8. Los Azules – Regional Advantage
• Los Azules is 6 km east of the Chilean-Argentine border.
• The deposit is located on a copper porphyry belt host to some of the world's largest copper mines
including Codelco's El Teniente mine (world's largest underground copper mine), Anglo
American's Los Bronces mine, Antofagasta's Los Pelambres mine and Xstrata's El Pachón
project.

10. Los Azules - Back-in Right Restored
On November 12, 2012 a resolution was reached pertaining to the Los Azules property,
until further details are released more information can be found in the latest press
release: http://www.tnrgoldcorp.com/s/NewsReleases.asp?ReportID=557156
Highlights of the settlement
1.
The settlement restores a 25% back-in right to TNR which is exercisable following the completion of a
feasibility study*. The back-in right allows TNR to back-in for 25% of the northern part of the Los
Azules property, which McEwen Mining has said contains the largest share of the known resource at
Los Azules.
2.
TNR receives an industry standard Net Smelter Royalty of 0.6%. This Net Smelter Royalty is over the
northern portion of the property and is triggered if TNR chooses to back in for 5% or less or is diluted
below 5%.
3.
TNR receives 1 million shares in McEwen Mining.
4.
TNR will transfer to McEwen Mining the mineral rights to Escorpio IV and this property will become
subject to the back-in right as well
* TNR will retain their Back-in Right for up to 25% of the equity in certain claims comprising the northern portions of Los
Azules. The Back-in Right is exercisable after the completion of a bankable feasibility study. To exercise TNR must pay
two (2) times the expenses attributable to the back-in percentage (ie. paying 2 x 25% all of the costs attributable to the
claims comprising the northern portion of the property). Upon backing-in, TNR may elect to continue to participate in the
project or be diluted down to a 0.6% NSR on the same claims comprising the northern portion of the project.
11. Los Azules – Settlement
Los Azules Copper Property Lawsuit Against McEwen Mining Settled TNR's
25% Right To Back-in At Feasibility Restored
Kirill Klip, Non-Executive Chairman of TNR Gold, stated, "I welcome the positive
resolution of the Los Azules litigation in the out of court settlement between TNR Gold
and McEwen Mining. I would like to personally thank Rob McEwen as this resolution is a
highly beneficial outcome for both our companies. Removing the uncertainty over the
rights to Los Azules will allow the project to now achieve its full potential for the benefit of
the shareholders of both TNR Gold and McEwen Mining, and I consider our stake in
McEwen Mining as a strategic holding for TNR Gold.” (TNR Gold Press Release November 12, 2012)
“This is a very positive development for McEwen Mining, TNR Gold and the Province of
San Juan, Argentina. It allows us to accelerate and expand the magnitude of our
exploration effort. With this legal obstacle behind us, we are now embarking on the largest
drill program in the project’s history. We are excited by the potential of growing the size of
this world-class copper asset”, said Rob McEwen, Chief Owner (McEwen Mining Press Release
November 12, 2012)

12. Los Azules - Highlights
•
Los Azules is one of the world's largest undeveloped copper deposits.
•
McEwen Mining began a 15,000 meter drill program starting in October 12, 2012
•
The property encompasses 50,933 acres and surrounds a large alteration zone that
contains the resource which measures approximately 4 kilometers long by 1.5 kilometers
wide.

* The Shotgun Ridge prospect contains an inferred mineral resource of 20,734,313 tonnes at 1.06 grams per tonne (“g/t”) for a total of 705,960
ounces gold (“Au”) using a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off. The inferred mineral resource estimate was prepared by Allan Armitage, PhD., P.Geol., of
GeoVector Management Inc., a Qualified Person as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining (CIM) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources
and Mineral Reserves and the National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
The Shotgun Zone mineral resource estimate, publicly reported on April 22, 2013, is based on 34 diamond drill holes (NQ) totalling 4,932.3
metres, with 2,481 assays (0.2 up to 10 metres in length). Holes were drilled by several operators in five drill campaigns conducted between
1984 and 2012. The 34 drill holes are spaced primarily 40 to 100 metres apart in an area of approximately 375 x 300 metres. The drill holes
tested mineralization to a vertical depth up to 150 metres.
A resource model for the Shotgun Zone was constructed based on the distribution of the gold mineralization (> 0.3 to 0.5 g/t Au) and this model
was used to constrain the composite values chosen for interpolation. A block model with block dimensions of 5 x 5 x 5 metres in the x, y and z
directions was placed over resource model solids with only that proportion of each block below the topographic/overburden surface and inside
the solid recorded.
Grades for gold were interpolated into the blocks by the inverse distance squared (“ID2”) method using a minimum of 2 and maximum of 12
composites to generate block grades in the Inferred resource category. The search ellipse used to interpolate grade into the blocks measured
110 x 60 x 110 (Principle Az – 235°, Principle Dip - 25°, Intermediate Az.- 325°). The size and orientation of the search ellipse approximates the
strike, dip and thickness of the resource model and takes into account the limited drilling and relatively wide spacing of the drilling.
There are currently no known encumbrances with regards to legal, political, environmental or other risks that could materially affect the
potential development of the Shotgun Ridge prospect, and however, the EPA is conducting an environmental review of the Bristol Bay
watershed in response to the proposed development of the Pebble Deposit, approximately 150 kilometres to the southeast of Shotgun Ridge.
The mineral resources reported herein are classified as inferred mineral resources according the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources
and Mineral Reserves. No economic studies were undertaken on this mineral resource estimate and it should be noted that mineral resources
are not mineral reserves and there is no guarantee that the current mineral resource at Shotgun Ridge will result in an economically viable
deposit.
