Forward Looking Statement

TSX : GUY

This presentation of Guyana Goldfields Inc. (the "Company") contains statements that constitute "forward‐looking statements." Such forward‐looking statementsinvolve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or developments in our industry, todiffer materially from the anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward‐looking statements. Forward looking statements arestatements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects," "aims," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "intends,""estimates," "projects," "potential" and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will," "would," "may," "could" or "should" occur. Information inferred fromthe interpretation of drilling results and information concerning mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates may also be deemed to be forward looking statements,as such information constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is actually developed. Forward‐looking statements thisdocument includes are statements regarding: the Company's expectations regarding drilling and exploration activities on properties in which the Company has aninterest; and the Company's statements regarding estimates of reserves and resources on properties in which the Company has an interest. There can be no assurancethat such statements will prove to be accurate. Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements, and readers arecautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward‐looking statements that speak only as of their respective dates. Important factors that could cause actualresults to differ materially from the Company's expectations include among others, risks related to fluctuations in mineral prices; uncertainties related to raisingsufficient financing to fund planned work in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; changes in planned work resulting from weather, logistical, technical or otherfactors; the possibility that results of work will not fulfill expectations and realize the perceived potential of the Company's properties; uncertainties involved in theestimation of resources and reserves; the possibility that required permits may not be obtained on a timely manner or at all; the possibility that capital and operatingcosts may be higher than currently estimated and may preclude commercial development or render operations uneconomic; the possibility that the estimated recoveryrates may not be achieved; risk of accidents, equipment breakdowns and labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties or interruptions; the possibility of costoverrun or unanticipated expenses in the work program; the risk of environmental contamination or damage resulting from the Company's operations; risks associatedwith title to mineral properties; and other risks and uncertainties discussed appear elsewhere in the Company's documents filed from time to time with the TorontoStock Exchange and Canadian securities regulators. These statements are based on a number of assumptions, including assumptions regarding general marketconditions, the availability of financing for proposed transactions and programs on reasonable terms, and the ability of outside service providers to deliver services in asatisfactory and timely manner. Forward‐looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company's management on the date thestatements are made. Except as expressly required by applicable securities laws, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update these forward‐looking statementsin the event that management's beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change.

This presentation uses the terms "Inferred Resource", "Indicated Resource", “Measured Resource” and "Mineral Resource". The Company advises readers thatalthough these terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities regulations (under National Instrument 43‐101 "Standards of Disclosure for MineralProjects"), the US Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these terms. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineraldeposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, "Inferred Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, andeconomic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any part of an Indicated or Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. UnderCanadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre‐feasibility studies, or economic studies except for a PreliminaryAssessment as defined and permitted under National Instrument 43‐101. Readers are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an Inferred Resource exists, or iseconomically or legally mineable. The Mineral Resources stated in this presentation are not Mineral Reserves and, in the absence of a current feasibility study, do notdemonstrate economic viability. The determination of Mineral Reserves can be affected by various factors including environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation,socio‐political, and marketing issues.

Open pit mining begins at ~5,000 tpd in Rory’s Knoll and is completed in two years.

Rory’s Knoll underground follows at ~5,000 tpd while the satellite pits are mined concurrently also at ~5,000 tpd.

Once satellite pits are exhausted, Rory’s Knoll underground continues for an additional 8 years.

Geology

TSX : GUY

Geological Description Rory's Knoll mineralization: disseminated pyrite and gold mineralization associated with intense silica-

fuchsite-sericite-carbonate alteration in tonalite intrusive probably emplaced at the hinge of the folded volcanic rock and metasediments.

Mad Kiss mineralization: disseminated pyrite and gold mineralization associated with intense silica-fuchsite-sericite-carbonate alteration in a quartz feldspar porphyry dyke.

Aleck Hill mineralization: mesothermal gold veins hosted in the shear zones of metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks; occurs in a zone of pyrite-rich quartz-carbonate veins in volcanic rocks that are enclosed in an alteration envelope which reportedly includes silica-sericite and calcite cement filling fractures.
