Calculations for Three Mining Models

Introduction

An independent NI 43-101 positive Pre-Feasibility Report written January 2009, as amended June 2009, on the Nolan Creek Project contains all necessary information to fulfill NI 43-101 compliancy in all relevant categories discussed in this report. To view the report go to http://www.silverado.com/d/09Jan01_NI43-101_amended.pdf. The NI 43-101 report disclosed gold and antimony grades averaging 0.365 troy ounces (Tr Oz) per ton OPT gold (Au) and 28% antimony (Sb) using a BTW core. The BTW core, being the least expensive of core sizes, was successfully used to explore for the source of the placer or nugget gold for which this property is famous. However, the BTW core resulted in major core loss in the ore zones due to the expected breaking and grinding of the soft massive stibnite (antimony sulfide). Subsequently, with the ore zone being discovered and delineation begun, NQ core was used in follow-up drilling and accomplished much better recovery. Therefore higher grades in Au and Sb which were commensurate with higher results from underground bulk sampling (UBS) (hand-sampling) were achieved by the NQ drilling. The UBS returned assays for five combined samples averaging 0.72 OPT Au and 64.4% Sb. The five individual assay samples may be viewed in the tunnel map insert on page 19. Now that we are drilling in ore, subsequent drilling will be carried out with the largest practical core size for the job, being HQ core.

The drilling results in the NI 43-101 Report delineated a zone 3000 feet (') long (L) x 350' deep (D) x 0.9' wide (W). Subsequent drilling in late 2009 extended the zone to 3500' L x 500' D x 1.2' W, and the NQ core achieved high rates of recovery with gold and antimony grades increasing substantially. The drill also completed considerable in-fill work between existing holes.

As all 71 diamond core drill holes in both drill programs hit their targets, and as data from technical surveys is overlying the ore bodies and confirming their extension, management had the confidence to expand the zone to 4000' L x 600' D x 1.2' W. In addition, based on the increased recoveries and better grades of NQ core drilling, as well as high UBS grades, management has taken the liberty to increase grades from .365 to 0.5 OPT Au and from 28% to 40% Sb, which is still considerably less than the UBS grades averaging 0.72 OPT Au and 64.4% Sb.

Mining Model 1

Model 1 encompasses the Workman’s Bench and Pringle Bench areas. These areas are shown on pages 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24, and are tight to the drilling from Workman’s Bench to Pringle Bench or 4000' L x 600' D.

Gross Value Calculations

4000’ L × 600’ D × 1.2’ W ÷ 9 ft³/ton (T) = 320,000 T

Value of Contained Au = 320,000 T @ 0.5 OPT @ 90% Recovery @ $1300/Tr Oz of gold =

$187,200,000

320,000 T @ 40% Sb @ 85% recovery @ 2000 lb/T @ $4/lb (currently $12,000/T or $6/lb)

Value of Contained Sb = 320,000 T × 40% Sb × 85% recovery × 2000 lb × $4 =

$870,400,000

TOTAL GROSS VALUE of Contained Au & Sb in 320,000T =

$1,057,600,000 or $3,305/T of ore

Note: The usual deleterious penalty elements are present, but substantially below penalty grades or allowable limits. This will result in the mine Sb product receiving top dollar.

Gross Cost

The NI 43-101 report cost/T of $376 (p. 137 – 18.8.3, e.g.: $77/T mining cost = 20.5% of total/T cost) is in line with our estimated cost of approximately $300/T. (If 20.5% total cost = $77/T, then 100% cost = $376/T.) The NI 43-101 report provided for an operation producing 70 ton per day (TPD). A 200-500 TPD operation (this report) would significantly reduce per unit costs with our increased daily throughput (200-500 TPD). Therefore, we believe $300/T to contain adequate safety margins for any start-up costs with ample coverage for any unforeseen costs. Gross Cost is therefore 320,000 T × $300/T =

$96,000,000

- 2 -

Net Value Before Taxes

Profit before taxes (we have approximately $40,000,000 in tax losses carried forward) would therefore be: Total Gross Value of $1,057,600,000 – Gross Cost of $96,000,000 =

$961,600,000 or $3,005/T of ore

Mine Life

Life of 320,000 T @ 200T/D @ 300 D/Year (Yr) or 60,000 T/Yr =

5.33 Yr

NET VALUE PER YEAR BEFORE TAXES = $961,600,000 ÷ 5.33 Yr =

$180,400,000/Yr

Mining Model 2

Model 2 encompasses Workman’s Bench through Pringle Bench @ 4000', and continuing an additional 2000' to the Hillside area for at total of 6000'. Area shown on pages 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 is 6000' L and given rule of thumb for depth calculation (depth = 1/2 length), then Tonnage = 6000' x 3000' x 1.2' ÷ 9ft³/T = 2,400,000 T. (Note: Page 14 shows about four miles of explored strike with Model 1 and 2 areas in side view as well.)

