2Cautionary 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

differ materially from those described in this
presentation as a result of numerous factors,

preliminary and may not be accurate due to
various factors, including but not limited to
sample recoveries, true widths and
interpretations.

4What 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.

17The 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.

25Exeter 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.
26Our 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.

28- 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 .
