Growing the Hope Brook Gold Project
Corporate Presentation

 Canadian mineral exploration company whose focus is
growing the Hope Brook Gold project in Canada.
 Coastal Gold’s flagship property is
the Hope Brook Gold Project in
mining-friendly, southwestern Newfoundland.
 Currently completing a 4,250m resource
definition drill program to support a
Preliminary Economic Assessment
scheduled for completion early 2014.
 Completed a 6,000m Fall drilling program in 2012
which outlined a major new near surface target
zone that extends 1,200m along strike.
 Bulk of resource is within potentially open pittable
constraining shell defined at $1,400/oz gold and
cutoff grade of 0.5 g Au/t.
 Updated NI 43-101 Mineral Resource released
for Hope Brook in October 2012 only 8 months
after initial estimate.
 Strong Board, Management and Technical
Team committed to developing the project.
Resource Definition Drilling
 Resource Definition diamond drill program commenced August 2013
 4,250 metres of diamond drilling planned in 23 drillholes.
 Focus primarily on testing two main areas - The Footwall Target and Southwest
Pit extension to expand and upgrade potentially open pittable resources.
 70 Vibracore drill holes to test gold mineralization within the tailings ponds.
Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)
 Engineering and technical work for PEA commenced August 2013
 Allan Polk, P.Eng. an experienced mining engineer appointed project manager
 Updated resource estimate following drilling to form basis for PEA
 Study scheduled to be completed in early 2014

 100% ownership in 1,005 claims
covering approximately 25,000 ha*
 Historical production (1987 –
1997) of 752,163 ounces gold in
time of low gold prices
(<US$400/oz)
 Mine produced a copper
concentrate from 1993-1997
 No exploration drilling on property
since 1996 until Coastal Gold
started diamond drilling in 2010

 High sulphidation gold
deposit formed from a
long lived magmatic-
hydrothermal system
 Mineralized zone open
along strike and at
depth
 Alteration pattern
similar to large scale
epithermal systems
 Considerable upside
for outlining additional
higher grade
mineralization within
extensive lower grade
mineralization
 Drill program identified a major new
near surface target zone in the
“Connector Zone” that extends for
1,200m along strike
 Mineralized silicified zones were
intersected over a strike length of
3.4km demonstrating continuity of the
system
 Thickness and character of the
Connector Zone alteration is
interpreted to be similar to that of the
former mine and 240 Zone
 New Drill Results* include:
• Hole HB12-100: 1.51 Au g/t over 14m, 2.03
Au g/t over 8m, and 1.07 Au g/t over 18.1m
• Hole HB12-101: 1.04 g Au/t over 8.5m, 1.44 g
Au/t over 2.9m, and 1.35 g Au/t over 5.6m

New Structural Model with Major Folds
11
Drilling and geophysics have
identified a major fold structure that
closes below surface in the Connector
Zone. This explains why the silicified
horizon doesn’t come to surface
southwest of the existing mine where
historical drilling failed to intersect
the mineralized silicified zone.

 Constraining shell incorporates essentially all of the remaining historic resources in the
former Hope Brook mine in addition to new areas of resource as defined by Coastal
Gold, including the Pit Zone, Hanging Wall Zone and Mine Zone Extension.
 There is a possible copper credit that is not included in the mineral resource due to
missing copper assays in historical drill holes.
 Resource estimate includes a dyke dilution model hence reported grades are diluted
Growing the Resource
14
 Deposit is open along strike
and at depth
 Twinned holes typically
return much higher gold and
copper grades compared to
historical holes
 Historic drill holes too short
to test depth extension
 Widespread higher grade
mineralization
 Silicified zones can be traced
using geophysics with new
drilling confirming intercepts
