Certain statements in this document constitute “forward looking statements” which may not be based on historical fact. Such forward looking statements involve known and unknown risk, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: actual results of exploration and development activities; the estimation or realization of mineral reserves and resources; the timing and the amount of future production; the costs and timing of the development of new deposits; future prices of precious and base metals; accidents; risks inherent in mineral exploration; risks associated with development, construction and mining operations; restrictions on foreign ownership; the Company’s history of operating losses and uncertainty of future profitability; uncertainty of access to additional capital; environmental liability claims and insurance; and dependence on joint venture partners.

  • 1. Mineral resources were classified following the guidelines of the JORC Code (2012) an accepted reporting code in terms of Canadian National Instrument 43-101.
  • 2. Mineral resources are constrained within a Whittle pit shell based on a gold price of US$1,400/oz.
  • 3. Numbers may not compute due to rounding.
  • 4. All grades have been quoted in grams per tonne (g/t) for the resource inventory.
  • 5. Density values were assigned in relation to an oxide surface; no further distinction between fresh and oxide material has been made within this resource estimate.
  • 6. There are no known legal, political, environmental or other risks that could materially affect the potential development of these mineral resources

*The NI43-101 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 assessment will be realized. The Corcoesto Gold Project PEA Technical Report dated Dec 30, 2011 was prepared by Alan Noble, P.E., of Ore Reserves Engineering Inc., a professional independent mining engineer registered in the State of Colorado, USA and a QP as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. **The Spanish corporate tax rate is 30%, but the impact of taxes on the project would be much less after allowances for depreciation, and structure of the local and international corporations. *Slide 09 includes the updated NI 43-101 resource estimate, the PEA economic details use the older (2011 resource estimate for these PEA calculations)

  • 1. CIM definition standards were followed for the resource estimate.
  • 2. The 2012 resource models used ordinary kriging (OK) grade estimation within a three-dimensional block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids.
  • 3. A base cutoff grade of 0.7 g/t Au was used for reporting resources with a capping of gold grades at 18 g/t.
  • 4. A density of 2.45 g/cm3 was applied.
  • 5. Numbers may not add exactly due to rounding.
  • 6. Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have economic viability
