3. Why Invest in Magellan?
• 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
• Experienced Management: 150+ years of mining experience, track
record for discovery. Management is previously responsible for
discovery of the nearby Tocantinzinho deposit (2.5Moz), now owned
by Eldorado Gold
• Projects: two organic, grass roots gold discoveries so far - and
building…
• Cuiu Cuiu – 1.3Moz gold resource (100,000oz indic +
1.2Moz inf), drilling with 3 rigs
• Coringa – 370,000 oz gold resource (270,000oz indic +
100,000oz inf), drilling with 3 rigs
• Key Stakeholders: Newmont Mining owns 2.5%; Kinross owns 1%
• Strong Cash Position: $20.5 M in treasury – Q2, 2011

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)
• Kinross, Eldorado and Newmont are active. Eldorado
acquired Tocantinzinho for $122M during mid 2010.
Eldorado also spent $5M on a 27% stake in Serabi Mining in
2010

7. Cuiú Cuiú’s Relation to Tocantinzinho
• Cuiú Cuiú is one of the two Cuiu Cuiu
largest historic garimpeiro gold 2Moz from streams
+1.3Moz resource
producers in the Tapajós* to date
• Tocantinzinho deposit is 1.5
km (2.5Moz resource) long
and produced an est. Tocantinzinho
0.2Moz from streams
200,000oz of gold from 2.5Moz resource
artisanal surface workings **
• Cuiú Cuiú is 12 km long and
25 km NW of Tocantinzinho
and produced 2Moz from
streams
• Eldorado’s PFS complete with
an 11.8% IRR. A FS is the next
step. Will make a construction
decision by the end of 2011

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.

* These resources are constrained by mineable shapes and cut-off grades to meet the requirement that resources must have reasonable prospects for economic

15 grades 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.

16. Cuiú Cuiú – Moving forward in 2011
• Drilling with four rigs (25,000m
program) – extensions to MG and
Central. Also drilling at J Baixo, J
Cima, Babi, Miraboa and Miraboa W
targets
• Metallurgical test work
• Follow up of other areas with extensive
alluvial gold workings to NW and E
• Updated resource estimate by end
2011

17. Coringa
• 0.3 Moz of Indicated resources and 0.1 Moz of Inferred gold identified
within three zones, Serra, Meio and Galena – average grade of 9g/t gold
• PEA returned NPV of US$82.5M and IRR is 59% @ US$1200 per oz
• 1.8km of 10km of structures drilled in detail to date. Recent soil sampling
suggests potential for additional +7km of untested structures
• 235 sq km concession, 100% owned
• 10,000m of drilling (3 rigs) planned outside existing resources for 2011
17

18. Coringa – excellent infrastructure
• Located 200km SE of Cuiu Cuiu
• Magellan controls 23,500 ha at Coringa
and has a ROFR on surrounding 180,000
ha
• Located 65km SE of town of Novo
Progreso, 21km E of main BR-163
• Mains power (138kv line) occurs 21km to
west of project
• Ease of permitting due to municipal zone
designation
18

19. Coringa – largely untested
• Sub-vertically dipping quartz veins
within volcanics and granites
• Diamond drilling (11,000m) has Valdette
defined >10 km of gold-bearing
veins, of which only 1.8km have
detailed drilling information
• Resource identified in three high
grade zones: Galena, Serra, Meio
• Vein system is open in all
directions Demetrio
• Two new zones discovered
recently: Valdette and Demitrio

21. 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
21

22. Coringa – Scoping Study
• Scoping study indicates a project
IRR of 34% and an NPV @ 5% of
$41.3M assuming $950 per oz
• Based on 400t/d cut and fill
underground mine producing
36,000oz / yr. Processing via
crushing and CIL circuit
• Initial Capex of US$26.4M.
Operating cash cost of US$418/oz
and payback period of 3.7 years
Coringa Camp
• Process recovery = 93.8%. Actual
recoveries at Serra and Meio are
99.0% and 97.7% respectively
• NPV @ $1200 per oz is US$82.5M
and IRR is 59%
