Best zone of drill results (yellow polygon) with significant rock chip assay values for Au from ALS Laboratory (Ireland)

Anagulu is a shear-hosted Gold-Copper-Silver system. Mineralisation is primarily hosted in a monzonite at the sheared contact (up to 200m wide) between mafic volcanic and felsic metasedimentary rocks.

This mineralisation could be related to a Cu-Au porphyry system at depth

Very significant coincident rock chip & soil geochemistry identified for Au & Cu over ~2km that is spatially related to the monzonite.

Phase 1 Drilling (Dec 2018 - Feb 2020):

o 30 RC holes & 2 Diamond holes

Phase 2 Drilling (Nov 2020 - Jan 2021):

o 7 Diamond holes.

Anagulu – Chargeability Survey Interpretation

14

The Au-Cu mineralisation at Anagulu is within disseminated sulphides (chalcopyrite) in a silica matrix.

A Chargeability-Resistivity survey was carried out by TMC Geophysics (Canada) & interpreted by Southern Geoscience Consultants (Australia), to test the sulphide-silica relationship to depth.

The survey was successful in identifying coincident Chargeability (red in diagram) and Resistivity anomalies down to the depth extent of the survey (~250m).

The Alpha focus is on the 2 anomalous chargeable features AT01 & AT02, as Chargeability is the key indicator of disseminated sulphides. Resistivity is also useful in identifying silica rich zones associated with the sulphides.

AT01 is an extensive >3km long chargeable zone extending to depth.

AT02 is a 2km long chargeable zone extending to depth and parallel to AT01.

The AT02 Chargeability anomaly is coincident with our Au-Cu soil and rock chip anomalies at surface (black & white polygons in diagram) and our best intercepts in drilling to date (yellow ellipsoid in diagram).

There is an increase in intensity and a convergence at depth of the AT01 & AT02 NE trending Chargeability anomalies. This indicates potential for increase of mineralisation at depth.

Kosolda – Soil Sampling & 3D Chargeability-Resistivity Survey

100m x 100m soil sampling assay results for Au: ● Shows Kosolda West is most

significant anomalous Area.● Could this be the ‘in-situ’ source to

extensive alluvial gold deposit in valley to the south?

The Chargeability-Resistivity survey returned good quality data.

Southern Geoscience Consultants generated 8 chargeable targets, 3 are highly chargeable and definite anomalies. The other 5 features are weakly chargeable.

Drilling is recommended on five of the features by Southern Geoscience.

Channel sampling of Kosolda West carried out in Oct-Nov 2019. Best Channel results for Au are 21.1 g/t, 4.92 g/t and 3.09 g/t Au.

Follow-up rock chip sampling of Kosolda West carried out in Dec 2019-Jan 2020. Best Au results returned were over ~500m on the northeastern section of Kosolda West. Best rock chip results for Au are 6.20 g/t, 6.19 g/t 3.81 g/t and 3.61 g/t Au.

Anagulu – Chargeability Survey Interpretation

333D view of drill hole traces on Chargeability response looking southwest – Anagulu

The best zone of drilling does not reach the core of the chargeability anomalies at depth. Up to the 15 November 2020, the deepest holes only just over 100m true vertical depth. Only a small part of the Chargeability anomaly AT02 has been tested to just over 100m vertical depth with drilling. The larger AT01 Chargeability anomaly has not been tested to depth with drilling. The most significant drill intercepts from the 30 RC holes and 2 Diamond holes to date are in holes AND001 and ANR015, 16, 17 and 29

and…..these holes are closest to the Chargeability anomaly AT02 at depth (see diagram below)

Regional Sampling & Analysis with Centre Log Ratio & Z Score

The regional soil sampling of Kerkasha (3,458 samples to cover Kerkasha on a 500m x 500m spacing) has delivered a reliable 25 element geochemical dataset from portable XRF analysis to complement the airborne geophysical and remote sensing datasets.

Centre Log Ratio (CLR) Assessing data using CLR transform data allows for new insights as CLR values account for variation in other elements in the sample, rather than just considering a single component in a compositionally-closed space.

Z Score NormalisationTwo z-score normalisations have been implemented where normalisation of the regolith type is completed first, followed by normalisation for ‘Machine Learnt’ rock type. On this basis, the different background concentrations of the different regolith types and different rock types are taken into account and resulting values are all comparable, irrespective of element, regolith type or rock type.

