GOLD: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Doom and gloom for gold? Not really… The gold price has risen dramatically over past 15 years Despite the recent bear market in gold, gold prices have increased fourfold from 2000/01 levels Gold price, in USD, weekly. Source: Kitco.com www.greatlandgold.com 6
OPPORTUNITY IN THE GOLD STOCKS? Gold price has soared over past 15 years, but recent bear market in gold stocks wiped out a decade worth of gains Surge in gold stocks over past six month creates short term risk for the sector. However, recent move only takes index back to 2004 levels! PHLX gold/silver index, weekly. Source: Marketwatch www.greatlandgold.com 7
GOLD STOCKS RELATIVE TO GOLD The chart opposite tracks the ratio of the PHLX gold/silver index TODAY to the gold price over the past 32 years (chart ends December 2015) Index has collapsed relative to underlying commodity price. In last six months, ratio has bounced to 0.07, still well below historical range (0.2 - 0.3) XAU to gold ratio, end Dec 2015, source: macrotrends.net www.greatlandgold.com 8
INDUSTRY SUPPLY RESPONSE Headline reductions in mining capex don’t tell the whole story While maintenance capex has remained stable, expansion capex has collapsed Exploration activity across the industry slowed dramatically as money dried up www.greatlandgold.com 9
NEW OPPORTUNITIES • Industry valuations are still relatively depressed and the natural supply response is occurring • Greatland Gold is seeking attractive entry points into early stage projects where Greatland can bring technical and management expertise • Primary focus will be on projects that are suitable for a company of this size and that represent an excellent return on invested capital if successful • Greatland Gold in a strong position to do transactions with GBP875,000 cash at hand (no debt) and supportive core shareholder base www.greatlandgold.com 10
