ADAMERA MINERALS CORP

COOKE MOUNTAIN PROJECT: EXPLORING FOR HIGH-GRADE GOLD DEPOSITS IN NORTHEASTERN WASHINGTON STATE. A MODERN APPROACH TO DISCOVERING NEW DEPOSITS IN AN OLD MINING DISTRICT

Mark Kolebaba

Recent drilling intersects 9.6 g/t over 11 metres using high resolution data from new geophysical and geochemical techniques integrated with fresh geological concepts.

Historically, Washington State has been a significant gold producer. The Republic area alone has produced about 6 million ounces of high-grade gold in recent history. The area around Republic Washington is within the Boundary Gold District which straddles the border between British Columbia and Washington State and collectively produced an estimated 10 to 15 million ounces of gold. While the Republic area geographically represents a small portion of the Boundary District it contains a high proportion of the ounces of gold mined in the district.

Adamera Mineral’s Corp has focused on three areas, one of which is the Cooke Mountain Projects.

During the 1990s Echo Bay produced nearly 1 million oz of high-grade gold from several deposits in the Cooke Mountain area including the Lamefoot, Overlook and Key mines. Gold in these deposits occurs in massive magnetite /sulfide zones at an unconformable limestone-clastic contact. Echo Bay focused on the presence of magnetite and relied on airborne magnetics for targeting. Magnetics does detect this style of mineralization, however, due to the abundance of magnetic anomalies not related to mineralization, there are difficulties in targeting with this method.

Adamera favors a multidisciplinary approach to exploration. The Cook Mountain mineralization is composed of massive magnetite and sulfides. While the magnetite represents a good target for magnetics, the high sulfide content represents a strong target for electromagnetic (EM) methods. Geologically, the mineralized zones occur at a Permian Triassic unconformity. In late 2016, Adamera flew a detailed VTEM EM and magnetic survey over parts of the Cooke Mountain project area with exposed Permian and Triassic rocks. Known deposits in the area were readily detected by the VTEM survey and numerous other anomalies were identified.

The Cooke Mountain deposits are blind as they are typically covered by overlying stratigraphy and flat lying late felsic sills, which introduces challenges for soil geochemical methods. Recognizing structure as an important control on mineralization provided Adamera with an opportunity to conduct detailed geochemical soil surveys to detect gold and pathfinders that may have migrated up structures into shallow overburden cover.

A combination of favorable structures, with gold and or gold pathfinders in overlying soils, coincident with EM conductors and magnetic anomalies have become high priority targets for drilling. Geophysics, geochemistry and new geological concepts have provided Adamera with new means of targeting high grade gold mineralization in the Republic area.

At Overlook, an EM conductor, much larger than the known mine footprint was drill tested. The drill hole intersected 9.6 g/t Au over 10.9 m at an elevation lower than and to the northwest of the main mine workings. In

addition, further east of Overlook, a drill hole intersected shallow silica altered zones with gold mineralization ranging from 15g/t to 6.5 g/t Au. This new target mineralization is non-magnetic and non-conductive and may require other methods such as IP.

ALEXANDRIA MINERALS CORPORATION

FLAGSHIP GOLD-COPPER DEPOSIT: ORENADA ZONE 4 - VAL D’OR, QC Eric Owens, President and CEO; Mary Vorvis, Vice President Corporate Development and Investor Relations, Alexandria Minerals Corporation

Alexandria Minerals’ Orenada Gold Project is located at the western end of the Company’s 35 km-long Cadillac Break property package in the southeastern Abitibi Belt, roughly 10 km east of Val d’Or, Québec, one of the world’s premier gold mining districts.

At Orenada Zones 4 and 2, gold mineralization is principally hosted in deformed metasedimentary schists and associated with deformed quartz-arsenopyrite-carbonate-tourmaline-veinlets. Alexandria has recently identified a suite of stacked, high-grade veins, within the bulk tonnage deposit, and is in the process of evaluating the distribution and concentration of these veins in order to better determine their value to the size and grade of the deposit. The south dipping, high-grade gold veins, together with their gold-bearing alteration envelopes surrounding the veins, have so far been identified to a vertical depth of about 300m and for a length of 700m. Collectively, they are anticipated to have an important effect on the grade and size of the resources at Zone 4 and Zone 2.

History of Orenada Zone 4 Project:

The Orenada property was acquired in 2006. The most recent 43-101 compliant Resource Estimate on this deposit was completed in 2009 (See Press Release, September 16, 2009) by Geologica Group Conseil Inc., using a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off grade:

Measured: 188,844 oz Au

Indicated: 196,097 oz Au

Inferred: 176,000 oz Au

Current Status:

In 2017, approximately 45,000 m of drilling in more than 170 holes was completed. Drilling focused on a depth of 0-250m. Additionally, as a result of the acquisition of new data in 2015, Company geologists have been re-interpreting the geology of the deposit. With the added information provided by the 2016-2017 drill programs, the Company anticipates a new, updated resource estimate compliant with National Instrument 43-101 in January 2018.

Recently reported drill hole intersections help increase the confidence of continuity and controls of gold mineralization in the upper 200m. Highlights include: • Diamond Drill Hole (“DDH”) OAX-17-153 intersected 4.62 g/t gold over 30.05 m between 110 m and 140 m

depth, adding to the continuity of robust gold mineralization in the subsurface; • DDH OAX-17-158 intersected 3.41 g/t gold over 25.60 m, between 69 and 95 m depth, confirms the presence

of gold at shallower depths than the previous 2009 resources; • DDH OAX-17-159 intersected 2.06 g/t gold over 77.35 m, between 143 and 221 m depth, again confirming

continuity of gold mineralization at these levels;


7

• Assay results to-date have identified a volume of broad, relatively continuous, gold mineralization that is so far 500 m long, 250 m deep and up to 50 m wide near the open pit, within the larger 1.1 km gold vein trend at Zone 4, still open along strike and at depth.

• Further details are set out in the following link to the addendum to the Company’s Oct 26 press release: http://bit.ly/2i5mEWZ

Nearby Significant Deposits:

The Orenada Project is contiguous with the southern boundary of Eldorado Gold’s Sigma-Lamaque project to the north, which in addition to hosting the past-producing Sigma-Lamaque mines also hosts Eldorado’s Triangle gold deposit.

ATAC RESOURCES LTD.

CARLIN-TYPE GOLD MINERALIZATION AT THE RACKLA GOLD PROPERTY, YUKON

Julia Lane, Vice President, Exploration, ATAC Resources Limited; Adam Coulter, Project Geologist, Archer, Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited.

The Rackla Gold Property encompasses over 1700 km2 in east-central Yukon and is comprised of three Project areas: the 100% owned Osiris Project, which hosts the Conrad, Osiris, Sunrise and Ibis Carlin-type gold zones; the 100% owned Rau Project, which hosts the Tiger Gold Deposit and nine other carbonate replacement gold prospects; and, the Orion Project, an early stage Carlin-type exploration area subject to an earn-in agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation.

The 185-km-long property covers Neoproterozoic to Mississippian marine clastics and carbonates deposited along a fault-controlled paleo-continental margin. All discoveries made on the property to date are the result of grassroots targeting of stream sediment anomalies in a structural and stratigraphic setting bearing strong resemblances to northeastern Nevada. This work started on the property in 2006 at Rau and resulted in the discovery of carbonate replacement style gold mineralization at Tiger. Drilling completed between 2008-2010 delineated an initial resource estimate for the Tiger Deposit leading to a positive PEA.

Exploration shifted on the property 100 km to the east when in 2010 ATAC made the discovery of Carlin-type gold mineralization at Osiris. Since then, Carlin-type gold mineralization has been discovered at the Osiris, Conrad, Sunrise and Ibis zones, all located on ATAC’s 100% owned Osiris Project.

Gold mineralization on the Osiris Project occurs within many lithologies but is best developed at contacts, within fold hinges and at structural intercepts in silty limestone sequences where alteration is characterized by decalcification and silicification accompanied by peripheral calcite flooding. Mineralization within non-calcareous rocks is typically associated with fault breccias and/or intense fracture development. Significant late stage realgar and orpiment occur proximally to gold.

The most advanced target within the Osiris Project is the Conrad Zone. Drilling between 2010-2015 was focused on targeting the stratigraphic folded contact between limestone and siltstone. In 2017, this focus shifted to fault corridors where high grade mineralization was noted near the 350 and 650 fault corridors. Drilling of these faults in 2017 such as hole OS-17-238, returning 12.50 m of 20.78 g/t Au, demonstrate that these faults play a role in the mineralizing system at Conrad.

Mineralization at Sunrise occurs in a shear zone paralleling the Sunrise fault. Drilling in 2017 showed a bifurcation of the planar mineralized zone and an increase in grade with depth. This was demonstrated in OS-17-249 returning 10.42 m of 7.97 g/t Au and 15.24 m of 13.52 g/t Au.

Mineralization at Osiris is most strongly developed along stratigraphic boundaries where mineralizing fluid flow has been focused. This focused fluid-flow was exhibited in OS-17-244 where 12.19 m of 9.60 g/t Au was intersected at the stratigraphic contact between limestone and mudstone.

AURYN RESOURCES INC.

HOMESTAKE RIDGE - EXPANDING AU/AG RESOURCES IN BC’S GOLDEN TRIANGLE

Michael Henrichsen, Chief Operating Officer, Auryn Resources Inc.

Auryn Resources Inc. (“Auryn”) or (the “Company”) is a Canadian based explorer that controls the prospective Homestake Ridge land package in Northern British Columbia’s prolific ‘Golden Triangle’. Auryn’s 100% owned Homestake Ridge property is located within Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic strata of the Stikine Terrane in the Intermontane Belt of the BC Cordillera. The project covers approximately 7,500 hectares within the metallogenic Iskut-Stewart-Kitsault complex, and hosts a significant Au-Ag resource in Hazelton Group volcanics as well as numerous other precious metal epithermal occurrences. To date more than 275 holes, totaling more than 80,000 meters, have been completed on the property and multiple exploration targets remain to be tested.

The Homestake Main and Homestake Silver deposits contain a high grade resource of 0.624 Mt grading 6.25 g/t Au and 47.9g/t Ag indicated (0.125 Moz Au and 1.0 Moz Ag) and 7.245 Mt grading 4.0 g/t Au and 90.9 g/t Ag inferred (0.932 Moz Au and 21.2 Moz Ag) (Using a 2.0g/t AuEq cutoff; refer to 43-101 report dated September 29, 2017 as filed under Auryn Resource’s Sedar profile at www.sedar.com). Mineralization is hosted in silica to silica-carbonate-chlorite altered lenses and hydrothermal breccias.

Since acquiring the property in 2017, Auryn has embarked on remodeling of the structural architecture on the deposit, identifying graben and half graben fluid pathways, as well as completing a 3000 sample soil survey over the most prospective areas of the property. 37 holes totaling 14,850m were drilled in 2017 on identified mineralized corridors, most notably 25 holes totaling 8,630m along the South Reef Trend. At South Reef, high grade Au mineralization is associated with silica-chlorite-pyrite alteration and hydrothermal breccias. Auryn’s approach is to expand mineralized zones which show strong similarities with the Homestake Main and Homestake Silver deposits through efficient drilling, and to follow up on significant gold in soil anomalies along trend. Auryn believes that a comprehensive technically focused approach through innovative exploration techniques will lead to significant expansion of resources at the Homestake Ridge property.

BANYAN GOLD CORP

THE HYLAND GOLD PROJECT, YUKON

Lief Bjornson

Banyan Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration company focused on the advancement of two Yukon gold projects, the advanced stage Hyland Gold Project and the Aurex-McQuesten Gold Project.

The Hyland Gold Project is located in the southeast Yukon 74 kilometres northeast of the town of Watson Lake, Yukon. The Project consists of 927 active Yukon registered quartz mineral claims totaling 18,620 hectares. The Hyland Gold deposit is a distal intrusion related, sediment-hosted, structurally controlled gold+silver deposit. The Hyland Main Zone Inferred Gold Resource, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, at a 0.6g/t gold equivalent ("AuEq") cutoff, contains 12,503,994 tonnes with 361,692 ounces gold at 0.9g/t and 2,248,948 ounces silver at 5.59g/t for a combined gold and silver 396,468 ounces gold equivalent at 0.99g/t.

The Hyland Gold Project is in the southeastern Selwyn Basin, a Late Precambrian to Middle Devonian tectonic element characterized by deposition of deep water marine sediments. The Property area is underlain by metasedimentary lithologies of the Yusezyu, Narchilla, and Vampire Formations of the Precambrian Hyland Group as well as Lower to Middle Cambrian Sekwi Formation, Cambrian to Ordovician Otter Creek and Rabbitkettle Formations, Ordovician Sunblood Formation, Silurian to Devonian Road River Group and undivided, time-equivalent Nonda-Muncho-McConnell-Stone-Dunedin Formation. The older sedimentary rocks were intruded by Cretaceous granite, quartz monzonite and granodiorite plugs assigned to the Selwyn Plutonic Suite. Collectively, they record a quiescent, subsiding continental margin punctuated by transgressive and regressive cycles, rifting, collision of allochthonous terranes, mountain building and magmatism. The deposit is interpreted as a sediment hosted, structurally controlled gold mineralization target, folded about a north-south trending antiform overlain by massive limestone to the east and west. Mineralization coincides with the antiformal axis and appears to be the major control of mineralization.

The main zones of mineralization on the project are aligned along a major north-south trending structural lineament referred to as the Quartz Lake Corridor, an 18 km long zone of faulting, folding and brecciation that controls a variety of styles of gold+/-silver mineralization. Exploration on the project to date has tested approximately 11km of the 18 km trend, and includes the Camp, Main, Cuz and the Montrose Ridge Zones. These other areas of gold mineralization on the project bear similarities to carbonate replacement and manto styles of mineralization. In aggregate, the known areas of mineralization in conjunction with less well explored areas of strongly anomalous gold and pathfinder element response, are testament to a strong causative hydrothermal system giving rise to a large area of high exploration potential for a variety of sediment hosted gold exploration targets types.

Exploration work on and around the Hyland Gold Project has been ongoing since the late 1800's, most work prior to the early 1980's was focused on base metal exploration of the Mel Pb-Zn Manto deposit (owned by Xtrata) that lies two km west of the Hyland Main Zone, the potential for gold mineralization was first recognized in 1981 with the discovery of anomalous arsenic-bismuth-gold soil geochemistry at the Main Zone and Cuz targets. Exploration


11

has consisted of extensive soil and rock geochemical sampling, airborne and ground-based geophysical surveys, percussion and diamond drilling, and bulldozer/excavator trenches.

The core presented will be from the 2017 exploration drill holes at the Hyland Gold deposit, as well as, a few highlighted sections of core from previous years.

BLACKSTONE MINERALS LTD

LITTLE GEM COBALT-GOLD PROJECT

Dr Stuart Owen, Exploration Manager, Blackstone Minerals Ltd; Mr Andrew Radonjic, Technical Director, Blackstone Minerals Ltd.

The Little Gem Cobalt-Gold Project is located in the Bridge River-Bralorne Mining District, 180 km north of Vancouver in BC.

The drill core to be displayed from the project is from a recently completed drill hole (the first hole drilled at Little Gem in over 30 years) by Blackstone Minerals that was used to confirm mineralization exposed in three adits mined sporadically between 1938 and 1957. The drill core contains lenses of coarse grained cobalt sulpharsenide, quartz and calcite within a highly altered zone of granodiorite, which visually confirms the historical observations from geological mapping of the adits. Assay results from Blackstone’s first hole supported the geological logging with a drill intersection of 4.3 metres @ 1.0% cobalt and 15 g/t gold (including 1.1 metres @ 3.0% cobalt and 44 g/t gold) returned.

The Little Gem mineralization is hosted by granitic rocks of the Cretaceous to Tertiary Penrose Stock, a lobe of the Coast Plutonic Complex. Penrose Stock granitic rocks consist mainly of biotite hornblende granodiorite, quartz diorite and some granitic phases that intrude a variety of Late Palaeozoic to Mesozoic chert, argillite, limestone, tuffs and serpentinite units. The area of the mine workings was probably close to the upper contact of the Penrose intrusion which has been shallowly unroofed.

Previous exploration noted that the mineralization consists of lenses and irregular patches of up to a few metres in dimension of coarse grained cobalt sulpharsenide + quartz + calcite within in a 10-15 metre thick steeply south-dipping chlorite, allanite, biotite, K-feldspar, quartz, sericite and siderite alteration zone with disseminated sulpharsenides. Gold is present within the sulpharsenide lenses and associated alteration zones. The sulpharsenides containing the cobalt and high-grade gold are a mixture of the cobalt-bearing variety of arsenopyrite (danaite) and loellingite-safflorite. In polished section, gold has been observed intergrown with sulpharsenide minerals, between metallic and non-metallic minerals and some wholly within the non-metallic minerals. Initial observations suggest several stages of mineralization and alteration.

The project is still in the early stages of exploration and a significant amount of further drilling is required in the next field season to warrant a resource estimation.

Besides the recently drilled hole there are no significant drill hole intersections since the 1950s.

The high tenor of gold within the mineralized zones at Little Gem could be attributed to being mostly underlain by granite of the Coast Plutonic Complex and ultramafic rocks on what is interpreted to be the northern extension of the Cadwallader fault zone. These are the major geological units and structures important to the mineral deposits either as the host rocks or sources of the mineralizing fluids that gave rise to the Bridge River mining camp. The camp has 60 mineral localities including the Bralorne-Pioneer mining complex (endowment of 4.4 Moz at 17 g/t Au) which retains the status of the foremost gold producer in British Columbia and the sixth largest in Canada. Little Gem is only 15 km along strike to the north of the Bralorne-Pioneer mining complex.

BONTERRA RESOURCES INC.

GLADIATOR GOLD DEPOSIT

Dale Ginn, VP Exploration, Bonterra Resources Inc.

The Gladiator Gold Deposit was discovered by Bonterra Resources in 2010 with prospecting and limited drilling and is located 8 km south of the Windfall and Lynx deposits in the Urban Barry Camp of Quebec. Large extensions and parallel veins were discovered in 2015 and were the catalyst for ongoing diamond drilling programs of approximately 60,000 meters for 2017 and the same projected for 2018. The deposit is within a shear hosted vein style ductile brittle setting where regional east west shearing is present along mafic volcanic contacts with intermediate units. Mineralized felsic porphyritc units also occupy some of the shear space within the dilation zone that hosts the deposit. Bonterra has drilled the deposit over dimensions of 1.2 km in length and 1 km depth, with 5 distinct zones identified to date. Examples from the five identified zones or veins (North, Footwall, Main, South and Barbeau) will be on display.

BRAVEHEART RESOURCES INC.

ALPINE MINE

Braveheart Resources Inc. ("Braveheart" or "the Company") is focused on its 2,177- hectare Alpine property located 20km northeast of Nelson, BC in relatively rugged terrain of the Selkirk Mountains. Within the property is the Alpine Mine, a former operating underground mine, with a recorded production of approximately 16,810t between 1938 and 1948. This material contained 11,413 oz of gold, 7,087 oz of silver, 49.3t of lead and 17.2t of zinc. Mineralization is principally centered on the Alpine Vein, a quartz vein ranging from 0.5m to >2m in thickness, usually accompanied by mineralized material in the form of thin quartz veinlets on both the hanging wall and footwall sides. Free gold generally occurs in quartz veins primarily in association with pyrite and galena and secondarily with sphalerite.

Braveheart completed a 1,660m diamond drilling program in late September, 2017. Notable intercepts were a 1.6m interval grading 33.6 g/t Au including 0.8m grading 66.1 g/t Au. BTW core samples from this hole and another, both with visible gold, will be on display. Grab samples from the former mine workings showing visible gold will also be on display. Cross sections and plans of the deposit will be displayed as well.

Braveheart has engaged a Qualified Person to produce a NI 43-101 Resource Report which will be available by year end.

Braveheart has a comprehensive exploration and development plan for 2018 that will involve additional diamond drilling to further define a resource; the Drill Permit is valid for 5 years. The Company will also be applying for a Bulk Sample permit to extract material from both the former mine and external stockpiles. The Company's longer term plan is to develop an underground gold mine in the 75,000t/year category in the shortest time frame possible.

BRIXTON METALS CORPORATION

CHIVAS ZONE: A NEW AU-AG-CU DISCOVERY

Gary Thompson, President and CEO; Sorin Posescu, Vice President Exploration; Danette Schwab, Senior Geologist, Brixton Metals Corporation

The 997 square-kilometre wholly owned Thorn Project is located in northwestern British Columbia, Canada, at the northern end of the Golden Triangle approximately 90 km ENE from Juneau, Alaska and 65km from tide water.

