Shambesai Gold Project, Kyrgyz Republic (MSR 100%)

Manas Resources Limited

ACN 128 042 606

In May 2013, Manas reported results of a Bankable Feasibility Study for the Shambesai Gold Project, Kyrgyz
Republic.
The Shambesai gold operation is projected to process 2.54Mt of ore at 3.4g/t gold containing 277,000 ounces of gold, and recover 227,000 ounces of gold over a 4 ½ year mine life at operating cash costs of US$387 per ounce of gold (C1 costs excluding revenue based royalties and taxes). See Table 1 below.
Table 1 ‐ Summary of Key Parameters for the Shambesai Gold Project (US$1,400 life‐of‐mine gold price)

1. NPV after Kyrgyz 3% revenue tax, 3% royalty, 2% sales tax and 2% community payments on gross revenue taking into account the revised fiscal regime in the country with effect from January 2013.

2. Average operating cost per ounce C1 is calculated according to the Brooke‐Hunt methodology. However, it excludes royalty and revenue‐based tax payments which form the corporate tax in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Project Permitting

Manas Resources Limited's 100%-owned Kyrgyz subsidiary CJSC Z-Explorer was issued the "Shambesai
Infrastructure Land Transformation and Land Allotment" or "Land Permit", as announced by the Company on 16
September. This key permit, issued via government decree through the supervising regional agency the Kadamjai

Administration Office, rezones the project area from agricultural to industrial-use covering the infrastructure, mining and processing facilities for the construction and operation of the Shambesai Gold Project.
The award of the permit allows Manas to commence initial development works at the Shambesai site area, including road upgrades, minor earthworks and plan construction of a site office. Award of the permit provides a trigger for Manas to commence the application for final project design and construction permits, including completion and submission of the OVOS, the Kyrgyz equivalent of an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment.
Manas acknowledges the ongoing support of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic, especially the Kadamjai
Regional Administration (KRA) and Maidan Village Authority (MVA), in granting the permit.

Project Financing

Discussions regarding financing the US$41.3M capital cost for the Shambesai Gold Project have advanced with a number of parties. Manas remains confident it will receive project financing to coincide with the granting of remaining project permits in the first half of 2014.
The Company is currently updating the Shambesai BFS schedule and capital cost expenditure timetable to reflect the current expectations for award of the final environment and construction permits, and timing for the drawdown of project finance.

Exploration

Ulugtau Prospect
A preliminary drilling and trenching program was completed at the Ulugtau prospect on the Djilginsai project area,
30km from Shambesai.
Results from this program were reported on 14 October and included 7m at 5.27g/t gold, including 3m at 10g/t gold, and 6m at 10.35g/t gold, including 3m at 18.7g/t gold. These results came from trenches designed to interpret the mineralisation identified in previous drill results, which included 10.8m at 13.23g/t gold from 29.2m. Significant grade has now been found on surface in strongly altered silica within siltstones and sandstones between the two trenches and the 2009 drill hole, all within 40m of each other. See Table 2 below for results from the Ulugtau
Trenching.

A small program of follow-up drilling at Ulugtau has shown the Ulugtau mineralisation to be at a perpendicular orientation and in a different setting to the Shambesai-Obdilla model. Follow-up mapping will be undertaken to plan further drill holes at a different orientation early in 2014.

Drilling is currently underway at the 485,000 ounce Obdilla project, which is located 7km from Shambesai. Results are anticipated during the current quarter. Once the program is completed, the drill rig will move to Shambesai for exploration, geotechnical and infill drilling.

Company Overview

Manas Resources Limited

ACN 128 042 606

Manas Resources Limited is an Australian-based company focused on exploring and developing its 100%-owned gold projects on the Tien Shan gold belt in the Kyrgyz Republic. The Company has a Mineral Resource base of 1,184,000 ounces of gold at the Obdilla and Shambesai prospects, which are only seven kilometres apart.
The main focus for Manas is exploring for Carlin-style gold deposits seven projects collectively called the South Kyrgyz Gold Project, with Manas technical staff working on defining resources and developing these gold projects. Definitive and bankable feasibility studies have been completed for Shambesai, and a mining and development
licence has been issued for the Shambesai Gold Project.

Note: The Mineral Resource was estimated within constraining wireframe solids based on a nominal lower cut‐off grade of 0.2 g/t Au. The Mineral Resource is quoted from all blocks above a cut‐off grade of 0.3 g/t Au for Oxide Resources and 0.75 g/t Au for Sulphide Resources. . Low grade refers to blocks above cut‐off and below 2.0 g/t Au, while High Grade refers to blocks above 2.0 g/t Au. Differences may occur due to rounding.
