GOLD EXPLORATION

DINGMAN PROJECT

The Dingman property is located on the boundary between Madoc and Marmora Townships in Hastings County, southeastern Ontario, approximately 175 km northeast of Toronto, Ontario, and 55 km north of Belleville, Ontario.

Gold mineralization on the Dingman property occurs as a hydrothermal quartz-carbonate vein gold system. This type of gold deposit consists of simple to complex quartz-carbonate vein systems associated with shear zones and folds in deformed and metamorphosed volcanic, sedimentary, and granitoid rocks. Gold occurs in veins or as disseminations in adjacent altered wall rocks.

FREMONT GOLD PROJECT

The California Mother Lode Gold Belt – one of the most prolific gold belts in the world – is estimated to have produced 50 million oz of gold throughout history. Its famed mineral deposits attracted interest and investments to the region since the Gold Rush of the 1840s.

The Fremont Project consists of 100% owned 3,351 acres of land within the Gold Belt. It contains a rich deposit at the Pine-Tree Josephine Zone, which extends 800m and is open at strike and at depth, as well as five additional mineralized deposit zones.

Mining District & Well-Development Infrastructure

3,351 acres in historic Mother Lode belt
- 100% ownership of private land package
- Property encompasses 4km out of a total 200km strike of the Mother Lode gold belt

Excellent infrastructure
- Paved highway access
- Electric substation on property
- 14 miles from town of Mariposa

Good accessibility to water
- Private well on-site; access to two others
- Nearby Merced River is an excellent source of water for potential mining operation

Significant Resource - Mineralization Open Along Strike

Resource Estimate (Oct. 2016)

Mineral Resources were estimated by a Qualified Person (QP) working for Roscoe Postle Associates
CIM definitions were followed for Mineral Resource classification
Mineral Resources are estimated at a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au
Mineral Resources are estimated using a gold price of US$1,400/oz
Mineral Resources are constrained by a Whittle pit shell

Mineral Resources estimated for Pine Tree-Josephine zone only
Current Mineral Resource covers ~800m of the 4km strike of the Mother Lode shear zone
162 drill holes used in the resource estimate totaling 25,970m
- 49 diamond drill holes totaling 9,630m
- 113 reverse circulation drill holes totaling 16,340m

- 86% gravity + flotation concentrate recoveries for sulphide replacement zone (~50% of tonnage)
  - Concentrate Grade: 58 g/t Au (~2.0 oz/t Au)

Phase III drill program (Q1 2016)
- ~41,000 ft (~12,500m) of drilling
- Three main objectives achieved:
  - Convert a significant portion of the historic resource into NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate
  - Test the down-dip extension of the main mineralized zone
  - Test the newly discovered near-surface mineralized zones

Second Resource - Queen Specimen (Expected Q2 2020)
