2 Safe Harbor Statement Certain of the statements made in this Presentation may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements or information include, but are not limited to statements or information with respect to financial disclosure, estimates of future production, the future price of gold, estimations of mineral reserves and resources, estimates of anticipated costs and expenditures, development and production timelines and goals and strategies.We have made numerous assumptions about the forward-looking statements and information contained herein, including among other things, assumptions about the price of gold, anticipated costs and expenditures and our ability to achieve our goals. Even though our management believes that the assumptions made and the expectations represented by such statements or information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward- looking statement or information will prove to be accurate. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information by their nature are based on assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements or information. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others, the following: gold price volatility; discrepancies between actual and estimated production, mineral reserves and resources and metallurgical recoveries; mining operational and development risk; regulatory restrictions, including environmental regulatory restrictions and liability; risks of sovereign investment; currency fluctuations; speculative nature of gold exploration; global economic climate; dilution; share price volatility; competition; loss of key employees; additional funding requirements; and defective title to mineral claims or property, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Information Form 10K and subsequent quarterly reports. Should one or more of these risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements and information. Although we have attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and information, there may be other factors that cause actual results, performances, achievements or events to not be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Also many of the factors are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements or information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipate in such statements. Accordingly you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information. Except as required by law, we do not expect to update forward-looking statements and information continually as conditions change and you are referred to the full discussion of the Company's business contained in the Company's reports filed with the securities regulatory authorities in the United States. 2

3 Cautionary Note to US Investors All forward-looking statements and information contained in this presentation are qualified by this cautionary statement. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors: Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources - The terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" referred to in the Company's disclosure are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council on August 20, 2000 as may be amended from time to time by the CIM. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") Guide 7. Under SEC Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historic average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. The terms "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource", "inferred mineral resource" used in the Company's disclosure are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects under the guidelines set out in the CIM Standards. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. While the terms "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource," "indicated mineral resource", and "inferred mineral resource" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards in the United States and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. As such, information contained in the Company's disclosure concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S companies in SEC filings. With respect to "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" there is a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It can not be assumed that all or any part of an "indicated mineral resource" or "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. 3

4 Landscape and Opportunity Landscape Junior mining segment ripe for consolidation –Significant assets available at historically low prices –Dutch Gold successfully raised capital while junior peers frozen out of capital markets Strong gold market fundamentals –Major producers biased towards M&A –Sector benefits from both seasonal and structural long-term up-trends/fundamentals Opportunity Dutch Gold’s consolidation strategy is unique among peers –Quickly bring late-stage, proven reserves into production –Competitors focused on exploration Rapid roadmap to profitability –Strategy emphasizes reserves with potential to be both cash generative and profitable within 12-24 months –Projects can be brought into production with high ROI, low capital 4

5 Investment Highlights Junior gold producer with unique strategy to bring low-risk, late-stage, proven reserves into production within 12-18 months after acquisition Focus: North American properties with potential to be both cash-generative and profitable within 12-24 months –Three existing properties with significant known resource potential Proved/probable reserves of 2.8 million ounces Inferred Resource of 7.5 million ounces –Targeting acquisitions in western US Leveraging core assets to strengthen treasury We grow by acquisitions, and organically: Resources, Reserves, Cash Flow Experienced management team –Extensive geological and mining experience –Understanding of mergers, acquisitions and corporate finance –Disciplined approach to acquisitions and production 5
