REGIONAL SETTING

• Pinecrest’s flagship Enchi Gold Project is located on the prolific Bibiani Shear zone which hosts multi-million ounce gold deposits

− Enchi Gold Project covers 50km of the Bibiani Shear Zone

• Located within 70km of Kinross Gold Corporation’s Chirano gold mine which produced 286,542 oz Au in 2014

11

Page 12: Pinecrest corporate presentation  updated rck

ENCHI GOLD PROJECT OVERVIEW

• 100%1 owned resource delineation stage gold project

• NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report with an Inferred resource of +1M oz Au

• Substantially underexplored 696km2 land package

− VTEM airborne geophysical survey identified over 25 new exploration targets

• Resource zones Boin, Nyam and Sewum open in all directions

ENCHI MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE (2014)

The 2014 Mineral Resource estimate was based on 52,385 metres of diamond and RC drilling in 646 holes as well as data from 13,799 metres in 102 surface trenches. The drilling is spaced at 25 to 50 metre intervals

1. CIM definition standards were followed for the resource estimate.

2. The 2014 resource models used ordinary kriging (OK) grade estimation within a three-dimensional block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids.

3. A base cut-off grade of 0.7 g/t Au was used for reporting resources with a capping of gold grades at 18 g/t.

4. A US$1,300/ounce gold price, open pit with heap leach operation was used to determine the cut-off grade.

5. A density of 2.45 g/cm3 was applied.

6. Numbers may not add exactly due to rounding.

7. Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have economic viability.

*The July 2014 Resource Estimate was prepared by independent qualified person Todd McCracken, P. Geo. of WSP Canada Inc. (“WSP”) a technical report will be completed within 45 days. 13

EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

• Several high priority gold targets identified to expand the already substantial +1 million ounce near surface oxide resource with multi-million ounce opportunities

MULTIPLE UNTESTED TARGETS

• Regional airbone study completed by Condor Geophysics

• Several structures appear to correlate to known mineralization, while many other similar structure patterns remain untested

• Current resource zones only make up a small fraction of total land package – significant opportunity to expand

PEA OVERVIEW

18

Disclosure

The NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered toospeculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineralreserves, and there is no certainty that the Preliminary Economic Assessment will be realized. The Enchi Gold Project PEA Technical Reportwill be available on sedar in 45 days from the news release dated March 2, 2015 and was prepared by Joanne Robinson P.Eng of WSPCanada a professional independent mining engineer registered in Canada and a QP as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mineralresources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability

*2.0% NSR to Kinross Gold and US$10 for each newly defined ounce of gold contained in any new NI 43-101 M&I mineral resource estimate or any ounce of gold mined,whichever occurs first. Such amount shall be payable in cash or, at Pinecrest’s option, in common shares of Pinecrest, provided that, Pinecrest shall not be entitled to elect topay in common shares if such issuance would result in Red Back holding more than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Pinecrest. The Ghana government have a 10%free carry and a 5% royalty.

NEXT STEPS & OPPORTUNITIES

25

Complete metallurgical test work (heap leach opportunity)

Advance towards Prefeasibility Study, EIS, additional drilling and evaluate contract mining options to reduce initial capital and enhance already attractive project economics

Expand current resources at Sewum, Nyam and Boin deposits both along strike and at depth

Additional exploration work on high priority gold targets (Eradi, Kojina Hill (1.14 g/t Au over 68 metres)

Test multiple new drill targets identified by VTEM airborne survey
