- 2. Forward Looking Information
TSX: RR
This presentation contains “forward-looking information” as defined in applicable securities laws (referred to herein as “forward-looking statements”). Forward
looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the cost and timing of the development of the Rainy River project, the other
economic parameters of the project, as set out in its feasibility study; the success and continuation of exploration activities; estimates of mineral reserve and
resources; acquisitions of additional mineral properties; the future price of gold; government regulations and permitting timelines; estimates of reclamation
obligations that may be assumed; requirements for additional capital; environmental risks; and general business and economic conditions. Often, but not
always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”,
“continues”, “forecasts”, “projects”, “predicts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “believes”, or variations of, or the negatives of, such words and phrases, or statements
that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from any of its future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other
factors include, but are not limited to, the assumptions underlying the feasibility study not being realized, decrease of future gold prices, cost of labour,
supplies, fuel and equipment rising, availability of financing on attractive terms, actual results of current exploration, changes in project parameters, exchange
rate fluctuations, delays and costs inherent to consulting and accommodating rights of First Nations, title risks, regulatory risks and uncertainties with respect to
obtaining necessary surface rights and permits or delays in obtaining same, and other risks involved in the gold exploration and development industry, as well
as those risk factors discussed in the section entitled “Description of Business-Risk Factors” in Rainy River's 2012 Annual Information Form and its other
SEDAR filings from time to time. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited
to, the availability of financing for the Company’s exploration and development activities; the timelines for the Company’s exploration and development
activities on the Rainy River Property; the availability of certain consumables and services; assumptions made in mineral resource estimates, including
geological interpretation grade, recovery rates, gold price assumptions and operational costs; and general business and economic conditions. All forward-
looking statements herein are qualified by this cautionary statement. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The
Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information or future
events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
This presentation uses the terms “proven mineral reserves”, “probable mineral reserves”, “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and
“inferred mineral resources”. The Company advises readers that these terms are defined in accordance with Canadian regulations (under National Instrument
43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”)). The United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize mineral
resources. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted in to reserves. In
addition, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any
part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the
basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, or economic studies, except for a Preliminary Assessment as defined under NI 43-101. Investors are cautioned not
to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
For additional information with respect to the key assumptions, parameters, risks and other technical information underlying to the mineral resource estimates
and the preliminary economic assessment discussed in this presentation, refer to: (i) the press release dated October 10, 2012 with respect to the mineral
resource estimates, available at www.sedar.com; (ii) the press release dated April 10, 2013”, with respect to the feasibility study,, available at www.sedar.com;

- 32. History
TSX: RR
The Rainy River Gold Project has attracted exploration interest since 1967. Various companies including Noranda, International Nickel
Corporation of Canada, Hudson’s Bay Exploration and Development and Mingold Resources operated in the area centred on the Rainy
River Gold Project between 1967 and 1989. The Ontario Geological Survey undertook geological mapping in 1971 and again in 1987 to
1988 in conjunction with a rotasonic overburden drilling program. Nuinsco Resources Limited undertook exploration activities between
1990 and 2004, with Rainy River continuing from 2005 onwards.
Nuinsco drilled a series of widely spaced reverse circulation drill holes from 1994 to 1998, defining a fifteen kilometre long “gold-grains-in-
till” dispersal train emanating from a thickly overburden-covered, six square kilometre “gold-in-bedrock” anomaly. Nuinsco completed a
series of diamond drill programs to assess the mineral potential of the above anomalies which led to the initial discovery of the 17 Zone in
1994. Nuinsco subsequently discovered the 34 Zone in 1995 and 433 Zone in 1997. Between 1994 and 1998, Nuinsco drilled 597 reverse
circulation holes and 217 diamond drill holes (49,515 metres). These were mostly in the Richardson area. The 34 Zone was further drill
tested between 1999 and 2004.
