No securities commission or regulatory authority has reviewed the accuracy or adequacy of the information presented.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation contains statements and information that constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, referred to herein as "forward‐looking statements", include statements regarding proposed exploration and development activities and their timing, resource estimates, exploration potential and the PEA, including estimates of capital and sustaining costs, anticipated internal rates of return, mine production, estimated recoveries, mine life, estimated payback period and net present values, opportunities to enhance the value of the Tuvatu Gold Project and other plans and objectives of the Company. In making the forward-looking statements herein, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including that (1) required approvals, permits and financing will be obtained; (2) the proposed exploration and development of the Company's properties will proceed as planned and that actual results will be consistent management’s expectations; (3) with respect to mineral resource estimates, the key assumptions and parameters on which such estimates are based; (4) market fundamentals will result in sustained metals and minerals prices; and (5) with respect to the PEA, the assumptions underlying the PEA, that the proposed mine plan and recoveries will be achieved, that capital costs and sustaining costs will be as estimated and that no unforeseen accident, fire, ground instability, flooding, labor disruption, equipment failure, metallurgical, environmental or other events that could delay or increase the cost of development will occur.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including: delays or inability to obtain required government or other regulatory approvals, permits or financing, the risk of unexpected variations in mineral resources, grade or recovery rates, of failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated, of accidents, labor disputes, and unanticipated delays in completing exploration and development activities, the risk that estimated costs will be higher than anticipated and the risk that the proposed mine plan and recoveries will not be achieved, bad weather, exploration and development risks, actual results of exploration and/or development activities being materially different from those expected by management; uncertainties related to interpretation of drill results and geological tests, failure to meet expenditure and financing requirements, title matters, third party consents, operating hazards, metal prices, political and economic factors, competitive factors and general economic conditions. Actual results may vary from those implied or projected by forward-looking statements and therefore investors should not place undue reliance on such statements. The forward-looking statements herein are made as at the date of this presentation and the Company expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by applicable securities legislation.

“In addition to the gold currently produced at Vatukoula, Emperor has identified a significant resource at Tuvatu,

also located on the island of Viti Levu, where operations are expected to begin as early as 1999 at a capacity of

more than 100,000 ounces of gold a year. The company is also continuing further exploration and is currently

evaluating the potential for a low-cost underground mine near Fiji’s international airport at Nadi.”

TUVATU ACQUISITION Tuvatu was in the development pipeline of Emperor Gold Mines when all of the Fijian assets of Emperor were acquired in 2008 by Red Lion Management; Red Lion subsequently sold the Emperor gold mine to Vatukoula Gold Mines and funded the acquisition of Tuvatu in a new company, Lion One Metals Limited, in 2011.
