Cautionary Statement
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities regulations and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact herein including, without limitation,statements regarding potential resources and reserves, exploration results, production rates and future plans and objectives, are forward-looking statements that involve variousrisks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, (i) estimates and projections of future gold production and cash operating costs, (ii) estimates ofsavings or cost reductions, (iii) estimates related to financial performance, including cash flow and capital expenditures, (iv) estimates and projections of reserves and resources, (v)estimates and opinions regarding geologic and mineralization interpretation and (vi) estimates of exploration investment and scope of exploration programs. There can be noassurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements, in particular theestimates do not include input cost increases or gold price variations that could occur in future. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from theCompanys expectations are disclosed in documents filed from time to time with Canadian regulatory authorities on SEDAR and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC). Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management on the date the statements are made and, except as required by law, the Company doesnot undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements should conditions or managements estimates or opinions change. Forward-looking statements are subject torisks, uncertainties and other factors, including gold and other commodity price volatility, political and operational risks, which are described in the Companys Annual InformationForm dated March 29, 2012 filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) as well as the Companys other regulatory filings.
Cautionary Notes to U.S. Investors Concerning Reserve and Resource Estimates:
Proven and Probable Reserves. The estimates of proven and probable mineral reserves shown in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators (NI 43-101). The definitions of proven and probable mineral reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions in Industry Guide 7 ofthe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, theCompanys disclosure of mineral reserves in this Annual Report may not be comparable to information from U.S.companies subject to the SECs reporting and disclosure requirements.
Measured and Indicated, and Inferred Resources. This presentation uses the terms measured and indicated resources and inferred resources. The Company advises U.S. investorsthat while these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all ofmineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineralreserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Disclosureofcontainedounces is permitted under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits the reporting of non-reserve mineralization as in-place tonnage and grade.Inferredresources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility orprefeasibility studies, except in rare cases. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an inferred resource exists or is economically or legally mineable.
Todd Johnson (M.S.), VP Exploration with Veris Gold Corp. and a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed and verified the technical information contained in this articleas applicable. Much of the Technical information contained herein is taken from the two most recent NI 43-101 Technical Reports, Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp. for the Jerritt CanyonProperty (April 27, 2012) and the Ketza River Project (June 28, 2011) which may be uploaded from the Veris Gold Corp.

Investment Highlights
6,000 Tons/Day Roaster Mill at the Jerritt CanyonMine - Valuable Strategic Asset
Replacement cost of US$1 billion. No new
roasters have been permitted in the past 12
years and none are planned.
Toll milling opportunities - numerous
companies with refractory ore in Nevada and
surrounding region.
The only roaster in Nevada and surroundingregion with near-term excess capacity.
Growing Resource and Reserve Base
Current Reserves of 1.06M oz, Measured and
Indicated resources* of 1.26M oz, and Inferred
resources of 748K oz, plus significant potential
for resource expansion.
Historical track record of 105% conversion from
Measured and Indicated resources to Proven
and Probable Reserves.
Near term opportunity to upgrade
approximately 500K oz of Inferred resources to
reserves at the Mahala Basin in Q3/Q4 2013.
Production Growth Expected 2013 gold production depends on
stockpile vs toll milling, ramping up to 175,000
185,000 ozs (not including toll milling).
Cash costs declining from average of
approximately US$1,600/oz in H1 2012 to an
estimated US$1,015/oz Au in Q3 2012 and
forecast US$975-$1,000/oz in Q4 2012, driven
primarily by increased throughput. 2013 cash cost target of $825 / oz.
Experienced Management Team
Senior management team with combined 90+
years of experience in managing and operating
mining operations and companies.
Capital Policy and Use Free Cash Flows
The use of free cash flows from operations will
be reviewed by end of 2013 after reaching
targeted production and cash flows.

