Corporate Presentation Summer 2012

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.

The 15 Million Ounce “Guerrero Gold Belt”
• The Guerrero Gold Belt (GGB) is becoming a world class district
for gold mineral exploration with over 15 million ounces
discovered in the last two decades within a 60 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
• May 4th 2012, Torex Gold announces increase at Morelos to 4.8
million ounces gold, pushing GGB close to 16 million ounces
