PROJECT DESCRIPTION
CH Project Northwest Territories
Introduction
GGL Diamond Corp. is a Canadian company with corporate headquarters in Vancouver, BC and a field office in Yellowknife, NT. Formerly called Gerle Gold Ltd., GGL has been involved in mineral exploration in the Northwest Territories since 1992.
The company has conducted an array of diamond exploration programs in the area southwest of Lac de Gras under terms and conditions of Land Use Permit MV2001 C0007 issued by the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board in 2001. This permit expires February 28, 2008.
MV2001 C0007 entitles GGL to conduct mineral exploration on the company's CH project, which contains several properties; Seahorse, BP, Courageous, Starfish, McKay Lake, Winter Lake, Zip, G and Shoe. GGL would like to continue its exploration activities on this project area. The company intends to apply for a renewal of the existing Land Use Permit from the Wek'eezhii Land and Water Board, which would cover activities on all these blocks, with the exception of the Winter Lake and Zip blocks of claims. This project will continue to be referred to as the CH Project. (see attached maps)
The existing Land Use Permit encompasses an area from 64°01'00"N on the southern boundary to 64°41'49"N on the northern boundary and from 110°39'33"W on the eastern boundary to 112°37'01"W on the western boundary.
GGL intends to reduce the overall size of the CH project area by moving the western boundary to 111 °54'54"W.
The remote location of the CH property -- approximately 250 kilometres north of Yellowknife - coupled with typical harsh weather conditions and short summers mean that more field seasons are required to find, understand and prove the existence of kimberlite resources. -2-
The company has incurred costs of approximately $7-million on exploration consisting primarily of sampling, geophysical surveys and data interpretation, all with the objective of identifying kimberlite targets. To date, four kimberlites have been discovered - Rainer, Adams, Shasta, and Bishop - as part of this exploration campaign.
GGL's holdings in the region and a brief history of each property are as follows:
Seahorse: DeBeers, Kennecott, DHK and BHP have all been involved with this ground since it was initially staked in 1991. GGL acquired 25 claims comprising the Seahorse Property between 2000 and 2002 and since then exploration programs have included airborne and ground geophysics surveys, glacial till sampling, soil sampling and diamond drilling. Three kimberlites were discovered in the southeastern portion of the property in 2002.
Courageous: Most of this ground was originally staked by Diamondex (formally Winspear) in 1992. A limited amount of sampling, geophysics and drilling was conducted. GGL staked 18 claims comprising the Courageous Property in 2000 and since then exploration programs have included airborne magnetic/electromagnetic surveys, glacial till sampling, soil sampling, ground geophysics and diamond drilling. To date, 12 potential kimberlite targets have been identified on these claims. Drill testing has confirmed that one of them, the Bishop Kimberlite, is diamondiferous. Located 40 kilometers south of the Ekati Diamond Mine, the Bishop Kimberlite has some of the same characteristics as other diamond pipes.
After the discovery of the Bishop Kimberlite, a second, larger, ground gravity survey was put over the Bishop pipe which showed that the potential exists for a much larger kimberlite.
Starfish: De Beers held this ground from 1991 to 1994. Kennecott restaked the area in 1994 and gradually let claims lapse. GGL acquired 29 claims on the Starfish property from 2000-2003. GGL has conducted glacial till and soil sampling, ground and airborne geophysical surveys, and drilling. To date, no kimberlites have been located.
Shoe: The Shoe property comprises 10,330 acres and is located 27 kilometers southwest of the Ekati Fox kimberlite pipe.
Airborne geophysical tests indicate two targets which are at the head of a kimberlite indicator mineral train and are highly prospective to host a diamondiferous kimberlite. In addition, two other targets, also supported by kimberlite indicator minerals, have been identified on, the same mineral claim. GGL believes there is potential for a cluster of diamondiferous kimberlites on the Shoe property.
GGL DIAMOND CORP. - CH PROJECT DESCRIPTION March, 2008 -3-
The exploration work described above was helicopter supported from Treeline Lodge, a permanent commercial camp located at Matthews Lake.
Proposed Program
In 2008, GGL plans to conduct follow-up work on the results from its previous exploration efforts. The precise timing of subsequent exploration activities has yet to be finalized.
General Description
Further exploration of the CH Project will be conducted from Treeline Lodge, a camp facility operated by Bathurst Inlet Developments Ltd. at Matthews Lake.
Depending on weather and logistics, it is anticipated that the next phase of exploration on the CH Project will begin in the summer of 2008. These activities include till and soil sampling, ground geophysics and further drilling on both the Bishop kimberlite and on the Shoe property.
Ground geophysics requires a control grid to be established involving the placement of wooden pickets at regularly-spaced intervals. The established grid is then traversed by a ground crew with a hand held geophysical instrument, which causes no damage to wildlife or vegetation.
