PEA (2013)
Economic
Model
Note - assumes an exchange rate of 1:1 of CDN to
US Dollar;
• tax rates are based on a blended rate
between Sage and SAS
• excludes any financing costs
• contingency on capital expenditures of 30%
• CAPEX figures represents 100% of
financing
The PEA does not indicate the economic viability of
the mineral resource and is preliminary in nature,
includes inferred resources that are considered too
speculative geologically to have the economic
considerations applied to them that would enable
them to be categorized as mineral reserves and that
there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.
Mineral resources that are not mined reserves do not
have demonstrated economic viability.

WHY INVEST IN SAGE GOLD
Two potential low capex deposits in Ontario; Lynx and Clavos
Lynx – Compliant Resource / Large Deposit Potential/ Open Pit tonnage
Lynx - Potential to Increase Tonnage through further in-fill and exploration drilling
Clavos – Fully permitted for production in prolific gold mining district
Clavos – NI43-101 resource and PEA
Clavos – Potential to increase resources
Very Low Market Capitalization
SMALL AND PROFITABLE IS BEAUTIFUL
