SUMMARY
Going from gold and silver exploration to production.
Apolo estimates it will produce 15,000 ounces of gold in the next 12 months, and also expects to recover 200,000 ounces of silver in the next 12 months.
At current gold prices of $395/oz gold revenue should exceed $6 million. At current silver prices of $7.00/oz silver proceeds should more than cover all operating costs.
The estimated gross margin for gold is under $100/oz.
Previous public calculations by professional engineers/geologists have indicated that the KBU (see below) resource contains an initial inferred resource in excess of 1 million ounces of gold equivalent.

MINING FOCUS
Based on KBU/NUP properties.
• Current production: Gold, Silver.
• The company has discovered a quartz carbonate vein that is 1.25 meters in width on the KBU property. Good gold and silver values are generally with quartz carbonate veins.
• Apolo Gold is continuing with its program of exploration on its adjoining NUP property. An underground audit, designed to cross-cut several parallel vein structures, is about 50% completed.
• APLL has also discovered significant copper mineralization on its Napal Gold Property. (NUP, see below)
HIGH GROSS MARGINS
Open pit mining on the KBU (see below) property.
• Initial mining is in a designated area 250 ft by 150 ft by 50 ft.
• It is open pit mining because the ore is very soft and does not require drilling and blasting.
• Contains 170,000 tonnes of ore, representing two years of production.
• Ore can be mined by an excavator, loaded onto a truck and processed at a mill that is only 200 feet away.
Mill Processing
• The mill can process 250-300 tons per day. After processing is completed, the solutions are passed through an electrowinning system that processes gravity concentrates. Resulting gold and silver are sent to a refinery on Java for final processing.
• APLL has entered into a lease/purchase agreement for the mill, and payment for the mill will be made from proceeds of production.
PROPERTY LOCATION, SIZE & HISTORY
Location — southern tip of the Island of Sumatra, Indonesia
• Two adjacent properties, NUP & KBU, both located in an area of Indonesia with significant historical mining activity.
• 25 miles from Bandar Lampung, which is one hour by jet from Jakarta.
• Combined total of 4,120 acres (1,667.2) hectares for mining purposes.
• Elevation of 400 meters above sea level, rolling hills covered by mostly secondary forests and cleared areas.
• 250-300 per day ton mill located on KBU that can process ore from both properties.
Napal Umbar Picung (NUP)
• 1,814 acres (734 hectares).
• Located along the eastern edge of a caldera (volcano) and related to a major fault system associated with and including the Sumatra Fault System. (see below)
• KBU: 2305 acres (933 hectares) and is immediately adjacent to the NUP property.
• There is an area history of success allowing redemption of capital and profits.
AREA GEOLOGY
• The island of Sumatra lies along a major zone sumatra Fault & Sunda arc system. The Indian-Australian Plate is subducting under the southwester margin of the Eurasian Plate.
• The Sunda magmatic arc extends along the length of these islands. The arc has given rise to extensive volcanic activity and mineral emplacement for the past quarter billion years.
• All the major regional faults of southern Sumatra, which provided the main conduits for mineralizing fluids to enter the area, pass through or near the NUP and KBU properties.
• From a geologist's report, "It is quite evident that the ground has been well prepared geologically and as a result, a lot of gold and silver has been emplaced in this large epithermal system."
EXPLORATION AGREEMENTS
• NUP: semi annual payments of $25,000 each, in March and in September. Last payment due September, 2008. $100,000 has been paid with $225,000 owing. Apolo retains 80% of net profits.
