Company Statement

Kentor Gold Ltd, an Australian publicly-listed company, is a diversified international explorer with gold, geothermal and base metals exploration assets in the Kyrgyz Republic in Central Asia.

The Company’s strategy is to acquire advanced projects which have existing resources that can rapidly be moved into development, construction and operation.

Through their experienced board and Kyrgyz-based, Russian speaking management team, Kentor Gold has developed a strong relationship with the Kyrgyz Government and have secured access to the vast store of technical data from Soviet exploration programs.

Kentor Gold is currently exploring for gold, geothermal and base metals in the Kyrgyz Republic and seeking opportunities to acquire advanced projects through-out Central Asia. The Company’s geothermal exploration program is being conducted in partnership with geothermal energy exploration pioneers, Panax Geothermal Ltd, headed by Dr Bertus de Graaf.

Current Operations

In 2007 Kentor diversified both their asset and geographical focus to include geothermal energy exploration in Kyrgyzstan and uranium exploration in Australia.

The ultimate objective of geothermal energy exploration is for the generation of clean energy for export to China. Analysis of data from the Soviet era and inspection on the ground supports Kentor's view that the Kyrgyz Republic is a very favourable environment for significant amounts of such geothermal energy.

Kentor have been granted five prospecting licences following a review of the possibilities of identifying and developing a Hot Fractured Rock energy source in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Kentor also has an interest in ten uranium exploration licence applications in the Dunmarra Basin in the Northern Territory of Australia.

Kentor will continue to explore for gold in the licence areas around the Kumtor mine while commencing drilling on the more advanced Savoyardy project with the aim of producing a JORC compliant resource estimate as quickly as possible.

Geographical Spread

Kentor Gold Ltd is primarily focused on exploration and development of gold deposits within the Kyrgyz Republic.
