June 2012

1.0 SUMMARY Redhawk Resource, Inc. and Redhawk Copper, Inc. (Redhawk) requested Independent Mining Consultants, Inc. (IMC) to develop a resource estimate for the breccia and porphyry deposits which lie within Redhawk’s Copper Creek Property in Pinal County, Arizona, USA. These deposits contain copper mineralization with associated molybdenum (moly), gold and silver, in potentially economic concentrations. The current mineral resource is an update to the one reported by IMC in October 2008 and documented in its report “Copper Creek 2008 Mineral Resource – Pinal Country, Arizona, USA – Technical Report”, dated October 28, 2008 (filed on SEDAR) and used for the March 2010 Scoping Study described below. In March 2010, a scoping study for a selective underground mining project was prepared by K D Engineering Co., Inc., “Redhawk Copper, Inc. Copper Creek Project – 2,500 – 10,000 tpd Scoping Study”. This targeted a small underground mining approach. The resource has increased since that study and the development approach has shifted to a large bulk mining method either by open pit or underground. The results of the March 2010 scoping study do not apply to the current thinking for the development of the 2012 mineral resource. The scoping study has been referenced, but its conclusions and financial results no longer apply to Redhawk’s management direction for the project. 1.1 Property Description The Copper Creek property is located in Pinal County, Arizona on the east flank of the Galiuro Mountains. The property is approximately 75 miles (120.7 km) northeast of Tucson, Arizona and 15 miles (24.1 km) from San Manuel, Arizona. The property includes all or portions of section 33 T7S R18E, sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 T8S R18E G&SRB&M. The property ownership is comprised of approximately 1,005 acres (406.7 hectares) of Patented Federal Mining claims, three Arizona State Prospecting Permits totaling 729.93 acres (295.4 hectares), 216 unpatented Federal Lode Mining claims owned by Redhawk, and four unpatented Federal Lode Mining claims under lease purchase agreement to Redhawk. The total acreage controlled by Redhawk on the Copper Creek property is more than 5,015 acres (2,030 hectares). The property is situated in the Bunker Hill Mining District. Figure 4-1 and 4-2 illustrate the property location. 1.2 History and Background Mining activity in the Copper Creek district is reported to have started in 1863. During the 1880s there was mining of silver and in the early 1900s interest began in the high grade breccia pipes. During the period of 1950s through 1990s, various companies explored at Copper Creek, each building on the knowledge of the previous companies. Between 1960 and 1995, 77 deep holes were drilled to try and understand the source of the mineralization for the breccia deposits and determine if there was a large porphyry style deposit at depth. In 1995, AMT (USA), Inc. acquired the property and focused on the Old Reliable and some of

the breccia deposits for its exploration work. Redhawk took over the property in 2004 and started its drilling program in 2006. Redhawk has spent a great deal of time organizing the information and drill core developed by the previous companies. Redhawk has drilled 72 holes (163,527 feet) since it took over the property. 1.3 Deposit Description The Copper Creek mineralization consists of chalcopyrite, bornite, and chalcocite. Copper oxide minerals locally replace sulphides in the near surface supergene weathering environment. A chalcocite enriched, supergene zone forms the principal part of the Old Reliable deposit above the water table. Molybdenite occurs in sufficient amounts in the Childs-Aldwinkle breccia, the Old Reliable breccia, the Keel, and the American Eagle to be of economic interest. Gold and silver occur but have not been systematically assayed by previous owners. Redhawk has re-assayed individual intervals to better understand the precious metal grade distribution where previous owners had assayed long composite runs. Near-surface mineralization at Copper Creek occurs predominately in the breccia bodies. Sulfides are concentrated within the breccia matrix, and are dominated by chalcopyrite, bornite, and pyrite, with minor chalcocite in the upper parts of some pipes. High-grade mineralization in the breccias typically occurs as prominent masses and clots of copper minerals filling open spaces, or as sheeted veins along the edges of the pipes. Relative levels of copper, molybdenum, gold and silver vary considerably from breccia to breccia. Recent drilling indicates that the deeper American Eagle and Keel porphyry-style resources are connected and form a single copper-mineralized body at least 5000 feet long northwest-southeast, which is open in most directions. This mineralized body is controlled by a broad dome-shaped zone of common, subhorizontal to steep EDM quartz-sulfide veins. These veins display thin centerlines of quartz and sulfides, surrounded by much thicker halos of biotite, sericite, and abundant copper sulphides. The EDM vein zone is hosted mostly in Copper Creek granodiorite but appears centered on a cluster of syn-mineral granodiorite porphyry bodies. In parts of the American Eagle zone, many EDM veins are re-opened as semi-massive chalcopyrite-bearing veins that enhance the copper grade. Superimposed on the EDM vein zone are breccias and zones of intense quartz-sericite alteration, both of which tend to carry high-grade copper which further upgrades the same volume of rock. A near-vertical set of EDM veins extends above the well mineralized dome-shaped EDM vein zone to the present surface, where outcropping veins are widespread and typically trend east-northeast. Sulfides in the American Eagle and Keel zones are zoned with depth, with pyrite-dominant mineralization near the surface transitioning into chalcopyrite-dominant rock in the better mineralized zones, with increasing bornite at depth. 1.4 Drill Hole Data Exploration drilling has been conducted by most of the previous owners of the Copper Creek property, and Redhawk commenced drilling during the fourth quarter 2006. For the 2012 mineral resource update, the data base consists of 545 holes for a total of 632,660 feet of drilling. Since it took over the property and started drilling in 2006, Redhawk has drilled 72

holes totaling 163,527 feet. Of the 72 holes drilled by Redhawk, 42 were included in the 2008 mineral resource and 30 holes (115,334 feet) have been added since then, along with assays for previous drilling which was not assayed when drilled (including intervals from both Redhawk and previous owners). There are six mineralized areas which are of interest at Copper Cheek and are the combinations of the breccia zones (Globe, Copper Prince, Old Reliable, Childs-Aldwinkle, and the Mammoth) with the deeper porphyry mineralization (Keel, which is below the Mammoth breccia and the American Eagle, to the southeast of the Keel). Figure 1-1 shows the drill holes and the limits of the mineralized areas. Table 1-1 summarizes the number of holes, footage and number intervals plus intervals with assays for copper, moly, and silver within each of the mineralized area limits shown on the map. The total number of holes on this table exceeds the 545 total because some holes cross from one area to another.

1.5 Mineral Resource In the Copper Creek 43-101 Technical Report, dated October 28, 2008, individual models were constructed by IMC for each of the seven Copper Creek deposits (Copper Prince, Globe, Old Reliable, Childs-Aldwinkle, Mammoth, Keel and American Eagle) and resources were reported separately for each deposit. These models were designed to evaluate a selective, underground mining approach. The resources reported here are obtained from a single model that covers the entire Copper Creek area and which is designed to investigate bulk mining potential. Grades in the IMC model were estimated using inverse distance to the tenth power (ID10) in three estimation domains: the high grade breccias, the lower grade upper zone and the higher grade lower zone. The lower zone was estimated with a 550ft by 500ft (horizontal) and 200ft vertical search, and the upper zone and breccias were estimated with a 100ft by 100 ft (horizontal) and 500ft vertical search. The boundaries between the three domains were treated as hard boundaries. The deposit mineralization was modeled using a variety of methods ranging from ordinary kriging to nearest neighbor polygon and the inverse distance method discussed above provided the best representation of the distribution of mineralization between the other two methods. The mineral resource in Table 1-3 is tabulated at a 0.20% copper equivalent (CuEq) within a cone geometry based on $3.00/lb copper equivalent, current estimates of recoveries for copper, molybdenum and silver and operating costs. Input information for the calculation of the CuEq grades and the cone economics used to define the reported mineral resource are shown on Table 1-2. Other cutoffs are shown on Table 1-3 to provide an indication of the distribution of tonnage and grade. Tonnages were calculated assuming a constant density of 12.5 cu ft/ton (2.56 g/cc). Resources were classified as measured, indicated or inferred based on the number of holes within the search, kriging variance and estimation uncertainties introduced by the presence of holes with unassayed intervals. In preparing this estimate IMC has assumed that all of the data supplied to it, including assay and survey data, are correct to within normally-accepted limits of error. The CuEq equation based on the metal prices and recoveries included in Table 1-2 is: CuEq% = Cu% + 3.879 x Mo% + 0.011 x Ag(ppm). The 2008 mineral resource was based on higher costs and lower metal prices thus required higher cutoff grades to define the mineral resource. It had a combined measured and indicated tonnage of 27.3 million tons at average grades of 1.05% Cu and 0.018% Mo, plus an inferred tonnage of 159.2 million tons averaging 0.76% Cu and 0.016% Mo. The current resource is significantly larger due both an increase in the definition of the mineralization and the change in project scope (to a large bulk mining approach) which lowers the cutoff grade for definition of the resource.