Drilling in this initial phase, which is currently planned for late summer, will utilize one drill (a Boyles 25A or equivalent), testing several targets on the Bishop kimberlite. Although exact collar locations have not been determined at this time it is anticipated that the total amount of drilling will be approximately 1,500 meters.
On the Shoe property, a similar size drill is expected to test another kimberlite target, drilling four holes to a depth of about 150 meters, totaling 600 meters.
There are no plans to drill on the Mackay Lake claims at this time.
Drill target locations will be provided to the WLWB and DIAND inspectors as soon as available.
Drill moves and crew changes are helicopter supported, usually with a Hughes 500D provided by Great Slave Helicopters. All drilling activities are conducted according to standard best practices guidelines for mineral exploration to safeguard both the workers and the environment.
GGL DIAMOND CORP. - CH PROJECT DESCRIPTION March, 2008 A
Fixed wing aircraft will be used to transport personnel and supplies to and from Treeline Lodge.
Phase II of the program, to be conducted subsequent to 2008, will be contingent upon results from the initial efforts. Drill target locations for this second phase of the program will be determined by the results of exploration activities carried out during Phase I and therefore cannot be identified at this time.
The practices of GGL are regulated by the terms of existing land use permits. The camp and drill sites are regularly monitored by federal and territorial inspectors and GGL has consistently maintained an outstanding record of environmental integrity.
Contingency plans for medical, environmental and other safety-related issues are in place.
Personnel requirements for the 2008 phase of the program could include GGL staff (4 geologists, 1 cook) and contractors (1 helicopter pilot, 4 geophysical technicians, 1 drill foreman, 4 drillers) in addition to camp support staff provided by Bathurst Inlet Developments Ltd.
The camp and drill sites amount to only a few hectares of land, and the period of activity ' during any one year is limited, averaging about four months in total.
Fuel Storage
Drums of diesel fuel (operation of drill) and Jet-B fuel (helicopter) will be flown into a gravel airstrip at Matthews Lake and then situated in an orderly manner. Oils, greases and other lubricants required for the drilling operation are stored in a secure manner at drill sites. Spill kits and absorbent pads are present where fuel is transferred. All empty fuel containers are backhauled to Yellowknife on an ongoing basis.
Wildlife
Impacts to wildlife are adequately mitigated with the proper handling and storage of food and food wastes as per recommendations of the relevant government agencies.
GGL Diamond Corp. recognizes that the project occurs within the range of the Bathurst Caribou herd and associated carnivores and will endeavour to ensure that its exploration program does not negatively affect the activities of these animals. The company will continue to ensure that its entire field staff completes a recognized bear-safety training course.

W 1.1 Plan Purpose
The purpose of GGL Diamond Corp.'s Contingency Plan is to provide a plan of action for potential spill events that might occur at its exploration camps or drill sites. The Plan addresses any unintentional releases of petroleum products and other hazardous chemicals. It defines the responsibilities of key response personnel and outlines procedures to be taken to minimize the impact of a spill. The Plan has been prepared to provide to management and field staff the necessary information to deal with a spill. Copies of the Contingency Plan are posted in camp and at the drill site.
1.2 GGL's Policy on Cleanup
It is GGL's policy to comply with all existing laws and regulations for the areas in which the company operates and to ensure protection of the environment in these areas. This Contingency Plan has been developed to comply with the Company's policy statement and to fulfill specific Canadian and Northwest Territories regulatory requirements.
1.3 Facility Description
Personnel involved in exploration activities associated with the CH project will be accommodated at Treeline Lodge, a camp operated by Bathurst Inlet Developments Ltd. (BDL) at Matthews Lake, NWT.
1.4 Petroleum Product Transport and Storage
The petroleum products required for the CH project are transported by fixed-wing aircraft from Yellowknife to a gravel runway at 64°04'N 111 °09'W which is commonly referred to as the Salmita airstrip.
Once the drums of fuel have been delivered they are then relocated to a cached alongside the runway or transported by BDL to the camp, located about 5 kilometers from airstrip. All fuel remains in standard fuel drums, and is stored in designated areas appropriate for the refueling of aircraft, generator, snowmobiles, heating stoves and drills.
All fuel is stored an appropriate distance from the normal high water mark, and the fuel is transferred from the drums to equipment with the aid of electric or manual fuel pumps.
The petroleum storage areas at the camp and drill sites are visually inspected on a daily basis to check for leakage or damage to any of the containers. All leaks are repaired immediately. Fuel seen to be leaking from a damaged container is immediately transferred into an empty drum.
4 1.5 Chemical Use and Storage
Only a few litres of cleaning and maintenance compounds - often referred to as household hazardous materials - will be used on site. The potential environmental impact of spills of these materials is considered relatively insignificant.