The Thorn Project is at the exploration-stage hosting several styles of mineralization related to epithermal and porphyry environments.

The Thorn Project is a district scale Triassic to Eocene volcanoplutonic complex. Triassic Stuhini Group rocks have been intruded and overlain by Jurassic, Late Cretaceous to Eocene bimodal volcanoplutonic complexes. The Thorn Project is of similar geology to deposits including KSM, Brucejack, Red Chris, Galore Creek and other major deposits within the Golden Triangle.

Numerous showings and mineralization types occur on the property: Oban Diatreme Breccia (Ag-Au-Cu-Pb-Zn) which returned 95m of 900 g/t AgEq, Glenfiddich and Talisker Zone HS Breccia-Veins (Au-Ag-Cu), Outlaw Zone Sediment-Hosted Au-Ag and the Chivas Zone Au-Ag veins and Porphyry Cu. An inferred resource of 21.5Moz AgEq (7.4Mt at 89.75 AgEq) was established on the Oban, Talisker and Glenfiddich Zones combined in 2014 by SRK Consulting. All zones remain open for expansion.

A total of 22,927.47m of drilling has been completed on the property including 10 core drill holes for 2,455m at the Chivas Zone in 2017.

There was no reported work at the Chivas Zone until 2014, when Brixton ran a single 700 m long soil line on a break in slope in the area. Most of the soil samples returned highly anomalous gold values with a high of 11.00 ppm Au, 12.70 ppm Ag and 11.4 ppm Te. During 2016, the largest gold-in-soil anomaly on the property of greater than seven square km (3.5 km x 2 km) was defined. Brixton conducted geological mapping and completed 15.5 km of Titan24 DC/IP geophysics over the Chivas Zone. Drilling at the Chivas Zone in 2017 represents a new discovery. Several holes ended in increasing Cu (+/-Mo). Surface mapping in 2017 has identified a new open-ended copper corridor which has yet to be drill tested. The copper corridor occurs within a feldspar porphyritic intrusion flanked by sericite and inner propylitic alteration zones. Highlights of drilling in 2017 include:

• Hole 142 intersected 6.45m of 4.86 g/t AuEq (2.63 g/t Au, 45.15 g/t Ag, 0.18% Cu, 0.42% Pb, 1.50% Zn) within 18m of 1.83 g/t AuEq (0.99% Au, 19.46 g/t Ag, 0.18%Pb, 0.66% Zn) from 161m depth

• Hole 143 intersected 8m of 4.01 g/t AuEq (0.71 g/t Au, 202.49 g/t Ag, 0.34% Pb, 0.35% Zn) within 11m of 2.96 g/t AuEq (0.54 g/t Au, 147.78 g/t Ag, 0.25% Pb, 0.27% Zn) from 59m depth

• Hole 144 intersected 17.26m of 2.62 g/t AuEq (0.61 g/t Au, 110.27 g/t Ag, 0.36% Pb, 0.36% Zn) within 52 m of 0.87 g/t AuEq (0.31 g/t Au, 39.56 g/t Ag) from 133.62m depth

CARUBE COPPER CORP.

CARUBE COPPER’S BELLAS GATE COPPER GOLD PORPHYRY PROJECT, JAMAICA, WEST INDIES

Shannon Baird, Exploration Manager, Carube Copper Corp.; Jeffrey Ackert, President & CEO Carube Copper Corp.

CARUBE COPPER CORP

Carube Copper Corp. has eleven 100% owned copper and gold exploration permits in Jamaica totalling 535 square kilometres, and a $14M modern exploration database guiding our foreword planning. Carube Copper also has three porphyry related projects in British Columbia, Canada totalling 469 square kilometres. As a first mover explorer in Jamaica’s copper-gold rich terrain and a pioneer in an area of BC’s Cascade Magmatic Arc, now recognized for its mineral potential, Carube has a tremendous opportunity to create wealth through the exploration discovery of new porphyry copper and gold deposits.

JAMAICA

Carube Copper has identified seven porphyry systems at the flagship Bellas Gate Project. New mineral exploration and development is welcome and encouraged by the Jamaican Government. The country has a long history of mining, beginning with the Spanish in the 16th Century, continuing with the British in the 19th Century and, today the modern bauxite industry is still thriving. Mineral extraction in Jamaica is a very large contributor to the country’s GDP. British based law, Canadian banking institutions, good infrastructure and ready access to deep water shipping ports all contribute to a beneficial mining environment.

BELLAS GATE PROJECT

The Bellas Gate Project (BGP) consists of two Special Exclusive Prospecting Licenses (SEPLs) covering 84km2. The licenses are located within highly deformed, altered and mineralized Cretaceous rocks within the Central Inlier of Jamaica. The Bellas Gate Project contains 35 known copper, copper-gold and gold occurrences and deposits, and includes porphyry, vein and skarn deposit types. Porphyry copper and gold occurrences and deposits have peripheral quartz veins that contain chalcopyrite, pyrite and lesser sphalerite and galena. Porphyry style copper mineralization is associated with moderate to strong proximal potassic alteration and more distal propylitic alteration. Priority target areas on the property are the NW - SE oriented alteration zones and their potential to host significant porphyry related copper and gold mineralization. These alteration zones contain the Provost, Hendley, Ginger Ridge, Connors, Camel Hill, Mab Hill, Geo Hill and Lucky Valley prospects. A second priority on the Property is the investigation and evaluation of higher grade sulphide showings that include the former underground mines at Charing Cross and Stamford Hill, as well as the numerous adits and shafts related to copper, gold and silver mineralization at Congo Hill, Elma, Victoria and McNeish prospects.

Recent drill results by Carube Copper at Bellas Gate include the following:

From the Connors Porphyry:

• Hole DDH-CON-14-005 intersected 294m of 0.56% CuEq; including 96m of 1.00% CuEq,

• Hole DDH-CON-14-003 intersected 297m of 0.53% CuEq, including 55m of 1.00% CuEq.


18

From the Provost Porphyry:

• Hole DDH-PVT-16-002 intersected 339m of 0.34% CuEq, including 10m of 1.79% CuEq,

• Hole DDH-PVT-16-001 intersected 82m of 0.46% CuEq, including 29m of 0.63% CuEq

• Hole DDH-PVT-17-004 intersected 340.1m of 0.25% CuEq, including 55.3m of 0.51% CuEq

• Hole DDH-PVT-17-005 intersected 191m of 0.30% CuEq, including 74m of 0.50% CuEq

More drilling is planned to evaluate the copper and gold porphyry potential at Bellas Gate.

CHAKANA COPPER CORPORATION

THE SOLEDAD PROJECT, PERU – HIGH GRADE CU-AU-AG HOSTED IN MULTIPLE TOURMALINE BRECCIA PIPES.

David Kelley, President and CEO; Doug Kirwin, Chairman; John Black, Director; Chakana Copper Corporation

The Soledad project is in Ancash province of central Peru, approximately 260 km north-northwest of Lima and 35 km south of Barrick’s Pierina mine. The project is part of the Ticapampa-Aija Mining District in the Cordillera Negra, a region with a long history of exploration and mining. Previous exploration identified numerous high grade quartz-tourmaline-sulfide breccia pipes that crop out at surface. Whereas the mineralization hosted in the breccia pipes is impressive in terms of grade and vertical extent, previous explorers were focused on a blind mineralized porphyry target inferred to be the source of the breccia mineralization. Chakana is focused on testing the breccia pipes to determine if they host economic mineralization.

The breccia pipes are principally hosted in the Calipuy group volcanic rocks, consisting of andesite flows, tuff and rhyolite with a composite thickness of over 2,000m. A secondary host is granodiorite that intrudes the volcanic rocks. A 16,000m drill program was initiated August 16, 2016, designed to determine the geometry of several previously drilled pipes, determine the true grade profile by drilling across the pipes, define an initial inferred resource on 2 of the pipes, and test a number of targets across the property.

Drilling to-date has focused on Breccia Pipe #1, where previous drilling confirmed a vertical extent of mineralized breccia from surface to 490m depth where the drill hole deviated out of the breccia pipe. Based on previous IP surveys and a recent CS/NS-AMT survey, the pipes are thought to extend much deeper. Highlights from the first two holes completed by Chakana are: 1) 146.6m with 2.51 g/t Au, 48.6 g/t Ag and 0.77% Cu from surface, including 0-44m with 3.92 g/t Au and 29.6 g/t Ag, and 102.6m with 1.91 g/t Au, 56.8 g/t Ag, and 1.1% Cu from 44m; 2) 209m with 2.22 g/t Au, 69.6 g/t Ag, and 0.96% Cu from surface, including 0-40m with 4.21 g/t Au, 18.6 g/t Ag, 74m with 3.31 g/t Au, 65.5 g/t Ag, and 1.11% Cu from 40m, and 64m with 0.72 g/t Au, 139.1 g/t Ag, and 1.84% Cu from 145m.

The breccias have dimensions of 50-100m diameter at surface with separation between the pipes of 300-500m. The breccia is polymictic and contain clasts reflecting the adjacent host rock, either andesite or granodiorite. Contacts with the wall rock are sharp, and there is a well-defined halo away from the contact characterized by sheeted quartz-sericite-sulfide veining with decreasing intensity within 3m of the contact. Mineralization is hosted within the matrix of the breccia and consists of quartz-tourmaline-sulfide. Clasts of andesite are generally tabular in shape, forming “shingle” texture, and are strongly altered to quartz-sericite-tourmaline. Grades are typically highest on the margins of the breccia bodies where permeability was best developed. Based on initial petrography, the sulfide assemblage includes chalcopyrite, digenite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, and an unidentified silver-sulfide phase. Sphalerite and galena are common on the margin of the breccia or within veinlets in the fractured host andesite. Gold occurs as free blebs in the 20-100 um size range within pyrite.

COEUR MINING, INC.

THE SILVERTIP CARBONATE HOSTED AG-PB-ZN DEPOSIT, NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

Coeur Mining, Inc.

In 2015, Coeur began an exploration program focused on Carbonate Replacement Deposits (CRDs) in North America. As a result of this work, to date the Company has acquired one mine is Canada and one in Mexico.

The Silvertip Mine is located in northern British Columbia, just south of the Yukon border, approximately 90 km by air west-southwest of Watson Lake, Yukon. Total resources at September 11, 2017, as reported by Coeur(1) include 2.35 million tonnes of indicated resource at grade of 1,166 g/t AgEq (352 g/t Ag, 9.4% Zn and 6.7% Pb), and an 0.46 million tonnes of inferred resource grade of 1,155 g/t AgEq (343 g/t Ag, 9.8% Zn and 6.2% Pb). Coeur plans to invest in excess of US$25 million in surface infrastructure, accelerated underground development and drilling and mill optimization, which is expected to allow recommencement of commercial production by the end of the first quarter of 2018.

The following information is taken from the 2011 Silvertip Technical Report(2):

Most of the economic mineralization identified to date occurs as massive sulphide bodies in the form of gently plunging tubes or cape shaped mantos, up to approximately 20 meters thick, 30 meters wide and locally more than 200 meters in length. These are located at the top of the McDame limestone (Mid-Upper Devonian) at or near the unconformable contact with the Earn Group (Devono-Mississippian rift-related clastics). Discordant, high-angle chimney feeders are also present and have been the target of recent underground exploration.

Contacts between the massive sulphides and the host limestone can be remarkably sharp, but transitional zones of alteration (silicification, dolomitization), recrystallization and brecciation are common. The mineralization consists of early-formed pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite and lesser galena with a slightly younger, higher temperature sulphosalt-sulphide suite of minerals. The latter contain the main silver-bearing phases including pyrargyrite-proustite, boulangerite-jamesonite and tetrahedrite (freibergite), as well as silver-rich galena. The mineralizing event is assumed to be Late Cretaceous (70 Ma) in age based on fluorine age dates of QSP alteration proximal to felsic intrusions in the region.

The La Morita Mine in northern Chihuahua State, Mexico has been operated intermittently by a local group for the past decade and its full potential has yet to be explored. In 2017, Coeur entered into an option agreement to explore and potentially acquire 100% of the property, subject to a 2% NSR. Drilling to date has identified vein style mineralization, although results from recently completed geophysical surveys (ground magnetics and IP) suggest the possibility of bedding parallel mineralization.

COLORADO RESOURCES LTD

EXPLORATION IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE

Adam Travis, President and CEO; Jim Oliver, Chief Geoscientist, Colorado Resources Ltd

During the 2017 field season, Colorado completed a total of 14,353m of drilling in 74 diamond drillholes on two of its Golden Triangle projects along with early stage exploration on a number of its other projects. Colorado will be showcasing core from its two projects drilled in 2017, along with some historical core from the Kinaskan-Castle Property.

KSP Property

Colorado completed 68 diamond drillholes (11,824m) on its 100% owned KSP Property, located approximately 15km long strike from the past producing Snip Mine and 40km NW of Seabridge Gold Inc. KSM Project and Pretivm Resources BruceJack Project.

The 2017 drilling outlined a new and encouraging gold-copper intrusive related system at the Tami occurrence, discovered high-grade gold in the Inel area (V.G. Zone and Khyber), tested a gold-copper porphyry system in the Camp Porphyry and cored a semi-conformable high grade zinc-gold zone in the upper AK area.

North ROK Property

Colorado completed 6 diamond drillholes (2,529m) on its 100% owned North ROK Property, located adjacent to Highway 37 and approximately 15km northwest of Imperial Metals Red Chris Mine.

2017 exploration programs on the newly expanded North ROK Property, when combined with historical sampling outlined 7 anomalous areas with >200ppm Copper. The distribution of gold and copper in rock and soil samples characterize a 9km long favorable copper and gold mineralized trend, and the newly acquired I.P. data extends the current North ROK I.P. anomaly at Mabon an additional 1.2km southeast.

Drilling occurred near the margins of the 2014 North ROK Inferred Resource and at this time, results are still pending.

Kinaskan-Castle Property

In February 2017, Colorado expanded the Kinaskan Property to include the Castle gold-silver-copper project located 2km west of the recent GT Gold Saddle Zone Discovery, 10km west of Colorado’s North ROK Property and 25km west of Imperial Metals Red Chris Mine.

Colorado’s 2017 exploration activities were focused on the 4km long central and eastern end of the Castle Alteration Zone (“CAZ”). Sampling discovered that anomalous gold soil geochemical data closely track the CAZ. Gold geochemistry >200ppb Au in soils form a series of well-defined segments, from a few hundred meters to >600m in strike length within the broader CAZ. A >300ppm Cu contour tracks portions of the CAZ over its 5km strike length. Elevated copper values are also noted to the east where copper mineralization is hosted by structural zones which may be concordant and discordant to coarse grained mafic fragmental volcanic and intrusive contacts.

CONSTANTINE METAL RESOURCES LTD.

NEW DISCOVERY AT THE PALMER COPPER-ZINC-SILVER-GOLD VMS PROJECT, SOUTHEAST ALASKA

Darwin Green, Garfield MacVeigh; Liz Cornejo; Conor McKinley; Kei Quinn; Nathan Steeves

The Palmer Project is an advanced stage, high-grade volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) project that is found within the Alexander Triassic Metallogenic Belt that includes the Greens Creek and Windy Craggy VMS deposits. The project is in a very accessible part of coastal Southeast Alaska, with road access to the property and within 60 kilometers of the year-round deep sea port of Haines. In 2017, Constantine completed a US$7.0 million exploration program that included approximately 10,000 meters of drilling, airborne geophysics, road construction, and environmental programs. The work was funded by the newly formed joint venture between Constantine (51%) and Dowa Metals & Mining Alaska, Ltd (49%). The 2017 drill program was a tremendous success, including both the discovery of a new high-grade base and precious metal zone (“AG Zone”) and the expansion and upgrade of the South Wall deposit.

AG Zone is a new VMS discovery, located 3 km from the known 8.1 million tonne South Wall-RW Zone inferred resource. To date, drilling has defined the steeply-dipping AG Zone over a strike length of 225 meters and a vertical dip length of 275 meters, with all edges open to expansion. The discovery confirms the multi-deposit district potential for the Palmer project. Assay highlights include 24.6 meters grading 260 g/t (8.3 opt) silver, 0.5 g/t gold, 1.4% zinc, 0.5% lead including 1214 g/t (38.9 opt) silver, 1.3 g/t gold in a 2.7 meter subinterval (CMR17-94). A step-out 60 meters to the northwest intersected 20.4 meters grading 9.9% zinc, 0.2% copper, 14.4 g/t silver, 0.1 g/t gold (CMR17-96). Mineralization is well zoned, consisting of a lower zinc-dominant footwall zone, and an upper silver-gold barite-rich zone at higher stratigraphic levels. As is typical elsewhere on the Palmer Property, mineralization occurs across a thick interval of stratigraphy and is present at more than one horizon. Mineralization styles includes massive and semi-massive sulphide and barite, and feeder style stringers and replacement.

The South Wall and RW Zones host an inferred resource estimate (May 2015) of 8.1 million tonnes grading 1.41% copper, 5.25% zinc, 0.32 g/t gold and 31.7 g/t silver. The resource is open in multiple directions, with drilling in 2017 successfully expanding the mineralized zones. The highlight was an intersection of 45.4 meters grading 2.5% copper, 7.4% zinc, 39 g/t silver, 0.3 g/t gold (CMR17-82) in an area poorly tested by previous drilling.

Mineralization of the South Wall resource is both laterally and vertically zoned, with conductive pyrite-chalcopyrite dominant massive sulphide and copper-rich feeder style mineralization located in the core of sulphide lenses, flanked by volumetrically more abundant, weak to non-conductive barite-sphalerite dominant mineralization.

CONTACT GOLD CORP.

PONY CREEK: CARLIN TYPE GOLD ON THE SOUTHERN TREND

Vance Spalding, VP Exploration, Contact Gold; James Robinson, Ph.D., Contact Gold; Zachery Hibdon, Contact Gold; Matthew Lennox-King, President & CEO, Contact Gold.

Contact Gold is a Nevada gold exploration company that listed on the TSX-V exchange in June of 2017. Our initial 2017 exploration effort was focused upon the 100% owned 95 square kilometer Pony Creek project. Pony Creek is located in northeastern Nevada, on the southern Carlin Trend between the Railroad-Pinion and Bald Mountain districts where significant, new gold discoveries and resource/reserve additions have recently been announced.

Significant gold mineralization was discovered by stream sediment sampling followed by drilling in the early 1980's at Pony Creek, including a Newmont drill hole that returned 2.88 g/t Au over 99 meters. Contact Gold has a large database from this previous work including data for over 200 drill holes, rock and soils sampling, geophysical surveys and surface mapping.

Sedimentary rocks exposed at Pony Creek range from the Devonian Devil's Gate limestone up to the Pennsylvanian / Permian overlap sequence. Most of the gold encountered in drilling to date occurs beneath or proximal to an Eocene (44 Ma?) rhyolite intrusion in the Penn/Perm sandstones and conglomerates. Gold mineralization appears to be controlled by North, North-Northeast, and West-Northwest striking structures.

Our 2017 exploration program included 8,000 meters of shallow RC and deep core drilling, detailed mapping and soil and rock sampling. Exploration targeted the Pennsylvanian/Permian overlap sequence, in particular in areas that were ignored by previous explorers, as well as the traditional exploration target at the top of the Devonian Devil's Gate Limestone. Through 2018, we will continue to aggressively push the boundaries of the mineralized zones at the Bowl and Pony Creek North areas, and will be drill testing for the numerous outlying target areas identified in our 2017 target generation program.

COPPERBANK

PYRAMID, A CU-MO-AU PORPHYRY DEPOSIT, ALASKA

B. Dejou and G. Kovacevic, CopperBank Resources Corp.

The Pyramid Project is 100% controlled by CopperBank and is located on private property with the mineral rights owned by The Aleut Native Corporation lands. Located near the town of Sand Point, access and logistics are facilitated by water craft and the project is located approximately 4km from all year, ice-free, deep tide water. Intermittent historical exploration work has established a 43-101 compliant resource of 172 million tonnes 0.35% Cu, 0.02%Mo and 0.09g/t Au at a 0.21% Cu cut-off (SRK, 2013). The Pyramid porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit is a Tertiary multi-phased intrusive complex dominated by a quartz diorite body of calc-alkaline affinity intruding hornfelsed sedimentary rocks. Pyramid is inscribed within the prolific Pacific Ring of Fire. The mineralisation is mainly composed of chalcocite and chalcopyrite finely disseminated within the hornfels and the porphyritic quartz diorite. During July and August 2017, CopperBank completed 3,629 metres of diamond core drilling at Pyramid. The company is now updating the resource estimate and contemplating additional work programs for 2018 that may include preliminary economic assessments.

CORDOBA MINERALS CORP.

