M I N I N G C O M PA N Y OTCQB: GLLK INVESTOR INFORMATION BRIEF Q3 2016 Searching for opportunities in an undervalued resource market? Currently there are very few early gold exploration plays in world class areas with compelling investment as well as takeover potential. Ironically, for some junior stocks, the current challenges in the Gold market should be viewed as a significant investment opportunity. Gold has spiked over $1,300 for the first time in two years, and the stocks Gold Miners ETF (GDX) has risen 50% since the start of 2016. The big producers have not only cleaned up their balance sheets, but are now making moves to replace their lost foreign assets with assets in the safest jurisdictions in the world. But here’s the challenge: There just aren’t many high quality undeveloped assets left in Canada (or elsewhere for that matter). Where to look? Welcome to M I N I N G C O M PA N Y Elephant Country. For gold investors, area, property, and management are the major determinants in an investment decision, particularly in a junior company. For risk oriented investors, gold investing in ground floor opportunities can well provide superior returns. The seven claims totaling 2,846 acre Big Monty was 100% acquired by GLLK in a deal with Flex Mining Ltd. A November 2012 Airborne Survey noted a variety of features characteristic of gold bearing fields within the seven claims making up the property. Gold Lakes has recently acquired 100% interest in 31 claims in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt region. The new acquired land will be known as “The Ponderosa”. The Ponderosa property consists of 329 claim units encompassing over 13,000 acres and is located in the townships of Frecheville, Stoughton and the Mistaken Islands of Ontario Canada. As the newest opportunity in the world class Abitibi Greenstone area of Northern Ontario (often referred to in the mining industry as Elephant Country due to the large GOLD LAKES OTCQB: GLLK and high grade mines found there), Gold Lake’s position and potential are extremely compelling. Its recently acquired flagship properties, including the 2,846 acre Big Monty Property, is located approximately 70 kilometers north of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, and 68 kilometers east of Timmins, Ontario. Ponderosa, the newest acquisition brings Gold Lakes total land holdings in the area to over 15,000 acres. The company plans to conduct an airborne survey over the Ponderosa claims in the coming months. This airborne survey will tie in with the air borne survey that was previously completed on the Big Monty, to identify specific drill targets. Gold Lakes Corporation strategy is to identify and acquire prospective properties in well-mineralized mining areas and advancing these properties toward making new discoveries within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. For slightly over a century, the legendary AbitibiGreenstone belt has produced hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of mostly gold, silver, copper and zinc. − Page № 2 − INVESTOR INFORMATION BRIEF The Area The Abitibi Greenstone Belt is an established gold mining district (comparable to Nevada’s Carlin trend) having produced over 100 mines and 180 million ounces of gold and more than 50 million ounces from the Cadillac Larder Fault Zone, from operations that include Lake Shore Gold’s Timmins West, the Kirkland Lake Gold complex and Goldcorp’s The Big Monty lies within the prolific Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone “PDFZ” (110 Million ounces of Au produced to date and adjacent to the North and Northwest borders by St. Andrews Goldfield’s Holt Property (SAS: TSXV), which was sold in early 2016 for $178 million CAD. Big producers have been, and continue to aggressively pursue assets in Canada. The Abitibi Greenstone area is also known for robust acquisition and takeover activity. In 2015, Oban Mining (OBM: TSX), with a market cap of north of $60 million, acquired five juniors in the region and has taken out several more to date. Oban is focused on a clear strategy of consolidation in the Abitibi and plans to become an intermediate producer within the near future. Its mandate is to drill test targets rapidly and advance or divest the rest. Oban is well financed with approximately $73 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Oban Mining Corporation in a recent announcement generated 41.8 g/t Au Over 2.5 Metres at Windfall Lake gold project located in Urban Barry Township, Québec. Industry acquisitions 2015 to date: • February 2015 Centerra Gold and Premier Gold Mines became 50/50 partners on Premier’s Trans-Canada Property in Ontario. • November 2015 Kirkland Lake Gold Inc. (TSX: KGI) entered into a binding definitive agreement valued at $178 million to acquire all the outstanding shares of St Andrew Goldfields Ltd.

(TSX: KGI) closed a $178 million agreement to acquire all the outstanding shares of St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (TSX: SAS) (OTCQX: STADF) The area is noteworthy for impressive grades: • March 2015 Goldcorp acquired Probe Mines for their deposit in Ontario. • Bonterra Resources north of Val D’or Quebec, Gladiator Project in a recent announcement generated a high-grade intersection of 137.4 g/t over 2.5 m with coarse visible gold having been observed in the core. • April 2015 Alamos Gold acquired Aurico Gold through a merger to gain exposure to its Young-Davidson Mine in Ontario. • The Hislop mine reported 5.2 g/t of gold in ore.

GOLD LAKES OTCQB: GLLK Additionally, the US$ has strengthened dramatically against the CAD$. Gold Lakes’ operating costs will be denominated in Canadian dollars, allowing the Company to realize an extra 30% plus work done for every US$ dollar spent. − Page № 3 − INVESTOR INFORMATION BRIEF The Plan GLLK management intends to prove that the Holt property gold system continues onto its claims. The Company plans a three hole, 300 metre drill program once financing is secured. The Porcupine-Destor fault system is believed to run generally east-west through the Big Monty property with numerous northeastsouthwest cross faults providing several possible intersecting structural features which could possibly host economic mineralization. Under the direction of industry veteran Ed Morrow, GLLK’s VP of Mining Exploration, the Company plans to be on the property as soon as possible to ascertain the areas and targets to commence its aggressive drilling program. Initially, the Company plans to do extensive groundwork and rock sampling once the current geological report is interpreted.Eventually, an NI-43-101 report will be commissioned to delineate the indicated and reserve figures. The Company fully intends to explore financing and JV opportunities with potential partners within the Abitibi Greenstone and without.
