Value Proposition
According to a recent analysis by BMO Capital Markets, the average North American market cap per
gold ounce of recoverable resources is $541. Applying this metric to PGLC’s measured and indicated
gold ounces of 463,000 would give the Company a market cap of $250.5 million or $0.92 per share,
representing upside of over 260%. PGLC gives investors an opportunity to invest in a company in a
stable mining jurisdiction (Nevada), low costs of production (processing plant on site, estimated
production cost of $700 per ounce), strong potential to add to current resources (excellent drill results
announced on 9/19/13, with mineralization open in all directions), leading to an estimated year 1 net
income of $30 million, which is equivalent to a 3.2x P/E at the current market price.

 Pershing Gold (PGLC) has consolidated a 39 square mile land package in mining-friendly Lovelock,
NV neighboring significant current and past producing mines. Nearby producing mines include Coeur
d’Alene’s (NYSE: CDE) bordering Rochester mine which has been producing for 30 years. Coeur
d’Alene Mines (NYSE: CDE), the largest U.S.-based silver producer with a market cap of ~$1.5 Billion,
has a current strategic investment in PGLC.
 Under Alfers’ leadership, PGLC has more than tripled its gold resource to 564,000 ozs. MI&I. More
importantly, this resource has been drilled out on just 3% of the land package and the resource report
shows “open mineralization in all directions.” Excellent 9/19/13 drilling results have the potential to
significantly expand PGLC’s resources.
 Estimated first year production of 50,000 ounces with a cost of production of $700 per ounce, which
leads to estimated net income of $30 million. PGLC’s goal is to begin production by early 2015.
 PGLC has a fully constructed mine, including a processing plant on-site, with most of the permits in
place to go back into production, hence it is not facing the significant CapEx required for many other
juniors.
 PGLC announced on August 12, 2013 that it raised ~$9 million through the sale of preferred stock
with a conversion price of $0.33 per share, near the current market level. As a result of this financing,
PGLC is now debt free and has ~$9.0 million in cash on the balance sheet.
