About First Bauxite
First Bauxite Corporation (TSX VENTURE:FBX) is a Canadian natural resource
company engaged in the exploration and development of bauxite deposits in
Guyana, South America. The Company has its head office in Toronto and is managed
by experienced geoscientists and business development professionals with
worldwide experience in the exploration and mining business across a number of
mineral commodities. The mission of First Bauxite is to become a near term,
medium size producer and supplier of high quality refractory grade sintered

historical coastal bauxite belt, including the Bonasika Mining License, the
Waratilla-Cartwright Prospecting License, and the Essequibo PGGS Prospecting
Permit. The Company also holds the Tarakuli and contiguous Tarakuli North-West
Prospecting Licenses in Northeast Guyana. The Company's Bankable Feasibility
