Company Statement

Moto Goldmines Limited (MGL) is an Australian-based gold exploration and development company developing the world-class Moto Gold Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo in central Africa.

MGL is listed on the TSX, ASX, AIM and several of the German Stock Exchanges.
MGL's objectives are to:
- maximise shareholder value through the discovery and development of substantial, high grade gold deposits in Central Africa.
- operate at all times with a high social, environmental and ethical awareness.


Current Operations

The Moto Gold Project is located in the Moto goldfields in the north east of the DRC, some 560 kms north east of the city of Kisangani and 150 kms west of the Ugandan border town of Arua. The Project covers an area of approximately 5,000 sq kms.

The Moto goldfields are located primarily within rocks of the Moto greenstone belt, which consists of Archaean rocks of the Lower Kibalian System. The Moto greenstone belt is bounded to the north by the Archaean West Nile Gneiss complex and to the south by the (younger) Upper Zaire granitic complex.

The Moto greenstone belt has a history of gold production. Three of the deposits in the area, Gorumbwa, Agbarabo and Durba, which were exploited primarily in the 1950s and 1960s by the Belgians, have produced more than 60% of the +3 million ounces of recorded production from the Moto area. Most of the remainder of production has come from placer, alluvial and small oxide-zone workings. Many of the past-producing high-grade gold mines in the Moto greenstone belt fall within a 7km by 5km area near the towns of Doko and Durba.

At present the Moto goldfields remain relatively unexplored by today’s standards. Following the departure of the Belgians in the 1960s, the State owned mining company, OKIMO, undertook limited mining activity, and between 1996 and 1998 Barrick and Anglogold completed a limited exploration programme.

To date Moto has identified a number of unexploited deposits and a large number of untested and poorly explained gold occurrences remain to be systematically explored using modern techniques. Moto has to date focused its exploration activities on the central area of approximately 35 sq kms although a regional programme has commenced.
