Based on recent initial diamond drilling results, Kenai considers there is excellent potential at Sao Chico for delineation of NI 43-101 mineral resources of sufficient tonnage and grade to support a substantial gold project operation. An independent NI 43-101 report was released in 2011 and will be updated early in late 2012.

Agreement

In Brazil, Kenai has entered into a letter agreement (the “Agreement”) with ASX-listed Gold Anomaly Ltd (“GOA”) to acquire GOA’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Gold Aura do Brasil Mineração Ltda (“GOAB”), which holds 100% of the Sao Chico gold project mineral rights. The consideration payable by Kenai includes: a) forgiveness of an existing loan of AUD$3,500,000 due to Kenai from GOA which is part of cash advances made by Kenai for the Sao Chico gold project; b) issuance of 10 million common shares of Kenai following regulatory and related approvals, with such shares subject to a 12 month non-trading hold period; and, c) the issuance of an additional 6 million Kenai common shares when one of several development milestones are achieved for the Sao Chico project such as completion of a bankable feasibility study. Under the terms of the Agreement, Kenai has no other obligations to GOA for royalty, net profit interest or similar payments in the future.

Location

The Tapajós gold region is situated in the south-central part of the vast Amazon Craton, which is divided into two, the Guyana Shield north of the Amazon River and the Brazilian Shield, with its nucleus as the Archaean greenstone-granitoid terrane, south of the Amazon. As shown in the regional geology plan, Sao Chico is in the same geological unit, the intrusive Parauari Suite, as the Tocantinzinho (TZ), Palito and Sao Domingo projects. TZ is a major gold project acquired for CAD$122 million in July 2010 by Eldorado Gold (TSX:ELD, ASX:EAU). In June 2010, ELD acquired 26.8% equity in Serabi Mining plc, the AIM-listed company which owns 100% of the Palito underground mine. From Sao Chico, the TZ project is 54 kilometres north-west and Palito is 23 kilometres east north.

Strategy

Kenai’s objectives in this transaction are to undertake local and regional exploration and development, over the tenement area covering 1,416 hectares, initially targeting one million gold ounces in the 56 hectare core area, the site of extensive prior garimpeiro surface workings. Kenai’s project funding is to generate the necessary data to accelerate a Mining Lease application.
