14 Golden Band s Near-Term Objectives Expand Roy Lloyd Mine mineable resources Continue development & exploration on EP and Komis deposits for additional mill feed Advance planning on Golden Heart deposit to support minimum of mill feed for Y5 and beyond Increase M+I resources for Jolu mill to 700 tpd Advance resource-definition exploration within current operating corridors 14

15 Roy Lloyd Mine (Bingo Deposit) Open to depth & on-strike Currently mining 200 m below surface Surface drilling program started in December Underground drilling to convert inferred resources to M+I and control mine planning 15

16 EP Mine Started site preparation & prestrip start October 2011 Mining started December 2011 Ore sources are Riddle Till, Supergene & Primary ores 260 m EP Deposit: Open Pit Mine Model TSX.V: GBN OTCQX: GBRIF 16

17 Komis Mine Geological & engineering assessment and underground exploration development completed to update resource model New mine plan will come from revised resource model + u/g exploration + drilling on trend and to depth Komis surface drilling include numerous high-grade gold intersections and new zones of shallow, low-grade mineralization over potentially significant intervals Newly identified bulk tonnage potential TSX.V: GBN OTCQX: GBRIF 17

18 Golden Heart Development Work Resource definition drilling completed Updates to optimization and open pit design in progress Environmental Assessment approval received February 2012 Development completion target mid-2013 Preliminary open pit design TSX.V: GBN OTCQX: GBRIF 18

19 Future Development Plans The above discussed deposits are anticipated to supply mill feed for a minimum of the first four or five years. Additional deposits to be advanced through permitting phase include: Corner Lake deposit: Requires drilling to take the resource to M&I and permitting Narrow high-grade deposit as an underground operation Greywacke deposit (50:50 JV): Requires permitting and a limited amount of diamond drilling. Likely commence as o/p with possible u/g second phase Near surface grades and thicknesses are good TSX.V: GBN OTCQX: GBRIF 19

20 Golden Band s Intermediate & Long Term Objectives Explore La Ronge Gold Belt to more fully define resource potential for mill expansion or a new mill Continue permitting to supply mill feed for Y5 to Y10 and beyond Continue strategy to acquire better deposits not in GBN s control 20

21 Exploration Follow-up of Fireweed & Round Lake area targets and anomalies Greywacke JV -> LRG JV New acquisitions (LRG JV): North Lake Preview Lake (8,675 ha) La Ronge Gold Project
