    The Taurus cluster K122 kimberlite pipe, better known to Forest Gate
shareholders as the 122 Pipe located at the company's West Side Property, is
partly owned by Forest Gate relating to its origins as diamond explorers.
    Forest Gate acquired this asset in 2005 when the company's business was
diamond exploration. The company subsequently converted itself into an
international oil and gas exploration and production company in 2007.
    In 2006, Forest Gate drilled two three-inch diameter drill-holes on its
portion of the 122 Kimberlite Pipe. Twenty seven diamonds were recovered from
64 kilograms of coarse-grained volcaniclastic kimberlite from drill-hole
FG06-32.
    Acquired between 1999 and 2005, Forest Gate's diamond properties include
the 100% owned West Side and East Side properties, strategically located along
the western and eastern flanks of the massive Fort a la Corne kimberlite
field. The properties are for sale.
    Forest Gate's East Side property includes a portion of the 121 kimberlite
pipe, the Dizzy kimberlite and Duke kimberlite. Additionally, the company owns
the South Side property located southeast of the Saskatchewan river. These
properties are also for sale.