1.6 Conclusions and Recommendations It is the opinion of IMC that the mineral resource presented in Table 1-3 at the 0.20% CuEq cutoff grade is a reasonable representation of the Copper Creek mineral resource based on the currently available data and understanding of the deposits. IMC recommends that work continue at Copper Creek in accordance with the proposed Redhawk work plan which is briefly summarized as:

• Based on the 2012 mineral resource, evaluate the best mining approach to develop the resource as a large tonnage operation either by open pit or underground.

• Continue the assaying of older drill holes un-assayed intervals to fill in the drill hole data base.

• Continue with the metallurgical test work. • Continue with the evaluation of water sources. • Continue work on the geologic model of the deposits. • Develop the targets for the initial shallow drilling of vein zones and the larger

breccias over the deeper resource. • Evaluate locations for tailings and waste rock storage. • Depending on the results of the trade off study between an open pit and large

underground mining approach, define the next steps for the selected method.

2.0 INTRODUCTION AND TERMS OF REFERENCE Redhawk Resource, Inc. and Redhawk Copper, Inc. (Redhawk) requested Independent Mining Consultants, Inc. (IMC) to develop a resource estimate for the breccia and porphyry deposits which lie within Redhawk’s Copper Creek Property in Pinal County, Arizona, USA. These deposits contain copper mineralization with associated molybdenum (moly), gold and silver, in potentially economic concentrations. The current mineral resource is an update to the one reported by IMC in October 2008 and documented in its report “Copper Creek 2008 Mineral Resource – Pinal Country, Arizona, USA – Technical Report”, dated October 28, 2008 (filed on SEDAR). In March 2010, a scoping study for a selective underground mining project was prepared by K D Engineering Co., Inc., “Redhawk Copper, Inc. Copper Creek Project – 2,500 – 10,000 tpd Scoping Study”. This targeted a small underground mining approach. The resource has increased since that study and the development approach has shifted to a large bulk mining method either by open pit or underground. The results of the March 2010 scoping study do not apply to the current thinking for the development of the 2012 mineral resource. The scoping study has been referenced, but its conclusions and financial results no longer apply to Redhawk’s management direction for the project. The Qualified Person with IMC responsible for this report is Herb Welhener. Herb Welhener visited the Copper Creek site last on September 10, 2011. This report is in English units. Tons are short tons and ktons mean 1,000 short tons. Copper and molybdenum grades are in % per short ton (%) and silver grades are in ppm. All tonnages reported in this document are in dry tons.

3.0 RELIANCE ON OTHER EXPERTS – DISCLAIMER IMC has relied on information provided by Redhawk, its consultants, and information provided in two previous reports on the property for the development of the current mineral resource estimate:

• “Redhawk Copper, Inc. – Copper Creek Project – 2,500 – 10,000 tpd Scoping Study”, prepared by K D Engineering, Co., Inc., dated 12 March 2010.

• “Copper Creek 2008 Mineral Resource – Pinal County, Arizona, USA – Technical Report”, prepared by Independent Mining Consultants, Inc., dated October 28, 2008. This report is on the previous mineral resource prior to the current one.

Where possible, IMC has confirmed the information provided by comparison against other data sources. Where check and confirmation were not possible, IMC has assumed that all information supplied is complete and reliable within normally accepted limits of error. During the normal course of the review, IMC has not discovered any reason to doubt that assumption. IMC has not specifically reviewed or audited the property ownership, but has briefly reviewed the ownership and agreements between Redhawk and others concerning the rights of Redhawk to explore on the property. IMC has not field verified any of the claim or exploration permit boundaries. Information regarding the property situation at Copper Creek within this report has been produced by Redhawk as required under NI43-101. IMC has not reviewed the environmental situation at the property. IMC has assumed that any required permits for exploration are current. IMC had not field checked any of the drill hole locations, but has been informed that Redhawk has done this work as part of its due diligence when acquiring the property. IMC has not audited the proposed expenditure budgets of Redhawk and does not offer a professional opinion regarding the reliability of future Redhawk budgets. IMC has not audited the metallurgical test work and has relied on the review by K D Engineering, Co., Inc. (KDE), which has done this review. IMC has relied on cost estimates by KDE and Milne & Associates, Inc. (Milne), which is the underground consultant to Redhawk.

4.2 Land and Tenure and Property Agreements The Copper Creek Property comprises one contiguous group of 53 patented and 220 unpatented Federal claims and three Arizona State Mineral Exploration Leases. All the above mineral titles are held directly by Redhawk Copper, (USA) Inc. (Figure 4-3). The claims information in Appendix A is not a legal title opinion but is a compilation of claims data based on information supplied to the author by Redhawk Copper, (USA) Inc. Redhawk has informed the author that the claims and prospecting permits are properly maintained and all appropriate fees have been paid. Based on this information, the claims and leases appear to be in good standing as of the date of this report. To renew unpatented claims, an Annual Maintenance Fee of US$ 125 per claim levied by the Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) must be paid on or before 1 September each year. The current annual maintenance cost of the unpatented claims is approximately US$ 27,500. In addition, there is a small yearly County filing fee for the unpatented claims. There are currently three Arizona State mineral exploration permits that belong to the Copper Creek landholdings. These permits are valid for five years, assuming the work requirements are fulfilled each year. All three leases, which expire mid-2013, are in the name of Redhawk Copper, Inc. There is a renewal fee of US$ 100 each per year. In addition, there is a fieldwork requirement due (or cash in lieu of work) for each lease, and that is in the amount of US$ 10 per acre for years 2 & 3 and US$ 20 per acre for years 4 & 5. The three permits encompass a total of 729.93 acres. The work must be done on these permits, or approximately US$ 7,300 must be paid as cash in lieu. The patented claims and some of the unpatented claims have been surveyed; the permits have not been surveyed (their location is determined by a legal description (i.e. Section, Range, Township, etc). Annual property taxes to Pinal County are currently US$ 2,364. Surface title over the area of the Federal unpatented claims and State exploration permits is under BLM and State jurisdiction respectively. The surface title over the patented claims is held by Redhawk Copper, Inc. The surface access to carry out work to the BLM and State land is through normal BLM and State permitting procedures respectively.

5.0 ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSIOGRAPHY The Copper Creek Property is located in a ranching and mining area about 75 road miles northeast of Tucson, Arizona (Figure 4-1). Tucson is a major population center and transportation hub with well-developed infrastructure and services to support the area mines. Access to the property from Tucson is by paved highway 65 miles to the property road junction, then 10 miles on gravel road to the site. The driving time from Tucson to the site is approximately two hours. A network of ranch and mine roads provides access to most parts of the property. The Copper Creek Property is located in rugged terrain of the eastern Basin and Range physiographic province of South Eastern Arizona. Elevations on the property range from 3,400 ft to 4,900 ft above mean sea level. Climate varies with elevation, but over most of the property summers are hot and dry and winters are mild. Data collected over a fifty-year period at a weather station approximately 10 miles from site at an elevation of 3,500 ft indicates the average summer temperatures range from a low of 67.4oF at night to a high of 96oF during the day. During winter, average temperatures range from a low of 35.7oF at night to a high of 61.8oF during the day. The lowest temperature recorded was 12oF and the highest recorded temperature was 111oF. Precipitation data collected from the same weather site indicates the average annual rainfall ranges from 6.3 to 26.8 inches and averages 13.8 inches per year. A rain gauge maintained on Copper Creek since 1987 recorded average annual rainfall of 13.0 inches in a range of 8.94 inches to 24.7 inches. Occasional light snow falls at higher elevations in the winter months. The average annual evaporation rate, approximately 90 inches per year, greatly exceeds the average annual precipitation rate. Vegetation, including various cactus, mesquite and palo verde trees, grasses and scrub brush, are common in the area. The area has an exceptionally well-developed mining infrastructure. BHP’s San Manuel operation was located approximately 10 miles to the west of Copper Creek. This operation was shutdown in 2001, but substantial infrastructure including roads, power, and towns are available near Copper Creek. The large operating mine/concentrator/smelter complex owned by Asarco (Grupo Mexico SA) is located at Hayden, 30 miles to the northwest of Copper Creek. Other similar facilities are located throughout Arizona. The previous property operator carried out ground water studies and determined that adequate water for exploration drilling and any possible future mining operation may be obtained from wells on or near the property.

