A Visionary
Mr. Joseph Grosso is a respected entrepreneur with extensive international business
experience having operated for decades in North/South America as well as in various
European and Asian countries. Of Italian descent and fluent in Italian, English and
Spanish, Mr. Grosso lived in Argentina and Peru where he acquired a very deep
appreciation for Latin culture and successfully developed a vast network of contacts
which have been very beneficial to the associated companies of the Grosso Group.
Mr. Grosso has developed a strong network of long-term national and international
financial relationships. He has experience in financing, marketing strategies and has
successfully formed strategic alliances and negotiated with mining industry majors
such as Barrick, Teck, Newmont, Yamana Gold and Vale S.A.
During a family visit to Argentina in 1993, Argentina’s undeveloped geology east of
Chile was the great motivator for Mr. Grosso’s career change into the mining industry
where he became a mining pioneer in Argentina and thereafter discovered the
world-class Gualcamayo project, now in production by Yamana Gold. Mr. Grosso’s
additional discoveries include the world-class Navidad silver deposit now held by Pan
American Silver; the Rio Tabaconas gold project and now he is on the trail of yet
another discovery with the Chinchillas silver project.
Led 3 major discoveries:
Navidad (Pan American Silver)
Gualcamayo (Yamana)

Mandate to Deliver Value
PRIORITY #1: Achieve Value for Chinchillas Silver Deposit
Chinchillas is still an unknown and its’ value is not being reflected in its’ share price.
Marketing programs have commenced in order to target:
ANALYST COMMUNITY – a technical presentation has been created and will be
marketed via our technical team beginning May 13th, 2013. Use as springboard
to enter the institutional market.
BROKER NETWORK – broker meetings have commenced in Vancouver, Calgary,
Toronto and some small communities in Midwest USA.
RETAIL AUDIENCE – four initiatives underway.
1) Social Media channels have been created.
2) Engaged the influential newsletter community.
3) Attending tradeshows and presenting situation.
4) Traditional investor relations functions.

A Timely Opportunity
✔ RARE OPPORTUNITY – current market weakness has created an opportunity to
buy into Chinchillas for free (net of cash position).
✔ LOW RISK – by calculating cash as a percentage of market cap, Golden Arrow
is among the best financed juniors on the TSX venture market.
✔ FAST TRACK TO PRODUCTION – Chinchillas is a “deposit for the times” due to its
several advantages as a near term production candidate.
✔ ANOTHER GROSSO GROUP DISCOVERY - investors get:
Comfort of 20 years operating experience in Argentina.
To invest alongside management & insiders who own 52%.
To participate with a seasoned team with 3 discoveries in the past.
✔ RELATIVE VALUE ANOMALY – Vis-à-vis its peers, GRG is massively discounted and
using recent transactions as a benchmark.

1. Resources in Table 1 are reported at 50g/t Ag equivalent (Ag Eq) cut-off, at $27/oz Ag, $0.85/lb Zn and $0.85/lb Pb at 100% recovery.
2. Silver equivalent calculations were used because of the contribution to revenue that Pb and Zn add to the deposit, especially in the
zinc rich Socavon del Diablo Zone
3. Golden Arrow has not completed an economic evaluation to calculate the cut-off grade. A cut-off grade of 50 g/t Ag Eq is used for
reporting purposes as 50 g/t Ag is utilized by Silver Standard at their Pirquitas Mining operation located 30kms from Chinchillas.
4. Totals may not add correctly due to rounding
5. Resources are classified according to their proximity to sample data locations and are reported, as required under NI 43-101, according
to the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. Mineral resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not
have demonstrated economic viability. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources are uncertain in nature and there has
been insufficient exploration to classify these inferred resources as Indicated or Measured, and it is uncertain if further exploration will
result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured category.

Joseph Grosso is a respected entrepreneur with
extensive international business experience having
operated for decades in North/South America as well
as in various European and Asian countries.
Mr. Grosso visited family in Argentina in 1993 and
coincidentally met a pre-eminent geologist and
professor at the University of Buenos Aires who
introduced him to the potential of discovering mining
deposits in Argentina. This encounter together with
Argentina’s undeveloped geology east of Chile was
the great motivator for Mr. Grosso’s career change
into the mining industry where he became a mining
pioneer forming the Grosso Group and establishing
Minas Argentina S.A. (MASA) and thereafter
discovering the world-class Gualcamayo project.
The trail of discoveries continues with GRG’s new
flagship Chinchillas Project which has the promise of a
very large deposit in the making and is located in the
province of Jujuy, Argentina within the well-known
Bolivian/Silver/Zinc belt that extends into Argentina.
1993 Argentina
A vision for a Mining Destination
22. 22
22GRG.V
Our confidence in Argentina as a mining destination remains strong
with the Company’s management team having successfully
operated there since 1993 with an affinity for the culture, managing
risks and creating positive economies in remote regions. The Grosso
Group member companies have the advantage today of holding
approximately 900,000 hectares of properties (approximately
2,200,000 acres).
Argentina has:
Sprawling discoveries and promising geology
145 mining companies operating in Argentina among them key
industry leaders who continue advancing world-class projects
Investment growth up to 72% in 2012
Superior infrastructure compared to other South American
countries with an educated and skilled labour force
A liberal Mining Code and one of the lowest property holding
fees in South America
Stable government / regulatory systems throughout the country
Improved in ranking by 11 points as evidenced in the Fraser
Institute Mining Survey of 2012 which ranked Argentina as the
second best mining destination after Chile in South America.
