OBJECTIVES 2011 - 2012OBJECTIVES 2011 - 2012• Replace and increase reserves to 1 million ounces

(currently 650,000 oz)- emphasis on higher grades

• Replace and increase resources, both indicated and inferred to 6.5 million ounces (currently 5 million oz)– emphasis on higher grades

• Discover “new” precious metal deposits

• Assess the Company’s 2,700km2 land position

• Negotiate for non-CRK properties with defined resources – must make economic sense

PRIORITIESPRIORITIES• Define and increase resources at West Lode – Cosmo. Upgrade

Inferred resources at Cosmo East Lode to Indicated• Define high-grade resources at Union Reefs for underground mining• Upgrade and further define resources at Iron Blow and Mt Bonnie –

massive sulphide deposits important to CrocGold• Upgrade and further define resources at Maud Creek• Upgrade resources along the Cosmo-Howley Trend for continuation

of Mine Plan • Explore Moline and Burnside Areas in 2011-2012• Find “NEW” precious metal deposits

A 3D view of Prospect Claim and Crosscourse pits with the various wire-framed lodes. The light blue lode is the Main Lode, the red are secondary lodes wire-framed at both Crosscourse and Prospect Claim.

The Blue lode is the E Lens which was the major +4g/t ore zone mined in Crosscourse. The lode plunges ~60° N below Crosscourse .

MASSIVE SULPHIDESMASSIVE SULPHIDES• An excellent target for precious metals – oxide caps (up to 20-30m thick)

can contain significant gold and silver values• Significant copper and precious metals can form under the oxide cap• Not previously targeted in the Pine Creek Orogen, in fact historical records

indicate “iron blows” were shunned as they were thought to be devoid of gold.

• Hypothetical Target: length 2,000m x 20m wide x 30m thick x SG 3.8 = 4.6 Mt x7 g/t Au = 1million oz.

• Easily found with airborne geophysics, follow stratigraphic horizons, find one and there is significant potential to find more

• Example - Bisha deposit in Eritrea, currently producing 1,000 oz/day @ 7- 8g/t Au at $300/oz

• Examples in the area, Iron Blow, Mt Bonnie, Mt Ellison, Evelyn (Moline

area, 83,000t @12% Pb+Zn and 260g/t Ag = 7.2g/t Au eq)14

•Indicated Resource -Greater than 4.5g/t Au – 3.1 Mt @ 6.3 g/t for 628,000oz

•Partially refractory – metallurgical testing indicates 90-95% recovery by floatation with concentrates grading between 4 and 5 opt.

•Near the town of Katherine – 8km haul road to paved highway

•Significant asset to Crocodile Gold

•North south trending, good widths, excellent configuration for underground mining
