TSX:MOZ Company Highlights

Two robust gold projects

Two gold projects in mining-friendly jurisdictions — Valentine Lake Project in central Newfoundland (50/50 JV with Mountain

Lake Resources) — Fully permitted Golden Chest Mine in Idaho’s prolific Coeur d’Alene Mining

District (50/50 JV with New Jersey Mining Company) • Can earn 60% by putting $3.5 M in the ground

Near-term resource growth

potential

Significant exploration

pipeline

Several near-term catalysts

Initial resource estimate at Golden Chest expected Q1-2012 Updated resource estimate at Valentine expected Q4 -2011 Potential to advance Golden Chest to development as early as 2013 given

underground infrastructure and permits in place

Aggressive drilling programs underway ─ 25,000 m completed at Valentine Lake, focused on expanding the existing

resource ─ 10,000 m program ongoing at Golden Chest

New hanging-wall gold bearing quartz veins discovery at the Leprechaun Deposit (J. Frank Zone)

Five gold prospects identified along 17 km of strike at Valentine ─ Leprechaun gold deposit resource contained within 750 m strike

Significant exploration potential at both Valentine and Golden Chest

Valentine Lake • Six mineral licenses covering 19,925 hectares • NI 43 101 Estimate – 187,000 oz Au Measured,

90,000 oz Au Indicated and 285,000 oz Au Inferred • Gold mineralization identified along at least 17 km • Leprechaun gold deposit is the most explored

deposit among the five known gold occurrences • 25,000 m drill program completed • Drilling has shown continuation of near-surface

gold mineralization and has extended the Leprechaun deposit along strike and down-dip

Baie Verte • Located 13 km south of Anaconda Mining’s Pine

Cove gold mine • Significant area of gold and base metals anomalies

identified within a wide area of alteration

Golden Chest • Prolific Coeur d’Alene mining region • Historical producer • Fully permitted for drilling, underground mining,

and tailings deposition • 10,000 m drill program is ongoing • Significant potential for reserve growth through

continued underground drilling

Finger Pond • Located 50 km on strike and to the south-west of

Valentine Lake • Historical exploration has outlined several gold and

base metal showings along the property’s 20 km strike

• Targets ready to be drilled

Golden Chest Mine: Historical Producer

Largest historical gold producer in Coeur d’Alene Mining District

Past producing mine located within Idaho’s prolific Coeur d’Alene Mining District

Mining historically focused on high grade (>17 g/t) veins (Katie+Dora, Idaho, etc)

Recent localized mining by JV partner New Jersey Mining Company, produced 8,500 t of ore with an average grade of 6.90 g/t and an average recovery of ~94%

Can earn 60% by putting $3.5 M in the ground Fully permitted surface and timber rights with

an existing reserve and exploration potential Stable rich mining heritage and beside major

road 10,000 m of drilling ongoing in 2011

Summary of Reserves and Resources

TSX:MOZ Competitive Advantages

LOCATION

Located in mining-friendly Newfoundland, Canada and Idaho, USA Strong infrastructure; highway/road access, water, fully equipped on sight

camps Socio-economic and political stability

DEVELOPING RESOURCES

We have the GOLD - our focus is no longer to find the gold but develop and

grow the resources that we have

Golden Chest – initial resource estimate expected Q1 2012 Valentine Lake – updated resource estimate expected in early 2012

MANAGEMENT Over 80 years of Management experience in mining exploration, development

and production $6 Million in the bank

SIGINFICANT EXPLORATION

POTENTIAL

Organic gold deposits at Valentine and Golden Chest have significant exploration potential

Mineralization covering only a fraction of Valentine’s total 30 km strike has been delineated
