Where Infrastructure Meets Grade
Forward Looking Statements
Information set forth in this presentation may contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are statements that relate to future, not past events. In this context, forward-looking
statements often address a company's expected future business and financial performance, and
often contain words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "estimate", "expect", and "intend",
statements that an action or event "may", "might", "could", "should", or "will" be taken or occur,
or other similar expressions. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance
or achievements, or other future events, to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such
factors include, among others, risks associated with project development; the need for additional
financing; operational risks associated with mining and mineral processing; fluctuations in gold
and other commodity prices; title matters; environmental liability claims and insurance; reliance on
key personnel; the absence of dividends; competition; dilution; the volatility of our common share
price and volume; and tax consequences to U.S. Shareholders. Forward-looking statements are
made based on management's beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date that statements are
made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if these
beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change. Investors are cautioned
against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements.

The Carlisle Vision
Where Infrastructure Meets Grade
“Strong economics in the recent preliminary economic assessment position Carlisle Goldfields and its Joint
Venture partner Aurico Gold Inc. to conduct a feasibility study on resuming gold production at Lynn Lake. Our
vision is to build a ‘best-in-class’ mining operation on sustainable development of the high grade, open-pittable
Farley Lake and MacLellan gold deposits in the past-producing Lynn Lake Gold Camp, Manitoba, Canada.
We ultimately hope to share the benefits of new mine development at the Lynn Lake Project with our First Nation
stakeholders, the community of Lynn Lake, Province of Manitoba and AuRico and Carlisle shareholders. We will
demonstrate leadership by fostering a social license to operate and a credible technical approach to developing a
robust mineral reserve which supports a construction decision.”

Goldcorp recently announced a definitive
agreement to acquire Probe Mines for $5.00 a
share or ~$526M
Probe’s primary asset, Borden Lake, like Lynn
Lake, has excellent infrastructure and is
located in a mining-friendly jurisdiction
The valuation ascribed to the two projects is
the largest difference between them
Probe was valued at $133/oz per M&I
resource ounce
Carlisle is currently valued at ~$8/oz of M&I
resource ounces and currently in feasibility
on Farley Lake and MacLellan open pits as
funded by partner AuRico Gold Inc. (AUQ).

Lake Deal Look Pretty Savvy…”

Notes:
1. CIM definitions were followed for estimating mineral resource.
2. Assumed mining dilution rate 5%.
3. Mineral Resources are estimated using a diluted cut-off grade (AU Equiv.)
4. Whittle Pit Shells are designed using a gold price of US$1,241/oz, and a Silver price US$20/oz.
10
5. Mineral Resources are estimated using a gold recovery rate 89.3% and 93.7% for MacLellan and Farley separately.
6. Mineral Resources are estimated using a silver recovery rate 61% for MacLellan only.
7. There are no known risks that could materially affect potential development.
