Forward­looking Statements

This presentation contains forward­looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that

address activities, events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the

future (including, without limitation, statements regarding exploration results, potential mineralization, future plans and

objectives of the Company and mineral resources) are forward­looking statements. These forward­looking statements

reflect the current expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company.

Forward­looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of the

Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward­looking statements, and even if such actual results are

realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects

on the Company. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include,

among other things, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in

commodity prices, changes in equity markets, changes to regulations affecting the Company's activities, the uncertainties

involved in interpreting exploration results and other geological data and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration

industry. Any forward­looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by

applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward­looking statement,

whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Although the Company believes that the

assumptions inherent in the forward­looking statements are reasonable, forward­looking statements are not guarantees of

future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty

therein.

Golden Highway Project (“GHP”): Overview

• 665 claim units (~10,600 hectares) on Golden Highway Project • Largely contiguous claim block centered on Southwest Zone in Michaud Township

• GHP covers 12 km of strike along the Destor • 10 distinct gold zones to date • Additional strike along major splays (Pipestone, Munro and Arrow)

• Different mineralized geological settings along the Destor: • Southern Corridor: altered Timiskaming sediments • Northern Corridor: altered mafic / ultramafic volcanics and syenite intrusives

• 3­D digital models developed on over 500 drill holes on GHP properties

• Historical drill core is available at Moneta core shack (>100km of core)

Properties have been advanced by majors: Barrick, Noranda, Unocal

• Michaud JV: 65 claim units or 10% of the Golden Highway Project

• 55 Zone (open: 350m strike x 100m width x 350m depth) • Currently defined by only 26 drill holes • Same sedimentary units as SW Zone with decreased iron formation • Higher grade intersections (27.75m @ 9.68g/t) • Initial discussions re NI 43­101 resource estimate

• Dyment 3 • Confirmed mineralized corridor between 55 Zone and Western Zone

• Western Zone • 14 holes – 125m drill spacing • Higher grade over narrow widths ­ 8.5g/t over 2.4m (incl. 26.7g/t over 0.6m) • On strike with 55 Zone, Dyment 3

The Michaud JV covers the same sedimentary units as the SW Zone…

…within a 2km under­explored mineralized corridor.

Current Corporate Objectives

• Windjammer South • NI 43­101 resource ­ improved categories and quantities (completed) • Test westerly plunge/linkage towards Southwest Zone • Interpret and evaluate potential of higher grade sections • Test hanging wall potential (new zone?)

• Exploration for higher grade within known zones • Targeted drilling on all zones on strike and evaluate resources at depth • Windjammer North drill program: to confirm and expand high grade zone

• Southwest Zone • Upgrade historical resource to NI 43­101 compliance • Drill upper section of zone • Wedge hole 162 at depth

• Advance regional property rationalization opportunities

Continue to build ounces and upgrade resource categories…

…and enter discussions with prospective strategic partners.
