Exco and Polymetals Group Pty Ltd. have agreed the final structure of the Joint Venture Agreement envisaged by the Heads of Agreement (HOA) entered into on 27 March 2008 in relation to the White Dam Gold Project.

The White Dam Gold Project, which is located in South Australia approximately 80 kilometres west of Broken Hill, is an advanced development project containing a resource inventory of 330,400 ounces of gold. Subject to final approvals being obtained, the parties anticipate that the project can commence construction in mid 2009, with first gold production scheduled by late 2009/early 2010.

Polymetals will acquire a 25% interest in the project for a consideration of A$2.8m.

Exco and Polymetals will also enter into a management agreement, appointing Polymetals as project manager. Polymetals prior ownership and involvement in the White Dam Gold Project provides them with a significant advantage as project manager.
