The information presented contains “forward-looking statements”, within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,

and “forward-looking information” under similar Canadian legislation, concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of the

Company. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to estimated production,

the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources; the realization of mineral reserve estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future

production; costs of production; capital expenditures; success of exploration activities; permitting time lines and permitting, mining or processing issues;

government regulation of mining operations; environmental risks; unanticipated reclamation expenses; title disputes or claims; litigation liabilities; and

limitations on insurance coverage. Generally, forward-looking statements and forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking

terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does

not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or

“will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are based on the opinions and estimates of

management as of the date such statements are made, and they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause

the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such

forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could

cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, there may be other factors that

cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results

and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-

looking statements and forward-looking information. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements or forward-looking

information that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Investors are advised that National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators requires that each category of mineral reserves and

mineral resources be reported separately. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated or Inferred Resources

The information presented uses the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources. United States investors are advised that while such

terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these

terms. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be

assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred

mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part

of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all

or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

LAC LAURA GOLD PROJECT

An extensive trench sampling program has been completed in 2011 by

Pro Minerals on newly revealed mineralization and the samples have now been

submitted for assaying, results are now pending.

A drill program has now commenced in a recently uncovered new zone of

mineralization.

A new timber road now permits better access to the northern part of the

Lac Laura property which covers the south part of the Blondeau

Formation.

The Blondeau Formation, in which the Lac Laura Gold Project is situated, is

known to be favourable for “Cooke Mine type” type of gold/copper

mineralization as well as VMS type mineralization. The historic Cook Mine,

located nearby the Lac Laura Gold Project, produced 1,084,000 tonnes grading

5.69 g/t Au, 0.85% Cu and 10 g/t Ag in 1976 with resources of 307,000 tonnes

averaging 4.79 g/t Au, and 0.80% Cu as of 1985. All of the numbers are for

reference purposes only and non NI 43-101 compliant.

BOSTON CREEK GOLD PROJECT

Page 16: 2011 Pro Minerals Inc. Corporate Presentation

BOSTON CREEK GOLD PROJECT

The 100% owned Boston Creek Gold Project comprises 10 claims totaling 74 units situated in the southern part of Boston Township in the Larder Lake area of

the Superior Province of Ontario. The total size of the claim group is 456 Ha in size (1,128 acres)

Kenzie Gold Vein

Location of the first gold discovery of in Boston Township was made in 1914 on what is called the Kenzie vein.

Development at the Boston Creek Gold Project had ceased due to WWI until recent acquisition and field work by Pro Minerals. In 1916 an inclined shaft was sunk to 200 feet in depth with 750 feet of lateral development on the 100 and 200 foot levels. Values of up to 1 ounce gold have been reported from the mineralized parts of the Kenzie vein. High grade gold showings were obtained from the 28 foot shaft on the western end of the vein and finely disseminated gold can be seen in many samples in the dump.

A sampling program of the waste dumps was done in May 2004 and anomalous values as high as 59.0 g/t Au where obtained. These grades substantiate the historical information on the property.

Page 17: 2011 Pro Minerals Inc. Corporate Presentation

BOSTON CREEK GOLD PROJECT

The R.A.P. Syndicate area in the southern part of the property has been the subject of gold mining activity in the early 20th century and the northern part of Boston Township contains the former Adam’s Mine, an iron ore producer which ceased operations in the 1980s.

A small gold deposit (in the order of 150,000 ounces) is known to exit on property held by Marshall Minerals to the east of the Boston Creek Gold Project.

A Geophysical Magnetometer program in 2007 pinpointed multiple targets.

Subsequent trenching and sampling program was then undertaken on the property in 2009. An outcrop shoveled off in March 2009 was a long trench that was drilled and blasted consisting of a quartz filled sheer zone approximately 1.5m (5 feet). A strong quartz shear on strike was identified and recommended to be further prospected and sampled. The strike on the vein is 300 degrees.

A report prepared for Pro Minerals by J Atkinson Consulting dated March 25, 2011 recommended that as a preliminary effort the data from the airborne geophysical surveys that have been completed by the Ontario Government be obtained and a detailed interpretation be prepared for the area covered by the Boston Creek Claim Group.

The property is 16 kilometers southeast of the town Kirkland Lake, Ontario in the prolific gold producing area known as the Abitibi Greenstone Belt (AGB). The property can be accessed through the village of Boston Creek whereby logging roads are accessible throughout the claims. This property has an excellent potential for a small to medium sized high grade gold deposit.

CAIRO GOLD PROJECT

Page 19: 2011 Pro Minerals Inc. Corporate Presentation

CAIRO GOLD PROJECT

Located in Matachwan – Cairo

Township, Ontario

1,600 hectares of highly prospective,

yet largely untested ground on the

western end of the 100 Million ounce gold

producing Cadillac-Larder Lake Break.

The Company’s Cairo claims are located

approximately 46 kilometres west of

Kirkland Lake, home to 40 Million ounces of past gold production.

Close proximity to the Young-Davidson Gold Mine which is 6th largest gold

reserve in Canada, with 2.8 Million ounces of gold and is set to begin

production in the 1st quarter of 2012.

CAIRO GOLD PROJECT

THREE PROSPECTIVE ZONES OF GOLD MINERALIZATION

1. The “Endeavour-Craig”claims are situated in the centre of Pro’s 100% owned Cairo Gold Project. Historically, these patented claims were noted to host a long gold carrying vein that ran along the length of the claims north to south; consisting principally of quartz and brecciated syenite with a width of up to 150 feet. In the early 1900’s, a shaft was sunk to a depth of 60 feet with short drifts cutting into the vein. Fine visible gold was reported in the shaft and drifts.

2. The “Whiskyjack” zone – Identified mineralization in the Nothern block of the Cairo. This recently acquired zone was also included in the completed 2011 Airborne survey.

3. The “Galaxy Zone” High-grade silver, copper and lead mineralization in the majority of the blasted trenches. Samples assaying up to 11.35% copper, 26.25 oz/ton silver and 24.45% lead was encountered at the intersection of a quartz vein, one-half metre in width, which contained approximately 20% galena and 20% chalcopyrite. Nearby, a smaller quartz vein of approximately 40% galena was identified.

SHINING TREE GOLD PROJECT

In 2010, an eight hole drilling program

confirmed the presence of quartz-

carbonate veins parallel to major sheared

zone along the Beilby Creek with positive

gold values and alteration. This break is a

regionally significant fault controlling gold

mineralization. The Corona and Churchill

vein system extension is confirmed by

holes PRM10-5 to PRM10-8, inclusive.

Pro Minerals is now analyzing the data it

has received to date in more detail, and

will be utilizing its findings in planning its

next phase of diamond drilling for the

Shining Tree project.
