3. OUR MISSION
& STRATEGY
Our Mission:
! To move quickly to becoming a near term, mid-tier gold
producer by establishing the economics of a low cost, open
pit operation in a mining and environmentally friendly way.*
Our Strategy and Timeline for 2012:
! Q2 2012 – Update existing 43-101 compliant resource
based on the results of the 2011 exploration program.
! Q3 2012 - Deliver a Scoping Study and Economic
Assessment Report to develop a costing model to support
an independent Au mining operation targeting 60k-75,000
ounces per year. (1st Phase development)
! Q2 2012 – Commence work on an Environment Impact
Assessment Report to ensure compliance with all Guyanese
environmental regulations and with global “best practises”.
! Q3 – Q4 2012 – Application for a Mining Permit and Minerals

CURRENT RESOURCE
FROM THE GOLDEN STAR/CAMBIOR/IAMGOLD ERA
! Current drilling results cause Stronghold
management to believe that an additional 300,000
to 500,000 of Inferred ounces can be defined by the
higher density DDH program and that the “step out”
drilling will expand the known deposit zone.* A
certain amount of ounces will be moved to the
Indicated category.*
! In 2009 IAMGOLD took bulk samples of both hard
rock and saprolite from the three known types of
mineralization for mineralogical and metallurgical
testing at SGS Laboratories.
! Recoveries were 92% for Cyanidation of both the
hard rock and the saprolite and >70% using only
2010 Inferred NI 43-101 resource starting from surface.
