January 2013

Open Pit Gold Projects – building our first mine….

…and increasing our resource base.

TSX-V: BGC

Investment Highlights

Global resources of 715,000 oz of indicated and 1,921,000 oz of inferred (0.3 g/t

cut-off)

São Jorge PEA update with new larger and higher grade resource, improved

metallurgy, more favorable exchange rates and a better gold price – Q1 2013

completion

Moving towards production at São Jorge – target 2015

All deposits (São Jorge, Surubim, and Boa Vista) in the Tapajós region and

Batistão deposit in the Alta Floresta region open for resource expansion

Near-surface gold resources at all deposits amenable to large scale open pit

extraction

One of the largest land positions in the Tapajós region of Brazil

Supportive, mining friendly jurisdiction – 1% NSR to state

Led by a proven management team & experienced board

Strong investment opportunity – EV/oz of ~$6/oz compared to industry

standard of approx. $50/oz

Milestones

2012 Milestones – Completed

Earned an additional 19% in the Boa Vista project bringing Brazilian Gold’s ownership to

71% subject to a NSR – expect to be 85% in 2013

NI43-101 Technical Reports on resource estimates for two new discoveries: Jau (Surubim

project) and VG1 (Boa Vista) deposits – deposits open in three directions with potential for

additional resource growth

Amended NI43-101 Technical Report on the resource estimate for the São Jorge deposit –

overall 87% increase in the contained gold ounces and a 89% increase in the indicated

ounces from the previous estimate (PEA 2011)

BGC 2012 Resource Statement – increased gold inventory by 176% from 2011

2013 Q1 Milestones – to be Completed

NI43-101 Technical Report on the first resource estimate for the Batistão deposit

NI43-101 Technical Report on the updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) of the

São Jorge deposit

Why Brazil – the Next Big Mining District

• Politically mature and economically stable

• World’s 6th largest economy

• Rapidly growing population with emerging middle class

• Pro-mining culture

• Clear and well understood mining code and legal framework

• Large underexplored country with favorable geology

• Only 1% royalty on production

• Tapajós – underexplored mineral province with unofficial artisanal production

of 20 to 30M ounces

• Companies such as Newmont, AngloGold Ashanti, Kinross, and Eldorado Gold

actively exploring, developing and investing in gold projects in Brazil

Important Regulatory Notice Certain of the statements made and information contained herein is "forward-looking information" within the meaning of the

Ontario Securities Act, including statements concerning our plans at our mineral projects, which 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 information.

Forward-looking information is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to

differ from those reflected in the forward-looking information, including, without limitation, failure to establish mineral

resources; delays in obtaining or failure to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals;

changes in national and local government legislation or regulations regarding environmental factors, royalties, taxation

or foreign investment; political or economic instability; terrorism; inflation; changes in currency exchange rates;

fluctuations in commodity prices; delays in the development of projects; shortage of personnel with the requisite

knowledge and skills to design and execute exploration programs; difficulties in arranging contracts for drilling and other

exploration and development services; dependency on equity market financings to fund programs and maintain and

develop mineral properties; risks associated with title to resource properties due to the political risk in Brazil and

difficulties of determining the validity of certain tenures and other risks and uncertainties, including those described in

each management discussion and analysis.

In addition, forward-looking information is based on various assumptions including, without limitation, the expectations and

beliefs of management; the assumed long-term price of various minerals; the availability of permits and surface rights;

access to financing, equipment and labour and that the political environment within Brazil will continue to support the

development of environmentally safe mining projects. 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. Accordingly, readers are advised not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Except

as required under applicable securities legislation, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise

forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Appendix 2 – Global Gold Mines & Deposits

• Gold deposits with >1M oz of gold resources (all categories) • 189 producing mines – average grade of 1.06 g/t

• 250 undeveloped deposits – average grade of 0.66 g/t

• 439 total – average grade of 0.82 g/t

• Grades of undeveloped deposits 37% lower than producing mines

• Ownership • 189 producing mines owned by companies with an average market capital of $1.8B

• 250 undeveloped gold deposits

• 84 owned by miners

• 166 owned by juniors

• Undeveloped gold production could add 42M oz/year over 25 years assuming: • mine recoveries of 90%

• metallurgical recoveries of 80%

• three year start up and production of 25,000 tonnes/day

• Current gold production is 90M oz/year

• Summary: • Supply: Undeveloped deposits insufficient to replace current gold production

• Demand: Current government fiscal policies will continue the demand for gold as a form of currency and safe

haven

• Price: Diminishing resources and increasing demand will insure the current or higher price for gold

Source: Natural Resource Holdings, July 2012

“Brazilian Gold with a large resource base and above average grades compared to world

wide undeveloped gold deposits has excellent potential for significant share price

appreciation from the current depressed share prices seen in the junior gold sector.”
