2 Cautionary Statement Statements and material contained in this Presentation, particularly those regarding possible or assumed future performance, production levels or rates, resources or potential growth of Primary Gold Limited (PGO), industry growth or other trend projections are, or may be, forward looking statements. Such statements relate to future events and expectations and, as such, involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Although PGO believes that the expectations contained in any forward looking statements in this presentation are, as at the date of this presentation, made on a reasonable basis, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results and the timing of such results may differ materially from those herein described. Factors which may impact on future performance and cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward looking statements include, without limitation, changes in commodity prices, exchange rates, PGO s access to capital and general and market conditions. This presentation may describe Measured, Indicated and/or Inferred Resources. Inferred Resources have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and greater uncertainty as to their economic feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of any Inferred Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Exploration is an inherently risky proposition and investors are advised that most exploration projects fail to identify economic resources. The Company has at present not confirmed the economic viability of any resources at the project. The company plans further drilling programs and studies with the objective of confirmation of any deposits and ultimately completing a feasibility study to demonstrate the economics of the resources.

7 Project Overview Mount Bundy Gold Project Current resource base 26.9Mt at 1.5g/t (1.24Moz gold) Current resources all within 10km (centralised treatment opportunity) 100km from Darwin, with highways, power, water intersecting tenements 1,500km 2 tenement package in prolific gold producing region >10 holes drilled over the tenements outside of Toms Gully in last 20 years ~50km of structure controlling gold distribution remains under explored

OLD STRATEGY Small Underground Ops NEW STRATEGY Large Bulk Tonnage Ops Toms Gully Underground Main Feed 8.9g/t Au Rustlers Roost Open Pit Main Feed 1.1g/t Au Processing Plant Bulk Tonnage Toms Gully Underground High Grade Feed 8.9g/t Au Initial Focus Exploration, Drilling & Resource Growth Processing Plant 0.25 Mtpa Quest 29 Open Pit Mine Life Extension 1.4g/t Au Greenfield & Brownfield Exploration Exploration Upside??? 8

9 Rustlers Roost Deposit Rustlers Roost: >750,000oz resource with upside Large open pit gold system along 1000m strike Low strip ratio ore body (historical estimates of 2:1) Existing resource open both along strike and down dip Look-a-like deposit mineralisation identified to the east & west Significant brownfield resource expansion potential 9

10 Rustlers Roost Deposit For personal use only

11 Toms Gully Deposit Toms Gully: 315,000oz with upside 300m wide, shallow dipping quartz-gold reef Remnant high grade resource untouched by historical production Recent drilling success outside of interpreted mineralisation zone (between faults) Resource limited by drilling only, targeting reef extensions along strike and outside faults 11

12 Toms Gully Deposit For personal use only

13 Quest 29 & Quest 30 Deposits Quest 29: Resource of 148,000oz over 3.5km Current resource 1.4g/t gold (oxide & transitional ore only) Average drilling depth 40m (primary sulphide remains untested) Only 2% of drill holes >100m Deposit open in all directions Quest 30: Mineralised strike over 8.0km Identical geological setting to Quest 29 (anticline adjacent to granite intrusion) Rock chips up to 19.3g/t Poorly drill tested (historical MLs focus) 13

14 Exploration for New Discoveries ~50km of structure controlling gold distribution remains under explored Rock-chips(Greenfield) 2,691 samples; 69 samples >5g/t max 88.2g/t Au Rock-chips(Brownfield) Rustlers Roost 26.1g/t& 16.4g/t Quest g/t& 4.0g/t Soils samples 42,696 samples; 2,200 >1.0g/t; max 159g/t Au ~60 targets identified for follow up exploration with modern techniques

15 Exploration for New Discoveries Rustlers North High grade Toms Gully style targets Stream sediments up to 48ppb Toms Gully only 13ppb at discovery Target never drill tested Rustlers East Large tonnage, Rustlers Roost style targets Significant soil anomaly up to 170bbp Similar stratigraphy & structural setting to Rustlers Roost Threedrillholesto15mdepthonly 15

16 Development Around Rustlers Roost Historical Operations (mid 1990s) Heap leaching of oxide ore & carbon loading circuit Rustlers Roost Historical Open Pit 4.7Mt 1.05g/t 65-70% recovery Preg-robbing identified as reason for poor recoveries Current Mineral Resources Suitable for conventional cyanide leaching (no POX/roast) Potential to gravity upgrade (>3g/t con. in ~25% mass) Resin-in-Leach processing eliminates preg-robbing issue Valencia Ventures 2006 Feasibility Study Improved recoveries utilising resins instead of carbon (91-93% recovery through RIL circuit SGS Lakefield Labs) Positive US$650/oz gold (AUD/USD $0.75) Project not implemented due to gold price (~US$600/oz) 16
