2. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
Forward Looking Information
This Presentation contains ‘‘forward-looking information’’ and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation.
Forward-looking information may include, but is not limited to, information with respect to the anticipated production and developments in our operations in future periods, our
planned exploration and development activities, the adequacy of our financial resources, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, realization of mineral reserves and
resource estimates, costs and timing of development of the projects we currently intend to acquire (the “Projects”), costs and timing of future exploration, results of future
exploration and drilling, timing and receipt of approvals, consents and permits under applicable legislation, our executive compensation approach and practice, the composition
of our board of directors and committees, and adequacy of financial resources. Wherever possible, words such as ‘‘plans’’, ‘‘expects’’ or ‘‘does not expect’’, ‘‘budget’’, ‘‘scheduled’’,
‘‘estimates’’, ‘‘forecasts’’, ‘‘anticipate’’, ‘‘believe’’, ‘‘intend’’ and similar expressions or statements that certain actions, events or results ‘‘may’’, ‘‘could’’, ‘‘would’’, ‘‘might’’ or
‘‘will’’ be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative forms of any of these terms and similar expressions have been used to identify forward-looking information. Statements
concerning mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking information to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be
encountered if the property is developed. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives,
assumptions or future events or performance are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is subject to a variety of
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information
including, without limitation, those risks identified in our Annual Information Form dated March 18, 2013 filed on SEDAR at www.Sedar.com and in the United States on Form
40-F through EDGAR at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such
information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Forward-looking information involves
statements about the future and is inherently uncertain, and our actual achievements or other future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the
forward-looking information due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, without limitation, those referred to in the Prospectus under the heading ‘‘Risk
Factors’’. Our forward-looking information is based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, and we do not assume any
obligation to update forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by applicable law. For the reasons
set forth above, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.
National Instrument 43-101
Technical and scientific information contained herein relating to the Projects is derived from National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) compliant technical reports (“Reports”)
“Mineral Resources Update Technical Report” dated November 20, 2012 and “Feasibility Study and Technical Report on the Brucejack Project, Stewart, BC” dated June 21, 2013.
We have filed the Reports under our profile at www.sedar.com. Technical and scientific information not contained within the Reports for the Projects have been prepared under
the supervision of Mr. Kenneth C. McNaughton, an independent “qualified person” under NI 43-101.
This presentation uses the terms “measured resources”, “indicated resources” (together “M&I”) and “inferred resources”. Although these terms are recognized and required by
Canadian regulations (under NI 43-101), the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do
not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political,
marketing, or other relevant issues. There is no guarantee that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted into mineral reserves.
In addition, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an
inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre
feasibility studies, or economic studies, except for a Preliminary Assessment as defined under NI 43-101. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred
resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

The June 2013 Feasibility Study will be amended using the December
Valley of the Kings Mineral Resource estimate (6)
(1) Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by
environmental, permitting, legal, marketing, or other relevant issues. The Mineral Resources in this news release were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining,
Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve
Definitions and adopted by CIM Council.
(2) The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred Resources as
an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource category.
(3) Contained metal figures and totals may differ due to rounding of figures.
(4) The Mineral Resource estimate stated in Table 1 is defined using 10 m by 10 m by 10 m blocks in the in Valley of the Kings.
(5) The gold equivalent value is defined as AuEq = Au + Ag/53.

Commercial relationships with local First
Nations during the exploration phase at
Brucejack have been mutually successful
Examples of Brucejack Project contracts with
First Nation development corporations
include camp construction, access road
maintenance, waste rock disposal
The proposed mine will provide
approximately 800 jobs during construction
and 500 jobs during operations
We will continue to extend both commercial
contract and employment opportunities to
locals whenever possible