2.0 SPILL RISK ASSESSMdEINT
2.1 Petroleum Products and Other Fuels
Potential sources of petroleum product spills could involve the following: • leaking or raptured fuel drums. • fuel transfer operations between storage drums, and mobile equipment including aircraft. This could include broken supply pipes, hoses, and associated valves during fuel transfer operations. n equipment, fixed wing and rotary aircraft, snowmobiles, generators, pumps. Incidents involving leaking or dripping fuels and oils may occur due to malfunctions, impact damage, and lack of regular maintenance, improper storage, or faulty operation. ® propane fuel cylinders may leak at the valves
Regular inspection and maintenance in accordance with recognized and accepted standard practices reduces risks associated with the items noted above.
The potential for spills to occur directly on a watercourse is low at the camp because fuel storage and transfer points are located on land away from watercourses. The risk may be greater at drill sites, particularly if they are located on ice-covered lakes. However, if a spill occurred during the winter on lake ice, it will be contained and cleaned up without contaminating the water beneath the ice.
2.2 Chemicals
Any chemicals brought to the project site in drums or bags will be stored indoors. Spillage may occur from accidental breakage of containers or during handling operations.
Practicing safe handling and storage procedures, ensuring proper training in handling of the products, and conducting regular inspections of stored chemicals will minimize spills from chemicals.

Reporting
The responsibilities of the Camp Manager include the following: ® assume complete authority over the spill scene and personnel involved. • activate the Contingency Plan. o evaluate the initial situation and assesses the magnitude of the spill. • report the spill to the NT N J 24-hour Spill Report Line at (867) 920-8130. Provide information such as location of the spill, direction of motion (if any), type and amount of material spilled, cause of spill, date and time of spill and any perceived threat to human heath or the environment. • develop an overall plan of action. • report to the Exploration Manager and provide recommendations on resource requirements (additional manpower, equipment, material, etc.) to complete the cleanup effort. • depending on the severity of the spill, report to other appropriate authorities.
The responsibilities of the Exploration Manager include the following: • provide liaison with GGL management to keep them informed of cleanup activities. • obtain additional required resources not available on-site for spill response and cleanup. • act as the spokesperson with government agencies as well as the public and the media as appropriate. o ensure that the cause of the spill is properly documented, monitor the effectiveness of the cleanup effort, and oversee the implementation of 6 appropriate measures to prevent a recurrence of the spill. • ensure that follow-up documentation required by appropriate regulators is prepared and submitted. • ensure that the spill is cleaned up and all follow-up communication and reports are filed with the DIAND Yellowknife District office in Yellowknife.

Containment/Cleanup
Spills on Land
Response to spills on land will include the Initial Actions listed in Section 4.0 and the following specific steps: • identify the source of the leak or spill. • contain the spill at the source if possible. • stop a leak from a barrel by. • ceasing filling operations if leaking vessel is receiving fuel. • checking valves and seals, and ceasing use of these valves if leaking. • transferring all fuels from leaking barrels. • placing plastic sheeting at the foot of the leak to minimize seepage of the spilled material to the environment.
Spills on land can be contained and cleaned up by the following methods: • placing a soil berm down slope of the running or seeping fuel. • placing plastic tarps at the foot of and over the berm to permit the fuel to pool on the plastic for easy capture. Berms can be made of snow and lined with plastic in the winter. • using absorbent mats to soak up the fuel. The fuel can be squeezed from the mats into drums or plastic pails, and the pads can then be re-used. Larger pools of fuel can be pumped into empty drams. It is especially important to prevent fuel from entering a body of water where it will have a greater environmental impact. • placing a light covering of Sphag Sorb or alternate absorbent material onto soil or vegetation to absorb films of petroleum products. • placing contaminated absorbent mats into a metal or plastic container for eventual disposal by incineration and placing used Sphag Sorb, vegetation andlor soil into a metal or plastic container for eventual transport and disposal to Yellowknife.
7 Spills on Water Implementing the following steps can control spills of petroleum products on water: • deploying floating boom(s) to contain the floating product. • using a skimmer once a boom has been secured to capture the spilled product, and then pump it through hoses to empty fuel drums. • using absorbent mats and similar material to capture small spills on water.
Spills on Snow and Ice Spills on snow and/or ice can be contained and cleaned up by the following methods: • constructing a snow berm, lined with plastic sheeting, around the edge of the spill. • shoveling and scraping contaminated snow and ice and placing them into drums or on plastic and within plastic lined berms on land.
Chemical Spills The effects of chemical spills can be reduced by the following methods: • applying absorbents to soak up liquids. • placing plastic sheeting over solid chemicals, such as dusts and powders, to prevent their disbursement by wind or investigation by birds or other mammals. neutralizing acids or caustics by placing spilled material and contaminated cleanup supplies in an empty refuge drum and seal for disposal.