ALACRAN-SAN MATIAS: A HIGHLY PROSPECTIVE, DISTRICT-SCALE COPPER-GOLD PROJECT IN A PREVIOUSLY UNEXPLORED REGION OF COLOMBIA

Mark Gibson, Chief Operating Officer, Cordoba Minerals; Mario Stifano, President and CEO, Cordoba Minerals; Eugenio Espada, VP Exploration for Cordoba Minerals; Chris Grainger, Primary Technical Consultant, Cordoba Minerals; Graham Boyd, Senior Geologist, HPX

Cordoba Minerals (Cordoba) has secured an extensive land package covering approximately 20,000 hectares (260 km2) with an additional 250,000 hectares under application, in the Department of Córdoba, Republic of Colombia, 200 kilometres north of Medellin. The sea-level region is richly endowed with resources and infrastructure - within 30 kilometres there are two large operating open-pit mines including Cerro Matoso (a large nickel-laterite mine operated by South32) and Carbon del Caribe (coal mines operated by Argos).

Cordoba's San Matias Project is an early-stage exploration project. The Company is exploring a newly identified high-grade copper-gold district that is characterized by porphyry type and “carbonate replacement” (CRD) type and/or “iron oxide copper-gold” (IOCG) type deposits formed in an accreted island arc setting. Late Cretaceous ages for the magmatism and mineralization are based on preliminary radiometric age dates.

The Alacrán copper-gold deposit is located within a 390-hectare mining title (2.3 km x 1.7 km) in the northern central parts of the San Matias district. The copper-gold mineralization is associated with stratabound replacement of a faulted marine volcano-sedimentary sequence, which includes some fossiliferous limestones and other calcareous lithologies intercalated within andesitic volcaniclastics. The deposit comprises moderately dipping stratigraphy that is mineralized as two main stratabound mantos and associated disseminations at the footwall of large diorite sills. The copper-gold mineralization is comprised of chalcopyrite ± pyrrhotite cutting earlier metasomatic semi-massive magnetite and distal disseminated pyrite. Lack of prograde calc-silicate assemblages coupled with the strong iron metasomatism as early magnetite+silica replacement, albite+chlorite(+/-actinolite) and carbonate alteration in the host geological sequence indicate that the copper-gold mineralization can be classed as IOCG or CRD type.

Mineralization at the Alacrán deposit occurs within all volcanic and sedimentary members of the volcano-sedimentary sequence commencing at the surface. Drilling has outlined copper-gold mantos grading more than 0.8% CuEq over composite true widths of up to 200 metres at shallow open-pittable depths. The deposit remains open to the north, south and west (down dip) along some sections that will be tested in the next round of drilling to start in early September 2017, highlighting the potential for further resource expansion over the 1.3 kilometres of strike drilled to date.

Selected highlights of the 2017 drilling program are as follows:

• ACD036:

o 5.00 m @ 800.90 g/t Au + 3.70% Cu + 8.60% Zn + 88.63 g/t Ag, including:

0.90 m @ 4,440 g/t Au + 10.25% copper (Cu) + 24.70% zinc (Zn) + 347 g/t silver (Ag)


27

• ACD033:

o 108 m @ 1.26% Cu + 0.87 g/t Au (from 0 m), including:

26 m @ 1.48% Cu + 1.37 g/t Au (from 20 m) 26 m @ 3.18% Cu + 1.62 g/t Au (from 62 m)

CORVUS GOLD INC.

MOTHER LODE PROJECT: WALKER LANE TREND, NEVADA

Jeffrey Pontius, Mark Reischman, Corvus Gold Inc.

The Mother Lode project is located in southern Nevada approximately 10 kilometres east of the city of Beatty within the Walker Lane gold belt. The deposit was mined in the 1980's and produced approximately 34,000 ounces of gold. The last exploration conducted on the property ended in the 1990's which outlined a historic, non-NI 43-101 compliant resource of 433,000 ounces at an average grade of 1.6 g/t Au. Due to low gold prices (<$300/oz) the project went into full mine closure in the late 1990’s and no further exploration occurred until its acquisition by Corvus Gold in the summer of 2017.

Gold mineralization at the Mother Lode project is Miocene in age and hosted in a series of shallowly dipping tuffaceous volcanic sediments and sills as well as the underlying Paleozoic rocks for the Lone Mountain and Roberts Mountain formations. Key ore controls are a series of high angle, north-northwest trending structures hosting Miocene dikes and sills and the east-northeast trending, north dipping, Fluorspar Canyon detachment fault. The intersection of these two major structural trends has created a large damage zone and facilitated intrusive activity which is currently interpreted to be genetically related to the gold system. The NNW structural zones host higher grade mineralization in excess of 3 g/t Au over widths of 10-20 meters. The current historic resource is shallow and has an overall strip ratio of approximately 3-1. Mineralization varies from oxide through transitional to sulfide.

Corvus Gold is conducting the first new exploration and resource definition drilling on the Mother Lode property in over 20 years. Historic drilling was dominantly vertical and only to a depth of <200 metres, which failed to effectively test the high angle, structurally/dike related feeder zones and the lower part of the main sediment hosted deposit in the Paleozoic lower plate units.

The core holes displayed illustrate the nature of the existing Mother Lode gold mineralization and characterize what is emerging as a new Carlin style, sediment hosted gold system in western Nevada. The displayed core has select intervals from new Corvus Gold core holes which include:

• ML-17-001: 59.8m @ 1.95 g/t Au, incl. 11.0m @ 5.8 g/t in the main Mother Lode Structure

• ML-17-002: 58.9m @ 2.8 g/t Au, incl. 8.4m @ 6.5 g/t Au in the main Mother Lode Structure

Corvus Gold will use the results from its two stage +20,000 metre drill program to validate and expand the existing 25,000 metre drill hole data base which will culminate in the publication of a NI-43-101 resource statement in the spring of 2018. In addition, the new Mother Lode resource will be combined with Corvus Gold’s existing North Bullfrog project located approximately 10 kilometres to the northwest for an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment in late Q2 of 2018.

DOLLY VARDEN SILVER CORPORATION

NEW DISCOVERIES IN THE HISTORIC DOLLY VARDEN SILVER MINING CAMP, NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

Ben Whiting, Vice President, Exploration, Dolly Varden Silver Corporation; Rob van Egmond, Chief Geologist, Dolly Varden Silver Corporation; Chris Sebert, Consulting Geologist; Michelle McKeough, Project Geologist, TerraLogic Exploration Inc.

“The best place to make a new discovery is in the shadow of a headframe”; is an expression used when exploring historic mining camps. While the headframes are long gone from the Dolly Varden Silver Mining Camp, drilling in close proximity to known mineral deposits is still a useful approach, particularly when alternative interpretations of the geologic setting can be tested. The Dolly Varden (1919-1921) and Torbrit (1949-1959) were high grade silver-lead-zinc mining operations located in The Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia, Canada.

There are several styles of mineralization, including siliceous exhalative horizons and epithermal quartz veins. The Dolly Varden-Torbrit Horizon (“DVTH”) is marked by a distinctive upper zone of jasper and quartz breccias and stockworks, with bladed barite pseudomorph textures and colloform banding, overlying a lower zone of smoky quartz and sulphides. Mineralization consists of acanthite, native silver, pyrargyrite, pyrite, galena and sphalerite.

Structurally, the deposits are hosted in Jurassic Hazelton Group volcaniclastics in a northward-plunging synform. Locally there are steeply dipping pre-, syn- and post-mineral faults, which offset the horizon. Northeast of the Torbrit deposit is located the Moose-Lamb Fault, which has been re-interpreted as a syn-basinal reverse fault. This is important because one of the new 2017 discoveries has been made in the footwall block to the north of Torbrit.

Hole DV17-063 yielded an intercept, with textures of a classic DVTH exhalative marker, for 22.74 metres (21.37 m true) grading Ag 433 g/t, Pb 0.74 % and Zn 0.72 % for a silver-equivalent of 476 g/t. Within this intercept is an interval of 7.15 metres (6.72 m true) grading Ag 1,181 g/t, Pb 1.83 % and Zn 0.26 % for a silver-equivalent of 1,272 g/t. The location of this intercept is 200 metres north and 220 metres deeper than Torbrit, thus opening up a new fault block for exploration. The DVTH has also been located over 500 metres further to the north of Torbrit.

Adjacent to the Moose-Lamb Fault is an epithermal vein style intercept of 11.00 metres (7.07 m true) grading Ag 394 g/t, Pb 2.27 % and Zn 0.46 % for a silver-equivalent of 514 g/t. Within this intercept is an interval of 2.00 metres (1.29 m true) grading Ag 1,700 g/t, Pb 11.55 % and Zn 1.46 % for a silver-equivalent of 2,264 g/t.

EASTMAIN RESOURCES INC

CLEARWATER PROJECT: HIGH-GRADE GOLD IN THE HEART OF JAMES BAY, QUEBEC

The Clearwater property covers 51,124 ha and is located in the James Bay region of Northern Quebec. The project is also located in close proximity to the Opinaca metasedimentary sub province to the north, which hosts Goldcorp Inc.’s multimillion ounce Eleonore gold deposit. Surrounded by excellent infrastructure including paved roads to site, extensive power generating capacity nearby and a local airport, the Clearwater project is favourably positioned for future development.

The Clearwater property had seen sporadic exploration over the past 15 years prior to Eastmain’s involvement. After increased exploration efforts focused on the Eau Claire deposit, the project earned the distinction of “Discovery of the year in 2015” by the Association de L'Exploration Minière du Quebec ("AEMQ").

Over the past 12 months, the current Eastmain team has completed over 80k metres of drilling in and around the main Eau Claire deposit with an emphasis on resource delineation and infill drilling for the purposes of delivering an updated resource estimate. With the results of this drilling tabulated, Eastmain announced an updated resource in September 2017 which demonstrated significantly improved grades while maintaining critical size and scale. As at September 11th, 2017, the estimated mineral resources within the Eau Claire deposit consist of 826 000 oz. at an average grade of 6.16 g/t gold in the measured and indicated categories and 465 000 oz. at average grade of 6.49 g/t gold in the inferred category.

With mineralization beginning at surface, the current resource reflects ~240k ozs in a constrained pit shell at an average grade of ~5.97 g/t. The company envisions the remaining +1MM ozs of the deposit would be extracted via underground mining methods. With approximately 1MM ozs located with 400 metres of surface, the deposit benefits from being easily accessed and bodes well for future development.

Today, Eastmain continues extensional drilling with an emphasis on the down-dip portion of the deposit. With the convergence of two major controlling structures, the company continues to identify additional robust mineralization down-dip and along strike. The results of this additional drilling will be used as the basis for an updated resource expected in Q2/18. This new resource will then form the basis for a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) which the company expects to release mid-way through 2018.

The Clearwater project hosts numerous other prospects (Rosemary, Snake Lake, Clovis Lake, Natel, Knight, Beluga) with similar geology and mineralization. Eastmain has also recently acquired Lake Clarkie project to the east along the deformation corridor that hosts Eau Claire deposit. The potential for orogenic gold deposits is well recognized in this district, but the properties are also highly prospective for porphyry and sedimentary-hosted gold deposits. Testing of several of these adjacent prospects will take place in 2018.

ELDORADO GOLD CORPORATION

BOLCANA PORPHYRY AU-CU DEPOSIT, APUSENI MOUNTAINS, ROMANIA

Paul Ivascanu, Zsolt Kulcsar, Reka Denes, Tim Baker and Peter Lewis; Eldorado Gold Corporation

The Bolcana deposit is a large gold-copper porphyry system located in the southern part of the Apuseni Mountains, western Romania. The deposit is associated with a Miocene magmatic complex that also hosts the Certej epithermal deposit (4.1 Moz @ 1.4 g/t Au) six kilometers to the east, and is part of the “Golden Quadrilateral” that contains an estimated gold endowment, including historical production, of over 100 Moz.

The deposit was targeted by compilation and extensive sampling of communist era exploration workings and drilling. Additional drilling by European Goldfields in early 2000 highlighted the shallow (<250m) mineralization potential, and modelling of historic copper and gold values and ratios assisted in defining potential high grade zones. The wider porphyry footprint was defined by mapping the surface extent of porphyry related breccias and alteration, coincident with a high chargeability gradient array induced polarization anomaly. A subsurface strong magnetic feature defined the centre of the porphyry system and was delineated by 3D inversion modelling.

Results of over 23,000m of drilling during 2017 in an area measuring 1,200 metres by 900 metres, and locally to a depth of more than 1,500 metres, have defined a large gold-rich porphyry system centered on a dioritic calc-alkaline intrusive complex. Drilling highlights include hole TRSD013, which tested the central core of the system, and intersected 1,246.0 metres from near surface with an average grade of 0.94 g/t Au and 0.27% Cu. This includes a shallow high-grade zone of 200.0 metres grading 1.43 g/t Au and 0.3% Cu and a deeper zone of 206.0 metres grading 1.55 g/t Au and 0.35% Cu. In addition to the central zone, high grades have been intersected 200 metres south in a second shallow zone referred to as the south zone, where drillhole TRSD017 intersected 132.0 metres grading 1.88 g/t Au and 0.34% Cu.

The shallow high grade gold and copper zones have variable chalcocite, covellite and bornite that partially replaced chalcopyrite, and coincide with residual potassic alteration where hematite-chlorite-white mica-clay replaced biotite-K-feldspar-magnetite-epidote. This alteration is centered on micro-diorite porphyry dykes that intruded an andesitic volcanic sequence consisting of coherent andesite flows, subvolcanic intrusions and volcanic breccias. The volcanic package is strongly brecciated around and above the porphyry system and contains a widespread phyllic to argillic alteration with variable quartz-pyrite-white mica-chlorite-clay assemblages.

The andesitic volcanic package is approximately 500m thick in the vicinity of the porphyry centre, and unconformably overlies Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous basement comprising basalt and lesser rhyolite. The deeper high grade gold and copper mineralization occur at and below the basement-volcanic contact, as stockwork veins and disseminations of chalcopyrite and subordinate bornite hosted in microdiorite dykes and associated magmatic to magmatic-hydrothermal breccias. Widespread strong potassic alteration (biotite–K feldspar–magnetite) with a magnetite-chlorite-epidote overprint is spatially related with the mineralization to depths of more than 1,200 metres. At greater depths crowded diorite porphyries with sodic-calcic alteration (albite-magnetite-amphibole-with variable chlorite, white mica and epidote) are dominant and coincide with lower copper and gold grades.

ENGOLD MINES LTD.

ENGOLD MINES LTD LAC LA HACHE PROJECT: EXPLORING LARGE ALKALIC PORPHYRY COPPER SYSTEMS IN THE PROLIFIC QUESNEL TROUGH, BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Robert B.K. Shives, Vice President Exploration, EnGold Mines Ltd.; David H. Brett, President, CEO, Director, EnGold Mines Ltd.

Introduction

EnGold Mines Ltd.is a Vancouver based gold, copper and silver exploration company (TSX Venture Exchange: EGM) focused on its 100% owned, 18,275 hectare (45,158 acres) Lac La Hache Property in the Cariboo region of BC. The property covers a large porphyry-copper-style mineralizing system within the Quesnel Trough, which hosts many producing mines and deposits. Numerous drilled prospects on the property have been interpreted within the context of alkalic and transitional to calc-alkalic, porphyry systems.

Three main mineralization styles occur:

1. Cu-Au-Ag, disseminated and fracture-controlled, hosted by alkali intrusive or volcanic wallrock; copper dominantly as chalcopyrite, lesser bornite, native copper at surface;

2. Au-Cu-Ag, in hydrothermal breccias, related fractures within alkali intrusive; visible gold in quartz veins locally; chalcopyrite, rare chalcocite

3. Cu-Magnetite-Au-Ag, hosted by exoskarns and replacements within calcareous Nicola volcaniclastic sediments.

Resources

Spout Magnetite-Copper-Gold-Silver Deposit

Mineralization exposed at surface, stratabound, hosted within skarny Nicola rocks, locally semi-massive; thin overburden; South Zone subhorizontal; North Zone subvertical, open to depth and along strike. A resource was completed in 2012 by SRK (Canada) based on low-grade, open pit model. Using copper-equivalent cutoff of 0.2 % copper, the resource includes:

Indicated 7.6 Mt grading 0.28 % Cu, 0.05 gpt Au, 1.26 gpt Ag, 11.4 % magnetite

Inferred 15.6 Mt grading 0.21 % Cu, 0.04 gpt Au, 0.93 gpt Ag, 8.32 % magnetite.

While EnGold does not currently plan to develop the Spout Deposit, potential exists to extract highest-grade (>1% copper, >25% magnetite), near surface material.

Aurizon Gold-Copper-Silver Deposit

Mineralization hosted by monzodioritic intrusive, structurally controlled, best grades in siliceous hydrothermal breccias, fractures and rarely, in quartz veins. Aurizon South Zone occupies north-trending subvertical structure,


33

400 m strike (open) and 700m below surface (open to depth). The resource figures were unavailable at the time of writing, but will be displayed at booth.

G1 Discovery

In February 2017, EnGold completed hole G16-01, testing a new ground gravity anomaly. That hole intersected 26.6m (true width) grading 1.76 % Cu, with 14 m exceeding 2 % Cu. The new zone is horizontal, stratabound, and we believe it occurs in down-dip extension of Spout host rocks, 1800m to northwest.

Subsequent 50 m step-out drilling at G1 has defined a well mineralized zone measuring roughly 250m by 150m at approximately 320m below surface, within 12 holes (Nov. 28, 2017). Best results were in hole G17-16 (140 m northeast of G16-01) which cut 43.5m (true width) grading 1.31 % Cu, 0.20 gpt Au, 4.06 gpt Ag and 31.14 % Fe (including 3.8m grading 2.01 % Cu, 0.23 gpt Au, 6.09 gpt Ag and 34.16 % Fe). The uniformity of grade throughout each intersection is impressive.

Selected drill cores from Aurizon, Spout and G1 Discovery are displayed.

ERDENE RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

BAYAN KHUNDII AND ALTAN NAR GOLD PROJECTS IN SOUTHWEST MONGOLIA

Michael MacDonald, VP Exploration, Erdene Resource Development; Dawson Brisco, VP Corporate Development, Erdene Resource Development

Erdene Resource Development (TSX:ERD) has been an active precious metals exploration company in Mongolia for over a decade, focused on the Tian Shan Gold Belt running through the southern part of the country, forming part of the Central Asian Orogeny that hosts some of the world’s largest gold deposits, including Rio Tinto’s 60 million ounce Oyu Tolgoi gold-copper deposit.

Erdene’s systematic regional reconnaissance exploration programs in southwest Mongolia have resulted in the discovery of multiple gold and copper occurrences, including two, high-grade, near-surface gold systems at Bayan Khundii and at Altan Nar, 16 kilometres apart. The wider district, although still in its infancy in regards to modern exploration, is now known to host the full spectrum of arc-related base and precious metal systems, including copper-silver and molybdenum-copper porphyries, intermediate sulphidation / carbonate base metal gold deposits, and low sulphidation epithermal gold and gold-silver systems, within an approximately 40 by 60 kilometre area.

Erdene’s 100%-owned Bayan Khundii project is a low-sulphidation epithermal gold system hosted within a zone of intensely silicified and sericitized Devonian volcanic units overlain in part by younger Cretaceous and Quaternary units. The host volcanic units contain variable quartz-adularia and stockwork veining, with visible gold identified in several holes. Step-out drilling in 2017 has doubled the established continuity of gold mineralization over a 1.3 km long trend, locally up to 450 metres wide, that remains open. 2017 drill intersections include:

- BKD-98: 80 metres of 6.0 g/t gold, 42 metres depth - BKD-110: 108 metres of 2.8 g/t gold, 97 metres depth - BKD-150: 131 metres of 1.8 g/t gold, 21 metres depth - BKD-153: 150 metres of 1.5 g/t gold, 33 metres depth

Erdene’s neighbouring 100%-owned Altan Nar project hosts multi-phase, epithermal gold-silver-lead-zinc mineralization dominated by an intermediate sulphidation, carbonate, base metal gold phase within Late Paleozoic andesitic volcanic rocks. In Q4 2016, Erdene identified a previously untested high-grade core in the central portion of the Discovery Zone, one of 18 targets along the 5.6 kilometre long Altan Nar trend. That discovery was further delineated in Q2/Q3 2017, with drill results including:

- TND-101: 15 metres of 52.3 g/t gold, 125 g/t silver, and 5.3% combined lead-zinc - TND-104: 8 metres of 6.1 g/t gold, 92 g/t silver, and 1.45% combined lead-zinc - TND-105: 14 metres of 7.9 g/t gold, 44 g/t silver, and 1.8% combined lead-zinc - TND-110: 20 metres of 10.3 g/t gold, 37 g/t silver, and 1.7% combined lead-zinc

In addition to 2017 drilling, Erdene has completed follow-up metallurgy (leach test recoveries of up to 96% over 48-hrs) and hosted several independent consultants to assist in on-going interpretation, including: Dr. Jeffrey


35

Hedenquist, a leading expert on epithermal gold systems; Mr. Imants Kavalieris, a specialist in alteration studies of epithermal and porphyry systems; and Dr. Armelle Kloppenburg, an experienced structural geologist.

