defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act and Rule 405 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the **Securities Act**). Equity
securities of the Corporation are, accordingly, exempt from Sections 14(a),
14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3
thereunder.

The Corporation prepares its consolidated financial statements
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(**IFRS**), as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this report are in U.S.
dollars. The exchange rate of Canadian dollars into United States dollars, on
December 30, 2012, based upon the Bank of Canada noon exchange rate, was
U.S.$1.00 = CDN$0.9949.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report on Form 40-F and the exhibits attached
hereto contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable
laws concerning the Corporations plans at its properties, plans related to its
business and other matters. These statements relate to analyses and other
information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts
not yet determinable and assumptions of management.

Statements concerning mineral reserves and resource estimates
may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that
they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the
property is developed, and in the case of mineral reserves or resources, such
statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral
deposit can be economically exploited. Any statements that express or involve
discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans,
projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but
not always, using words or phrases such as expects, anticipates, plans,
estimates or intends, or the negative or other variations of these words or
other comparable words or phrases or stating that certain actions, events or
results may, could, would, might or will be taken, occur or be
achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements also include managements expectations
relating to the following:

    for mercury at Jerritt Canyon and the timeline related thereto;
- the Corporations expectations relating to re-grading of the Snow Canyon
    East rock disposal area and the restoration of the Marlboro Canyon rock
    disposal area and the timelines related thereto;
- the Corporations expectations for putting the second tailings facility
    into operation and the timeline related thereto;

---

- the estimated net present value of the Corporations closure and
  reclamation obligations for the Jerritt Canyon operations at the end of the
  mine life;
- that the second tailings facility is anticipated to provide six years of
  storage at planned production rates;
- that additional approvals may be required for expanded exploration plans
  in the future;

  at the site and allow for mine production;
- that the review of the application after it is deemed to be adequate by
  the YESAB is expected to take between 12 and 18 months to process;
- that all Jerritt Canyon property claims will always be renewed every year
  by filing the necessary paperwork and claim fees with the U.S. Bureau of Land
  Management and the County;
- the Corporations estimated costs to maintain its property claims;

  and widening the access road to allow for on-highway haulage trucks to
  directly access the site and reduce re-handling of ore;
- that an exploration drift extending from the existing workings at West
  Mahala and Zone 1 to near the northeastern West Mahala inferred resource pod
  could serve as multiple platforms for additional exploration drilling and at
  some point could act as a ventilation route and possible secondary escapeway
  for that remote area of the mine;
- the Corporations goal of adding resources and reserves that are not
  included in the current life of mine plan;
- the Corporations plans for future drilling programs;
- the Corporations plans to continue the permitting process for the Ketza
  River property;
- the Corporations expectations regarding its ability to fund the
  completion of the Starvation Canyon mine;
- the Corporations expectation that once the development work at the
  Starvation Canyon mine is completed and the mine is in operations, the
  operations should generate sufficient funds to support the ongoing capital
  expenditures and the Corporation will be free cash flow positive;
- the Corporations plans for reducing its existing debt commitments and its
  expectations for increasing cash flow from the Jerritt Canyon operations;
- the Corporations expected mineral production from its two existing
  underground mines as well as the Starvation Canyon mine upon completion
  thereof;
- the Corporations plans to open a third portal at the SSX-Steer mine
  through which the Corporation can draw additional ores at comparable grades
  for at least another year;
- the Corporations expectation to enter into third party toll milling
  contracts to take delivery of third party ore or concentrates which will
  provide significant incremental cash flows as well as provide significant cost
  credits as these revenues are treated as offsets to the cost of production;

---

- that the completion of the second tailings facility and water storage
  reservoirs will extend the life of the mill, allow for the eventual
  reclamation of the original tailings facility, and bring the fluid management
  system in line with current standards;
- the Corporations development and drilling plans for the SSX-Steer mine;
- the Corporations expectations regarding the impact that certain
  accounting pronouncements will have on its consolidated financial statements;
- that the Corporations infrastructure to access specific ore blocks will
  provide probable future economic benefits to the Corporation; and
- that to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Corporation may
  attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or
  adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks
and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ from
those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including, without
limitation:

- precious metal price fluctuations;
- operating hazards and risks;
- risks and uncertainties relating to the exploration and development of
  mineral properties;
- uncertainty attributable to the calculation of reserves, resources and
  metal recoveries;
- uncertainty of title to mining properties;
- risks related to the issuance of debt;
- risks associated with dilution;
- risks related to environmental regulation and liability;
- risks related to the possibility that the Corporation is a passive foreign
  investment company; and
- uncertainty associated with enforcing civil liabilities of the Corporation
  and its directors and officers in Canada.

Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect
the Corporations forward-looking statements are described further in the
Corporations Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2012, a
copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, under the heading Risk Factors.
Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from
those described in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
made based on managements beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the
statements are made and the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update
forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other
circumstances should change, except as required by law. Investors are cautioned
against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES

The Corporation is permitted, under a multijurisdictional
disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this annual report on
Form 40-F in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are
different from those of the United States. The Corporation prepares its
financial statements, which are filed with this annual report on Form 40-F, in
accordance with IFRS, and they are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor
independence standards. The Corporations financial statements may not be
comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

The terms mineral reserve, proven mineral reserve and
probable mineral reserve used in the Corporations disclosure are Canadian
mining terms that are defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) under
the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and
Petroleum (the CIM) Best Practice Guidelines for the Estimation of
Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the CIM Standards), adopted by the CIM
Council on November 23, 2003. These definitions differ from the definitions in
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission)
Industry Guide 7 under the Securities Act. Under Industry Guide 7 standards,
mineralization may not be classified as a reserve unless the determination has
been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or
extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Under Industry Guide 7
standards, a final or bankable feasibility study is required to report
reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the
primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate
governmental authority.

