    Forward Looking Statements

    This presentation contains forward-looking statements and INTERPRETATIONS of information that are current as of the date the presentationwas originally delivered. Choice Gold Corp. disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whetheras a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respectto the timing and amount of estimated future exploration, success of exploration activities, expenditures, permitting, and requirements foradditional capital and access to data.

    Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results,performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed orimplied by the forward looking statements. Such factors include, among others, risks related to actual results of current exploration activities;changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; the ability to enter into joint ventures or to acquire or dispose of properties;

    future prices of mineral resources; accidents, labor disputes and other risks of the mining industry; ability to obtain financing; and delays inobtaining governmental approvals of financing.

    43-101 Historical Estimate Disclosure

    The quoted historical estimates of resources for Sugarloaf Peak were prepared prior to the implementation of NI 43-101 Standards ofDisclosure for Mineral Projects (43-101) and are not compliant with 43-101. These resource estimates were reported in N.R. Dausinger Jr,1983 and N.R. Dausinger Jr., 1987 using a polygonal estimate of all drill holes that had gold assays. Choice Gold Corp. is not aware of anysubsequent resource estimations and it has not yet completed sufficient work to calculate a 43-101 compliant resource. Choice Gold Corp. hashad prepared a 43-101 Technical Report on the Sugarloaf Peak Project (see the Goldsmith Report dated November 27, 2008 filed onwww.sedar.com), which describes the non 43-101 compliant historic resource estimates by Dausinger, including (a) 100 million tons at ~ 0.5 g/

    t gold average grade for a total of 1.5 million ounces gold from shallow drilling averaging less than 130m depth and (b) 60 million tons of ~ 0.6g/t average grade for a total of 1.2 million ounces gold with mineralization open to depth and along strike.

    The historic estimates use categories other than the CIM definitions prescribed by 43-101 but they are based on calculations of tons, cut-offgrade and average grade at various levels of confidence, which is consistent with the CIM definitions. Choice Gold Corp. considers the historicestimates to be roughly equivalent to the CIM defined inferred resource category level of certainty, reliable based on the data available at thetime, and relevant for the volume of mineralization drilled at that time. Choice Gold Corp. cautions the reader that (i) a 43-101 qualified personhas not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, (ii) it Is not treating thehistorical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves as defined in sections 1.2 and 1.3 of 43-101, and (iii) these historicalestimates should not be relied upon.

    started early April 2011 to identify targets

    10,000m drill program in 2 phases (5,000m & 5,000m) beginning in July Attempt to expand boundaries of known mineralization still open along strike

    and at depth

    Establish NI 43-101 compliant resource Hire a metallurgical consultant and perform detailed metallurgical studies Evaluate project economics before any significant dilution is to occur Organize all information gathered into data room maintained for future use

    Large bulk tonnage potential Historical non-NI 43-101 compliant resource discovery risk removed Limited drill testing so far mineralized zone open along strike and at

    depth

    Titan 24 IP results expected by end of May 10,000m of drilling in the near future to fully delineate resource and

    make NI 43-101 compliant
