2 Forward-looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future (including, without limitation, statements regarding exploration results, potential mineralization, future plans and objectives of the Company and mineral resources) are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the current expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on the Company. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in commodity prices, changes in equity markets, changes to regulations affecting the Company's activities, the uncertainties involved in interpreting exploration results and other geological data and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration industry. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Although the Company believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. 2

11 Golden Highway Project: Southwest Zone 100% owned with no underlying encumbrances or royalties Discovered by Moneta in Barrick drilled 78 holes in $4.5 million JV program from Barrick developed historical inferred resource of 624,500 ounces 3M tonnes averaging 6 g/t with 3-4 g/t cutoff Barrick was seeking high-grade mill feed for Holt-McDermott Mill 1km of strike length based on drilling to-date Deposit is mineralized broadly to 450m depth Mineralized intersections at 1,000m Potential to extend the deposit east, west south and at depth NI resource estimate to be completed 11

12 Golden Highway Project: Windjammer Joint Venture Acquired 50% interest from Newmont in November million shares issued (4.4%) with 12-month hold period Moneta is operator 22 leased claim units No underlying encumbrances or royalties Two gold zones identifed by Noranda drilling in mid-1980s Windjammer South Windjammer North Contiguous with eastern end of Golden Highway Project 12

13 Golden Highway Project: Windjammer South Initial NI resource estimate (July 2008) 154,000oz (2.1M 2.1 g/t Au) Summer drill program near completion to expand NI resource On strike 1 km northeast from the Southwest Zone Gold mineralization over 400m strike length Defined to 350m depth by 23 Noranda drill holes and confirmed by 3 Moneta drill holes in 2007 Single hole mineralized past 1,000m depth Potential to expand the deposit east, west, south and at depth 13

14 Golden Highway Project: Windjammer North On strike with Moneta mineralized zones north of the Destor Twin Creeks Zone, Last Chance Zone, and Landing Zone Gold mineralization over 400m strike length Defined by 21 Noranda drill holes Altered mafic volcanics similar to Holloway Mine 20 km away Quartz vein intercepts typical of Timmins camp Deposit is more complex than Windjammer South Potential to expand deposit in all directions & at depth 14

15 Golden Highway Project: Michaud Joint Venture 50/50 joint venture with Acrex Ventures Ltd. 65 claim units (~ 10% of the Golden Highway Project) 55 Zone Identified by 26 drill holes On strike west from Southwest Zone 350m mineralized strike length defined to depth of 350m Highlights from 8-hole program from 2008: 9.68 g/t Potential for additional 2km mineralized corridor including Western Zone Dyment3 15