Statutory Rights of Action

Statutory Rights of ActionSecurities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with certain statutory rights of action for damages or rescission, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, where an offering memorandum or any amendment thereto contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact that is required to be stated or is necessary to make any statement contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made (a “Misrepresentation”). These rights, or notice with respect thereto, must be exercised or delivered, as the case may be, by purchasers within the time limits prescribed and are subject to the defences and limitations contained under the applicable securities legislation. The following summaries are subject to the express provisions of the securities legislation applicable in each of the provinces and territories of Canada and the regulations, rules and policy statements thereunder. Investors should refer to the securities legislation applicable in their province or territory along with the regulations, rules and policy statements thereunder for the complete text of these provisions or should consult with their legal advisor. The statutory rights of action described herein are in addition to and without derogation from any other right or remedy at law to the purchasers of securities of the AEL. Such provisions may contain limitations and statutory defences on which AEL may rely.

OntarioSection 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that every investor of securities who purchases a security offered by an offering memorandum shall have a statutory right of action for damages or rescission against the issuer and any selling security holder on whose behalf the distribution is made in the event that the offering memorandum contains a Misrepresentation. An investor who purchases securities offered by the offering memorandum during the period of distribution has, without regard to whether the investor relied upon the Misrepresentation, a right of action for damages or, alternatively, while still the owner of the securities, for rescission against the issuer and a selling security holder on whose behalf the distribution is made provided that: a) if the investor exercises its right of rescission, it shall cease to have a right of action for damages as against the issuer or any selling security holder; b) the issuer or any selling security holder will not be liable if they prove that the investor purchased the securities with knowledge of the Misrepresentation; c) in an action for damages, the issuer will not be liable for all or any portion of damages that it or any selling security holder proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the securities

as a result of the Misrepresentation relied upon; and d) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the securities were offered. Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than: a) in the case of an action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action; orb) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of:

i. 180 days after the date that the investor first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action; or ii. three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action.

This Presentation is also being delivered to Ontario investors in reliance on the exemption from the prospectus requirements contained under section 2.3 of NI 45-106 (the “accredited investor exemption”). The rights referred to in section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) do not apply in respect of an offering memorandum delivered to a prospective investor in connection with a distribution made in reliance on the accredited investor exemption if the prospective investor is: a) a Canadian financial institution or a Schedule III bank (each as defined in National Instrument 45-106) b) the Business Development Bank of Canada incorporated under the Business Development Bank of Canada Act (Canada); or c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), if the person owns all of the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by

directors of that subsidiary.

ManitobaIn the event that an offering memorandum, together with any amendment thereto delivered to purchasers of securities resident in Manitoba, contains a Misrepresentation and it is a Misrepresentation at the time of purchase, the purchaser shall be deemed to have relied upon the Misrepresentation and shall have, in addition to any other rights it may have at law, (a) a right of action for damages against (i) the issuer, (ii) every director of the issuer at the date of the offering memorandum (collectively, the “Directors”) and (iii) every person or corporation who signed the offering memorandum (collectively, the “Signatories”), or (b) a right of rescission against the issuer. If a Misrepresentation is contained in a record incorporated by reference in, or is deemed to be incorporated into the offering memorandum, the Misrepresentation is deemed to be contained in the offering memorandum. A purchaser of securities may elect to exercise a right of rescission against the issuer, in which case the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against the issuer, Directors or Signatories. All persons or companies referred to above that are found to be liable or accept liability are jointly and severally liable. A person or company who is found liable to pay a sum in damages may recover a contribution, in whole or in part, from a person who is jointly and severally liable to make the same payment in the same cause of action unless, in all the circumstances of the case, the court is satisfied that it would not be just and equitable.

d) with respect to any part of the offering memorandum not purporting to be made on an expert’s authority, or not purporting to be a copy of, or an extract from an Expert Opinion, unless the Director or Signatory: (i) did not conduct an investigation sufficient to provide reasonable grounds for a believe that there had been no Misrepresentation; or (ii) believed that there had been a Misrepresentation.

No person or company is liable in an action for rescission or damages if that person or company proves that the purchaser had knowledge of Misrepresentation. In an action for damages, the issuer, the Directors and Signatories will not be liable for all or any part of the damages that they prove do not represent the depreciation in value of the securities as a result of the Misrepresentation relied upon.

