Strategy and Approach

“Successful gold exploration begins in the best mining camps”

Focus on areas in the developed world which are• mining friendly • where there is good infrastructure

Mitigate risk through collaboration / deal structure

7


History

In 2006 sold South African assets to focus on the leading gold camps of North America.

Until funds were received from South African asset disposals, company was reliant on internally generated funds.

Exploration commitments have been farmed out under claw-back arrangements and option agreements, or funded through organic cash generation.

Developments since 2008 – Canada & USA

Initiated acquisitions in Red Lake, Ontario in Nov 2009:• Dome property option* – 1,344 acres (Nov 2009), • McManus property option* – 803 acres (Dec 2010)• Alcourt property option – 250 acres (Mar 2011)

(*Now referred to collectively as Expanded Dome Properties)

In early 2011, acquired 100% ownership of Expanded Dome Properties.

9


Red Lake - Canada

Initiated collaboration with Duncan Park in March 2010 to develop Dome properties.

Duncan Park has option on 75% of Dome Properties.

Duncan Park to spend up to C$2.1m ($925,000 on Dome already spent) and ($1.2M on McManus) over 3 years to explore Dome Properties.

Sphere has the right to claw back 51% of Dome Properties on payment of 4 x Duncan Park’s expenditure.

Collaboration with Duncan Park subsequently extended (on similar terms) to cover:

McManus Property (expanded Dome Properties)

Nevada

The richest gold camp in the world

Nevada – Carlin Trend – Poker Flats - Proximity


Round Mountain to Northumberland Trend

• An archetypal Carlin-style deposit with potential for a significant component of high-grade mineralization.

• Northumberland has an indicated resource of over 43 million tonnes of gold.

• Approximately 20% of the gold ounces are oxide, with the rest comprising transitional / sulfide material.

26



Nevada – Ziggurat - Proximity

Kinross: Gold Hill Mine (3.6m Oz Proven)

Ziggurat – Under Development -----------------------------------

Newmont: Northumberland Mine (2.2 m Oz Indicates) --------

Barrick / Kinross: Round Mountain Mine (Over 15m Oz already mined + 2.6m Oz proven & Probable

Reserves)

29


Nevada – Exploration Plans 2013

• Expanded the areas to be explored at Ziggurat and Poker Flats projects to be explored by Spartan Gold

– Mapping, sampling and geophysical programs to delineate drill targets

– Planning of aggressive drill program with expenditures of $2,000,000

• Exploration of Gold Jackpot to begin 2nd quarter 2013.

30


Investment Considerations

31


Finance

• South African disposal cleaned up balance sheet.

• Costs of exploration covered:

– Costs of exploration of Dome Properties will be borne by Duncan Park Holdings Corp.

– Exploration costs of Gold Jackpot and Alcourt will be covered by sales of shares in Spartan Gold.

• Raising additional funding for increased interest in Spartan, exploration at Red Lake properties and working capital.

32


Sphere Resources - Investment Opportunity

• Strong balance sheet

• High quality opportunity in high quality locations– Ontario (Red Lake)– Nevada (Carlin, Round Mountain to Northumberland, Pequop Trends)

• Exploration risks mitigated through collaboration and deal structure: low initial investment with option to buy back if successful.

• Planning to return to main TSX board in Nov/Dec 2013.
