2. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT
2
No stock exchange, securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved the information contained on this presentation. This presentation contains "forward-
looking information" concerning Pinecrest Resources (“Pinecrest “ or the “Company”) future financial or operating performance and other statements that express management's
expectations or estimates of future developments, circumstances or results. Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as
“seeks”, "believes", "anticipates", "plans", “continues”, "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "expects", "forecasts", "intends", “projects”, “predicts”, “proposes”, "potential", “targets” and
variations of such words and phrases, or by statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "will", "could", "would", “should” or "might" "be taken", "occur" or "be achieved".
Forward-looking statements included in this presentation include statements regarding potential mineralization and mineral resources, the potential development scenarios for the various
Gold-Silver Projects, including information with respect to the supporting infrastructure, the potential life of mine, rates of production and the effects of steps taken to mitigate local
impacts and the expected completion dates of exploration and drilling, exploration results, estimated and future exploration and administration expenditures, the timing and results of
preliminary economic assessments, other development studies, and future plans and objectives of Pinecrest. While all forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties,
these statements are based on certain assumptions that management of Pinecrest believes are reasonable, including that it will be able to obtain financing and on reasonable terms, that
its current exploration and other objectives can be achieved, that its exploration and other activities will proceed as expected, that its community and environmental impact procedures
will work as anticipated, that general business and economic conditions will not change in a material adverse manner, that Pinecrest will not experience any material accident, labour
dispute or failure or shortage of equipment, and that all necessary government approvals for its planned exploration and potential development activities will be obtained in a timely
manner and on acceptable terms. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from
those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Pinecrest’s expectations include, among others, the actual results of
current exploration activities being different than those anticipated by Pinecrest, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, changes in estimated mineral resources,
future prices of metals, increased costs of labor, equipment or materials, availability of equipment, failure of equipment to operate as anticipated, accidents, effects of weather and other
natural phenomena, risks related to community relations and activities of stakeholders, and delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing. Although Pinecrest has attempted to
identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no
assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should
not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Pinecrest does not intend, and expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking
information or statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
PEA Disclosure
The NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have
the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the Preliminary Economic
Assessment will be realized. The Enchi Gold Project PEA Technical Report is available on SEDAR and was prepared by Joanne Robinson P.Eng of WSP Canada a
professional independent mining engineer registered in Canada and a QP as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do
not have demonstrated economic viability.
This presentation is not an offer to purchase securities and does not constitute an offering document under Securities legislation.
Mr. Gregory Smith, P.Geo, the President and CEO of the Company, is the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, and has prepared and approved the technical data and information in

16. ENCHI MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE (2015)
The April 2015 Mineral Resource estimate was based on 52,385 metres of diamond and RC drilling in 646 holes as well as data from 13,799 metres in 102 surface trenches. The
drilling is spaced at 25 to 50 metre intervals
1. CIM definition standards were followed for the resource estimate.
2. The April 2015 resource models used ordinary kriging (OK) grade estimation within a three-dimensional block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids.
3. A base cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au was used for reporting resources with a capping of gold grades at 18 g/t.
4. A US$1,300/ounce gold price, open pit with heap leach operation was used to determine the cut-off grade.
5. A density of 2.45 g/cm3 was applied.
6. Numbers may not add exactly due to rounding.
7. Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have economic viability.
