To fully permit and build Mara Rosa into a profitable gold mine with minimal dilution
LONG TERM GOAL
To use the cash flow from Mara Rosa to fully explore the 22 targets at Lavras do Sul
NEW LEADERSHIP
Rich history of success in project development, operations management and business turnaround in Canada and Latin America
• Invested over $2M CAD in the last year
Near Term Timelines / Catalysts
• Exploration Drilling has commenced – 10k meters of drill results to be reported throughout the year

> Blue sky exploration: step out drilling along trend and down dip from currently defined resources
• Whittle Optimization Study ongoing – by year end will deliver new resource and optimized case to mine Mara Rosa gold deposit
• New resource early next year
• Beginning of Bankable Feasibility Study – expected in early 2019
