- This presentation is not NI 43 101 or JORC compliant. The economic analysis contained in this presentation is based Russian C1 to P2 reserves and resources. Investors should be particularly cautious in relying on P1
and P2 resources. P1 and P2 resources are considered too geologically speculative to have mining and economic considerations applied to them and to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the reserves development, production and economic forecasts on which the preliminary assessment is based will be realized.. The terms “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are Australian mining terms as defined in accordance with The Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the "JORC Code") as published by the Australian Joint Ore Reserves Committee and are compliant with Australian securities
- laws. These definitions differ from the definitions in Industry Guide 7 (“Industry Guide 7”) under the U.S. Securities Act. Under Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, a three
year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by the JORC Code; however, these terms are not defined terms under Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under the Australian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre feasibility studies, except in rare
- cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained kilo tones” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Australian
regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report Mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. U.S. Securities Law Disclaimer

exceptions, may not be offered or sold within the United States.

Favorable mining and tax legislation in Russia
- Favorable taxation:
– 6 % royalty – 20 % profit tax – 13 % flat personnel income tax – Accelerated depreciation of equipment and regional allowances for property tax
- Gold is not a “strategic asset” in Russia:
– 30 % of gold is produced by international companies – Kinross (Canada) is 2nd largest gold producer, Petropavlovsk (UK) is the 3rd, Polimetal (UK), NordGold (UK) are in top five
- 6-12 months to get production permits
- 300-450 USD/oz production cash cost for peers within
the Lena Goldfields
- Qualified and loyal personnel
- Strong support from local authorities
- Great exploration potential in the world largest country
barely covered with modern exploration techniques
