#PathToProduction

Acquisition of Aureus Gold Terms of transaction Aurelius acquired the Aureus Gold Properties in consideration for the Deferred Payments, payable as follows: a) US$2,500,000 within 90 days of filing a National Instrument 43-101 technical report in respect of all or part of the Aureus Gold Properties that establishes a minimum of 500,000 contained equivalent ounces of gold in the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource Categories; and b) US$5,700,000 on the first anniversary of the filing of a NI 43-101 feasibility study on all or part of the Aureus Gold Properties *Aurelius has the right, for a period of three years from the closing of the Acquisition, to extinguish the Deferred Payments for consideration of US$4,000,000 payable in cash or in Aurelius Shares to Sprott Lending, less any prior payments made in cash or Aurelius Shares.

In conjunction with the transaction Sprott Lending also acquired 25,000,000 Aurelius Shares on a private placement basis at a price of $0.064 per Aurelius Share (the “Private Placement”), which represents gross proceeds to Aurelius of C$1,600,000. 4

PATH TO PRODUCTION

Develop Aureus West to confirm in pit ounces

Aurelius plans to grow Aureus East to contain 500 koz Au Measured & Indicated. Project anticipates finding high grade saddles at depth. Current drilling at depth only intersecting limbs.

Plans include growing resource to contain 250 koz Au Measured & Indicated

Fall 2020 Confirm Presence of High-Grade Saddles at Depth

Winter 2020 Upgrade known area of mineralization to M&I

10,000m underground drilling

5,000m surface drilling

Winter 2020 Upgrade Current Inferred Resources to M&I

Spring 2021 Grow deposit along strike and depth

8,000m surface drilling

5,000m surface drilling

5,000m underground drilling

Summer/Fall 2021 Establish M&I Resources

Spring 2021 Upgrade High Grade Saddles at Depth to M&I

10,000m surface drilling

25m spacing and 10,000m of drilling

Tangier Proximity to Infrastructure Tangier is located directly on the highway, providing efficient, low cost access to transportation.

Potential to Add High Grade Resources in Surrounding Areas Area B shows good grades continuing to the west of the resources. Area C shows a good intercept to the east of the resources.

Unmodeled, High Grade Resources Strawberry Hill Zone to the east, unmodeled, best intercept 13 g/t over 4.4m. Corrected, it would add additional high-grade resources and improve the valuation of the project. Category

Forest Hill

Future Exploration Potential Based on available information, Forest Hill veins have only been modestly explored up – or down – dip from the mine workings providing for future exploration opportunities High Grade Resources There are a cluster of grades discovered to the north-east of the main trend Cheap Resource Growth Mines with high grade resources that remain undrilled. Some samples appear to be poorly taken above and below. Checking assays for errors, availability of certificates and core confirmation could result in a cheap, growth opportunity.

ABITIBI GREENSTONE BELT Largest Greenstone Belt in the World

Numerous producing and past producing mines

Over 180Moz Au, 35Blbs Zn, 15Blbs Cu, and 400Moz Ag produced to date

MIKWAM PROPERTY Strategically located along the structural trend that cuts through Hecla’s Casa Berardi mine (3.75Moz Reserves and Resources), towards Osisko Mining’s Windfall Lake (5.1Moz indicated and Inferred)

MIKWAM 3D MINERALIZATION

Recent drill program intersected highest grade broad intercept of gold in project history (26.1m @ 7.1g/t Au) 100% of drilling intersected strong mineralization highlighting tremendous upside Current Inferred Resource – 136,000 oz Au, 1.8Mt @ 2.34 gpt open for expansion in all directions 15

MIKWAM GEOLOGY MIKWAM EXPLORATION CROSS SECTION 2305E (Thickness: 40m) The Mikwam Property lies in the Harricana-Turgeon belt within the northern portion of the Abitibi greenstone belt, this belt hosts polymetallic deposits and multimillion-ounce gold deposits such as the Eagle mine, the Casa-Berardi mine and the Detour mine.

Recent exploration has concentrated on the A8 3200 vein system which consists of a zone of quartz flooding, silicification, and sulphidization which lies at or near the contact of chloritic iron formation and either argillite or conglomerate. Medium to coarse grained cubic pyrite and coarse grained arsenopyrite within a highly sericitized, quartz flooded matrix comprises the bulk of the mineralized gold zone. The best gold values tend to be associated with pyrite containing vugs. Mikwam and the Casa Berardi mine are both situated on Casa Berardi Deformation Zone (CBDZ).
