• Excellent infrastructure with roads and power crossing the property
• No known prior exploration
Cuale Project – Initial Exploration
• Initial sampling identified gold in rocks and soils
• Geological traverses identified a 3 x 3.5 km high sulphidation alteration zone
• Phase One program commenced in December followed by Phase Two in February-March 2018
Cuale Project – Phase One Exploration Results
• Initial sampling in 300m triangle of outcropping gold mineralization
• Trenching indicates significant upside;
• Trench #3: 0.61 g/t gold over 20 metres
• Trench #2: 7.4 g/t gold over 9.4 metres
• Trench #1: 0.53 g/t gold over 25.4 metres
Cuale Project – Phase Two Exploration Results
• Shallow subcrop at top of La Gloria zone has allowed for trenching to be effective
• Four trenches have been completed or extended in Phase Two

Cuale Project – Geology
• Geology from Phase Two is being compiled
• Alteration is hosted in lithic and crystal tuff and felsic intrusive units
• Alteration zones from an outboard and lower elevation low temperature propylitic zone inwards to a central core of high temperature clay and massive to vuggy saccharoidal quartz
• High temperature alteration mapped over 2200 metre x 1500 metre area
• Core ‘La Gloria’ zone contains strong gold

Saccharoidal quartz and hematite from sample in Trench 4
Cuale Project – Summary
• Very early stage of exploration• Consistent, high grade mineralization at surface with
IP giving confidence in depth potential• Classic high sulphidation textures, geochemistry and
alteration• La Gloria zone a small part of a larger alteration zone
that requires further exploration
Next steps include: • Complete additional trenching, geophysics, soil
survey, mapping; procure drill permits