6.0 HISTORY 6.1 The Early Years According to old reports, some rich lead-silver ore was mined from the Bluebird vein as early as 1863; however, the Bunker Hill (Copper Creek) mining district was not organized until 1883, after completion of the transcontinental Southern Pacific railroad (1880). Some ore was shipped from the Bluebird vein during the 1880s silver boom, Claims were staked to cover copper deposits prior to 1900, but little work was done in the district until after 1902. Principal freight access was over the crest of the Galiuro mountains, to Wilcox. In 1903, Copper Creek mining Company acquired claims covering narrow copper-silver veins in Tertiary-age volcanic rocks near the headwaters of Copper Creek and later acquired ground along Copper Creek, as far west as the Laramide-age Old Reliable pipe deposit. The wagon road from Mammoth to Copper Creek reportedly was constructed in 1908; this provided more favorable freight haul after the railroad extended to Winkleman in 1911. By 1913, the Copper Creek Mining Company and its successors (the Minnesota-Arizona Mining Company and Copper State Metals Mining Company) had constructed a dam, power plant, dispensary and 200 ton per day gravity concentrator in the vicinity of Post Office Point. They had developed and mined a small, tabular breccia ore body at American Eagle; the Old Reliable pipe deposit was partially developed for mining and was connected to the concentrator with about two miles of narrow gauge railroad. By the end of 1913, the company was in default and employees were working the Old Reliable to recover unpaid wages. The company was refinanced in 1914 and operated at Old Reliable where about 30,000 tons were produced prior to shutdown in 1919. The Old Reliable claim group was surveyed for patent in 1919. Commencing in 1907, the Calumet and Arizona Mining Company (C & A), guided by Ira Joralemon, explored the Copper Giant, Copper Prince, Glory Hole (Globe), and Superior pipes by adits, shafts and drifts. To supplement the underground exploration, C & A drilled about 6,000 ft in fourteen surface holes, during 1914. A copper resource was found in both the Glory Hole and Prince pipes, but there was no production. The C & A group of 26 claims was surveyed for patent between 1908 and 1919; title passed to Phelps Dodge Corporation in 1931 when it purchased the Calumet and Arizona company. The only recorded production from the C & A ground has been by Arizona Molybdenum Corporation which mined and milled 23,312 tons from the Copper Prince pipe with average grade of 3.19 percent copper, during 1937. Written logs of the C & A drill holes reside in Redhawk’s files, but core has not been located.

C & A holes are numbered DH-1 through DH-14. An adit, driven below the outcrops of the Childs Aldwinkle pipes in 1915, discovered the copper-molybdenum ore body there and the pipes were partly developed for production during 1917-1918; the claims were surveyed in 1916 and patented in 1919. Arizona Molybdenum Corporation acquired the property in 1933 and proceeded to develop the copper

and molybdenum ore body to 520 ft below the haulage level. The old Arizona-Minnesota Mining Company gravity concentrator was converted to flotation; about 350 tons per day were processed. In 1935, a new flotation concentrator was constructed on the Childs Aldwinkle property, near the portal of the haulage adit; about 300 tons per day were processed there. Between 1933 and 1938, about 329,000 tons were milled. Leasers worked the mine in 1939 and again during 1957-1965. At some time prior to 1957, the Childs Aldwinkle winze was extended to 680 ft below the haulage adit; the 680 level was developed and six short holes were drilled there by Inspiration Consolidated Copper Company; Magma Copper Company obtained logs of these holes from Inspiration in 1967. These logs are in Redhawk's files, but the core has not been located. Holes drilled by Inspiration at Childs Aldwinkle: H-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 During his work at Copper Creek for C & A, Ira Joralemon postulated that the area between the chalcocite-enriched Old Reliable and Glory Hole pipes may be underlain by a chalcocite blanket of commercial tenor. In the late 1940's, Copper Creek Consolidated Mining Company (Morris Elsing) secured the patented claims at Old Reliable and, during 1950, drilled four holes with a churn-drill to disprove Joralemon’s idea. Copper Creek Consolidated held the Old Reliable property, without recorded production, until about 1954. Holes drilled by Morris Elsing near Old Reliable: CDH-1, 2, 3, 4 6.2 The Modern Era In 1956, Siskon Corporation acquired ground that had been part of the more westerly properties of the old Copper State Metals Mining Company, most in Sections 10, 11 and 14. Siskon’s principal interest was the Old Reliable mine. The Old Reliable had been rehabilitated and sampled in 1942 and 1943 by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and very encouraging results reported in RI 4006 (1947). Siskon drilled 21 diamond core holes from the 100 and 200 levels of the Old Reliable mine. Neither logs nor core are available.

Holes drilled by Siskon at Old Reliable: OR1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18; SW-1, 2, 3

In 1959, Bear Creek Mining Company (Kennecott) optioned the Siskon ground and also the Childs Aldwinkle patented claims. Bear Creek mounted the first integrated exploration (geologic mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys, followed by drilling), at Copper Creek. Fifteen holes were drilled there by Bear Creek and several of these cut mineralized zones. However, none of the Bear Creek intersections appeared to be minable and they abandoned the project in 1962. The Bear Creek drill core was stored in a cabin at the Old Reliable under care of watchman Pete Carey. This core was moved to a warehouse at Magma’s plant in San Manuel in 1967 and is now in the possession of Redhawk.

In 1966, Newmont Exploration Limited (NEL) optioned the Siskon property and enlisted Magma Copper Company (80.3 percent owned by Newmont Mining Corporation) as co-venturer and operator. The Childs Aldwinkle patented claims were also optioned, as were adjacent claims owned by Clark, Downey and Lehman as well as the patented Redbird claims (Bluebird Mine). Additional claims were located to cover open Federal land and State land was leased. This land package forms the bulk of the property Redhawk holds at Copper Creek, today. Exploration was directed toward discovery of a major disseminated copper deposit; breccia pipes were not a primary target. Between 1966 and 1970, geology of the district was mapped and 30 deep core holes were drilled. Core from these and all other JV holes drilled at Copper Creek was stored in a warehouse at Magma’s plant at San Manuel, until June, 2005. This work demonstrated a significant copper-mineralized zone, at depth, beneath the American Eagle Area. Magma became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont in 1969. Holes drilled by Magma - Newmont: Siskon claims SK-1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 Bonbright claims B-20, 24, 29, 30 (Childs Aldwinkle) Downey claims D-5, 8, 9, 13, 26 Lehman claims L-10, 12, 19, 25, 27 Magma - Newmont claims M-22, 28 A-11 S-14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 23 Although Newmont acquired the Siskon ground in 1966, Siskon retained the right to deal separately with the upper part of the Old Reliable pipe and certain adjacent claims, for a period of 15 years. In 1968, Occidental Minerals Corporation (Oxymin) leased that ground from Siskon and also optioned part of the adjacent Phelps Dodge ground that covered the mineralized Glory Hole, Copper Prince and Copper Giant pipes. The old workings that C & A had driven to test the (Phelps Dodge) pipes were rehabilitated above the water table and Oxymin drilled 67 surface and underground holes to test the Old Reliable, Glory Hole, Prince and Giant pipes. Oxymin released their option on the Phelps Dodge ground in about 1970. Redhawk has copies of Oxymin core logs, but no logs for percussion holes; location of the core is not known.

Ranchers drilled three holes to confirm results of Oxymin drill holes; logs of the Ranchers holes are in Redhawk’s file, but location of the core is not known. In 1972, Ranchers, in association with Du Pont, rubblized the Old Reliable pipe above the 3730 elevation, by blasting with ANFO. Copper was leached from this rubble-column with dilute sulfuric acid; copper was recovered from the leach-liquors by precipitation on tin-cans in a plant below the mine. More than 12,077,000 pounds of cement copper were recovered between 1972 and 1981, when Ranchers’ lease expired. Holes Drilled by Ranchers at Old Reliable: RD-1, 2, 3 In the years 1972 - 1974, after retrieving its property from Oxymin, Phelps Dodge geologists mapped, sampled and tested the Phelps Dodge ground with geophysics; nine holes were drilled to test deep targets, with disappointing result.

Newmont resumed management of the Copper Creek Joint Venture in 1973 and drilled six angled holes from surface to test pipe targets. However, by the mid-1970s, Newmont’s corporate interest in porphyry copper exploration had waned. The Copper Creek project reverted to care and maintenance; drill targets were carefully selected, but drilling was reduced to the amount needed to underwrite property maintenance costs. Hole NE-6 discovered the lower Mammoth feeder-zone and hole NE-10 discovered the Mammoth breccia pipe. Redhawk has both logs and core for these holes. Between 1972 and 1977, the joint venture surveyed for patent claims on public domain that would be interior to a crack-line projected at 45 degrees from the bottom of the American Eagle deposit. This survey was filed with the BLM but the claims were not patented. Exxon ceased contributing to the joint venture in 1985 and withdrew in 1987.

