INTRODUCTION
Mundoro Mining Inc. is a TSX listed company focused on the exploration and development of the large-scale, advanced exploration stage Maoling Gold Project in Liaoning Province, north-east China.
Maoling is a pioneering project in many ways. It is the largest gold project in China to be explored by a Sino-Canadian joint venture; is believed to be the largest undeveloped gold deposit in China; and is anticipated to be among the first large-scale mining projects to be licensed under the new mining laws and regulations of China.
For the past four years, Mundoro has been aggressively exploring the project, outlining multi-million ounces Reserves and Resources. A pre-feasibility study was completed in June 2005 demonstrating the economic potential of developing a large-scale open-pit mine at Maoling, establishing a Probable Reserve of 2.8 million ounces of gold. Using a conservative 93% metallurgical recovery rate for Zone 1 ore, the pre-feasibility envisages producing an average of 328,000 ounces of gold per year. The initial mine-life of approximately eight years is expected to be significantly extended in the final feasibility, as more of the project's Resources are converted to Reserves (remaining Zone 1 Indicated Resource of 1.0 million ounces, Inferred Resource of 2.3 million ounces in Zone 1 plus 2.8 million ounces in Zone 4. Mundoro is moving quickly to optimize the design and to expand the overall resource-base for the Definitive Feasibility Study).
MUNDORO IN CHINA
Before forming an agreement to explore and develop the Maoling project, Mundoro reviewed many projects throughout China. Data on Maoling was reviewed in late 1997 when the project was placed on a list of projects that the government has approved for development with foreign investment, and after completion of due diligence sampling and testing, a joint venture agreement was signed with a corporate division of the Liaoning Provincial Government in 2001.
The result was the establishment of a Co-operative Exploration Joint Venture company: Liaoning Tianli Mining
Comp any Ltd., which is the operator of the 20 square-kilometre Maoling property. Under the terms of the joint venture contract, Mundoro will earn 79% of the profits from the joint venture in return for managing and funding the project to production.
Based on an initial drilling program and subsequent Resource estimate, Mundoro completed an initial public offering on the TSX-V in November of 2003, raising $13.0 million, and was soon promoted to the senior TSX exchange.
After an aggressive exploration program that has included more than 63,000 metres of core drilling, Mundoro has successfully completed a resource estimate update and pre-feasibility study and is now proceeding with a Definitive Feasibility Study for Zone 1. Further exploration work is planned for 2006 to delineate the Zone 4 Resource and expand Zone 1, both of which remain open-ended.
THE MAOLING GOLD PROJECT
The Maoling Gold Project is a multi-million ounce gold project that Mundoro is advancing quickly to development and production. Disseminated gold mineralization has been identified in two principal deposit areas at Maoling, known as Zone 1 and Zone 4. Mundoro has collected by far the most information in the Zone 1 deposit through extensive programs of drilling, trenching and mapping. A pre-feasibility study completed in June 2005 has demonstrated the economic potential of developing a large-scale open-pit mine at Maoling while establishing a Probable Reserve of 2.8 million ounces of gold. Mundoro is working to optimize the mine and processing design and to expand the overall resource-base for the full feasibility study, the results of which are expected in mid-2006.
The 20 square kilometer Maoling license area is located approximately 500 kilometres east of Beijing in Liaoning Province, P.R. China. The area is endowed with significant infrastructure, including power, water, telephone and cellular service, and is easily accessed by paved road from either the provincial capital of Shenyang or the city and port city of Dalian, both a short flight from Beijing.

UPDATE STATUS
As announced on September 6th 2005, the renewal of the business license for Tianli has been delayed. As a result, Tianli's application for renewal of its exploration license, which expired on November 5, 2005, has been deferred pending the issuance of a new business license. Operations have not been impacted by these license delays, which are not uncommon in China's evolving regulatory environment.
Mundoro's management team continues to pursue the renewal of its business and exploration licenses, addressing the issue as part of a multi-level government relations program. They have engaged in a series of productive meetings with officials in both Liaoning and Beijing in an effort to expedite the renewal process, and have been encouraged by the level of local support for the development of the Maoling project. The Company is confident that the licenses will be renewed, and is on course to achieve the next major milestones for the Maoling project.
The Maoling Project's 2005 exploration program has been completed on schedule and work is proceeding to update the Zone 1 Resource Estimate for the definitive feasibility study and Environmental and Social Impact Assessment.
With the issuance of the new exploration license, plans are in place for a minimum 25,000 metre drill program in 2006 to explore the Zone 4 deposit and the western and southern peripheries of Zone 1, in addition to further investigating a possible mineralized link between the two deposits. The significant remaining 'blue sky' potential for the project can significantly expand the project and lengthen its overall mine-life.
Mundoro has assembled a highly qualified professional team in China that is undertaking the Definitive Feasibility Study and preparation of the environmental impact assessments required for project permit applications. This development team has the extensive technical capability and country-specific experience to assist Mundoro to transform what is currently China's largest undeveloped gold resource into China's largest operating gold mine.
