Gammon Gold Presentation


Denver Gold Forum September 2009 1

Forward Looking Statements


Forward Looking Statements
This presentations includes certain “forward-looking statements”. All statements other than statements of historical fact, included in this
presentation, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, among other things,
statements regarding targets, estimates and assumptions in respect of gold and silver production and prices, operating costs, results and capital
expenditures, mineral reserves and mineral resources and anticipated grades, recovery rates, future financial or operating performance, margins,
operating and exploration expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, costs and timing of construction, costs and timing
of future exploration and reclamations expenses.. 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 Gammon Gold’s expectations include, among others, risks related to international operations, the actual results of current
exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined as well as future
prices of gold and silver, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Gammon Gold’s Form 40-F as filed with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Although Gammon Gold has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially, there may be 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. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Cautionary Note to US Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
This presentation uses the terms “Measured”, “Indicated” and “Inferred” Resources. U.S. investors are advised that while such terms are
recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. “Inferred Resources” have a
great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an
inferred resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Resources may not form the basis of
feasibility or other economic studies. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Resources will ever
be converted into reserves. U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred mineral Resource exists, or is
economically or legally mineable.