In June 2005, Rainy River completed the acquisition of a 100 percent interest in the project from Nuinsco. In the same year, Rainy River
relogged key sections of the historical core drilled on the property and then input all of the data into a GIS database. Rainy River
subsequently drilled in excess of 100 reverse circulation holes in three phases to better define the gold-in-till and gold-in- bedrock”
anomalies.
Between 2005 and 2007, 209 diamond drill holes for 95,340 metres were drilled. In April 2008, a mineral resource estimate was
completed by CCIC. In 2009, SRK prepared a mineral resource statement incorporating information from an additional 112 core
boreholes (59,719 metres) drilled during 2008. In early 2010, SRK prepared a revised mineral resource statement to incorporate
information from 124 core boreholes (68,453 metres) drilled on the project during 2009. In early 2011, SRK updated the mineral resource
statement to incorporate information from 163 core boreholes (84,648 metres) drilled on the project during 2010. A further 17,100 metres
were included in the June 29, 2011 resource statement, with a further 170,000 metres incorporated in the February 24, 2012 statement.
On October 10, 2012, the latest resource update was issued, incorporating 145 more drill holes (79,238 metres).

- 33. Geology
TSX: RR
Regional and Local Geology
The Rainy River Gold Project falls within the 2.7 billion year Rainy River Greenstone Belt that forms part of the Wabigoon Subprovince.
The Wabigoon Subprovince is a 900 kilometre long east-west trending area of komaiitic to calc-alkaline metavolcanics that are in turn
succeeded by clastics and chemical sediments. Granitoid batholiths have intruded into these rocks, forming synformal structures in the
supracrustals that often have shear zones along their axial planes.
The Wabigoon Subprovince basement lithologies were overlain by Mesozoic (Jurassic and Cretaceous) sediments and were subjected to
deep lateritic weathering followed by Quaternary glaciation. Limited preservation of the Mesozoic cover sediments and saprolite occurs in
localized palaeo-lows.
The Wabigoon basement rocks and remnant Mesozoic cover sediments are overlain by Labradorian till of northeastern provenance. This
till has been found to contain anomalous concentrations of gold grains, auriferous pyrite and copper-zinc sulphides. It is overlain by a
glaciolacustrine clay and silt horizon and by argillaceous and calcareous Keewatin till of western provenance.
The Rainy River Gold Project is primarily underlain by a series of tholeiitic mafic rocks that are structurally overlain by calc-alkalic
intermediate to felsic metavolcanic rocks. Intermediate rocks (dacites) host most of the gold mineralization. At a regional scale, the
strongest and earliest deformation event produced a well-defined penetrative fabric. This foliation is approximately parallel to the trend of
the metavolcanic rocks that strike at approximately 120 degrees and dip fifty to seventy degrees to the south. Structural geology studies
by SRK suggest that the current geometry and plunge of the gold mineralization is the result of high strain deforming features associated
with gold mineralization and rotating the mineralization plunge parallel to the stretching direction.
Deposit Types and Mineralization
At least two stages of gold mineralization exists in the Rainy River Gold Project:
Early (low to moderate grade) gold mineralization associated with sulphide (pyrite-sphaleritechalcopyrite-galena) stringers and veins and
disseminated pyrite in quartz-phyric volcaniclastic rocks and conglomerate; and Late (high-grade) gold mineralization associated with
quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite-gold veins and veinlets.
Both styles of gold mineralization have been progressively overprinted by deformation, The gold mineralization is interpreted as a hybrid
deposit type consisting of an early gold-rich volcanogenic sulphide mineralization overprinted by shear-hosted mesothermal gold
mineralization.
In addition to the gold mineralization, the project also contains nickel, copper and platinum group metals sulphide mineralization
associated with a differentiated ultramafic-mafic intrusion. That magmatic-hydrothermal mineralization occurs within the main auriferous
zones and crosscuts the volcanogenic sulphide mineralization and the later mesothermal gold mineralization associated with the regional
deformation.
