Why Invest in Magellan?
    •   Promising and Exciting Region: the Tapajos is the World’s third
        largest placer gold province, estimated to have produced 20-30 Moz
        from streams between 1978 and 1995 from artisanal, garimpeiro-
        type miners

    •   Experienced Management: 150+ years of mining experience, track
        record for discovery. Management is previously responsible for
        discovery of the nearby Tocantinzinho deposit (2.5Moz), now owned
        by Eldorado Gold

    •   Projects: two organic, grass roots gold discoveries so far - and
        building…

               100,000oz inf), drilling with 2 rigs

    •   Key Stakeholders: Newmont Mining owns 2.5% (IPO 2008) and
        Kinross owns 1% (Chapleau takeover 2008)

    •   Strong Cash Position: $20M in treasury – Q2, 2011

The Tapajos : World’s third largest placer gold belt

    •   Site of the world’s largest ever gold rush from 1970’s to
        1990’s

    •   Largest alluvial gold province in Brazil, third largest alluvial
        gold province in world – previous production from streams
        estimated at 20-30 Moz of gold

    •   Geology is similar to other prolific gold belts (e.g. Eastern
        Canada, Western Australia). World-class potential

    •   Under-explored province. One mid-size deposit discovered
        so far: Tocantinzinho (2.5 Moz)

    •   Kinross, Eldorado and Newmont are active. Eldorado
        acquired Tocantinzinho for $122M during mid 2010.
        Eldorado also spent $5M on a 27% stake in Serabi Mining in
        2010

     *   Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Please note that all figures have been rounded to reflect their
         appropriate level of accuracy.
     *   These resources are constrained by mineable shapes and cut-off grades to meet the requirement that resources must have reasonable prospects for economic
         extraction. The mineable shapes are either Lerch-Grossman pits or conceptual underground stopes. Resources falling within the pits are reported at cut-off grades
12       of 0.3 gpt Au for fresh rock or 0.4 gpt Au for saprolite. Stope shapes only include blocks above a cut-off grade of 1.3 gpt Au. The cut-off grades consider a gold
         price of $1,250 per ounce and metallurgical recoveries of 91% for fresh rock and 66% for saprolite.

     *  Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Please note that all figures have been rounded to reflect their
        appropriate level of accuracy.
     * These resources are constrained by mineable shapes and cut-off grades to meet the requirement that resources must have reasonable prospects for economic
        extraction. The mineable shapes are either Lerch-Grossman pits or conceptual underground stopes. Resources falling within the pits are reported at cut-off
15      grades of 0.3 gpt Au for fresh rock or 0.4 gpt Au for saprolite. Stope shapes only include blocks above a cut-off grade of 1.3 gpt Au. The cut-off grades
        consider a gold price of $1,250 per ounce and metallurgical recoveries of 91% for fresh rock and 66% for saprolite.

     •   235 sq km concession, 100% owned

     •   10,000m of drilling (2 rigs) planned outside existing resources for 2011

Coringa – Resource Estimate

                                    Assumes 2g/t Au cut-off, SG of 2.7t/m3 and minimum mining width of 1.5m

       Resource represents
       less than 20% of vein
       system discovered to
       date.

       Raising the cut-off grade
       to 5 g/t gold results in a
       M&I resource of 0.563
       Mt @ 12.37 g/t gold
       (223,914oz) and an
       inferred resource of
       0.178 Mt @ 14.65 g/t
       gold (83,873oz) on a
       diluted basis

  • 3. Why Invest in Magellan? • Promising and Exciting Region: the Tapajos is the World’s third largest placer gold province, estimated to have produced 20-30 Moz from streams between 1978 and 1995 from artisanal, garimpeiro- type miners • Experienced Management: 150+ years of mining experience, track record for discovery.

Please note that all figures have been rounded to reflect their appropriate level of accuracy. * These resources are constrained by mineable shapes and cut-off grades to meet the requirement that resources must have reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The mineable shapes are either Lerch-Grossman pits or conceptual underground stopes. Resources falling within the pits are reported at cut-off grades 12 of 0.3 gpt Au for fresh rock or 0.4 gpt Au for saprolite. Stope shapes only include blocks above a cut-off grade of 1.3 gpt Au. The cut-off grades consider a gold price of $1,250 per ounce and metallurgical recoveries of 91% for fresh rock and 66% for saprolite.
