Serra Pelada

Colossus Minerals’ flagship project, Serra Pelada, hosts the famed high-grade gold-platinum-palladium deposit. At resource delineation stage, the project is being advanced towards production by a COLOSSUS-COOMIGASP joint venture. Under the joint venture, Colossus can earn up to a 75% interest in the Serra Pelada project.
Serra Pelada is situated in the mineral prolific Carajas region near the towns of Curionopolis and Parauapebas, Para State, northern Brazil, where access and infrastructure are excellent.
The Central Mineralized Zone at Serra Pelada was mined along about 350m of strike length to depths of about 110m. Vale drilling in this area encountered some remarkable intersections. For example drill hole FD-0032, 43m. (from 40m) assaying 4709g/t gold, 204g/t platinum and 1174g/t palladium (Cabral et al, 2002) (view long section of open pit).

The company’s has recently completed a 5,130-metres, 17 holes, phase I drilling program at Serra Pelada with drill results including:

SPD-002: 46.72 m @ 24.11 g/t gold, 6.11 g/t platinum and 11.57 g/t palladium, and 14.65m @ 22.51g/t gold, 4.56 g/t platinum and 5.01 g/t palladium
SPD-013: 23.00 m @ 20.68 g/t gold, 3.26 g/t platinum and 3.91 g/t palladium including 7.5 m @ 54.62 g/t gold, 8.64 g/t platinum and 9.95 g/t palladium

Phase II of Colossus’ drilling program at Serra Pelada commenced in January 2009. The 5000 metre program involves step-out drilling towards the historic Serra Pelada open pit as well as further resource delineation work on the Central Mineralized Zone.

Natividade

Mainly to the south of, but encompassing the town of Natividade in Tocantins State, Brazil, the project area comprises two contiguous exploration licences aggregating 10,000 hectares. Most of the area comprises sparsely vegetated scrublands with minor low intensity agricultural development. The project is in an area of excellent infrastructure.

Colossus, the project operator, has concluded an option agreement with Terrana Mineradera Ltda (a Brazilian private company) to acquire a 70% interest in the Natividade project.

A phase I scout drilling program was recently conducted and the results were favorable including 2m @ 34.91 g/t gold and 19m @ 7.72 g/t gold. In January 2009, Colossus successfully negotiated a one-year extension on both the option payments and exploration expenditure schedule on the Natividade project. Assuming more normalized market conditions, Colossus intends to conduct a phase I reverse circulation drilling program during the second half of 2009.
