Forward Looking Statements
The following presentation may include certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian Securities Laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in the presentation, including, without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization and reserves, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of Tamaka, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “intend”, “believe” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and conditions but rather reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. We base our forward-looking statements on information currently available to us and we do not assume any obligation to update them, except as required by law.
An additional Cautionary Note to Investors – In the event that we use certain terms in this presentation, such as “resource”, “measured resource”, “indicated resource” and “inferred resource”. U.S investors are cautioned that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian Securities Laws, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination has been made. U.S. investors should not assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, “inferred resources” have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization in this presentation may not be comparable to information made public by companies that are subject to the SEC’s Industry Guide 7.
The technical information contained in this presentation has been reviewed and approved by D. Roger Scammell, P. Geo., Tamaka Gold Corporation’s Vice President Exploration, who is a Qualified Person as the term is defined in NI 43-101.

Goldlund Deposit: Large Scale Bulk Tonnage
The gold bearing veins are hosted by seven felsic sills with mineralization delineated over a 3 kilometer strike length.
Deformation created a stock-works within the sills which can be up to 50 meters wide. The intervening volcanics also host gold bearing shears not included in the current resource calculation The free gold is finely disseminated and associated with pyrite and pyrrhotite.

Conclusions - Whittle Analysis
• Open Pit viable
• Pit Optimization Sensitivity• Overall slope angle has limited impact on pit value• Metal recovery has limited impact on pit value• Differences within range of accuracy of geologic model
• Suitability of starter pit – preliminary work indicates opportunity for enhancing early economic return
• Additional diamond drilling required to:• Enhance in-pit resource• Collect geotechnical data • Determine hydrogeologic regime
• Project shows favorable economic potential

Metallurgical Testing
Overall recovery ranged from 85% to 96% - average 92%. Thirteen samples tested (1,138Kg) – representative of entire resources. All zones represented and samples reflected resource grade. Mineralized material at Goldlund has straightforward mineralogy. Net results of deportment study is that Goldlund deposit’s contained gold is readily liberated and
recovered
All test composite samples when ground to a nominal P80 of 45μm contained significant coarse gold
amenable to gravity separation followed by bulk leach (48hr retention) to recover substantially most of the gold – suggest a simple Gravity/CIL recovery circuit.
ABA testing indicate that Goldlund mineralization can be classified as potentially non acid generating. Bond Work Index produced an average of 14.9 Kwh/t; categorized as Medium Test program by SGS Mineral Services.
