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 various risks and uncertainties. Such

forward-looking statements include, without limitation, (i)

estimates and projections of future gold production and cash

operating costs, (ii) estimates of savings 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 no assurance 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 the estimates 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 the

companies’ expectations are disclosed in documents filed from

time to time 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 the companies do not undertake any obligation to

Form on file with the SEC (www.sec.gov) as well as the

companies' other regulatory filings.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors ‐ The U.S. Securities and

Exchange Commission permits U. S. mining companies , in their

filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that

a company can economically and legally extract or produce. We

use certain terms in this presentation, such as “measured”,

“indicated”, and “inferred” “resources”, which the SEC guidelines

strictly prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their

filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely

INDEPENDENCE PROJECT OVERVIEW

• Located in Lander County, Nevada

• Total historic drilling: 241 drill holes over

92,680 feet (included in Cibolan Gold’s

geological modeling)

• Cibolan Gold has drilled, logged, and

modeled more than 40,000 feet from 128

RC drill holes and 3 core holes

• Multiple deposits at the property

Near surface epithermal system

Deep, high-grade underground target

• Numerous high grade intercepts including

several multi-ounce 5 foot intercepts

• Mineralization open in multiple directions

MINING IN NEVADA

• Nevada is ranked among the Top 10

most favorable mining jurisdictions

in the world

• Nevada is responsible for nearly

80% of annual gold production in

the U.S.

• Nevada is the 2nd largest silver

producer in the U.S.

• Cibolan Gold’s Independence

Project is located in the Battle

Mountain-Cortez Gold Trend in

Lander County

SURROUNDING MINES

• Encircled by several large scale

historic deposits – Fortitude,

Marigold, McCoy/Cove, Phoenix,

and Sunshine

• The Fortitude Mine’s historic

production totaled 2.2 million

ounces of gold and 9.7 million

ounces of silver

• Fortitude is considered to be

among the most lucrative mines

in Nevada history

* The historic Fortitude Mine lies only 4,000 feet northeast of the Independence Mine.

SURROUNDING MINES:

• The Phoenix Mine, owned and

operated by a major gold producer,

flanks the Independence Project on

three sides

• Phoenix Mine annually produces

over 250,000 ounces of gold and

900,000 ounces of silver

• The property contains proven and

probable reserves worth in excess of

$20 billion

• The Independence Project sits atop

the same trend as the Phoenix Mine

* The Phoenix Mine also produces 22 million pounds of copper each year

PROPERTY HISTORY

• Independence Mine was

intermittently in production

from 1938 through 1987

• Historic production: 11,000

ounces of gold and 750,000

ounces of silver

• Historic grades: 0.17 ounces

gold per ton of and 11.53

ounces of silver per ton

• Cibolan Gold Corporation

NEAR SURFACE EPITHERMAL DEPOSIT

• Shallow, open pit mineable target

• Measured & Indicated resource:

223,300 ounces of gold; 3,784,400

ounces of silver

• All 131 Cibolan Gold’ drill holes

encountered mineralization

• Strike length of over 3,000 feet and

depth of 400 feet

• Cibolan Gold is on track to

complete a Preliminary Economic

Assessment by the end of 2015

February-March 2015

OTC:CIB

G

www.Nevada-Goldmine.com

DEEP SKARN DEPOSIT

• High-grade, gold rich deep

underground target

• From a limited number of drill

holes, an Inferred resource of

796,000 ounces of gold already

has been established

• Zone of mineralization is more

than 1,400 feet wide and 3,400

feet long

• Potential for multi-million ounce

gold resource

February-March 2015

OTC:CIB

GOLD COPPER PORPHYRY TREND

• Underlies the Independence Project’s deep skarn target

• One deep drill hole intercepted 2 oz/t gold

• This zone appears to be part of the highly prolific Battle

Mountain-Eureka Trend, responsible for 23 million ounces

of historic gold production

• The Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend could contain even

greater resource potential than the parallel running Carlin

Trend, which has produced over 180 million ounces of gold

• Cibolan Gold is planning to conduct additional deep drilling

that could substantially expand the Independence Project’s

resource base

OTC:CIB

G

www.Nevada-Goldmine.com

WHY NOW

Cibolan recently undertook a fresh review of the data

• Why: Identify targets where we can mine 4 to 5 million tons

grading 0.05 ounces per ton to put on the preliminarily

engineered leach pad

• Incorporate known data from other properties in area

• Focused on near surface, near term production opportunities

OTC:CIB

G

www.Nevada-Goldmine.com

WHAT’S NEW

Results of the Review

• Identified range front fault system along western edge of current drilling

• Several holes with multi ounce intercepts drilled west of the fault

• Tenth ounce or greater intercepts in other holes were on trend

• Identified other targets on the property – including High Grade NE Structural Zone

• Designed drilling plan to expand current resources; potentially identify up to 2.0

million tons averaging up to 0.30 ounce per ton (20 times our current average grade)

Recommendations

• Re-examine geologic model in current resource area – focus on structural controls,

emphasize high-grade potential

• Evaluate Range Front system by drilling additional core and reverse circular holes

• Evaluate other identified targets areas with further mapping, sampling and drilling

• Complete PEA using revised geologic model resulting form Range Front and other

target drilling
