Investment HighlightsAn Early Opportunity in Developed Gold Regions
The combined AuRo Resources and White Gold will possess a large and diverse
strategic property portfolio of approximately 70,000 hectares within Colombia's most
prolific gold, silver and copper exploration and mining regions
Antioquia is the largest gold producing region in Colombia - over 1 million ounces of
gold production in 2009
“El Tesoro” is “drill ready” & approximately 20 km from B2Gold`s Gramalote project,
will be Colombia’s 1st open pit mine
Strong Fundamentals
Key Infrastructure in place: Projects are readily accessible by Road, Rail and Rivers
Favourable Mining Code - 30 year term for Exploration,
Construction & Exploitation
Strong Balance Sheet: Over $2.5 Million in cash

Technical Advisors
Tony Floyd, P. Geo
Mr. Floyd obtained his academic credentials in the United Kingdom. First with a B.Sc. Honours degree in geology from the University of
Nottingham and then a M.Sc in Mineral Exploration and Mining Geology from the University of Leicester. In 1987 he formed Bridger
Resources Inc. Bridger was one of the first juniors to conduct exploration and development in Chile. In 1990 Bridger became a high
grade gold producer from its La Pepa project in the Maricunga district of Chile. In 1993 political change in Peru led Mr Floyd to form
Inca Pacific Resources Inc. Inca Pacific was amongst the first wave of explorers in Peru which allowed it to assemble an impressive
portfolio of prospects. In 1999 this came to fruition when a very significant discovery was made at its Magistral Copper/Molybdenum
property.
In 2002, Ross Beaty, Anthony Floyd and Robert Pirooz founded the Lumina Copper Group (comprised of Lumina Copper Corp. and its
successor companies: Regalito Copper Corp., Lumina Resources Corp., Northern Peru Copper Corp. and Global Copper Corp.), of
which: Regalito Copper Corp. was acquired by Pan Pacific Copper Co., Ltd. for approximately CAD $135 million in 2006; Lumina
Resources Corp. was acquired by Western Copper Corp. for approximately CAD $27 million in 2006; Northern Peru Copper Corp. was
acquired by China Minmetals Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd. and Jiangxi Copper Company Ltd. for approximately CAD $455 million in
January 2008; and Global Copper Corp. was acquired by Teck Cominco Limited for approximately CAD $415 million in August 2008.
Mr. Floyd is currently chairman of Inca Pacific Resources Inc.
Bert Jeffries, P. Geo
Mr. Jeffries is a graduate of the Mackay School of Mines, University of Nevada-Reno, with a Bachelor of Science degree in geology. He
is a registered professional geologist with over 30 years of experience across the mining spectrum, ranging from exploration to project
and construction management. As part of the original Cordex exploration syndicate in Nevada, Mr. Jeffries contributed to multiple
discoveries including the Pinson, Florida Canyon, Sterling and Prebble gold mines. He also worked as a consulting geologist,
managing exploration that resulted in the discovery of the Beartrack gold mine in Idaho.
In the area of mine-construction management, Mr. Jeffries has worked extensively for major and mid-tier miners, including Barrick
Gold, Western Goldfields and Kinross Gold. He was a member of the Barrick team that developed and constructed the Pierina gold
mine in Peru, the Bulyanhulu gold mine in Tanzania and the Veladero gold mine in Argentina. During this period, he also worked in
Chile as the project manager for the El Indio and Tambo gold mine closure project, and worked on Barrick's Pascua Lama project in
Chile-Argentina and the Lagunas Norte project in Peru. More recently, Mr. Jeffries managed construction for Western Goldfields'
Mesquite gold mine in Southern California and Kinross Gold's Fort Knox gold mine in Alaska.

Summary of Geochemical Survey
Results compiled by SGS Laboratories, Medellin.
11
AuRo recently completed a detailed soil geochemical program over an area of
approximately 1.1 km by 4 km that resulted in the collection and analyses of 979
soil samples
Samples were collected at a depth of 0.75 to 1.00 m at 50 m intervals on NE oriented
gridlines spaced 100m apart
Gold values in soils ranged from below detection up to a high of 506 ppb
Identified 3 gold-in-soil anomalies in the Southern Zone of the license
These will be tested by an initial drill campaign to be commenced for a total of
1,000 meters
5 holes of 200 meters
This will dually present intelligence on the vein extension within El Tesoro & the
producing Argentina Mine

White Gold Transaction
Overview of White Gold
• Through its wholly-owned Colombian subsidiary, Oro Barracuda SAS., White Gold has solicited nearly
70,000 hectares in Colombia for mineral exploration.
Surata Gold Project – Santander
• Interests in approximately 20,000 hectares located approximately 10-25 kilometres from Ventana Gold Corp.'s
La Bodega project and Greystar's Angostura project.
• Initial samples include sulphide bearing (pyritic) quartz veins with assays up to 3.06 g/t gold. These samples
possessed a fairly unique geochemical signature with a strong epithermal association including elevated
arsenic, antimony, bismuth and copper.
Arboledas Gold Project – Norte de Santander
• Interests in approximately 15,000 hectares located approximately 18-25 kilometres north of the La Bodega and
Angostura deposits. Gold has been identified in areas exposed by landslides and active artisanal mining.
La Colosa Gold Projects – Tolima and Quindio
• . The land package totals approximately 31,000 hectares, with the closest group of concessions approximately
12km from the La Colosa deposit. With reported resources of 12.3 million ounces, La Colosa is the largest new
gold discovery in Colombia.

Endeavour to be recognized for superior
community relations in the international mining
industry
Consult with communities to gain an
appreciation and understanding of their needs
and expectations
Seek to employ Colombian nationals in jobs
where possible
