Transcript of Shareholder Newsletter
March 11, 2013
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of Llave Oro Inc. (“Llave” or the “Company”) we would like to provide you with a brief update
and progress report.
The Management and Board of Directors would like to thank you for your ongoing support of the company
over the past year. Many shareholders have offered ideas and assistance and we are very appreciative. As
you are aware, the past twelve months have been a challenging environment for resource sector companies
in general, and small cap companies in particular. In 2012, the market capitalization of the top 100 TSXV
companies decreased by 43% from 2011. The dollar value of equity financings completed in 2012 declined
by 41% from 2011. Against this backdrop, it becomes more evident regarding the Capital Markets
environment the company has faced and how this has impacted plans for further development, financing,
and the listing of its shares. In response to this environment the company has negotiated deferrals of
property payments to 2014.
UPDATE ON PUBLIC LISTING
We believe that the financing environment for selective opportunities that demonstrate outstanding potential
is changing. After evaluating proposals from several firms, Llave Oro has engaged MGI Securities to raise
up to $2 million in a pre-IPO round while advancing the public listing of its shares on the TSXV in the
coming months.
Pricing for the financing will be set in the coming days and we will provide this information as soon as it has
been determined.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS ADDITIONS
The company expects to announce some very valuable additions to the board as we move toward the public
listing process.
CORPORATE ACTIVITY
The company has been very active evaluating properties and projects that it feels would be valuable
additions to its portfolio. We anticipate being able to share the details of some of these opportunities with
our shareholders shortly.
EXISTING PROJECTS
Popales:
The Popales project is Llave’s flagship property located in the prolific Cauca Belt and consists of two blocks
totaling 294 hectares. As you may know, our exploration team was responsible for key discoveries at
Continental Gold’s Buritica project. The mineralization on the property has striking similarities to Buritica,
which boasts a measured and indicated resource of 3.7 million tonnes at an average grade of 13.6 g/t Au, 38
g/t Ag, and 0.7% Zn for contained metal of 1.6M oz Au, 4.6M oz Ag, and 55.8 MIb Zn; plus 13.3M tonnes
at an average grade of 8.8 g/t Au, 33 g/t Ag, and 0.5% Zn for contained metal of 3.8M oz Au, 14.2 M oz Ag
and 156.5 MIb Zn in the inferred category. The Buritica deposit is entering production. The Cauca Belt
also hosts AngloGold Ashanti’s La Colosa deposit and Barrick Gold’s Marsella deposit. The Cauca Belt is
seeing increased activity and we believe this region will continue to generate important discoveries in the
future. Multiple drill targets have been identified at Popales and drilling can commence once final
permitting has been received.

El Rayo:
The El Rayo project is located in the prolific Antioquia Batholith Belt and consists of a 270 hectares
concession. The Gramalote deposit oz. (AngloGold Ashanti and B2 joint venture) is located approximately
18 kilometers east of El Rayo and has many characteristics that strongly resemble Gramalote. Our
exploration team was also responsible for key discoveries at Gramalote prior to it being sold to Anglo Gold.
To date, the geochemistry of rock chip and soil samples indicate two mineralized zones. The first zone
measures 200 meters by 50 meters with gold anomalies ranging from 0.1g/t to 5.4 g/t Au. The second zone
measures 270 meters by 170 meters with gold grades ranging from 0.1 g/t to 2.6 g/t Au. Multiple drill
targets have been identified and environmental permits for drilling have been received.
We thank you again for your support and look forward to advising you of further successful developments in
the future.
Sincerely,
LLAVE ORO INC.
