Growing the Hope Brook Gold Project

Corporate Presentation

August 2013

Canadian mineral exploration company whose focus is

growing the Hope Brook Gold project in Canada.

Coastal Gold’s flagship property is

the Hope Brook Gold Project in

mining-friendly, southwestern Newfoundland.

Currently completing a 4,250m resource

definition drill program to support a

Preliminary Economic Assessment

scheduled for completion early 2014.

Completed a 6,000m Fall drilling program in 2012

which outlined a major new near surface target

zone that extends 1,200m along strike.

Bulk of resource is within potentially open pittable

constraining shell defined at $1,400/oz gold and

cutoff grade of 0.5 g Au/t.

Updated NI 43-101 Mineral Resource released

for Hope Brook in October 2012 only 8 months

after initial estimate.

Strong Board, Management and Technical

Team committed to developing the project.

Resource Definition Drilling

Resource Definition diamond drill program commenced August 2013

4,250 metres of diamond drilling planned in 23 drillholes.

Focus primarily on testing two main areas - The Footwall Target and Southwest

Pit extension to expand and upgrade potentially open pittable resources.

70 Vibracore drill holes to test gold mineralization within the tailings ponds.

Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)

Engineering and technical work for PEA commenced August 2013

Allan Polk, P.Eng. an experienced mining engineer appointed project manager

Updated resource estimate following drilling to form basis for PEA

Study scheduled to be completed in early 2014

100% ownership in 1,005 claims

covering approximately 25,000 ha*

Historical production (1987 –

1997) of 752,163 ounces gold in

time of low gold prices

(<US$400/oz)

Mine produced a copper

concentrate from 1993-1997

No exploration drilling on property

since 1996 until Coastal Gold

started diamond drilling in 2010

High sulphidation gold

deposit formed from a

long lived magmatic-

hydrothermal system

Mineralized zone open

along strike and at

depth

Alteration pattern

similar to large scale

epithermal systems

Considerable upside

for outlining additional

higher grade

mineralization within

extensive lower grade

mineralization

Drill program identified a major new

near surface target zone in the

“Connector Zone” that extends for

1,200m along strike

Mineralized silicified zones were

intersected over a strike length of

3.4km demonstrating continuity of the

system

Thickness and character of the

Connector Zone alteration is

interpreted to be similar to that of the

former mine and 240 Zone

New Drill Results* include:

• Hole HB12-100: 1.51 Au g/t over 14m, 2.03

Au g/t over 8m, and 1.07 Au g/t over 18.1m

• Hole HB12-101: 1.04 g Au/t over 8.5m, 1.44 g

Au/t over 2.9m, and 1.35 g Au/t over 5.6m

New Structural Model with Major Folds

11

Drilling and geophysics have identified a major fold structure that closes below surface in the Connector Zone. This explains why the silicified horizon doesn’t come to surface southwest of the existing mine where historical drilling failed to intersect the mineralized silicified zone.

Constraining shell incorporates essentially all of the remaining historic resources in the

former Hope Brook mine in addition to new areas of resource as defined by Coastal

Gold, including the Pit Zone, Hanging Wall Zone and Mine Zone Extension.

There is a possible copper credit that is not included in the mineral resource due to

missing copper assays in historical drill holes.

Resource estimate includes a dyke dilution model hence reported grades are diluted

Growing the Resource

14

Deposit is open along strike and at depth

Twinned holes typically return much higher gold and copper grades compared to historical holes

Historic drill holes too short to test depth extension

Widespread higher grade mineralization

Silicified zones can be traced using geophysics with new drilling confirming intercepts
