1Yamarna Belt:
A New Gold
Region
Major New Gold Region
One of the most prospective, but least explored greenstone belts in WA
First – and only – Company to systematically explore the region, discovered in 1990s
Exceptional exploration successes since 2009:
o 13 new gold discoveries in 30 months
o > 100 gold targets
o JORC Resource of >1.2M oz Au so far
o 2009 discovery of high grade Central Bore
o Identification of 5 high-priority Gold Camps

Unlocking the potential of a new gold region:The Yamarna Belt’Highlights• Three new gold targets identified at the Central Bore Area• Discovery of multiple new gold anomalies on the 33 kilometre Attila Trend– Tatar, VTEM, Western Ultramafics and two new zones at Khan North• Elvis prospect represents a possible parallel gold trend to the Attila Trend• Numerous high-grade gold values intercepted along the Attila Trend• Numerous high-grade gold values intercepted across the Central Bore Area• Discovery of Dead Dog and Koopman’s Find gold prospect on the Tobin Hill gold trend• Discovery of Dorothy Hills (north) gold prospect on the Dorothy Hills Trend• Gold mineralisation at Dorothy Hills extended to 1.5 kilometres• Gold mineralisation at Tobin Hill extended to 1.1 kilometres• Measured and Indicated categories of Central Bore Project Resource increased to 94%• Successful Central Bore Project Scoping Study underpinned its viability as a standalone project
EXPLORATION
• Drilled more than 170,000 metres
o Discovered 11 prospects and anomalies
• Completed macro review of entire belt to identify high-priority gold camps (9 months of work)
DEVELOPMENT
• Measured and Indicated categories of Central Bore Resource increased to 94%
• Scoping Study confirms viability of mining at Yamarna

“Greenstones of Yamarna Terrane are similar in age and character to
the Kalgoorlie Terrane”
Geological Survey of Western Australia, Oct 2010
Underlines Yamarna as a new gold region with potential for multi-million ounces of gold
Kalgoorlie Belt has produced more than 120M oz of gold
Yamarna is the fourth gold-rich shear zone on the world-class Yilgarn Craton

Conceptual targeting: Kalgoorlie Region
Similar Geology to Kalgoorlie Gold Belt
Using 130 years of experience from the Kalgoorlie Belt for Yamarna
Allows quick, cost-effective generation of potential world-class gold targets
Conceptual Targeting
Gold deposits shown on Gravity image:
Located on gravity high (red=high/ heavy, blue=low/light)
Thin coloured lines, called gravity worms, define edge of heavy rocks
Gold mainly on gravity high or near breaks/edges of gravity high

High Priority Gold Camps
Five High Priority Gold Camps
Hosts multiple gold prospects
Each camp ~15 to 20km long (~80km2)
Exploration at Tobin Hill commenced
Gold Camps identified using:
New gravity and aeromag images
Presence of gravity high
Presence of ultramafic/mafic rocks in centre of basin
Size of sub basin (based on geology)

Regional Work Program (initial)
5 Priority Camps identified:
– 17 targets identified
Phase 1 – started Oct 2012:
– Review historic sampling/drilling across 5 Camps
– Start with Tobin Hill Camp:
Geophysical Target survey (SAM)
Geochem testing
~20,000m drilling
Phase 2 - Starting Jan 2013:
– Targeting other Camps:
SAM / Geochem testing
~100,000m of Drilling
14
Tobin Hill SAM & Soil Surveys
SAM & Soil surveys at Tobin Hill already identified nine anomalies:
One anomaly coincident with Koopman’s Find/Dead Dog trend and its northern extension
Two anomalies identified at Tobin Hill East coincident with gold in surface geochemistry
Two anomalies identified at Tobin Hill South over Permian cover
Four anomalies at Tobin Hill East
Follow up drill program at Tobin Hill starts next week

The information in this presentation which relates to Exploration Results or Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Ziggy Lubieniecki, an Executive Director of Gold Road Resources Limited, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Lubieniecki has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Lubieniecki consents to the inclusion in the presentation of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.
The information in this report which relates to the Gold Mineral Resource estimates are based on geostatistical modeling by Ravensgate using sample information and geological interpretation supplied by Gold Road. The Mineral Resource estimates were undertaken by Don Maclean, a Principal Consultant. Mr Maclean is the competent person responsible for the Resource and a Member of the Australasian Institute of Geoscientists and has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he has undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.” Mr Maclean consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.