A decision by Erdene regarding when to commence an independent resource estimate for Bayan Khundii and Altan Nar will be influenced by Q4 2017 drilling results, although it is anticipated that a resource study will be completed in 2018.

FIREWEED ZINC

TOM AND JASON: TWO ZN-PB-AG SEDIMENT HOSTED MASSIVE SULPHIDE DEPOSITS OF THE SELWYN BASIN

Jack Milton; Brandon Macdonald; George Gorzynski; Jill Moore; Fireweed Zinc

The term SEDEX was coined at Fireweed Zinc’s Tom deposit in the Selwyn Basin, Yukon. The Tom, and neighbouring Jason, Zn-Pb-Ag deposits together represent one of the largest undeveloped Zn-Pb deposits in North America. We present core from Fireweed Zinc’s 2017 drill program that displays a range of textures typical of vent-proximal SEDEX sediment hosted massive sulphide Zn-Pb-Ag mineralization, including complete intersections of very high grade material.

Tom and Jason are located at MacMillan Pass, Yukon, alongside the North Canol Road. The deposits are hosted by late Devonian shale-siltstone sequences within the MacMillan Pass member of the Portrait Lake Formation of the Earn Group. Vent complexes in SEDEX systems are rarely preserved but they are present at both Tom and Jason, underlying the stratiform mineralization. Ankerite-siderite-quartz veining, massive pyrite-pyrrhotite-galena, breccia textures, and discordant veins characterize the vent complexes, and they typically carry high grades of Pb and Ag. The stratiform mineralization is zoned away from the vents, from pink to grey to black “ore”. The pink “ore” contains pink and cream sphalerite, galena, barite, pyrite, ferroan carbonate, and barium feldspar. The grey “ore” contains cream sphalerite, galena, barite, and chert. The black “ore” has a large component of black carbonaceous cherty mudstone with grey barite, cream sphalerite, galena, and pyrite. Viewing the core presented here represents the rare opportunity to see a transect through a vent and vent-proximal mineralization from an archetypal SEDEX deposit, amid spectacular grades. Come and see these textures yourself to gain some insight regarding the current debate in SEDEX deposit genesis: do they represent direct precipitation of sulphides from anoxic, sulphidic seawater? Or do the textures support the in-situ, diagenetic replacement of early formed sulfates and sulphides?

The Tom and Jason deposits were discovered in 1951 and 1975, respectively. The deposits have lain dormant for many years, with the last significant exploration activity occurring in 1991. Fireweed Zinc optioned the Tom and Jason deposits in late 2016, and consolidated the land position by adding a significant adjacent claim holding later in 2017. Following an IPO in June 2017, Fireweed Zinc completed an exploration program on the Tom and Jason property, including a 2,200 metre drill program, helicopter VTEM-magnetic survey, surficial geochemistry, and geological mapping program. Fireweed drilled the Tom West, Tom East and Jason Main zones and core from each of these areas will be presented. The 2017 drill program focused on in-fill and step-out drilling of known zones. In 2018, Fireweed Zinc intends to continue in-fill and step-out drilling, in addition to executing an aggressive exploration program in the search for an entirely new Zn-Pb-Ag deposit.

GARIBALDI MINING CORP

MAGMATIC NI-CU-CO-PT-PD-AU-AG MINERALIZATION AT NICKEL MOUNTAIN, ESKAY RIFT, BRITISH COLUMBIA: GEOLOGY OF THE NEWLY DISCOVERED MASSIVE SULFIDE MINERALIZATION AT THE E&L PROSPECT

Peter C. Lightfoot, Everett Makela, Jeremy Hanson and Mike Muggridge

The E&L mafic intrusion is located 18 km southwest of the Eskay Creek Mine in the Eskay rift. Magmatic-textured disseminated sulfides were originally discovered by prospectors Lila and Edward Freeze in 1958. Follow-up work by Silver Standard identified a low grade mineralized zone in association with gabbroic rocks. Sumitomo attempted to explore the roots of the intrusion by drilling from a drift 390 metres below surface mineralization, but failed to intersect significant mineralization. In 2016, Garibaldi Resources Corp. acquired the property and channel sampling identified significant intervals of disseminated and semi-massive to massive sulfide mineralization with a high nickel tenor. A follow-up versatile time-domain electromagnetic (VTEM) survey identified a conductive target at depth below E&L, and this was followed-up at surface. Drilling of an EM plate at the eastern margin of the variable-textured orbicular olivine gabbro resulted in the intersection of two different sediment hosted massive sulfide mineral zones.

The thicker of the two lenses comprises loop-textured magmatic sulfide with granular pentlandite and chalcopyrite surrounding pyrrhotite. This sulfide carries remarkably high grades of both base and precious metals in massive sulfide within a rock that is almost entirely devoid of inclusions. Hole EL-17-14 in the Discovery Zone has cut 8.3% nickel and 4.2% copper over 16.75 meters within a broader 40.4-meter section grading 3.9% nickel and 2.3% copper from 100.4 to 140.8 meters. The 16.75-meter massive sulphide intercept also included 6.4 g/t combined platinum-palladium, 0.19% cobalt, 1.1 g/t gold and 11.1 g/t silver. Locally massive sulphide exceeds 16 g/t combined Pt+Pd.

The disseminated sulfides vary in metal tenor and tend to occur adjacent to the massive sulfide intervals that are hosted in the adjacent footwall as massive sulfide sheets. The massive and disseminated sulfide mineralization at E&L comprises a classic assemblage of pyrrhotite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite. The majority of the pentlandite is granular in habit. The sulfides are devoid of deleterious elements that might affect process technology. The Ni grades are considerably higher than the vast majority of contact type ore deposits at Sudbury as well as the massive sulfides at Noril’sk and Voisey’s Bay.

A geological model for the E&L intrusion and associated mineral zones relates the injection of magma into cross-linking transtensional structures that may have acted as “magma highways”. These fault zones are known to play an important role in controlling mineralized intrusions in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt in China, where multiple small intrusions that are heavily endowed with nickel sulfide mineralization are developed along similar structures. Similar structures also played a role in the evolution of many other un-deformed nickel sulfide ore deposits.

Exploration will continue on Garibaldi’s E&L Property in search of additional discoveries adjacent to the massive sulfide mineral zones and at depth in the E&L intrusion as well as untested regional VTEM targets.

GOLDEN PREDATOR MINING CORP.

THE 3 ACES PROJECT: OROGENIC GOLD MODEL IN SOUTHEAST YUKON

Mark Shutty, Senior Geologist; Janet Sheriff, CEO; William Sheriff, Executive Chairman

The 3 Aces Project is host to high-grade gold in quartz veins; frequently with visible gold. Extensive gold-in-soil anomalies define the 13.5km2 Central Core Area (CCA) (Spades, Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds Zones), which has been the focus of our continuing drill program. Gold occurs in a number of veins over more than 760m of exposed stratigraphy.

Extensive drilling has returned high grade intercepts such as 13.1 m of 16.75 g/t gold and 13.75 m of 65.31 g/t gold; 16.2 m of 20.5 g/t gold and 8 m of 50.4 g/t gold. The CCA has gold occurrences found over 762 m (2,500 feet) of relief. The year-round road accessible project contains 357 km2 covering a 35 km long trend featuring anomalous gold in soils along a neo-Proterozoic rock suite consisting of a polydeformed stratigraphic sequence of metasedimentary rock which hosts orogenic gold veins. At least six significant mineralized areas have been identified along the trend with the CCA being most advanced.

Numerous visible gold occurrences exist within sub-parallel, shallow-dipping structural planes outcropping within the Spades, Hearts and Clubs Zones, as well as, at the Diamonds Zone, higher in the stratigraphic section. Fall 2017 drilling confirmed high-grade gold mineralization at depth, and established mineralization continuity between the Hearts and Clubs Zones along a 1.6km structural corridor consisting of an upper and lower shear zone, separated vertically by approx. 50m, trending 330 degrees with a moderate dip to the NE. The Hearts-Clubs structural corridor projects at least 1.2km to the northwest remaining open at depth. Additional drilling will target the down-dip projection of the Hearts Zone to establish continuity with the Spades Zone some 1km away. Polished drill core to be displayed at Roundup 2018 is large diameter (85mm, PQ), contains visible gold, and is sourced from Golden Predator’s 2017 grade confirmation drilling program at both Hearts and Spades Zones. These samples are characteristic of mineralization at 3 Aces, containing quartz, gold ± arsenopyrite in veins occurring at lithologic/rheologic contact between fine and coarse-grained rocks and as stockworks within a brittle sandstone unit.

Highlights from the holes on display include: 3A17-131 intersected 13.75m of 65.31 g/t gold, and 4.55 m of 46.90 g/t gold, including 0.95 m of 209 g/t gold, 3A17-133 intersected 6.0m of 15.98 g/t gold, including 1.5m of 49.93 g/t gold, and 16.2m of 20.5 g/t gold, including 5.1m of 57.77 g/t gold, 3A17-138 intersected 1.5m of 8.31 g/t gold, and 8.0m of 50.4 g/t gold, including 1.0m of 156.0 g/t gold, 3A16-082 intersected 13.07m of 16.75 g/t gold, including 3.38m of 61.74 g/t gold, including 0.54 m of 315.00 g/t gold.

Initial metallurgical testing indicated 80%+ recovery from simple gravity processing, confirmed with our 776 metric tonne bulk sample.

GOLD STANDARD VENTURES CORP.

EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT SUCCESS IN THE RAILROAD-PINION DISTRICT ON NEVADA’S CARLIN TREND

Mac R. Jackson; Robert J. Edie; Rebecca A. Goddard; Michael T. Harp; Donald A. Harris; Steven R. Koehler and Melanie N. Newton, Gold Standard Ventures Corp.

During 2017, Gold Standard Ventures Corp. (GSV) initiated development work on the Pinion and Dark Star oxide gold resources and continued to have exploration success at multiple targets within its Railroad-Pinion property on the Carlin Trend. This year’s accomplishments ranged from the announcement of new gold resources for the Dark Star and North Bullion deposits to the identification and testing of new drill targets within the 80 square km. of new land added to the southern end of GSV’s property. With the recognition of the importance of Pennsylvanian-Permian carbonate rocks as a host for the Dark Star deposit, most of GSV’s exploration effort was focused on identifying and testing prospective structural settings in those underexplored rocks.

The Railroad-Pinion property is centered on a structural dome with prospective carbonate host rocks exposed within the center of the dome and present at shallow depths along the periphery. The most important host horizons for Carlin-type gold deposits are 1) dissolution collapse breccia developed along the contact between the Devonian Devils Gate Limestone and overlying silty micrite of the Mississippian Tripon Pass Formation and 2) calcareous debris flow conglomerates within Pennsylvanian-Permian overlap sequence carbonate rocks. An Eocene intrusive center composed of intermediate through felsic rocks ranging in age from 38.9 to 37.4 Ma, respectively, forms the core of the Railroad dome (Henry, 2015). High-angle faults, low-angle thrust faults, and folds all exert important district and deposit-scale control on gold mineralization. Two high definition, 8 km. seismic lines were completed in 2017 and show that the Pinion and Dark Star deposits occur in parasitic folds and axial planar faults above deep-seated anticlines in a fold and thrust belt.

Highlights of GSV’s 2017 program include: a 60% increase in our land position on the Carlin Trend to 208 square km., a new oxide gold resource for Dark Star, an average oxide gold recovery of 86.5% for Dark Star column leach tests, a maiden oxide-mixed-sulfide gold resource for North Bullion, acquisition and initiation of exploration on the 22 square km. Lewis property immediately north of Newmont’s Phoenix Pit in the Battle Mountain district, continued high-grade oxide intercepts at Dark Star (136 meters of 2.67 g Au/t), discovery of a new gold zone to the west of North Bullion (41.7m of 1.91g Au/t including 7.6m of 6.32g Au/t) and a shallow core intercept of 104 meters of 0.56 g Au/t at Jasperoid Wash - a new target on our southern land acquisition. In 2018, GSV plans to continue with an aggressive exploration program and accelerate development work and infill drilling at the Pinion and Dark Star oxide resources.

GT GOLD CORP.

SADDLE: AN EXCITING NEW HIGH-GRADE GOLD-SILVER DISCOVERY IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE OF NORTHWEST BRITISH COLUMBIA

The Saddle gold-silver discovery lies within 10 kilometres of paved highway 37 and within a similar distance from grid power. Two broad styles of mineralization have been identified to date: high-grade epithermal gold-silver, and porphyry copper-gold +/- silver. These styles occur along two roughly east-west trending km-scale anomalous geochemical and geophysical trends, Saddle South and Saddle North. Epithermal mineralization, which has been the main target to date, occurs along the length of the Saddle South trend and toward the western end of the Saddle North trend, while porphyry-style mineralization appears to be restricted to Saddle North and toward its eastern end.

Epithermal-style mineralization is of transitional low sulphidation type, with higher-grade sections characterized by semi-massive to massive quartz-carbonate sulphide veins and veinlets, as well as quartz-carbonate vein-breccias. Sulphides consist mainly of pyrite with subordinate sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and local sulphosalts. The vein systems intersected to date show excellent grades across significant widths, and they display good continuity. The immediate host rocks also display significant amounts of disseminated to aggregate pyrite on the mm- to cm-scale and this wallrock “support” also appears to carry gold. Closely associated alteration consists of sericite, carbonate (commonly Fe carbonate?), silica and chlorite. Host rocks to the mineralizing epithermal systems consist of fragmental volcanic and subordinate volcaniclastic rocks, most probably belonging to the lower part of the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group.

The porphyry-style mineralization along the Saddle North trend is largely hosted by Early Jurassic(?) monzonitic intrusive rocks that have intruded Hazelton Group and underlying Upper Triassic Stuhini Group rocks, and the gold and copper values are not associated with the suite of pathfinder elements typically found with epithermal-style mineralization (Zn, Pb, As, Cu, Sb, Bi) found farther west at Saddle North and at Saddle South. Rather, they bear greater similarities to largely intrusive-hosted mineralization in nearby Cu-Au porphyry systems, such as North Rok and Castle (Colorado Resources) and the Red-Chris deposit (Imperial Metals), which all lie less than 25 kilometres distant.

IDM MINING

IDM MINING’S RED MOUNTAIN PROJECT: HIGH-GRADE HYDROTHERMAL GOLD AND SILVER IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE

Robert McLeod, President, CEO and Director, IDM Mining; Christopher Smith, Junior Geologist, IDM Mining

IDM Mining’s Red Mountain Project, located 15km east of the town of Stewart in Northwest BC, lies along the western edge of a complex northwest trending structural culmination formed during the Cretaceous. Discovered in 1989 the property was explored extensively until 1996 by Lac Minerals Ltd. and Royal Oak Mines Ltd, with 466 diamond drill holes (130,000m) and over 2,000 meters of underground development. Additional work was completed by North American Metals Corp., and Banks Island Gold Ltd. Since acquiring the project in 2014, IDM Mining has undertaken an exploration program involving mapping, sampling, and 190 underground and surface drill holes (40,000m).

Bedded sediments and volcaniclastics were folded forming the northwest-southeast trending Bitter Creek antiform, which is the focus of the Red Mountain ore deposits. The trend of the antiform is followed by the approximate contact between the Triassic-aged Stuhini Group, and the Jurassic-aged clastic units of the Hazelton Group, with increasing volcanic influence up-section. The stratigraphy indicates a rapid marine transgression into a relatively deep seaway that was proximal to the ancient North American land mass and offshore volcanic island chains.

Two phases of early Jurassic intrusions, named the Hillside and Goldslide porphyries are exposed on the property. The two phases are differentiated by mineralogy, texture, and geochemistry and likely represent fractionation and depletion of a shared magmatic source over time. The Hillside Porphyry is a fine to medium grained horneblende-plagioclase intrusive, which intruded into wet sediments forming complex pepperitic margins and phreatic events, evidenced by pebble dykes. Hillside textural evolution is a smooth continuum, whereby wall rock clasts were mixed with the intrusive material, altered under pressure to form dissolution seams, and became completely assimilated into the magma. The intermixing with carbonaceous Hazelton sediments appears significant in providing the chemical conditions favorable to sulfide-formation associated with gold mineralization.

Gold-silver mineralization is characterized by irregular sulphide-rich stockwork vein systems in strongly sericite altered Hillside porphyry and rafts of sedimentary and volcanoclastic rocks associated with the emplacement of the Hillside unit. The ore bodies, are formed into crudely tabular, northwesterly trending and moderately to steeply southwesterly dipping zones within the Hillside Porphyry, volcanoclastic-sedimentary contact zones, and intrusive breccias. The main gold bearing sulphide mineral is pyrite; with pyrrhotite being locally important. Alteration is overlapping and gradational, and weakens in intensity laterally to the southwest of the property.

Influence from hydrothermal systems is responsible for the alteration and mineralization found at Red Mountain. Development occurred with pre-ore tourmaline alteration, then early/pre-ore stockwork vein development, syn-ore fracture controlled alteration and mineralization, and late/post ore fracture controlled mineralization and alteration.

The recently discovered, cretaceous to early Eocene Lost Valley Monzonite, is found on the southern portion of the property at McAdam point and Lost Valley, which until recently was under glacial ice. Initial observations show a


42

highly variable range of textures which have likely been formed partly due to “nested” structures from different phases of intrusion, and host gold and mineralization, further exemplifying the exploration potential of the property.

IVANHOE MINES

IVANHOE MINES’ KAKULA COPPER DISCOVERY – A TRULY WORLD-CLASS DEPOSIT ON THE CENTRAL AFRICAN COPPERBELT

David Edwards, Geology Manager, Kamoa-Kakula Copper Project; Stephen Torr, Ivanhoe Mines’ Vice President, Project Geology and Evaluation; George Gilchrist, Mineral Resources Manager; David Broughton, Senior Advisor, Exploration and Geology

Kakula is a high-grade, giant, (>2Mt copper) stratiform copper deposit discovered by Ivanhoe on the Kamoa mining licence in the Central African Copperbelt in the DRC. When first presented at Roundup in January 2017, mineralization at Kakula had been defined by 24,000 metres of drilling along 4 kilometres of strike length. Progressively larger step-out drilling was successfully completed during 2017, prompting a 3.8 kilometre step-out programme to target interpreted shallow mineralization at Kakula West, with just the second drill hole (DD1124) intersecting 8.9 metres at 5.83% copper (at a 3% cut-off). At the time of writing the overall zone has been expanded to more than twelve kilometres in length and remains open in both directions.

Kakula West represents the intersection of the Kakula trend with the southwesterly-northeasterly-trending Kakula West antiform. Ongoing drilling at Kakula West has confirmed that it shares the same lithological controls and mineralization characteristics as Kakula. Copper mineralization is typically bottom-loaded, with the highest grades occurring in a chalcocite-rich, approximately two to six metre-thick subunit of grey sandstone-siltstone; a subunit key to the exceptional grade and continuity of both Kakula and Kakula West. At Kakula West, this unit can thicken to over 40 metres in locally developed syn-sedimentary grabens.

In May 2017, approximately 65,000 metres of drilling over 12.8 square kilometres defined Indicated Mineral Resources of 349 Mt at 3.23% copper and Inferred Resources of 59 Mt at 2.26% copper. What sets Kakula apart from most other giant copper deposits is its lateral and vertical continuity at elevated cut-offs: within the larger resource, Kakula contains Indicated Resources of 116Mt of 6.09% copper and Inferred Resources of 12Mt at 4.45% copper, both at a 3% cut-off. Kakula West is yet to be included in the Mineral Resource, however drilling results confirm continuity of mineralization between Kakula and Kakula West.

Kakula is Ivanhoe’s second major discovery on the mining licence, and the Kamoa-Kakula Project now is the largest copper discovery on the African continent and ranks among the five largest copper deposits in the world.

Kakula and Kakula West are thick, relatively flat-lying zones of high-grade, stratiform copper mineralization at the redox boundary between the host Grand Conglomerate Formation and underlying redbeds of the Mwashya Subgroup – the same stratigraphic position as the Kamoa deposit. As at Kamoa, sulphides are generally finely disseminated and coarsely replace clast rims, and display a vertical-upwards hypogene mineral zonation from chalcocite to bornite to chalcopyrite to pyrite.

Initial mine development is in progress at Kakula to access mineralization less than 300 metres below surface that is doubly plunging, gently towards the northwest and the southeast.

