CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:
Certain statements included in this presentation are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Canadian securities laws,
including the following statements regarding the properties in the Departamento de Norte de Santander and the Departamento de
Santander: the ability of CB Gold Inc. (the Company) to acquire concessions with potential resources; the potential to develop
resources and then further develop reserves; the anticipated economic potential of the concessions; the anticipated economic and
political developments in Colombia; the availability of capital to finance the Company to execute its Company Strategy.
Forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by the Company in light of its experience and
perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that the concessions
holder believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Many factors could cause the Companys results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward looking statements, including: discrepancies
between actual and estimated resources; exploration, development and operating risks; limited experience with development-stage
mining operations; dependence on early exploration stage concessions; political and foreign risks; uninsurable risks; competition;
production risks; regulatory restrictions, including environmental regulatory restrictions and liability; currency fluctuations; defective
title to mineral claims or property and dependence on key employees. Persons reviewing this presentation are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to inherent uncertainty therein. The Company disclaims any intention or
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as required by law.
The scientific and technical information on which this presentation has been based was approved by Christopher Lee, Principal
Geologist at Touchstone Geoscience Inc. and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Vetas
A
The Vetas district forms part of the Santander
Massif the uplifted and remobilized western
margin of the Precambrian Guyana Shield.
The Santander Massif is being exhumed as part of
the Maracaibo Block - a wedge of continental crust
that is being extruded northward in response to plate
convergence and subduction along the Caribbean
and Pacific margins.

Santander Massif
The Bucaramanga Fault Zone (BFZ) is a deep, crustal scale structure that forms the western boundary of the Santander
Massif. It has accommodated somewhere between 40 and 100 kilometres of left-lateral displacement, during the northward
extrusion of the Maracaibo Block. Exhumation of remobilized slivers of the Guiana Shield in the footwall of the BFZ has
brought the rocks of the Santander Massif to surface, where they form the host rocks to the Vetas gold veins.
Seismic studies indicate that the BFZ is currently tapping deep crustal and/or upper mantle-derived magmas and it has likely
done so since the Pliocene (2.5-5.0 million years ago). The BFZ is considered to be a 1st order control on the collection and
delivery of gold-bearing magmas and fluids to the Vetas district. Understanding its timing and kinematics is therefore a critical
component to the successful target delineation and predictability of the Vetas gold system.
Structural Geology
The Vetas region is underlain by a mixture of Precambrian
gneisses of the Santander Massif, along with deformed and
metamorphosed Paleozoic supracrustal and intrusive rocks.
The region is bounded to the west by the long-lived, crustal scale
Bucaramanga Fault zone, and by a less fundamental but
significant structure referred to as the Socota and/or Santander
Fault, which may be a secondary splay off the Bucaramanga Fault
at depth. The wedge formed between these two major faults is
further dissected by tertiary, NE-trending structures, which also
tend to define locally distinct lithological breaks.
The Bucaramanga-Santander fault zone was also the locus of
voluminous Triassic-Jurassic magmatism, attesting to its longlived, fundamental structural control in this region.
