No securities commission or similar regulatory authority has passed on the merits of any securities referred to in the presentation, nor has it passed on or reviewed the presentation. Cautionary note to united states investors - the information contained in the presentation uses terms that comply with reporting standards in Canada and certain estimates are made in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). The presentation uses the terms “other resources”, “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” resources. United states investors are advised that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, the sec does not recognize them. Under united states standards, mineralization may not be classified as “ore” or a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. United states investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. Further, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the “inferred resources” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically.

Under Canadian rules, estimates of “inferred resources” may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in limited cases. Disclosure of “contained ounces” is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization, mineral resources and mineral reserves contained in the presentation, may not be comparable to and disclosure requirements of the SEC. The presentation may contain “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the united states private securities litigation reform act of 1995 and “forward looking information” with the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation concerning, among other things, the size and the growth of the company’s mineral resources and the timing of further exploration and development of the company’s projects. There can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which these forward looking statements and information are based will occur. “Forward looking statements” and “forward looking information” are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those that are discussed in the company’s annual information form. Some of the factors which could affect future results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward looking statements and information contained herein include: market prices, exploitation and exploration successes, continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market, business or governmental conditions. Forward-looking statements and information are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of management at the date the statements are made and are subject to change without notice. The company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements or information if management believes, estimates forward or opinions or other circumstances should change. The company also cautions potential investors that mineral resources that are not material reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. information made public by united states companies subject to the reporting

QUARTZ MOUNTAIN CLAIM MAP

The Quartz Mountain target contains four distinct historical mining districts in the Nye and Mineral Counties, central Nevada, comprising of San Rafael, Lodi Hills, Downeyville and Ellsworth. These projects have never been tested by systematical modern exploration San Rafael: •  Previous owners (1981) blocked out “high grade” tonnage

in two stacked moderate dipping zones and conducted metallurgical testing

•  Exploration activities and development activities were stopped due to low metals prices in the early 1980’s

Lodi Hills: •  Drilling by previous owners tested structure coincident with

small artisanal, pocket mines and intercepted high-grade silver over a 1.5km area

•  Holes were shallow (approximately 30.5 meters) and focused on the extent of oxide cap

Downeyville: •  Distinct geological feature that has undergone extensive

historical work and small scale underground production focused on oxide material

Ellsworth: •  Several historical workings and small scale mining