KENNADY DIAMONDS INC.

THE GEOLOGY AND EVALUATION OF THE KELVIN AND FARADAY KIMBERLITE PIPES, NWT, CANADA

Martina Bezzola, Lindsay Nelson, Dan Gainer, Gary Vivian and Chris Hrkac, Aurora Geosciences Ltd; Casey Hetman and Michael Diering, SRK Consulting; Gareth Garlick and Tom Nowicki, Mineral Services Canada; Robert Creaser, University of Alberta

The Kelvin and Faraday kimberlite pipes are located in the southeast of the Archean Slave Craton in Northern Canada, 8 and 10 kilometres, respectively, northeast of the Gahcho Kué diamond mine. Kimberlite was first discovered by De Beers Canada Inc. at Kelvin and Faraday Lakes between the mid-1990’s and early 2000’s. The Kelvin pipe has a late Proterozoic to early Cambrian age and although no age dating has been undertaken at the Faraday pipes, they are assumed to be an equivalent age.

Kennady Diamonds Inc. (KDI), between 2013 and 2015, discovered significant thicknesses of volcaniclastic kimberlite that had not previously been observed. Since early 2014, until mid-2017, KDI has delineated and evaluated the Kelvin, Faraday 2, Faraday 3 and Faraday 1 kimberlite pipes. Extensive drilling has delineated these four kimberlite bodies to have an atypical, irregular-shaped, sub-horizontal and inclined pipe morphology. The kimberlite bodies generally are inclined at 15-30° but can be up to 40°. An intriguing feature of these unconventional pipes is the small surface area representing the exposure of these pipes to surface.

The Kelvin kimberlite extends over 700 metres, is 70-200 metres in height and 30-70 metres in width. The Faraday pipes vary in length from 200 to 600 metres, in vertical thickness from 20 to 60 metres and in width from 20-150 metres.

The pipe infills at Kelvin, Faraday 2 and Faraday 3 comprise several phases of sub-horizontally layered kimberlite resulting from multiple emplacement events. Infill is dominated by volcaniclastic kimberlite, classified as “Kimberley-type pyroclastic” (KPK), with less common coherent kimberlite (CK), or hypabyssal phase and minor components of transitional textures to these end-members. Coherent kimberlite increases in volume within the Faraday kimberlite cluster to the northeast.

Faraday 1 is the least mature volcanic system of the four identified pipes. Faraday 1 comprises much less volcaniclastic material, significantly more coherent kimberlite and visibly more marginal breccia.

Detailed logging and petrographic studies have allowed KDI to establish well constrained 3-D geological models for the Kelvin, Faraday 2, Faraday 3 and Faraday 1 pipes. RC bulk sampling (1,700 tonnes) has allowed KDI to provide a mineral resource statement for the Kennady North Project and a TFFE for the Faraday 1 pipe.

The current mineral resource for the Kennady North Project stands at an Indicated Resource of 8.5 million tonnes, grading 1.6 cpt for 13.62 million carats and an Inferred Resource of 3.27 million tonnes grading 1.54 cpt for 5.02 million carats.

There is a TFFE (target for further exploration) on Faraday 1 estimated to be between 0.6 and 1.2 million tonnes grading between 1.5 and 3.7 carats per tonne.


46

Late in 2017, KDI confirmed the Faraday 3 and 1 bodies coalesce and as such are now referred to as one body (Faraday 1-3).

MAPLE GOLD MINES LTD

DOUAY PROJECT: ONE OF THE LARGEST, AND GROWING, SYENITE-RELATED GOLD SYSTEMS IN THE ABITIBI GREENSTONE BELT

Fred Speidel, VP, Exploration; David Broughton, Co-chair, Technical Advisory Committee

The Douay Gold Project is located within the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt (AGB) in the southern part of northern Quebec. The Project covers an area of more that 370km2 with an established resource of 2.8MOz @1.05 g/t Au at a 0.5 g/t cut-off. The existing resource, established along a 5.4km strike length along the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone (CBDZ), remains open in multiple directions within a property position that includes a 55km segment of the (CBDZ). The property has never been mined, and much of it remains relatively unexplored, despite its location along a major regional structure.

The first gold discovery at the Douay Gold Project was made by Inco Ltd in 1976 at what is currently called the Main Zone. Since then, more than 220,000 metres of drilling have been completed on the project, including ~66,000m of drilling by Maple Gold (formerly Aurvista) after acquiring the Project in 2011. This work has permitted the definition of several additional resource areas. Micon International performed a resource estimate update in early 2017 and an additional ~23,000m of drilling was completed later in the same year.

Douay belongs to the syenite-associated sub-class of intrusive-related (IRGS) gold deposits, which includes several large nearby mines in the AGB, notably Canadian Malartic (314Mt @ 1.07 g/t Au). The area is also prospective for more typical AGB orogenic gold deposits (structurally controlled gold-quartz veins and veinlets) as well as for volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) deposits.

The Douay deposit lies at a major lithotectonic break, characterized by a northern corridor of tuffs of felsic to intermediate compositions, with lesser sedimentary rocks; the central, often highly deformed, ~3 km wide Douay mineralization corridor within the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone (CBDZ) which includes a variety of syenitic intrusions, basalts, and felsic volcanic rocks; and a southern corridor of mostly basalts with local siliceous chemical sedimentary rocks and pipe-like chloritic-sulphide zones that could reflect the presence of a VMS-type system. The volcanic stratigraphy strikes WNW to ESE whereas the major regional fault zones strike E-W.

Existing drill data shows multiple higher-grade zones, including Douay West, within and near an elongated intrusive complex consisting of syenite and quartz syenite with lesser carbonatite over an area of at least 7.7 x 1.5 km. Gold mineralization hosted by altered mafic volcanic wallrocks is generally of higher grade, occurring in zones such as Douay West (4.47 Mt @ 2.36 g/t Au), whereas gold hosted by altered porphyritic rocks forms large lower-grade zones such as the Porphyry Zone (72.16 Mt @ 0.96 g/t Au), both at a 0.5 g/t Au cutoff.

The Douay intrusive complex is dated at 2679Ma, reflecting a (late) syntectonic emplacement during the AGB’s terminal collision phase. Several additional syenite bodies exist elsewhere on the property, including the 6.0 x 0.6km NE Syenite Target. A winter drilling program is underway and targets areas prospective for new discoveries, such as the NE Syenite, and extensions to known mineralization.

MARATHON GOLD CORPORATION

MARATHON’S VALENTINE LAKE PROPERTY – A DEVELOPING MULTI MILLION OUNCE GOLD CAMP IN CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND

P. Walford and S. Dunsworth

Marathon Gold Corporation’s 100% owned Valentine Lake Property hosts four NI 43-101 compliant orogenic-type structurally controlled gold deposits and numerous gold occurrences. The gold, in quartz-tourmaline-pyrite (QTP) veining cutting quartz porphyry and trondhjemite host rocks of the late Proterozoic (562 MA) Valentine Lake Intrusive Suite, occurs proximal to the more than 30+ km strike length of the Valentine Lake Thrust Fault. This major fault forms part of a deep crustal suture that extends NE-SW through central Newfoundland, forming part of the root system of the Appalachian Mountain Belt, and providing an extensive conduit for the migration of the CO2 – rich gold-bearing fluids which gave rise to the Valentine Lake gold deposits.

Marathon Gold Corporation became the operator of the 24,000-hectare Valentine Lake property in 2010 and since that time has discovered the Marathon and Sprite gold deposits, enlarged the Leprechaun and Victory gold deposits, exposed a multitude of new gold occurrences in trenching along a 20-km strike length associated with multiple first-order splay faults off the Valentine Lake thrust fault, and developed a structural model for the evolution of this gold camp. Additional gold occurrences have recently been found along the same structural trend northeast of the Valentine Lake property.

The November 2017 published NI 43-101 compliant, mainly open pit constrained resource for the Valentine Lake Gold Camp totaled 1,847,000 oz. gold at 1.88 g/t (Measured & Indicated) and 1,012,000 oz. gold at 1.65 g/t (Inferred), (April 2015). All the deposits located on the property to date are open along strike and to depth. The Marathon Deposit is potentially the largest having been traced with shallow holes for 1.5 km along surface and to depths of 1 km and is still open along strike and to depth.

Metallurgical testing on material from the Leprechaun and Marathon deposits achieved 98% recoveries using standard milling processes and cyanidation. In addition, initial heap leach testing obtained preliminary recoveries in the range of 70% from column tests on the Leprechaun and Marathon material which comprise more than 90% of the current resources. A PEA is underway with consideration being given to open pit and underground mining as well as different mill and heap leach combinations to maximize the economic value of the project.

METALLIC MINERALS

METALLIC MINERALS’ KENO SILVER PROJECT

Scott Petsel, Vice President, Exploration Metallic Minerals Corp.; Debbie James, Senior Geologist, Metallic Minerals Corp.

Metallic Minerals completed its initial exploration program at the Keno Silver Property in 2017. Twelve target areas on the property were prioritized for initial follow-up work, with three of these advanced to the drill targeting stage which commenced in July. A total of 1,320 meters of diamond drill core was collected from 14 holes drilled on areas prioritized during initial exploration work, which also included 2,284 soil and rock samples, 493 meters of excavator trenching in 18 pits and trenches, 129-line kilometres of ground geophysics and satellite photogrammetry.

Drilling was focused on three high-grade targets areas; Homestake, Caribou and Duncan. The objective at the Caribou and Duncan targets was to drill below the shallow historic mining and sampling on the structure to determine the potential of the systems to host significant high-grade silver-lead-zinc deposits and to provide vectors to assist follow-up exploration. The results clearly show that the Caribou target is a classic Keno-type high-grade system with bonanza grades, such as hole CH017-023, which intercepted 1.6 meters grading 2,851 g/t silver equivalent (1,405 Ag g/t, 26% Pb, 3.7% Zinc and 0.28 g/t Au), and that the system is open to further expansion down dip to the north and south.

The Homestake targets are multiple vein structures within a broad structural corridor nearly 200 metres wide, with both longitudinal and transverse-style veins. The Homestake #1 vein shows classic Keno style, high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization, whereas the #2 vein also shows significantly elevated gold, which is characteristic of some structures in the larger deposits within the Keno Hill silver district. The strongest grades to date include assays of 4,027 g/t silver from drilling and 4,717 g/t silver from trenching on the Homestake #1 vein, and 22.1 g/t gold with 332 g/t silver from trenching on the Homestake #2 vein. The Homestake vein systems are exposed at the surface and are open to further expansion down dip and along trend.

Over 200 million ounces of silver have been mined in the Keno Hill silver district over the past 100 years at an average grade exceeding 1,300 grams/tonne, making it one of the largest and richest silver producing districts in the world. Keno type silver deposits consist of high-grade silver-lead-zinc veins typically 1-5 metres in width, grading from 200 g/t to over 5,000 g/t silver. The largest individual deposits in the district, which range from 10 million to 100 million ounces of contained silver, are associated with northeast trending, southeast dipping fault/vein structures which form major ore shoots in the preferred quartzite and greenstone host rocks. To date, there are twelve known mineralized trends in the Keno Hill silver district, eight of which continue through the eastern portion of the district, which hosts Metallic Minerals' Keno Lightning property.

2018 looks to be a promising year for the Keno Silver Project with follow-up drilling and exploration planned on the Homestake, Caribou and Duncan target areas, as well as at the newly identified Gold Hill, Bounty, Formo and Silver Queen targets.

MIDAS GOLD CORP.

STIBNITE GOLD PROJECT - INTEGRATION OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY DATASETS FOR MINE DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

Stephen P. Quin, CEO, Midas Gold Corp.; Christopher Dail, Exploration Manager, Midas Gold Idaho, Inc.

Midas Gold Corp.’s Stibnite Gold Project, located in central Idaho, is undergoing permitting for mine development and a feasibility study is due for completion later in 2018.

Extensive deposit-, district- and regional-scale geologic research has been undertaken by Midas Gold and its research partners to outline the relationships between structure, alteration assemblages, mineralization and various intrusive events spanning the period from around 90Ma to 35Ma for exploration needs and integration into mine development planning. Isotopic dating of igneous rock zircons; metamorphic minerals (garnet, rutile, sphene); gangue (illite, adularia, microcline); and secondary ore minerals (scheelite and molybdenite) have proven invaluable to development of the current, but still evolving, geologic model and paragenesis.

New isotopic dating work indicates a much broader timeframe for mineralization than previously recognized and ties into recent district- and regional-scale geologic mapping that suggests that the district lies along a previously unrecognized crustal-scale feature that has been reactivated repeatedly, producing the complex assemblages observed in the area’s deposits. Differences in age, estimated fluid compositions, temperatures and the resulting alteration and mineralization, show distinct differences between disseminated Au-Ag mineralization, breccia-hosted mineralization and later vein- and late-stage breccia hosted Sb-W mineralization.

Other work includes fluid inclusion studies, SWIR, optical and SEM petrography and application of various diagnostic tools (QEMS, DSIMS, MLA) associated with feasibility-level metallurgical testing. These interdisciplinary datasets are helping unravel the complicated paragenesis of the district and have resulted in some regionally significant surprises from a metallogenesis standpoint. Ongoing deposit-scale work includes identification and definition of geo-metallurgical/geo-environmental units based on newly developed structural and alteration models for the main intrusive-hosted deposits at Yellow Pine and Hangar Flats, and the sediment-hosted deposit at West End.

Core from recent (2017) in-fill drilling at the Hangar Flats Deposit, along the western border of the proposed open pit, intercepted high-grade Au-Ag-Sb-W mineralization typical of the style and tenor of mineralization mined historically underground in the Meadow Creek Mine in the 1920s-1930s including 14m averaging 4.8g/t Au, 100g/t Ag, 3.3% Sb and 0.2% W within a broader 50m wide zone averaging 3.2g/t Au, 36g/t Ag and 1.2% Sb. At Yellow Pine, the best hole ever reported by Midas Gold intersected 3.2g/t Au, 6.1g/t Ag and 0.3% Sb over 217m, including multiple high-grade Sb intercepts and confirming the new and still developing structural model for the Yellow Pine Deposit. Core from this latest drilling and other key holes will be on display at the core shack.

NIGHTHAWK GOLD CORP.

COLOMAC HIGH-GRADE GOLD MINERALIZATION

Dr. Michael Byron, President & CEO, Nighthawk Gold Corp.

Nighthawk Gold Corp. is a Canadian based mineral exploration company currently focused on advancing its Indin Lake Gold Property, a 222,205-acre land package located 200 kilometres north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories within the Indin Lake Gold Camp.

An Inferred Mineral Resource estimate of 2.101 million oz gold at a 1.64 g/t gold average grade (0.6 g/t gold cut-off) is defined at its Colomac Gold Project. Only a small portion of the mineralized Colomac and Goldcrest intrusions are captured by this 2013 estimate, leaving an underexplored and highly prospective deposit that hosts several newly discovered extensive, high-grade gold zones, and broad domains of lower grade mineralization.

Nighthawk’s model for gold mineralization, as confirmed by geochemical studies on Colomac drill core sampled during its 2012 and 2014 exploration programs, is after that of the Golden Mile gold deposits, Kalgoorlie, Western Australia; all are hosted by differentiated mafic sills of similar age with a more sodic, siliceous, and brittle, upper portion amenable to clean fracturing, fluid transport, and mineral deposition, and within which gold is preferentially concentrated. Differentiated mafic intrusions are known to contain significant gold deposits, and Kalgoorlie’s Golden Mile dolerite is one of the world’s largest with production in excess of 60 million ounces of gold to date.

The Colomac sill displays a fine to medium-grained, felsic to intermediate (quartz diorite) upper portion and a medium to coarse-grained (gabbroic) mafic base. Gold is concentrated within the sodic and silica-rich upper portion of the sill, which behaved in a brittle manner during regional structural deformation providing depositional sites for gold. This is in contrast to the ductile behavior of the (gabbroic) lower portion of the sill and the surrounding mafic volcanic rocks. The identification of hydrothermal breccias within the quartz diorite is consistent with Nighthawk observations at other Colomac Zones, and is further visual evidence of hydro-fracturing and the (precursor to) mineralization proposed by Nighthawk for Colomac.

Kalgoorlie hosts higher grade gold zones, but at Colomac the existence of similar distinct zones had not been documented until Nighthawk’s discovery of Zone 1.5 in 2014, a well constrained, high-grade domain targeted based on the Kalgoorlie model. Results of Nighthawk’s 2017 drill program have extended the near surface dimensions of Zone 1.5 to be upwards of 200 metres long, 30 to 50 metres in true width, extending from surface to 350 metres, and open to depth. Better 2016-17 results from Zone 1.5 include hole C16-03B, which cut 72.65 metres (50 metres true width) of 5.58 g/t gold, including 17.80 metres of 17.72 g/t gold, and C17-08, which returned 55.35 m (51.00 m true width) of 3.00 g/t gold, including 19.50 m of 5.58 g/t gold, and 6.80 m of 10.45 g/t gold.

The Company has identified similar bodies at Zone 3.5 and Zone 2.0, and testing other possibilities along strike.

NORTH ARROW MINERALS INC

KIMBERLITES OF THE MELVILLE PENINSULA, NU (NAUJAAT AND MEL PROJECTS)

The 10,700 ha Naujaat Diamond Project is located on the Rae Isthmus of the southern Melville Peninsula, only 9 km north of the Hamlet of Naujaat (formerly Repulse Bay), Nunavut. The project hosts the 12.5 hectare Q1-4 kimberlite, the largest diamondiferous kimberlite pipe in the eastern Canadian Arctic. Discovered by BHPB Diamonds in 2003, Q1-4 has an Inferred Mineral Resource that is estimated to be 26.1 million carats (assumes 100% recovery) from 48.8 million tonnes, with an average +1 DTC total diamond content of 53.6 carats per hundred tonnes (cpht) extending to a modelled depth of 205 m below surface.

North Arrow is currently halfway through a two-stage delineation drilling and bulk-sampling program intended to better define the kimberlite’s shape, geology and diamond grade models. Portions of the kimberlite beneath lakes will be drilled in the spring of 2018 when better access to specific areas of the body can be achieved by drilling from lake ice. Once completed, North Arrow intends to update the NI 43-101 resource statement down to a depth of 305 m below surface.

Q1-4 is the largest kimberlite within the Naujaat kimberlite cluster. It is interpreted as a complex, steep-sided, diatreme to root-zone kimberlite, comprised of a mixture of volcaniclastic and coherent rock types. The geology of this kimberlite has been determined using detailed logging of drill core and results of petrographic studies. Q1-4 consists of five main pipe infills in order from west to east: A48a, A48b, A88a, A61a and A28a. In addition to the five main kimberlite rock types infilling the pipe, a number of hypabyssal kimberlite dykes have also been discovered throughout the body.

MEL DIAMOND PROJECT

The Mel Diamond Project consists of approximately 56,000 hectares located in southeastern Melville Peninsula, approximately 140 km south of the community of Hall Beach and 210 km northeast of the community of Naujaat (formerly Repulse Bay) and North Arrow's Naujaat Diamond Project. The property is located within 20 km of tidewater and hosts two target areas (Mel North and Mel South) with anomalous kimberlite indicator mineral ("KIM") abundances in glacial till. . Identified KIMs include purple (pyrope) and orange (eclogitic) garnets, ilmenite, and chromite. Infill and up-ice till sampling on the Mel North area was conducted in short summer programs from 2013 to 2016 leading to a well-defined cut-off of at least three distinct indicator trains.

Kimberlite was discovered during a 2017 prospecting program focused on potential source areas defined within Mel North. Kimberlite float was discovered in two areas, including a sub-cropping kimberlite body coincident magnetic anomaly (“ML-8”). A 62 kg sample of ML-8 was processed for microdiamonds using caustic fusion and yielded 23 diamonds larger than the 0.106 mm sieve size, including a single, colourless diamond larger than the 0.85 mm sieve size (see press release dated Oct. 16, 2017).

The ML-8 kimberlite is described as a dark grey-green, medium to ultra-coarse (>1.6 mm) grained coherent kimberlite containing the full suite of KIM’s including abundant olivine as well as common ilmenite, orange to purple garnet and phlogopite.


53

North Arrow has made plans to mobilize a diamond drill to Mel in the spring of 2018. Fuel has also been mobilized in anticipation of a 2018 program of geophysics and drilling to define the size and extent of the discovered kimberlite, and to test additional targets at the up-ice terminations of the remaining unexplained KIM trains.

