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 21 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

the Los Filos and Bermejal

deposits

• Extensive target areas

identified by mapping,

geochemical sampling, and

airborne geophysics

• Mapping and detailed

sampling are currently

underway for the purposes of

drill target identification.

Copper-Gold

• 700m strike length of exposed massive

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

sample of hand-sorted mineralization

reportedly contained 8.1% copper, 5.0 g/t

Au, and 645 g/t Ag.

Mezquital target is underlain by a large copper-molybdenum porphyry

system, in excess of fifteen square kilometres (see news release dated

May 31, 2012)

– Aurena is located in Oaxaca with an identified 1.8km gold zone open at

depth and along strike
