Magellan Minerals is advancing its Coringa gold project in Brazil towards production. The project currently has a resource of 269,000 ounces of gold in the measured and indicated categories and 98,000 ounces in inferred. Magellan plans to complete a feasibility study in 2014 and make a construction decision for an underground mine at Coringa. The company also holds the Cuiu Cuiu project which has over 1.2 million ounces of gold in inferred resources across two deposits and the potential to be a large gold district. Magellan is led by a proven management team with extensive experience exploring and developing projects in Latin America.

* Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Please note that all figures have been rounded to reflect their
appropriate level of accuracy.
* These resources are constrained by mineable shapes and cut-off grades to meet the requirement that resources must have reasonable prospects for economic
extraction. The mineable shapes are either Lerch-Grossman pits or conceptual underground stopes. Resources falling within the pits are reported at cut-off grades
18 of 0.3 gpt Au for fresh rock or 0.4 gpt Au for saprolite. Stope shapes only include blocks above a cut-off grade of 1.3 gpt Au. The cut-off grades consider a gold
price of $1,250 per ounce and metallurgical recoveries of 91% for fresh rock and 66% for saprolite.
