•  Approximately 20,000 – 40,000 ounces produced between 1870 & 1942

•  Approximately $3.5MM expended on exploration between 1986 to 2009

•  Modern techniques provide evidence of large regional resource potential

•  Identified resources in 2 zones with 5 high potential exploration target zones

•  1997 open pit mine plan & financing shelved by dramatic market decline

•  Intermittent regional level exploration continued to late 2009




DISTRICT MINING & EXPLORATION HISTORY


•  Programs include soil testing, trenching, soil gas hydrocarbon, & 300+ drills

•  Expert reports by Synder, Jaacks, Leach, Corbett, Kerrich, Larson, & Curtis

•  Leach reported gold mineralization occurs over strike lengths of +8 miles

•  Visible gold evident in some trenches

•  Attractive grades reported in widely distributed zones on property

•  Select Au grades reported (converted)|Trench 5.52 g/ton for 15’|Drill 6.23

g/ton for 55’ | Drill 5.55 g/ton for 33’ |Drill 14.79 g/ton for 55’




HISTORICAL EXPLORATION RESULTS (non 43-101 compliant)



Gold Basin Exploration Target Plan


•  2007, Kerrich compares to Quinlin mesothermal gold province in China

•  1997, Larson compares to Santa Fe Gold’s (New Gold) Mesquite Mine

•  Mesquite has 200’ vertical gold zone | Gold Basin > 800’ vertical zone

•  Mesquite is simple deposit of about 5 million ounces compared to GBMD

•  Gold Basin is larger, more complex, better host rocks, yet very similar

•  Larson report concludes GBMD should develop greater gold reserves




HISTORICAL EXPLORATION RESULTS … continued


•  3 types of lode gold mineralization confirmed in the Mining District

•  Mesothermal, fissure filling, quartz vein hosted gold mineralization

•  Gold mineralization related to low sulphidation epithermal fluids

•  Disseminated gold mineralization within local intrusions

•  Select verification samples return (converted)11.16, 12.89, & 22.79 g/ton

•  Verification samples compared very well with historical 1997 results




2011 - NI 43-101 COMPLIANT VERIFICATION RESULTS
