FORWARD–LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation contains “forward-looking information” or "forward-looking statements" that involve a number of risks and

uncertainties. Forward-looking information and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the

future prices of gold and other metals, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral estimates, the timing and

amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits,

success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, currency fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of

mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims, limitations on insurance coverage and

timing and possible outcome of pending litigation. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words

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 are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of

the date such statements are made, and they 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 other future results, performance or achievements

expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others: the actual results of current exploration

activities; actual results of current reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans

continue to be refined; future prices of gold; possible variations in ore grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to

operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or

financing or in the completion of development or construction activities, fluctuations in metal prices, as well as those risk factors discussed or

referred to in this news release under and in the Company’s annual information form under the heading "Risk Factors" and other documents

filed from time to time with the securities regulatory authorities in all provinces and territories of Canada and available at

www.sedar.com. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ

materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be

anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results

and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue

reliance on forward-looking statements.

• The Chelopech mineral deposit lies in the northern part of the Panagyurishte mining district where a number of copper-bearing massive sulphide and porphyry copper deposits exist.

• The Company acquired its mining rights (i.e. Mining License) under a Concession Agreement with the Bulgarian Government , signed in 1999 for a period of 30 years.

• The Mining License covers an area of 266 hectares and includes the area of the Chelopech mining operation and its immediatesurroundings. The Company owns the land upon which the facilities are constructed.

• The mine has operated since the early 1950’s.

• The operation was acquired by Dundee Precious Metals in 2003.

Chelopech Gold/Copper Mine

Chelopech Gold/Copper Mine

• The mine currently produces approximately 75,000 ounces of gold and 12,000 tonnes of copper per annum in a high arsenic concentrate grading approximately 16.5% copper and approximately 30 g/t gold.

• The target growth plans are to grow production since acquisition from 550,000 tonnes per year to 2,000,000 tonnes per year.

• All concentrates produced are currently processed through the Tsumeb Smelter. In 2010 DPM purchased the Tsumeb Smelter in Namibia.

Safety – Four Key Concepts

Felt Leadership

Zero Tolerance

Zero Harm

Safe Production

Leading by example, walking the talk, demonstrating care

and visibility in the workplace.

Not accepting unsafe conditions or acts. No exceptions to

following legislation and company policies, rules and

procedures. Enforcing the rules.

Preventing accidents, incidents, property damage and loss to

people and to the business.

One without the other is not a viable or successful business.
