TRANSACTION HIGHLIGHTS

Mandalay’s core strategy is to acquire cash flowing or near cash flowing assets in geopolitically stable and mining-supportive jurisdictions that have excellent exploration potential and where Mandalay’s operational expertise can make a material difference to the performance of the asset in the short to medium-term. The Björkdal mine is an ideal fit for Mandalay as the third positive cash flowing asset in the Company’s portfolio.

Strong Management Team • Proven ability to optimize mining operations particularly narrow vein underground scenarios

Mid-Tier Producer Status with Re-Rating Potential • Adds immediate gold production at an annualized rate of 44,000 – 49,000 oz Au in 2014E (1) • Mandalay will have pro forma production of 200koz AuEq per annum (2)

• Maintains low cash cost advantage in Mandalay

Multi-Mine Production with Attractive Growth Profile • Three producing operations and one near-term growth project

Projects Located in Mining Friendly Jurisdictions • All operating mines and projects are located in low political risk jurisdictions: Chile, Australia and Sweden

Enhanced Financial Position • Accretive to Mandalay shareholders on all major metrics • Better able to fund the capital requirements and exploration programs for Björkdal going forward • Strengthens potential payments under Mandalay’s existing dividend policy (6% of trailing quarter gross revenue)

BJÖRKDAL OPERATIONS

An attractive asset with continued optimization potential

ASSET OVERVIEW – Similar challenges to those faced by Mandalay at Cerro Bayo and Costerfield A narrow vein, nuggety ore body that is highly levered to grade control Understanding gold deportment and executing proper sampling and mapping key to success Strengthened geology/mining team to ensure proper planning and execution Focus on reducing dilution from both underground and open-pit mines Open Pit

Grade control drilling in pit and employment of experienced pit geologists New pit contractor at lower rate with new equipment

Underground

Successful transition to owner-operated equipment (in Q3-2013 with full transition in Q4-2013) which reduced dilution and allows for better mine planning and also reduced mining costs

Increasing ore feed to mill from underground as overall composition of 3,700 tpd mill feed New “grade control” drill in operation providing better data for stope design and layout

Mill Metallurgical characteristics allow 88-90% recovery through gravity concentration Environmentally benign - no cyanide Simple, expandable mill employing gravity concentration with no leach tanks and no reagents Low sustaining capex Long life asset having produced over 1 million ounces of gold since start-up in 1988 and having M&I resource of 1.0Moz as at March 2013

2014 GUIDANCE Expected production between 44,000-49,000 ozs at cash costs of $886-982/oz and AISC of $1,106-1,227/oz Continue focus on developing and mining higher grade underground zones Maintain ongoing grade control focus in open pit to sustain grade at ±1 g/t

GROWTH PROJECTS

Upon completion of the transaction, Mandalay will continue developing several immediate growth prospects

Cerro Bayo (Expansion) Follow-up of recent exploration success on extensions of veins currently in reserves. Expansion of mine capacity through enhanced access with 5 of 12 veins with booked reserves currently accessed for mining Expansion of mill throughput from 1,200 tpd to 1,400 tpd achieved in Q2-2014

Process facility rated at 1,650 tpd, leaving room for further increase depending on exploration success Costerfield Cuffley lode now in production, supplying high grade feed for Costerfield mill

Increase in head grade as proportion of Cuffley feed grows, will raise production rate Four year mine life Extension and infill drilling targeting further extension of mine life in 2014 Increase in sublevel spacing lowering cost

Challacollo (Feasibility) Indicated resources of 8.0Moz Ag, 13.4koz Au, inferred resources of 24.3Moz Ag, 40.1koz Au(1)

Feasibility study underway – expected Q4-2014 Björkdal (Expansion) Alternative production growth strategies

More selective mining to raise head grades at current mine tonnage production rates Ore sorting to increase head grades at current processing rates Mill expansion

Capital costs are projected to be low given the simple mill flow sheet encompassing only crush/grind, gravity, and flotation concentration

Mine capital required is also low given ramp access with no shaft
