Investor PresentationMay 2010
Version 3.1
DisclaimerThis presentation may contain forward‐looking statements concerning the Company’s plans for its properties, operations and other matters. These statements refer to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Statements concerning reserves and mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to be forward‐looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed and in the case of mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward‐looking statements”. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward‐looking statements. Forward‐looking statements are made based on management’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward‐looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances change. Investors are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward‐looking statements.

2010 Drilling Program
• 10,000m core drilling program
• Establish continuity of the key mineralized structures identified at Guaico-Nus and Guayabito
• Quantify size and gold potential
• Structural delineation at depth
• Test geophysical anomalies & photo interpretation targets
• Test new prospects identified in artisanal workings and surface exploration
2010 Drilling Program
• First 20 drill holes (2015m) have successfully intersected Guaico north-south structure and the Nus east-west structure.
• Awaiting results and interpretation for these holes, to put together a news release on the findings.