Note: Use same gross and net value/T numbers as in Model 1: $3305/T (Gross) and $3005/T (Net).

Value of Contained Au & Sb

GROSS VALUE = 2,400,000 T @ $3,305/T =

$7,932,000,000

NET VALUE = 2,400,000 T @ $3,005 =

$7,212,000,000

- 3 -

Mine Life

LIFE of 2,400,000 T @ 500 TPD @ 300 DPY =

16 Years

NET VALUE PER YEAR BEFORE TAXES = $7,212,000,000 ÷ 16 Yrs =

$450,750,000/Yr

Mining Model 3

Model 3 contemplates the discovery of a “bonanza” or extremely rich gold ore zone encountered in the 2000' part of the mineralized structural zone between the Pringle Bench and Hillside areas shown on pages 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24.

It is significant to note that the placer mining areas immediately below the mineralized zone of the Hillside area yielded quartz-carbonate gold nuggets as well as the largest portion of the 23,000 ounces of placer gold taken by Silverado during the exploration phase. Gold bearing solutions flowing in and through these zones rapidly precipitate out their gold within a carbonate environment.

Another indicator of the presence of one or more “bonanza” ore bodies is the fact that gold grades are increasing to the NE from the Pringle Bench area, as does the presence of quartz-carbonate. Our last drilling and trenching was 2000' SW of Hillside area at the northeast extent of Pringle Bench and encountered assays as high as 5.72 OPT Au over 1' and 5.22 OPT Au over 16.4'; as well as mineralized widths of up to 60' containing visible gold (VG) and Sb in a quartz-carbonate stockwork. Given this data, one is able to make a case for a bonanza-type system from place to place along strike in this area. We are also encountering native gold immediately below, and attached to a flat lying horizon of quartz crystals and black vitreous crystalline hard quartz. High grade gold has been encountered immediately below this horizon.

Example of a “Bonanza” Deposit

Say an area of 20' L x 10' D x 2" W lies in the 2000' L x 1000' D area between Pringle Bench and Hillside area. Gold draining this area has been recovered in pieces up to 41.4 Tr Oz (see back cover) @ 6" L x 2.5" W x 1.5" thick. (See pages 25-29 for some pictures of gold nuggets draining Hillside Area.) For every total of 20' L x 10' D x 2" W, we would have 20' x 10' x 1/6' = 33.3 ft³ @ 3 ft³/ton = 11.1 tons of 95% pure gold (Nolan gold ranges from 93 to 97% fine or pure) = 10.5 tons of pure gold @ 2000 lbs. / ton = 21,000 lbs @ 2.2 lbs / kilogram (Kg) or 9,546 Kg at 1000 grams (g)/Kg = 9,546,000 g @ 31.1 g / Tr Oz of Au = 306,945 Tr Oz @ $1300 / Tr Oz = $399 million (say 400 million). This could be mined and processed in one week. We would likely double the price if the gold ore is as spectacular as that which was taken by Silverado below this area. In this case we could cut the ore out of the ground and sell as specimen. Our gold is most often associated with optical grade hexagonal quartz crystals in a matrix of pure white quartz-carbonate on this area of the property and as such make an excellent case for exceptionally beautiful specimens. Gold specimens of this calibre often sell for 5 to 10 times the value of their gold content (i.e.: museums and collectors).

Therefore, every 20' x 10' x 1/6' or 33.3 ft³ section of ground represents a possible + $400 million in value. In an area of 2000' x 1000' x 1/6' (Model 3 area @ 333,333 ft³), we have 10,010 opportunities of locating a + $400 million ore zone. We suspect such + $400 million ore zones exist in the area indicated and possibility elsewhere on the property. The largest single nugget of the 200,000 Tr Oz taken by the old-time miners (back to 1897) was from the Hammond River area of the property and weighed 136 Tr Oz.