Magma’s management had little interest in exploration at Copper Creek; they reduced the size of the property package, but held the core property. Magma met requirement for assessment expenditure by drilling three holes. Redhawk has logs and drill core for these holes. Holes drilled by Magma: Mammoth area CC-1 Childs Aldwinkle CC-2, 3 6.3 Work At Copper Creek By AMT (USA) Inc. Arizona Mineral Technology (Kushal Singh) finalized an agreement to acquire the Copper Creek property from Magma in 1994. Singh’s company was renamed AMT International, when it was incorporated in Canada. Between 1960 and 1995 when AMT became active at Copper Creek, more than 77 deep holes had been drilled there by major copper companies and large amounts of geological, geophysical, geochemical and other analytical data had been generated by them. These explorers were searching for a major porphyry copper deposit; the mineralized pipes were too small to interest these major companies.

AMT began field investigations at Copper Creek in the spring of 1995; the relatively shallow mineralized pipes were favored targets for AMT. Claims were staked to recover the ground dropped by Magma and to fill fractions. Agreements to acquire the Bell (Ryland) ranch and the Mercer ranch were signed. An agreement was signed with Phelps Dodge Exploration Corporation to obtain an interest in their patented claim block. AMT obtained a Prospecting Permit for State lands in the south half of Section 2, near the Bluebird mine. Access and drill roads were repaired and a new access road was constructed from Saloon Gulch to the top of White Bear hill. During May and June 1995, AMT drilled nine reverse circulation (RC) holes at Old Reliable to confirm that leaching by Ranchers had not significantly depleted the chalcocite ore body there. In addition, three RC holes were drilled at Old Reliable in June 1996 and 20 RC holes were drilled there in January through March, 1997. Six of these vertical RC holes were extended with the core drill to test the deposit below the rubble column. These holes plus pre-AMT holes and rock sample assays comprise the data-base from which the resource in the Old Reliable pipe has been estimated. Holes drilled by AMT at Old Reliable: OR-1R (core), 2R, 3R, 4R, 5R, 6R, 7R, 8R, 9R, 10R, 11R, 12R,

13R (core), 14R (core), 15R (core), 16R (core), 17R (core), 18R, 19R, 20R, 21R, 22R, 23R, 24R, 25R, 26R, 27R, 28R, 29R, 30R, 31R, 32R

AMT drilled 40,135 ft in 37 angled diamond core holes to test the Childs Aldwinkle pipe above 2800 elevation, in March through September, 1996. These westerly-directed holes were drilled from four surface sites, east of the Childs Aldwinkle glory-holes. In addition, 3580 ft were drilled in nine RC holes to test the top of the blind north finger of the pipe and three vertical core holes were drilled to obtain metallurgical test samples. These holes, plus pre-AMT holes, comprise the data-base from which the resource in the Childs Aldwinkle pipe deposit has been estimated. Holes drilled by AMT at Childs Aldwinkle:

CA28+3A, CA28+4, CA28+5, CA28+8, CA30+3, CA30+4, CA30+5, CA30+6, CA32+3, CA32+4, CA32+5, CA32+6, CA32+8, CA34+2, CA34+3, CA34+4, CA34+4A, CA34+7, CA35.5+1, CA35.5+2, CA35.5+3, CA35.5+4, CA36+7, CA36+8, CA36.5+2, C36.5+3, CA36.5+4, CA37.5+1, CA37.5+1A, CA37.5+2, CA37.5+3, CA38+6, CA38+7, CA40+6, CA40+7, CA40+8, CATECH, Met-2CA, 3CA, 4CA

CA-1R, 2R, 3R, 4R, 5R, 6R, 7R, 8R, 9R In the years 1976 through 1982, Newmont drilled two core holes beneath the south wall of Copper Creek canyon, almost directly beneath the prior location of the Arizona Molybdenum Corporation concentrator. Both of these holes cut mineralized intervals, of potential ore-grade. The near surface intercept in hole NE-10 was similar to other copper-mineralized breccia-pipe deposits in the area, but the deeper intercepts in hole NE-6 were pervasive

sericite-chalcopyrite replacement of granodiorite. Follow-up holes drilled by AMT, 37,578 ft in 24 angled and seven vertical holes, defined the Mammoth breccia, a pipe-form, quartz-chalcopyrite veinlet stockwork deposit with N25W elongation; potentially economic parts of the pipe, bottom above the 2800 elevation. These 31 core holes drilled by AMT, plus Newmont’s hole NE-10, comprise the data-base from which the Mammoth pipe resource was estimated. Holes drilled by AMT to test the Mammoth pipe: CK32+0, 33+1Y, 33+3Y, 34.5-50, 35+3Y, 35.5-50, 36+0, 37+100, 37+50 37.2+50 CK-B, C, D, E VIX24-2, 28-1, 28-2, 30-1, 32+1, 32-1, 32-2, 32-3, 34+1, 34-1, 34-2, 36-2 VIX-A, VIXTECH, UM-1, MET1-CK, MET5-CK During November, 1996, hole VIX 28-2 extended through the relatively shallow Mammoth pipe and into sericite-chalcopyrite rock, similar to the deep mineral intercept in Newmont hole NE-6. The similarity between these mineral intercepts, about 700 ft apart, stimulated drilling of holes to test the continuity of the intervening “Lower Mammoth” (LM) mineralized zone. The Lower Mammoth deposit is a steep, N25W- trending, altered and mineralized sheared zone that clearly has fed mineralizing fluids upward, into the Mammoth pipe. In addition to Newmont’s hole NE-6, the Lower Mammoth zone has been tested by an additional 13 holes drilled by AMT; it is, however, incompletely drilled at this juncture. The limited current information indicates potentially economic parts of the Lower Mammoth feeder zone tops near 2400 elevation; it appears to have reasonable continuity for at least 700 ft along strike, to be open downward and to the southeast. Both tenor and thickness appear to increase toward the south, where thickness of the zone probably exceeds 100 ft. Holes drilled by AMT to test the Lower Mammoth zone: VIX24-2, 28-2 LM-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 In addition to holes drilled to test the four major ore bodies described previously, AMT drilled a number of core and RC holes to test other mineral occurrences at Copper Creek. Some of these holes returned interesting (but generally sub-economic) assays that warrant follow-up. Hole logs, split drill core and RC cuttings trays are in possession of Redhawk.

This grid was used to guide collection of geochemical samples, ground magnetic and radiometric surveys. The exploration survey data is in files controlled by Redhawk and warrants study. AMT exhausted its financial resources in 2001 and ceased all exploration. Norshield Investments, AMT’s primary creditor, advanced funds necessary to maintain the key properties at Copper Creek, but agreements to secure the “Ryland” ranch, the Mercer Ranch, the Phelps Dodge claims and Downey’s Moose claims were dropped. Redhawk Resources reviewed the project data in 2004. Redhawk acquired AMT’s remaining property at Copper Creek, as well as the drill core, rock samples and the accumulated project data, in 2005. 6.4 Redhawk Resources Redhawk Resources reviewed the project data in 2004. Redhawk acquired AMT’s property at Copper Creek, as well as the drill core, rock samples and the accumulated project data, in 2005. Redhawk spent considerable time following the acquisition organizing and consolidating the available data and drill core. The core is now housed in a core storage facility at Redhawk's project office in San Manuel, Arizona. During the review of the drill core, it was discovered that some of the last holes drilled by AMT were not split or assayed. Redhawk has logged, split and assayed this core and the results were added to the data base. Redhawk commissioned Independent Mining Consultants, Inc. (IMC) to develop a resource estimate of four of the mineralized targets (Mammoth Breccia, Childs-Aldwinkle Breccia, Old Reliable Breccia and the Lower Mammoth – Keel deposit) on the Copper Creek ground. IMC’s work started in March 2006 and a resource was announced in September 2006. The NI 43-101 Technical Document for this resource is titled “Copper Creek Property Mineral Resource, Pinal County, Arizona, USA, Technical Document”, dated October 31, 2006 and filed on SEDAR on November 8, 2006.

