Cieneguita Gold-Silver Project

Exploration and Future PotentialPiedra Blanca Target:• New identified area 500 meters to the south of the

Cieneguita deposit

• It is exhibiting intense alteration characterized by quartz-sericite-pyrite assemblages. Areas with intense fracturing and stockworks where limonites dominated by goethite and hematite are common

• Assay results from surface sampling have returned values ranging from 0.30 to 4.04 g/t Au and 100 to 8900 ppm Cu

• Mineralization extends at least 700 x 300 meters and is located in the intersection of main structures

Next Exploration Stage:• Complete mapping and sampling program at 1:1000

scale

• Define and drill targets by 4Q 2009

Page 18: Pan American Gold Fields

Sahuayacan Gold-Siler Project

Key Elements and Achievements:• Mapping and sampling program identified 4 targets: Santo Niño, Santa Teresa, La Cumbre y Cerro Cacho

• Mineralization tends to cluster along Santo Niño and Santa Teresa veins. La Cumbre is a disseminated mineralization

• 13 holes completed for 2,100 meters of drilling. Drilling highlights include:

• SA-01: 7.50 meters with 2.56 g/t Au and 11 meters with 2.24 g/t Au

• SA-12: 7.50 meters with 56.01 g/t Au and 283.22 g/t Ag

• SA-05: 4.5 meters with 1.77 g/t Au (from surface)

Page 19: Pan American Gold Fields

Sahuayacan Gold-Silver Project

Next Exploration Stage – 2009:•Mapping-sampling along La Cumbre-

Santa Teresa Trend

•ASTER image analysis to identify additional alteration-mineralization areas along the semi-circular feature passing through La Cumbre and Santa Teresa

• Identify drilling targets on La Cumbre and Santa Teresa

• Identify drilling targets on the Cerro Cacho target which is the northern extension of the Santo Niño mineralized structure

•Commence a 4,000 to 6,000 meters exploration program aimed to define the potential of the project

•Gold discovery at Sahuayacan opens potential for a carbonaceous volcano-sedimentary gold discovery.

Page 20: Pan American Gold Fields

Encino Gordo Project

Main Features:• Geology shows porphyries intruding volcanic rocks (dacite and andesite)

• Alteration zones exhibit potassic alteration assemblages grading outward to quartz-sericite and propylitic alteration

• Multiple events of veining including: quarzt+chalcopyrite, quartz+pyrite, quartz+chalcopyrite+pyrite veins

• Coincident copper and gold geochemical anomalies spatially associated to a potassic alteration core

• Geology, mineralization and alteration assemblages suggest the presence of a porphyry-style mineralization system

Page 21: Pan American Gold Fields

Encino Gordo Project

Next Exploration Stage (2010):

• Stream sediment sampling covering the entire concessions

• Geological mapping and geochemical sampling on:

Anomaly N (similar environment to Palmarejo)

Elyka Structure (mineralized over 2 km long)

• Geophysical survey

• Identify additional drilling targets and commence drilling

Page 22: Pan American Gold Fields

New Targets Generation Program

Generation Program – 2009:• Aggressive new targets generation program

designed to feed pipeline at 2 new drill- or near-to-drill targets per year

• Focus on the Sierra Madre, Mesa Central and Southern Mexico

• 3 projects in the Sierra Madre

• Cash injection from Cieneguita production to advance projects and acquire attractive opportunities/projects

Page 23: Pan American Gold Fields

Summary

• Gold production has started at its Cieneguita Project.

• Sale of Guazapares property for $3.7 million, combined with a recent financing and cash flow leaves company in a strong financial position.

• Discovery of a new gold zone at Cieneguita adds to growth potential.

• Feasibility study for a +100,000 oz/year operation AT Cieneguita to commence.

• High grade Gold discovery at Sahuayacan 1 million oz potential

• Executive and management proven mine finders and developers

• Relationship with MRT, an engineering and metallurgical firm gives the company technical advantage.

• Cash flow from Cieneguita production will provide working capital to advance existing projects and make new acquisitions

• Potential for significant new discoveries: Piedra Blanca and Sahuayacan

• Continuous flow of news from exploration and development

• Currently undervalue relative to peer group •
