April 2013 INVESTOR PRESENTATION

Gold producer focused on organic growth in the Philippines

Un-hedged, low cost gold producer focused on organic growth in the Philippines

5 year, 2-phase growth path to production of 400,000 ounces per year underpinned by strong cash flow from Co-O Mine (narrow vein underground)

Targeted production: FY 2013 (revised): 70,000 to 80,000 ounces at cash costs circa US$290 per ounce FY 2014: 200,000 ounces at cash costs circa US$220 per ounce FY 2015: 200,000 ounces at cash costs circa US$230 per ounce

Total Mineral Resources now in excess of 3 million ounces

Conceptual exploration target size** of Co-O Mine of 3 to 7 million ounces

Excellent exploration upside (820 km2 of tenement): high grade vein and disseminated bulk gold targets, plus nine copper targets exploration budget for FY 2013 of US$25M

SNAPSHOT OF MEDUSA

** The potential exploration target size and grade of the Co-O Mine is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource. It is also uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being defined as a mineral resource.
