RAINY RIVER GOLD PROJECT Individual Environmental Assessment Proposed Terms of Reference - DRAFT, Record of Consultation Page 1

1.0 INTRODUCTION Rainy River Resources Ltd. (RRR) is a Canadian gold exploration and development company whose primary focus is developing a gold resource located in the Township of Chapple, approximately sixty-five kilometres northwest of Fort Frances in northwestern Ontario. The Rainy River Gold Project (RRGP) is an advanced stage gold exploration project situated primarily on private lands. RRR is pursuing environmental approvals for the development of open pit and underground gold mine on the property. In consultation with the regulatory agencies, Rainy River Resources has entered into a Voluntary Agreement with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment to conduct an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the RRGP in accordance with the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. In support of this process, Rainy River Resources is issuing this draft Record of Consultation as part of a voluntary, draft Terms of Reference (ToR) submission to facilitate on-going public consultation on the Project. It should not be viewed as a comprehensive listing of all consultation activities to date related to the RRGP. The Ontario Environmental Assessment Act requires that the proponent prepare a proposed ToR. The proposed ToR provides a framework to guide the preparation of the Environmental Assessment (EA), which requires approval by the Minister of the Environment. If approved, the approved ToR will serve as the framework for preparing the EA Report. A Record of Consultation is required under Section 6(3) of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act, whereby a "description of the consultations by the proponent and the results of the consultations" in preparation of the proposed ToR, must accompany the ToR submitted to the Minister of the Environment. This document comprises the draft Record of Consultation that will be finalized prior to submission of the proposed ToR. It summarizes consultation activities related to the ToR and EA processes for the RRGP as required by the Code of Practice for preparing ToR (MOE 2007). A Consultation Plan has been prepared (and is included as part of the draft ToR issued separately) to guide consultation activities in the preparation and review of the proposed ToR and the EA document. This Record of Consultation provides a description and outcomes of the consultation activities that occurred to date and that will occur in the preparation and review of the draft ToR for the RRGP. This Record of Consultation will be updated to reflect consultation activities and the outcomes / public feedback arising from these activities and will be submitted in a completed format for review with the proposed ToR.

2.0 SUMMARY OF CONSULTATION PRIOR TO THE DRAFT TERMS OF REFERENCE 2.1 Early Consultation Goals Since taking over the property in 2005, RRR has engaged the local communities as well as First Nations and Métis community members about exploration and development plans. RRR believes that in order to be successful it needs to effectively engage the local communities. The primary focus of the consultation to date has been to introduce the Company, to inform citizens of the status of the exploration and future mining-related activities, and to provide information regarding future consultation opportunities. To demonstrate commitment to local communities, RRR opened a community office in Emo, Ontario in August 2010 and maintains an open door policy whereby community members may drop by during office hours to learn more about the project and share their views. RRR also maintains an office in Thunder Bay, Ontario. RRR has taken a number of steps to develop positive and mutually beneficial relationships with Aboriginal communities to date, including the Fort Frances Chiefs Secretariat (FFCS; representing seven First Nations, Table 1), Anishinaabeg of Naongashiing (Big Island) First Nation, Mishkosiminiziibiing (Big Grassy River) First Nation and the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO). 2.2 Consultation Activities prior to the Draft Terms of Reference 2.2.1 Stakeholders and Aboriginal Communities Engaged Stakeholders, and First Nations and Métis engaged by RRR prior to the issuance of the draft ToR include:

Municipal Government: Township of Chapple, Township of Morley, Town of Emo and Town of Fort Frances;

First Nations and Métis: Anishinaabeg of Naongashiing (Big Island) First Nation, Couchiching First Nation, Lac La Croix First Nation, Mishkosiminiziibiing (Big Grassy River) First Nation, Mitaanjigamiing (Stanjikoming) First Nation, Naicatchewenin First Nation, Nigigoonsiminikaaning (Nicickousemenecaning) First Nation, Rainy River First Nation, Seine River First Nation and Métis Nation of Ontario;

Business and Community Interests: Rainy River Future Development Corporation, Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce, Natural Resources Advisory Committee, Rainy River District Stewardship and Resolute (formerly AbitibiBowater);

RAINY RIVER GOLD PROJECT Individual Environmental Assessment Proposed Terms of Reference - DRAFT, Record of Consultation Page 4

Provincial (Ontario) Government: Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of Natural Resources (including the International Rainy River Water Pollution Board), Ministry of Northern Development and Mines, Ministry of Labour and Ministry of Transportation; and

Federal Government: Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (and other departments through their lead).

