Presentation
- 2. Forward Looking Statements Some of the statements contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties beyond the Company's control, including, but not exclusively, statements regarding potential mineralization, exploration results, completion of work program and studies, and future plans and objectives of the Company. Resource exploration, development and operations are highly speculative, characterized by a number of significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral resources but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. Qualified Person: Mr Stephen R Maynard, M.S., C.P.G., has acted as the qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 for this disclosure and supervised the preparation of the technical information in this release.

- 8. What is the Guerrero Gold Belt? • The Guerrero Gold Belt (GGB) is becoming a world class district for gold mineral exploration with over 21 million ounces discovered in the last two decades within a 40 km trend. • Geological characteristics of an emerging mining district – BIG: Not one off deposits but multiple deposits that are unified by common geological characteristics – SYSTEMATIC: Processes that formed the deposits are part of the same geological system • If Big and Systematic, then you have a reasonable predictability and higher probability of discovery 8