Support Information for Data in Pages 1-7

Cost Factors

Projected costs of operations have been assembled from an NI 43-101 Report and from actual costs of the placer mining operations conducted by Silverado in prior years. Cost information and data may be found in the NI 43-101 compliant pre-feasibility report completed in 2009, and referenced on page 2 of this report under heading: “Gross Cost.”

Underground mining of frozen placer channels or old river bottoms is nearly the same in nature as is hard rock mining (drill, blast, muck) and all other associated costs are near identical or identical between our prior operations and contemplated operations. The remaining work to be completed is the construction of the mill, drilling and underground development.

Other Considerations

Dry Mine

Test holes conducted by a well drilling rig have yielded dry holes so far, indicating dry mining conditions which are favorable to mining.

Metallurgy

Test work yielded 85% antimony sulfide (stibnite) and 90% native gold recoveries using only gravity and water. Rod mills will be used to minimize sliming of the stibnite; Holman-Wilfley Tables will separate constituents; slime tables can separate stibnite slimes from coarse sand product and Falcon Concentrators will create a high grade stibnite slime product. Gold bars will be poured from the gold split off of the primary and secondary tables. The waste water appears to be near neutral (background water tests were completed over a one year period and ranged in Ph from 6.9 to 7.0 or neutral). A simple water neutralization plant will be used prior to the three existing settling ponds. Water is lost to evaporation. Thus, high recoveries of clean products may be realized without the use of hazardous chemicals while controlling Ph to a desirable range with relative ease. The environment will be well protected.

- 8 -

Tailings & 30% Mine Waste Rock

It is anticipated these materials will be disposed of in lined pits interspersed with limestone to maintain a neutral Ph in the near neutral material which originates in a high quartz-carbonate environment. We will be able to produce high grade products in a low cost, environmentally safe and friendly manner.

Quartz-Carbonate

We are fortunate to be mining in an environment where the rock bears a high percentage of quartz-carbonate. This rock naturally assists in neutralizing any acids which may occur from the decay of sulfides present. The addition of the limestone will help maintain the neutral environment and once a waste pit is fully utilized it will be covered with the prior removed and stock piled natural flora which has proven in the past to create acceptably reclaimed areas.

As we enter the higher quartz-carbonate enriched rocks, gold grades are rising. The carbonates precipitate gold from solution as can be seen by the wire gold growing from the white quartz-carbonate shown in the right portion of the top picture on page 29, with stibnite encountered in the same drill core of the A vein shown on the left side of the same picture.

Hydrological Considerations

The Workman’s Bench deposit occupies a near-horizontal terrace level at an elevation of 1,800 feet near the confluence of Smith Creek, a third order tributary, with Nolan Creek, a second order trunk stream. The Workman’s Bench mineralized system trends in a northeast direction toward Smith Creek Valley. The underground workings driven into the Workman’s Bench lode are dry. One hole, 08BT17, which is part of the Workman’s bench evaluation, intersected “live water”. The drill hole is situated at the northeastern edge of the drill pattern completed in Workman’s bench and does not affect the reserves assessed in the NI 43-101 Technical Report. The drill hole likely intersected water from Smith Creek—drilling did not advance further because it was assumed that Smith Creek constituted a northeasterly limit of Workman’s bench due to this condition. The hole was plugged off. The QP assumed from inspection of data that no other holes on Workman’s Bench contained water and all drilled dry. Management deems the single wet drill hole on the northeastern margin of the defined resource not to be a problem and the drill hole 08SH17 could be grouted off if necessary. Based on observations of the drill hole data and underground mine conditions, the QP also agrees with this assessment. The other hole that drilled wet was on Pringle Bench to the northeast (07SH04). The inferred mineral resources on Pringle Bench are not part of the pre-feasibility analysis presented in the NI 43-101 Technical Report. There is other evidence to corroborate the general dry nature of the bedrock subsurface. A number of large diameter well holes were drilled in the camp vicinity in order to find a good source of water. Three drill holes explored the Workman’s Bench area to depths of up to 400 feet, but failed to encounter water. Left limit benches on Nolan Creek; i.e., Swede Channel and Mary’s Bench, were found to be dry during underground drift mining of frozen placer gold deposits.

