Low Discovery cost - Caspiche $2/oz.

Exeter’s Caspiche gold-copper discovery Cerro Casale (Barrick-Kinross) 25 million oz. gold resource Refugio Mine (Kinross) 6.2 million oz. gold resource Caspiche Porphyry Discovery 19.6 Million oz. gold resource The Caspiche, Chile discovery is very close to 2 world class gold deposits. Caspiche subject to a 3% NSR to Anglo American. The porphyry gold-copper target is extremely large and our successful program is transforming Exeter into a mid-tier gold company.
Caspiche ProjectNational Instrument 43-101 Compliant Inferred Resource Estimate by AMEC International Including Higher Grade Core: Note: This can be compared to the Cerro Casale mineral reserve (NI43-101 compliant) of21.2 million ounces gold and 5.31 billion pounds of copper based on 1.09 billion metric tons at a grade of 0.61 g/t gold and 0.22% copper *Gold equivalence for copper and silver was calculated by Exeter using assumed metal prices of $800/oz for gold, $12/oz for silver and $2/lb for copper and assumes 100% metal recovery.

Exeter in an Industry Context
The dynamic of the gold mining business continues to be driven by M&A activity as producers strive for increased production and gold inventories.
Cumulative industry expenditures of +$4 billion/year yield “mega” gold deposits (+5 million ounces) at a rate of only 1 per year.
The timeline from discovery to production is ever increasing, as is the cost per new ounce discovered. Today’s discovery cost exceeds $50 per ounce (industry average).
The major producers carry their gold inventories at an EV/share of $132/ounce (industry average).
Exeter’s EV/share is presently less than $20/ounce.
Exeter’s total gold inventory includes by-product credits. Data is from NI43-101 compliant resources .
