South American Mine Development

• Colombia is a vastly underexplored region with

limited modern mine development

Most recent large-scale mine development

was the Cerro Matoso nickel mine in 1978

Political stabilization and implementation of

pro-business policy regime

Improved security climate resulting in

increased investment and exploration

• New mines and/or development projects along

Andean belt since 1978:

Chile: 106

Peru: 47

Bolivia: 14

Argentina: 12

Ecuador: 7

Page 3: Colombia: An Emerging Gold Mining  · PDF fileAruntani San Antonio de Poto Choquelimpie Amayapampa Achachucani Victoria Orcopampa Winicocha Chanape Invicta Lagunas

• Proven gold producer – one of the world’s largest

gold producers until 1937

• Mature Democratic Government – pro-

investment and development

• Strong health and educational systems

• Modern, established Mining Law

• Security of property title

• Clear environmental approval system

• Established independent legal system

• Stable fiscal regime

• History and understanding of mining

• Good infrastructure – roads, water, power and

labour

• Significantly improved security environment

MEDORO SNAPSHOT: A MINE PLAN FOR MARMATO

Serafino Iacono now interim President & CEO to focus the Company on developing a mine at Marmato

Retained SRK Consulting to look at mining options and related mineable resource estimate

Objective is to ensure mineable ounces for a defined and specific mine plan for the mountain

Targeting a bulk tonnage open pit mine

Drilling focus shifting from discovery to reserve definition at Marmato

THE MARMATO PROJECT TODAY:

• Marmato is the primary focus. Intend to develop large scale open pit gold mine.

• Access to infrastructure & experienced mining culture

• NI 43-101 report from SRK for the purpose of reviewing resource estimate in the context of potential mining scenarios; will carry out a Preliminary Economic Assessment immediately following 43-101

• Exploration and in-fill drilling now in process to expand and upgrade already significant gold resources into a defined mineable project.

• Over 40,000 metres drilled to date. Targeted completion date: Mid-2011.

• Mineros Nacionales, currently producing, provides standing in the community, underground drill access and cash flow.

MARMATO GEOLOGY – CROSS SECTION 3600

• Porphyry-related mineralization. Epithermal intermediate sulfidation

• Mineralization in parallel, sheeted, and anastamozing veinlets with regional structural control. Sheeted sulphide veinlets associated with alterated porphyriticdacites in Zona Alta & porphyriticdacites and andesites at Echandia

• 80 separate veins identified with low-grade gold between veins not currently being mined

• Gold is associated with sulfides & is mostly free gold

• Deposit dimensions: 1,600 metres long NS X 1,000 metres wide X 800 metres vertical & open to the SE & NW & to depth

• Turning a patchwork of small mining claims into a singular world-class deposit

SOCIAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY AT MARMATO

OLD TOWN – MARMATO

14

• Following a landslide in 2006, regional & local government commenced the relocation of approximately 1,300 residents of Marmato town to the nearby El Llano Town, approximately 1.5 kilometres away, for health and safety reasons.

• Relocation in process - 179 homes occupied, primary school & bank already constructed

• Estimated investment by Medoro to relocate balance of town: Approximately US$20 million

• New town offers better quality of living from old town – residents supportive of the concept

• Relocation in progress with full support of regional & local government

NEW TOWN – EL LLANO

FRONTINO OPTION

Frontino Facts:

• Produced 55,000 oz Au in 2009 with average grade of 10.2 g/t, processing ~450 tpd

• Three operating high-grade underground gold mines: El Silencio – average grade 8.0 g/t Au Providencia – average grade 12.0 g/t Au Sandra K – average grade 6.0 g/t Au

• Produced over 4.5 million oz Au over past 155 years using relatively unsophisticated technology

• No exploration since 1989

• Significant potential to expand resources & increase production

• In joint venture with Gran Colombia Gold: 95% owned by Gran Colombia Gold and 5% owned by Medoro through a carried interest To exercise its back in right to achieve 45% ownership in Zandor (the joint venture), Medoro

needs to fund 50% of acquisition costs and 50% of exploration capital committed in 12 months plus a 25% premium of that combined amount

FRONTINORE-DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Modernization and optimization of existing plant and mining operation offers significant production expansion opportunities

Immediate action plan:

Assessing potential to increase production to 80,000 – 100,000 oz annual gold production (from mine and mill refurbishment) with increase in throughput to 1,000 – 1,200 tpd

Medium-term goals:

To increase production to 150,000 – 200,000 oz annual gold production subsequent to exploration and resource definition drilling (2 – 3 years)

Planned upgrades to mine infrastructure of US$23 million, including:

Water

Tailings

Hydropower

Mill rehabilitation

EL ZANCUDOGOLD MINERALIZATION

Located in the Middle Cauca gold belt hosting the Marmato and La Colosa gold deposits

Gold / silver mineralization consists of systems of multiple epithermal and mesothermal veins

High-grade gold is hosted in steep quartz veins at depth and low angle veins near surface

Exploited over 3.5 km with known depths of over 900 m

Potential for large disseminated gold targets inter veins

US$2.6 million exploration budget including 7000m of drilling and PEA

Mineralization at El Zancudo mining district

CONCEPCIÓN PROJECTPROJECT OVERVIEW

Concepción has 4 mining concessions covering 3,384 hectares in central Antioquia

Located in the central Cordillera – offers outstanding geology and infrastructure, enabling short timeline to gold production and exploration

Initial target for exploration and gold production is a large tunnel (in progress) and several old mine workings

Objective: produce gold from 100 tpd plant while conducting exploration

The San Pedro underground mine closed in 1997 – historically produced gold at head grades of 16 g/t over 20 years

Exploration budget: US$2 million

Comprehensive exploration plan: geophysics, mapping and at least 10,000 metres of diamond drilling
