Area of OperationFocus 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.

Pramkese Gold/Diamond Concession - Birim Region - Ghana.

Osenase Gold/Diamond Concession - Birim Region - Ghana.

Energy OpportunitiesProblems 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.

Page 10: Blox Inc Corporate Presentation OTCQB:BLXX Growth Through Innovation Pioneering the Development of Green Energy and Zero Waste for Responsible Mining with

www.bloxinc.com 10

Energy OpportunitiesOur 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.

Smart Energy OptionsRoll 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.

LNGFirst 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).

Smart TechnologyBlox, 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.

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.

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.
