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.

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

*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.