Examples of Stibnite-Gold Concentrate From Table Product

A split portion of the concentrate from the shaking table was panned to concentrate the gold even further. Several gold particles were observed ranging in size between 500 µm to about 2 mm. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the gold in the shaking table concentrate; note the coarse nature of the gold particles in the sample. In the QP’s judgment, the Hazen work on the bulk sample, coupled with his own mineralogical work derived from his underground sampling, provides enough information to initiate design and operations for recovery of gold and stibnite. The Company subsequently commissioned such a report and is now in possession of a complete and acceptable design flow report for a gravity and water gold/antimony recovery circuit.

Soil Geochemical Survey

Note: The anomalous (above background) arsenic and antimony soil sample analysis shown above and including the (Workman’s Bench) and (Pringle Bench) zones, represent  Model 1. They show the likelihood of being successful with the exploitation of the Model 1 Zone as well as the Model 2 Zone and beyond Pringle Bench to Model 3, the Hillside area. Gold is directly associated with arsenic and antimony, and the intense coincident arsenic-antimony anomaly at Hillside is indicative of a bonanza type deposit.

Gold is spotty on these trends and is relatively immobile in this “non-soil” environment. The ground cover is called “detrital” or glacial debris. It consists of boulders, cobbles, sand, silt and ice lenses; all of which have been mixed together after the passage of glaciers and all of which are frozen solid and near impassable to gold ion migration from source to surface. Arsenic, which is in our geological area, as it is in many locations worldwide in its form of arsenopyrite (an arsenic-iron-sulfur mineral) is often directly associated with gold mineralization. We call this a “pathfinder” mineral as it leads to gold when gold does not show on its own. The antimony here acts the same and both the arsenic (arsenopyrite) and antimony (stibnite or antimony sulfide) are extremely rich in this area as well as is the actual gold ore we have discovered and are continuing to discover in these areas of high arsenic and antimony concentrations.

This same type of gold and larger—up to 41.4 Tr Oz pieces—have been recovered in Silverado’s mining along and just below a four mile stretch of ground as shown on the maps on pages 14 and 19 of this report.

Photo 4: Gold in quartz.

Gold in water flows through shattered bull quartz and re-cements the quartz fragments as the gold precipitates out of solution.

Photo 5: 9 Tr Oz gold nugget.

Empty quartz-filled holes reveal the six sided tips of quartz crystals. As these are encountered on both sides of the nugget, it confirms that the precipitation process has caused gold to fill all openings available in the fissure when gold was being deposited. This process can form very high grade gold enriched zones.

- 26 -

Photo 6: Gold nugget showing tips of quartz crystals broken off in gold.

Most native gold in nature is 70% gold (18 carat (K)) with silver usually making up the majority of the balance. Nolan gold is 93-97% pure or 22.3 to 23.3 K of a possible 24 K. (24 K = 99.99% pure or fine gold.) The nuggets are prized as some of the world’s most pure gold colored natural occurring gold and sell for a premium over gold spot price.

Photo 7: Quartz/Gold nugget after hydrofluoric acid treatment.

In this picture, gold appears to be crystalline after hydrofluoric acid was applied to a sample of quartz covered gold. The acid dissolved the quartz in 24 hours leaving gold patterned after the dissolved quartz crystals. These nuggets sold for 100% premium to gold price.

The property is situated 8 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska; 9 miles northeast of our Ester Dome gold property; 6 miles southwest of the True North ore body of Kinross; and 10 miles due west of the Fort Knox 40,000 ton per day gold mine of Kinross.

The Company will soon disclose a more detailed statement by the Senior Geologist. The samples disclosed in the table were collected during December of 2010 with the exception of the Scrafford drill core samples which were splits collected from the original drill core of July 1992. All of the samples disclosed in the table were sampled from either bedrock (chip samples) or talus and are stated as such in the table. The samples from the talus are not bedrock and as such do not have the significance of the samples from bedrock. The samples listed as rubble crop represent weathered bedrock.

The bedrock and drill core samples are indicating structural zones of gold mineralization in settings similar to the True North and Pogo ore bodies, but the Eagle Creek gold mineralized zones are on surface. The no gold bearing chloritic schist rock unit (Sample EAG-15) and low gold samples EAG-16, - -17, -18 show a barren cap or trap rock and other samples show gold immediately below this cap rock.

The Company is very excited about these findings.

The gold assays were performed by ALS Chemex Inc. a certified laboratory.

