1° The Tantalus project comprises one exploration licence (permit PR 6698) made up of 768 contiguous
625 m by 625 m unit blocks that encompass a total area of 300 km2. The permit is currently granted as
a “Permis de Recherche” (research permit), or PR, which grants the exclusive right for prospecting
and research. The permit is valid until 2017 and can be renewed once more, for a period of three
year

The permit was originally held by Calibra Resources and Engineers Madagascar SARL in 2003 [Ravalomanana], and was subsequently acquired by Zebu Metals Limited in January 2008 [Ravalomanana]. Tantalus assumed 100% ownership of the permit in October 2009 [Rajoelina].
