HISTORICAL EXPLORATION RESULTS … continued
• 2007, Kerrich compares to Quinlin mesothermal gold province in China
• 1997, Larson compares to Santa Fe Gold’s (New Gold) Mesquite Mine
• Mesquite has 200’ vertical gold zone | Gold Basin > 800’ vertical zone
• Mesquite is simple deposit of about 5 million ounces compared to GBMD
• Gold Basin is larger, more complex, better host rocks, yet very similar
• Larson report concludes GBMD should develop greater gold reserves
