The Hardrock PEA is preliminary in nature and it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applies to them that would enable them to be categories as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the Hardock PEA will be realized.

  3. THE PREMIER DIFFERENCE PG:TSX NORTH AMERICAN FOCUS – Pro-mining jurisdictions (Ontario/Nevada) offer reduced political and execution (permitting/development) risk. EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT TEAM – Strong history in exploration, mining & corporate development. THREE CORE PROJECTS – Trans-Canada (Hardrock), Cove-McCoy (Nevada) and Rahill-Bonanza (Red Lake) SIGNIFICANT GOLD RESOURCES – Growing mineral resource base with multiple projects advancing towards development INFRASTRUCTURE – All projects are located in the heart of some of North America ’ s “ premier ” gold mining camps. STRONG BALANCE SHEET – Approximately $55 M in cash and investments ($40 M post-acquisition). www.premiergoldmines.com 3

  5. COVE-McCOY GOLD PROJECT PG:TSX Consolidated Cove-McCoy Land Package • Located immediately south of the multi- million ounce (+ copper) Phoenix Mine operated by Newmont • Large underexplored land package of approx. 31,000 acres (~48 sq miles) • Past-production at Cove-McCoy: ~3.3 M ounces gold and ~110M ounces silver • Cove Mine is the fourth largest silver producer in the history of Nevada * • NEAR-TERM RESOURCE POTENTIAL: • 2201 discovery at Cove • Helen Zone and CND target at Cove • Open pit expansion at McCoy • Deep high-grade potential at McCoy * - Geology of the Cove Mine, Johnston et al, 2008 www.premiergoldmines.com 5

  6. COVE-McCOY GOLD PROJECT PG:TSX Deal Terms and Highlights • 100% interest in the consolidated Cove-McCoy property package (now totaling approx. 31,000 acres or 48 square miles) in the heart of one of the world ’ s most productive gold districts. • Purchase price: $21 Million to Newmont ($15 Million on signing, $6 Million in 18-months) plus assume project bonding. • Elimination of “ back-in ” rights previously held by Newmont as well as a revision of the royalty terms held by Newmont from a “ potential ” 5.0% royalty (NSR) to a 1.5% NSR. • McCoy project offers the potential to define near-surface heap leachable mineralization that could be prioritized towards development. • Existing infrastructure, including lined heap leach pads, could potentially be utilized under a renewed development scenario. • A “ good faith efforts ” processing arrangement with Newmont over a 10-year period within a 12- year window for ores mined at Cove-McCoy. • Premier will retain a 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty ( “ NSR ” ) in the South Carlin property interests www.premiergoldmines.com 6
