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.

Company Issue Situation Solution
Carpentaria
Gold P/L (1991)Geotechnical
Following very successful open pit,
underground decline access commenced
but encountered difficult ground
associated with a known fault zone on
eastern side of orebody.
Decline has since been rehabilitated by
subsequent operators & is now useable.
Second decline access established within
areas of good ground conditions,
avoiding the fault zones.
Rension Cons.
Mines Ltd
(2007)
Flooding
Flood prevention strategy based on max.
monthly rainfall average, however, mine
received monthly quota in 24 hours.
Pumping capacity too small, mine floods
and is eventually sold.
Primary’s strategy based on max. 24
hour average, consequently pumping
capacity is 10 times that of Renison.
GBS &
Crocodile Gold,
(‘08-10)
Poor ore
grades
Decline was heading to higher grade ore,
but majority of mining situated in lower
grade zone. Mining method resulted in
excessive dilution (≈ 200%). Both
contribute to lower than planned grades.
Primary to specifically target higher grade
zones. Also use different mining method
to control dilution (split-face firing of ore &
waste separately).
All
Low
metallurgical
recovery
Historically recoveries as low as 75%.
Increases possible with fine grinding, but
not utilised by past operators. Similarly,
significant component of gravity gold, but
presently no gravity circuit.
Install fine grinding, gravity circuit,
intense leach reactor, additional floatation
and tankage, partial tails bypass.
Planned recoveries 89.6%, but test-work
shows potential for +92%.
Several episodes of underground mining, various technical challenges

Exploration Target – Cautionary
Statements
13
All references to Exploration Targets are made with the following clarifications & disclosures in
accordance with JORC 2012 clauses 17, 18, 19:
Potential quantities and grades are conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient
exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will
result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
Targets are based on proposed exploration drilling programmes.
The Company intends to commence these proposed drilling programmes within 2 years.
Exploration activity will aim to test the validity of geological models.
Exploration Targets based on a geological model which incorporates:
‒ Style of mineralisation similar to existing Resource, i.e. structurally controlled, quartz vein
hosted, gold deposit.
‒ Approximations of tonnes and grade assumes grades, dimensions and orientation similar
to those estimated for Toms Gully Resource.
‒ Existing exploration data which indicates the potential for repetitions and extensions to the
Resource.
Minimal Exploration drilling activities completed to date :
‒ Target 1 located down dip of current Resource – only 2 drill holes, one of which intersected
anomalous gold mineralisation, the other drilled outside the target zone (see slide 10 for
drill details),
‒ Target 2 located in footwall of current Resource – only 3 drill holes, one intersected
anomalous gold mineralisation, one not deep enough, one not sampled (see slide 10 for
drill details).
See slide 30 for Competent Persons Statement .

Note: Primary confirms that all the material
assumptions underpinning the production
target and/or forecast financial information
derived from a production target, in the
initial public report of 27 August 2013
continue to apply and have not materially
changed.
The potential quantity and grade of an
exploration target is conceptual in nature,
there has been insufficient exploration to
determine a mineral resource and there is
no certainty that further exploration work
will result in the determination of mineral
resources or that the production target itself
will be realised.

Company has mandated Commonwealth Bank (CBA) to provide Project finance (ASX announcement 31

A final CBA approval is likely to include a level of various general and mandated contingencies
Overall capital costs could potentially reduce by $5m as a result of the toll treatment MOU signed with
Crocodile Gold (ASX announcement 30 October 2013)
In context of corporate overheads, tenement management, extensional drilling the proposed rights issue
