About Glass Earth Gold

Glass Earth Gold is one of New Zealand's most active gold exploration companies
with landholdings proximal to producing deposits and cash flow from its wholly
owned placer projects. With an experienced geological team the Company is
exploring promising gold prospects across both the North and South Islands.


In the North Island, exploration efforts are focused on large epithermal gold
systems in the Hauraki Region, akin to the operating Martha Hill mine, (Newmont
Mining).


In the Hauraki Region, Glass Earth Gold has identified and developed significant
ground positions around the active Martha Hill gold mine operations at Waihi.
The Newmont-Glass Earth Gold Waihi West JV (Newmont earning in) and Hauraki JV
(65/35), including drilling at the WKP discovery, are being actively explored
and managed by Newmont in collaboration with Glass Earth Gold. 


The recent announcement that Glass Earth Gold has acquired option rights to the
Neavesville gold/silver prospect (just north of WKP) will mean an increased
exploration focus in the Hauraki region. 


In the South Island, exploration efforts are focused on the Otago Region, home
to OceanaGold's Macraes Goldfield, for identification of mesothermal
"Macraes-style" gold targets and revenue generation through placer (alluvial)
gold production.