Redhawk commenced a drilling program in 2006 in the Mammoth Breccia deposit and in the breccia pipes located on the claims acquired from Phelps Dodge Corporation. In 2007, Redhawk commissioned IMC to develop a resource estimate for the American Eagle deposit to report the resource and to provide guidance to Redhawk’s drilling in the American Eagle. The resources are documented in the IMC’s NI 43-101 Technical Report titled “American Eagle Deposit Mineral Resource, Copper Creek Property, Pinal Country, Arizona, USA, Technical Report” dated November 26, 2007 and filed on SEDAR on November 29, 2007. In late 2007 and early 2008 Redhawk completed twelve rotary hammer pre-collar holes totaling 18,024 feet in the American Eagle area. One pre-collar drill hole was deepened 246 feet with core drilling and one core drill hole was completed from surface to a depth of 3,806 feet in the American Eagle area. Redhawk also drilled three core drill holes from surface totaling 10,975 feet. Redhawk drilled twelve core holes totaling 3,800.4 feet from surface on the Copper Prince Breccias and three core holes from surface on the Globe Breccias totaling 1,220 feet in early 2008. IMC updated the property mineral resources in October 2008. This estimate included resources in the Globe and Copper Prince breccias for the first time. The resources are documented in the IMC’s NI 43-101 Technical Report titled “Copper Creek 2008 Mineral Resource, Pinal Country, Arizona, USA, Technical Report” dated October 28, 2008 and filed on SEDAR on October 29, 2008. Redhawk commissioned K D Engineering of Tucson to provide a scoping level economic study for the project in late 2009, based on the 2008 resource estimate. The NI 43-101 Technical Document for this resource is titled “Copper Creek Project 2,500 - 10,000 TPD Scoping Study”, dated March 12, 2010 and filed on SEDAR on May 12, 2010. Redhawk conducted a district exploration program in 2010 and early 2011. This program targeted previously six undrilled areas outside the existing breccia and porphyry resources which Redhawk judged prospective for potentially higher grade mineralization in mafic volcanic and diabase host rocks. Encouraging copper intercepts in hole REX-10-047 west of the Keel and American Eagle areas suggested the possibility of extending these porphyry resources westward. Consequently, two additional angled holes were drilled from the same site. Drilling for the expanded eight-hole program totaled 32,871 feet. A key result of the district exploration program was that it showed for the first time the scale of the Copper Creek sulphide system. These holes expanded the footprint of known porphyry-style alteration and sulphide mineralization from approximately 5,500 to 13,000 feet in the northwest-southeast direction. Starting in February 2011, Redhawk embarked on a 100,000-foot (30,000 meter) program of in-fill and step-out drilling intended to upgrade a significant portion of the American Eagle

and Keel porphyry resources from the 'Inferred' category to the 'Measured and Indicated' category. In addition, the program was designed increase the size and confidence of the potential resource area connecting the Keel and American Eagle porphyry resources. Both objectives were successfully achieved. The program included both vertical and angled core holes, and completed core drilling from a number of rotary pre-collars drilled in 2007 and 2008. As of the end of April 2012, 23 holes totaling 87,659 feet had been completed. At Redhawk's request, IMC updated property-wide breccia and porphyry resources in April-May 2012, based on drilling through end-March, 2012. This NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate was announced in Redhawk's news release dated May 10, 2012, and forms the basis of the current resource report. For the first time, this resource estimate considered potential open-pit extraction of a much larger scale resource.

7.0 GEOLOGIC SETTING AND MINERALIZATION The Copper Creek Property lies in the porphyry copper metallogenic province of the southwestern United States of America. 7.1 Regional Geology The regional basement consists of a variety of Proterozoic rocks that lie on the southern flank of the Achaean craton of North America (Dickinson, 1989). During the Mesozoic Era, back arc and foreland basin volcanic and sedimentary formations covered much of southern Arizona. This Mesozoic event was succeeded by a Laramide age (Late Cretaceous – Early Tertiary; 80-50 Ma.) volcanic-plutonic arc event accompanied by a major ENE-WSW compressional tectonic regime. This tectonism resulted in northwest-trending, basement sourced uplifted blocks and a widespread ENE-trending brittle structural fabric. The majority of porphyry copper deposits in the southwestern United States (including Copper Creek) date to this period of Laramide tectonism. Thick Galiuro Volcanics of mid-Tertiary age then covered the area and subsequent erosion has locally re-exposed the underlying copper-bearing bedrock. Figure 7-1 is a regional geologic map showing the geologic units by age. The Copper Creek Property lies at the intersection of an ENE-trending belt of porphyry copper deposits, which include Lakeshore, Owl Head, San Manuel/Kalamazoo, Safford and Morenci, and a NNW-trending belt that includes Superior (Resolution), Christmas and Miami-Inspiration (Marsh, 2001). Many of these deposits are deeply eroded, but the Copper Creek porphyry system appears to be nearly upright and largely intact. Most recent exploration and development have taken place on high level porphyry copper breccia pipes. Below these breccias, drilling has indicated an extensive porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralized system, which remains only partially tested. 7.2 Copper Creek Geology The Copper Creek district is centered on the Copper Creek granodiorite, the central of three Laramide granodiorite intrusions forming a northwest-oriented cluster on the west side of the Galiuro Mountains. The Copper Creek granodiorite was emplaced approximately 62 million years ago into Precambrian and Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, Late Precambrian diabase, and Cretaceous Glory Hole volcanics. The Copper Creek stock and adjacent Glory Hole volcanics have been intruded by a sequence of Laramide granodiorite, monzogranite, and quartz diorite porphyry plugs and dykes. The district is marked by over 400 hydrothermal breccia bodies, ranging from a few feet to several hundred feet across, which (like the porphyry bodies) are concentrated in two northwest-trending belts. Post-mineral Galiuro Volcanics cover all these rocks on the east and northeast. To the southwest, the district is bounded by a northwest-trending range-front fault which down drops Tertiary Gila Conglomerate against the Laramide and older rocks. Figure 7-2 is a geologic map showing the mapped lithologies in the Copper Creek area.

7.3 Mineralization The Copper Creek mineralization consists of chalcopyrite, bornite, and chalcocite. Copper oxide minerals locally replace sulphides in the near surface supergene weathering environment. A chalcocite enriched, supergene zone forms the principal part of the Old Reliable deposit above the water table. Molybdenite occurs in sufficient amounts in the Childs-Aldwinkle breccia, the Old Reliable breccia, the Keel, and the American Eagle to be of economic interest. Gold and silver occur but have not been systematically assayed by previous owners. Redhawk has re-assayed individual intervals to better understand the precious metal grade distribution where previous owners had assayed long composite runs. Near-surface mineralization at Copper Creek occurs predominately in the breccia bodies. Sulfides are concentrated within the breccia matrix, and are dominated by chalcopyrite, bornite, and pyrite, with minor chalcocite in the upper parts of some pipes. High-grade mineralization in the breccias typically occurs as prominent masses and clots of copper minerals filling open spaces, or as sheeted veins along the edges of the pipes. Relative levels of copper, molybdenum, gold and silver vary considerably from breccia to breccia. Molybdenite Re-Os ages from the breccias yield mineralization ages between 62 and 57 million years. Recent drilling indicates that the deeper American Eagle and Keel porphyry-style resources are connected and form a single copper-mineralized body at least 5000 feet long northwest-southeast, which is open in most directions. This mineralized body is controlled by a broad dome-shaped zone of common, subhorizontal to steep EDM quartz-sulfide veins. These veins display thin centerlines of quartz and sulfides, surrounded by much thicker halos of biotite, sericite, and abundant copper sulphides. The EDM vein zone is hosted mostly in Copper Creek granodiorite but appears centered on a cluster of syn-mineral granodiorite porphyry bodies. In parts of the American Eagle zone, many EDM veins are re-opened as semi-massive chalcopyrite-bearing veins that enhance the copper grade. Superimposed on the EDM vein zone are breccias and zones of intense quartz-sericite alteration, both of which tend to carry high-grade copper which further upgrades the same volume of rock. A near-vertical set of EDM veins extends above the well mineralized dome-shaped EDM vein zone to the present surface, where outcropping veins are widespread and typically trend east-northeast. Sulfides in the American Eagle and Keel zones are zoned with depth, with pyrite-dominant mineralization near the surface transitioning into chalcopyrite-dominant rock in the better mineralized zones, with increasing bornite at depth. Small lead and zinc prospects, primarily vein occurrences, occur toward the edges of the breccia-porphyry system.

