Erdene Resource Development Corp. Developing a New Gold District in Southwest Mongolia Forward Looking Statements Certain information regarding Erdene ("the Company") contained herein may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forwardlooking statements may include estimates, plans, expectations, opinions, forecasts, projections, guidance or other statements that are not statements of fact. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. The Company cautions that actual performance will be affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control, and that future events and results may vary substantially from what the Company currently foresees. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices, exploitation and exploration results, continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions. All Mineral Resources for Altan Nar reported in this presentation represent estimates as at 19th February, 2015. RungePincockMinarco (“RPM”) have considered the costs, recoveries and dilutions expected by comparing with other similar deposits in the region and adjusted these by considering the location of the Project and the deposit characteristics. Mineral Resource grades are reported in accordance with the CIM Standards. Mineral Resource Estimates for Altan Nar are reported on a dry in-situ basis. Gold equivalent (“AuEq”) values are used in an effort to express the combined value of gold, silver, lead and zinc as a percentage of gold, and are provided for illustrative purposes only. No allowances have been made for recovery losses that may occur should mining eventually result. Calculations use metal prices of US $1,200/oz gold, $18/oz silver, and $0.90/lb for lead and zinc. The Mineral Resource estimates for Altan Nar has been compiled under the supervision of Mr. Jeremy Clark who is a full-time employee of RPM and a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr. Clark has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that he has undertaken to qualify as a Qualified Person as defined in the CIM Standards of Disclosure. Please refer to the NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource report for Altan Nar, dated March 24, 2015, entitled “Altan Nar Gold Project, National Instrument 43-101 Mineral Resource Technical Report”, available on the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com, as well as the Company’s news release dated March 31, 2015, for further details on the Altan Nar mineral resource estimate. Reported drill hole intervals at Altan Nar represent drill intersection widths with most holes drilled at a 45 degree angle. For the Discovery Zone, the orientation of the mineralization is near vertical and therefore true width is interpreted to be approximately 70% of the reported intervals. For Union North the mineralized zone has an interpreted dip of 45 degrees therefore true width is close to reported drill hole intervals. All holes in Union North were drilled perpendicular to the trend of mineralization. All other technical/geologic information contained herein has been reviewed and approved by Michael MacDonald, P.Geo. (Nova Scotia), Director of Exploration for Erdene, who is the Qualified Person as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101. All samples have been assayed at SGS Laboratory in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. In addition to internal checks by SGS Laboratory, the Company incorporates a QA/QC sample protocol utilizing prepared standards, blanks and duplicates. The Company's forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. The information contained herein is stated as of the current date and subject to change after that date. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar values herein are in C$. 2 Major Porphyry-Epithermal Gold Terranes and Deposits Prolific Tian Shan Gold Belt Includes some of the largest economic gold accumulations in the world Second only to Witwatersrand in South Africa for known gold resources 3 Tian Shan Gold Belt 2014-15 Gold Production Highlights Polymetal buys Bakyrchik Gold Projects: US$618M Eldorado’s three China gold mines produced > 360,000 oz Au Bayan Airag: First gold production in Q2-2014 Turquoise Hill (Rio Tinto), 589,000 oz Au produced Centerra Gold advances 1.6 Moz Gatsuurt gold deposit Kinross’s Kupol, 37% increase in production to ~750,000 oz Au China Gold production increases 22% to 180,674 oz Au Polymetal, 130,000 oz Au in concentrate (Mayskoye) refined in China 4 Southern Mongolia Mining Activity & Regional Infrastructure Build-Up Major Infrastructure Development With Access to Equipment & Manufacturing 5 Southwest Epithermal Gold District Erdene Grassroots Discovery (100% Owned) 4 Million Hectare Exploration Program Deep Seated Regional Structures Altan Nar 200 km Discovery - Ancient Pit 20 km Extensive Geochemical Soil Anomaly Lead Gold 2km 2 km 6 Erdene Projects - Emerging Gold District 7 Altan Nar Gold Project – Highlights Discovered 2011 Initial 43-101 Resource in 1Q15 Near-Surface Portion for First 2 of 18 Targets High-Grade System 1Q15 Drilling Includes 19 m @ 7.8 g/t Gold Equiv.