NORTHERN EMPIRE RESOURCES CORP

THE STERLING GOLD PROJECT: AN EMERGING GOLD DISTRICT IN NEVADA’S WALKER LANE

Michael G. Allen, Northern Empire Resources Corp.; Richard Histed, Rockford Mining (USA)

Spanning from Arizona to Oregon the Walker Lane is one of the most prolific gold terrains in the United States. Trending to the North-West, the Walker Lane represents part of the the collisional zone between the North American Craton and exotic terrains docking into the craton, forming what is now California. In excess of 50 million ounces of gold have been produced, from such notable names as, Castle Mountain, Bullfrog, and Round Mountain.

Northern Empire through its subsidiary, Rockford Mining, have been actively exploring the Sterling Project after acquiring it in early 2017. The total project area is 116 square kilometers.

The Sterling Project consists of 4 separate deposits, broken into two distinct projects.

The Sterling Gold Mine is located to the south, on the Eastern Flank of the Bare Mountains. The Crown Project consists of the Daisy, Secret Pass and SNA deposit, and is located in the northern part of the claim package, on the Northern Flank of the Bare Mountains. Mineralization is hosted in Carlin-type and Epithermal deposits.

The Sterling Gold Mine is a structurally hosted Carlin-type deposit. Mineralization is largely hosted in the Sterling Thrust, which placed relatively impermeable Wood Canyon Formation above the Bonanza King Formation. -High angle North – South structures are thought to be the source of mineralizing fluids, which pooled at the permeable fault contact. Historically, the Sterling orebody was exploited through underground mining techniques with a head grade of 7.44 g/t Au placed on the leach pad. The current pit constrained inferred resource of the Sterling gold mine is 231,000 oz at 3.67 g/t Au, making it one of the highest grade open pit targets in the western USA. Historic recoveries from mining operations at the Sterling Gold mine have been 88%+, with run of mine and truck stacking. The Sterling Gold Mine is permitted to recommence operations. Several exploration opportunities remain to be evaluated at the Sterling Gold Mine. Northern Empire will be displaying core from the Sterling Gold Mine, showing examples of the shallow, high grade mineralization that remain.

The Crown Project hosts the Daisy, Secret Pass and SNA deposits. Daisy and Secret Pass were open pit mined in the late 1990s by Glamis and Rayrock, prior to being shut down due to low gold prices. All the deposits remain open for expansion in all directions. Daisy and SNA are Carlin-type deposits while Secret Pass is an Epithermal. Deposits in the Crown Project appear to be related to the East-West trending Flourspar Canyon Detachment Fault, a district scale structure that also hosted the Bullfrog Mine which produced 2.3 million oz Au from open pit and underground operations.

In addition to the known deposits, Northern Empire’s exploration efforts have identified the potential for large Carlin-type deposits on the property. To the west of the SNA deposit, a large area of Roberts Mountain and Lone Mountain dolomites have been mapped and sample. The highest grade surface sample in this area returned 2.65 g/t Au.


55

In 2018 initial work will consist of drilling approximately 15,000 meters in 50 holes on the Sterling Property, the majority of the work being focused in the Crown Project.

NOVO RESOURCES CORP.

KARRATHA PALEOPLACER GOLD DISCOVERY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Quinton Hennigh, Chairman and President, Novo Resources Corp.

In late 2016, a gold rush took place approximately 50 km south of the town of Karratha in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Metal detectorists discovered gold nuggets along a NE-trending, 8 km-long corridor originating at the 50 km mark on the Karratha-Tom Price highway. Early in 2017, Novo Resources Corp determined the nuggets were derived from weathered Archean conglomerate horizons at the base of the Archean Fortescue Group. After staking approximately 7,000 sq km covering parts of the prospective Fortescue basin, Novo struck additional land deals over subsequent months growing its position to approximately 10,000 sq km by late August, 2017. In July, Novo announced the discovery of in situ gold nuggets in conglomerate at the Purdy’s Reward prospect, a place where the gold-bearing conglomerates daylight along a series of low, rolling hills. Metallurgical test work performed on this bulk sample determined most gold is coarse taking the form of flattened water-worn nuggets. A calculated head grade of 67 gpt Au was determined for this sample. In addition to coarse gold, Novo has recognized a component of fine gold occurring in 1-3 mm wide halos of particles surrounding nuggets. Such fine gold is likely a product of chemical remobilization following burial.

Gold-bearing conglomerates lie unconformably on older basement rocks of the Pilabra Craton. Mafic igneous rock boulders and cobbles dominate clast composition of gold-bearing conglomerates. Vein quartz, metamorphic rock and granitic clasts are also present, but minor. Sandy matrix is comprised of quartz and particles of mafic rock. Pillowed and autobrecciated Mt. Roe basalt lies conformably atop the gold-bearing conglomerate package and is believed to be penecontemporaneous with sedimentation based upon observations of pepperitic contacts between basalt and sediment. If correct, these conglomerates would be similar in age to the Mt. Roe basalt, approximately 2.75-2.78 Ga.

Novo is currently exploring the Karratha gold project through aggressive trenching and drilling. Due to the nuggety nature of mineralization, Novo recognizes that bulk sampling is the most critical means of determining grade and potential viability of this unusual gold system. Over the remainder of 2018, Novo plans to utilize diamond core drilling for assessing geology and trenching to obtain bulk samples. Bulk samples are subjected to extensive metallurgical testing to gather processing data as well as determine grade.

NULEGACY GOLD CORPORATION

INTRODUCTION TO THE RED HILL PROPERTY, CORTEZ TREND, EUREKA COUNTY, NEVADA, USA

Roger C. Steininger, Derick Unger, Garrett J. Frey, and Bryan Kellie

NuLegacy Gold Corporation’s exploration program at Red Hill, Nevada, has discovered two Carlin-type gold deposits, the Iceberg and Avocado deposits. Iceberg is a near-surface oxidized gold system located along the north-northwest trending Iceberg fault. The recently discovered Avocado deposit is a sulfide-bearing gold system that shows evidence of hypogene oxidation below 400 m. Through detailed outcrop mapping, rock and soil sampling programs, and geophysical surveys, NuLegacy has identified several other promising gold targets on its 98.5 km2 property in the Cortez Trend.

Outcropping rock at Iceberg is primarily Miocene Northern Nevada Rift basalts and alluvium. Underlying the Rift basalts, drilling has encountered an apparently Eocene-age accumulation of tuffaceous sediments, ash and volcaniclastic rocks.

Stratigraphically below the volcanics are the Devonian Horse Canyon and Wenban formations. The Horse Canyon Formation is a Cortez-area unit consisting of interlayered mudstone, calcareous siltstone, debris flows and minor limestone. The Wenban Formation is a sequence of limestones, turbidites and silty limestones that grade into siltstone and mudstone. All the Devonian units are intruded by felsic to mafic dikes of unknown age.

Gold mineralization at Iceberg has been traced along a north-northwest–trending corridor at least 3 km long, several hundred meters wide and several tens of meters thick in at least three horizons: in the Tertiary volcanics, at the Horse Canyon–Wenban contact zone and deeper in the Wenban. Gold in the upper two horizons is oxidized, whereas some of the deeper mineralization is associated with pyrite.

NuLegacy’s 2017 drill program has located at least two new zones of mineralization. The Serena zone is located 400 meters west of the Iceberg deposit and is hosted at the Horse Canyon-Wenban contact. Additional drilling is planned in 2018 to test for a connection to the Iceberg deposit. Additionally, NuLegacy has located low-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver mineralization in the VIO area, four kilometers west of the Iceberg deposit. This mineralization is hosted in volcanic rocks associated with the Northern Nevada Rift, which transects the Red Hill property. NuLegacy plans to continue exploration focused on expanding the Iceberg and Avocado deposits, as well as, test new exploration targets at VIO, Serena, and Western Slope.

OSISKO MINING

WINDFALL LAKE GOLD PROJECT AND THE DISCOVERY OF THE HIGH GRADE LYNX DEPOSIT

Mathieu Savard, Louis Grenier, Osisko Mining

The Windfall Lake project is an intrusion-related gold deposit located approximately 200 kilometres northeast of Val-d’Or, Abitibi, Quebec. The property occurs within the Urban-Barry Greenstone Belt located in the eastern part of the Abitibi Subprovince, in the Superior Craton.

The Windfall Lake deposit occurs in an ENE-oriented corridor within the east-west Urban-Barry belt that extends over 135 kilometres and is up to 20 kilometres wide. Within that corridor, weakly deformed tholeiitic volcanic rocks (~2718 Ma) dominated by andesites and dacites are intruded by three generations of northeast to east-trending calc-alkalic porphyry dikes and plugs (~2697-2698 Ma). Folding and faulting created a regional trans-tensional event playing an important role in the emplacement of the porphyritic intrusions. The intrusions are intimately associated in space and time with the gold mineralization.

The three generations of porphyritic intrusions, dominated by dyke swarms, occur within a narrow 1.6 Ma time bracket. The first suite, pre-mineralization, is composed of grey fine-grained granodiorite and is characterized by small quartz phenocrysts and xenoliths of the host rocks, including diatreme breccias. Strong potassic alteration is associated to the emplacement of those dikes. The second suite is composed of granodiorite dike swarms characterized by large quartz phenocrysts. This phase is associated with the main gold mineralization event that brought tourmaline-quartz-sericite alteration. The last suite of dikes, post-mineralization, is of shallower dip and composed of reddish, hematized quartz monzonite porphyries crosscutting the previous two suites. Structurally, the first two suites are subvertical, oriented NE and plunge toward NE at 35 degrees while the last phase is oriented NNE and dips 45 degrees towards the SE.

Before Osisko Mining’s involvement in the project, the bulk of gold mineralization occurred in Windfall Main Zone, defined by a series of sub-vertical lenses plunging to the NE along the Zone 27, Caribou, and Mallard corridors. These corridors all present the same style of mineralization: the gold is associated with pyrite occurring as disseminations, stockworks and breccias at the contact between the volcanics and the porphyritic dikes. The mineralized envelopes average 5 metres in thickness and are characterized by strong silica-tourmaline alteration inside a wider sericitic alteration halo.

The 800,000 m drilling program initiated in 2015, and still ongoing, led to the discovery of the Lynx deposit, located to the NE of the Main Zone. The Lynx mineralization differs from the Main zone by its abundance of pervasive silica alteration, lack of pyrite stockworks and relative abundance of visible gold. The Lynx deposit is in complex relationship with the two granodioritic dike phases, older gabbro dykes and the SW dipping Bank fault located to the south of both deposits. The drilling program is also expanding the Underdog zone, a deep mineralized zone located under the Main Zone that is characterized by contact mineralization and silica-pyrite-sericite alteration associated with a composite stock of the three main dike phases.

The Windfall and Lynx deposits represent a well-preserved intrusion-related gold deposit that is part of a larger magmatic – hydrothermal system. Understanding the genesis and the geometry of this system is a key factor for additional gold discoveries in the Urban-Barry greenstone belt.

OTIS GOLD CORP.

KILGORE GOLD PROJECT, IDAHO, USA – DEVELOPING A VOLCANIC-HOSTED EPITHERMAL GOLD DEPOSIT

Craig Lindsay, Otis Gold Corp.

The Kilgore Gold Project (“Kilgore”) is located in Idaho, USA on the northern margin of the eastern Snake River Plain, approximately 5 miles west-northwest of the small rural hamlet of Kilgore, Clark County, Idaho. Otis Gold has a 100% undivided interest in 488 unpatented Federal lode claims on U.S. Forest Service lands. The area is mountainous; and relief on the Kilgore property is approximately 610 metres at elevations above 1950 metres. Kilgore is part of an extensive low-sulfidation quartz-adularia epithermal hydrothermal system hosted in Tertiary volcanic rocks and basement Aspen Formation calcareous siltstone, shale and sandstone of Late Cretaceous age. Gold mineralization is of the traditional disseminated, bulk-tonnage type similar to that comprising the classic volcanic-hosted gold deposits at Round Mountain, Nevada and McDonald Meadows, Montana. The Kilgore Deposit contains a current NI 43-101 (dated September 12, 2012) Indicated Resource of 520,000 ounces (oz.) Au in 27.4 million tonnes at a grade of 0.59 g/t Au and an Inferred Resource of 300,000 oz. Au in 20.2 million tonnes at a grade of 0.46 g/t Au (the “Deposit”). The preparation of an updated NI 43-101 compliant resource calculation is ongoing and will include drilling completed in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

The primary mineralization control at the Kilgore Deposit is a major northwest-trending structural zone, the Northwest Fault zone, and is closely associated with a series or set of north-northwest-trending, high-angle en echelon rhyolite dikes and dike swarms, with some individual bodies up to as much as 400 feet (120 m) thick. At least one nearly perpendicular north-northeast-striking fault, the Mine Ridge Fault (MRF), is a strong host to mineralization and a principal focus of historic work. Lithic tuff, the most abundant host rock, is also mineralized in proximity to the dikes. The underlying Cretaceous-Age Aspen Formation, comprising siltstones and calcareous sandstone, is a host near its contact with the overlying volcanic rocks and the intrusive rock and has been a focus of approximately 18,000 metres of drilling in 2016 and 2017.

Gold mineralization is associated with pyrite, electrum, native gold, galena, sphalerite, stibnite, cinnabar, and a host of sulfides, sulfosalts, and selenides containing silver, copper, cobalt, nickel, and tungsten. Gangue minerals include quartz, adularia, manganiferous siderite, illite, kaolinite, barite, and dumortierite/tourmaline. Alteration is zoned from quartz and quartz-adularia associated most strongly with gold alteration to more distal argillic and propylitic alteration.

Otis Gold Corp. is a resource company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of precious metal deposits in Idaho, USA. Otis is currently developing its flagship property, the Kilgore Gold Project, located in Clark County, Idaho and a second property, the Oakley Project, located in Cassia County, Idaho.

PRETIUM RESOURCES INC

THE BRUCEJACK MINE – INTERMEDIATE SULPHIDATION AU- AG DEPOSIT, NORTHWESTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA.

W.S.Board

The Brucejack Mine is a high-grade gold underground mine located in northwestern British Columbia, approximately 65 kilometers north of Stewart. A feasibility study completed in June 2014 and updated in December 2016 has outlined Proven and Probable mineral reserves in Brucejack’s Valley of the Kings Deposit comprising 8.1 million ounces of gold (15.6 million tonnes grading 16.1 grams per tonne gold). The first gold was poured in June 2017 and commercial production was declared in July 2017. All of the main operating units in the mill building and mine are performing as expected, and the mill is consistently operating at nameplate capacity of 2,700 tonnes per day or better.

The Brucejack Au-Ag deposit, part of the Sulphurets Au-Ag-Cu Camp. The camp contains a well-mineralized gossanous trend, associated with the Early Jurassic Mitchell Intrusions, which runs for at least 25 km from Brucejack in the south to Treaty Creek in the north. Deformed Lower Jurassic island arc rocks of the Stikine Terrane, exposed in the core of the Cretaceous McTagg anticlinorium, host mineralization at Brucejack.

The Brucejack deposit is interpreted as being a deformed porphyry-related transitional to intermediate sulfidation Au-Ag epithermal deposit. High-grade Au-Ag mineralization occurs as coarse aggregates of electrum and silver sulfosalts in steeply dipping and predominantly E- to NW- trending quartz-carbonate vein stockwork and breccia zones within a broader halo of clay alteration and low-grade mineralization. High-grade gold deposition appears to have resulted from a com¬plex series of interactions between various physicochemical parameters.

Progressive island arc development during the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic was associated with active tectonism and multiple stages of magmatism, lasting until c.180 Ma. Porphyry-style Cu-Au(-Mo) mineralization in the Sulphurets Camp is associated with calc-alkaline magmatic bodies formed between 195-191 Ma. Pervasive sericitic alteration and associated low-grade stockwork mineralization at Brucejack was formed at between 191-185 Ma. High-grade Au-Ag epithermal mineralization was superimposed upon the earlier porphyry-associated alteration and mineralization between 185-183 Ma. The age discrepancy between the known porphyry bodies and the Brucejack epithermal system indicates that, if it was porphyry-driven, the source porphyry has not yet been discovered. Mineralized veins and vein stockwork zones appear to have utilized lithological contacts and pre-existing structures. Epithermal veins are largely discordant to the penetrative foliation of the altered host rock, suggesting that mineralization post-dated a fabric-forming event. Mineralized zones were affected by tilting, thrusting, and shearing during Cretaceous compressional deformation.

Detailed surface and underground exploration of the Brucejack Au-Ag vein stockwork, focusing on the West Zone, was conducted during the 1980s and 1990s. The high-grade Valley of the Kings Zone, discovered in 2009, has been the focus of detailed exploration by Pretium Resources Inc. since acquiring the project in late 2010.

REDSTAR GOLD CORP.

EXPLORING FOR ALASKA’S NEXT HIGH-GRADE GOLD MINE: THE UNGA PROJECT—A DISTRICT-SCALE HIGH-GRADE, INTERMEDIATE-SULPHIDATION EPITHERMAL VEIN SYSTEM

Redstar Gold Corp. controls 100% of the 240 square kilometre Unga Gold Project and is currently focused on the Shumagin Gold Zone. The Unga Gold Project is located on Unga and Popof Islands in the Shumagin Island Chain approximately 900 kilometres southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. The project hosts Alaska’s first underground gold mine, Apollo-Sitka, which operated from 1886 to 1922 and produced approximately 150 000 ounces of gold at a reported grade of 10 grams per tonne.

Unga and Popof Islands are underlain predominantly by Eocene to Early Oligocene Popof andesitic flows and volcaniclastics including hyaloclastites and lesser felsic tuffs. The geologic environment is a locally emergent, marine, island arc volcanic field.

The Shumagin Gold Zone is at the eastern end of the Shumagin Trend, one of two partially fault-controlled northeast-southwest–oriented semilinear structures that transect the entirety of the southern half of Unga Island. Each of these trends is approximately 9.5 km in length and characterized by precious- and base-metal vein systems and areas of intense alteration. The Shumagin Gold Zone is interpreted to be a phreatomagmatic (hydrothermal-magmatic) breccia system associated with a nearby dacitic, hypabyssal dome. The breccia is 5–40 metres wide and localized along the Shumagin scarp, which is approximately 2.0 km long. The Shumagin scarp is interpreted as a pre-existing structure that facilitated emplacement of the breccias and acted as a buttress to epiclastic sediments that were deposited within a valley separating the Shumagin scarp from an adjacent ridge.

Drilling at the Shumagin prospect has targeted an epithermal vein system consisting of a subvertical zone of multi-episodic, cockade-colloform-crustiform banded quartz+adularia+carbonate vein, stockwork and vein breccias. Approximately 90 holes have been drilled on the prospect with Redstar completing 50, including 8 in 2015, 7 in 2016, and 25 in 2017.

In 2015, Redstar drilled four infill holes targeting a breccia vein that occurs along a phreatomagmatic (diatreme) breccia body that had previously brecciated the contact between competent footwall andesite and hangingwall pyroclastic tuffs. The collective Shumagin vein system has commonly completely replaced and/or destroyed the footwall–diatreme breccia–hangingwall contact. Results from the drilling included:

o 1.9 m of 202 g/t gold and 82 g/t silver and o 11.85 m of 13.4 g/t gold and 85.5 g/t silver.

As part of the 2015 drill program, Redstar drilled four step-out holes targeting the down-plunge and strike extensions to the high-grade mineralization associated with the Shumagin breccia vein. The drilling revealed an older, Ginguro-sulphide textured epithermal breccia vein along the footwall andesite–diatreme breccia contact that was not destroyed by late-stage Shumagin-style vein breccias.

Redstar Gold completed a surface exploration program in the summer of 2016, focused on gaining a further understanding of the overall mineralized systems at Shumagin, Orange Mountain, Amethyst/Aquila, and the Apollo


62

Sitka and Empire Ridge areas. Redstar followed up with a seven (7) holes in late 2016 targeting the Shumagin breccia vein approximately 400 meters west and approximately 200 meters east of the 2015 Drill program.

In 2017, the Redstar completed a soild sampling program, followed by ground IP and MAG survey to the south west of the Shumgain system, identified the structure and completed 12 drill holes, hitting the structure in every hole. To the northeast, the Company drilled 13 holes in the fall of 2017, again hitting the structure, and key upper part of the boiling zone. The Company is 2018 will be focused on reviewing the district, and also vectoring in on the Main Breccia of Shumagin, where the highest grade drill results were received in 2011 and 2015.

REGULUS RESOURCES INC.

THE ANTAKORI COPPER-GOLD-SILVER SKARN-PORPHYRY-HIGH-SULPHIDATION EPITHERMAL PROJECT, CAJAMARCA, NORTHERN PERU

Kevin B. Heather; Stewart Redwood; Hubert Gamarra; John Black and Exploration Staff, Regulus Resources Inc.

