Introduction

A1 Consolidated Gold Limited (provisional ASX code AYC) is seeking to become a listed gold

producer focused on production at its 100% owned A1 Gold Mine in Victoria.

Advanced project on granted mining lease - fully operational mine site including underground

development and site infrastructure.

JORC exploration target of between 0.6m to 2.9m oz contained gold derived from historical

drilling1 which includes some 77 intercepts grading > 8g/t au

Currently undertaking office studies for purpose of converting to JORC Resource

Toll treatment agreement with Octagonal Resources (ASX:ORS) executed Feb 2012.

Trucking commenced 27 Feb 2012 with treatment to commence in June 2012

Expected cash cost circa $600/oz based on mid-point JORC exploration target

Board & management team > 150 years combined experience

Raising min. of $8 million at $0.30 to capitalise the Company at $42m with $10m cash.

Project Location

Located approx 120 km north east of

Melbourne in the Woods Point - Walhalla

Dyke corridor

Projects* consist of:

• A1 Gold Mine ( MIN5294);

• Ten Mile Goldfield (EL5109); and

• Star of the West (MIN4636)

The A1 Mine is the second largest gold

producer in the region having produced >

600,000 ozs up to 1992.

* Completion of the acquisition of the Projects will

occur upon the Company’s admission to the ASX.

A1 Gold Mine (MIN5294)

Diorite dyke hosted gold mineralisation

Tenement covers entire known A1 Dyke

corridor.

Historical gold production of circa

620,000 oz at an average grade of 32 g/t

A1 Gold Mine Project

Potential of the 1400 Stockworks was

first recognised in early 1980’s

Bulk sample from a 1982 development

on the 1400 Level had a recovered grade

of 10 g/t au

Two parallel rises (inclined development)

from the 1330 level to 1400 Level in

1987 obtained a recovered grade of 17

g/t au

High grade results in 1987 were followed

by a radial drilling program in 1989-90

Underground drilling program in 2010-11

defined the 1400 Stockworks as a bulk

mining target.

1400 Stockworks

Focus is on reaching the 1400

Stockworks (Blocks 1-4 & 6).

Decline development currently at the

1620 level with a further 1500m required

to bring the 1400 Stockworks into

production. Lateral development of

~500m will be also required.

Currently averaging approx. 100 metres

of development per month

First target (Block 1) will be reached at

the 1450 level July 2013 (15 months

from IPO)

Expect to increase rate of mining to up to

3000t per week once 1450 level is

reached (150,000tpa) (1) References to exploration target size and target mineralisation in this

report are conceptual in nature and should not be construed as indicating the

existence of a JORC Code compliant mineral resource. There is insufficient

information to establish whether further development and exploration will

result in the determination of a mineral resource within the meaning of the

JORC Code.

1400 m of diamond drilling completed to

date

Drilling confirms:

• Dyke Corridor extends >400m north

• Mineralised Dyke still ~20m wide

• Reef material at 9.7 g/t gold Au

• target area 400m strike and up to

30m wide.

Western Dyke – Identified in 2008 from

drilling that confirmed:

• Dyke is mineralised

• Existence of multiple dykes

• Potential to add resource ounces

Page 19: A1 Consolidated Gold- Resources & Energy Symposium 2012

2012 Development Strategy

Commence processing from 1650

and 1625 Stockworks at 50,000 tpa

Continue mining at a rate of 1000t per

week

Continue decline development to

access and mine the high grade 1400

Level

Undertake mine definition drilling to

explore extensions to the known

stockwork zones.
