Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation and related documents may contain certain “forward-looking statements” including, but not limited
to, statements relating to interpretation of drilling results and potential mineralization, future exploration work at the
Sao Chico, Hope Butte and Quartz Mountain (Jessie Page) Project and the expected results of this work. Forward
looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties
which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements,
including, without limitation: risks related to fluctuations in gold prices; uncertainties related to raising sufficient
financing to fund the planned work in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; changes in planned work resulting
from weather, logistical, technical or other factors; the possibility that results of work will not fulfil expectations and
realize the perceived potential of the Sao Chico, Hope Butte and Quartz Mountain (Jessie Page) Project; uncertainties
involved in the interpretation of drilling results and other tests; the possibility that required permits may not be
obtained in a timely manner or at all; risk of accidents, equipment breakdowns or other unanticipated difficulties or
interruptions; the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses in the work program; the risk of
environmental contamination or damage resulting from the exploration operations at the Sao Chico, Hope Butte and
Quartz Mountain (Jessie Page) Project Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation and related
documents are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of management on the date the statements are made.
There can be no assurance that such statements will prove accurate. Actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated or projected. Kenai Resources Ltd. undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements if
management's beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change.

➤ Tapajos Gold Belt, new region since 1950s >30M ozs production
➤ Late 2010 option/refund Kenai deal on Sao Chico gold project, Tapajos region
➤ High grade low tonnage near production + large exploration potential (1800Ha)
➤ Eldorado increasing stake in region: May 2010 CAD$114M for Tocantinzinho
➤ Excellent gold opportunities identified in Brazil
Location of major deposits of the Tapajos Gold District
Ouro Roxo – Amerix TSX-V, Palito – Serabi (AIM) (Eldorado 30%), Tocantinzinho – Eldorado (TSX) Tapajos Gold Region - 100,000 km2
➤ High grades up to 345 g/t gold over 1 metre reported, channel samples
➤ 7 sub-parallel near-vertical veins, typically +/- 1 metre wide
➤ Exploration potential along strike and down dip
➤ Grades >1 g/t gold consistent over <70 m strike length, historic workings
➤ Sampling from shallow (<20M) underground drives = hard rock potential
➤ Reasonable target potential of 500,000 high grade contained ounces

Sao Chico pit and shaft
View south across the small pit and tailings dam (below), with village containing field office in foreground. Note the garimpeiro workings along strike from the pit, which would indicate a continuation along strike.
➤ Early stage exploration project, no historic drilling
➤ Extensive historical garimpeiro workings
➤ Existing known mineralisation is small with
previous mining over ~70 metres strike length
➤ Exploration work to include trenching, mapping,
scout drilling program, metallurgical testwork
➤ Program target to demonstrate 250,000 gold ozs

➤ Both Hope Butte and Quartz Mountain leachable and near surface; partly NI 43-101
➤ Hope Butte – at 130m depth 4.6m 1.04 opt; near surface 0.99g/t over 4.09m, 1.61g/t over 2.45m, 0.82g/t over 17.45m; earlier reserves estimate, 141,000 gold ozs, prior to NI 43-101 standards; early drilling to upgrade to NI 43-101

➤ KAI encouraged by advanced gold pre-development project opportunities in Brazil
➤ KAI Hope Butte and Quartz Mountain potential low grade, shallow, low strip ratio, leachable projects
➤ Approximately the same 1.5km by 1.5km footprints as Sleeper, Grassy Mountain and Midas-Ken Snyder deposits
➤ Peers in the region valued at US$14 per resource ounce
