•Track record of gold discovery and production in Western Australia

•Focused on the same, but now in Nova Scotia

•Applying a new approach to a forgotten goldfield

•Assembled a Resource inventory of 1.2 million ounces – including Reserves of 454,000 ounces

•Project pipeline: Touquoy – next step: development

Cochrane Hill – next step: feasibility study

Exploration lands – next step: discovery
