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.
Eagle Mountain is in the exploration stage only and is without a known body of commercial ore. An increase in the current inferred resource will only occur if
favourable exploration results are obtained. The business of exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk.
Any forward-looking information contained in this presentation is based on the geological interpretation of results obtained from exploration activities conducted
on the Company’s properties to date, including geological and geophysical surveys, sampling and mapping programs and drilling results. Results are interpreted
by the Company’s management and staff and future programs and plans are formulated based on such interpretations. In making statements that contain
forward-looking information, management assumes that the results are accurate and will be verified by independent examination, that in country conditions and
in the state of the financial markets remain somewhat constant and that management has the technical and financial capability and expertise to achieve the
Company’s growth plans. Forward-looking statements are made based on management's beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date that statements are made

activities, results achieved and future plans. In the event management forsees or experiences material changes to the Company’s business and future plans, it will
update forward looking statements accordingly

8. Guyana
• Consistently stable economy and political climate.
• Elected government has followed a policy of economic liberalization,
promotes foreign investment.
• Long history of successful foreign investment in country’s mining
sector.
• British-based law and robust mining law protects foreign investment.
• One of the friendliest mining regimes in the world.

9. Guyana: Track Record of Successful Production
and Operations
• Omai gold mine: Produced over 3.7 million ounces grading
~1.4 g/t gold from 1993 to 2005.
• Guyana Goldfields Aurora project: 6.54 million measured and
indicated ounces (open pit and underground).
• Sandspring Resources: Advancing multi-million ounce Toroparu gold-
copper deposit toward potential large-scale production in 2015.
• Azimuth Resources West Omai project: 1.22 million inferred ounces.
• 20 to 25 Canadian juniors exploring for various commodities in
Guyana.
• Major mines in bauxite industry.
9
10. Eagle Mountain: Proposed Production Tiers
Phase • Production of 35,000 to 45,000 ounces –
significant cash-flow will bolster treasury
1a with no dilution.
Phase • Increase to 60,000 to 75,000 ounces –
expansion with low capital investment.
1b
• 120,000+ ounces – additional capital
Phase 2 investment required.
10
11. Eagle Mountain: Work Completed to Date
• Advanced 5,050-hectare gold project with near-term production
potential.
• 281 holes drilled totaling 35,993 metres.
o 78 drill holes (~11,000 metres) completed by Eagle Mountain.
o Remaining holes completed by predecessors including IAMGOLD.
• Known resource covers only 250 hectares inside the 5,050-hectare
property.
o Deposit remains open in three lateral directions and at depth.
• Excellent historical database (geophysics, adits, extensive sampling,
auger drilling, LIDAR, etc.).
• ~$15 million spent on exploration work at Eagle Mountain to date.
11
12. Strategic Partnership with IAMGOLD
• Company’s current ownership of Eagle Mountain property: 50%.
• Additional 45% can be acquired from IAMGOLD for $1 million cash,
equivalent shares or a combination of both – at the option of Eagle
Mountain until April 2013.
• Government of Guyana owns remaining 5%, typically transforming to
a royalty.
• Value of deal: $11.5 million or $15 per compliant ounce (at time of
deal – Oct 2010).
12
13. Eagle Mountain: Current (2012) Resource
• 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.
• 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.

14. Eagle Mountain: 2011 Drilling Highlights
• 78 holes completed for a total of 10,850 metres
• Program included both infill and step-out diamond drilling holes.
• The program was designed to:
o Move part of the geological resource from inferred to indicated.
o Expand the total amount of ounces.
o Test and improve the geological model over specific deposit areas.