Mining
Access to the Smith and SSX-Steer undergroundmines is through portals, with internal ramps
maintained at grades of 12% to 15%. The mines
generally follow a drift-and-fill method, operated by
trackless equipment.
Typical mine openings measure 15 x 15 to 20 x 25
feet in cross section.
Each mine has its own operational batch plantlocated outside the mine portal. The backfill is a
mixture of screened mine waste rock and cement.
Smith underground mining restarted Q1/2010 1,200 tons/day targeted

Improving Production Costs
Started mining SSX/Steer underground mine in-
house Q4 2011. Lower cost than contract mining
@$80 - $90/ton.
Transitioning SSX mining from 100% Drift and Fill
to 50% Longhole Stoping, 50% Drift and Fill = cost
@ $70/ton.
Consider bringing underground mining
operations at Smith mine in-house - currently
$120/ton potentially declining to $85/ton.
Prospective toll milling agreement(s) to offset
cash costs.
Cost/oz comes down as production increases
from Starvation Canyon.

Toll Milling Opportunity
1010
Roaster permitted capacity of 6,000 tpd (5,400 tpd factoring in
availability).
Jerritt underground production of 3,000 tpd from current mines
leaving approximately 2,400 tpd for toll milling ore processing at full
permit capacity.
Current terms being considered for toll milling agreements include:
Start @ 1,500 tpd by Q2 2013 and up to 2,400 tpd of excess
processing capacity by end of 2014. Batch processing ores with metal delivered as recovered, or
VGC to retain a portion of 3rd party gold as upside.
Structured similar to smelter concentrate processing
agreements.
Potential to initially generate $50 - $75mm, cash cost target of
US$550/oz and ultimately as much as $125mm in annual
revenue credit, with possible cash cost reduction to ~US$400 -US$550/oz.

*Notes:
The December 31, 2011 reserve estimate was calculated using a gold price of $1,275US per
troy oz, reflecting a three year trailing average gold price.
The December 31, 2011 Jerritt Canyon mineral reserves and resources were estimated by
Mark Odell (P.E.) a consulting Mine Engineer. Mark Odell is considered qualified person as
defined by National Instrument (NI) 43-101.
This resource estimate has been reviewed and approved by Todd Johnson of VGC who is the
qualified person. NI 43-101 Technical Report dated April 27, 2012, which includes these results can be found
on our website here: http://www.verisgold.com/i/pdf/Jerritt_43-
101_Technical_Report_YE2011.pdf
NI 43-101 update completed on April 27, 2012 -
reserves increased by 46%.
Historical track record of 105% conversion from
Measured and Indicated resources to Proven and
Probable Reserves.
Near term opportunity to upgrade approximately
400 - 500K ozs of resources to reserves at the
Mahala Basin. Significant potential to increase resources and
reserves from 119 square mile land package.

Resource Expansion & Exploration Opportunities
Underground and surface exploration
planned at both the Smith and SSX/Steer
mines to expand resource and reserves
organically.
Exceptional recent drill results including
Mahala Basin validate belief that new
resources will be found nearby existing
mines.
Recent 2012 underground exploration
intercepts 49.71 m grading 8.26 g/t Au and
42.39 m grading 7.89 g/t Au.
Currently evaluating potential open-pit
reserve additions within the existing pits.
Good exploration opportunities at depths
below 180m.
Southern portion of claim block is highly
prospective but virtually unexplored.

Deutsche Bank Gold Facility
1515www.verisgold.com
Since August 2011, two gold forward
loans with Deutsche Bank (DB) have
been implemented to raise gross
proceeds of ~$140M USD, with $10M
set aside in a reserve account.
Proceeds from the gold loans have
been used to retire existing
indebtedness, fund capital
expenditures at Jerritt Canyon and for
general corporate purposes.
Delivery of ounces to DB also results in
a cash payment to VGC for spot price
minus $850 for both facilities, up to a
maximum spot price of $1,950 for the
first gold loan (173,880 oz), and $1,750
for the second gold loan (27,950 oz).
To date, deliveries have been ongoing.
