19 Valuation Methodology – Enterprise Value/Resource Comparison – Discounted Cash Flow

20 Valuation (EV/Resource) Source: Bloomberg and respective company websites Enterprise Value – How much are you willing to pay to buy the company? – Market Cap + Debt + Preferred shares - Cash

21 Valuation (EV/Resource) Source: Bloomberg and respective company websites

22 Fair Value – Current Share Price: $0.154 – Gold Company Valuation Median : 217 – Lion Gold EV/Resource : 17 – Fair Value Calculation Fair Value = 217 / 17 x 0.154 = $1.96 Valuation (EV/Resource)

23 Profit / FCFF projection Valuation

25 Valuation – DCF Assumption

26 Valuation – Fair Value Low valuation, because financial reports had shown that Lion Gold been unable to generate returns for shareholder

27 Trading Data 52 Weeks Trading Range$0.14 - $1.76 Avg Volume (3 mths)14.6 mil Market Cap$141.98 mil Source: Yahoo Finance

28 Main Risks Valuation assumes cash cost per ounce remains stable at USD $1200/oz for the next 5 years Fluctuation in Spot Gold prices is likely to have an impact on the profit margin of Gold mining companies.

29 Main Risks Recent plunge in share price means that Lion Gold is unable to use its strategy of using share placement for acquisition of gold mines. Default Risk – Very Low – Current ratio = 2.73x – Interest coverage = NA – D/E ratio = 0.17 – Loans maturing this year = $2.7 mil – Cash = $46 mil

30 Conclusion Lion Gold Corp had been using a acquisition model to grow its business however due to the sudden plunge, their M&A model is likely to be halted. Low Enterprise Value to Resource makes Lion Gold a potential takeover target for large capital group or bigger gold mine Lion Gold is asset rich, however the jury is still out on whether they can continue to create returns for Shareholders, thus explaining the low valuation for this counter.