In other matters, the Company will sign a 36,000 foot drill program for the Nolan Gold and Antimony Property using NTW equipment which will return a 2.23 inch core. The drill program is scheduled to begin at Nolan in mid-May when weather permits.

NEWS RELEASE

Mineral Assessment of Silverado’s Eagle Creek Property
Indicates Two Potential Bulk Mineable Gold Targets in
Addition to Three Gold Mineralized Vein-Faults.

Follow-up of Article Released on January 13, 2011.

Vancouver, BC, January 18, 2011 -- Silverado Gold Mines Ltd (OTCBB: SLGLF) (Frankfurt: SLGL) (the "Company" or "Silverado") is pleased to provide the following update:

During August of 2010 Silverado Gold Mines Ltd initiated a mineral assessment of its Eagle Creek property located 10 miles north of Fairbanks. The initial results of the mineral assessment (see December 6, 2010 news release: http://www.silverado.com/nr-2010-12-06/) had identified three gold-bearing mineralized structures, termed vein-faults, which have widths of 6 to 15 feet and strike lengths between 1,000 and 2,200 feet. The three gold-bearing vein-faults are referred to as Vein #1 (Scrafford Deposit), Vein #2 and Vein #2A. All three vein-faults yield higher gold grades (0.12 to 1.30 oz/ton Au) yet are lower tonnage deposits relative to the previous targets of exploration on the property which had been bulk minable Fort Knox-style intrusive hosted deposits located along the western extent of the property. The gold-bearing intrusive granodiorite sills at Eagle Creek have anomalous gold in the range of 0.024 to 0.073 ounces per ton gold.

Currently the evidence supports the potential for a bulk mineable gold deposit hosted in the non-igneous (metamorphic/meta-sediments) rocks along the eastern side of the Eagle Creek property. The east side of the property contains an abundance of shear zones and brittle deformation including complex quartz+sulfide+gold veining (see January 13, 2011 news release: http://www.silverado.com/nr-2011-01-13/). Anomalous soil and rock geochemistry in an area referred to as the East Gate Zone located at the head of Independence Creek (located within Eagle Creek claim block) was drilled into with a reverse circulation drill during July of 1992. The East Gate Zone drill hole (#83546) intercepted 60 continuous feet of 0.038 oz/t (1.3 g/t) gold which was hosted in non-igneous rocks consisting of graphitic schist, quartzite and quartz-rich felsic metavolcanic schist. The True North Gold Deposit, located six miles northeast of the Eagle Creek property, is also hosted in non-igneous metamorphic rocks and also contains an abundance of gold mineralized high angle and low angled faults typically with graphite-rich gouge with evidence of multiple stages of movement. Both the Eagle Creek property and the True North Deposit are adjacent to the district scale northeast trending Eldorado Fault which cuts across the southeast side of both properties. The gold-bearing hydrothermal fluid responsible for gold mineralization and alteration of the wallrock at both the Eagle Creek and True North properties is associated with granitic intrusive rock bodies at depth. The recently mined True North Gold Deposit produced over 1.2 million ounces of gold with an average grade of 0.042 (1.44g/t) to 0.072 oz/t (2.47 g/t) gold during production years.

According to Silverado’s Chief Geologist, Karl Sharp, many of the gold-bearing structures and the style of mineralization at the Eagle Creek property are similar to the True North Deposit. According to Sharp, the East Gate Zone contains complex gold-bearing mineralized structures, similar to the True North Mine, including high angle fault-associated quartz-gold-sulfide veins, quartz-gold-sulfide-breccia-veins and low angle gold-bearing sulfide+graphite fault gouge zones associated with thrust fault movement.

It is Silverado’s intention to relocate its diamond core drill rig from the Nolan Creek property to the Eagle Creek property during the spring of 2011 since the Nolan Creek Project will be using larger diamond core drill rigs capable of drilling to deeper depths at the Nolan property. Depending on funding, Silverado plans to test the high angle gold-bearing vein-faults such as Vein # 2 and Vein #2A as well as the Scrafford Deposit with a diamond core drill rig during the summer of 2011. In addition, the Company plans to excavate surface trenches for test sampling in the East Gate Zone to confirm the potential of a bulk mineable gold deposit at the head of Independence Creek. Currently, there are active placer mining operations in all of the creeks draining the Eagle Creek property. The abundance of placer mining in these areas further supports the case that there is potentially a large bulk minable deposit at the Eagle Creek property.