Stakeholders involved in the RRGP during early consultation include those with a direct interest in the Project, or those who were able to provide data for baseline environmental reports such as Municipal and Provincial government department representatives, community–based service providers, economic development agencies and similar. The range of stakeholders will continue to grow and evolve throughout the various project stages and reflect varying levels of interest and issues over time. 2.2.2 Stakeholder Engagement and Meetings RRR has informed and involved the public and stakeholders in a variety of ways to date. The primary focus of the consultation to date has been to introduce the Company, to inform citizens of the status of the exploration and mining-related activities and to provide information regarding future consultation opportunities. RRR has held two public information sessions to share information about the RRGP and hear public comments. Following after the Emo office open house, a session was held at the Emo Legion in the evening (October 6, 2010). The second open house was held on August 22, 2011 to share Company objectives for the next year. Notices of all public open house meetings were given through the local newspapers and letters to the RRGP area landowners. Site tours have been completed since 2010 by RRR with the Natural Resources Advisory Committee (MNR), Rainy River District Stewardship (MNR), as well as members of the Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce. Three issues of a RRR Community newsletter (Fall 2010, Summer 2011, Fall 2011) have been prepared and distributed to the RRGP mailing list. The newsletter provides an update on current activities at the RRGP site, contact information and educational facts about the mining industry. RRR is also promoting increased understanding of the mining industry by sponsoring a free Mining Matters workshop in Fort Frances during the summer of 2011 and will be doing so again in 2012. The program, created by the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada provided a chance for the participants to learn about rocks, minerals, metals, exploration and mining in an interactive environment including a tour of the RRGP site.

RAINY RIVER GOLD PROJECT Individual Environmental Assessment Proposed Terms of Reference - DRAFT, Record of Consultation Page 5

RRR has also supported the Confederation College Diamond Drillers Helpers program, graduating five groups of students since October 2010, some of whom have since been hired by RRR. Consultation related to the RRGP is being managed using an issues information management system. The system will track and be used to generate reports that include: who was consulted, when, and by what method. Reports will also indicate key interests and concerns by stakeholder groups and the RRR response to these interests or concerns.

2.2.3 Aboriginal Community Engagement and Meetings An important part of the mine permitting and planning process is proactive engagement with area Aboriginal communities and their membership. This engagement included ensuring potentially affected Aboriginal communities are informed and engaged in the development of the project, responding to their interests and concerns, and continuing to build and maintain positive relationships. This is currently being achieved by creating a forum for dialogue and information exchange (verbal and written) and fostering an ongoing relationship between the potentially affected Aboriginal communities and RRR. To involve Aboriginal communities in the RRGP, RRR has provided timely and ongoing updates through community newsletters, open houses and face-to-face meetings, site tours, as well as through meetings with leadership, and digital communication. RRR actively involved Aboriginal Elders because of their influence as traditional authority in First Nation communities, but also so that RRR is able to gather any potential historical land use and/or cultural protocols related to the site and the surrounding area, recognizing that the area has been private residential lands for several generations. Table 1 provides a listing of local First Nations. Consultation with Aboriginal groups to date has included:

Community Leadership Meetings / Presentations: the purpose of which was to provide project status updates to community leadership, elicit verbal and written feedback on communication efforts with membership and continue dialogue.

Community Newsletter Inserts: each of the seven FFCS First Nations has a weekly newsletter that is distributed to the entire on reserve community (several distribute a digital version to off-reserve membership as well). This is a valuable communication tool, as the newsletters typically have a moderately-strong engagement and readership level in the communities. RRR periodically contributes articles on the RRGP to the First Nation newsletters and have notices of community meetings posted in the newsletters.

RAINY RIVER GOLD PROJECT Individual Environmental Assessment Proposed Terms of Reference - DRAFT, Record of Consultation Page 6

Community Presentations: RRR has held a total of 13 community presentations within each of the nine First Nations over the past 18 months. The presentations to date have included project status, project planning, environmental baseline studies and expected project permitting schedule. These presentations and associated question and answer sessions, provided opportunities for RRR to engage informally with the community in group and/or one-on-one settings and to gather verbal feedback.

Traditional Knowledge Advisory Committee: RRR is actively engaging its partner First Nations in the collection and documentation of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Traditional Land Uses (TLU) in the project area. This information will assist in the assessment of the potential effects associated with the project and provide input about how any potential effects can be mitigated, avoided or managed. While RRR recognizes that the land on which the Project is being planned is heavily impacted by historic and ongoing farming operations, RRR feels that it is important that any oral history be properly documented and respected. TEK / TLU data sharing agreements were signed with the Fort Francis Chiefs Secretariat member nations in the fall of 2011 and a Traditional Knowledge Advisory Committee (TKAC) will be formed in the coming months to guide the TEK / TLU study with input from community leadership and consultation coordinators. The TKAC will be comprised of two to three Elders from the Fort Francis Chiefs Secretariat First Nations; a youth or adult First Nation representative, the First Nations Archaeological Study Coordinator, the First Nations Engagement Specialist, the RRR Director of Environment and Sustainability and a representative from AMEC. A similar process is anticipated for the Anishinaabeg of Naongashiing (Big Island) and Mishkosiminiziibiing (Big Grassy River) First Nations.