41

Page 42: Exciting New Gold-Copper Discoveries in Eritrea

Statutory Rights of Action (continued)

In addition, no person or company, other than the issuer, will be liable if the person or company proves that: a) the offering memorandum or any amendment to it was sent or delivered without the person’s or company’s knowledge or consent and that, on becoming aware of it being sent or delivered,

that person or company gave reasonable general notice that it was so sent or delivered; or b) with respect to any part of the offering memorandum or any amendment to it purporting to be made on the authority of an expert, or purporting to be a copy of, or an extract from, a report,

an opinion or a statement of an expert, that person or company had no reasonable grounds to believe and did not believe that there had been a Misrepresentation, the part of the offering memorandum or any amendment to it did not fairly represent the report, opinion or statement of the expert, or was not a fair copy of, or an extract from, the report, opinion or statement of the expert.

Not all defences upon which purchasers may rely are described herein. Please refer to the full text of the Saskatchewan Act for a complete listing. Similar rights of action for damages and rescission are provided in section 138.1 of the Saskatchewan Act in respect of a Misrepresentation in advertising and sales literature disseminated in connection with an offering of securities. Section 138.2 of the Saskatchewan Act also provides that where an individual makes a verbal statement to a prospective investor that contains a Misrepresentation relating to the securities purchased and the verbal statement is made either before or contemporaneously with the purchase of the securities, the investor is deemed to have relied on the Misrepresentation, if it was a Misrepresentation at the time of purchase, and has a right of action for damages against the individual who made the verbal statement. Section 141(1) of the Saskatchewan Act provides an investor with the right to void the purchase agreement and to recover all money and other consideration paid by the investor for the securities if the securities are sold in contravention of the Saskatchewan Act, the regulations to the Saskatchewan Act or a decision of the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan. Section 141(2) of the Saskatchewan Act also provides a right of action for rescission or damages to an investor of securities to whom an offering memorandum or any amendment to it was not sent or delivered prior to or at the same time as the investor enters into an agreement to purchase the securities, as required by Section 80.1 of the Saskatchewan Act. The rights of action for damages or rescission under the Saskatchewan Act are in addition to and do not derogate from any other right which an investor may have at law. Section 147 of the Saskatchewan Act provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce any of the foregoing rights more than:a) in the case of an action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action; orb) in the case of any other action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of:

I. one year after the plaintiff first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action; or II. six years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action.

The Saskatchewan Act also provides an investor who has received an amended offering memorandum delivered in accordance with subsection 80.1(3) of the Saskatchewan Act has a right to withdraw from the agreement to purchase the securities by delivering a notice to the person who or company that is selling the securities, indicating the investor’s intention not to be bound by the purchase agreement, provided such notice is delivered by the investor within two business days of receiving the amended offering memorandum.

New Brunswick Section 150 of the Securities Act (New Brunswick) provides that where an offering memorandum contains a Misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases securities shall be deemed to have relied on the Misrepresentation if it was a Misrepresentation at the time of purchase and: a) the purchaser has a right of action for damages against

I. the issuer, II. the selling security holder on whose behalf the distribution was made; III. every person who was a director of the issuer at the date of the offering memorandum; IV. every person who signed the offering memorandum, or

b) if the purchaser purchased the securities from a person referred to in subparagraph (a)(i) or (ii) above, the purchaser may elect to exercise a right of rescission against the person referred to in that subparagraph, in which case the purchaser shall have no right of action for damages against the person.

This statutory right of action is available to New Brunswick purchasers whether or not such purchaser relied on the Misrepresentation. However, there are various defences available to the issuer and the selling security holder(s). One such defence is that no person will be liable for a Misrepresentation if such person proves that the purchaser purchased the securities with knowledge of the Misrepresentation. Moreover, in an action for damages, the amount recoverable will not exceed the price at which the securities were offered under the offering memorandum and any defendant will not be liable for all or any part of the damages that the defendant proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the security as a result of the Misrepresentation. If the purchaser intends to rely on the rights described in (a) or (b) above, such purchaser must do so within strict time limitations. The purchaser must commence an action for rescission within 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action. The purchaser must commence its action for damages within the earlier of: a) one year after the purchaser first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action; or b) six years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action.
