FORWORD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statement, other than statements of historical fact, included herein including, without limitation, statement regarding anticipated completion of engineering studies, potential results of drilling and assays, timing of permitting, construction and production and other milestones, and Marifil's future operating or financial performance are forward-looking statements. Estimates of reserves and resources area also forward-looking statements in that they involve estimates

  • f the mineralization that would be encountered, based on interpretation of drilling results and certain

assumptions, if a deposit were developed and mined. Forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Marifil's expectations include financing in the debt and capital markets; uncertainties involved in the interpretation of drilling results and geological tests and the estimation of reserves and resources; the need for cooperation of government agencies and Native groups in the development of Marifil's properties; the need to obtain permits and governmental approvals; risks of operations such as accidents, equipment breakdowns, bad weather, non-compliance with environmental and permit requirements, unanticipated variation in geological structures, ore grades or recovery rates; unexpected cost increases, fluctuations in metal prices and currency exchange rates, and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in Marifil's Annual Information Form for the current year, filed with the Canadian securities and regulatory authorities, and in other Marifil reports and documents filed with applicable securities and regulatory authorities from time to time. Marifil's forward-looking statements reflect the beliefs, opinions and projections on the date the statements are made. Marifil assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements of management beliefs, opinions, or other factors should they changes.

LAS AGUILAS WORK PROGRESS

Several high profile mining companies have performed drilling at the Ni-Cu-Co deposit

24

In 2003 BHP-Billiton World Exploration Inc. optioned the Las Aguilas property and did many different technical surveys plus drilling 22 diamond drill core holes for 6,842 meters at a cost of

  • approx. US$2 million.

Between 1970 and 1986 a branch of the Argentine government akind to the Geological Survey called Fabricaciones Militares (FM) spent approx. US$6.5 million exploring the Las Aguilas zone. That included 45 diamond drill core holes for 9,800 meters of drilling. In 1999 Western Mining Corporation (WMC) optioned Las Aguilas from Marifil and spent over US$600,000 on an airborne geophysical survey. They did not drill. In 2007 Castillian Resources

  • Corp. did 79 diamond drill core

holes for 12,857 meters and spent approx. US$6 million. In 2013 Castillian changed its name to Costal Gold Corp. In 2011 Pacific Coast Nickel commissioned a 43-101 report completed by Wardrop (a Tetra Tech Company) and produced a resource calculation that Marifil uses today. The cost is unknown.