Dip osal
Any contaminated soil and/or vegetation will be placed on impermeable material and burned. All remaining soil/vegetation will be placed in bags and flown to Yellowknife for appropriate disposal. All fuel soaked absorbent material will be incinerated.
(0Training
All persons in camp will be oriented as to the location and nature of possible spill hazards, as well as the location, content and usage of spill kits, and locally available materials to control a spill. In addition, employees and contractors will be familiarized with procedures in this document and details of the Contingency Plan are posted in camp and at the drill.
(g) Inventory and location of response and clean-up equipment
The spill response kits at Treeline Lodge and at each drill site during drilling operations. Contain: • 12 - 3" X 48" oil absorbent socks • 175 —17"x19" oil absorbent pads • 2 - 5" X 10' oil absorbent booms • 1 - Pair safety goggles • 1 - Pair disposable coveralls • 2 - 4 ounce Gap Seal sticks • 4 - Disposable refuse bags
8 0 1 - Pair nitrile gloves ® 1 - 205 liter Metal Containment Drum with quick release lever lock system.
4.0 INITIAL ACTIONS
In the event of a spill, the first person on the scene is responsible for the following actions: o maintain alertness and ensure personal safety and that of others who are on the scene. • assess the hazard to persons in the vicinity of the spill. • if possible, without further assistance, control any danger to human health. • assess whether the spill can be readily stopped or brought under control. • where safe to do so, stop the flow of the spilled product. • report the spill without delay to the Camp Manager. • resume any action to contain, clean up, or stop the flow of spilled product.
5.0 ACTION PLAN
The following actions have been incorporated to minimize the potential for spills to occur during fuel handling, transfer, or storage operations:
• conduct regular inspections of fuel barrel storage areas and hoses for evidence of leaks. • use drip pans and/or absorbent matting at all petroleum transfer sites and under stationary machinery. • train personnel in proper fuel handling and spill response procedures. + immediately cleanup minor spills.
At GGL's exploration camps, domestic sewage is treated by direct application of lime solution to permafrost contained sewage pits.
Should other smaller exploration camps be required within any other claim block areas appropriate amendments to current Land Use Permits would be applied for and all applicable clauses dealing with sewage disposal in the Land Use Permit would be adhered too.
7.0 RESOURCE INVENTORY
7.1 Personnel
In addition to the Camp Manager, at least one other person is permanently available on site to assist in spill response and clean up activities. During helicopter refueling operations, at least three people are in camp. At least two people are stationed at drill sites at all times during drilling operations.
9 7.2 General Equipment
Rotary and fixed wing aircraft can be flown to the site from Yellowknife or nearby exploration camps or mines. Hand tools and miscellaneous equipment, such as plastic sheeting, are available at the camp site. In the event of a major spill and in the event that aircraft from Yellowknife are not immediately available, additional equipment, if needed, may be obtained from Diavik, Ekati and/or Snap Lake mine or several other nearby exploration camps.

This material will also be sent to your office by fax and the originals will soon follow via surface mail. Paul Jones Operations Manager GGL Diamond Corp. 12/18/2007 9 GGL DIAMOND CORP. Dec. 18, 2007 Eddie Erasmus Director, Tli Cho Lands Protection Department Box 412 Behchoko, NT XOE OYO Dear Mr. Erasmus: Please accept this letter as notification that GGL Diamond Corp. intends to submit an application to the Wek'eezhii Land and Water Board to renew Land Use Permit MV2001CO007 to continue to conduct mineral exploration in the Lac de Gras region. The accompanying maps and project description will assist in your review of this matter. GGL Diamond Corp. has been actively engaged in mineral exploration in this area since 1992. MV2001 C0007, issued by the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, entitles GGL to conduct mineral exploration on the company's CH Project — a group of claims comprising approximately 238,000 acres southwest of Lac de Gras. It's our intention to have the renewed permit cover a reduced amount of acreage. The CH Project claims pertaining to this permit renewal — Seahorse, Starfish, Courageous, McKay Lake, Shoe and BP - lie within an area of the Northwest Territories that is highly prospective for the discovery of diamondiferous kimberlite bodies. The large Lac de Gras diamondiferous kimberlite field lies just off the eastern edge of the CH project. However, the size of the CH property presents many unique challenges to a small exploration company such as GGL. There are many claims, many targets and many potential opportunities which are spread over a huge geographical area. To date, the company has expended significant resources on exploration activities and intends to continue doing so in an ongoing effort to locate other kimberlite bodies in the area. GGL Diamond Corp. has been operating mineral exploration programs in the Northwest Territories for more than 20 years with an unblemished environmental and safety record. The sensitivity of the environment and its importance to all residents of the Northwest Territories comprises an important aspect of GGL's exploration programs. #904 - 675 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6B 1N2 T 604.688.0546 € F 604.688.0378 I Toll Free 1.866.688.0546 I ggl@telusanet I www.ggldiamond.com -2- Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any comments or suggestions or you require additional information about our proposed activities.

