Forward Looking Statements Certain statements contained in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always identified by words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “estimates”, “potential” , “possible” and similar expressions, or statements that events, conditions or results “will”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur or be achieved. The forward-looking statements may include statements regarding exploration results and budgets, mineral resource estimates, work programs, capital expenditures, timelines, strategic plans, market price of commodities or other statements that are not statement of fact. Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Company may differ materially from those reflected in forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. The Company’s forward -looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, and the Company does not assume any obligation to update forward- looking statements if circumstances or management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions should change except as required by law. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward- looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include uncertainties involved in disputes and litigation, fluctuations in commodity prices and currency exchange rates; uncertainties relating to interpretation of drill results and the geology, continuity and grade of deposits; uncertainty of estimates of capital and operating costs, recovery rates, production estimates and economic return; the need for cooperation of government agencies and native groups in the exploration and development of properties and the issuance of required permits; the need to obtain additional financing to develop properties and uncertainty as to the availability and terms of future financing; the possibility of delay in exploration or development programs or in construction projects and uncertainty in meeting anticipated program milestones; uncertainty as to timely availability of permits and other government approvals and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in other information released by the Company from time to time and filed with the appropriate regulatory agencies.

The Company Vancouver-based junior gold explorer Symbol WKG , Toronto Venture Exchange Focused on exploring and developing the Bonaparte Gold Project, southern British Columbia 2013: Geophysics Indicates Extension of Discovery Zone, Enhances Bulk-Tonnage Porphyry Potential
Bonaparte Gold Project - Overview Largely unexplored ground covers 2,216 hectares near Kamloops, BC Owned 92% by WestKam Gold High-grade drill intersections for gold High-grade results in historic bulk sampling Potential for copper-gold porphyry recognized by British Columbia Geological Survey in a January 2013 report
Nearby Infrastructure and Easy Access
Bonaparte Property – The History 1980s – Initial exploration included over 20,000 feet of diamond drilling 1990s – 3,425-ton bulk sample from one of over 13 identified vein systems averaged 26g Au/ton (0.75 oz/ton) 2009 – WestKam Gold Corp. acquires option to earn 60% interest 2010 – Portal collared and decline driven, small bulk sample collected from underground workings on Crow vein. Ore shipped to Kinross Mill in Republic, Washington. Recovered gold sold for $145,783 (364.61 tons assayed 0.475 oz/ton, 93% recovery). 2010 – “#20” Vein plus three new veins encountered in decline 2010 – WestKam exercises option to earn 75% 2011 – New management takes reins 2013 – BCGS report on porphyry potential, successful IP geophysics 2013 – WestKam acquires additional 17% to bring its Bonaparte ownership to 92%

Key Veins Discovered to Date
BCGS Recognizes Porphyry Potential as Suggested by Previous Research Bonaparte investigated by BC government geologists Jim Logan and Mitch Mihalynuk in 2012. They published Bonaparte Gold: another 195 Ma porphyry Au-Cu deposit in southern British Columbia? “It is likely that the portion (of the Bonaparte Gold Project) explored to date is only a small part of a much larger, more extensive mineralizing system that requires detailed exploration to define. In addition to the shear/fracture hosted mineralization, potential exists for large bulk tonnage, porphyry copper-gold mineralization .” Shaun M. Dykes M.Sc (Eng), P. Geo (Previous researcher on Bonaparte Property) Technical Report on the Bonaparte Gold Property April 30, 2009
Bonaparte Exploration in 2013 Coast Mountain Geological completed aggregation and assessment of information accumulated to date Based on their work, revised development strategy examined: High-grade gold in quartz vein networks Porphyry copper-gold potential
Bonaparte Exploration in 2013 3D IP survey identified a possible extension of the Discovery Gold Zone Located a large intrusive structure and related anomalies Reinforced Bonaparte's bulk-tonnage, porphyry copper-gold potential (as inferred by recent study from the British Columbia Geological Survey)
IP Survey Results Summary Diagram
What’s Next: 2014 Coast Mountain Geological evaluating results of work completed in 2012-2013 Will recommend the next phase of exploration at Bonaparte Likely to include drilling on the more prospective targets identified in the latest IP survey
