NEAR SURFACE EPITHERMAL DEPOSIT
• Shallow, open pit mineable target
• Measured & Indicated resource:
223,300 ounces of gold; 3,784,400
ounces of silver
• All 131 Cibolan Gold’ drill holes
encountered mineralization
• Strike length of over 3,000 feet and
depth of 400 feet
• Cibolan Gold is on track to
complete a Preliminary Economic
Assessment by the end of 2015

DEEP SKARN DEPOSIT
• High-grade, gold rich deep
underground target
• From a limited number of drill
holes, an Inferred resource of
796,000 ounces of gold already
has been established
• Zone of mineralization is more
than 1,400 feet wide and 3,400
feet long
• Potential for multi-million ounce
gold resource

GOLD COPPER PORPHYRY TREND
• Underlies the Independence Project’s deep skarn target
• One deep drill hole intercepted 2 oz/t gold
• This zone appears to be part of the highly prolific Battle
Mountain-Eureka Trend, responsible for 23 million ounces
of historic gold production
• The Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend could contain even
greater resource potential than the parallel running Carlin
Trend, which has produced over 180 million ounces of gold
• Cibolan Gold is planning to conduct additional deep drilling
that could substantially expand the Independence Project’s
resource base
15. OTC:CIB
G
www.Nevada-Goldmine.com
WHY NOW
Cibolan recently undertook a fresh review of the data
• Why: Identify targets where we can mine 4 to 5 million tons
grading 0.05 ounces per ton to put on the preliminarily
engineered leach pad
• Incorporate known data from other properties in area
• Focused on near surface, near term production opportunities
16. OTC:CIB
G
www.Nevada-Goldmine.com
WHAT’S NEW
Results of the Review
• Identified range front fault system along western edge of current drilling
• Several holes with multi ounce intercepts drilled west of the fault
• Tenth ounce or greater intercepts in other holes were on trend
• Identified other targets on the property – including High Grade NE Structural Zone
• Designed drilling plan to expand current resources; potentially identify up to 2.0
million tons averaging up to 0.30 ounce per ton (20 times our current average grade)
Recommendations
• Re-examine geologic model in current resource area – focus on structural controls,
emphasize high-grade potential
• Evaluate Range Front system by drilling additional core and reverse circular holes
• Evaluate other identified targets areas with further mapping, sampling and drilling
• Complete PEA using revised geologic model resulting form Range Front and other
target drilling

The Company cautions that it has not demonstrated that it will be economically viable to build and operate a mine at the Independence Project and that it is not in a position at this time to make, nor has it made, a production
decision. Accordingly, there is a significant risk that the Company will not be able to economically build or operate a mine at the Independence and that it will not therefore, make a decision to commence the building of a mine
at the Independence. Even if a production decision is made, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to build a mine at the Independence within the projected timeframe, or at all.
