June 2013
2. Disclaimer
Some statements in this presentation contain forward-looking information. We have identified such statements with as asterisk for your ease of identification of
forward looking-information. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the expected benefits from having a management team
seeking to aggressively grow the Company into a mid tier gold producer through the exploration and development of existing assets, the completion of
the acquisition of a significant interest in the Eagle Mountain Project and the development potential of the Company's properties. Specifically, any statements
regarding the potential increase of the Company’s inferred resource at the Eagle Mountain Project and the goals and objectives of the Company are by their
nature forward looking information. These statements address future events and conditions and, as such, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by the statements.
General risk factors and assumptions include, among others, the effects of general economic conditions, the price of gold and other metals, changing foreign
exchange rates and actions by government authorities, uncertainties associated with legal proceedings and negotiations, competition for resources, and
misjudgements in the course of preparing forward-looking information.
Specific risk factors include risks associated with the ability obtain any necessary approvals, waivers, consents and other requirements necessary or desirable to
permit or facilitate the development of the Company’s properties, the risk that any applicable conditions of the acquisition of an interest in the Eagle Mountain
Project may not be satisfied, risks associated with project development; the need for additional financing; operational risks associated with exploration activities
and results, mining and mineral processing; environmental liability claims and insurance; reliance on key personnel; the potential for conflicts of interest among
certain officers, directors or promoters of the Company with certain other projects; the volatility of the Company’s common share price and volume; tax
consequences; and other risks and uncertainties.

• NI 43-101 resource starting at surface:
o Indicated resource of 188,000 ounces of gold @ 1.49 g/t (0.5 g/t cut off) and
o Inferred resource of 792,000 ounces of gold @ 1.19 g/t (0.5 g/t cut off).
• Management believes:
o Grade is profitable.
• IAMGOLD’s Rosebel mine in neighbouring Suriname profitably producing 385,000
ounces per year @ 1.0 g/t from five open pits to date, with three additional pits to be
mined (> 13 million oz reserves & resources).
• The Omai gold mine in Guyana produced 3.7 million+ ounces @ ~1.4 g/t (1993 to 2005).
• Timmins Gold produced ~25,000 ounces of gold in Q3 2012 @ 0.88 g/t (annual forecast
~100,000 ounces ) from its San Francisco gold mine in Mexico, profiting $945 per ounce.
o Several open pits will feed a central processing facility.
• Proven approach. Example: Yanacocha in northern Peru, the largest gold producer in
Latin America and one of the world’s largest gold mines (over 26-million ounces
produced since 1993), produces in this way.

Historical & Current Drilling Shown
15. Eagle Mountain 2012 Resource Outline
(NI 43-101 Technical Report filed at SEDAR in Jan 2013)
INDICATED Mineral Resource:
In both saprolite (oxide) and “fresh”
(non-oxidized) rock, it is 3,921,000
tonnes at 1.49 g/t gold for 188,000
ounces gold.
INFERRED Mineral Resource:
Hosted by saprolite and non-
oxidized rock, it is 20,635,000 tonnes
at 1.19 g/t gold for 792,000 ounces
gold.
No statistical relationship between
weathering and grade is observed,
therefore relatively consistent Au
grade throughout the deposit.
Management is of the opinion that
the oxide ore is sufficient to support
a 35,000 to 45,000 oz per annum
operation for 1st Phase
development – no milling required,
i.e., low power requirements (major
element in future operating costs).
This will be the target for our coming
Scoping Study.*
