7.3 m @ 7.4 g/t. Sampling has also confirmed previous work including a grad sample of 77 oz/t.

(2) Liberia, Gold Project

Four gold prospects, King George Larjor (KGL), Weaju, Gondoja and Vaney Camp were identified and prioritized followed a countrywide reconnaissance exploration programme carried out during the 1997-98 field season.

In July 2000, independent consultants ACA Howe International Limited estimated combined geological resources at KGL and Weaju as 768,000 contained ounces of gold at 6.9 g/t.

(3) Missamana and Gueliban Permits, Guinea, Gold Project

The main area of interest within the two permits, as defined by tectonic analysis, airborne geophysics and the known position of artisanal workings, is an east-south-east trending gold belt stretching from the Brouni prospect, through Missamana and into the Gueliban Permit. All the important target areas lies within this zone, or exist on related structures, which branch out from this zone. The exploration programme has now defined six high priority prospect areas. These are at Missamana, Brouni and East Kerkour in the Missamana permit, and Madou, Diamona and Gueliban East in the Gueliban permit.

Detailed evaluation work of the Missamana prospect in parallel with the regional programme culminated in a 4,000 metre programme of preliminary exploratory reverse circulation drilling. On the main mineralize zone, every trench and drill hole intersection was positive. Gold assays include intersections of 7.24 m @ 2.90 g/t, 11 m @ 2.08 g/t, 28 m @ 2.2 g/t and 6 m @ 3.02 g/t. Additionally, every single sample beneath the zone of oxidation contained significant sulphide mineralisation. The mineralisation is hosted by a composite porphyritic granodiorite, within a country rock of schists and quartzites.

(4) Sierra Leone, Diamond Project

Mano River Resources Inc. has been awarded a large (9,700 sq.km) exclusive reconnaissance licence (Yengema EPL and Njaiama EPL) area in Sierra Leone, which is highly prospective for diamondiferous kimberlite occurrences. A major programme of exploration will be undertaken across this licence to include an airborne geophysical survey and surface geochemical programmes.

The Company will be continuing to further explore the economic potential of the swarm of diamondiferous kimberlite dykes which it has within its Kono diamond field licences and which to date have yielded significant grades of up to 94 carats per hundred tons and stone of gem quality in mini-bulk samples taken by Mano to date.

(5) Liberia, Diamond Project

Mano River Resources Inc. has discovered a cluster of diamondiferous kimberlite pipes in its 200 sq.km 'KPO Range' licence area, which is now the subject of a $2m joint venture with the Trans Hex Group of South Africa.
