2 Forward Looking Statements Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Prize Mining Corp. and Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; the anticipated benefits of the acquisition not occurring in the expected time frame or at all; the actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of gold; possible variations of ore grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labor disputes and other risks of the mining industry; political instability, insurrection or war; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities. Although Prize Mining Corp. and Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially ill from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this presentation and Prize Mining Corp. and Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. There can be noassurancethat t forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Prize Mining Corp. and Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or managements estimates or opinions should change.

24 Habitat investigations indicate that Pine Creek in the area of the Yellowjacket Gold Project is of generally low habitat value and potential. Diversity of fish species is low in the Yellowjacket area of Pine Creek due to water-falls (fish barrier) located 4.8 kilometres downstream from the Project. Only slimy sculpin and one immature Arctic grayling were found in the Yellowjacket area of Pine Creek.

25 Acid Base Accounting (ABA) ON-GOING WASTE CHARACTERIZATION WORK Paste ph values indicate material NOT actively producing ARD; Total sulphur concentrations from the area of the bulk sample pit are very low ranging from below detection (<0.02%) up to a maximum of 0.07%; All samples collected have net potential ratio (NPR) values > 4, with the majority between 100 and 1000 indicating non-acid generating (NAG). All samples are submitted for static characterization, including acid-base accounting (ABA), paste ph, total sulphur, sulphate sulphur, sulphide sulphur, total carbon, total inorganic carbon, siderite corrected Sobek neutralization potential (NP) and multi-element geochemistry (aqua-regia leach). As well, a suite of samples will be submitted for mineralogical investigation in order to more clearly determine the source and abundance of NP mineralization in Yellowjacket Zone materials. Field-based kinetic tests collect and monitor the quality of contact water draining from the waste stockpiles at the Yellowjacket site. Field leach bin experiments closely l resemble actual conditions present with natural waste piles, including site-specific climatic conditions, scale, grain size, and water-rock ratios.

During the bulk sample test no chemicals or additives were used in the processing or extraction of the gold.

29 Prize Mining Corporation and the Taku River Tlingit First Nation (TRTFN) have built a relationship based on communication, respect and consultation during all phases of this project. The Yellowjacket Joint Venture is committed to continued open consultation throughout the life of fthe project. Consultation Project Approval For Excavation and Bulk Sampling

52 UNIQUE? 1 - BC SMALL MINES ACT PERMIT APPLICATION - PROJECT SITE ALREADY DEVELOPED AND INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN PLACE - IN AN AREA WITH 110 YEARS OF HEAVY DISTURBANCE BY PLACER MINING (DE-REGULATED CREEK) - SIMPLE GRAVITY CONCENTRATING GOLD RECOVERY PLANT NO CHEMICALS OR ADDITIVES USED - ML/ARD STUDIES SHOW WASTE AND ORE ROCK ARE NON- ACID GENERATING - GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH LOCAL FIRST NATIONS

53 2 OPERATIONAL COSTS UNIQUE? - MAJORITY OF CAPITAL COSTS ALREADY PAID - MILLING COSTS ARE ~1.5 g/t GOLD - MINING COSTS ARE OFFSET BY PLACER GOLD PRODUCTION - RECLAMATION COSTS ARE LOW (NO SOILS OR VEGETATION) ALONG DE-REGULATED PLACER CREEK - GOOD INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDING POWER - LOCAL WORKFORCE AND SERVICE/SUPPLY CONTRACTORS
