Chairman’s Statement
I am very pleased to announce the initial phase of field works to begin on the Mansounia concession in Guinea, which is scheduled to commence within the third quarter of 2016. This good news comes after several meetings with our in-country manager in Conakry, Guinea and various specialist consultants. The timing of the programs is critical due to the weather patterns in Guinea at present and that is why we are endeavouring to put a team on the ground as soon as is practicable. It is anticipated that the data gathered will contribute to both our overall picture of the huge 175 square-kilometre concession and also become part of our impending Pre-Feasibility Study. As Chair of the Board it is invigorating to see the Company move into action on site – a move that perfectly complements the positive year of consolidation and planning we have experienced at Blox, Inc.

Strategy and Board Focus.
The Board recognizes that now is the time to move forward with the focus on Blox, Inc’s core asset – Mansounia. The concession holds over a million ounces of inferred gold in the ground and those ounces are becoming more valuable as the spot price of gold continues its steady climb. In response to these positive market conditions management has prepared field programs to extend the Company’s scope of knowledge about the concession and prepare for more exhaustive studies to come in the near future. The board is very excited about the potential of our Guinea property.
The Board is responsible for leading by example and ensuring that a robust governance structure is in place to enable the business to succeed and deliver long-term sustainable growth. As part of this responsibility the Board has continued in 2016 to actively grow the business by meeting with key companies and contractors in a range of areas. The Chairman recently visited Conakry in Guinea and was given a detailed update from the team on the ground and was brought up to date on the state of our concession.
To enforce the importance of good governance and setting the right standards throughout the company, we have re-assessed and updated our Code of Conduct, setting out the values and standards we expect in the normal course of business. This code covers issues such as health and safety, conduct, diversity, financial controls and business integrity, productivity, staff welfare, due diligence and more. Once approved by the Board, the new Code of Conduct will be available on our website.
On behalf of the Board, the Chairman would like to thank the wonderful management team, all the staff and the companies that continue to contribute to the success of Blox, Inc. The Chairman and the remainder of the Board look forward to seeing the results of the field program at Mansounia over the coming period.
