Cautionary Statements
Cautionary Note Regarding Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources. The United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) permits mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only reserves, which are those mineral
deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. We use certain terms in this presentation, such as
“resource,” “measured resources,” “indicated resources,” and “inferred resources” that are recognized by Canadian regulations, but
that SEC guidelines generally prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC, except in certain
circumstances. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our most recent Form10-K and Form10-Q. You can
review and obtain copies of these filings from the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.

“Our patented/unpatented land strategy – focusing on former
gold mines/prospects on private land with ownership of
adjacent unpatented mining claims. From an operational and
permitting perspective, this approach not only fits our current
strategy of starting small and growing, but also provides a
potential base for sizeable operations on private land should
that opportunity become available.”

Murray Gold Belt
newjerseymining.com
OTCQB/CSE NJMC
Historic Mining District
• 1879 Gold first discovered in the
Murray Gold Belt (MGB) of Idaho
• Geologically similar to lode mines
of Cariboo District and Sheep Camp
in Canada (producing an estimated
4 million oz. gold)
Forgotten and Overlooked
• By 1885, Murray Gold Belt became
secondary with the discovery of rich
lead-silver veins in southern part of
district
• Most world class districts are zoned;
MGB is the gold zone within a world
class silver district

CROSS SECTION SHOWING VERTICAL
CONTINUITY OF SKOOKUM ORE SHOOT• Similar to deposits of the nearby
Coeur d’Alene District, ore shoots at the
Golden Chest suggest potential for vertical
continuity, greater extent in dip than strike
• Over 1,000 meters of strike identified
• As one of six identified ore shoots,
the Skookum Shoot, the site of targeted
production, demonstrates a strike
of 100 meters and down dip extent of 600+
meters
• Expansion potential in several drill-tested areas
including Skookum up-dip and the Paymaster
zone
• Confirmation drilling expected to
increase resources and extend mine life

“In its most basic form, we have incorporated a number of moving parts into an
overall business approach that separates us from other junior mining and
exploration companies. Our goal is to continue to build the Company as we have
done, paying off start up debt, utilizing revenues from existing operations to
expand and grow our asset base. More simply put, we put our money where our
mouth is, focus on doing the heavy lifting and just get shit done.”
