OUR FOCUS IN 2013
Valentine Lake Project (100% Owned)
• 10,000 m Drilling Campaign announced in January 2013 completed at the end of
March 2013
• Steady news flow for the first half of 2013 from our winter drilling program
• Update open pit and under ground resource estimates for the Leprechaun Deposit in
2013
• Economic Study on the Valentine Lake Project
WHAT SETS US PART FROM OUR PEERS
• USA and Canada only projects in mining friendly jurisdictions
• Resource growth with good gold grades (M&I 803,300 ounces at 2.11 g/t and Inferred
236,800 ounces at 2.09 g/t) 77% of the ounces are Measured and Indicated
• Good Infrastructure – All of our properties are road accessible and in existing mining
districts
• Ability to finance in these difficult times – raised $5.5 Million at the end of 2012
• NO First Nations Issues on any of our projects

• From the early 1960’s to early 1980’s the
area was explored for base metal potential
via soil sampling mapping and
airborne/ground geophysics.
• In 1983 Abitibi Price Inc. first look at gold
potential by soil sampling finding local
anomalies
• From 1985 to 1989 BP conducting further
soil sampling, prospecting and trenching
discovered gold-bearing qtz-trml-py veins in
trondhjemite, delineated two main
mineralized areas: Leprechaun Gold
Deposit (LGD) and Valentine East Deposit.
Drilled 47 DDH totaling 5,974m at LGD.
• From 1998 to 2009 intermittent drilling of 89
DDH totaling 17,510m throughout the
property from LGD to Valentine East
• Between January, 2010 to March, 2013 -
Marathon Gold Corp. drilled 431 DDH
totaling 76,127m of which 316 DDH
totaling 61,253m has focused on the
Leprechaun Gold Deposit
VALENTINE LAKE PROPERTY HISTORY
TSX:MOZ
• The Valentine Lake Project is Marathon’s flagship gold project. It
is located in west central Newfoundland approximately 57 km
south of the mining town of Buchans. The project is accessible by
gravel and paved roads to the Trans Canada Highway.
• The property, which is now over 26,000 hectares, has undergone
periodic exploration by various groups. Several important gold
occurrences were located including the Leprechaun Gold
Deposit, J. Frank Zone, Sprite and Valentine East prospects
• It is on a major regional structure noted for gold occurrences
