  1. Development Plan

  2. Corporate Objectives • Increase shareholder value through exploration & development of large impact mineral projects in North America and Australia • Build a cash flow driven resource company within 2 years through strategic development of existing and proven properties in Australia and North America • Continued exploration and mining of high grade, shallow gold, copper and nickel deposits in Australia • Development of a major gold tailings project in South Dakota

  20. Hill EndNSW, AUSTRALIA (Au) • Gold license #5801 covers 4.626 hectares (11 acres) & is valid till Dec. 2022 • Gold license #5809 covers 3.42 hectares (9 acres) & is valid till Dec. 2022 • Dredging license #1231 covers 40.44 hectares (90 acres), due for renewal in 2004 for 21 years • Hill End is the richest gold field, per ton of ore crushed, in history, with the average grade recovered over 30 oz per ton. • 639 lb Gold Nugget (world’s largest) mined at Hill End in 1872 • 1997 production at Golden Gully produced 2 oz/ton at a depth of 190 feet along a 240 foot section of one 10” wide gold bearing reef. Mining ceased when miners broke into old workings • There is a total of 11 gold bearing reefs in this saddle reef formation • Past mining restricted to a depth of 250’ due to water flows which today are no problem • Gold reefs are known to extend to at least 1500’

  21. Hill End Cont’dNSW, AUSTRALIA (Au) Production Plan: • Sink a decline or vertical shaft initially to 600 ft. vertical • This will allow access to all 11 gold bearing reefs • Production target 200 tons per day for 400 ounces of gold • This will increase periodically due to patches of bonanza grade gold values (ie. Up to 20 ounces per ton in Cosmopolitan shaft – 1872 mine manager’s report)

  22. Hill End OwnershipNSW, AUSTRALIA (Au) • Leases owned 70% by Silver Orchid Pty Ltd, a private company registered in NSW, Australia • Goldstake owns 20% of shares in Silver Orchid & has no obligation to contribute funds to Hill End • Goldstake has an opportunity to increase ownership of leases at Hill End to 50% • First Tiffany Resources Corp., a Canadian public company, owns 20% interest (carried to feasibility) in the leases • Clarence Fowler, the original lease vendor, has a 10% interest in the leases • Robert Cleaver (Goldstake President) & Charles McAlpine (Director/Secretary) own 40% interest in Silver Orchid • Agreement that all funds contributed by all or any of the shareholders will be reimbursed from gold production revenue

  36. Project Priorities(In Order of Importance Cont’d) 3) Prospects D and D “A” (NT, Aus.) • Define ore reserves on Prospect D and D “A”. • Prospect D “A” could be mined by open cut from surface on high grade oxidised copper nickel to expose the underlying massive sulphide ore body (Prospect D) • Cost to feasibility, Prospect D $3 million Australian • Cost to feasibility, Prospect D “A” $1 million Australian 4) Whitewood Creek • Reinstate joint venture with Barrick to carry out original terms of Homestake agreement to develop and mine tailings • Or, lease the Barrick properties & Goldstake would mine the tailings for a cost of less than $100 US per ounce • Cost to feasibility, $2 million US

  37. Appendix 1Share Structure • Issued shares 45, 860,660 • Outstanding options exercisable up to Dec 31 2004 – 3,390,000 • Float – approx. – 22,000,000
