CAUTIONARY NOTES AND DISCLAIMERS This presentation may contain forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, comments regarding the timing and content of upcoming work programs, geological interpretations, receipt of property titles, potential mineral recovery processes, and other related matters. Forward-looking statements address future events and conditions and therefore involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Rackla Metals Inc. projects in Canada are at an early stage and all estimates and projections are based on limited, and possibly incomplete, data. More work is required before the mineralization and the Projects’ economic aspects can be confidently modeled. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated in this presentation. No representation or prediction is intended as to the results of future work, nor can there be any promise that the estimates and projections herein will be sustained in future work or that the Project will otherwise prove to be economic. Qualified Person: Under the terms of NI43-101, Roger Hulstein, B.Sc., P.Geo. is Rackla‘s Qualified Person.

  • Mr. Hulstein has a B.Sc.degree in geology from Saint Mary’s University; 25 years of exploration and mining industry

experience and works mainly in Yukon, Alaska and Nevada. To date his career has included 7 years with Kennecott Canada Inc., one of the world's largest mining companies, as a project geologist on gold programs and as a principle in Aurum Geological Consultants Inc. for 7 years on a variety of exploration projects. Intrusion-related precious metal mineral deposits in North America are his primary focus. Mr. Hulstein is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia, and a "Qualified Person" in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. 2

  • 2. Thrust-related orogenic gold in

metamorphic rocks

  • Property has produced over 500k Oz Au

from placers since 1892- active placer mining area

  • RDU’s drilling in 2010/11 discovered

bedrock gold in 2 distinct areas

  • 5 holes cut broad zones of up to ±80m

Sixty Mile Porphyry

RAK is planning geophysics (IP), PIMA work on core to “vector” within the alteration system, and diamond drilling to follow

  • Drill holes DDH11-03, 04 and 05 cut a blind, unmapped, sericitically altered feldspar porphyry

body beneath river gravels

  • Porphyry contains disseminated pyrite and pyrite +/ chalcopyrite-molybdenite bearing

fractures and stockworks with silica-sericite alteration haloes

  • DDH11-03 averaged 380 ppm Cu over 294 m starting at 25.5m to EOH
  • Age of porphyry is similar to other Cu-Au-Ag mineralized systems identified in the Yukon
  • Bedrock sampling in the valley identified a northeast trending Cu anomaly (>350 ppm Cu)
  • ver an approximate 1.5 km by 0.4 km area
  • Project being reviewed by a major mining company interested in the Cu potential of the

porphyry
