OVERVIEW 

We are a gold exploration and development team with a track record of converting
modest capital investments into exceptional shareholder returns. We have an
entrepreneurially driven board and management team with skill sets in capital
markets, M&A, audit and compliance, and, most importantly, resource discovery
and development. We have strengthened our treasury position to provide us with
the necessary resources to identify, acquire and unlock value in new projects
globally. 


HIGHLIGHTS

Leadership and Management



--  During the quarter, we installed new leadership to build and grow the
    business. We appointed Mark O'Dea as Chairman and Chief Executive
    Officer, and Donald McInnes as Vice-Chairman. Mr O'Dea founded and
    developed Fronteer Gold from a start-up in 2001 to an advanced stage
    gold development company which was acquired by Newmont Mining Corp. in
    2011 for $2.3 billion. Mr. McInnes is a natural resource entrepreneur,
    who most recently founded and led Plutonic Power in expending over $900
    million to build the largest run-of-river hydro project in Canada and
    B.C.'s largest wind farm. 
--  We added strong mining, financial and capital markets experience to our
    board with the election of Nolan Watson, Lenard Boggio, and Scott
    Lamacraft, as directors. 
--  We enhanced our management team and financial oversight with the
    appointment of Sean Tetzlaff as CFO. Mr. Tetzlaff was the former CFO and
    VP Finance of Fronteer Gold. 
--  Subsequent to the quarter end, we brought additional technical strength
    to our Board with the appointment of Charlie Ronkos, Senior Vice
    President of Exploration at Goldcorp Inc.  
--  We changed the company name to Blue Gold Mining Inc. (the company was
    initially incorporated as Drexel Capital Corp. under the Business
    Corporations Act - British Columbia on June 18, 2009, and subsequently
    changed its name to Drexel Resources Ltd. on April 18, 2011). 



Financing and Corporate Activities



--  Received gross proceeds of $2.4 million on July 7, 2011 with the closing
    of a $2.4 million private placement announced June 23, 2011. 
--  Subsequent to the quarter end, received gross proceeds of $24.6 million
    with the closing of a $20.0 million best efforts offering and
    overalottment option for an additional $4.6 million. The offering
    included the participation of Goldcorp, one of the fastest-growing,
    lowest-cost senior gold producers. Goldcorp purchased 5 million units
    representing approximately 8.6% of the issued and outstanding common
    shares of the Company. 



Exploration Activities



--  We commenced a 500-line-kilometre airborne geophysical (magnetometer and
    electromagnetic) survey on the Titan gold-copper property, located in
    northwestern British Columbia. We intend to evaluate the results of the
    survey, complete follow-up geological work to define specific target
    areas for drilling. 



We have assembled a proven management team and board of directors and have
strengthened our treasury, providing us with the necessary resources to
identify, acquire and advance new projects globally. With the Company's cash
balance of approximately $25 million, we remain focused on identifying projects
that will allow us to create value for our shareholders.
