Yellowknife - One of Six High Grade Gold Camps in Canada

More Than

300M* Oz Gold have been mined from Archean Gold deposits in Canada, with the

vast majority from High Grade Gold Camps

Yellowknife is the most northerly and least explored of these camps

* Gold Ounces in Camps include known historical production, reserves and drill indicated resources from public

records. Totals should be considered approximate with an error range sufficient for comparison purposes. Other

large Archean gold areas include Detour/Sunday Lake; Rice Lake; Chibougamau; Meliadine; and Meadowbank

completed 1945-1990’s with high grade Au

intersections on multiple shears

• >250 drill hole collar

locations found

• >150 drill collars surveyed – we

have exact locations of historical

FOCUS ON THE

‘CORE GOLD AREA’

• Exploration in 2013 and 2014 has

defined a 5km x 3km “Core Area”

of gold mineralization

• Core Area contains the Barney

Shear (extension of Con & Giant);

the Crestaurum Deposit; Shear 20

as well as several other high grade

veins and shear zones that have

assayed as high as 549, 712 and

878 g/t Au

• Collectively, the shears and veins

could be indicative of gold bearing

vein sets common to large

mineralized systems

• 2015 Exploration Drilling will be

concentrated in this area
