This presentation of Guyana Goldfields Inc. (the "Company") contains
statements that constitute "forward-looking statements." Such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or
developments in our industry, to differ materially from the anticipated results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Forward looking statements are statements that are not historical
facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects,"
"aims," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "intends," "estimates," "projects,"
"potential" and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will," "would,"
"may," "could" or "should" occur. Information inferred from the interpretation of
drilling results and information concerning mineral resource and mineral reserve
estimates may also be deemed to be forward looking statements, as such
information constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when
and if a project is actually developed. Forward-looking statements this document
includes are statements regarding: the Company's expectations regarding
drilling and exploration activities on properties in which the Company has an
interest; and the Company's statements regarding estimates of reserves and
resources on properties in which the Company has an interest.
There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate.
Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in
such statements, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements that speak only as of their respective dates.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
Company's expectations include among others, risks related to fluctuations in
mineral prices; uncertainties related to raising sufficient financing to fund
planned work in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; changes in planned
work resulting from weather, logistical, technical or other factors; the possibility
that results of work will not fulfill expectations and realize the perceived potential
of the Company's properties; uncertainties involved in the estimation of
resources and reserves; the possibility that required permits may not be
obtained on a timely manner or at all; the possibility that capital and operating
costs may be higher than currently estimated and may preclude commercial
development or render operations uneconomic; the possibility that the estimated
recovery rates may not be achieved; risk of accidents, equipment breakdowns
and labour disputes or
other unanticipated difficulties or interruptions; the possibility of cost overrun or
unanticipated expenses in the work program; the risk of environmental
contamination or damage resulting from the Company's operations; risks
associated with title to mineral properties; and other risks and uncertainties
discussed appear elsewhere in the Company's documents filed from time to
time with the Toronto Stock Exchange and Canadian securities regulators.
These statements are based on a number of assumptions, including
assumptions regarding general market conditions, the availability of financing for
proposed transactions and programs on reasonable terms, and the ability of
outside service providers to deliver services in a satisfactory and timely manner.
Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of
the Company's management on the date the statements are made. Except as
expressly required by applicable securities laws, the Corporation undertakes no
obligation to update these forward-looking statements in the event that
management's beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change.
This presentation uses the terms "Inferred Resource", "Indicated Resource",
âMeasured Resourceâ and "Mineral Resource". The Company advises readers
that although these terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities
regulations (under National Instrument 43-101 "Standards of Disclosure for
Mineral Projects"), the US Securities and Exchange Commission does not
recognize these terms. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all
of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.
In addition, "Inferred Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their
existence, and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any
part of an Indicated or Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a
higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources
may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, or economic
studies except for a Preliminary Assessment as defined and permitted under
National Instrument 43-101. Readers are cautioned not to assume that part or
all of an Inferred Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. The
Mineral Resources stated in this presentation are not Mineral Reserves and, in
the absence of a current feasibility study, do not demonstrate economic viability.
The determination of Mineral Reserves can be affected by various factors
including environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, and
marketing issues.

STRONG ORGANIC GROWTH
POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER GROWTH BEYOND THIS:
1. Mill Expansion:
⢠Study underway on 2017 mill expansion from 5,000 tpd to 8,000 tpd â results expected Q4 2016
⢠Major plant components built for 10,000 tpd throughput rate resulting in lower expansion capital
2. Sulphur Rose â âA Second Mine In the Makingâ:
⢠23 km from Aurora Mine
⢠Resources: M&I â 277,580oz @ 1.04 g/t Au, Inf â 289,250oz @ 1.42g/t Au
⢠Infill drilling planned 2H16

RESERVE / RESOURCE GROWTH:
1. Further Infill Drilling:
⢠Upgrading of near-surface inferred resources
⢠Between Aleck Hill and Mad Kiss to test continuity of mineralized zones
2. Saprolite targets near the Aurora Mill within trucking distance
3. Revised Ore Reserve Metal Price:
⢠Current reserves run at US$1,000 gold price (Jan 2016)
⢠With Auroraâs high grade nature, a higher gold price materially increases open pit ounces & defers
the underground mine plan
⢠Updated ore reserve at a higher gold price expected Q4 2016
RESERVE/RESOURCE GROWTH POTENTIAL:
Within the âGolden Square Mileâ of the Aurora Mine

Mineral resources that are not
mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic
viability. The cut-off grades for
open pit are 0.5 g/t Au and 1.2
g/t Au for underground. Mineral
resources were calculated
using a gold price of
US$1,300/oz.
(1) CIM definitions were followed for
Mineral Reserves.
(2) Mineral Reserves are estimated
using a gold price of US$1,000/oz,
5% royalty and an average
metallurgical recovery of 97.0% for
saprolite and 94.4% for fresh rock
material.
(3) Mineral Reserves are based on a
cut-off grade of:
Open Pit Vein saprolite cut-off grade
of 0.43 g/t Au - Upper saprolite cut-off
grade of 0.41 g/t Au
Open Pit Fresh rock cut-off grade of
0.75 g/t Au - Fresh rock Roryâs Knoll
cut-off grade of 0.64 g/t Au
Underground 1.62 g/t Au.
(4) Mineral Reserves include:
Open pit: ore loss of 5% and dilution
of 4% to 23% at 0.1 g/t Au.
Underground: ore loss of 12% and
dilution of 21% at 1.43 g/t Au.

Geological Description
ď§ Rory's Knoll mineralization: disseminated pyrite and gold mineralization associated with intense silica-fuchsite-
sericite-carbonate alteration in tonalite intrusive probably emplaced at the hinge of the folded volcanic rock and
metasediments.
ď§ Mad Kiss mineralization: disseminated pyrite and gold mineralization associated with intense silica-fuchsite-
sericite-carbonate alteration in a quartz feldspar porphyry dyke.
ď§ Aleck Hill mineralization: mesothermal gold veins hosted in the shear zones of metavolcanic and
metasedimentary rocks; occurs in a zone of pyrite-rich quartz-carbonate veins in volcanic rocks that are enclosed
in an alteration envelope which reportedly includes silica-sericite and calcite cement filling fractures.
