TREASURY METALS – EXPLORATION FOCUS
Exploration Program Focus
+ Infill and expansion in the Main Zone resource area:
– Designed to increase resource and upgrade into the Indicated category for Feasibility Study, adding open pit ounces and improve strip ratio
– Central and western portion of Main Zone and C Zone
– Drilling Main Zone at Depth
+ Drilling in the C Zone
- Further delineate the C Zone in open pit areas / new C Zone shoots to add open pit ounces, extend mine life and improve stripping ratio
+ Identifying new open pit material outside resource area:
– New mineralized shoot identified in summer along 7 km mineralized trend
– C Zone and new Norman property acquisition

+
GOLIATH GOLD PROJECT – EXPLORATION PROGRAM

GOLIATH GOLD PROJECT- OPEN PIT DEPOSIT
+ Two principle zones: Main Zone and C Zone. Planer in nature and dipping at approx. 75 degrees and the ore body is consistent.
+ Average widths of 5 metres and 30 metres for Main and C Zones respectively with the C Zone situated approx. 40 metres behind the Main Zone (North) and runs parallel.

GOLIATH GOLD PROJECT – PROJECT ECONOMICS FROM PEA
+ Positive results from PEA indicate a profitable open pit followed by underground (UG) mine.
– 10+ year total mine life;
– 2500 tpd C.I.L Plant, producing 80,000 oz/year;
– LOM average feed grade of 2.87 g/t Au and 9.30 g/t Ag;
– $92 Million Capex, UG development supported by cash flows. Total LOM capital cost of $200M
– Mining Costs – $3.01/t Open Pit, $60 /t UG, $15.80 Processing, Total of $700 Cash cost/oz;
– After Tax NPV (5%) of $144.3M, IRR 32.4%, 2.8 year payback. Pre-Tax values – NPV $199.0M, IRR 39.3%, 2.2 year payback.
– 9.3:1 overall stripping ratio. Opportunity to lower in east pit with additional Main and C Zone drilling
The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
