FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained herein, as well as oral statements that may be made by the Corporation or by officers, directors or employees of
the Corporation acting on its behalf, that are not statements of historical fact, may constitute “forward -looking statements” and are made
pursuant to applicable and relevant national legislation in countries where the company is conducting business and/or investo r relations.
Forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to those with respect to the price of Gold, the estimation of mineral r eserves and
resources, the realization of mineral reserves estimates and exploration potential, the timing and amount of estimated future success of
exploration activities, the timing and amount of production estimates, targeted production cash costs and forecasted cash res erves, the
company’s currency fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environment al risk, title
disputes or claims limitations on insurance coverage and the timing and possible outcome of any future litigation. Any refere nce to a “Historical
Resource” contained herein is considered historical in nature and as such is based on prior data and reports prepared by prev ious property
owners. The work necessary to verify the classification of this mineral resources estimate has not been completed and the res ource estimate
therefore, cannot be treated as NI 43-101 compliant resources verified by a Qualified Person. The historical estimate should not be relied upon
and there can be no assurance that any of the historical resources, in whole or in part, will ever become economically viable. Often, but not
always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “does not expect”, “is expe cted”, “targets”,
“budget”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or equivalents or varia tion, including negative
variation, of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results, “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “ will” be taken, occur or
be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the ac tual results
of the Corporation to be materially different from the historical results or from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the actual results of current exploration activities, conclus ions of economic
evaluations, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, possible variations in grade and ore densities or recovery rates,
failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated, accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industr y, delays in obtaining
government approvals or financing or in completion of development or construction activities. Although the company has attemp ted to identify
important factors that could cause actual actions, events or cause actions events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended, there
can be no assurance that forward looking statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could diffe r materially from
those anticipated in such statements. Except as may be required by applicable law or stock exchange regulation, the Company u ndertakes no
obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward -looking statements to reflect events or circumstances af ter the date of this
document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forwar d-looking
statements. The Company's President and CEO, Richard R. Redfern, M.Sc. and Certified Professional Geologist, a 'qualified person' for the
purposes on National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Properties, has approved the information contained in this
presentation, and evaluated the interpretations therein.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
MINE DEVELOPMENT
FOCUS
Development of
Gold-Silver Mines
 Projects are located in Multi-Million Ounce Gold Trends and significant mines
Yécora, Mexico Mine
Development Focus
High-Grade
Gold + Silver
 Working toward possible development of new mine on Mexivada’s 100% owned
high-grade Lupe Alma and Cumbrita-4 gold+silver chutes at Yécora, Mexico,
which are surrounded by friendly Coeur Mining Inc. property concessions.
Lupe Alma and Cumbrita hold good potential to develop a smaller but high grade
gold-silver mine. Mexivada is developing a mining plan for this opportunity with its
geologists, mining engineers, and metallurgical associates.
Poker Flats Adjoins

 Mexivada owns the Poker Flats property in Nevada, adjoining Gold Standard
Ventures’ Railroad Carlin-style gold discoveries, and Franco Nevada and BHP
drilled into Carlin-style gold mineralization on the Poker Flats area in the 19841990s, finding gold mineralization in Webb-Devil’s Gate Formation host rocks, as
at Railroad. Mexivada will conduct significant new work at Poker Flats in 2014.
 The potential of Mexivada’s high priority projects is now being realized

NEVADA: GOLD-SILVER MINING
•
•
Nevada accounts for 80% of total gold produced in the
US and 10% of the total gold produced worldwide
Major gold companies in the area include Barrick Gold,
Kinross, Newmont, Allied Nevada Gold, and Waterton
Producers in Nevada are depleting their gold ore
reserves, and do little greenfields gold exploration
– 30% decrease in reserves from 1998 to 2009
– 34% decrease in production from 1998 to 2010
•
Producers will need to acquire Nevada gold exploration
companies to replace NV reserves and grow production

trends (Getchell and Midas gold trends). High-grade Au-Ag
already drilled in 30m wide zone. Adjoins Snowstorm LLC gold

JEFFERSON GOLD PROJECT
OVERVIEW
•
58 claims covering 1,160 acres along the prolific Round
Mountain-Northumberland Gold Trend in Nevada
•
Located in close proximity to world-class gold deposits
–
7 km east of the giant Round Mountain Mine, 27 km south of
the past producing Northumberland Mine and near the Gold
Hill Mine, centered on the Jefferson Canyon Mining District
•
Near-surface, high-grade gold-silver mineralization with
local high gold grades to 101 g/t Au over 1.5 m
intercepted in historic drilling by CREC & Echo Bay Mines
•
Multiple open-pit and vein type gold-silver targets
•
Previous drilling in 1982-84 by Copper Range outlined
very large ounce silver and gold resource, and Pincock
Allen & Holt made a mine plan for open pit development
•
Plan to begin permitting in 2014 for new phase of drilling
–
Will test existing and newly-defined open pit gold targets
and to better define the existing gold-silver
mineralization for a NI 43-101 resource classification

JEFFERSON GOLD PROJECT
-Road to Production
MINE DEVELOPMENT TARGETS
•
Detailed geologic, geochemical and geophysical work completed by Mexivada has
identified eight potentially significant exploration and OPHL mining targets at Jefferson
–
–
Jefferson is a highly mineralized area that has potential to yield a new open pit heap leach gold -silver mine
The deposit also contains local very high grade gold – silver, and local tellurium and indium values – both used
as components in new generation solar panel and diode technologies
Target
Porphyry Hill
Description
•
•
Large, potassic altered area with porphyry, vein/disseminated Ag-Au-Te targets and
Round Mountain type Au-Ag targets
Large untested areas present
Open Pit “A” and “B”
•
•
•
•
Historic mineralization study was conducted in this target area, needs updating to 43 -101
Feeder zones to these bodies were never adequately explored for
Historic drilling intercepted local very high gold-silver grades, not followed up
Mineral inventory calculated and mine plan and open pit design made by Pincock et. al.
West Vein
•
Previously mined in part as Ag-Au veins along the Jefferson Canyon Fault system, but
almost entirely unexplored at depth, local good gold values found in past drilling
Open Pit “SG1 and SG2”
•
Vein / disseminated gold targets with strong local gold-silver mineralization at surface
Porphyry Hill Periphery
•
•
Multiply altered area that has potential for a large, older gold skarn system at depth
Has never been moderately tested by drilling
Mogul
•
Completely unexplored gold-silver vein target system with old mine adits
