FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

EASTMAIN INVESTOR PRESENTATION 2

Certain information set forth in this presentation may contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements consist of statements that are not purely historical, including statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or timing of future plans, and include, but not limited to, statements with respect to any potential director nominations, actions taken in respect

f director nominations received by Eastmain, actual results of current and future exploration activities at the

Company's properties, and the potential success of the Company’s future exploration and development

strategies. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, certain of which

are beyond the control of Eastmain, including, but not limited to he results of matters to be considered at the upcoming annual and special meeting of shareholders of Eastmain, the impact of general economic conditions, industry conditions, dependence upon regulatory approvals, the availability of financing, timely completion of proposed studies and technical reports, and risks associated with the exploration, development and mining industry generally such as economic factors as they affect exploration, future commodity prices, changes in interest rates, safety and security, political, social or economic developments, environmental risks, insurance risks, capital expenditures, operating or technical difficulties in connection with development activities, personnel relations, the speculative nature of gold exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities of grades of Mineral Resources, contests over property title, and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update such information, except as may be required by law.

Life Cycle

James Bay is one of the youngest camps in the Canadian shield

Exploration

Potential for many more discoveries as exploration advances

Development

Rapidly improved infrastructure to speed up pace of exploration

1. The production and reserve figure for James Bay Central Camp includes Eastmain’s resources as there are currently no reserves. 2. The Eastmain mine extracted 40,000 ounces in 1995. 3. Casa Berardi and

CLEARWATER

EAU CLAIRE MINERAL RESOUCE

EAU CLAIRE DEPOSIT

At least 4 mineralized orientations at Eau Claire
Deposit character:
High-grade “feeder veins” that crosscut an earlier-stage of mineralization
Feeder vein thickness ranges from <0.5 to 2.5 metres
Often contains multiple clusters of very-fine-grained gold particles
Gold occurs in basalt, volcaniclastic rocks and porphyry as vein and replacement zone;

Majority of the metal occurs within basalt host units

3D Modeling interprets mineralization as defined by structural and lithological controls
Resulting high confidence in Measured and Indicated mineral resources;

RESOURCE DRILLING

Closer-spaced drilling results in higher average grades and improved continuity
Drilling since 2011 focused on the upper 1/3 of the deposit to a vertical depth of 300 metres;
2012/2013 Drilling: a significant number of high-grade intercepts defined a “critical mass” that

may support future, ramp-accessible “mineable” gold resources

Vertical depth: from 100 to 300 metres down-plunge from the 450 West Zone surface

exposure
