“Where Infrastructure Meets Grade”
Forward Looking Statements
Information set forth in this presentation may contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are statements that relate to future, not past events. In this context, forward-looking
statements often address a company's expected future business and financial performance, and
often contain words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "estimate", "expect", and "intend",
statements that an action or event "may", "might", "could", "should", or "will" be taken or occur,
or other similar expressions. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance
or achievements, or other future events, to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such
factors include, among others, the following risks: the risks associated with outstanding litigation,
if any; risks associated with project development; the need for additional financing; operational
risks associated with mining and mineral processing; fluctuations in gold and other commodity
prices; title matters; environmental liability claims and insurance; reliance on key personnel; the
potential for conflicts of interest among certain officers, directors or promoters with certain other
projects; the absence of dividends; competition; dilution; the volatility of our common share price
and volume; and tax consequences to U.S. Shareholders. Forward-looking statements are made
based on management's beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date that statements are made
and the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs,
estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change. Investors are cautioned
against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements.

The Carlisle Vision
Where Infrastructure Meets Grade
“Strong economics in the recent preliminary economic assessment position Carlisle
Goldfields and its Joint Venture partner Aurico Gold Inc. to conduct a feasibility study
on gold production at Lynn Lake. Our vision is to build a ‘best-in-class’ mining
operation on sustainable development of the high grade, open-pittable Farley Lake
and MacLellan gold deposits in the past-producing Lynn Lake Gold Camp, Manitoba,
Canada.
We ultimately hope to share the benefits of new mine development at the Lynn Lake
Project with our First Nation stakeholders, the community of Lynn Lake, Province of
Manitoba and AuRico and Carlisle shareholders. We will demonstrate leadership by
fostering a social license to operate and a credible technical approach to developing
a robust mineral reserve on which a production platform can be built.
Abraham Drost, President & CEO, Carlisle Goldfields

Notes:
1. CIM definitions were followed for estimating mineral resource.
2. Assumed mining dilution rate 5%.
3. Mineral Resources are estimated using a diluted cut-off grade (AU Equiv.)
4. Whittle Pit Shells are designed using a gold price of US$1,241/oz, and a Silver price US$20/oz.
5. Mineral Resources are estimated using a gold recovery rate 89.3% and 93.7% for MacLellan and Farley separately.
6. Mineral Resources are estimated using a silver recovery rate 61% for MacLellan only.
7. There are no known risks that could materially affect potential development.
