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 – 370,000oz 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: $12M in treasury

6. 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

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
13 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.

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

24. Coringa – Domingo
• New mineralized
structure identified and
