Tonogold’s Acquisition of

Prospect Uranium, Inc.

• Tonogold’s Board of Directors believes that consolidation of Prospect Uranium into Tonogold will increase Tonogold’s reserves of cash and marketable securities, reduce administrative costs, expand Tonogold’s shareholder base, improve market liquidity and trading volume for Tonogold shares and increase shareholder value for Tonogold’s current shareholders.

• Tonogold plans to purchase the 60.875% of Prospect that it does not already own.

• Tonogold will pay with common stock equal to:

– 70% times the total net book value of Prospect (this amount represents the pro-rated net book value of Prospect plus a 15% premium) PLUS

– the pro-rated face amount of debt now owed by Tonogold to Prospect (about $320,000).

• New Tonogold shares will be issued to Prospect shareholders based on the trailing 30 days’ average price for Tonogold common shares as reported through OTC Markets, Inc. at www.pinksheets.com.

• Each of Tonogold’s current directors has an interest in Prospect. In aggregate, they own 11.737% of Prospect.

• Tonogold currently owns 39.125% of Prospect.

• Any dissenting Prospect shareholders will have the right to demand an independent valuation of the transaction’s fairness.

• The closing is expected to occur by mid-August 2011.

• The final terms of the transaction may differ and are subject to final approval by Tonogold’s Board of Directors. If Tonogold’s Board of Directors determines that the final transaction terms are not in the interests of Tonogold’s shareholders, the Board will not consummate the proposed transaction.

# of Prospect Shares (not already owned) 30,968,800

Tonogold Shares per Prospect Share 0.30272

Tonopah Divide, Nevada

• What now?

• Informal Assessment of WT

Cohan Mining Engineers (positive)

• Does this fit in Centerra’s

portfolio? (<1 mill oz gold equiv. -

too small)

• Southern-Central Nevada has

seen increased exploration &

mining activity

• Drilling success at nearby

Hasbrouck Mountain

• Conclusion: Tonopah Divide has a

valuable land package and

modest discoveries. More drilling

needed to get inferred resource.

Mineral Mountain Project

Exploration Upside

• Past Exploration Drill Holes

were shallow <350 feet

• Current resource in surface

sandstones

• Evidence of mineralization in

Paleozoic limestones beneath

the sandstones (test this

hypothesis w/ deeper drilling)

• If limestones and contact zone

sufficiently mineralized the

resource could be much bigger

• Also: follow up good drill holes

in the Butcher Knife and Oro Vista areas
