This document provides an overview of Magellan Minerals and its gold exploration projects in Brazil. Magellan is exploring two projects in the Tapajos region of Brazil, which is the third largest placer gold province in the world. At its Cuiu Cuiu project, Magellan has identified indicated and inferred resources totaling 1.3 million ounces of gold across two deposits. At its Coringa project, Magellan has identified indicated and inferred resources totaling 370,000 ounces of gold across three deposits. Magellan plans additional drilling at both projects to expand resources and test new targets in 2011. The company believes there is significant potential to grow resources at both projects.

5. The Tapajos : World’s third largest placer gold belt
• Site of the world’s largest ever gold rush from 1970’s to
1990’s
• Largest alluvial gold province in Brazil, third largest alluvial
gold province in world – previous production from streams
estimated at 20-30 Moz of gold
• Geology is similar to other prolific gold belts (e.g. Eastern
Canada, Western Australia). World-class potential
• Under-explored province. One mid-size deposit discovered
so far: Tocantinzinho (2.5 Moz)
• Kinross, Eldorado and Newmont are active. Eldorado
acquired Tocantinzinho for $122M during mid 2010.
Eldorado also spent $5M on a 27% stake in Serabi Mining in
2010

Resources
* Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Please note that all figures have been rounded to reflect their
appropriate level of accuracy.
* These resources are constrained by mineable shapes and cut-off grades to meet the requirement that resources must have reasonable prospects for economic
extraction. The mineable shapes are either Lerch-Grossman pits or conceptual underground stopes. Resources falling within the pits are reported at cut-off grades
12 of 0.3 gpt Au for fresh rock or 0.4 gpt Au for saprolite. Stope shapes only include blocks above a cut-off grade of 1.3 gpt Au. The cut-off grades consider a gold
price of $1,250 per ounce and metallurgical recoveries of 91% for fresh rock and 66% for saprolite.

21. Coringa – Resource Estimate
Assumes 2g/t Au cut-off, SG of 2.7t/m3 and minimum mining width of 1.5m
Resource represents
less than 20% of vein
system discovered to
date.
Raising the cut-off grade
to 5 g/t gold results in a
M&I resource of 0.563
Mt @ 12.37 g/t gold
(223,914oz) and an
inferred resource of
0.178 Mt @ 14.65 g/t
gold (83,873oz) on a
diluted basis

22. Coringa – Scoping Study
• Scoping study indicates a project
IRR of 34% and an NPV @ 5% of
$41.3M assuming $950 per oz
• Based on 400t/d cut and fill
underground mine producing
36,000oz / yr. Processing via
crushing and CIL circuit
• Initial Capex of US$26.4M.
Operating cash cost of US$418/oz
and payback period of 3.7 years
Coringa Camp
• Process recovery = 93.8%. Actual
recoveries at Serra and Meio are
99.0% and 97.7% respectively
• NPV @ $1200 per oz is US$82.5M
and IRR is 59%