RRR have hosted site tours with members from six First Nations (Mitaanjigamiing First Nation, Naicatchewenin First Nation, Manitou Rapids First Nation, Couchiching First Nation, Seine River First Nation and Big Grassy River First Nation). The combined tours have included over 50 First Nation community members including Elders, thereby providing the membership with on the ground insight into the progression of the exploration project, including as part of the Mining Matters educational program in August of 2011. RRR also provided support for an Elders Traditional Protocol Gathering on March 12, 2012. The original purpose for the Elders gathering was to have discussions amongst Elders from the seven participating First Nations regarding the development of a common ceremony protocol for mining and resource development projects in the First Nations' traditional territory. There was significant discussion about the importance of ceremony, and the role that it plays for the First Nations in their capacity as the keepers of the earth. It was reported by the facilitator, Ed Morrison, that there was a sense of agreement to put a protocol in place that is more structured, and an acknowledgement of how important it is to educate the companies, the different levels of government, and possibly as a result, some of their own people. There are plans for a follow-up

RAINY RIVER GOLD PROJECT Individual Environmental Assessment Proposed Terms of Reference - DRAFT, Record of Consultation Page 7

meeting of the Elders during 2012, to evaluate a potential framework for that protocol. In the interim, questions around traditional practices are to be directed to the FFCS. As a follow-up to these tours and discussions, a traditional ceremony will be hosted by RRR where First Nation representatives will gather on May 16, 2012 to undertake a Spring Ceremony and Feasting at the RRGP site. Crucial to the RRGP is positive reinforcement of the project status, its potential for positive impact on the First Nations, and the efforts by the Company to mitigate any potential negative impacts on the environment, the culture and the community. RRR and the FFCS signed a MOU in May 2010 which commits RRR to informing the FFCS in advance about exploration proposals and schedules and conducting exploration activities in an environmentally responsible manner. Employment and contracting opportunities were also part of the terms including the joint initiative to fund the First Nations Engagement Specialist position. The MOU also commits RRR to developing and implementing an Impact Benefit Agreement (Participation Agreement) that would include provisions for: mineral production support, consultation protocols, respect for Traditional Territories, training and employment, among other aspects. As a result of various community and leadership meetings conducted since the signing of the MOU, a Participation Agreement was successfully developed with the First Nations and signed in March of 2012. RRR has engaged nine First Nations that could be affected by RRGP activities along with the MNO. Seven of the nine First Nations are members of the FFCS (Tribal Council), while the Big Island and Big Grassy River First Nations are independent. All of the nine First Nations are Saulteaux, a branch of the Ojibway Nation. The Provincial Crown (Ministry of Northern Development and Mines; April 2012) has requested that RRR also engage with the Big Grassy River and Big Island First Nations should RRR make a production decision. Engagement with two additional First Nations, the Big Grassy River First Nation and Big Island First Nation, is therefore, also being conducted. RRR signed a MOU on March 6, 2012 with the Big Grassy River First Nation and is also meeting regularly with Big Island First Nation. RRR has also committed to keeping the MNO informed about the RRGP. Engagement of the seven First Nations with membership in the FFCS is coordinated and directed by the RRR Vice President of Environment and Sustainability based in Thunder Bay Ontario, supported by the First Nation Engagement Specialist based in Emo, Ontario who was selected jointly with the FFCS. The position is funded by RRR but reports jointly to the local tribal council Executive Director (PDGZNYZ Advisory Services) and RRR Vice President of Environment and Sustainability.

Through engagement to date, RRR has determined that each First Nation community prefers different means of engagement for their membership. The most effective methods to engaging community members was discussed with the leadership for each of the potentially affected Aboriginal communities and their feedback was used to create the comprehensive communication strategy that will be utilized during the ToR and EA processes. RRR has been in communications with the MNO since 2010. The MNO and their consultation committee have been invited to participate in a site tour. RRR has committed to keeping the MNO informed about the RRGP. 2.3 Results of Consultation Activities to Date Key comments received by RRR during consultation regarding the RRGP to date, have consistently been related to employment and training opportunities. The region has experienced recent declines in both employment and population in large part related to the downturn in the forestry industry, and development of the RRGP has received very strong Municipal and Provincial government, as well as First Nations support to date. In response to the comments regarding opportunities, RRR has:

Supported a diamond drillers helpers program with Confederation College;

Facilitated a 40-hour geotechnical program for six First Nations participants;

Developed a 40-hour field technician course run by RRR;

Hired Rainy Lake Tribal Contracting to conduct diamond drilling at the RRGP, thereby directly benefitting the FFCS First Nations membership;

Hired a drill rig operation of the Naicatchewenin First Nation Development Corporation to complete a eight week First Nations drillers training program at the RRGP for all nine First Nation Community members; and

Hired community members at the RRGP exploration site. Job advertisements are posted in the Fort Frances Times, and have been sent to communities for posting in the band office and community newsletters to facilitate community access to employment opportunities.

Potential contracting opportunities for Aboriginal Businesses has also been raised in community and leadership discussions. RRR has provided a list of business opportunities to PDGZNYZ Advisory Services and has provided lists of potential economic opportunities on request. RRR has committed to an open bidding process for services and equipment that would allow Aboriginal contractors to equally participate.
