CORPORATE OVERVIEW

Trueclaim Exploration Inc. is a publicly listed TSX-Venture mining company (symbol TRM) engaged in the acquisition of, exploration for, and development and production of precious and base metals in strategically located areas, currently within Ontario and elsewhere in North America. The Company is defined by a highly experienced and cohesive management team relying on the latest in contemporary drilling and exploration technologies to cost-effectively discover and develop potential mine sites. 

In August 2009 the Company was successful in raising approximately $1.3 million to fund its initial property development plans. This was followed by a $1 million second round of funding in November, 2009. The Company will be actively pursuing additional funding in the Spring of 2010 as it gears up for the next round of exploration on its property holdings. 

The Company's immediate focus has been the Scadding Gold Mine, a former gold producer strategically located 50 km. northeast of Sudbury, Ontario, one of the largest mining centres in the world. In early 2009 the Company completed a comprehensive NI 43-101 on the property which recommend a two-phase drill program to explore and develop the site. In February, 2010 Phase I of this program was completed, the Company is preparing for a Spring start to Phase II of the program. 

In October 2009 the Company also negotiated a series of agreements with nearby property owners that added approximately 41,000 acres of adjacent lands to the Scadding footprint. The entire Scadding site offers an outstanding opportunity for resource expansion and mine development and the Company is actively looking forward to moving forward with the next stage of exploration in 2010.


BUSINESS STRATEGY

With gold prices expected to remain at or near their current $US1,000+ per ounce levels for the foreseeable future, Trueclaim's business strategy is to actively develop an inventory of properties such as the Scadding Gold Mine capable of near-tern production and positive cash flow. By generating cashflow as early as possible in its planning cycle, Trueclaim will be able to fund continued corporate growth through internal resources rather than external, and dilutive, equity financing.

Although the Company intends to follow this strategy, it is also opportunity driven and will focus its expenditures in areas that provide the greatest economic return to the Company and its shareholders. This may manifest itself in developing near term properties defined as having been past producers or have known high-grade resource potential. The Company will also actively examine opportunities to acquire properties with active ongoing mining operations. All of these paths are designed to rapidly and effectively achieve a critical mass in terms of production capacity and cashflow generation.

To facilitate its acquisition efforts, the Company entered into a consulting and assistance agreement with First Canadian Securities in September, 2009. First Canadian will provide Trueclaim with financial and capital markets advisory services in its efforts to expand its base of near-term production properties. Suitable properties are examined with a view to either creating joint ventures or evolving as outright acquisitions. The Company believes that with its experience and focus it can establish a critical mass of such properties that will create long-term, lasting value for its shareholders.

Trueclaim Exploration Inc. was listed for trading on February 23, 2009, and with approximately 45 million shares currently outstanding it remains ideally structured for its planned growth. The Company has one of the best teams in the Canadian mining community today, and also has a clear plan for moving forward. 

In addition, by applying modular mill concepts that keep production costs low, the Company has established a clear value proposition that will successfully differentiate it in the gold production sector. Each of these elements will play an important role in building a new world-class Canadian mining company.


DEVELOPMENT PROJECT - SCADDING GOLD, SUDBURY, ONTARIO

Scadding Gold is a 3,440 acre (1,108 ha) site located in Scadding Township near the Wanapitei - Ashigami Lakes district near Sudbury, Ontario. The site was initially mined by Northgate Exploration in the mid-80's and produced approximately 30,000 ounces (grading at approximately 7.2 g/tonne) from a known non-compliant resource (by current NI 43- 101 standards) of 165,000 ounces.

Mining operations by Northgate were folded up shortly afterwards due to low gold prices, and the site has remained dormant since. This has not diminished the potential of the existing resource nor the opportunity to dramatically increase the resource further. 

Of the 2,240 acres that made up the original site, less than 10% was ever developed within the former gold producing operations. Trueclaim has recently added approximately 41,000 additional acres to expand the development footprint. Historic gold, nickel, copper and PGM (platinum group metal) occurrences and geophysical anomalies occur on these claims. 

In May, 2009 the Company completed a comprehensive NI 43-101 report on the site. The report recommended a two-phase exploration program with a goal of increasing the resource to in excess of 1,000,000 ounces. This program is now fully underway with Phase I completed in early 2010.

On April 22, 2010, Trueclaim Exploration Inc. provided updates in its evaluation of the Scadding Gold Mine and surrounding area property. The Company has engaged the services of Terraquest Ltd. of Markham, Ontario to carry out an airborne survey of landholdings held by Trueclaim and others. The survey represents a total area of 24,000 ha in Scadding, Davis, Maclennan and Street Townships located approximately 50 km northwest of Sudbury.

On February 22, 2010, Trueclaim Exploration Inc. announced the results from its recent Phase I drill program at its Scadding Gold Property in Ontario. The Phase I program consisted of 30 NQ drill holes totaling 3,275 metres spread across all five zones (North, South, Central, East-West, and New Zones). John Carter, the President of Trueclaim, summarized the results by noting "this initial phase of drilling produced multiple high grade gold intercepts across significant lengths in holes throughout the five zones" (North, South, Central, East-West, and New). "As exploration programs go in Canada today we believe these results offer outstanding potential for Scadding" noted Mr. Carter, "particularly given that the areas explored only represent a small portion of the 41,000 acres held by the Company."

Some of the most significant intercepts occurred in the following eight holes: TRM-09-02, TRM-09-03, TRM-09-06, TRM-09-13, TRM-10-02, TRM-10-06, TRM-10-07, and TRM-10-10. For example, TRM-10-07 in the North zone produced an average value of 12.9 g/t (.40 oz/t) of gold across 19.29 metres (64 feet) of depth. The Company believes the results may lead to continuity of mineralization across all five zones and at depth. To date no drill holes greater than 100 metres deep have been done. This will be a key part of the Phase II program to assess the resource potential at greater depths and achieve the goal of defining a compliant resource base in excess of 500,000 ounces. Based on all of these elements the Company believes its shares represent an excellent opportunity to realize value as it proceeds with its business plans.