Dec. 18, 2007 Bill Enge President, North Slave Metis Alliance Box 2301 YELLOWKNIFE, NT X1A 2P7 Dear Mr. Enge: Please accept this letter as notification that GGL Diamond Corp. intends to submit an application to the Wek'eezhii Land and Water Board to renew Land Use Permit MV2001CO007 to continue to conduct mineral exploration in the Lac de Gras region. The accompanying maps and project description will assist in your review of this matter. GGL Diamond Corp. has been actively engaged in mineral exploration in this area since 1992. MV2001 C0007, issued by the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, entitles GGL to conduct mineral exploration on the company's CH Project - a group of claims comprising approximately 238,000 acres southwest of Lac de Gras. It's our intention to have the renewed permit cover a reduced amount of acreage. The CH Project claims pertaining to this permit renewal - Seahorse, Starfish, Courageous, McKay Lake, Shoe and BP - lie within an area of the Northwest Territories that is highly prospective for the discovery of diamondiferous kimberlite bodies. The large Lac de Gras diamondiferous kimberlite field lies just off the eastern edge of the CH project. However, the size of the CH property presents many unique challenges to a small exploration company such as GGL. There are many claims, many targets and many potential opportunities which are spread over a huge geographical area. To date, the company has expended significant resources on exploration activities and intends to continue doing so in an ongoing effort to locate other kimberlite bodies in the area. GGL Diamond Corp. has been operating mineral exploration programs in the Northwest Territories for more than 20 years with an unblemished environmental and safety record. The sensitivity of the environment and its importance to all residents of the Northwest Territories comprises an important aspect of GGL's exploration programs. #904 -675 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6B 1N2 T 604.688.0546 1 F 604.688.0378 I Toll Free 1.866.688.0546 I ggl©telus.net I www.ggldiamond.com -2- Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any comments or suggestions or you require additional information about our proposed activities.

Attachments: YKDFN - 2008 Documents for 3 LUP's.zip Hello: Further to the e-mail you received this morning from Stephen Ellis, I wanted to provide you with some information about our plans to submit applications to the Wek'eezhii Land and Water Board for three Land Use Permits to conduct mineral exploration in an area north and northwest of Yellowknife. GGL Diamond Corp. has been actively engaged in mineral exploration in this region since 1992 and currently holds two valid Land Use Permits for the region that were issued by the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board - MV2001 C007 (Courageous Lake/Lac de Gras area) and MV2001 C0006 (Awry Lake area). The accompanying maps and project descriptions will assist in your review of this matter. MV2001 C0007 entities GGL to conduct mineral exploration on the company's CH Project— a group of claims comprising approximately 238,000 acres southwest of Lac de Gras. We intend to apply for a re newal of this LUP, but for a reduced amount of acreage. The CH Project claims pertaining to this permit renewal lie within an area of the Northwest Territories that is highly prospective for the discovery of diamondiferous kimberlite bodies. The large Lac de Gras diamondiferous kimberlite field lies just off the eastern edge of the CH project. However, the size of the CH property presents many unique challenges to a small exploration company such as GGL. There are many claims, many targets and many potential opportunities which are spread over a huge geographical area. To date, the company has expended significant resources on exploration activities and intends to continue doing so in an ongoing effort to locate other kimberlite bodies in the area. During exploration in 2006 and 2007, GGL made significant discoveries of nickel mineralization on the blocks of claims known as Winter Lake and Zip, currently within the boundaries of MV2001C0007. GGL would like to continue its exploration activities in this region and intends to apply for a new Land Use Permit from the Wek'6ezhfi Land and Water Board that is specific to these claims as well as new blocks of claims staked in the vicinity in 2007. This project will be referred to as the Providence Greenstone Belt (PGB) Project. The PGB Project comprises 182 claims covering approximately 390,000 acres. Beginning in 2008, GGL intends to conduct airborne and ground geophysics surveys, additional soil and rock sampling as well as further mapping of the geological features of this property. Results of this phase of exploration could lead to a future drill program. GGL also intends to submit an application to the Wek'eezhii Land and Water Board for renewal of Land Use Permit MV2001 00006. This permit entitles GGL to conduct mineral exploration on the company's Fishback Project — a group of claims comprising approximately 36,000 acres in the Awry Lake area, 60 kilometres northwest of Yellowknife. The company has been actively engaged in mineral exploration in this area since 1993. Formerly known as Gerle Gold Ltd., GGL Diamond Corp. has been operating mineral exploration programs in the Northwest Territories for more than 20 years with an unblemished environmental and safety record. The sensitivity of the environment and its importance to the residents of the Northwest Territories comprises an important aspect of GGL's exploration programs. We would be pleased to provide further information about these projects to the Yellowknives Dene First Nation. We will be conducting community consultations elsewhere during the first week of February and I'd like to suggest 1/15/2008 Page 2 of 2 a meeting with YKDFN representatives for that same period.