The AntaKori Project, Cajamarca Province, Peru, has a NI 43-101 inferred sulphide mineral resource of 295 Mt @ 0.36 g/t Au, 0.48% Cu and 10 g/t Ag (Wilson, 2012 C:\Users\RFinnie\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\4Z31CUY9\2018 PDAC Abstract - ANTAKORI Project Regulus Resources-final.docx). This is based on 17,954 m of historical drilling in 70 holes. Regulus acquired the project in 2014, and in 2017 started a Phase 1, 15,000 to 18,000 m diamond drill program. This will be completed in mid-2018 with an updated resource in late 2018.

The project is located within the world-class Au-Cu-Ag belt of northern Peru. It is adjacent to the Tantahuatay high-sulphidation epithermal (HS) Au mine (Compañía Minera Coimolache, Buenaventura-Southern Peru; 150,816 oz. Au produced in 2016); 7 km NW of the Cerro Corona porphyry Cu-Au mine (Gold Fields; 149,100 oz. Au and 29,900 t Cu produced in 2016); and 32 km NW of the Yanacocha HS gold mine (Newmont-Buenaventura; 655,000 oz. Au produced in 2016).

AntaKori is characterised by calcic-skarn and porphyry-related Cu-Au-Ag mineralization (low As) overprinted by high-sulphidation Cu-Au-Ag mineralization (high As), and by carbonate-base metal Au-Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu mineralization (very low As). Mineralization is principally hosted in prograde and retrograde exoskarn in the Cretaceous Chulec and Inca Formations, as well as in quartz-anhydrite veinlets in quartzites of the Farrat Formation. Skarn mineralization is dominated by magnetite-chalcopyrite-pyrite. Additional mineralization is hosted within breccias and porphyry intrusions. The porphyry system responsible for the skarn mineralization has yet to be discovered, however alteration vectors and geophysical anomalies indicate several targets.

The Cretaceous rocks are locally overlain and cross-cut by Middle Miocene (12.7-13.2 Ma) intermediate to felsic volcanic and subvolcanic rocks of the Tantahuatay center of the Calipuy Formation, which hosts HS Au-Ag-Cu mineralization with enargite-tennantite-pyrite. The HS mineralization partially overprinted the skarn along the southwest side of the property. The system is, in turn, locally overprinted by younger, carbonate-base metal Au-Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu mineralization related to late stage rhyolite stocks and flow domes of Upper Miocene age (8.7-8.5 Ma).

Significant intersections from the current drill program include 189.3 m @ 1.54% Cu, 1.05 g/t Au and 11.9 g/t Ag (2.40% CuEQ), including 110.7 m @ 2.34% Cu, 1.63 g/t Au and 17.9 g/t Ag (3.67% CuEQ) in HS mineralization (AK-17-001); 523.9 m @ 0.65% Cu, 0.47 g/t Au and 7.93 g/t Ag (1.05% CuEQ) in HS and skarn mineralization (DHSF17-160); and 328.05 m @ 0.42% Cu, 0.22 g/t Au and 8.63 g/t Ag (0.66% CuEQ) in HS and skarn mineralization (AK-17-002).

The core shack display will show the skarn, high-sulphidation and carbonate-base metal styles of mineralization.

SABINA GOLD & SILVER CORP.

EXPLORATION SUCCESSES AT THE BACK RIVER GOLD PROJECT, NUNAVUT CANADA

Stacie Jones; Angus Campbell and James Maxwell, Sabina Gold & Silver Corp.

The Back River Gold project is located in the northern territory of Nunavut approximately 520 km northeast of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories and is 100% owned by Sabina Gold & Silver Corp. The project consists of five main lease blocks, Goose, George, Boot, Boulder and Del, covering a total of approximately 53,000 hectares that host known or observed gold mineralization in banded iron formations. The advanced stage project has significant Mineral Resources estimated at both the Goose and George project areas. Three deposits host the current estimated reserves at the Goose Project area, a subset of the Mineral Resource Estimates, that are subject to the 3K feasibility study; the Goose Main open pit, the Llama open pit and the Umwelt open pit and underground. Estimated reserves in the proven category total 7,003,000 tonnes at 5.98g/t Au for 1,346,000 ounces and in the probable category a total of 5,356,000 tonnes at 6.72g/t Au for 1,157,000 ounces.

The Back River Gold Project is situated in the north eastern portion of Archean Slave Province. At the Goose property, the deposits are hosted by the Beechey Lake Group, where the sedimentary rocks are deformed into steeply dipping, tightly folded sequences of greywacke, mudstone and interbedded iron formation. Host geology is an interbedded sequence of oxide (magnetite, chert, grunerite) iron formation, silicate (iron silicate and chert) iron formation and clastic sedimentary rocks typical of turbidite deposits. Gold mineralization is associated with silicification and amphibole and chlorite development within favourable structures and lithologies, as well as sulphidization of host iron formation units producing pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, pyrite and locally visible gold. The geology and mineralization found on the Back River properties have a very strong affinity to that found at the Lupin Mine located some 160 km west of the properties.

During 2017, two drill programs completed approximately 13,000m of diamond drilling at the Goose property. Significant results released in the past year include drill hole intercepts from the Llama Extension, a 525m down plunge extension of the current Llama resource, and from the Umwelt Vault zone, a robust high grade zone down plunge of the Umwelt deposit.

Drill hole 17GSE516B from the Llama Extension zone returned an interval of 38.55m (from 667.4-705.95m) at 9.48g/t Au including 21.25m at 14.43g/t Au and 1.0m at 52.83g/t Au. Mineralization in this hole is associated with a strongly altered and mineralized lower iron formation package that is part of the continuation of the highly prospective, mineralized, Llama structure.

The Vault Zone is being explored for expansion both down dip and down plunge where drill hole 17GSE511B returned multiple gold zones starting at 734.0m with 13.5m at 16.86g/t Au including 7.95m at 27.11g/t Au, followed by a 1.20m interval at 2.07g/t Au from 751.6-752.8m and 1.05m at 12.3g/t Au from 755.5-756.55m.

Sabina continues to develop new targets through exploratory drilling, geophysics, and renewed prospecting and mapping, and moving forward Sabina will continue to pursue and focus on high impact greenfield and resource extension opportunities through 2018.

SKEENA RESOURCES LTD.

SNIP: REDISCOVERING LOST TREASURE IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA

Ron Nichols & Kelly Earle, Skeena Resources Ltd.

The Snip mine, located in the Golden Triangle of northwest British Columbia, produced 1.1 million ounces of gold from 1991 until 1999 at an average gold grade of 27.5 g/t. In August of 2017, Skeena acquired 100% ownership of Snip from Barrick Gold. An initial underground drill program was completed in December 2017 that consisted of 8,650 metres over 62 holes.

The Twin Zone, which accounted for 61% of historical production, is a dilatant shear zone consisting of several southwest dipping shear veins. The most productive parts of the shear zone occur when the structures change orientation and become steeper dipping, causing zones of extension that can form thicker zones of mineralization, including parallel zones as seen in the 150 and 130 Veins, which accounted for 24% of historical production. Along with further defining the upper and eastern extension of the Twin Zone, the 2017 underground drilling successfully identified other dilatant shear zones, caused by changes in attitude of the shears, and specifically zones that are down plunge or in the footwall of the Twin Zone, such as the 412 Zone.

The core displayed is representative of the multi-phase deformation and alteration events responsible for the formation of gold at Snip. High-grade gold mineralization occurs in three distinct styles that are interlayered: streaky calcite (biotite-chlorite foliated calcite), crackle quartz (biotite-pyrite stockwork within quartz) and pyrite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite sulphide mineralization.

Highlights from the 2017 underground drill program include:

• UG17-008: 67.68 g/t Au over 2.03 metres • UG17-013: 341.00 g/t Au over 1.50 metres • UG17-020: 132.00 g/t Au over 0.50 metres • UG17-027: 74.35 g/t Au over 2.00 metres including 290.00 g/t Au over 0.50 metres • UG17-030: 21.77 g/t Au over 7.20 metres including 133.00 g/t Au over 1.00 metres • UG17-033: 77.41 g/t Au over 1.10 metres • UG17-034: 26.28 g/t Au over 2.03 metres • UG17-035: 19.26 g/t Au over 11.85 metres including 47.45 g/t Au over 4.35 metres • UG17-036: 35.49 g/t Au over 4.35 metres • UG17-039: 20.17 g/t Au over 2.40 metres • UG17-040: 50.21 g/t Au over 2.00 metres including 140.00 g/t Au over 0.65 metres

SOLGOLD PLC.

THE WORLD-CLASS ALPALA PORPHYRY COPPER-GOLD DEPOSIT IN THE CASCABEL PROJECT OF NORTHERN ECUADOR

1SolGold Plc. and 2Steven L Garwin Pty Ltd

The Eocene Alpala porphyry copper-gold deposit and Cascabel project are located in the Imbabura province of northern Ecuador, a 3-hour drive north of Ecuador's capital city, Quito. Northern Ecuador lies within the under-explored northern section of the richly endowed Andean Copper Belt, which extends from Chile in the south to Colombia in the north. The tenement lies along the overlap of the Eocene and Miocene metallogenic belts that host some of the world’s largest porphyry copper and gold deposits, such as the Eocene La Escondida copper mine in Chile.

SolGold has completed over 57,000m of diamond drilling and expended over USD55M on the program as of November 2017. This has been accomplished with a workforce of up to 260 Ecuadorean workers and geoscientists, and 6 expatriate Australian geoscientists. Over 120,000m of drilling is planned for 2018. SolGold has drill tested 5 of 15 copper-gold targets delineated in the 50 km2 tenement with a focus on Alpala. The remainder of the targets are scheduled for testing in 2018.

The Cascabel project occurs in the Western Cordillera of the Ecuadorian Andes and is characterized by basement rocks that consist of ocean floor basalts and sedimentary rocks of the Dagua-Piñon terrane, which is believed to have accreted to South America in the Late Cretaceous. High-level Eocene and Late Miocene batholiths and associated granitic to dioritic bodies intrude volcanic and sedimentary rocks of Cretaceous to Miocene age. Significant deposits have been discovered in the vicinity. These include the Junin copper porphyry project (982 million tonnes at 0.89% Cu), located 60 km to the south-west of Cascabel and the La Colosa gold porphyry deposit (905 million tonnes at 0.92 g/t Au) located 200 km to the north, in Colombia.

The Alpala deposit is centred on an Eocene intrusive complex that consists of upward-tapering, equigranular to sub-porphyritic, hornblende-bearing diorite, quartz diorite and tonalities that were emplaced prior to, during and after Cu-Au mineralisation. Six major phases of intrusion are delineated on the basis of composition and relative timing-relationships with porphyry-related quartz- and sulphide-bearing vein-stages. Host rocks include Palaeocene to Eocene andesitic volcaniclastic rocks, lavas and volcano-sedimentary rocks.

Drilling indicates that Cu-Au mineralisation extends up to 700m in true-width, exceeds 1300m in length and extends more than 1800m in vertical extent from surface. The majority of mineralisation is spatially and temporally associated with quartz- and chalcopyrite-rich veins hosted by intrusions that show variable feldspar-destructive, sericite-chlorite+clay overprinting of biotite-actinolite and chlorite-epidote alteration mineral assemblages. The


67

highest-grade drill intervals occur within and adjacent to a swarm of early-stage, quartz diorite porphyry (QD10) dikes, which have been further enriched with bornite mineralisation related to late-stage quartz-sericite alteration.

Several types of Cu-Au mineralisation comprise the deposit, including:

• disseminated chalcopyrite and bornite within the causal QD10 intrusions; • zones of magmatic (UST) quartz-magnetite that have been overprinted by hematite, chalcopyrite and

bornite; • multidirectional quartz-magnetite-chalcopyrite stockwork veins that extend several hundreds of

metres beyond the QD10 margins; and • quartz-magnetite-chalcopyrite stockwork veins and lesser sheeted veins that characterize the distal

settings to the causal intrusions.

TERANGA GOLD CORP

GOLDEN HILL, BURKINA FASO – MULTIPLE ADVANCED PROSPECTS

David W. Mallo, Vice President; Peter Mann, Exploration Manager; Eliot Grant, Senior Project Geologist; Zombo Daouda, Project Geologist, Teranga Gold Corporation

The Teranga Gold Corporation (“Teranga”) Golden Hill property is located within the prolifically mineralized Houndé greenstone belt of western Burkina Faso, West Africa. Teranga is the operator of a joint venture with Boss Resources Ltd. and manages all of the exploration activities across the 468 km2 Golden Hill property.

Teranga’s initial exploration program at Golden Hill begin in late 2016, with drilling activities commencing in early 2017. During the year a number of drilling phases were undertaken at five prospect areas, which has culminated in the completion of 80 reverse circulation holes (6,300 metres) and 230 diamond core holes (23,000 metres) since inception of the Teranga drilling evaluation campaign.

Currently, there has not been a resource estimation undertaken at Golden Hill, although a number of advanced exploration drill targets have been identified. Further drilling is scheduled to begin in January 2018, which, when combined with the excellent results obtained by Teranga’s drilling programs to-date, should facilitate the completion of an initial resource estimation mid to late 2018.

Primary exploration drilling prospects identified to-date at our Golden Hill property are:

• Ma Structural Complex (Ma West, Ma Main (BZ-1 and BZ-2);

• Ma East and Ma North);

• Nahiri;

• Jackhammer Hill;

• Peksou; and

• C-Zone.

Of these advanced drill prospects, the most extensively explored and drilled thus far is the Ma Structural Complex where Teranga has completed 175 drill holes comprising 16,500 metres to the end of 2017.

Gold mineralization throughout all known prospects at Golden Hill is greatly influenced and controlled by structure and less so by hosting geology. Mineralization is both volcanic-hosted and intrusive-hosted. We commonly observe the same mineralized structures crosscutting both stratigraphic hosts while displaying excellent continuity and correlation within and extensional to both. Many of the mineralized structures observed tend to have a brecciated component centrally located within the broader altered and mineralized host structures. Regardless of thickness, when a brecciated core occurs within a favorably altered interval, it is rare that elevated gold values are not directly correlative.


69

Golden Hill is located on the eastern flank of the Houndé greenstone belt where the strike-extensive, northeast-trending Boni Shear Zone crosses the entirety of the property. The major regional structural trend is likewise oriented northeast - southwest and represents a direct link to gold mineralization within Teranga’s Golden Hill property as well as numerous other properties throughout the greenstone belt. Of further interest and focus, during exploration, are crossing and oblique structures propagating from the primary northeast regional trend. Teranga observes these oblique and crossing structures to the principle regional structural trend at all of advanced drill prospects, and focus ongoing exploration evaluations at similar areas demonstrating structural intersections.

Successful exploration methodology at Golden Hill includes stream sediment BLEG analysis with detailed regolith interpretation, soil geochemical sampling programs, geological/structural mapping, geochem focused Auger and RAB drilling evaluations followed by grid based reverse circulation and core drilling programs.

An aggressive exploration program is planned for Golden Hill in 2018, which will include further target evaluation as well as detailed drill programs at all of the advanced prospects identified to-date.

TINKA RESOURCES LTD.

NEW DISCOVERIES AT THE AYAWILCA ZINC (TIN) PROJECT, CENTRAL PERU

Graham Carman, CEO, Tinka Resources Ltd.; Alvaro Fernandez-Baca, VP Exploration, Tinka Resources Ltd.

Tinka will be displaying high-grade zinc massive sulphide cores from its South Ayawilca discovery in the Pasco region of Central Peru, where the Company drilled approximately 20,000 metres in 2017. Tinka also plans to display typical tin-copper mineralization from Ayawilca, which predates and typically underlies the zinc mineralization.

The Ayawilca zinc zone is a carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) hosted predominantly by the Pucará Group carbonate rocks of Triassic-Jurassic age at a depth of ~150 to ~400 metres. Sphalerite (both iron rich and low iron) occurs as steep-dipping ‘chimneys’ up to 200 metres thick, or in narrow veins, or as flat lying ‘mantos’ typically 10-15 metres thick. Sphalerite is accompanied by other sulphides including pyrite and pyrrhotite, commonly replacing magnetite. The mantos merge into thicker zones or “chimneys” of high grade zinc mineralization at South and West Ayawilca. Manto style mineralization is typically lower grade. Minor zinc mineralization also occurs in the lowermost member of the overlying Cretaceous age Goyllarisquizga Formation, a flat lying clastic sedimentary sequence typically 150-200 metres thick. The mineralization in the Zinc Zone is sulphide hosted and there is no known oxide component. The Zinc and Tin Zone mineralization is “blind” with no significant outcropping alteration or mineralization.

Tin mineralization (as cassiterite) is hosted by pyrrhotite-rich mantos typically 10-15 metres thick (up to 50 metres) and often found at the base of the limestone in contact with the underlying phyllite (Excelsior Formation). At South Ayawilca, tin-rich pyrrhotite mantos are also found higher up in the carbonate sequence.

The Ayawilca project is at the resource development stage. A resource update for the Ayawilca Zinc Zone was announced in November 2017, based on the 2017 drill program. A PEA will likely be completed during 2018, with further exploration drilling looking for additional chimneys also planned.

Based on drilling to October 2017, Ayawilca has an Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for the Zinc Zone of 42.7 million tonnes grading 7.3% Zinc Equivalent (6.0% Zn, 0.2% Pb, 79 g/t Indium, 17 g/t Ag), and an Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for the Tin Zone of 10.5 million tonnes grading 0.70% Tin Equivalent (0.63% Sn, 0.23% Cu, 12g/t Ag). The two Ayawilca resources are reported separately, since they host different metals and are spatially separated.

Central Peru is a world class zinc producer from either Carbonate Replacement Deposits (or CRDs), skarns, or vein systems with excellent infrastructure serving the mining industry. Ayawilca has similarities to other large CRDs in central Peru hosted by Pucará Group rocks, such as Cerro de Pasco and Morococha.

TOWER RESOURCES LTD

RABBIT NORTH: ALKALIC PORPHYRY COPPER AND GOLD PROJECT, SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA

Paola Chadwick, Exploration Manager, Tower Resources Ltd.

The 16,400 hectare Rabbit North Project is a large and under-explored porphyry copper and gold prospect in south-central British Columbia. It is strategically located 14 km southwest of the producing New Afton copper and gold mine (New Gold Inc.), and 27 km northeast of the producing Highland Valley copper mine (Teck Resources Ltd.). The property is an amalgamation of claims under option from private individuals (2850 ha) and 100% owned ground acquired through staking. Under the terms of the option agreement dated July 11, 2013, Tower has now earned a 100% interest in the project subject to a 3% NSR.

After optioning the project in 2013 Tower undertook a multidisciplinary exploration program consisting of prospecting, geological mapping, drillcore re-logging, airborne and ground magnetic surveys, and an induced polarization survey. Nine immediate drill-ready targets were recognized (Chrysocolla East and Main, Western Magnetite, Central Monzonite Main and South, Kwil, KV, Buff and Dominic) of which five were identified or discovered by Tower. These targets cover an area of approximately 4 by 4 kilometres; five targets have now been tested during the 2016-2017 drill programs.

In late 2016 Tower Resources completed the first drill program on the property in 12 years, intersecting 200 metres of 0.30% copper and 0.15g/t gold, including a 72m interval of 0.47% copper and 0.20g/t gold, in drill hole RN-008 at the Western Magnetite Zone (WMZ). In spring 2017, Tower completed a follow-up drill program on the property which greatly expanded the footprint of known mineralization, including an intersect of 247m of 0.51% Cu and 0.34g/t Au, including 37.9m of 0.84% Cu and 0.55g/t Au in diamond drillhole RN17-015 at the WMZ. Drillhole RN17-21 drilled at the Chrysocolla Zone - 1km south of RN17-015 - also returned significant results, cutting 0.11% Cu and 0.24 g/t Au over 255.8m, including 0.37% Cu and 0.39g/t Au over 42m.

The project is situated in the metal-endowed Triassic-Jurassic island arc-related Quesnel Terrane. The Rabbit North property is centred on the Durand Stock, a composite dioritic intrusion dated at 215Ma (U-Pb dating) cut by monzonitic to monzodioritic dykes dated at 200Ma. Alkalic porphyry-related copper and gold mineralization (chalcopyrite +/- bornite and pyrite) is hosted in three main rock types: within the Durand Stock, in inter-mineral monzonitic to monzodioritic dykes, and in volcanoclastic rocks of the Nicola Group. Significant volumes of hydrothermal and hydrothermal-magmatic breccias were also intersected during 2016-2017 drilling at the Western Magnetite Zone.

Mineralization is associated with three main overprinting alteration assemblages: Sodic (albite dominant), Potassic (potassium feldspar and/or biotite +/- magnetite), and Inner Propylitic (chlorite-epidote-carbonate +/- magnetite, actinolite) which grade out into outer propylitic alteration. Late phyllic and argillic alteration occurs on structures and associated with post-mineral quartz-feldspar-porphyry dykes and can locally be associated with elevated gold values.


