CORPORATE PRESENTATION July 2012
Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This current presentation contains "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined in Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements in this presentation which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements and include any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future, including but not limited to, any mineralization, development or exploration of the La Buena Project, any geological similarities with the Penasquito deposit or other properties in the region, and the timing of any work program or exploration activities, and any results that may be obtained.
Actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. Such factors include, among others, the inherent uncertainties associated with mineral exploration and difficulties associated with obtaining financing on acceptable terms. We are not in control of metals prices and these could vary to make development uneconomic. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news release, and we assume no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the beliefs, plans, expectations and intentions contained in this press release are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions will prove to be accurate. Investors should consult all of the information set forth herein and should also refer to the risk factors disclosure outlined in our most recent annual report for our last fiscal year, our quarterly reports, and other periodic reports filed from time-to-time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There are at least 2 different areas on the La Buena property where artisanal mining occurred, done from surface cuts, shallow stopes and was mainly exploratory in nature
Kennecott staked a concession over the zone of metasediments that occurs in the northwest part of the concession in 1998, but the concession was abandoned shortly thereafter and declared open ground in November 2002
Golden Minerals (Minera de Las Cordilleras) staked much of the ground that comprises the La Buena project and received title to the concession in June 2007
Golden Minerals exploration effort consisted of limited reconnaissance rock-chip sampling
San Marco Resources (Patriot's exploration partner) acquired the Golden Minerals concessions in 2010

The La Buena property area consists of land within and surrounding a mineralization corridor that is host to significant known ore bodies & deposits, successful mining operations, and compelling exploration projects
Located just 5.6 miles north of Goldcorp’s Peñasquito Mine, 2.5 miles from Goldcorp’s NocheBuena resource area, and less than 1 mile from Dia Bras’ Las Coloradas exploration project area
The La Buena project’s Julia Zone hosts a large, drill ready coincident geophysical and geochemical anomaly with similarities in underlying geology to Peñasquito, a world-class gold, silver, lead and zinc deposit
Detailed geological mapping, ground magnetometer surveys, IP surveys and surface geochemistry has been completed, resulting in multiple drill targets
Permitting for drilling as well as surface rights contracts are in place
