Favorable Project Characteristics Cameroon cobalt mineralization is higher grade and coarser
size than all other known laterite deposits.
Cobalt grade is upgraded three fold using lowcost washing
and sizing similar to simple sand and gravel operations.
Shallow open pit (less than 16 m deep) allows concurrent backfilling & reclamation. Blasting not needed.
Project plans are environmentally friendly and will create long term sustainable development (450 permanent employees)

Nkamouna Project Financing Nkamouna capital estimate of $398 million will likely be
reduced by the upcoming Optimization Study (July 2008) Debt financing assumed at 55% of the project total is $219
million. Equity component at 45% is $179 million
Geovic is responsible for 60% of equity, or $107 million Geovic has $75 million of cash plus $15 million credit from past
advances on
behalf
of
GeoCam
minority
shareholders
Thus, Geovics additional equity needs for the Nkamouna project are modest
