Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources: These tables use
the terms "Measured", "Indicated" and "Inferred" Resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and
required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. "Inferred Mineral
Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and 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 other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume
that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. United States
investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally
mineable.

Mandate:
“To systematically explore our large land position
surrounding the world-class Eskay Creek goldsilver deposit in an environmentally and socially
responsible manner.
We will use our technical abilities to find the best
chance amongst our numerous mineralized zones
to make a new discovery in line with the giant ore
deposits that are known to occur in the Eskay
area”
-Mac Balkam, President & CEO
To Succeed We Need:
•People
new management & new technical team
with direct Eskay Creek experience
•Property
130,000 acres adjacent to Barrick’s Eskay
Creek mine and to the west of Seabridge
Gold’s KSM project and the Brucejack and
Snowfield projects of Pretium Resources
•Vision
flexible in that we are commodity (Au, Ag)
driven first, and model driven second. We
modify our model as new data are received.

sampling, mapping and drilling at SIB & Hexagon zone. Large alteration zone
identified at Hexagon and 2 m @ 8.09 g/t Au drilled at Southern Hexagon Zone.
