[ 6 ] Why Colombia?

• Colombia is considered to be among the world's most desirable destinations for mineral exploration and development, as it is rated 1st globally in terms of geologic potential.

• It is the most secure Latin American country to business , and has the 2nd best investor protection in Latin America .

• Colombia is ranked 3rd in South America for "Policy Potential" , which measures the effects of government policies on exploration, including mining codes, taxation, security, political security and infrastructure.

• Has a stable democracy with a 98% Presidential approval rating, as the U Party was elected for its third term in 2010.

• Since the 2002 election of President Alvaro Uribe, Colombia has experienced huge improvements in security conditions, and civil unrest no longer prevents exploration of the area.

• By 2012 around US$8.8 billion in self-funded infrastructural projects have been completed in Colombia, and it is now the 5th largest economy in Latin America.

• Multiple gold bearing veins identified through preliminary exploration

• Identified 45 high-grade Buritica-like veins

• Veins from trace up to 68 g/t Au

• Altered rock between veins assayed up to not fold 13 g/t Au

• High grade vein and bulk mining potential

• Drill-ready project with the location of 7 drill-holes identified

• Completed 288 line-meters of trenching

• 8m at 3.5 g/t Au

• 16m at 0.8 g/t Au, including 8m at 1.22 g/t Au

[ 13 ] Buritica & Popales Comparison

• Distribution and type of high-grade veins at Popales is very similar to Buritica

• Identified 45 high-grade Buritica-like veins

• Numerous, high-grade veins up to 68g/t Au

• Many of the high-grade veins support artisanal mining

• Mineralized stockwork zones in wall rock indicate bulk mineable potential

100 m.

[ 14 ] Popales Geochemistry

• Widespread mineralization indicates:

• large hydrothermal system and

• provides numerous drill targets

• Copper and silver mineralization is associated with gold mineralization

[ 15 ] Popales Trenching and Proposed Drilling

• Completed trenches, exposing stockwork zones

• 4 trenches for a total of 288m line

• 100 chip-channel samples pending results

• Proposed drilling: 3 holes totalling 1,200m

• Completed 288 line-meters of trenching

• 8m at 3.5 g/t Au

• 16m at 0.8 g/t Au, including 8m at 1.22 g/t Au

Gold Anomalies

Potential Mineralized Trend

• Gramalote look-alike

• One concession, 270 hectares

• Open cut exposes a shear zone roughly 11m wide, length appears to be 1+km

• Chip samples yielded from 4.2 g/t Au up to 16.6 g/t Au

• Alteration consists of silicification, propillitic and sericite zones within N 70 E trend of 50 m width

• This style of alteration is typically associated with gold deposits observed at B2/AngloGold Ashanti Gramalote deposit

• Lithological and alteration maps are being prepared

• Agreement to acquire 90% for US$2.2M
