Comparison of Bema/Arian (Juliette Deposit) VS. Armada Gold (Taseevskoe
Deposit)

Julietta is located in NE Siberia north of the Arctic Circle. and is an
underground gold/silver deposit with a reserve/resource containing
975,000 ozs gold equivalent. Arian owns 79% of the project and has
completed a feasibility study (Kvaerner Davy, Toronto) and organized a
$60 million financing package to meet the major portion of a $70 million
development of the project to produce 95,000 ozs per annum.

Bema Gold recently announced a friendly takeover of Arian issueing 10
million shares to Arian shareholders valuing Arian at $36 million. Bema
is paying $33.15 per ounce for for the Julietta ounces.

Armada's Taseevskoe deposit is located in SE Siberia (52N) in an area
with extensive infrastructure. Taseevskoe has a reserve/resource of 5
million ozs with Armada owning 100%. Armada is currently finalizing
(June completion) a supplementary study to their main Feasibility study
(Kvaerner, Davy- Toronto). This is expected to confirm the viability of
a low capital, start up project for their major deposit. producing
95,000 ozs per annum. Expected capital cost is $40 million. This initial
development is a natural lead in to a major expansion of their
facilities to exploit their larger resource. This will be done at an
appropriate gold price (the project needs $340 per oz). and improved
market conditions.

If the Bema valuation is applied to Armada, ie. US$33.15 per oz., it
values Armada at US$165 million or Cdn$235 million. against a current
market capitalization of Can$ 40 million. These numbers do not include
the producing copper leaching operation in Mongolia. Armada would be 3
to 6 months behind Arian in finalizing its project so a discount needs
to be applied.

However you slice it, Armada is trading at a 17% of its gold valuation
and significantly more when you consider the copper assets in Mongolia.
