Forward Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking

statements are not historical facts and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties beyond the

Company's control, including, but not exclusively, statements regarding potential mineralization,

exploration results, completion of work program and studies, and future plans and objectives of the

Company. Resource exploration, development and operations are highly speculative, characterized by

a number of significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and

knowledge may not eliminate, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from

the failure to discover mineral resources but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are

insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production.

Qualified Person: Mr Stephen R Maynard, M.S., C.P.G., has acted as the qualified person as defined in

National Instrument 43-101 for this disclosure and supervised the preparation of the technical

information in this release.

What is the Guerrero Gold Belt?

• The Guerrero Gold Belt (GGB) is becoming a world class district for

gold mineral exploration with over 31 million ounces discovered in

the last two decades within a 40 km trend.

• Geological characteristics of an emerging mining district

– BIG: Not one off deposits but multiple deposits that are unified by

common geological characteristics

– SYSTEMATIC: Processes that formed the deposits are part of the

same geological system

• If Big and Systematic, then you have a reasonable predictability and

higher probability of discovery

Mining Companies Operating in the Guerrero Gold Belt

David M. Jones, Senior Geologist & Property Vendor for

Minaurum Gold Inc. developed the exploration model that

resulted in many of the Guerrero Gold Belt “GGB”

discoveries. GGB now totals over 31 million ounces.

identified by mapping,

geochemical sampling, and

airborne geophysics

• Mapping and detailed

sampling are currently

underway for the purposes of

drill target identification

• Drill permitting underway for

7,500m drill program

• Strong Copper-Gold-Silver mineralization

from surface to 300m depth at Cerro

• Under option to Lowell Copper

(JDL:TSX.V) to acquire up to 70% interest

with exploration expenditures of $6M over

3 years and completion of a prefeasibility

study in 5 years to earn 70%

• Lowell is founded by J. David Lowell who

has discovered 15 large scale mine

discoveries including the Toromocho and

La Escondida copper deposits

• VMS Expert Dr. James Franklin noted that

based on his visual inspection, “Santa

Marta appears to be a major massive

sulfide deposit…It has all of the classic

features of highly productive deposits…”

Quartz-grain and clay-rich rock (white) on northwest side of

pit, with iron-oxide crust cap, interpreted as leached sulfide-

rich rock (massive sulfide). Could be an exhalative

silica cap on a VMS system. Iron-oxide crust

extends 700m to north on ridge top.

Santa Marta Mine and dumps in middle, looking south-

south east. Ridge in foreground is covered by laterite-

like iron-oxide crust which commonly runs more than

0.1% Cu.

• 700m strike length of exposed massive

gossan with a small historical pit. Mine

active in late 1960s, produced 50k-70k

tons of oxide copper ore; mine sampling

averaged 1.7% copper over 33 meters,

with up to 2.0 g/t gold and 37 g/t silver

• Geological setting similar to San Nicolas

and is a Noranda-like sequence

• Recent sampling returned 1.1% Cu over

25m in oxidized rock. Surface sampling

yielded up to 1.96 g/t Gold and 11.54%

Copper

• A Mine-era sample of hand-sorted

mineralization reportedly contained 8.1%

copper, 5.0 g/t Au, and 645 g/t Ag

• Two drill targets:

• Stringer Zone- exposed both

laterally and vertically for

several hundred metres

along strike, mined

historically

• Massive Oxide-Silica zone –

overlies stringer zone, traced

for over 700m with average

thickness between 75-100m

• 2,500m approximate drill program

planned totaling 13 holes for

Spring 2014

Page 20: Corporate presentation

Upcoming News Catalysts

• Vuelcos del Destino gold project

– Located 19km from Goldcorp’s Los Filos Mine

• Adelita copper-gold project & Aurena gold project

– Advance projects further via potential joint venture option agreements

– Additional surface work is planned at both projects

• Santa Marta Project

– Complete permitting with ongoing surface work for planned drill program

in Spring 2014, funded by Lowell Copper
