Important Information

This presentation contains certain “forward‐looking statements”. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that Cleveland Mining Company Limited (“Cleveland” or the “Company”) believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward‐looking statements. Forward‐looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, “target”, “expect”, and “intend” and statements that an event or result “may”, “will”, “can”, “should”, “could”, or “might” occur or be achieved and other similar expressions. These forward‐looking statements reflect the current internal projections, expectations or beliefs of Cleveland based on information currently available to Cleveland.

Forward‐looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those detailed from time to time in filings made by Cleveland with securities regulatory authorities, that may cause the actual results of Cleveland to differ materially from those discussed in the forward‐looking statements, and even if such actual results are realised or substantially realised, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on Cleveland. Cleveland expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements.

Investment Highlights

Experienced team with clear strategy & significant ‘skin in

the game’

Located in a region with a strong mining culture, large

skilled labour pool and extensive mine service providers

Development risk now largely removed with mine ramp up

progressing well as the Premier mine transitions into

production

Now positioned for game-changing growth through

exploration upside and/ or acquisition

Strategy designed to mitigate variable market conditions

Track record of “fast track” success

Premier Gold Mine

Stage 1 (ongoing) 50:50 Joint Venture with Edifica Participações Mining and production commenced 40tph processing capacity Installed plant capability to deliver 10,000oz – 20,000oz

with current ore (1.0 – 3.0 gt) and 60% recovery. 34,000t @ 1.79gt of crushed or containing approx. 60kg

of gold on ROM currently being processed. Achieving >60% recovery

Stage 2 (Q4 2013 – Q1 2014) Introduction of higher-grade material from Premier and O

Capitão (3.0 – 10.0 gt) Addition of cyanide and floatation circuit to increase

recovery from 60% to 90%+

Stage 3 Expansion of resources through further drilling and

possible acquisition of other gold projects held in immediate region

Easy Mining with Exploration Upside

Initial ‘Foundation” Inferred Resource of

1.96mt @ 1.41 g/t for 89,000 ounces defined

to underpin production start and payback of

investment

Early access to high grade mineralisation

Ore-body is outcropping and shallow dipping

Open along strike and down dip

Unit repeats below and an order of

magnitude thicker

Multi million ounce prospectivity

demonstrated through drilling, geophysics,

soil sampling and mapping

O Capitão Gold Project

Resource expansion potential

Less than 10km from Premier Mine Site of large artisanal mine

(5-10t Au extracted by hand) Two mineralised areas identified:

1. Lavra

2. Dona Maria Multiple stacked lodes identified with significant high-

grade intercepts, Including:Lavra• 1.30m @ 14.29 g/t Au from 44.7m

• 2.00m @ 17.21 g/t Au from 39.0m

Dona Maria • 11.00m @ 1.01 g/t Au from 51.00m to 62.00m

• 4.40m @ 3.55 g/t Au from 91.00m to 95.40m
