PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
3
Evolving to a high-grade underground model utilizing
existing infrastructure (closed in 1988)
▪ Existing 300 m shaft and vent raises in place
▪ 6 levels established at depths of 164, 290, 416, 542, 668, 794,
and 920 feet below the shaft collar
▪ Total lateral development of 29,000 feet of drifting,
4,488 feet of crosscutting, and 2,352 feet of raising
Historical gold recoveries of 93.5-95.5%
1988 Citadel Resource* averaged 7.36g/t gold
(508,500 tonnes)
*This estimate at the Citadel Gold Mine is of historic resources and
the Company's geologic team has not yet completed sufficient work
to confirm a NI 43-101 resource. Therefore, the estimates cannot,
and should not be relied upon.
30,000 m in-fill drilling campaign and sampling of
historic core currently underway
RED PINE DISCOVERIES
44
Discovery of gold in previously un-sampled historic
core
▪ Grades up to 109 g/t over 0.86 m
Discovery of Minto Mine South Zone and Darwin-
Grace High-grade Zone
▪ 19.92 g/t gold over 3 m (SD-17-73)
▪ 57.31 g/t gold over 3.14 m (DG-17-56)
Discovery of multiple gold structures in the Wawa
Gold Corridor
Discovery of high-grade gold zones in the Jubilee
Shear Zone and its northern extension
▪ 15.7 g/t gold over 2.2 m (SD-17-95)
▪ 56.8 g/t gold over 1 m (SD-17-107)
▪ 5.28 g/t gold over 14.55 m (SD-17-173)

Contained ounces in the combined 3 Exploration Targets
ranging from 0.725 Moz to 3.0 Moz*
Part of a coherent system –the Wawa Gold Corridor is a large gold system
All zones remain un-tested along strike and down-dip
Additional discoveries expected based on historic operations
Wawa Gold Corridor
3 Exploration Targets
▪ Hangingwall-Footwall Exploration Targets
0.5 Mt to 3.5 Mt at 4 g/t to 9.5 g/t gold
▪ Surluga Exploration Target
3 Mt to 5 Mt at 4.9 g/t to 6.5 g/t gold
▪ Minto-Darwin Exploration Target
1.5 Mt to 3 Mt at 4.0 g/t to 10 g/t gold
*The Reader is cautioned that the potential tonnages and grades of the
Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature, that there has been
insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and that it is
uncertain if further exploration will result in any of the Exploration
Targets being delineated as a mineral resource.
