3. Magellan at a Glance
• Region with Excellent Potential: the Tapajos is the World’s third
largest placer gold province, estimated to have produced 20-30 Moz
from streams between 1978 and 1995 from artisanal, garimpeiro-
type miners

record for discovery. Tocantinzinho deposit (2.5Moz), now owned by
Eldorado Gold. 3 grass roots gold discoveries totaling 4.2Moz in 7
years.

5. The Tapajos : World’s Third Largest Placer Gold Belt
• Site of the world’s largest ever gold rush from 1970’s to 1990’s
• Largest alluvial gold province in Brazil, third largest alluvial gold
province in world – previous production from streams estimated
at 20-30 Moz of gold
• Geology is similar to other prolific gold belts (e.g. Eastern
Canada, Western Australia). World-class potential
• Under-explored province. One mid-size deposit discovered so
far: Tocantinzinho (2.5 Moz) which is currently undergoing
feasibility
• Kinross, Eldorado and Newmont are active. Eldorado acquired
Tocantinzinho for $122M during mid 2010 and is completing a
feasibility study. Eldorado also spent $5M on a 27% stake in
Serabi Mining in 2010

Resources
* Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Please note that all figures have been rounded to reflect their
appropriate level of accuracy.
* These resources are constrained by mineable shapes and cut-off grades to meet the requirement that resources must have reasonable prospects for economic
extraction. The mineable shapes are either Lerch-Grossman pits or conceptual underground stopes. Resources falling within the pits are reported at cut-off grades
12 of 0.3 gpt Au for fresh rock or 0.4 gpt Au for saprolite. Stope shapes only include blocks above a cut-off grade of 1.3 gpt Au. The cut-off grades consider a gold
price of $1,250 per ounce and metallurgical recoveries of 91% for fresh rock and 66% for saprolite.

Serra
Meio
• Currently drilling with 3 rigs on deep
extensions to Serra and Meio and
on new zones
• New major structures identified:
Valdette, Demetrio and Domingo,
adding +5km of total strike length to

date) returned values of 37m @
0.79g/t and 28m @ 0.64 g/t at
Valdette and 5.5m @ 6.49g/t gold at

22. Coringa – Resource Estimate
Assumes 2g/t Au cut-off, SG of 2.7t/m3 and minimum mining width of 1.5m
Resource represents less
than 20% of vein system
discovered to date
Raising the cut-off grade
to 5 g/t gold results in a
M&I resource of 0.563 Mt
@ 12.37 g/t gold
(223,914oz) and an
inferred resource of 0.178
Mt @ 14.65 g/t gold
(83,873oz) on a diluted
basis

23. Coringa – Upside
• Recent soil sampling has identified
Au in streams
additional new and untested gold in
soil anomalies
• 10,000m step-out drill program began
March 2011 & is aimed at expanding
resources, 10,170m completed to
date
• Updated resource estimate planned
for Q1 2012.
• Feasibility study planned to
commence mid-late 2012

25. Mato Grosso JV
• Magellan has a 35% - 50% interest in
320,000ha of the Baixada Cuiaba gold belt
in southern Mato Grosso
• Excellent access with power and water. Flat
terrain - cattle farming
• The belt is characterised by an E-W
Proterozoic fold and thrust schist belt
extending 100km in length
• Approx. 30 small open pit mines are
currently in production. +100 abandoned
open pits. Rocks have very low work index
• Belt has potential to host several large low
grade (0.5 – 1.0g/t) Au deposits
• RC drilling program expected to start early
