DEFINED STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES KEY-STAGED PROGRAMS
(YEAR 4 OF A 5 YEAR PROGRAM)
STAGE 1 - 100% COMPLETED (2018) INITIAL FIELD VALIDATION EXPLORATION PROGRAM Compilation-synthesis work (2D) ascertaining true gold and gold/base metal upside potential Collect initial field data and sampling to outline and demonstrate potential Complete 3 stripped trenches (14,905m² ) with channel samples and grab samples (1,429 Samples)
STAGE 2 - 100% COMPLETED (2019) DELINEATE SIZE POTENTIAL OF MINERALIZED SYSTEM 7 strategic lines/trenches (25,773m² ) for geology and trends Channel sampling, assaying (3,338 samples) Execute 6km x 1.5km Target Area Magnetic UAV survey, plus additional ground surveys (Orthophotos) Determine validity of bulk tonnage resources model incorporating polymetallic veins
STAGE 3 – 100% COMPLETED (2020) STEPS TO DEFINE SIZE OF MINERALIZED SYSTEM Refurbishment of core facility Acquisition of Brenbar property – mapping and channel sampling In-fill ground I.P Geophysical Surveys Executed (31DDH) 7,937 m of diamond drilling on targeted anomalies Completed 2D and 3D extensive, comprehensive GIS database
STAGE 4 - 2021 CONTINUED DEFINITION OF MINERALIZED SYSTEM Geological and Geophysical Modelling – targeting of discrete exploration targets Generate genetic mineralization model Execute approximately 10,000 m of diamond drilling on targeted anomalies
