WILI-WILI & WILI-WILI WEST PERMITS

The Fandou zone located at the south-western extremity of Wili-Wili, is characterized by a strong gold anomaly measuring 2.8 km by 600 meters. At the center of this anomaly, in the northern section, pits samples returned strong gold grades. This discovery was followed by a drilling program (2007) that has clearly defined a mineralized zone stretching over 1 km from north tosouth. In hole WR-139, an average grade of 4.20 g/t Au was intersected over 22 metres. The hole was stopped in mineralization. Robex wants to capitalize on these results to carry out definition drilling around the area to define a potentially exploitable zone.

The Wili-Wili and Wili-Wili West Permits: Very promising potential

The two Wili-Wili permits represent a prime asset for the company. The permits are contiguous and together cover an area of 270 km2 at the southern edge of the Kedougou-Kenieba window of Western Mali. In 2007, exploration efforts by Robex have exposed the Fandou zone along the North-South boundary between the 2 permits in the southern half of the permits area. Oriented N-S, this strong and pervasive gold in soil anomaly is 2,8km long by 600m wide. Geophysical and geochemical surveying followed by pitting, trenching and drilling (RC) returned significant mineralization over a strike length of 1,0 km. The most significant results were outlined in Trench- 01: 2,3g/t Au over 13 m, and in pits P-4 and P-10 with 5,9g/t Au over 9,0 m and 3,29g/t Au over 9,0 m respectively. The subsequent drilling program completed in early 2007, also returned significant values in almost every holes notably: hole WR140 with 1,35g/t Au over 6,0 m; WR119 with 2,15g/t Au over 5,0 m; WR101 with 1,15g/t over 7,0 m; and the best intersection was obtained in hole WR139 where 4,2g/t Au over 22 m was intersected between the depth of 92 and 114 m. It is believed that WR139 terminated in mineralization.

During February 2008, an additional 14 shallow pits were excavated in the center of the zone, where previous drilling had returned significant values. The best results were outlined in pits P-4 (5,9 g/t Au over 9,0 m) and P-10 (3,23 g/t Au over 9,0 m). Compilation of the data available concluded that mineralization at the Fandou zone was vertical and continuous between the surface and the drilling intersections at depth and recommendations for 2009 are to plan infill drilling to begin resource definition in the center of the zone. To achieve this task, Robex is planning a first 3,000 m RC drilling program estimated at a cost of $250,000 (CAD). No field work was completed on the permits during the second quarter of 2009.
