7 Burkina Faso Projects

8 Balogo Project (Burkina Faso) Netiana Gold Discovery Near surface under 2m of soil cover No artisanal miners Multiple, high grade gold quartz vein lodes Oxide intercepts include: 57m at 40.6 g/t gold, incl. 8m at 245 g/t gold 31m at 65.6 g/t gold, incl. 6m at 308 g/t gold 22m at 13.6 g/t gold, incl. 2m at 91.5 g/t gold Fresh intercepts include: 13m at 111 g/t gold, incl. 4m at 343 g/t gold 12m at 20.5 g/t gold, incl. 3m at 77.8 g/t gold 7m at 22.8 g/t gold, incl. 2m at 72.3 g/t gold Average weighted grade is 15 g/t gold (uncut) Lodes strike for 400m (open) Continuity & geometry of the lodes confirmed to 85m depth Potential for significant depth extensions

9 Plan of the Netiana Lodes at Balogo

10 Netiana Lodes: Drill Section 10,025N

11 Proposed Work for Netiana Potential for low capex/low cost /high margin open pit operation on a resource at Netiana Deeper diamond drilling underway o o o 19 holes (3,100m HQ diamond, 1,400m RC recollars) Diamond drilling to test 85m 200m Some infill & twin diamond holes Metallurgical test work underway Targeting maiden JORC resource estimate by end 2012 Scoping study anticipated for early 2013 Considerable scope for further discoveries in the vicinity of Netiana Gravity survey completed 3D IP survey planned for January ,000m auger drilling planned for December 2012

12 Exploration Potential at Balogo High grade gold quartz vein mineralisation Potential for additional high grade gold deposits Focus on discrete magnetic anomalies Past soil sampling ineffective IOCG-style gold and copper mineralisation 11m at 2.2 g/t gold, 2.7% copper, incl. 3m at 5.8 g/t gold, 8.2% copper 24m at 1.4 g/t gold, 0.9% copper (EOH) Current drilling over 2.3km Magnetic anomaly extends for >5km

13 Yako Project (Burkina Faso) Strategic location o o o Riverstone Resources (3.4Moz Karma Project) to west Cluff Gold (0.6Moz Sega Project) to east Cluff Gold s 0.8 Moz Kalsaka Mine located 16km SE 6 major artisanal mining sites Multiple oxide gold-mineralised zones intersected over 1.4km Better intercepts include: 15m at 5.0 g/t gold 12m at 5.7 g/t gold 19m at 4.1 g/t gold New targets outlined in structural study Proposed Work Program 40,000m of auger drilling underway RC drilling of target areas (March 2013)

14 Sebba Project (Burkina Faso) 1,928km 2 area 3 major regional shear zones (over 140km) Active artisanal gold workings Visible gold in quartz veining Extensive gold-in-soil anomalies with assays up to 14.5 g/t gold High grade rock chips up to 184 g/t gold Significant RAB intercepts up to 8m at 2.43 g/t gold Proposed Work Program 5,000m of RC drilling scheduled for January 2013

15 Divestments Mali Golden Rim s 2 gold projects (Sepola and Faraba) are being divested Include an Inferred Resource of 181,000 ounces at 1.5 g/t gold Site visits late November Final offers due in mid-december 2012 Sweden Golden Rim s Abu Dhabi alliance company, Royal Falcon Mining LLC is divesting its interest in the Falun and Bersbo gold-base metal projects

16 Continuous News Flow November 2012 Preliminary Netiana metallurgy First Phase 3 Netiana diamond drilling results Balogo gravity survey Commencement of 40,000m auger drilling at Yako December 2012 Phase 3 Netiana diamond drilling results Maiden JORC resource for Netiana Commencement of 20,000m auger drilling at Balogo Yako auger drilling results Divestment of Mali assets January 2013 Commencement of Scoping Study at Netiana* Commencement of 5,000m RC drilling at Sebba Balogo & Yako auger drilling results 3D IP survey at Balogo *This work is dependent on the size and grade of the JORC resource and the results of the metallurgical testwork End Q1/2013 Commencement of Feasibility Study at Netiana* Upgraded JORC resource for Netiana* Sebba drilling results Commencement of RC drilling at Yako *Dependent on the success of earlier work

17 Investment Highlights Current deep drilling is seeking to establish Netiana as Golden Rim s first mining project Maiden JORC resource for Netiana is expected by end of 2012 Conceptual work suggests Netiana has the potential to support a low capex/low cost/high margin operation from a compact, high grade, open pit Scoping Study is anticipated to commence in early 2013 Further exploration around Netiana has the potential to identify satellite high grade gold deposits Golden Rim s other projects in Burkina Faso are highly prospective and further discoveries are anticipated
