Forward-Looking StatementsThis presentation document contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. When used in this document, the words "may", "would", "could", "will", "intend", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to such risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the statements made, including those factors discussed in filings made by us with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties, such as actual results of current exploration programs, the general risks associated with the mining industry, the price of gold and other metals, currency and interest rate fluctuations, increased competition and general economic and market factors, occur or should assumptions underlying the forward looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, or expected. We do not intend and do not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements except as required by law. Shareholders are cautioned not to put undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Strategy Early stage exploration

Highest potential reward

Focus on Peru Favourable geology, economy, mining culture

Develop pipeline of projects, adding value through exploration

Alicia Project top priority in 2011

Alicia Project

Community agreement in place Environmental, sociological, archaeological

baseline studies completed Category 2 drill permit pending Geophysical surveys completed – ground IP;

airborne mag, radiometric and ZTEM Detailed mapping and sampling ongoing Drilling – 15-hole, 2,000-metre reconnaissance

campaign completed; 5,000-metres planned

Two key thresholds

12

Is the system mineralized? Drilling confirms robust values

Is there potential for size? Mapping and rock sampling identified an

800m long north-west south-east trending mineralized zone in porphyry

Soil sampling to the west and northwest of this zone identified a copper anomaly defined by >500ppm Cu over 1,400 x 640 metres

Hole ALC11-17 - 198m @ 0.16% Cu,

0.02 g/t Au- includes 18m @ 1.20% Cu, 0.15 g/t Au

First hole drilled by Strait into the intrusive, indicates potential of the porphyry.

Plans for Alicia 5,000-metre drill program

– Test geophysical anomaly on northern contact at depth

– Test porphyry potential based on results of airborne geophysics

Mapping, sampling on balance of property

Other projects:Letra Rumi South and Culebrilla

Both projects ~250 km north of Lima: Letra Rumi South (copper-silver) Culebrilla (gold)

100%-owned by Strait Gold Nominal holding costs Letra Rumi South – ready to drill Culebrilla – good surface showings,

largely unexplored, followup required19
