Canada Gold February 2013 Shareholder PresentationCandaGoldDotCom
Canada Gold is a Canadian gold exploration and development company focused on the newly optioned Northern Arm Gold project located within the Hemlo Greenstone Belt in north central Ontario, approximately 10 kilometers north of Barrick Gold Corporation’s Hemlo deposit. The original Hemlo deposit was discovered in 1981 and the Hemlo Mines have since produced more than 20 million ounces of gold while 250,000 ounces of gold are currently being produced per annum. Strong potential exists for additional discoveries in the Hemlo region, though limited exploration has occurred in the area despite having very similar geology to the Hemlo Mines deposits. The Northern Arm Property straddles approximately 90% of a 40 kilometer long, gold prospective geological trend that has yet to be systematically explored. The Company is currently planning an aggressive 2013 exploration program for the property.

A lecture in Quantitative Sustainability
It is often claimed that agricultural productivity needs to be increased in order to feed a growing world population. Food security depends on several factors besides the productivity, including waste/efficiency, energy crops, meat consumption, and global justice and equity. This lecture explores the issue of food security in its many dimensions and teaches how to use a high-level systems approach in sustainability science.

Why invest in agriculture aqua terra
1. AGRICULTURE
AGRI
The Challenge -‐ How can we feed 9 billion people by 2050?
Limited resources, increasing demand and rising food prices provide compelling reasons to
invest in global agriculture. SIGIFICANT opportuni9es in commodi9es, farming & seed
technology and agribusiness.
Changing dietary paWerns
• Global popula9on > 9 billion by 2050. Agri output must grow 70% to meet increased
demand.
• Nearly all new demand from developing world, Agri output is predicted to double.
• Stock market capitaliza9on in developing na9ons predicted to grow fivefold over next
20 years, reaching over $80 trillion.
• Historic shiS in global dietary paherns as growing middle class shiSs to a more meat-‐
centric / energy-‐intensive diet
• Significant effect in developing countries, where meat consump9on is growing 3X faster
than developed world.
Commodity vola[lity
• High food prices nearing 2008 records, promp9ng U.N. warnings of pending food crisis
• Weather anomalies have devastated crops, leading to unprecedented jumps in wheat,
soybeans, corn, coffee, sugar and other basic commodi9es.
• Over the next decade, the FAO predicts grain prices will remain 15-‐40% higher than
1997-‐2006 levels.
Looming food supply/demand gap
• To meet projected food demand in 2030, the USDA warns we will need to add
addi9onal acreage equivalent to the total planted cropland in the United States, Brazil
and Argen9na in use today.
THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY OF OUR LIFE TIME – WATER & NATURAL RESOURCES
• Despite years of advances, gains in agriculture yield per acre have slowed down to less
than 1% a year. New technologic and/or gene9c advancements are needed to
con9nue improving crop yields.
• Annual investment in agriculture must rise by 47% to $279 billion at a minimum, says
the FAO.
• Changing weather paherns due to climate change have impacted global harvests in
unpredictable ways. The Argen9ne droughts, Russian forest fires and Australian
flooding are just a few of many examples.
Compe[[on from biofuels
• New mandates for biofuels has scaled up compe99on for farmland and water. 240
million more acres will be needed for biofuel crops, represen9ng 50% of arable land in
N. America, and 6% of the global total.
• As a result of generous federal subsidies, 1 out of every 4 ears of harvested corn in the
U.S. -‐ the world’s largest producer -‐ winds up in an ethanol plant. U.S. farmland has
doubled in value over past decade.
• Fears of “agfla9on” as consumers face higher costs across all parts of the food
produc9on chain.
Land grab phenomenon
• In 2009, foreign investors purchased 111 million acres of farmland in the developing
world – a tenfold increase over ten years.
• Two-‐thirds of land deals have been made in Africa. The biggest buyers? Sovereign
wealth funds from China, India & Middle Eastern countries looking for secure supplies.
THE BEST INVESTMENTS ARE WHEN NEEDS = OPPORTUNITIES
