Can you give me a brief history of the company?

Exeter, under its current Board and management emerged in 2003. It was formerly a resource company with a different name, managed by different people. The focus on South America was immediate, given the expertise of senior management in gold exploration in that part of the world. Over time our projects have extended geographically, such that the Company has multiple assets spanning different political jurisdictions in Argentina and Chile.

How much gold does the company have in the ground?

Exeter is a mineral exploration company that periodically reports its gold and silver resources by way of independent calculations prepared by experts in the field. Such calculations are generally in the form of a National Instrument 43-101 report that meets Canadian reporting standards but not those of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Industry Guide 7.

Exeter has only reported gold resources for its Don Sixto project. Although mineralization is indicated at other Exeter properties, none has a reportable resource at this stage. Under Canadian reporting standards the gold deposits at the Don Sixto Project are as follows:

"Mt" represents million tonnes, and "koz" represents thousand ounces.

Canadian and United States standards are substantially different, and our Don Sixto property has no probable or proven reserves under either Canadian or United States standards. The gold resources at Don Sixto are defined using the terms "measured," "indicated" and "inferred" in reference to "resources." We advise investors that while these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them. "Inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. In the United States, an issuer is not generally permitted to disclose mineralization unless such mineralization satisfies the definitional requirements of proven or probable mineral reserve in accordance with SEC Industry Guide 7, which defines mineral reserve as a part of a mineral deposit, which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the reserve determination is made. Accordingly, information contained in the Don Sixto resource statement containing descriptions of our mineral deposits in accordance with NI 43-101 may not be comparable to similar information made public by other U.S. companies under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations there under.

The ability to mine the Don Sixto gold-silver deposit will depend on a number of factors including: metal prices, availability of capital, technical considerations, environmental permits, taxation and royalties, and legislative restrictions on mining. At present Mendoza Province has a legislative ban on the use of cyanide in mining. Until the many issues are investigated and addressed there is no assurance that the Don Sixto resource can be developed.

Where are your operations located?

Exeter operates in Argentina and Chile. The head office is in Vancouver, Canada.

Given that the company has no mining operations at this stage, how is it financed?

Periodically Exeter raises funds by way of share placements facilitated through established brokerage firms. The pricing of such placements is negotiated between the company and the brokerage firm or, on occasion an institutional investor. The last such financing was in March 2008.

Can I buy shares directly from the company?

Shares cannot normally be purchased directly from the Company. Investors can buy shares through a recognized stock exchange.

Who owns the company?

Exeter is a public company owned by its shareholders. Institutional and corporate investors own approximately 40 percent of the issued shares, management and directors 25 percent and individuals 35 percent.
