CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

Forward Looking Information


This Presentation contains forward-looking information and forward looking statements within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States
securities legislation. Forward-looking information may include, but is not limited to, the anticipated production and developments in our operations in future
periods, information with respect to our planned exploration and development activities, the adequacy of our financial resources, the estimation of mineral
reserves and resources including the 2013 Valley of the Kings Mineral Resource estimate, realization of mineral reserve and resource estimates and timing of
development of our Brucejack Project, costs and timing of future exploration, results of future exploration and drilling, production and processing estimates,
capital and operating cost estimates, timelines and similar statements relating to the economic viability of the Brucejack Project, timing and receipt of
approvals, consents and permits under applicable legislation, our executive compensation approach and practice, the composition of our board of directors and
committees and adequacy of financial resources. Wherever possible, words such as plans, expects, projects, assumes, budget, strategy,
scheduled, estimates, forecasts, anticipates, believes, intends, targets and similar expressions or statements that certain actions, events or results
may, could, would, might or will be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative forms of any of these terms and similar expressions, have been
used to identify forward-looking statements and information. Statements concerning mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute
forward-looking information to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed. Any
statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or
performance are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is subject to a variety of known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking
information, including, without limitation, those risks identified in our Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2015 filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and
in the United States on Form 40-F through EDGAR at the SECs website at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking information is based on the expectations and
opinions of our management on the date the statements are made. The assumptions used in the preparation of such statements, although considered
reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise. We do not assume any obligation to update forward-looking information, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by applicable law. For the reasons set forth above, prospective investors should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking information.
National Instrument 43-101
Technical and scientific information contained herein relating to the Projects is derived from National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) compliant technical
reports (Reports) Mineral Resources Update Technical Report dated December 19, 2013 and Feasibility Study and Technical Report on the Brucejack
Project, Stewart, BC dated June 19, 2014. We have filed the Reports and Update under our profile at www.sedar.com. Technical and scientific information
not contained within the Reports for the Projects have been prepared under the supervision of Mr. Kenneth C. McNaughton, P.Eng. and Ian Chang, P.Eng.,
each of whom is an independent qualified person under NI 43-101.
This presentation uses the terms measured resources, indicated resources (together M&I) and inferred resources. Although these terms are recognized
and required by Canadian regulations (under NI 43-101), the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Mineral resources
which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental,
permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. There is no guarantee that all or any part of the mineral resource will be
converted into mineral reserves.
In addition, inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and 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 pre feasibility studies, or economic studies, except for a Preliminary Assessment as defined under NI 43-101. Investors are
cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar values herein are in Canadian $.

Plans and Objectives


40,000 meter infill underground drill program
Primary purpose is grade control, with drilling at 10-meter
centers
Targeting stope areas in years 1-3 of mine plan (1320-meter
