Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements herein may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicablesecurities laws. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, appear in a number ofplaces and are generally, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “intends”, “expects”, “plans”,“anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects”, “assumes”, “potential” and similar expressions and phrases orstatements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or beachieved. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company’s exploration and developmentplans, and the consummation of its planned reverse take-over (“RTO”) of a publically traded company. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while consideredreasonable at the time they are made, are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factorswhich may cause actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different fromany future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Suchrisks include the Company’s limited operating history, the Company’s need for significant additional capital, goldprice volatility, changes in the equity markets, the uncertainties involved in interpreting geological data, the validityof the Company’s title to its properties, increases in costs and exchange rate fluctuations, the Company’sdependence on key personnel and environmental and other risks involved in the gold exploration, mining anddevelopment industry as more fully described in the Company’s risk factors attached as Exhibit 5 to the subscriptionagreement. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements referenced herein will prove to be accurate,as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements or information.Also, many of the factors are beyond the control of JKR Gold Resources Inc.

Board and Management*
• Founded by mining industry veterans with vast Nevada experience• Successful in all aspects – discovery, exploration, funding, development,
and monetization• Technical team ran Newmont’s Nevada exploration program that
developed the Rain exploration model– Discovered Rain, Deep Rain and Emigrant Springs – 6Moz+ Au
Advisors and Consultants • Jonathan Rubenstein• Mike Jones• Dwight Juras• Buster Hunsaker• David Cole
Technical Team*• Dave Mathewson – VP Exploration, Director• Warren Thompson
Management*• Jonathan Awde – President, CEO, Director• Mike Waldkirch – CFO, Director• Richard Silas – Director, Corporate Secretary

Mission Statement
• Discover district-scale gold deposits within the prolific Carlin Trend located in north-central Nevada– The gold mining majors deplete their Nevada reserves by over
6Moz+ Au per annum – ounces not being replaced through current exploration efforts
• Utilize major mining company geological expertise, consistently proven Nevada geological models in conjunction with newly compiled data sets
• Focus on two highly prospective district-scale, multi-million ounce gold discovery opportunities– The JKR team has a proven track record of discovering world-class
gold deposits within Nevada’s most prolific gold districts
6
• Approximately 300Moz of gold discovered and defined to date
• Annual gold production in Nevada exceeds 6Moz – 82% of US gold production
• Over $6 billion invested in infrastructure – processing facilities nearby JKR properties
• Premium valuations achieved for new ounces of gold discovered
North-Central Nevada – Prolific Gold Trends
7
• The Carlin Trend is host to several of Newmont’s and Barrick’s largest gold assets
• JKR’s 100% owned projects represent the last vastly underexplored district in the Carlin Trend– Carlin Trend once called
the Railroad-Pinon Trend• JKR technical team
responsible last significant Carlin gold discovery –Newmont’s adjacent Rain District

Historical Developments
6
Railroad• Silver/Lead/Copper mining operations 1869-1887• Modern gold exploration began in 1980 with discovery of
Rain deposit 4 mi north• ~100,000 feet in 252 holes drilled • Total of ~$25M spent by previous owners and ~$5M spent to date by JKR
Crescent Valley North (CVN)• Little historical exploration conducted on CVN property
– 4,920 feet in 5 RC holes drilled in 2004– 226 soil and chip samples taken in 2007
• Total of $220k spent by previous owners

Railroad Project• District-scale, under-explored
gold project on the prolific Carlin Trend
• Property position approx 9,000 acres (14 sq mi)
• Adjacent to Newmont’s Rain and Emigrant Springs mines – 6Moz+ and growing
• Railroad has potential for composite multi-million ounce discovery– Hosts previously identified
POD deposit (~175koz Au)– High-grade underground drill
intercepts• New 43-101completed December
2009
11
• High-grade gold mineralization exists predominantly in brecciated regions within the Webb Mudstone and Devils Gate limestone– As co-discovered by Dave
Mathewson in Newmont’s Rain District
• Deposits typically align along flanks of feeder structures– Feeder structures require
advanced geological and geophysical exploration techniques
• JKR will deploy model-driven advanced exploration techniques on its Railroad Project
Railroad/Rain Geological Cross Section
12
• Railroad’s adjoining Rain District has approximately 6M+ oz/Au and growing.
• The structural complexity of Railroad offers excellent potential to discover similar deposits to Rain.
Railroad Gravity
13
Crescent Valley North Project (CVN)• Approximately 3400 acres (5.4
sq mi) within the Miocene Bonanza Vein Belt
• Project is in a range-margin setting between the Carlin and Battle Mountain-Eureka gold trends – Approximately 10 mi west
of Railroad Project• Large epithermal vein system
– Identified strike length of over 4 mi
– Analogous to the Sleeper, Midas and Comstock deposits
13
14
CVN Geological Cross Section • Limited previous exploration
has established bonanza-style high-grade vein characteristics
• Vein textures and composition suggest upper levels of bonanza vein system
• Bonanza-style deposits are of exceptional grade – Potential for low cost,
highly profitable mining operation
15
RTO by way of Plan of Arrangement (POA)• Signed agreements to effect an RTO of Pubco, a Tier 2 company listed on TSX
Venture Exchange • Pubco will issue shares to acquire JKR on 1-for-1 basis• Post RTO share structure: 11.6% original Pubco shareholders, 88.4% JKR
shareholders(1) on a fully diluted basis
Post Financing Share Structure(1)
• Total pro forma shares outstanding of 37.0M, 43.0M fully diluted – $6.0M in cash – two years of aggressive drilling
• 8.9% Pubco shareholders (3.3M shares/1.5M warrants)• 66.7% original JKR shareholders (24.7M shares)• 24.4% JKR private placement investors (9.0M shares, no hold period, no escrow)
