Mansaya	Manalo Nord Est	Manalo Sud Est	Dialafara Nord	Current Exploration Program

Appleton Exploration Inc. is earning a 100% interest, subject to a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) Royalty, from Delta Exploration Inc. (“Delta”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rockgate Capital Corp. (RGT – TSX.V) in the Manalo Gold Project in the Republic of Mali, West Africa.

The road accessible Manalo project lies within the paleo Proterozoic Birimian Greenstone Belt of western Africa and consists of five contiguous exploration permits totalling 225 square kilometres. The main Manalo permit, originally 150 square kilometres, was downsized to 75 square kilometres and renewed December 2008. Delta immediately reapplied for the remaining ceded 75 square kilometres and the larger 70 square kilometre Mansaya permit was granted April 2010. The remaining 5 square kilometre Block 2 permit is in process of renewal. The Balandougou Permit totaling 93 square kilometres is in process of renewal and transfer to Delta Exploration Inc. as two blocks. The project lies 100 kilometres southwest of Bamako, the capitol, in southwestern Mali.

Delta Exploration Inc. has been exploring the Manalo project since 2004. Property wide airborne geophysics, property wide soil geochemistry and follow up ground geophysics have been conducted, which resulted in the discovery of six gold mineralized areas: Dialafara, Dialafara Nord, Manalo Nord E, Manalo Sud E, Mansaya and Sirabada. Delta completed 122 holes totaling12,941 metres of reverse circulation drilling with selected core tails and 37 holes totaling 2,738 metres of air core drilling.

Appleton has completed four drill program to date: May 2009, November 2009, March 2010 and June 2010. Most of the drilling has been directed at the Dialafara Zone as Appleton waited for the Malian Government to complete the renewal process on the Mansaya permit. Sixty-nine holes, totaling 8,285 metres of reverse circulation drilling with selected core tails and a further 162 holes totaling 8,392 metres of air core drilling were completed at Dialafara. Initial air core programs were completed at Sirabada and Mansaya in June 2010: 39 holes totaling 2,586 metres at Sirabada and 52 holes totaling 1,784 metres at Mansaya.

Key Drill Highlights From Manalo Drilling Programs To August 2010

Delta Exploration Inc. determined the Dialafara Zone to be a 3 kilometre, northwest trending zone consisting of two, steeply dipping quartz vein zones based on their initial 4,469 metre 40 drill hole programs in 2007 and 2008. s totalling 4,469 metres. The southernmost section had been drill tested along a length of 1,300 metres and to depth of approximately 85 metres. The northernmost zone is offset approximately 500 metres to the east and had been drill tested along a length of 520 metres to depth of 110 metres. Drill intersections to 29.1 gpt Au over 6 metres have been recorded from the vein zones and 15.64 gpt Au over 16 metres in a silicified meta-psammite. The Appleton drill programs have refined this interpretation, defining two mineralization segments within th Dialafara Zone: the Northern Segment and the Southern Segment.



The Sirabada zone consists of an area of extensive artisanal mine workings associated with intense clay alteration. Quartz veins and a pervasively seriticitized psammitic unit were intersected. A total of 2,335 metres were drilled in 21 holes to test gold-in-soil and chargeability anomalies. The results to date indicate gold is erratically distributed throughout the Sirabada zone. The best intersection was 2.61 gpt Au over 2 metres in MSB-08-013.

Manalo Nord Est consists of a northwesterly striking steep westerly dipping quartz vein zone that has been traced for a length of 500 metres before it trends off the Manalo property to the north. A total of 4,614 metres in 57 holes have tested the zone. Drill intersection highlights include: 18.48 gpt Au over 11 metres in MMN-06-029 and 12.06 gpt Au over 6 metres in MMN-07-012.

The Mansaya area consists of two gold-in-soil anomalous areas. A total of 905 metres in 9 holes were completed in the north zone. A meta-psammite horizon shows consistent quartz sericite alteration and 1-2% pyrite. Holes MMS-08-007 through MMS-08-012 intersected this horizon with the best intersection of 0.80 gpt Au over 20 metres in MMS-08-008, suggesting a possible bulk tonnage target. Eight holes totaling 774 metres were completed in the southern area, which is more a vein zone. MMS-08-018 returned 10.71 gpt Au over 3 metres, the best value from the 8 holes.

The northwesterly striking Manalo Sud Est quartz vein system has been traced 600 metres. Eleven holes totaling 1,057 metres were completed. The best intersection was 0.73 gpt Au over 5 metres from MSE-08-005.

A strong and persistent, northwesterly striking quartz vein system has been traced by quartz vein rubble crop for approximately 2 kilometres at Dialafara Nord. A total of 974.3 metres were drilled in a series of 8 holes. Drill intersections to 18.65 gpt Au over 1 metre have been recorded from this zone.