72

Historic exploration at Rabbit North has focussed on testing outcropping mineralization on the property. In 2018, Tower plans to focus on exploring till covered areas with favourable geology and analogous geophysical responses to the north and west of known mineralized zones.

TRILOGY METALS INC.

BORNITE EXPLORATION: HOW DO YOU CORRAL AN ELEPHANT WITH HELP FROM DOWN UNDER?

Andy West, Exploration Manager, Trilogy Metals Inc.; Bonnie Broman, Project Geologist, Trilogy Metals, Inc.; Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, President & CEO, Trilogy Metals Inc.

Trilogy Metals completed a $10 million exploration program during the 2017 exploration season. Nine diamond drill holes totaling 8,437m, a detailed ground gravity survey, and continued soil sampling using the deep penetrating geochemical method (DPG) were completed. This work was made possible by Trilogy Metals granting South32, an Australian based mining company, an option to form a 50/50 joint venture with respect to Trilogy’s Alaskan assets in April 2017. South32 must contribute a minimum of $10 million each year, for a maximum of 3 years, to keep the option in good standing. South32 may exercise its option at any time to form the 50/50 joint venture by contributing a minimum of $150 million towards the venture.

Trilogy Metals last drilled the Bornite deposit in 2013, which included the intercepts of RC13-0224 containing 236m of 1.9% Cu, RC13-0220 containing 126m of 1.59% Cu, and RC13-0231 containing 74.8m of 1.81% Cu. These intercepts spanned 1 km in strike length that was still open down-dip to the north and northeast, but remained untested due to the downturn of the markets until renewed interest in 2017. The 2017 drill program was designed to follow up on the results of the 2013 campaign and test the overall extent of the mineralizing system with large step-outs. The first round of drilling demonstrated that the mineralizing system still persists down–dip with all three holes intersecting greater than 0.5% Cu over significant intervals with some holes testing the edges of the system while others continue to intersect greater than 100m thick zones greater than 1% Cu. These holes represent 200m to 300m offsets from the 2013 drilling. The next round of drilling included larger 400m step-offs down-dip from the first drill holes. All holes intersected significant Cu-mineralization over similar widths as above.

Other exploration efforts including geophysics and geochemistry were undertaken this field season. A gravity survey on a 100m grid, including 845 gravity stations over an area approximately 3.5 kilometers by 2 kilometers was completed. Mira Geoscience was engaged to create a 3D constrained inversion model using the gravity results to aid in developing additional drill targets. The modelling results are encouraging and suggest that even though the system is increasing in depth toward the north and northeast, the gravity signal at surface is consistent with the system still being open. One drill target that was highlighted by the modelling and is located to the east of our main 2017 target area was tested with RC17-0239. Deep penetrating geochemistry (DPG) soil sampling techniques were also deployed this field season and results are pending.

The drill results mentioned above indicate that the Bornite system is still open to expansion and further delineation of copper resources. In partnership with South32, who are fully engaged and supportive of our exploration efforts, we are planning to continue exploration into next year to further define and understand the Bornite deposit.

Trilogy Metals continues to work closely with NANA, our Alaska Native Corporation partner, to focus efforts on community relations and workforce development strategies. Our vision is to develop the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects mining district into a premier North American metal producer.

TRIUMPH GOLD CORP.

THE REVENUE PORPHYRY – NEW INSIGHTS FROM THE OUTSIDE IN

Tony Barresi, Triumph Gold Corp.

The Revenue Porphyry, on Triumph Gold’s Freegold Mountain property, is an exploration stage Cu-Au-Mo-Ag deposit centered around a 1.3 X 0.4 km diatreme that was last drilled in 2011. In 2016, a review of some of the highest grade historical drill intersections revealed that much of the high-grade mineralization is hosted in the granite that surrounds the diatreme and that the mineralization predates emplacement of the diatreme. Therefore, in 2017 the focus of exploration at Revenue was shifted from the diatreme to the surrounding country rock, which was drill-tested with systematic, up to 1.3 km, step outs on each side of the diatreme. The new geological model for mineralization at Revenue was verified and porphyry style mineralization was established over a 2.85 km strike length. Within the broad area of porphyry mineralization, a 450-metre-long corridor of high-grade, gold-rich mineralization was identified; it is open to depth and along strike, where it appears to be increasing in grade. Triumph Gold will display core from the high-grade trend in the Roundup core shack. Specifically, core from RVD17-12, which intersected porphyry mineralization beneath the eastern margin of the Revenue diatreme (245m of 0.33 g/t Au and 0.112% Cu including 58.65m grading 0.971 g/t Au and 0.218% Cu), and RVD17-13, which collared 450 meters to the northeast of RVD17-12 (119m of 0.614 g/t Au and 0.154% Cu including 57.00m of 1.083 g/t Au and 0.285% Cu). These core samples have classic porphyry textures including chalcopyrite rich stockwork and sheeted veins, breccias, and variable intensities of potassic alteration with a phyllic alteration overprint. A variable but sometimes high abundance of pyrrhotite distinguishes the mineralization at Revenue from traditional gold rich porphyries.

Revenue has an inferred resource (December 15,2014) of 80.8 million tonnes containing 1.01 million ozs Au, 9.96 million ozs Ag, 241 million lbs Cu and 82.8 million lbs Mo at a cut off grade of 0.5 g/t gold equivalent. The Nucleus deposit, also on Triumph Gold’s Freegold Mountain property, is located approximately 2.5 km west of the Revenue diatreme and is interpreted to be a high-level portion of the same magmatic-hydrothermal system being tested at Revenue. Nucleus has an indicated resource of 74.74 million tonnes containing 1.31 million ozs Au, and an inferred resource of 63.79 million tonnes containing 0.8 million ozs Au, both at cut-off grades of 0.3 g/t gold equivalent (December 15, 2014).

WALLBRIDGE MINING COMPANY LIMITED

HIGH-GRADE GOLD AT WALLBRIDGE’S FENELON GOLD PROPERTY IN QUEBEC

Joshua Bailey, Vice President Exploration, Wallbridge Mining Company Limited; Attila Pentek, Senior Geologist, Wallbridge Mining Company Limited

Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM) will be displaying high-grade gold mineralized drill core from its 2017 surface exploration drilling on its Fenelon Gold property in Quebec.

Drill core includes spectacular visible gold with minor pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite within silicified shear zones cutting a gabbro-pyroxenite sill. Wallbridge has completed extensive geological and structural modelling and will have plans, sections and interpretations with the core at the core shack to support discussion.

On April 18, 2017, Wallbridge announced the results of its first exploration drilling program since acquisition of the Fenelon Gold project. Five of nine holes intersected significant gold mineralization. Highlight drill hole FA-17-07 intersected three mineralized zones including 149.08 g/t gold over 7.06 metres with a higher grade sub-interval of 281.30 g/t gold over 3.72 metres.

On July 12, 2017, and September 5, 2017, Wallbridge announced the results of its second drilling program at Fenelon. Nine of fifteen drill holes intersected visible gold over significant widths. Highlight drill hole FA-17-17 intersected four mineralized zones including 346.55 g/t gold over 3.06 metres, 21.95 g/t gold over 4.45 metres, and 6.13 g/t gold over 5.22 metres.

On November 9, 2017, Wallbridge announced initial results of its third drilling program at Fenelon. Drill hole FA-17-26 intersected two significant mineralized intervals including 237.81 g/t gold over 7.02 metres from 139.83 metres downhole, stepping-out below the previous FA-17-07 and FA-17-17 intersections. Drill hole FA-17-27 intersected 122.25 g/t gold over 4.73 metres from 130.12 metres downhole with a higher-grade sub-interval of 362.83 g/t gold over 1.54 metres in a separate zone.

Wallbridge closed the acquisition of the Fenelon Gold property in October 2016. Previous work on the property included two bulk samples which produced reconciled head grades of 9.8 and 10.7 g/t gold with recoveries exceeding 97%. To date, Wallbridge has updated the resource estimate, completed a positive pre-feasibility study to 100 metres depth with a diluted head grade of 9-10 g/t gold, completed three successful exploration drilling programs, secured a custom milling agreement, and is expecting permits to begin dewatering for a 35,000 tonne bulk sample before the end of 2017.

Results of the bulk sample and planned underground exploration drilling will form the basis of a production decision in 2018. Wallbridge’s target at Fenelon is to build ramp-access underground mine with sustained 30,000 - 40,000 oz of annual production.

Wallbridge Mining Company Limited (TSX:WM) is pursuing cash-flow from near-term production and growth from exploration and is focused on value-accretive, near-term, high-margin, gold and nickel-copper-PGM projects in Canada that have exploration upside.

WESDOME GOLD MINES LTD

KIENA MINE COMPLEX

Kiena mine in Val-d’Or, Quebec produced 1.75M oz gold from 12.5M tonnes @ 4.5 g/t Au from 1981-2013. The bulk of this historic production came from the S-50 Zone between depths of 100 to 1000 metres. The VC zone, located approximately 600 m north of Kiena’s main S-50 Zone, was developed by Wesdome with a production of 842 000 tonnes @ 4.2 g/t gold from 2006-2013. Recent “Kiena Deep” underground exploration drilling at Kiena resulted in the discovery of new high grade gold bearing quartz veining in 2016. Kiena Deep and VC Zones are characterized by a series of quartz (+/- carbonate +/- albite, pyrite and visible gold) veins, stockworks or breccia lenses hosted within altered tholeiitic basalt, komatiite or talc-chlorite schist. A 1 km long exploration ramp below Kiena’s 1000 metre level is currently being developed in order to provide better drilling platforms to delineate Kiena Deep. VC Zone is also currently being explored at depth below the 670 metre level.

WESTERN ALASKA COPPER AND GOLD

THE ROUND TOP PORPHYRY COPPER DEPOSIT, ILLINOIS CREEK DISTRICT, ALASKA

Joe Piekenbrock and Kit Marrs, Western Alaska Copper and Gold

The Round Top porphyry copper deposit and the nearby Illinois Creek properties represent a newly recognized, target-rich Cretaceous porphyry copper cluster in western AK. Drilling at Round Top in 2017 has encountered a well-preserved lithocap characterized by extensive quartz/sericite/pyrite alteration and temporally late, intermediate-argillic and possibly advance-argillic alteration (SWIR spectrometry is ongoing) overprinting a complex intrusive porphyry magmatic suite including a major diatreme-like fragmental unit. The high level alteration is characterized by widespread sheeted primary pyrite/chalcopyrite/chalcocite/covellite mineralization extending to at least 350 meters depth. Drilling has yet to encounter the main potassic core of the system, though some thin intervals of pervasive biotite/magnetite alteration with chalcopyrite and molybdenite have been crosscut at depth in the fragmental unit.

DH RT17-019 within the fragmental unit cut 166 meters of 0.51% CuEq at a 0.25% CuEq cut-off in 5 mineralized intervals and DHRT17-018 within a temporally early quartz monzonite porphyry cut 65 meters of 0.65% CuEq at a 0.25% CuEq cut-off in 3 intervals. Significant values for Ag and Mo are present though gold is relatively low. A thick leached cap from 50 to 150 meters in thickness overlies the deposit. Widespread supergene enriched chalcocite occurs at that level. Drilling in 2017 has defined a roughly 1 x 1.2 km potential resource area which is open to expansion.

The system is cored by a 2 x 2 km copper soil anomaly with a coincident 100nt magnetic anomaly, the Eastern lobe of which was the target of 2017 drilling. 3D magnetic susceptibility modeling of airborne magnetics shows a pipe-like apophysis immediately below the high level argillic cap coincident with the best drilling to date. A 3 km long coincident Cu/Zn soil anomaly developed in lower Paleozoic dolomite and volcanics extends to the northeast of the deposit and has yet to be tested except for a few shallow holes adjacent to the fragmental unit, the best of which returned 26m of 1.16% CuEq in skarn.

In addition to the Cu-dominant part of the system, a roughly 4 x 0.5 km Pb/Zn/Ag soil anomaly exists further west at the contact of lower Paleozoic dolomites and overlying dolomitic quartzites; and represents a major undrilled polymetallic manto replacement target.

Similar deeply oxidized mantos in the same stratigraphic position at the nearby Illinois Creek property have been historically mined for Au and Ag. A significant oxide gold resource remains at Illinois Creek and is open to expansion. The Illinois Creek mantos extend over an 8-9 km distance with high Au, Cu, As, Bi mantos zoned to Pb, Zn, Ag mantos at Water Pump Creek on the northeast side of the property. A similar 100nt aeromagnetic anomaly as that seen at Round Top occurs under Quaternary cover further to the southwest of the Au/Cu-rich mantos and likely represents a second major porphyry system in the district.

WHITE GOLD CORP.

2017 EXPLORATION SUMMARY AND UPDATE ON THE WHITE GOLD PROJECT

Jodie Gibson, White Gold Corp.

The White Gold property is located approximately 95km south of Dawson City, Yukon and consists of 1,835 claims covering approximately 36,265 hectares. The property was previously explored by Underworld Resources from 2007 – 2009 and Kinross Gold from 2010 – 2012 and includes the Golden Saddle and Arc deposits with a combined historic resource1 of 1 million ounces of gold.

White Gold Corp. purchased the White Gold property from Kinross in the summer of 2017 and initiated an exploration program on the property including airborne and ground geophysics, geochemical surveys, geologic mapping, and 4,432m of RC and 1,295m of diamond drilling over 35 holes on the Golden Saddle, Arc, Ulli’s, and GS East target areas. Highlights of the drilling include:

WHTGS17RC-001 - 3.98 g/t Au over 32.0m, including 5.51g/t Au over 21.3m

WHTGS17RC-010 – 3.99 g/t Au over 28.96m, including 10.1g/t Au over 10.67m

WHTGS17DD-170 – 4.57 g/t Au over 34.0m, including 6.3 g/t Au over 21.0m

The 2017 drilling program was designed to infill gaps in the historic resource areas and test for subparallel zones of mineralization in both the Golden Saddle and Arc based on revised modeling and interpretation of the historic data. The 2017 results confirmed the revised interpretation and an updated resource estimate for the property is in progress and anticipated in Q1 2018.

WOLFDEN RESOURCES CORPORATION

PICKETT MOUNTAIN DEPOSIT: VMS POTENTIAL IN MAINE, U.S.A.

Donald Hoy, Wolfden Resources Corporation

Located in Penobscot County in northern Maine, U.S.A., the Pickett Mountain VMS deposit is one of the highest grade undeveloped polymetallic massive sulphide deposits in North America. It occurs in the Northern Maine Volcanic Belt, an Ordovician-age rift-related assemblage comprising part of the Gander Terrane in the eastern North American Appalachians.

The Gander Terrane is well-endowed with numerous Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag massive sulphide deposits including 46 known deposits in the Bathurst Mining Camp in New Brunswick as well several in the Buchans mining district in Newfoundland. The Bathurst Mining Camp is one of the premier VMS districts in the world, featuring the world-class Brunswick #12 deposit, with past production of 128 million tonnes grading 8.57% Zn, 4.49% Pb, 0.34% Cu and 99.9 g/t Ag. Likewise, the Buchans deposit in Newfoundland was an important deposit, with past production of 16 million tonnes at a grade of 14.51% Zn, 7.56% Pb, 1.33% Cu, 126 g/t Ag and 1.37 g/t Au. The Northern Maine Volcanic belt in contrast, contains only 6 deposits, largely because of low levels of exploration activity relative to Bathurst and Buchans, due to unworkable mining laws and regulations prevalent over the last 30-40 years in Maine.

New mining laws recently enacted in the Maine legislature in November 2017, permit mining of metallic minerals in certain situations. Interest in VMS projects like Pickett Mountain has been revived with zinc and copper price appreciation and the opening up of the mine permitting regime under specific prescribed limitations. Wolfden sees significant exploration upside in this jurisdiction that it believes is vastly under-explored.

The Pickett Mountain VMS deposit is located on the southeast limb of the northeast-trending Weeksboro-Lunksoos anticlinorium. The anticlinorium is cored by black shales and sandstones of the Grand Pitch formation of Cambrian age; these comprise the deepest footwall rocks at Pickett Mountain. The sediments are overlain by intermediate to rhyolitic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks (middle Ordovician) which host the deposit. The immediate footwall to the deposit comprises a sheared footwall breccia that is characterized by intense, pyritic, sericitic and choritic alteration proximal to mineralization. The massive sulphide deposit is in turn overlain by mafic volcanic rocks, an iron-rich chert and an upper-most sequence of shales, some of which are carbonaceous.

The Pickett Mountain VMS deposit was discovered in 1979 by Getty Mines Ltd., utilizing soil geochemistry and diamond drilling and later, by Chevron Ltd. until 1989, the last time the property was explored. The deposit comprises 4 distinct massive sulphide lenses dominated by interlayering of sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and pyrite with quartz, sericite and minor magnetite. The deposit has been traced along strike for close to 900 metres and is open along strike to the northeast and at depth. The property has excellent potential to host an economic deposit as evidenced by historic drilling including 18.66% Zn, 10.27% Pb, 1.63% Cu & 6.72oz/t Ag over 7.70 metres as well as 14.65% Zn, 6.48% Pb, 2.74% Cu & 3.78 oz/t Ag over 7.68 metres.

Wolfden has commenced a 10,000 metre diamond drilling program at Pickett Mountain to enlarge the deposit and to find additional satellite deposits elsewhere on the property.

XANADU MINES

DISCOVERY AND GEOLOGY OF THE KHARMAGTAI PORPHYRY BRECCIA COPPER-GOLD DEPOSIT, GURVANSAIKHAN BELT, SOUTHERN MONGOLIA

Andrew Stewart, MD & CEO, Xanadu Mines; Joe Lo Grasso, Consulting Geologist, Xanadu Mines; Mat Brown, Chief Geologist, Xanadu Mines; Darryl Clark, Non-executive Director, Xanadu Mines and; Kevin Tomlinson, Chairman, Xanadu Mines.

The Kharmagtai porphyry copper-gold deposit is located within in the Middle Palaeozoic Gurvansaikhan Belt of Southern Mongolia, approximately 120 kilometres north of the world-class Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold project. The porphyry district consists of a cluster of cogenetic gold-copper-porphyry centres and late stage mineralised magmatic-hydrothermal tourmaline breccias emplacement within a composite calc-alkaline quartz diorite intrusive complex.

The Kharmagtai district was first explored by joint Russian-Mongolian geological expeditions from 1964 to 1982. In 2002, Ivanhoe Mines Mongolia in joint venture QGX (Quincunx) identified three areas which host significant porphyry related copper-gold mineralisation.

Early porphyry alteration and mineralisation at Kharmagtai is associated with a cluster of diorite porphyry dykes and stocks intruded into a quartz diorite intrusive complex and sediments. Porphyry-style vein stockworks in the Stockwork Hill, Copper Hill and White Hill comprise a common sequence of veining, including early magnetite (‘M’ veins) to irregular to sheeted high temperature, granular-textured composite laminated quartz veins (‘A and B’ veins). Porphyry stockwork mineralisation is crosscut by late massive sulphide (chalcopyrite – pyrite ‘C’-veins) associated with feldspar-destructive, intermediate argillic to phyllic alteration, and overprints early potassic-sodic to propylitic alteration assemblages associated with the porphyry mineralisation.

Early stockwork mineralisation is superimposed by magmatic-hydrothermal tourmaline breccias. These tourmaline breccias form part of a major copper-gold mineralised breccia system with significant exploration potential. The tourmaline breccia complex is host to late oxidised, mineralising fluids which have introduced significant copper and gold mineralisation. Similarly, to the C veins, mineralisation within the tourmaline breccias is associated with intermediate argillic to phyllic alteration where copper and gold has used earlier alteration as a reductant for precipitation of economic mineralisation; the two are currently believed to be coeval.

Previous exploration recognized local domains of pyrite and chalcopyrite associated with tourmaline breccias in and around the porphyry deposits at Kharmagtai but did not consider the breccias favourable for mineralisation. The complex was explored as a traditional porphyry target with stockworking being the main target of drilling. Recognition by Xanadu geologists that most of the copper and gold mineralisation is late and overprints the porphyry mineralisation and that the breccias are host to significant, high grade mineralisation opens extensive areas outside the porphyry centres to exploration. Tourmaline breccias at Kharmagtai crop out extensively several kilometres east of Stockwork Hill and Copper Hill. Xanadu’s recent discovery of significant domains of chalcopyrite ± gold cemented breccias deeper in the tourmaline breccia complex raises questions as to the prospectivity of the entire breccia complex for Cu-Au mineralisation, based on what has been found in the roots of other mineralized magmatic-hydrothermal breccia pipes.