8.0 DEPOSIT TYPES The Copper Creek area contains multiple styles of Laramide copper-molybdenum-silver+/-gold deposits characterized by relatively high primary copper grades. Early development of the district dated from 1863, and focused on the exposed copper-rich (>>1% Cu) breccia bodies and peripheral silver-lead-zinc veins. In the 1960s and 1970s deeper drilling discovered porphyry-style sheeted and stockwork vein mineralization (~0.8% Cu) at depths between 1,200 to +4,000 feet in the American Eagle and Keel areas, beneath a small portion of the near-surface breccia cluster. The breccias are clast- to matrix-supported and consist of angular to subrounded, pebble- to boulder-sized, commonly quartz-sericite altered fragments formed from the host wall rock. Matrices of most breccias are partially to completely filled with varying combinations of quartz, sulfide minerals, tourmaline, specularite, and minor rock flour. Breccias are known to persist over 3000 feet vertically. They terminate abruptly upward into lower grade material; the Mammoth pipe, the largest breccia in the current resource, is “blind” a mere 105 feet below the surface. Where drilling density is sufficient, the bottoms of the breccia pipes neck downwards into bodies of granodiorite porphyry. Over 90 percent of the mapped breccia bodies have not been drilled. Evidence suggests that the breccia pipes were formed during implosive wall-rock collapse initiated by widespread porphyry magma withdrawal. As magma withdrew from the apex of a given intrusive body, gravity induced collapse initiated brecciation of the wall rock. The brecciation propagated to form the breccia bodies that are elongate in the vertical direction. The American Eagle and Keel porphyry zones were previously classified as “hybrid porphyry” or “sheeted vein type” deposits due to their unusual vein styles. Recent work by Redhawk geologists has led to the recognition that the Copper Creek porphyry ores are typical of the “early-halo type” of porphyry system described by Proffett (2009). In these deposits the dominant style of copper-bearing veins are early dark micaceous (EDM) veins or early potassic halos lining incipient fractures, rather than the A-type sugary quartz stockwork veins common in many porphyry systems. Well known early-halo type porphyry deposits include Butte, Montana, and Chuquicamata and Los Pelambres, Chile.

9.0 EXPLORATION Exploration activities on the Copper Creek Property have spanned over 140 years by many different companies as noted in Section 6, History. The exploration work conducted since 1950 focused on the two different mineralization types: the breccia pipes or the deep porphyry deposits. The focus depended on the mining/exploration company doing the work with the larger, copper producing companies focusing on the large porphyry targets and the smaller companies (looking to develop production quickly) focusing on the breccia targets. AMT mapped the surface expressions of breccia occurrences on the property and Redhawk is expanding on this work. Portions of an internal Redhawk memo are included below to provide an initial measure of the exploration potential on the property. “Between the coordinates of 630,000 to 646,000 north and 394,000 to 410,000 east, a total of 358 breccia occurrences were counted, not including the Old Reliable, Childs-Aldwinkle or Mammoth. As best can be determined, 34 of the individual breccias have been drill tested on the Redhawk property, many with multiple holes. This figure includes only holes which appear to penetrate a specific breccia, and does not take into account roughly 30 holes scattered throughout the property which were not collared in (or directed towards) a breccia, but may well have intercepted the irregular subsurface continuation of one of the bodies. From this it follows that there are at least 324 of the mapped breccia occurrences on Redhawk property that have not been tested by drilling. With the acquisition of the PD claims and additional surface exploration, the number of mapped breccias now exceeds 400.” If the heavily drilled area is excluded, then within the Redhawk property south of the PD claim block, there are 235 breccia bodies that have been tested by only ten drill holes. Many of these breccias have had surface samples collected and analyzed with about 590 samples taken in the breccias. The compilation of this data by Redhawk reveals: “The western breccia belt was found to have 15 samples anomalous in copper (>200 PPM) from 14 breccias, of which one has been drill tested. One anomalous untested molybdenum (>40 PPM) sample was noted from breccia sampling in the western belt. In the southern area are 37 breccia samples anomalous in copper from roughly 26 breccia bodies, with one of these having a drill test. Ten breccia samples in this area are anomalous in molybdenum from 8 bodies, again with one having a drill test. Eight of the breccia bodies from the southern area have coincident anomalous copper and molybdenum values, and one of these has been drill tested. In the northeast are there are only about 14 breccia samples, with two of these anomalous in copper and one anomalous in molybdenum, with no drilling to test the anomalous samples.” Work by Redhawk since 2009 has resulted in determining that the Copper Creek mineralization system is an “early halo” style characterized by a large percentage of “early dark micaceous” (EDM) and later “D” type veining hosting the vast majority of copper and molybdenum values in the “porphyry” mineralization. The abundant breccia bodies appear to be a late phase of mineralization. The EDM and D style veins are identifiable in road cuts,

drainages, and sometimes in outcrops. The EDM and D style veins are being mapped on the surface and show a strong correlation with the “footprint” of the porphyry mineralization area. Zones of more intense EDM and D veining on the surface are most commonly ENE trending and have very steep to vertical dips and are target areas for developing open pit mineable grades above the more massive zones of porphyry mineralization at deeper levels. The deeper porphyry mineralization is dominated by the EDM and D veining but dips of the veining is strongly sub-horizontal to moderate angles rather than the steep to vertical dips at shallower levels. Detailed drill hole logging has resulted in determining a series of porphyritic intrusions that intrude the main granodiorite body that hosts the vast majority of the porphyry style mineralization. Crosscutting relationships between the porphyritic intrusions and various veining episodes are being used to develop a full three dimension geologic model in the resource areas. During 2010 and 2011 six widely spaced drill holes were drilled on exploration targets within the district. The holes were designed to test various target concepts and most of the test holes were 1 to 2 kilometers from the edge of the 2008 deep porphyry resource of the Keel and American Eagle. Five of the six holes encountered significant grades of copper and molybdenum and alteration and veining styles consistent with that found in the resource area. The drilling and the presence of the breccia bodies over a large area indicate a large hydrothermal system that is largely under explored.

10.0 DRILLING Exploration drilling has been conducted by most of the previous owners of the Copper Creek property, and Redhawk commenced drilling during the fourth quarter 2006. A summary of the number of holes and footage by company is summarized in Table 10-1 which totals 545 holes for 632,660 feet. Table 10-2 summarizes the drilling by drill type and this total will exceed the 545 number of holes because some holes were drilled using more than one drilling method. Since the October 2008 mineral resource estimate and up to the cutoff date for the current mineral resource update, Redhawk has drilled an additional 30 holes of approximately 115,334 feet. There are six mineralized areas which are of interest at Copper Cheek and are the combinations of the breccia zones (Globe, Copper Prince, Old Reliable, Childs-Aldwinkle, and the Mammoth) with the deeper porphyry mineralization (Keel, which is below the Mammoth breccia and the American Eagle, to the southeast of the Keel). Figure 10-1 shows the drill holes and the limits of the mineralized areas. Table 10-3 summarizes the number of holes, footage and number intervals plus intervals with assays for copper, moly, and silver within each of the mineralized area limits shown on the map. The total number of holes on this table exceeds the 545 total because some holes cross from one area to another.

11.0 SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSIS AND SECURITY 11.1 Prior to Redhawk Redhawk does not have any record of the methods used for core logging and sampling from drilling that pre-dates AMT’s involvement with the property (AMT optioned the property in 1995). The earlier drilling was done by several major mining and resource industry companies and it is assumed that they used industry standard practices at the time. Review of the geologic logs, down hole survey records and assay certificates that Redhawk has on file confirms that data was collected and handled with good practices. As the various companies participated in the exploration of Copper Creek, assay checks were often done on previous assay work as part of the new company’s due diligence. This check assay work was reviewed by IMC and is presented in Section 14 of the IMC report “Copper Creek 2008 Mineral Resource, Pinal County, Arizona, USA, Technical Report” dated October 28, 2008 and posted on SEDAR. AMT started work at Copper Creek in 1995. There are no written records of its sampling methods and data handling, but verbal discussions by Joe Sandberg of Redhawk with Claus Wiese, a former employee of AMT, confirmed that the procedures followed industry standards. In summary, the drill core or cuttings were logged for geologic and geotechnical information, core was split by either sawing or mechanical splitting, and half core was sent for assay. The particulars of the sample split for the RC drilling is not known. Redhawk has spent much time and effort organizing and review the data from the previous work since it took over the property in 2005. A summary of its activities and chain of custody of the information is included in Section 13 of the IMC report mentioned above. Redhawk has consolidated the drill core, cuttings and assay pulps into one storage facility under its control. Redhawk has re-logged a majority of the core to both confirm the previous logging and to evaluate new theories. Redhawk found the core from several of the holes drilled by AMT late in its property ownership had not been split or assayed. Redhawk has sampled and assayed these holes and updated the drill hole data base. 11.2 Redhawk Sample Handling Procedures All drill core (or RC samples) is either picked up on the drill site by Redhawk personnel and brought directly to Redhawk’s secure facility in San Manuel, AZ, or is delivered directly to Redhawk’s facilities by the drilling crew. Redhawk’s geologist log the core and mark the core for sampling. Redhawk personnel saw or split the core as per the geologist’s marked intervals and split lines. One half of the split core is placed in marked bags and delivered by Redhawk personnel directly to Jacobs Assay in Tucson, AZ for sample prep. The second half of the core is stored in the Redhawk core storage facilities for reference. IMC has

June 2012

observed the logging and splitting practices during its 2008 visits and found them to meet industry standards. Redhawk has confirmed that the practices have not changed. 11.3 Current Sample Preparation Procedures The split core is delivered to Jacobs Assay for preparation of a pulp sample for assaying. The procedure is documented below from a verbal conversation with Michael Jacobs.

