FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS !
! Alliance Mining has an option agreement with Buenaventura (NYSE: BVN) to acquire 2 mining projects in Peru for $2.5M
! The two projects, Poracota and Shila-Paula, include 3 past producing mines, a large tailings deposit, and several high-value exploration targets
! Completing this acquisition would give the Company the rights to all existing project infrastructure and a 350,000 meter historic drill database, ownership of a 250 TPD flotation mill, and access to a second 700 TPD circuit
! An independent auditing firm, Evans & Evans, assigned a total value of $32M to the assets that Alliance Mining would be obtaining via this acquisition
! The Company is aiming to have the mines at Poracota and Shila-Paula back in production within 12 months, at an initial capex of just $2.5M
CORPORATE OVERVIEW !
! These two assets are located in a prolific gold and silver mining region of Peru
! Both are within 35km of Buenaventura’s Orcopamapa mine, which produced an average of 275,000 oz. Au for several years running
! The extent of the land holdings that Alliance Mining would control at each project are quite significant:
11,974 hectares @ Poracota
13,787 hectares @ Shila-Paula
PORACOTA & SHILA-PAULA !
Poracota Mine
Shila-Paula Mine
ASSETS TO BE ACQUIRED !
SHILA-PAULA PROJECT
! Acquiring two mines (Shila & Paula) and 250 TPD processing plant
! Combined book value of buildings, machinery and equipment of Shila Mine & Plant estimated to be $3.75M
! The replacement value for the mill and its attendant infrastructure at Shila is estimated at $15M
! 5 exploration targets identified at the project, along with 150,000+ meters of historic drill data
PORACOTA MINE ASSETS
! Acquiring Poracota Mine, which has a substantial delineated resource
! Two additional targets at Poracota already have established NI 43-101 compliant resources
! Nearly 200,000 meters of historic diamond drill data (conducted by Buenaventura)
! The acquisition includes full access to 700 TPD Orcopamapa flotation mill (located 37 km from Poracota Mine)
! Compania de Minas Buenaventura S.A. (“Buenaventura”) is Peru’s largest publicly traded mining company, with a market cap of nearly $3B
! Difficult prevailing market conditions in the mining sector have led Buenaventura to adjust its strategic focus moving forward
! Having sharply reduced its exploration budget since 2012, Buenaventura is now working to shed its smaller, less developed mineral assets in Peru
! Buenaventura’s corporate repositioning is a huge boon for Alliance Mining, providing the Company an opportunity to acquire two outstanding mineral assets at a steeply discounted price
! While this divestment would only net Buenaventura $2.5M in cash from Alliance Mining, the main benefit for Buenaventura would be avoiding upwards of $10M in shutdown costs at Poracota and Shila-Paula
EXPLAINING THE DIVESTMENT !
STAGE ONE (WITHIN 3 MONTHS)
! Begin mining readily available ore from the Paula Mine (150 MT/D) and blend it with reprocessed historic tailings at Shila-Paula (100 MT/D)
! Run production through 250 TPD Shila Plant
STAGE TWO (WITHIN 12 MONTHS)
! Commence production on readily available ore from the Poracota Mine
! Run ore processing operations through 700 TPD Orcopampa Plant
NEAR-TERM PRODUCTION PATH !
Head Frame at Paula Mine
SHILA-PAULA PRODUCTION !! Alliance Mining has a production target of 250 TPD at Shila-Paula
! 150 TPD will come from underground operations at the Paula Mine; the remaining
100 TPD will be sourced from the historic tailings at Shila-Paula
! Both production streams would generate strong positive cash flow and require a
Capex of just $1M for each
! With production costs projected at just $690 per ounce, the Paula Mine would
generate estimated gross profits exceeding $500,000 per month
! Known reserves at the Paula Mine would be exhausted after 16 months, but the
profits generated during that time would be exceptional
! Meanwhile, the Shila-Paula Tailings Project has an estimated payback period of just
13 months, a production horizon of 12 to 16 years and a NPV of US$ 13M

ALLIANCE MANAGEMENT TEAM !
ALLIANCE PERUVIAN TEAM!
! Alliance Mining will be bringing aboard the same production team and mine staff that previously worked with Buenaventura
! Operations in Peru will be led by Dr. Aaron Morales, an integral member of Buenaventura’s team who served as the right hand man to its CFO
! Dr. Morales’ expertise also extends to the banking sector; for several years, he was the President of Intercontinental Bank, Peru’s second largest bank
! Dr. Javier Barco, who will serve as legal counsel for Alliance Mining’s Peruvian
interests, is the former head of a major mining association in Peru
! By employing the same staff members that Buenaventura hired, Alliance Mining can help to soothe any political tensions and tap into a highly skilled worker pool that requires zero training
" Peru is ranked among the largest mineral producers in the world: Silver (1st), Copper (2nd), Zinc and Tin (3rd), Lead (4th), and Gold (6th)
" Less than 1% of Peru’s mineral reserves are currently being exploited and only 14% of the country has been staked
" Peru boasts a modern geological information system; it has been praised for its efficient administration of mining rights and title granting procedures
" Latin America accounted for 25% of global exploration expenditures in 2012
" Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mines estimates that around US$ 59.5 billion will be invested in the Peruvian mining sector from 2014 to 2020

LEADING MINING JURISDICTION !
EXCELLENT ASSETS ON DISCOUNT!
! The confluence of a prolonged bear market and a strategic realignment by Buenaventura has allowed Alliance Mining to negotiate a highly lucrative deal
" Acquire 100% interest in the Shila-Paula Project (incl. the Paula Mine, Shila Mine and historic tailings) and 250 TPD Shila Mill for consideration of $1.5M
" Acquire 100% interest in the Poracota Project, with full access to the 700 TPD Orcopamapa flotation mill, for consideration of $1M
! The projects each contain several high value exploration targets, where an extensive amount of diamond drilling has been conducted
" At Shila-Paula, the main exploration targets are: Anchaca, Collpa, Escribano, Huactana and Tocracancha
" At Poracota, the list of identified exploration targets include: Faculla, Oxidos, Perseverancia, Soras and Wendy
CORPORATE OBJECTIVES!
SHORT-TERM (12 to 18 months)
! Launch production at the Paula and Poracota Mines and begin reprocessing
historic tailings at Shila-Paula
! Conduct geophysical work and surface
drilling at exploration targets
MEDIUM-TERM (18 to 36 months)
! Complete Underground Resource Evaluations at Paula and Poracota
Mines, including Feasibility Studies
! Increase production levels based on
Resources-Grade viability

# Eric Sprott is the second largest shareholder (~8%) in Alliance Mining; CEO Chris Anderson is the largest (~13%)
# The Company has an immediate, low-cost production plan, as well as significant exploration upside that can be leveraged into JVs
# In 2011, Buenaventura negotiated the sale of Anchaca, a single exploration target at Shila-Paula, to Condor Resources for $9M (the transaction ultimately fell apart due
to financing issues)
# Buenaventura has put at least $5M into the exploration of targets at Poracota and
Shila-Paula; Alliance will have access to a database of 350,000+ meters of drill data
# Alliance Mining has an outstanding, local Peruvian technical team that will oversee
mine operations and tailings reprocessing at Poracota and Shila-Paula
