3. Russian Gold Mining Industry Today Key Highlights Russian Gold mining breakdown • The Industry has already seen its most significant developments: • The majors are known • Consolidation is mainly over • New capacities are already in place • Overall stability of the industry. Major Mining houses secured their long-term production plans. • TOP-5 produce about 55% of gold, the following next TOP 15 companies – another 25% (TOP-20 ~80%). Remaining 400 totally produce 20%. • Growth in gold production comes from hardrock assets. Alluvial mining will continue to decrease. • Visible step up in the past (Y2009). What trend is following, up or down? • Leading 5: • Polyus Gold • Kinross (Kupol) • Petropavlovsk • Polymetal • Severstal The next TOP 15 companies 25% 55% 20% Remaining ~ 400companies Sources: Russian Goldminers Union, Company sources Historical alluvial and hardrockproduction (t) Sources: Russian Goldminers Union, Company sources

4. Growth Opportunities Possibilities of organic growth are limited in Russia There are no deposits with reserves on state balance (except probably Sukhoi Log) Exploration in new areas has almost stopped Hard to name properties in “real” pre-production stage. Many of them are frozen with no intention to be developed Profits from M&A deals are in favor to capital investments in new projects: Opportunities to acquire mid-tier producers in Russia Going abroad is a new tendency. Joint ventures in CIS countries and/or far located parts of the World Efficiency of merging with new companies could be significantly higher than investing in developing mining projects • High gold prices secure financial stability for companies’ development programs. • Current environment creates opportunities for investments in new projects, targeting to increase overall gold production. • How long will it last? Surely not forever. • Companies try to follow two main approaches: organic growth or M&A strategies. Cash margins are rapidly increasing ($/oz) The average price in 2010 has risen by 25% to 1224 USD/oz Growth in cash margins Gold price Average Cash costs Source: Company sources Development and growth strategies Organic growth M&A approach 3

5. Rapid cash costs increase in Russia up to the same level as in the rest of the World. Quality of the deposits in production stage is constantly decreasing. High grade ores depletion. Capital expenditures overrun in the most of the new projects. Mining analysts predict gold price to step down and reach 1200 USD\ozin 2013and 1150 USD\ozin 2014. We believe the 900 USD\oz scenario in a short term could be realistic. Many projects will shut down, causing production to reduce. This will strongly reflect gold price. Challenges and Threats Gold price forecast World constraints Long-term range 850 - 1050 USD/oz Source: Apeco, Company Sources Cash margins sharp fall ($/oz) Timeframe for investments Investing current cash margins into new projects will allow to secure companies mid-term production plans and hardlyto raise it Source: Virtual Metals, Company sources 4

8. Golets VysochaishyGroup’s Development Loco Key Highlights • Located in Bodaibo area, Irkutsk region. • Significant growth potential with limited development risk. • Total Resources 2.8 Moz Au, inclusive P&P reserves of 2.3 Moz Au. • Two processing mills operating, launchof the third plant with annual capacity of 3.5 mptain August 2011. • Total processing capacity will reach 4.8 mpta in 2012. • All principal Capital Expenditures have already been acrued. • Production highlights: • 116 koz Au (2010) • 150 koz Au (2011E) • 260 koz Au (2012E) • Current resource base secures production till 2020. Production has a real chance to boost after 2020. The company is planning to take part in developing Sukhoi Log (located 30 km South of Golets Vysochaishy), using current facilities to process ores from the well-known giant deposit 7

9. Marakan project Efficient Capital Expenditures Ykanskoye is the next milestone in the Irkutsk project development. Located to the West of Golets Vysochaishy. Current Resource base – 250 Koz Au, average grade 3 g/t. In the end of 2010 a pilot processing plant was launched with capacity of 200 ktpa. Plans to double processing capacities up to 400 ktpa by 2015. Production plans: 15 koz Au (2012E) 30 koz Au (2015E) Ongoing intense exploration to increase current resource base. Ykanskoye deposit Ozherelie deposit • Currently in advanced exploration stage with aggressive exploration plans for 2010 – 2013. • Mineral Resource and Exploration potential 1.2 Moz Au. • Plans to convert not less than 1 Moz Au into Reserves by 2013. • By 2015, production capacity of 100 koz Au p.a. Plant at Ykanskoye 8

10. KuranakhUnlocking the Value Kuranakh is Russia’s largest placer gold deposit. Located in the Southern part of Yakutia with well developed infrastructure. GV gold acquired the 51% stake in Kuranakh in 2008 Option to acquire the remaining 49% Total Resources of 5.3 Moz Au, inclusive P&P reserves of 3.5 Moz Au. New deep digging dredge launch in August 2011. Expected to switch to open pit mining with a significant increase in production. Production plans: 20 koz Au (2011E) 30 koz Au (2012E) By 2015 production will reach 100 koz Au p.a. Key highlights Development program: New dredges installation in 2011 and 2013 Installation of the new hardrock processing plant, with a designed annual capacity of 2.0 mtpa,launch by 2015 9

11. Komi project – Chudnoye depositSource of Additional Future Growth Key highlights • Relatively new mining region, with high prospective opportunities for greenfield projects. • A convenient geographic location in the European part of Russia with a developed infrastructure. • Ore bodies are represented with a stockwork of gold-bearing fuchsite veinlets in the faulted zone • High grades (4-9 g/t) with non-uniform distribution • Available for open-pit development • Gold is recoverable via gravity • GV Gold plans to continue intense exploration to grow the current resource base.
