FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: The information on this presentation includes certain Forward-Looking Statements within the meaning of securities exchange regulation. All statements regarding potential mineralization and reserves, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of Majestic Gold Corp. are Forward-Looking Statements that involve various risks and uncertainties. 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. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Majestic Gold Corp. expectations are disclosed under the heading Risk Factors and elsewhere in Majestic Gold Corp. documents filed from time to time with the securities regulatory authorities. NI 43-101 DISCLOSURE: Unless otherwise noted, all of Majestics exploration programs and the related disclosure of information of technical or scientific nature are prepared by, or prepared under the direct supervision of Mike Hibbitts, Majestics P.Geo VP Exploration and Development and Rod Husband P.Geo, President and CEO who are Qualified Persons as defined in NI 43-101. This presentation and several associated documents refer to a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) prepared by Wardrop Engineering Ltd., and dated February 25, 2011. The PEA includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will ever be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Companys production decision was made based on the open pit optimization resource model set out in the PEA, which takes into account the relatively low mining costs negotiated by the Company. The Song Jiagou resource estimate was carried out using industry-standard procedures and a geological interpretation of the deposit that, to the extent possible, reflected observations of grade distributions. Modeling of the deposit is uncertain, however, because it is difficult to establish with a high level of confidence the area of influence of higher-grade gold values. The risk remains, therefore, that the geological model may overstate the distribution of high-grade gold values. If future mining demonstrates that this is in fact the case, then the model may overstate anticipated gold grades. Because the probability of this outcome is unknown, the level of uncertainty must also be unknown.

PRODUCTION DISCLAIMER: The Companys production decision was not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. The Companys production decision was made based on the open pit optimization resource mode l set out in the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) which takes into account the relatively low mining costs negotiated by the Company. The pit optimization that was conducted in the preliminary assessment generated a production schedule summary at grade cutoff of 0.30 grams per tonne Au. The PEA includes the inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied the them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will ever be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not demonstrate economic viability. Open pit optimization was carried out using Whittle 4.3 which uses series of Lerchs Grossman (LG) pit shells at different prices of gold to optimize the size of the pit while maximizing net present value (NPV) for the deposit. The resulting LG shells generated the highest discounted cash flow from the ore body at varying prices of gold. The LG shell used for optimization does not apply practical mining considerations and constraints The strategic planning using the generated LG pit resulted in Wardrop identifying the potential minable resources within the proposed preliminary production schedule. The optimization was based on a gold price of $973 per ounce and and exchange rate of $1.000 (U.S.) to $1.087 (Canadian). The Song Jiagou resource estimate was carried out using industry-standard procures and a geological interpretation of the deposit that, to the extent possible, reflected observations of grade distributions. Modeling of the deposit is uncertain, however, because it is difficult to establish with a high level of confidence the area of influence of higher-grade gold values. If future mining demonstrates that this is in fact the case, then the model may overstate anticipated gold grades. Because the probability of this outcome is unknown, the level of uncertainty must also be unknown

GROWTH STRATEGY
The Task
Achieve annual production greater than 400,000 oz
Status
Song Jiagou currently ramping up to 100,000 oz/yr, with potential to expand may ultimately produce 200K oz/yr
Strategy
Acquire additional projects through M&A: Focus on assets which are: At or near gold production (i.e. cash flow); Currently undervalued by the market; In the Asia Pacific region Acquire additional projects through M&A: Focus on assets which are: At or near gold production (i.e. cash flow); Currently undervalued by the market; In the Asia Pacific region Ramp up production at Song Jiagou Strengthen BOD and Management Pursue Hong Kong listing options Marketing road shows to better explain the company and its vision
35
Become highly attractive to Asian investors who understand cash flow but not necessarily development projects, and yet want exposure to the mining sector and gold in particular
Significant interest in the company from Asian investors to date, however TSX.V listing and some unsupportive shareholders in NA and Europe have resulted in shares being significantly undervalued
SUMMARY
SUMMARY
Large NI 43-101 gold resource
In production Valued at a low P/NAV multiple based on current market capitalization of approximately US$125 Mi Project NPV of $525 Mi (using Wardrops gold price of US$973/oz) a current P/NAV multiple of 0.27 times Project NPV of $975 Mi (using current gold prices of US$1,500/oz) a current P/NAV multiple of 0.15 times Re-rating expected based on valuations of comparable companies at or near production Current in-situ multiple of $31/oz, versus average of $111/oz for comparable companies Potential to expand resource Achievable growth strategy Optimize production to 100,000 oz / year Growth through M&A Increase exposure to Asian investors (HK listing)

Gold Production in the Song Jiagou gold mine for the 1Q of FY 2013 reached 4,813oz The objective of production in 2013 is to lower cut-off grade, improve waste management and increase mill throughput using the pit optimization model developed by Wardrop Continue to work closely with SRK Beijing on an application to the Chinese Government to expand the mining zone and mining permit to 7,400 tpd Advanced discussions have taken place with potential sponsors and lawyers in relation to Hong Kong listing Listing would greatly enhance the companys exposure in Asia, and in China in particular Initiated a formal search for potential merger and acquisition opportunities Deliotte is providing financial advisory services in relations to potential M&A transactions in the gold sector Identified 4 high-priority targets engagement with potential targets is ongoing Initiated discussion to exchange a 25% interest in JVCo for the 25% net profit interest currently held by Dahedong Simplify the corporate structure as well as assist with the mining permit application and presentation of the company to the HKEx
