terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does
not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or
“will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are based on the opinions and estimates of
management as of the date such statements are made, and they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, 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 and forward-looking information. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements or forward-looking
information that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Investors are advised that National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators requires that each category of mineral reserves and
mineral resources be reported separately. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated or Inferred Resources
The information presented uses the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources. United States investors are advised that while such
terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these
terms. “Inferred mineral 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 mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred
mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part
of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all
or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

mineralization as well as VMS type mineralization. The historic Cook Mine,
located nearby the Lac Laura Gold Project, produced 1,084,000 tonnes grading
5.69 g/t Au, 0.85% Cu and 10 g/t Ag in 1976 with resources of 307,000 tonnes
averaging 4.79 g/t Au, and 0.80% Cu as of 1985. All of the numbers are for
reference purposes only and non NI 43-101 compliant.

BOSTON CREEK GOLD PROJECT
BOSTON CREEK GOLD PROJECT
The 100% owned Boston Creek Gold Project comprises 10 claims totaling 74 units situated in the southern part of Boston Township in the Larder Lake area of
the Superior Province of Ontario. The total size of the claim group is 456 Ha in size (1,128 acres)
Kenzie Gold Vein
Location of the first gold discovery of in Boston Township was made in 1914 on what is called the Kenzie vein.
Development at the Boston Creek Gold Project had ceased due to WWI until recent acquisition and field work by Pro Minerals. In 1916 an inclined shaft was sunk to 200 feet in depth with 750 feet of lateral development on the 100 and 200 foot levels. Values of up to 1 ounce gold have been reported from the mineralized parts of the Kenzie vein. High grade gold showings were obtained from the 28 foot shaft on the western end of the vein and finely disseminated gold can be seen in many samples in the dump.
A sampling program of the waste dumps was done in May 2004 and anomalous values as high as 59.0 g/t Au where obtained. These grades substantiate the historical information on the property.
BOSTON CREEK GOLD PROJECT
The R.A.P. Syndicate area in the southern part of the property has been the subject of gold mining activity in the early 20th century and the northern part of Boston Township contains the former Adam’s Mine, an iron ore producer which ceased operations in the 1980s.
A small gold deposit (in the order of 150,000 ounces) is known to exit on property held by Marshall Minerals to the east of the Boston Creek Gold Project.
A Geophysical Magnetometer program in 2007 pinpointed multiple targets.
Subsequent trenching and sampling program was then undertaken on the property in 2009. An outcrop shoveled off in March 2009 was a long trench that was drilled and blasted consisting of a quartz filled sheer zone approximately 1.5m (5 feet). A strong quartz shear on strike was identified and recommended to be further prospected and sampled. The strike on the vein is 300 degrees.
A report prepared for Pro Minerals by J Atkinson Consulting dated March 25, 2011 recommended that as a preliminary effort the data from the airborne geophysical surveys that have been completed by the Ontario Government be obtained and a detailed interpretation be prepared for the area covered by the Boston Creek Claim Group.
The property is 16 kilometers southeast of the town Kirkland Lake, Ontario in the prolific gold producing area known as the Abitibi Greenstone Belt (AGB). The property can be accessed through the village of Boston Creek whereby logging roads are accessible throughout the claims. This property has an excellent potential for a small to medium sized high grade gold deposit.
CAIRO GOLD PROJECT
CAIRO GOLD PROJECT
Located in Matachwan – Cairo
Township, Ontario
1,600 hectares of highly prospective,
yet largely untested ground on the
western end of the 100 Million ounce gold
producing Cadillac-Larder Lake Break.
The Company’s Cairo claims are located
approximately 46 kilometres west of
Kirkland Lake, home to 40 Million ounces of past gold production.
Close proximity to the Young-Davidson Gold Mine which is 6th largest gold
reserve in Canada, with 2.8 Million ounces of gold and is set to begin
production in the 1st quarter of 2012.
CAIRO GOLD PROJECT
THREE PROSPECTIVE ZONES OF GOLD MINERALIZATION
1. The “Endeavour-Craig”claims are situated in the centre of Pro’s 100% owned Cairo Gold Project. Historically, these patented claims were noted to host a long gold carrying vein that ran along the length of the claims north to south; consisting principally of quartz and brecciated syenite with a width of up to 150 feet. In the early 1900’s, a shaft was sunk to a depth of 60 feet with short drifts cutting into the vein. Fine visible gold was reported in the shaft and drifts.
2. The “Whiskyjack” zone – Identified mineralization in the Nothern block of the Cairo. This recently acquired zone was also included in the completed 2011 Airborne survey.
3. The “Galaxy Zone” High-grade silver, copper and lead mineralization in the majority of the blasted trenches. Samples assaying up to 11.35% copper, 26.25 oz/ton silver and 24.45% lead was encountered at the intersection of a quartz vein, one-half metre in width, which contained approximately 20% galena and 20% chalcopyrite. Nearby, a smaller quartz vein of approximately 40% galena was identified.

hectares, is located at the heart of the prolific Shining Tree
mining camp south west of Kirkland Lake, Ontario.
LINE CUTTING AND SURFACE SAMPLING COMPLETED.
TUNED GRADIENT IP SURVEY COMPLETED AND POSITIVE REPORT
RECEIVED.
5 HIGH PRIORITY TARGETS IDENTIFIED WITH NUMEROUS
SECONDARY TARGETS.
BEDROCK SAMPLING OF HIGH PRIORITY TARGETS NOW
COMPLETED.
Drill program completed in 2010 of the “Beilby Lake Zone” tested a
300 m long Beilby Creek target.
SHINING TREE GOLD PROJECT
SHINING TREE GOLD PROJECT TUNED GRADIENT IP SURVEY
SHINING TREE GOLD PROJECT GEOPHYSICAL DRILL TARGETS
SHINING TREE GOLD PROJECT
In 2010, an eight hole drilling program
confirmed the presence of quartz-
carbonate veins parallel to major sheared
zone along the Beilby Creek with positive
gold values and alteration. This break is a
regionally significant fault controlling gold
mineralization. The Corona and Churchill
vein system extension is confirmed by
holes PRM10-5 to PRM10-8, inclusive.
Pro Minerals is now analyzing the data it
has received to date in more detail, and
will be utilizing its findings in planning its
next phase of diamond drilling for the
Shining Tree project.
