Disclaimer
This presentation contains a review of the Company’s properties in Canada. Viewers are cautioned that the projects are at an early stage of exploration and that estimates and projections contained herein are based on limited and incomplete data. More work is required before the mineralization on the projects and their economic aspects can be confidentially modeled. Therefore, the work results and estimates herein may be considered to be generally indicative only of the nature and quality of the projects. No representation or prediction is intended as to the results of future work, nor can there be any promise that the estimates herein will be confirmed by future exploration or analysis, or that the projects will otherwise prove to be economic.
The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the accuracy or adequacy of this presentation, which has been prepared by management. There can be no assurance that any of the assumptions in the resource estimates will be supported by a Pre-feasibility or Feasibility Study or that any forward looking event will come to pass. The data is incomplete and considerable additional work will be required to complete further evaluation, including but not limited to drilling, engineering and socio-economic studies and investment.
This presentation contains information with respect to adjacent or similar mineral properties in respect of which the Company has no interest or rights to explore or mine. Readers are cautioned that the Company has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in any such properties, and that mineral deposits on adjacent or similar properties are not indicative of mineral deposits on the Company’s properties. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and all investors are urged to consult their investment professionals before making an investment decision. Investors are further cautioned that past performance is no guarantee of future performance
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information included in this presentation constitutes forward-looking statements, including any information as to our projects, plans and future performance. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “will”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “budget”, “schedule” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Such factors include, but are not limited to: changes to current estimates of mineral reserves and resources; labour availability; litigation; availability of and increased costs associated with contractors and exploration equipment; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits; contests over title to properties; uncertainty with the Company’s ability to secure capital to execute its business plans; changes in national and local government legislation in Canada; risk of loss due to sabotage and civil disturbances; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; and business opportunities that may be pursued by the company. Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.
The company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Cautionary Note to U.S Investors Concerning Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
This presentation uses the terms “measured,” “indicated” and “inferred resources. We advise investors that while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations,the United States Securities and Exchange commission does not recognize them. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility orother economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineralreserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

Background
Previously Untested
Cu-Zn-Au property, located 25km northwest of Rouyn-Noranda
One of the most significant VMS properties in the Camp
Lithogeochemically similar to Horne Complex rocks
Falco identified near-surface conductors related to stratigraphy with the chemical characteristics of Horne Complex
Over 2km of laterally extensive exhalative sequence, akin to VMS systems
Several Zn-rich anomalies
Consistent with lateral placement to VMS mineralization

Glencore will retain its back-in right to acquire a 65% interest on any base metal deposit containing more than 350,000 tonnes copper metal equivalent after presentation of a NI 43-101 compliant resource, under the following conditions: paying Falco three times the project-specific exploration and development expenditures; paying Falco three times the Rouyn regional base metal exploration expenditures up to a maximum of $20
million; Glencore must complete a compliant feasibility study, within a specified period and at no cost to Falco; Falco will retain a 35% interest; receive a 6-month financing period subsequent to a production decision; and
will participate in a JV management committee where unanimous agreement is required on critical mining decision
The back-in right does not apply to any gold deposit, defined as a deposit where the value of gold and silver are three times greater than the value of base metals, using 6-month average metal prices at closing as defined at the date of the agreement. As such, gold deposits are solely to the Falco account.
Glencore retains a 1-2% NSR on all metals on mineral claims transferred to Falco. Where historic royalties exist, the combined royalty is capped at 3 to 4%. In areas with no prior royalties, the NSR is capped at 2%.
Glencore has the right to explore for and exploit smelter materials (e.g. flux) in all areas. Should smelter materials be mined from the Falco properties, Falco will receive a royalty of $0.50 per tonne plus 50% of any gold which may be recovered
Glencore retains their rights of first refusal for custom milling and smelting of base metal production
