Why gold?
“…after three and a half years of a
declining gold price…certainly closer
to a bottom than the top…”
“…while the central bankers of the
world are racing to debase their
currencies …gold was the second
best performing currency in 2014!”

Why Nevada?
~ Top reasons to explore in Nevada1
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Five of the world’s largest and lowest cost mines.
Great geology with benign geography, dry climate and
year round access.
Favorable regulatory system with prompt permitting.
Politically stable and superior logistical capability.
Large network of knowledgeable exploration geologists,
and supporting organizations and agencies.
Good infrastructure of roads, drillers, hotels, supplies,
assayers, etc.
No malaria, black flies, moose, polar bears, desert
death adders or crocodiles; just elephants.
‘…simply the best geology, geography
and geo-politics in the world…with
elephant sized Carlin-type gold
deposits…!’

NuLegacy’s COO, Dr.
Roger Steininger
discovered:
• Pipeline in 1989
• Iceberg in 2012
The Iceberg
1 As reported by Barrick as of December 31, 2013, the Goldrush deposit contained a resource of 423,000 ounce of gold (3.1
million tons grading 0.137 oz./ton - measured), 9,537,000 ounces (72.5 million tons grading 0.132 oz./ton - indicated) and
5,555,000 ounce (39.5 million tons grading 0.141 oz/ton - inferred). The presence of gold deposits on properties adjacent to or
in close proximity to the Company’s property is not necessarily indicative of gold mineralization on the Company’s property.

The Cortez elephants
~ Billions of dollars ~
• Three of the largest, highest grade
and politically safest gold deposits in
the world:
o 50 million+ oz gold endowment.
o Producing ~ 1.0 million oz per year.
o At remarkably low AIS-Cost of $589
per ounce of gold1.
• Roger Steininger, NuLegacy’s COO
discovered:
o Barrick's 21+ million oz Pipeline
(1989).
o NuLegacy’s Iceberg (2012).
The Cortez trend has one of the largest endowments of
gold in Nevada.

On trend with 3 of the world’s highest grade and politically safest gold deposits.
With a strike length in excess of 3,000 meters and open in multiple directions.
With an NI 43-101 compliant very near-surface oxide gold exploration target
in the North & Central zones of:
• 90 to 110 million tonnes grading 0.9 grams to 1.1 grams of
gold/tonne.1
• With favourable heap-leaching characteristics.

These figures are conceptual in nature and derived from a compilation of 149 historic and 34 NuLegacy drill
holes. To date, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further
exploration will result in a resource being delineated. No preliminary economic assessment or other study has
been completed and geologically it is too speculative to apply economic considerations at this time.

NB. These intercepts may not be true widths as there is insufficient data to calculate them at this time. Data verification of the
analytical results included a statistical analysis of the duplicates, standards and blanks to ensure accurate and verifiable
results. *Historical assays have not been confirmed and should not be relied upon. They are presented to provide an indication
of the possible extent of the gold mineralization in the Iceberg deposit and a guide to future exploration.

• NuLegacy is fully funded to complete the remaining $1.3 million
earn-in expenditures as planned by end-September, 2015.
• Barrick will then have 90 days to elect to spend $15 million (thus
converting NUG’s interest to a 30% carried interest1) or remain a
30% minority partner.
Under the earn-back option NuLegacy Gold is effectively
‘financed all the way to gold production’.

Why now?
~ BNN ~
• Renewed bull market for gold with severely depressed exploration
stocks.
• Mid-March start to drilling 15-20 holes to expand the Iceberg in fully
funded 2015 exploration program.
• Reporting higher gold grades from improved geological interpretation.
• Initial NI 43-101 resource calculation scheduled for Q3-2015.
• Completing earn-in scheduled for Q4-2015.
• Create competitive tension among industry partners by:
•
•
•
Encouraging Barrick to elect to earn-back,
Attracting a competitive ‘buy-out’ for stock or cash, or
Merging with a qualified gold producer to bring to production.

• FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS – Except for the statements of historical fact contained herein, certain information presented constitutes "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Canadian and United States securities and other laws. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use
of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates ”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “aims”, “anticipates”, “will”, “projects”, or “believes” or
variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events, results or conditions “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or
“will” be taken, occur or be achieved. By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our
control. Forward looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made, as well as a number of assumptions
made by, and information currently available to, NuLegacy concerning, among other things, anticipated geological formations, potential mineralization, future plans for
exploration and/or development, potential future production, drilling exposure, and exploration budgets and timing of expenditures, all of which involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievement of NuLegacy to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The existence of gold resources on adjacent properties is not
necessarily indicative of the mineralization on NuLegacy's properties. There are currently no known resources or reserves on the Iceberg Gold Project. Factors that could
cause actual results to vary materially from results anticipated by such forward looking statements include, among others, risks related to the actual results of current and
future exploration activities, changes in government legislation, changes in ownership interest in a project, conclusions of economic evaluations, changes in project
parameters as plans continue to be refined, future prices of gold, silver and other metals, environmental risks and hazards, infrastructure and/or operating costs, labor
and employment matters, availability of financing, permitting availability and government regulation as well as those factors discussed in NuLegacy’s continuous
disclosure documents, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, including but not limited to, NuLegacy’s prospectus. Historical assays referred to in this presentation
have not been confirmed and should not be relied upon. They are presented solely to provide an indication of the possible extent of the mineralization in NuLegacy’s
properties and as a guide to future exploration.
• Although NuLegacy has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there maybe other factors that cause results not to be
as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. NuLegacy disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by applicable law. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements.
