FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

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.

CLEARWATER - EAU CLAIRE GEOLOGY

SUMMARY

EAU CLAIRE DEPOSIT Gold mineralization is generally located within structurally-controlled, high-grade en-echelon quartz-tourmaline veins and adjacent altered rocks. The vein system is predominantly hosted within a thick sequence of massive and pillowed mafic volcanic flows, interbedded with narrow intervals of volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks. Both flows and sediments have been intruded by multiple phases of felsic and porphyry dykes. Host rocks have been folded and deformed (sheared) through several deformation events. The gold bearing veins may occur as thin fracture fill with tourmaline and develop along an easterly strike and a southerly dip (450W zone) into thick quartz-tourmaline veins with zoned tourmaline+/-actinolite+/-biotite+/-carbonate alteration halos which can measure up to several metres in thickness. 3D Modeling interprets mineralization as defined by structural and lithological controls

  • Resulting high confidence in Measured and Indicated mineral resources;

RESOURCE DRILLING Drilling since 2011 focused on the upper 1/3 of the deposit to a vertical depth of 400 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

CLEARWATER - SNAKE LAKE GEOLOGY

SUMMARY

Two types of gold mineralization at the Snake Lake Target 1) Similar to the Eau Claire deposit.

  • Quartz tourmaline veins are hosted within a thick sequence of basalt flows, tuffs and interbedded

metasedimentary rocks which have been intruded by felsic dykes.

  • As at Eau Claire, the entire sequence has been heavily deformed and sheared resulting in development
  • f a deformation zone with strong and extensive foliation and local shearing.

2) Significant zones of sulphide mineralization (pyrite, pyrrhotite, +/- arsenopyrite +/- chalcopyrite) are also reporting gold mineralization within the deformation zone.

EASTMAIN INVESTOR PRESENTATION ER:TSX www.Eastmain.com 27

EASTMAIN MINE PROJECT GEOLOGY

SUMMARY

  • The project is underlain by the Upper Eastmain River Greenstone Belt, which extends for 100 km in a

north-northeast direction in vicinity of the property. The belt consists of one or more cycles of mafic to felsic metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks surrounded by granite and granite gneiss, with ultramafic volcanic rocks (komatiite flows) being traced across the belt.

  • Gold mineralization is mainly contained in siliceous stratabound units containing 10 to 30% pyrrhotite,

pyrite and minor amounts of chalcopyrite.

  • The Eastmain Mine historic resource (A,B & C) is spatially associated within a major structural

deformation corridor, coinciding with strongly altered ultramafic volcanic rocks (komatiitic flows) intercalated with narrow lenses of felsic volcanic rocks within a thicker sequence of mafic volcanic flows

  • 4 high-grade target zones northwest of the Eastmain Gold deposit were identified by rock samples,

geophysics and drilling, in search of additional resources along the Mine Trend.

  • Hillhouse Target occurs 850 m northwest of the A and B Zones and consists of a 400 m long by

150 m wide area, containing anomalous rock samples with gold ranging from 0.5 to 39.5 g/t Au; silver ranging from 0.5 to 25.8 g/t Ag; and copper ranging from 0.1 to 2.4% Cu.

  • Julien Target is situated 1.7 km northwest of the A and B Zones. This target coincides with a

magnetic high in Mine Trend rocks extending for a length of 500 m. The Julien target has been defined by anomalous rock samples containing from trace to 27.2 g/t Au; trace to 28.8 g/t Ag; and from trace to 2.3% Cu.

  • Suzanna Target is situated 600 m west of and parallel to the Julien anomaly. This target extends

for a length of 375 m with anomalous rock assays ranging from 0.5 to 38.7 g/t Au, 0.5 to 26.6 g/t Ag and 0.1 to 3.06% Cu.

  • Michel Target is located 400 m north of the Suzanna anomaly and is defined by two clusters of

anomalous rock samples ranging from 0.5 to 125.1 g/t Au; 0.5 to 12.5 g/t Ag; and 0.1 to 1.08% Cu.

ÉLÉONORE SOUTH JV GEOLOGY

SUMMARY

The Eléonore South's prospective corridor is interpreted as a late-stage hydrothermal-magmatic mineralized system emplaced along the margins of the tonalite intrusion, close to, or at the contact with surrounding metasediments. These indicators of the hydro-thermal magmatic system include the presence of hydrothermal breccia, sheeted veins, extensive pervasive alteration, no specific deformation zone related to alteration/mineralization, etc.