There are 31 archaeological sites within the project location identified on your schedule 'A'. I have attached the requested file types of this data. The data are from a copy of the original database maintained on our behalf at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and are updated annually. Please bear the following in mind when dealing with data from the NWT Archaeological Sites Database: 1) Only a small fraction of the archaeological sites in the NWT have been located and recorded. If there are none recorded in your area of interest this likely means that the area remains unexplored for archaeological resources and that sensitive, unrecorded archaeological sites may exist. 2) Local Aboriginal groups may have cultural or sacred sites in the area, which are not registered in the NWT Archaeological Sites database. As well, local knowledge of traditional land use patterns can provide valuable information about past use of your development area. 3) If you are applying for access to the NWT Archaeological Sites Database as part of a land use permit, lease or other land use or water use application, please note that a request to access to the database does not constitute an archaeological review of your project. 4) We ask you to follow the terms of the licence agreement closely. All land and water regulatory agencies in the NWT have agreed that you are not required to submit maps detailing the location of archaeological sites with your land use permit application. Land use permit applications are public documents therefore they SHOULD NOT contain accurate location information regarding archaeological sites. This helps protect the sites from unnecessary attention.

Paul Jones — Operations Manager Yellowknife, NWT - Feb. 5/08 • Thank you for inviting us to this meeting. My name is Paul Jones and this is Katie McLean. We work for GGL Diamond Corporation. • We want to share some information with you about the work that GGL wants to do on three separate projects — one near the Big Bear/Newbigging Lake area, cast of the Tli Cho lands; the second in the Courageous Lake area and the third northwest of Yellowknife near Awry Lake. • Katie is one of our Project Geologists and in a few minutes she's going to talk about some specifics of our various exploration plans. n GGL is a small exploration company, with a staff of about a dozen people. n Our head office is in Vancouver, and we also have an office in Yellowknife. n GGL used to be called Gerle Gold. Unlike many companies which have come and gone over the years, our company has been involved in mineral exploration in the Northwest Territories for almost 20 years. n GGL has a valid Land Use Permit from the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board for exploration programs in the Courageous Lake/Lac de Gras region. n We would like to continue but change the focus of some of that work and so we have applied for a new Land Use Permit from the Wek'eezbii Land and Water Board. The permit we are applying for covers some of our old mineral claims as well as new blocks of claims staked last year. • There are about 400,000 acres of claims on this property • We want to run the program from our exploration camp which is on a small lake that is accessible by aircraft only. 0 We call that camp Zip Camp, and there are 11 temporary structures there — a kitchen, dry, generator shed, core logging shed, office, outhouse and five sleep tents. n The number of people in camp varies depending on what's going on. Sometimes there may be 5 to 10 people, sometimes a few more, but there is never more than 20 people staying there. • We keep the camp clean and tidy at all times and it's completely surrounded by an electrified fence. • As part of the land use permit procedures, we are subject to periodic inspection by DIAND officials who want to make sure we aren't damaging the environment. • GGL has received many good reports from the inspectors about how clean we keep our camp. n The fuel drums that we fly into the camp are all put in one spot, well away from the edge of the water. • We have proper equipment on hand in case any fuel leaks or spills when we are pumping it out of the drums. n We stack up the empty drums in a neat pile and send them back to Yellowknife on Air Tindi on a regular basis. n We also try to clean up any caches of old fuel drums left behind by other companies that worked in the area in past years. • At Zip Camp, waste water from the kitchen, showers and washing machine is piped into a large covered hole in the sand and then it dissipates out into the ground around there. n This covered pit is well back from the edge of the lake and is designed so that none of the greywater gets in the lake. n We treat both the outhouse and the greywater sump box with lime on a regular basis. • We burn all the garbage we can and anything that can't be burned, like waste oil or metal is put on the plane and flown back to Yellowknife. • Our exploration programs are limited by the weather. A typical field season for us is from March to May and then from early July to late September — a total of about 5 months. 2 We recognize the importance of the land, the water and the wildlife to northerners. n I just moved away from Yellowknife after living in the north for 27 years and during all the years that I lived here it's something I've heard people say many, many times. n I have a lot of experience on the land and I share your concerns. n We know that there are caribou and many other types of wildlife in this area. • When Katie and the other geologists are doing their work on the tundra, they often see caribou or grizzly bears or wolves and we always try to avoid disturbing them. • We see caribou wandering close to Zip Camp and we're always very respectful of those animals. n We are also well aware of the important cultural and archaeological sites in this area and the other parts of the NWT in which we operate. n We are very careful about these spots and we have to abide by the laws that deal with how close we can get to these sites. • I'd like to go back to that slide of the CH Project. 