OUR STRATEGY

Focus in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt on “brownfield” projects

Current Work on Chimo Mine*

Longer-dated growth opportunities: Benoist, Wilson and Fenton

PRIORITIZE QUALITY PROJECTS IN THE RIGHT JURISDICTION

Focus drilling on known Gold Zones

Phase I & II drilling completed: Drilled extension of 24 Zones of which 14 were partially mined

Phase III drilling to: Expand dimensions of 3 prioritized Zones

*ADD VALUE THROUGH EXPLORATION

REPEAT PROCESS (BENOIST, WILSON, FENTON)

Monitor closely evolving situation and choose best solution

CHIMO MINE: PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

100% ownership of project

Past production of 379,012 Oz Gold, close to existing

mining and milling operations in region

14 zones partially mined by three separate

producers, mine infrastructure consists of a three-

compartment shaft down to 965 meters and a

network of drifts on 19 levels: 80 to 870 meters

deep

Drilling since July 2017: 109 diamond drill holes for a

total of 49,251 m, Phase III drilling to: Expand

dimensions of 3 prioritized Zones

• Recent DDH Results on Zone 5M4 Include:

• 5.6 g/t Au over 8.5 m including 9.9 g/t Au over 3.0 m and 8.3 g/t Au over 2.5 m within in a mineralized envelope over 27.8 m grading 2.5 g/t Au