---

The terms mineral resource, measured mineral resource,
indicated mineral resource and inferred mineral resource used in the
Corporations disclosure are Canadian mining terms that are defined in
accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines set out in the CIM Standards;
however, these terms are not defined terms under Industry Guide 7 and are
normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed
with the Commission. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all
of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.
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. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred
mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility
studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or
any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally
mineable. Disclosure of contained ounces in a resource is permitted disclosure
under Canadian regulations; however, the Commission normally only permits
issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute reserves by
Commission Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without
reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this annual report on
Form 40-F and the documents incorporated by reference herein containing
descriptions of the Corporations mineral deposits may not be comparable to
similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and
disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the
rules and regulations thereunder.

of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Corporations
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
of the Exchange Act) was carried out by the Corporations principal executive
officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, the
Corporations principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design
and operation of the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that

processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by
regulation, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the
Corporations principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting

Management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, and has
designed such internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

Management has used the Internal Control  Integrated Framework
to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting,
which is a recognized and suitable framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial
  reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
  evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls
  may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
  compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed
  the effectiveness of the Corporations internal control over financial
  reporting as of December 31, 2012. Based on its assessment, management has concluded
  that, as of December 31, 2012, the Corporation maintained effective internal
  control over financial reporting.

Managements annual report on internal control over financial
reporting is included with the Corporations consolidated annual financial
statements which are attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this annual report on Form 40-F
and incorporated by reference herein.

Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm

The Corporations independent registered public accounting
firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has issued an attestation report on
managements assessment of the Corporations internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2012. The report can be found in Deloitte &
Touche LLPs Report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants included in
the Corporations consolidated annual financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Corporations internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31,
2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Corporations internal control over financial reporting.

NOTICES PURSUANT TO REGULATION BTR

There were no notices required by Rule 104 of Regulation BTR
that the Corporation sent during the year ended December 31, 2012 concerning any
equity security subject to a blackout period under Rule 101 of Regulation
BTR.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND FINANCIAL EXPERT

The Board of Directors has a separately-designated standing
Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the
Exchange Act for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial
reporting processes of the Corporation and audits of the Corporations annual
financial statements. As of the date of this annual report on Form 40-F, the
members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Barry Goodfield, Jay Schnyder, and
Gerald Ruth (Chair).

The Corporation has determined that all members of the Audit
Committee are independent, as such term is defined under the NYSE MKT LLC
Company Guide. Further, the Corporation has determined that all members of the
Audit Committee are financially literate, meaning that they must be able to read
and understand financial statements, and that the Chairman of the Audit
Committee, Mr. Ruth, is an audit committee financial expert, as defined in
Form 40-F.

---

CODE OF ETHICS

The Corporation has adopted a written code of ethics (as that
term is defined in Form 40-F) for its directors and officers entitled Code of
Conduct and Conflict of Interest Guidelines for Directors and Officers (the
Code). The Code includes, among other things, written standards for the
Corporations principal executive officer, principal financial officer and
principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar
functions, which are required by the Commission for a code of ethics applicable
to such officers. A copy of the Code is posted on the Corporations website at
www.verisgold.com by selecting the Governance Policy heading within the
section entitled Corporate.

No substantive amendments to the Code were adopted during the
year ended December 31, 2012. No waiver or implicit waiver, as such terms
are defined in Form 40-F, was granted relating to any provision of the Code
during the year ended December 31, 2012.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as the Corporations
auditing firm since October 27, 2010. Aggregate fees billed to the Corporation

|Total Fees         | $ | 460,391     |  | $ | 430,000     | 

The nature of each category of fees is as follows:

Audit Fees:

Audit fees were paid for professional services rendered by the
auditor for the audit of the Corporations consolidated annual financial
statements, reviews of the Corporations condensed consolidated interim
financial statements and attestation services provided in connection with
statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

Audit-Related Fees:

Audit-related fees are defined as the aggregate fees billed for
assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of
the audit or review of the Corporations financial statements and are not
reported under the Audit Fees item above. This category comprises fees billed
for advisory services associated with the Corporations financial reporting.

Tax Fees:

Tax fees are defined as the aggregate fees billed for
professional services rendered by the Corporations external auditor for tax

All Other Fees:

There were no other fees paid with respect to 2011 and
2012.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:

All services to be performed by the Corporations auditor must
be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has
considered whether the provision of services other than audit services is
compatible with maintaining the auditors independence and has adopted a policy
governing the provision of these services. This policy requires the pre-approval
by the Audit Committee of all audit and non-audit services provided by the
external auditor, other than any de minimis non-audit services allowed by
applicable law or regulation.

---

Pre-approval from the Audit Committee can be sought for planned
engagements based on budgeted or committed fees. No further approval is required
to pay pre-approved fees. Additional pre-approval is required for any increase
in scope or in final fees.

Of the total aggregate fees paid by the Corporation to its
accountants during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, $nil, or 0% of the