• On delivery, the samples are checked against the list provide by Redhawk, then logged into the lab records in the same order as on the Redhawk list.

• The entire sample is processed through a jaw crusher, three times to reduce the size to a nominal minus ½ inch.

• The jaw crusher is brushed off and blown clean with compressed air between each sample.

• The sample is mixed, pan to pan, six times; then poured through a Jones splitter. One quarter of the sample is retained for further processing and the remaining three quarters is placed back in the bag as the reject sample. These are retained for future use. The Jones splitter is cleaned with compressed air between each sample.

• The one quarter split of the sample goes through a second jaw crusher and roller (one pass), mixed, and further crushed if needed to reach minus 10 mesh size.

• The sample passes through a Jones splitter to get a 250 gram split, which is pulverized to minus 150 mesh. The Jones splitter is cleaned and the pulverizer is cleaned with silica sand after each sample.

• The pulverized 250 gram sample is mixed on rolling cloth 25 times from each corner, then placed into the pulp sample bag for shipment to the assay laboratory.

• The rejected minus 10 mesh material that was not pulverized is placed in a separate bag that is placed in the bag of the reject material from the initial split.

The prepared pulps are shipped directly by public carrier from Jacobs to ALS Chemex Laboratory in Reno, Nevada for assay. Reject samples designated for metallurgical work by Redhawk personnel are sorted by Jacobs and delivered to Metcon in Tucson, AZ. Jacobs prepares a second pulp from the sample reject material for every tenth sample and those pulps are given to Redhawk personnel or delivered back to the Redhawk office. Once several jobs of reject check pulps are collected, these are boxed and shipped to ALS in Reno for assay. In 2007, Jacobs prepared five standards (one to three 5 gallon buckets each) of various copper assay levels from Copper Creek mineralized material. Either 5 or 10 samples from each standard created were sent to three separate laboratories for copper, molybdenum and silver assaying. The results from each laboratory were compared and an average value for the standard created for copper, molybdenum and silver. One of the five standards is selected at random and inserted in with the pulps sent to ALS for assaying. The standards are inserted at the rate of about 1 in 10. The standards vary from 0.014% to 5.678% copper and from 0.00032% to 0.0092% molybdenum.

11.4 Assay Procedure Redhawk samples were analyzed by ALS Chemex in Reno. The samples are assayed for copper and molybdenum using standard four acid digestion assay techniques. Significantly mineralized intervals were then re-assayed for gold using 30 gram charge fire assay and AAS and multi-element ICP (48 elements) to get silver values, copper and molybdenum check values, and other elements for geochemical and metallurgical information. Copper values from the ICP exceeding 10,000 ppm were re-assayed using an additional "ore grade" assay method. Approximately one in 12 to 14 original pulps is selected for check assay by Redhawk. The list of pulps for check assay is sent to ALS, which retrieves the pulp samples and these samples are transferred to the Inspectorate Lab in Reno. The check samples are assayed for copper, molybdenum and silver with the results provided to Redhawk.

12.0 DATA VERIFICATION 12.1 Pre-2010 Drilling Check assay and other relevant results for the earlier drilling conducted by Redhawk and preceding companies at Copper Creek are discussed in Section 14 of the NI43-101 Technical Report entitled “Copper Creek 2008 Mineral Resource” dated October 28, 2008 and posted on SEDAR. The review of the available assay data base used for the 2008 Mineral Resource was divided into two parts: review of the assay data itself in the form of check assays run by previous owners and spot check the Redhawk data base as it was provided to IMC against original data in the form of assay certificates, geologic logs and survey notes. IMC found the data to be acceptable for the development of a resource estimate and notes some areas that required additional attention as the project continues. 12.2 2010 – 2012 Redhawk Drilling - Summary This review summarizes the results of the QAQC and check assaying program on the Redhawk drilling conducted from 2010 through 2012. The data base assays for the 2010-12 Redhawk drilling were run by ALS on pulps prepared by Jacobs Assay. The QAQC data supplied to IMC consist of assays run by ALS on standards, check assays run by Inspectorate on Jacobs pulps, assays run by ALS on a second Jacobs pulp from the sample coarse reject and assays run by METCON on pulps prepared by METCON. Based on its analysis of these data IMC's conclusions are:

1. ALS's assaying procedures for copper, molybdenum and silver are acceptable.

2. The only assays that act as a complete check on Jacob's sample preparation procedures are those run by METCON on METCON pulps, and the fact that these assays are biased up to 17% low relative to the ALS data base assays for copper indicates a possible sample preparation problem at METCON or at Jacobs. Jacobs did prepare a second pulp from the coarse reject material for selected samples and this pulp was assayed by ALS and falls within acceptable ranges. IMC believes that the problem most likely occurred at METCON, but the possibility that it occurred at Jacobs cannot be discounted at this time. As a result, IMC believes that the 2010-12 Redhawk assays are conditionally acceptable until Jacobs' sample preparation procedures are validated. This validation needs to be done prior to any future resource updates.

3. To do this it is recommended to ship every 20th reject sample from the post-2008 drilling

(approximately 600 samples) to a check laboratory, have this laboratory prepare pulps from the rejects and assay them with the same procedures as used by ALS. . If the assays compare acceptably with the data base assays, the Jacobs sample preparation procedures will be validated. (IMC recommended in section 14.4 of the October 2008 Technical Report that future check assays be run on rejects rather than pulps to obtain a check on both analytical and sample preparation procedures.)

4. Consideration should be given to adding a higher-grade molybdenum standard and a silver

standard.

5. Blank samples should be inserted in the sample stream as part of the QAQC program.

12.3 Assays on Standards The results of the ALS Chemex assays on five copper - molybdenum standards are summarized in Tables 12-1 and 12-2. A standard was inserted approximately once every 13 samples (1,625 standards in 12,725 total assays). The five standards were prepared from Copper Creek drill samples by Jacobs and expected grades were determined by assaying the standards at three assay laboratories and taking the mean of all the assays. There are no silver standards.

The mean copper grade of the standard assays is 2-4% lower than the expected grade for standards 2, 3 and 4 and the mean molybdenum grade is 5 to 7% lower than the expected grade for standards 2 and 3. The grades of the other standards are too low to allow a meaningful mean/expected grade comparison to be made. (Median values are shown in the Tables because the scatter of the standard assays makes it difficult to determine whether the outlier points are a result of assay variability, poor homogenization of the standard, sample mislabeling or data entry errors. Under these circumstances the median might be

considered a more meaningful estimate of the mean of the standard assays.) The results of the standard assays are summarized in Figures 12-1 through 12-10. There is no indication of any significant variations in grade with time for any of the standards. IMC considers these results acceptable. However, QAQC programs commonly include assays run on blanks and it would therefore be desirable to insert blanks into the sample stream. (Standard 5 could be replaced by blanks). Adding a higher-grade molybdenum standard in the +/- 0.05% range and a silver standard in the +/- 1 g/t range should also be considered.

12.3 Check Assay Comparisons The results of the check assay comparisons for copper are summarized in Table 12-3. Copper represents the bulk of the economic value of the Copper Creek resource, so the copper comparisons are the most important.