0s The company has conducted an array of diamond exploration programs in the Courageous Lake/Lac de Gras area under a permit issued by the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board in 2001. This permit expires February 28, 2008. • GGL intends to reduce the overall size of the CH project area by moving the western boundary. • We're going to apply for a renewal of the existing Land Use Permit from the Wek'eezhii Land and Water Board in the coming weeks. • This project will continue to be referred to as the CH Project We have about 238,000 acres of claims here. • In the past, we've used Trecline Lodge, a camp operated by Bathurst Inlet Developments Ltd. at Matthews Lake. 3 • Any future programs we operate on the CIH Project will likely be operated out of that same camp. • The other property we wanted to discuss today is our Fishback project, in the Awry Lake area, about 60 kilometers northwest of Yellowknife. • GGL has been actively engaged in mineral exploration in the Awry Lake area since 1993 and currently holds a valid Land Use Permit from the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board. n There are 18 mineral claims here, totaling about 36,000 acres. n We're going to be applying to the the Wek'eezhli Land and Water Board for a renewal of the existing Land Use Permit so that we can continue our exploration activities on this property. • Access to these claims from Yellowknife is by fixed wing on floats, skis or tires, helicopter and/or snowmobile. • We've use privately-owned cabins on Awry Lake for our previous sampling and drill programs. • Off-shift drilling crews spend the night in Yellowknife and are transported to the work site via fixed-wing aircraft. n We don't plan to change this arrangement — we don't intend to establish an exploration camp on this property. • I'm going to turn it over to Katie now to talk about some specifics of our plans. (PRESENTATION BY KATIE McLEAN, PROJECT GEOLOGIST) • We came here to share information about our company and the work that we plan to do. Now, Katie and I would like to hear what you have to say about our projects. 4 9 GIL DIAMOND CORP. Katie McLean, Project Geologist Speaking Notes — Meeting with North Slave Metis Assoc. Yellowknife, NT — Feb. 7, 2008 Hello, my name is Katie McLean and I am the project geologist for the Providence Greenstone Belt (PGB) Project. Although nickel will be the prime focus of GGL's exploration on the PGB Project, the geology in the area is highly favourable for economic base metal deposits. Therefore, more work will be directed here, along with continued efforts to discover diamond-bearing kimberlite. For the CH and Fishback projects the focus of the exploration is on diamonds. I would like to take some time to talk about the range of activities that we may carry out on the property in the next few years, and afterwards I will talk about which of these activities we would like to carry out in 2008. All of these activities we have carried out in the past,. Activities we may like to carry out this year and also in the next few years to come include: • SoiI sampling • Heavy mineral sampling • Rock sampling • Channel sampling • Lake sediment sampling • Mapping • Airborne geophysics • Ground geophysics • Drilling When soil sampling, we dig a hole 30cm deep and take a paper bag of soil approximately the size of a fist, which we then send to the lab. When heavy mineral sampling we always take a heavy mineral sample and soil sample from the same hole, which is still usually 30cm deep but a little wider than a soil sample hole. A heavy mineral sample weighs about 30kg and this soil is put into a plastic bag and sent to the lab. When rock sampling, we carry a hammer and break of pieces of rock, also usually about the size of a fist, to send to the lab. When channel sampling, we are taking samples of rock, by cutting two parallel lines through the rock with a saw and then breaking off the rock in-between the lines. When lake sediment sampling, we have a small float plane which lands on a lake, the pilot will get out onto the float of the plane and drop a metal tube down into the lake on a piece of rope, then pull up the tube full of sediment from the bottom of the lake. The sediment samples are the same size as soil samples, and we take then to the lab. When mapping, we walk around looking at the rocks and writing down what we see. Airborne geophysics involves a crew of people and a helicopter with a large Ioop hanging underneath. The helicopter will take off from the camp and fly east to west in straight lines all over the property, measuring magnetic and electromagnetic fields from the rocks underneath. Ground geophysics measures the same thing as airborne geophysics, though over a much smaller area, usually less then 1 square kilometre. A crew of 2 or 3 people will go and mark out a grid with short wooden pickets, then go to each picket and measure either the magnetic or electromagnetic field. When drilling we use a portable drill rig such as a Boyles 25A, to drill a hole usually up to 200m long which is cased with a metal tube. We end up with a core of rock from inside the hole that is about 5cm wide, I have an example of this type of rock core with me. We put the rock core in boxes and then observe it closely to see what kind of rock it is, sometimes sending pieces of rock core to the lab. Access to field sites for all of these activities is usually by helicopter, occasionally by small float plane, or skidoo