Area of Operation
Focus on West Africa.
Unparalleled growth potential across all facets of the economy.
West Africa is the fourth most populous "state" after China, India and the
United States.
With a population of 340-million, West Africa represents 29.4% of Africa's
total population.
The combined states that form West Africa have a total GDP of US$675bn making them part of the 21st richest region on the planet.
Regional GDP is set to grow by 7.1% next year.
With huge reserves of natural resources, opportunities to establish alternate
power generation and a hunger for the latest technology, West Africa is a
prime target for investment with a bright future of potentially high returns.

Energy Opportunities
Problems often present opportunities and solutions create potential
income.
The ECOWAS region has enormous energy resources but only a
small percentage is utilised.
The rate of access to electricity is the lowest in the world and prices
are high in real terms.
Bulk power consumers in mining and industry face intermittent
electricity supply which adversely effects production and
profitability.
Blox Energy is currently targeting this shortfall between energy
supply and demand in ECOWAS and conducting ongoing research.
www.bloxinc.com
9
Energy Opportunities
Our approach is to identify, quantify and understand the energy
market in ECOWAS. This process is already underway.
Then allocate future mining income streams to developing Smart
Energy solutions for the region.
Partner with suitable international and domestic companies and
organizations to implement and commission new Smart Power
generation sites.
Combine our own investment with North American investment to
fund these projects and establish potential royalty income from
Smart Energy supply in ECOWAS.
www.bloxinc.com
10
Smart Energy Options
Roll out of future projects in phases, funded by cash flow and
potential joint venture equity.
Smart Energy requires research and development.
Existing US-based NGOs dedicated to the research, development,
commercialization, and deployment of renewable energy and energy
efficiency technologies.
Blox, Inc. will form the link between the US technology and the end
user in ECOWAS.
Smart Energy includes biogas, hydro, geothermal, solar, wind and
hydrogen. Also energy conservation such as insulation and more
efficient lighting solutions.
www.bloxinc.com
11
LNG
First step will be to employ already available cleaner and more
economical energy to establish cash flow for future R&D.
First potential option is Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
Can be used to replace diesel in a number of applications in
addition to power generation. These include domestic heating and
cooking, road transport and shipping.
LNG produces around 20% less Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions
than diesel, almost 100% less Sulphur Oxide (SOx) and metal
particulates (PM) and 90% less Nitrogen Oxide (NOx).
Despite using 1.6-times the volume of diesel to recover the same
amount of energy (Joules), LNG is up to 60% cheaper than diesel
(subject to jurisdictional excises and levies).

12
Smart Technology
Blox, Inc. is currently investigating a substantial mineral sands deposit in
West Africa.
This sand has a multitude of potential applications and end-user markets.
One prospective application in the separation of the Silica content for use in
the production of cutting-edge photovoltaic cells for solar energy.
Can be used in the production of decorative Granite tiles using new
European technology, manufactured in West Africa.
One component of the mineral sands can be processed and used as a highly
effective, low cost, fertilizer – ideal for increasing domestic agricultural
output.
Integration of mineral sands and Smart Technology is within our mission
guidelines and has the potential to yield another stream of ongoing royalties.

and minimizing waste with its internal systems.
Developing bespoke software solutions to streamline and save
costs associated with regulatory reporting.

which was specifically written for the mining industry and has
already been used in West Africa.
www.bloxinc.com
14

and expand our operations, just as a conventional resource-based
company would.
Regulatory – transfers and maintenance of concessions.

may not be easy to come by.

the face of a fluctuating gold spot price.

Why Blox?
Blox, Inc. is unlike most resource-based companies in that it has a
philosophy to improve the way mining is carried out from a social,
environmental and economic perspective.
We are currently focused on our Mansounia concession in Guinea,
with a view to going into production in the medium term.
Blox, Inc. is committed to improving the lives of those who live in
the vicinity of our operations by helping them to benefit from the
diverse range of resources that may exist on site.
Our philosophy of contentment economics for all stakeholders
means lifestyle, financial and environmental benefits for all.
www.bloxinc.com
22
Why Blox?
There is an 'A' in TEAM and it stands for Africa.
As a US company, Blox, Inc. has chosen to concentrate its
operations in West Africa due to the region's immense potential for
growth and its long established track record for world class natural
resources.
From a pure business perspective, this makes perfect sense –
especially given the experience of our team in this region.
Compared to the Western world, Africa offers lower labor rates and
potentially lower capital and operating costs. Financially, that
translates to greater margins and higher profitability.
Join us and let us help you to make a difference in the world.
This is just the BEGINNING.
