Corex Gold Corp is a Canadian junior gold mining company focused on its flagship Santana Gold Project located in Sonora, Mexico. The company is currently engaged in pre-commercial mining operations at the Santana Project which involves bulk sampling and heap leach processing to generate revenue and optimize operations. Corex plans to make a production decision for the larger Nicho zone at the Santana Project in 2018. The project has potential for open pit mining and heap leach processing of near-surface gold mineralization. Corex also sees additional exploration potential across its 8,500 hectare land package at Santana.

Forward Looking Statements
• This presentation contains forward looking statements that are subject to a number of
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to
differ materially from those anticipated in our forward looking statements. Factors that
could cause such differences include: uncertainties inherent in geological interpretation,
changes in world gold markets, equity markets, cost and supply of materials relevant to
regulations affecting the mining industry.
• Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward looking statements are
reasonable, results may vary, and we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, or
performance of achievements.
• Additionally, the reader is cautioned the Company has neither completed economic nor
technical feasibility studies or metallurgical studies confirming the projected production
capacity at Santana and that there is no certainty the Company’s plans will be
economically viable. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic or
technical failure.

Mining for gold in the
best gold-mining
jurisdiction. Corex Gold Corp. (TSX Venture: CGE) is a Canadian
junior gold mining company. Its head office is located in
Vancouver, B.C., Canada. The Company’s base of
mining operations is Sonora State, Mexico.
Corex Gold was founded in 2005. CGE currently has
133.6 million shares outstanding (153 million fully
diluted) and has had no roll-backs or consolidations in
its 13 years in operation.
The Company’s flagship property is the Santana Gold

gold mineralization. The Project is amenable to open-
pit mining and low-cost, heap-leach gold processing.
Corex is presently engaging in pre-commercial mining
operations.

Mexico means “mining”
• When mining investors think of copper, they
think “Chile”, the world’s leading copper-
producing nation.
• When mining investors think of silver, they
think “Mexico”, the world’s leading silver-
producing nation.
• What many mining investors may not know is
that Mexico is also one of the world’s leading
gold-producing nations.

Mexico means “mining”
• Mexico is the world’s 8th largest gold-producer1. With the price of gold having declined in recent
years, gold production in many major gold-producing nations has leveled off, or even declined.
• Gold production in Mexico is on a strong, upward trajectory. Mexico became a Top-10 gold producer
for the first time in 2012. From 2012 through 2016; gold production in Mexico has risen by
approximately 36% (from 92 tonnes to 125 tonnes), more than any other nation1.

Mexico means “mining”
• Numerous commercially
minable mineral deposits
• Abundant mining infrastructure
• A large, experienced labour supply
• Mining-friendly government at the local,
regional, and national level
• A favorable exchange rate (U.S. dollar to peso)
• A stable political environment
• Favorable geography (most mining assets are
easily accessible)
• Mexico is the best jurisdiction in which to
mine gold today

Why gain exposure to gold as an asset class?
• A global financial system in crisis: earlier this year,
Reuters reported that total global debt has risen to
$217 trillion, representing 325% of global GDP2.
When any individual country exceeds a national debt-
to-GDP level of 100%, this is generally regarded in
economic terms as the point of no return.
• Many of the world’s leading economies (including the
United States, with its $20 trillion national debt) are
past this point of no return and are on course for debt
default.

Why gain exposure to gold as an asset class?
• A global monetary system in
crisis: to avoid national debt
default, many of the world’s debtor
nations (including the United
States) have engaged in a money-
printing binge of unprecedented
proportions.
• In 20023; this is what former
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke said:
“U.S. dollars have value
only to the extent that
they are strictly limited in
supply.”

In 2009; this is what Bernanke did to the supply of U.S. dollars
as Federal Reserve Chairman – virtually unlimited supply.

Why gain exposure to gold as
an asset class?
• Bond market debt has spiraled out of control. Bond
market interest rates have never been lower, meaning
bond prices have never been higher. This sets the
stage for a bond market crash of epic proportions.
• According to the (former) Chairman of the Federal
Reserve, the U.S. dollar no longer has value.
• Investors need to dramatically reduce their exposure to
bonds and paper currencies and increase their
exposure to safe-haven hard assets like gold.

Operational expertise in heap leach mining

A PIONEER IN HEAP LEACH GOLD MINING:
“In the early 1970’s, Millar turned his attention to the Western United States, where he
pioneered the use of heap leaching to process low-grade gold ores and demonstrated
the success of the method at several open-pit mines. He helped introduce heap leaching
to Latin America by writing a technical book on the subject in Spanish that was well
received by mining engineers and other interested parties …Chester Millar has
few equals as a builder of junior companies.”

“My way of doing things is generally speaking not acceptable
by the Toronto Stock Exchange. I have enough experience,
and I don’t want to pay somebody $500/day to tell me what I
already know.”
“My Feasibility Study is done by doing things. I will actually
mine and produce gold. That to me is better than any
Feasibility Study because it isn’t a study, it’s a proven fact.”
“Heap leaching is very cheap because you can use
contractor’s machinery. You don’t have to build mills or do
expensive capital investment. You just have to put a piece of
plastic on the ground, and start putting crushed rock on it… A
dollar goes a long way in this type of operation.”9

Mr. Babcock was the Manager of Mexico for
Alamos Gold during the early development of
the Mulatos gold project (now the Mulatos
Gold Mine). He was also involved in the
development of the La Colorada Mine, located
150 km from the Santana property. His
involvement in the early 1990’s for Eldorado
Gold included completing a bulk heap leach
test and the design, construction and initial
operations of the commercial heap leach
facility. Mr. Babcock’s experience in the
development and operation of gold mines will
greatly assist the Company in its efforts to
develop the Santana Project

Corex Gold is on track to successfully demonstrate the start up of a small scale heap-
leach gold operation at its Santana project in Sonora, Mexico. Few companies in the
mining industry demonstrate a consistent approach of driving profits for their shareholders.
In collaboration with mining legend Chester Millar, Corex is well positioned to replicate the
success of Mr Millar he has had throughout his career at starting small mining companies
and turning them in to large ones.