in the winter. Now I will talk about our plans for 2008, where GGL plans to conduct follow-up work on the results from its previous mapping and sampling programs, and expand exploration onto recently-staked mineral claims. The timing and nature of subsequent exploration activities has yet to be finalized. PGB plan for 2008 A two-phase exploration program is proposed at this time, which includes airborne and ground geophysics, detailed mapping, soil sampling and potentially the drilling of nickel sulfide targets. Phase I of the exploration program is scheduled to begin in March of 2008, depending on weather and logistics. It is proposed that this phase will primarily focus on airborne and ground geophysics. Phase 2 is proposed for after the snow has melted in June, and will be a combination of mapping, and soil and rock sampling in order to delineate mineralized zones. In the fall the planned exploration program will involve the use of a diamond drill core rig to test geophysical anomalies on the property, which have been identified by airborne or ground geophysical surveys. The precise location and number of drill targets is not known at this time Any drill targets on Iakes and must be drilled in the winter or spring when the ice is thick enough to support a core rig, and so any such targets may not be drilled until the winter/spring of 2008/2009. CH plan for 2008 While nothing has been firmly scheduled at this time, we anticipate the potential for the following activities over the spring and summer: • Heavy mineral and soil sampling to delineate kimberlite indicator mineral trains • Ground geophysics to better define airborne geophysical targets • DriIling of both known kimberlite and potential targets Fishback plan for 2008 There are currently no plans to work on the Fishback property in 2008. The potential of this property remains intact and, as resources allow, it is likely there will be work on this property in the future. c. . 2 GL DIAMOND CORP. Meeting Notes North Slave Metis Alliance Feb. 7, 2008 — Yellowknife ATTENDANCE GGL Diamond Corp. - Paul Jones, Operations Manager (PJ) Katie McLean, Project Geologist (KM) NSMA - Sheryl Grieve, Environmental Manager (SG) Sarah Olivier, Environmental Engineer (SO) Shannon Hayden, Environmental Assistant (SH) Rob Balsillie — Elder (RB) The meeting began at 1:35 p.m. PJ introduced himself and KM and provided an overview of GGL's PGB, CH and Fishback Projects (speaking notes attached). Following PJ's presentation, KM provided further information on the methods and impacts of various types of exploration activities and more details about work plans on the three properties (speaking notes attached). SG questioned whether GGL had considered establishing a camp on Iii Cho lands when choosing a camp location. PJ replied that the company deliberately avoided searching for a suitable camp location on Tli Cho lands. SG raised questions about the capacity of GGL's Zip Camp and wondered whether it could be utilized in the spring/summer of '08 for an environmental research project that NSMA is involved with. PJ replied that GGL is open to having the NSMA staff stay at Zip Camp, depending on a number of factors such as dates, space availability, etc. It was agreed that SG and PJ would keep in contact on this subject. SG questioned whether till sample holes and the cutouts left by channel sampling are in- filled. KM replied that surrounding material is pushed back into till sample holes and that the rock removed during channel sampling is all removed for analysis and the resulting gap is only a couple of inches deep and a couple of inches wide. SH questioned whether GGL is interested in hiring students for its summer exploration program in order to have young people exposed to the sciences and become interested in careers such as geology. PJ replied that GGL has similar interests and requested NSMA to provide a list of names and their interests so the company could try to match potential employees with their job interests if positions become available. RB asked about the prevalence of the greenstone belt in the Northwest Territories. KM provided an explanation about the geology of the Greenstone Belt and how the Providence Greenstone Belt is one of several in the Slave Craton. RB asked about how to access information held by Geological Survey of Canada. An explanation was provided by both SG and PJ about the availability of public information and the various sources of geological data. SH wondered whether GGL has had an archaeological survey conducted on the PGB property and what the impact would be on exploration activities if additional archaeological sites were found. PJ responded that the company has not had such a survey done but does have information from the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre about the known location of archaeological sites. He also replied that GGL must abide by applicable laws about working near known archaeological sites. KM indicated that one of GGL's geologists, John Knight, has noted the location of several archaeological sites that don't appear in the PWNHC database and suggested NSMA contact him for further information. SG questioned whether GGL was planning to conduct an archaeological survey of the PGB property? PJ replied that such work isn't planned at this time. SG indicated that NSMA doesn't believe that the geophysical programs planned for the snow-covered months pose a problem vis-a-vis the disturbance of archaeological sites, but that sampling programs may and that NSMA may request that an archaeological survey be done within one kilometre of all sampling locations. KM showed examples of the types of rock that GGL was interested in a discussion followed about the types of minerals found. The meeting concluded at 2:45 p.m. 2
