2. Forward Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are not historical facts and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties beyond the
Company's control, including, but not exclusively, statements regarding potential mineralization,
exploration results, completion of work program and studies, and future plans and objectives of the
Company. Resource exploration, development and operations are highly speculative, characterized by
a number of significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and
knowledge may not eliminate, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from
the failure to discover mineral resources but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are
insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production.
Qualified Person: Mr Stephen R Maynard, M.S., C.P.G., has acted as the qualified person as defined in
National Instrument 43-101 for this disclosure and supervised the preparation of the technical
information in this release.

8. What is the Guerrero Gold Belt?
• The Guerrero Gold Belt (GGB) is becoming a world class district for
gold mineral exploration with over 21 million ounces discovered in
the last two decades within a 40 km trend.
• Geological characteristics of an emerging mining district
– BIG: Not one off deposits but multiple deposits that are unified by
common geological characteristics
– SYSTEMATIC: Processes that formed the deposits are part of the
same geological system
• If Big and Systematic, then you have a reasonable predictability and
higher probability of discovery

9. First Mover into GGB South
David M. Jones, Senior Geologist & Property Vendor for
Minaurum Gold Inc. developed the exploration model that
resulted in many of the Guerrero Gold Belt “GGB”
discoveries. GGB now totals over 21 million ounces.

17. Project Pipeline
Santa Marta Copper-Gold
New VMS District Discovery in
underexplored southern
Oaxaca
• Under option to Lowell Copper
(JDL:TSX.V) to acquire up to 70% interest
with exploration expenditures of $6M
within 3 years including a prefeasibility
study. Lowell is founded by J. David
Lowell who has discovered 15 large scale
mine discoveries including the Toromocho
and La Escondida copper deposits
• VMS Expert Dr. James Franklin noted that
based on his visual inspection, “Santa
Marta appears to be a major massive
sulfide deposit…It has all of the classic
features of highly productive deposits…”
17
Quartz-grain and clay-rich rock (white) on northwest side of
pit, with iron-oxide crust cap, interpreted as leached sulfiderich rock (massive sulfide). Could be an exhalative
silica cap on a VMS system. Iron-oxide crust
extends 700m to north on ridge top.
18. Santa Marta – Copper Gold VMS District
• Mine active in late 1960s, produced
50k-70k tons of oxide copper ore;
mine sampling averaged 1.7%
copper over 33 meters, with up to 2.0
g/t gold and 37 g/t silver.
• Geological setting similar to San
Nicolas and is a Noranda-like
sequence
• Recent sampling returned 1.1% Cu
over 25m in oxidized rock. Surface
sampling yielded up to 1.96 g/t Gold
and 11.54% Copper
• A mine-era sample of hand-sorted
mineralization reportedly contained
8.1% copper, 5.0 g/t Au, and 645 g/t
18 Ag.
Santa Marta Mine and dumps in middle, looking south-south
east. Ridge in foreground is covered by laterite-like ironoxide crust which commonly runs more than 0.1% Cu.
19. Santa Marta – Copper Gold VMS District
• Two Drill Targets:
• Stringer Zone- exposed both
laterally and vertically for
several hundred metres
along strike, mined
historically
• Massive Oxide-Silica zone –
overlies string zone, traced
for over 700m with average
thickness between 75-100m
• 2500m Drill Program planned:
• 13 Diamond Drill holes
totalling 2,500m

20. Upcoming News Catalysts
•
Vuelcos del Destino gold project
– 7,500m drilling program announcement once drill permits are complete
– Located 19km from Goldcorp’s Los Filos Mine
•
Adelita copper-gold project & Aurena gold project
– Further surface work is planned at both projects
– Adelita is located 2 kilometres west of Pan American Silver Corp.’s (TSX:
PAA) open pit Alamo Dorado silver mine and so far, results suggest the
Mezquital target is underlain by a large copper-molybdenum porphyry
system, in excess of fifteen square kilometres (see news release dated
May 31, 2012)
– Aurena is located in Oaxaca with an identified 1.8km gold zone open at
depth and along strike
•
Santa Marta Project
– Permitting is complete, with ongoing surface work for planned drill
program in Spring 2014
