Strong Conceptual Model Golden Martini ü High sulphidation epithermal systems like Brewer are typically created by a big volcanic event that drives channels of fluidized rock (the gin and vermouth) from deep below (the base of the glass) upward through the stem of the glass. ü An olive in the cocktail represents a hot zone of high-grade mineralization. ü The wide circumference of the top of the glass is the visible alteration, often with a silica cap, which Brewer has in abundance. ü Large, highly altered zones like Brewer often contain multiple olives, in clusters.

Golden Brownfields Upside ü Former gold discovery (178k oz Au past production; 1987-1995) exposed at surface with coincident geophysical expression and geochemical gold-copper bullseye. ü Largely untested below 200 meters and open at depth, with abundant and diverse evidence of intrusion-related gold-copper mineralization beneath historic workings. ü Mined pits are <2% of sub-regional gold footprint. ü Near surface gold-copper very likely “the tip of an iceberg,” possibly containing multiple deposits beneath and around the shallow open pits.
Out of 1,000 historic drill holes at Brewer, only 9 went deeper than 200m below surface.
ü The large multielement geochemical and alteration bullseye suggests a very large heat engine at depth. www.panconresources.com
17
Next Steps ü Pancon will continue leveraging historic and fresh data to systematically explore the projected gold-copper porphyry system at depth as well as in satellite zones. ü Since Holes 4 and 5 were drilled vertically through and below the 55-65 meters of reclaimed material from the former mining operation and into natural rock, we intend to drill more vertical holes through and below the former mine in our upcoming Phase 2 program. ü Pancon also intends to conduct comprehensive mapping, geophysics, sampling and shallow drilling across the entire Brewer property as well as on Pancon’s 100%-owned Jefferson Project that nearly completely surrounds Brewer. * Pancon

Brewer History Brewer becomes a Superfund Site 1990 Flood Event Drilling in 1970s Drilling in the 1970s returned 64.3m of 3.3 g/t Au and 0.5% Cu from 30.8m to 95.1 m Reason to believe the oxide might be heap leachable.
1828
1970
First Mined in 1820s $450k dollars of gold production was mined (2/3 from placer mining from the Tanyard Syncline and 1/3 from the open pit).
In 1990, following historic rainstorms, a tailings dam breached and >10 million gallons of cyanide solution contaminated the nearby creek and river. The dam and plastic-lined tailings pond were repaired, and the company resumed mining in 1991.
1983
1990
Circa 1983-1995 Chris Cherrywell (Pancon’sTechnical Advisor) was the lead geologist responsible for discovering the oxide potential of the Brewer Gold Mine in 1983-84. High-grade oxide gold was mined near surface (down to ~50 meters) by oxide-specific heap leach technology, in total 178,000 ounces of gold from 1987-95. Sulphide-hosted gold and copper below 30 meters depth was known, but since there was no way to process it, the sulphide-rich ore was stockpiled on surface and left in the open pit.
www.panconresources.com
When the company abandoned the site in 1999, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) took title to the site and oversaw water treatment operations to contain acid rock drainage. In 2005, the EPA placed Brewer on the Superfund National Priorities List. The EPA today confirms that Brewer, under its current control and maintenance (costing ~US$1 million/year) poses no threat to people at or near the site, nor to the natural environment.
1995
1999
Water Treatment In 1995, Brewer Gold Company notified the State of South Carolina of its intent to stop operations at the mine. The State required Brewer to close and reclaim the mine. During reclamation activities, acid drainage began to emerge and Brewer constructed a water treatment plant which they operated from 1995 to 1999. 25
Brewer Option Agreement ü In February 2019, a South Carolina State circuit court appointed the Brewer Gold Receiver (www.brewergold.com), who was tasked to find a qualified company to explore for new gold-copper mineralization and to ensure Brewer remains clean and environmentally safe. ü Following a competitive process throughout 2019, Pancon, in cooperation with Environmental Risk Transfer LLC (ERT), was selected as the winner on January 20, 2020. ü Key terms of the Option Agreement: •
Initial term of 24 months, commencing April 1, 2020. When Pancon spends US$2 million to conduct exploration and environmental due diligence during the initial term, the Company can extend the option term for an additional 18 months and exercise its option to purchase.
•
During the option term, Pancon will conduct exploration and engage ERT – an industry leader providing complex environmental risk-transfer solutions to cost-effectively eliminate environmental liabilities – to implement the environmental due diligence required to determine the Superfund liability at Brewer.
•
According to the Option Agreement, there will be two components of the purchase price if Pancon exercises its option: 1. the cost of an environmental remedy and financial assurance for owning all past environmental liability at Brewer; the final number will be based on a previous estimate by the EPA and on ERT’s upcoming environmental due diligence, both of which will inform negotiations with the Receiver and the Government; and 2. half of total past costs incurred by the Government to clean and manage Brewer since 1999, which, according to Pancon’s and ERT’s winning proposal, will be paid after future mining operations are commissioned, in ten annual installments of 10%, and conditioned on the future mine operator’s ability to pay based on a profit formula to be determined by the parties.
•
These two components will be finalized in a Purchase and Sale Agreement, which will supersede this Option Agreement, and which will be informed by ERT’s environmental due diligence and ERT’s and Pancon’s negotiations with the Receiver, US EPA and SC DHEC.

ERT: Industry Leaders with Environmental Assurance ü Pancon is working in cooperation with ERT (https://www.environmentalrisktransfer.com), a privately owned company specializing in purchasing, cleaning up, and turning a profit from environmental contaminated and condemned sites, including Superfund sites. ERT is the sector leader in the US environmental risk transfer industry. ü The Waterfield Group (https://www.waterfield.com) and Environmental Operations, Inc. (https://www.environmentalops.com) created ERT to provide complex environmental risk-transfer solutions to corporations that wish to cost-effectively eliminate environmental liability. By offering integrated environmental experience with innovative financial products, ERT provides clients with best in class solutions that define, mitigate and contain environmental and financial liability.
Eliminating Environmental Risk Combined financial, operational, technical and risk management expertise to provide the best in class solutions that define, mitigate and contain environmental and financial liability backed by innovative financial products
Robust Environmental Risk Transfer Solution With proven success in the USA with Superfund site and strong relationships with EPA, industry leaders and State and Federal governments, Waterfield/ERT is ready to deliver assurance and consent decree within 12 months of license to explore is granted. Environmental Risk Transfer or its affiliates would assume pre-existing environmental conditions, take title to the property, sign a Consent Decree with EPA to perform the remedy for pre-existing conditions and execute a lease with the mining operator containing an indemnity for the mining operator for pre-existing environmental conditions.
