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.”

John Swallow, New Jersey Mining Co. CEO & President

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.”
