Cautionary Statement
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors The United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
permits 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 inferred resource, that
the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit us from
including in our filings with the SEC. U.S.
investors are urged to consider closely the
disclosure contained in our annual report on Form
40-F. You can review and obtain copies of our
filings from the SECs website at
http//www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml. This document
and the information contained in it do not
constitute a prospectus and do not form any part
of an offer of, or invitation to apply for,
securities in any jurisdiction. Potential
investors should not rely solely on the
information contained herein prior to making any
investment decision. Investors should seek
independent advice from a qualified finance and
investment advisor, giving due regard to their
own personal circumstances, prior to forming any
investment decision. Safe Harbor Statement -
This presentation may contain certain
forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the United States Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements
reflect our current belief and are based upon
currently available information. Exeter is under
no obligation to update or alter any forward
looking statements except as required under
applicable securities laws. Actual results could
differ materially from those described in this
presentation as a result of numerous factors,
some of which are outside of the control of
Exeter. Many of the assay results presented are
preliminary and may not be accurate due to
various factors, including but not limited to
sample recoveries, true widths and
interpretations.

What makes Exeter unique?
  • Exeter treasury is C30 million cash (no debt).
  • Leverage to gold - Exeter owns 0.2 oz. gold per
    share - significantly more than our peer group
    average.
  • Caspiche deposit is 12.65 million ounces (gold
    equivalent) based on 8.73 million ounces gold and
    2,090,600,000 pounds of copper (NI43-101
    compliant estimate). Recent drilling has extended
    the deposit - new resource announcement scheduled
    September 2009.
  • Cerro Moro high grade gold-silver project in
    Argentina is 671,000 oz gold (equivalent) at 0.52
    oz/ton (NI43-101 compliant estimate).
    potentially a very low cost gold-silver mine.
    Drilling and engineering continuing.
  • Don Sixto gold-silver property 1.2 million
    ounces gold (NI43-101 compliant resource).
  • Subject to a 1,000,000 payment.

Cerro Casale Project (Barrick-Kinross Gold) 25
million oz. gold resource
Refugio Mine (Kinross) 6.2 million oz. gold
resource
Caspiche Discovery 8.7 million oz. gold resource
The Caspiche discovery is situated between two
world class gold deposits. The area was held by
Anglo American and lay dormant for 10 years prior
to the Exeter acquisition. The Caspiche
gold-copper system is very large and continued
success could rapidly transform Exeter into a
mid-tier gold company.

mineral reserve (NI43-101 compliant) of 21.2
million ounces gold and 5.31 billion pounds of
copper based on 1.09 billion metric tons at a
grade of 0.61 g/t gold and 0.22 copper

The Cerro Moro Discovery Drilling resumed on
high grade vein system
  • Cerro Moro high grade gold-silver project in
    Argentina is 671,000 oz gold (equivalent) at 0.52
    oz/ton (NI43-101 compliant estimate).
  • The discovery is high grade 1 oz/ton
    gold-silver over a vein length of 1 mile.
  • The exploration target is a 2 million ounce
    gold-silver deposit, to be tested in 2009-2010.
    Similar in size to the AngloGold and Pan American
    Silver mines in the area.
  • The property is in Argentina, located at low
    altitude, close to a seaport and infrastructure.
  • Two rig operating.

Note Gold equivalent grade is calculated by
dividing the silver assay result by 70, adding it
to the gold value and assuming 100 metallurgical
recovery.

Exeter News Flow
  • September 2009 February 2010
  • September the second Caspiche NI43-101
    compliant resource estimate to be announced.
  • Cerro Moro assay results to be announced as
    drilling progresses on both Escondida in-fill
    area and the Escondida extension (on Fomicruz JV
    land).
  • October drilling resumes at Caspiche results
    to be announced as drilling progresses.
  • Updates on engineering and metallurgical work on
    both projects.

26
Our Goals To establish Exeter as a mid-tier
mining company
  • Cerro Moro project becomes a very low cost
    gold-silver mine producing 100,000 oz/yr (gold
    equivalent). Sales US90 M/yr.
  • Caspiche discovery proves to be a world class
    gold-copper deposit. Exeter monetizes the asset
    when markets conditions optimum.
  • Don Sixto Project permitting issues overcome and
    project moves to evaluation stage.
  • AngloGold and Rio Tinto property portfolio
    generates further discoveries for Exeter.

  • Exeter in an Industry Context
  • The dynamic of the gold mining business continues
    to be driven by MA activity as producers strive
    for increased production and gold inventories.
  • Cumulative industry expenditures of 4
    billion/year yield mega gold deposits (5
    million ounces) at a rate of only 1 per year.
  • The timeline from discovery to production is ever
    increasing, as is the cost per new ounce
    discovered. Todays discovery cost exceeds 50
    per ounce (industry average).
  • The major producers carry their gold inventories
    at an EV/share of 209/ounce (industry average).
  • Exeters EV/share is presently only 20/ounce.
  • Exeters total gold
    inventory includes by-product credits. Data is
    from NI43-101 compliant resources .
