DISCLOSURE

Forward Looking Statements

as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect
to the timing and amount of estimated future exploration, success of exploration activities, expenditures, permitting, and requirements for
additional capital and access to data.
Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by the forward looking statements. Such factors include, among others, risks related to actual results of current exploration activities;
changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; the ability to enter into joint ventures or to acquire or dispose of properties;
future prices of mineral resources; accidents, labor disputes and other risks of the mining industry; ability to obtain financing; and delays in
obtaining governmental approvals of financing.

43-101 Historical Estimate Disclosure


The quoted historical estimates of resources for Sugarloaf Peak were prepared prior to the implementation of NI 43-101 Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects ( 43-101 ) and are not compliant with 43-101. These resource estimates were reported in N.R. Dausinger Jr,
1983 and N.R. Dausinger Jr., 1987 using a polygonal estimate of all drill holes that had gold assays. Choice Gold Corp. is not aware of any
subsequent resource estimations and it has not yet completed sufficient work to calculate a 43-101 compliant resource. Choice Gold Corp. has
had prepared a 43-101 Technical Report on the Sugarloaf Peak Project (see the Goldsmith Report dated November 27, 2008 filed on
www.sedar.com), which describes the non 43-101 compliant historic resource estimates by Dausinger, including (a) 100 million tons at ~ 0.5 g/
t gold average grade for a total of 1.5 million ounces gold from shallow drilling averaging less than 130m depth and (b) 60 million tons of ~ 0.6
g/t average grade for a total of 1.2 million ounces gold with mineralization open to depth and along strike.
The historic estimates use categories other than the CIM definitions prescribed by 43-101 but they are based on calculations of tons, cut-off
grade and average grade at various levels of confidence, which is consistent with the CIM definitions. Choice Gold Corp. considers the historic
estimates to be roughly equivalent to the CIM defined inferred resource category level of certainty, reliable based on the data available at the
time, and relevant for the volume of mineralization drilled at that time. Choice Gold Corp. cautions the reader that (i) a 43-101 qualified person
has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, (ii) it Is not treating the
historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves as defined in sections 1.2 and 1.3 of 43-101, and (iii) these historical
estimates should not be relied upon.

started early April 2011 to identify targets

•  10,000m drill program in 2 phases (5,000m & 5,000m) – beginning in July

•  Attempt to expand boundaries of known mineralization – still open along strike


and at depth

•  Establish NI 43-101 compliant resource

•  Hire a metallurgical consultant and perform detailed metallurgical studies

•  Evaluate project economics before any significant dilution is to occur

•  Organize all information gathered into data room maintained for future use

SUMMARY & OPPORTUNITY

•  Large and secure land package in mining friendly jurisdiction with good
infrastructure
•  Large bulk tonnage potential
•  Historical non-NI 43-101 compliant resource – discovery risk removed
•  Limited drill testing so far – mineralized zone open along strike and at
depth
•  Titan 24 IP results expected by end of May
•  10,000m of drilling in the near future to fully delineate resource and
make NI 43-101 compliant
•  Strong and focused management team with a low overhead mandate
