This  presenta8on  contains   “forward   looking   informa8on”  which  may   include,  but   is  not   limited   to,   statements  with   respect   to   [future  financial  or  opera8ng  performance  of   the  Company  and   its  mineral  projects,  the  future  price  of  metals,   the  es8ma8on  of  mineral  resources,  the  realiza8on  of  mineral  resource  es8mates,  the  8ming  and  amount  of  es8mated  future  produc8on,  costs  of  produc8on,  capital,  opera8ng  and  explora8on  expenditures,  costs  and  8ming  of  the  development  of  new  deposits,  costs  and  8ming  of  future  explora8on,  requirements  for  addi8onal  capital,  government  regula8on  of  mining  opera8ons,  environmental  risks,  reclama8on  expenses,  8tle  disputes  or  claims  and  limita8ons  of  insurance  coverage].  O`en,  but  not  always,  forward  looking  statements  can  be  iden8fied  by  the  use  of  words  and  phrases  such  as  “plans,”  “expects,”  “is  expected,”  “budget,”  “scheduled,”  “es8mates,”  “forecasts,”  “intends,”  “an8cipates,”  or  “believes”  or  varia8ons  (including  nega8ve  varia8ons)  of  such  words  and  phrases,  or  state  that  certain  ac8ons,  events  or  results  “may,”  “could,”  “would,”  “might”  or  “will”  be  taken,  occur  or  be  achieved.  

Forward-­‐looking  statements  are  based  on  the  opinions  and  es8mates  of  management  as  of  the  date  such  statements  are  made  and  are  based  on  various  assump8ons,  such  as  the  con8nued  poli8cal  stability  in  Northern  Ireland  and  Norway,  that  permits  required  for  the  Company’s  opera8ons  will  be  obtained  in  a  8mely  basis  in  order  to  permit  the  Company  to  proceed  on  schedule  with  its  planned  explora8on  and  development  programs,   that   skilled  personnel  and  contractors  will   be  available  as   the  Company’s  opera8ons   con8nue   to  grow,   that   the  price  of   gold  will   be  at   levels   that   render   the  Company’s  mineral  projects  economic,   that   the  Company  will  be  able   to  con8nue  raising   the  necessary  capital   to  finance   its  opera8ons  and  realize  on  mineral   resource  es8mates,  and  that   the  assump8ons  contained   in   the  Company’s  technical  report  en8tled  “A  Preliminary  Economic  Assessment  of  the  Curraghinalt  Gold  Deposit,  Tyrone  Project,  Northern  Ireland”,  dated  September  6,  2012  (the  “PEA”)  are  accurate  and  complete.    

Forward  looking  statements  involve  known  and  unknown  risks,  uncertain8es  and  other  factors  which  may  cause  the  actual  results,  performance  or  achievements  of  the  Company  to  be  materially  different  from  any   future  results,  performance  or  achievements  expressed  or   implied  by  the   forward   looking  statements.  Such   factors   include,  among  others,  general  business,  economic,  compe88ve,  poli8cal  and  social   uncertain8es;   the   actual   results   of   current   and   future   explora8on   ac8vi8es;   the   actual   results   of   reclama8on   ac8vi8es;   conclusions   of   economic   evalua8ons;   changes   in   project   parameters   and/or  economic  assessments  as  plans  con8nue  to  be  refined;  future  prices  of  metals;  possible  varia8ons  of  mineral  grade  or  recovery  rates;  the  risk  that  actual  costs  may  exceed  es8mated  costs;  failure  of  plant,  equipment  or  processes   to  operate  as  an8cipated;  accidents,   labour  disputes  and  other   risks  of   the  mining   industry;  poli8cal   instability;  delays   in  obtaining  governmental  approvals  or  financing  or   in   the  comple8on  of  development  or  construc8on  ac8vi8es,  as  well  as  those  factors  discussed  in  the  sec8on  en8tled  “Risk  Factors”  in  the  Company’s  Annual  Informa8on  Form.    

Although  the  Company  has  ahempted  to   iden8fy   important  factors  that  could  cause  actual  ac8ons,  events  or  results  to  differ  materially  from  those  described  in  forward  looking  statements,  there  may  be  other  factors  that  cause  ac8ons,  events  or  results  to  differ  from  those  an8cipated,  es8mated  or  intended.  Forward  looking  statements  contained  herein  are  made  as  of  the  date  of  this  presenta8on  and  the  Company  disclaims  any  obliga8on  to  update  any  forward  looking  statements,  whether  as  a  result  of  new  informa8on,  future  events  or  results,  except  as  may  be  required  by  applicable  securi8es  laws.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  forward   looking  statements  will  prove  to  be  accurate,  as  actual  results  and  future  events  could  differ  materially   from  those  an8cipated   in  such  statements.    Accordingly,  readers  should  not  place  undue  reliance  on  forward  looking  statements.
