2. Forward Looking Statement – Safe Harbour
Certain information in this presentation may contain forward-looking statements. This information is based on current
expectations that are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Potential risks
include: that U.S. Silver & Gold may not achieve anticipated synergies; loss of key personnel; reduction in the anticipated cash
levels; and, not achieving production goals stated. Actual results might differ materially from results suggested in any forward-
looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in the presentation, including, without
limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization and reserves, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of
U.S. Silver & Gold, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “should”,
“intend”, “believe” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future results and conditions but rather reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to
risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such statements. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate.
U.S. Silver & Gold assume no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results
could differ from those reflected in the forward looking-statements unless and until required by securities laws applicable to the
U.S. Silver & Gold. Additional information identifying risks and uncertainties is contained in filings by U.S. Silver & Gold with
the Canadian securities regulators, which filings are available at www.sedar.com.
An additional Cautionary Note to Investors – In the event that we use certain terms in this presentation, such as “resource”,
“measured resource”, “indicated resource” and “inferred resource”. U.S .investors are cautioned that, while such terms are
recognized and required by Canadian Securities Laws, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not
recognize them. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been
made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination
has been made. U.S. investors should not assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be
converted into reserves. In addition, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to
whether they can be mined legally or economically. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization in this
presentation may not be comparable to information made public by companies that are subject to the SEC’s Industry Guide 7.
Mr. Jim Atkinson, Vice President, Exploration and a Qualified Person under Canadian Securities Administrators guidelines has
approved the applicable contents of this presentation.

Caladay Silver-Lead Zone
• Semi-continuous mineralized zone extending from Galena into
Caladay Mine at depth
- Currently 2,800 vertical feet with estimated strike length of
1,200-3,600 feet and apparent widths of 200-400 feet
• Mineralization comprises broad areas of Ag and Pb containing both
Additional higher and lower grade areas
- Global grades of 3-4 oz/ton Ag and 3 - 5% Pb
- Higher grades are 30-40 % with continuous widths of 15-30 feet
Brownfield ranging from 5-10 oz/ton Ag and 5-11% Pb
• High grade silver copper areas within the broader Caladay Silver-
Lead Zone are currently being evaluated and drilled
Production • Global tonnage target of 60-70 million tons and potential silver
resource of 150-200 million ounces based on over 800 drill holes
• Area is expected to support lower cost bulk mining methods
• Access to adjacent infrastructure at 4900 level will be achieved by end of
Q2 2013
• Test mining in recently identified high grade areas will commence in Q3
2013
•A preliminary plan will be communicated first half of Q1, 2013
* Some of the potential quantities and grades disclosed in this presentation are conceptual in nature. At the current stage of exploration, there is
insufficient drilling to determine the extent of continuity of the mineralization required to define a mineral resource for all mineralization at the Galena
Mine Complex and Drumlummon Mine. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in certain exploration targets being delineated as a mineral resource.