According to these results a Jacobs pulp was sent to Inspectorate for check assay approximately once every 23 samples (562 assays in 12,725 total assays) and a second pulp prepared from the coarse reject by Jacobs was re-assayed by ALS approximately once every 43 samples (295 assays in 12,725 total assays). The METCON assays were run on pulps prepared separately from Jacobs rejects by METCON. IMC generally considers check assay results to be acceptable when the mean grade of the check assays is within 5% of the mean grade of the data base assays and/or when the gradient of a QQ-plot, which compares the grade distributions of the two data sets rather than the mean grades, falls within 5% of a 1:1 line. This criterion is met for the ALS versus Inspectorate copper comparison. However, because both the ALS data base and the Inspectorate check assays were run on Jacobs pulps the results act to verify only ALS's analytical procedures. The criterion is also met for the ALS versus ALS duplicate assay copper comparison. The ALS duplicate assays were run on second pulp prepared by Jacobs and therefore acts as a check only on analytical procedures. If there were any problems with Jacobs' sample preparation procedures the duplicate comparisons would not identify them. The METCON assays are the only assays that were run on pulps prepared by a lab other than Jacobs and are therefore the only ones that act as an independent check on Jacobs' sample preparation procedures. The 5% criterion is met in the METCON (ICP) case but not in the two METCON AA cases, which show METCON biased 10-17% low relative to ALS. These results suggest a sample preparation or assaying problem at METCON, but the possibility that the Jacobs sample preparation procedures are biasing the ALS copper assays high cannot be dismissed at this time. The results of the check assay comparisons for molybdenum and silver are summarized in Tables 12-4 and 12-5. These comparisons are less important because molybdenum and silver are byproduct minerals that contribute only a small proportion to the economic value of the Copper Creek resource.

13.0 METALLURGICAL TESTING The following is a discussion of the metallurgical testing of the proposed project provided by K D Engineering, Co, Inc. which has been working on the Copper Creek Project and authored a previous PEA Study titled: “Redhawk Copper, Inc. – Copper Creek Project – 2,500 – 10.000 tpd Scoping Study, dated 12 March 2010 and posted on SEDAR. 13.1 Bulk Copper Molybdenum Flotation Test Program

The previous property owners of the Copper Creek property had metallurgical tests conducted at Mountain States R&D International, Inc. (MSRDI). Much of the testwork evaluated heavy media separation or heavy media separation followed by flotation as a processing technique. A conventional bulk flotation process followed by a differential flotation circuit to separate the copper and molybdenum is currently planned. Results from conventional flotation tests, described in the “Report of Metallurgical Testing on Copper Sulfide Resources of the Copper Creek Property” by MSRDI dated 3 January 1997 are summarized below. Additional work on other mineralized zones, conducted in 2008 is described in the “Copper Creek Project Preliminary Flotation Study” by METCON Research (METCON) dated November 2008. Results from this work are also summarized below.

In the first test series conducted by MSRDI, rougher flotation tests were conducted on four different composite samples from the Copper Creek Property. Three of the composites were from the Childs-Aldwinkle area and the fourth was from the Creek Breccia. These selected composite samples represented three copper grades: low (about 0.5 percent copper); average (1.5 to 2.5 percent copper); and high (plus 3 percent copper) for each mineralization type. The tests were planned to evaluate the effect of particle size (grind) on the recovery of copper and molybdenum.

Test conditions for the series are noted below: ▪ Lime =3.5 lb/t pH= 10.8 - 11.2 ▪ S-5741 = 0.01 lb/t ▪ Nalco 9743 = 0.017 lb/t ▪ Z-11 = 0.002 lb/t ▪ Fuel Oil = 0.023 lb/t

Results from the test series are summarized in Table 13-1

Table 13-1 Effect of Grind on Copper and Molybdenum Recovery in MSRDI Tests

As shown in Table 13-1, the copper recovery and rougher concentrate grades realized were both excellent. Generally, the effect of finer grind was to increase copper recovery. The effect of grind on molybdenum recovery is not as clear. The target grind P80 equal to 140 microns was selected for the remainder of the test program.

The second series of tests conducted by MSRDI, summarized in Table 13-2, was run to evaluate cleaning the rougher concentrate produced. The rougher concentrate was not reground, and excellent cleaner concentrate grades, averaging over 40 percent copper, were achieved.

The effect of flotation retention time was also evaluated by MSRDI. The recovery - time profile for both copper and molybdenum from two composites are shown in Figure 13-1. Results indicate rapid flotation kinetics with over 95 percent of the copper recovered in three minutes with the flotation reagents used.

Figure 13-1 MSRDI Rougher Flotation Kinetics After the batch test described above, MSRDI conducted locked cycle tests on the average grade composites. Results are summarized in Table 13-3. Concentrate grades between 32 and 62 percent copper were obtained with copper recoveries all above 95 percent. Molybdenum recoveries were directly proportional to the molybdenum head grade with the high-grade sample giving 94 percent recovery and the low-grade sample giving 28 percent recovery. As can be seen, flotation response of all the various mineralization types, as well as grades, is excellent averaging over 97 percent for copper and 72 percent for molybdenum.

METCON results indicate that recovery is a function of oxidation and head grade. METCON conducted tests with sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) in an attempt to improve results from the oxidized composites. These tests did not result in significant recovery improvement. Redhawk personnel indicate the amount of oxide material in the deposit is low. 13.2 Copper Molybdenum Separation Test Program

Limited testing was conducted by MSRDI to demonstrate the copper molybdenum separation process. The tests using NaHS, the conventional reagent for copper-molybdenum separation circuits, were not successful and additional testing to optimize reagents used in the bulk copper molybdenum flotation step and the subsequent copper molybdenum separation is highly recommended. It should be noted that it is difficult to undertake the proposed copper-molybdenum separation in the initial laboratory testing phase of the mining project due to lack of appropriate quality and quantity of bulk copper-molybdenum concentrates. MSRDI carried out the proposed copper-molybdenum separation testing on a composite sample made up of higher grade molybdenum samples from the Childs-Aldwinkle deposit (Samples 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3). These samples contained a mixture of chalcopyrite, bornite, and chalcocite, and have an average copper grade of 1.28 percent and an average molybdenum grade of 0.100 percent. In this testing program ten kilograms of the composite sample were ground to the desired mesh (P80 = 150) and subjected to flotation using the standard flotation conditions and reagents to obtain the final copper-molybdenum concentrates for the subsequent copper-molybdenum separation tests (Test No. BM-47). The bulk concentrate from the preceding test was split into eight equal portions of about 50 grams each, and a sample for head assay. The eight samples were subjected to selective flotation techniques utilizing various copper or molybdenum depressants to evaluate the alternatives. The results of this testing program are summarized in the following Table 13-6.

The results of the scoping tests indicated that selective flotation of molybdenum from the bulk copper-moly concentrates produced using conventional copper depressants such as NaSH, ferro-cyanide, and hypochlorite was not effective. This lack of effectiveness may be attributed to two reasons:

▪ The copper mineralization consists predominantly of bornite and chalcocite, both of which are not responsive to depression using NaSH and ferro-cyanide; or

▪ The collectors S-5741 and Nalco 9743 form very strong chemical bonds with the copper minerals that are difficult to sulfidize or oxidize.

A single test evaluating the use of a milder xanthate collector to obtain a bulk copper-moly concentrate followed by selective flotation of molybdenum using NaSH reagent (Test BM-49) was run. Results of this test indicate that effective selective flotation of molybdenum from the bulk concentrate was achieved. The molybdenum grade of the rougher concentrate was 29.80 percent. This favorable result indicates that it should be possible to obtain acceptable molybdenum recovery at marketable grades, but more testwork on representative samples is needed to confirm and optimize the process.

It should be noted that molybdenite occurrences in the Copper Creek deposits contain appreciable amounts of rhenium (up to 1100 ppm). Since the rhenium is contained in MoS2, crystals, it will be concentrated with Mo and can be recovered during further treatment of the MoS2 concentrates to produce rhenium.

METCON also attempted a copper-molybdenum separation using NaHS. The test was run on concentrate from the Keel & American Eagle composite sample. Unfortunately the test head grade was very low, so resulting test product analysis is difficult. It is not possible to improve the confidence in the moly separation process at this time. Results from the test are summarized in Table 13-7.

13.3 Bond Grinding Work Index

Two composite samples of Copper Creek mineralization (one a comparatively soft and the other a comparatively hard) were prepared and subjected to standard Bond Grind Work Index tests at 100 mesh by MSRDI. The results of these tests revealed that the harder composite has a Work Index of 13.2 kWh/ton while the softer composite has a Work Index of 11.5 kWh/ton. These work index values are typical and were used to estimate the power required for grinding.

13.4 Mineralogical Studies

The mineralogical studies indicated that the mineral grains were very coarse and that the mineralized material may be amenable to processing by heavy-media-separation techniques. For this reason, much of the work conducted was aimed at evaluating the response of the mineralization to heavy-media-separation technique. The mineralogical studies, and subsequent chemical analysis indicated the presence of tennantite, an arsenic-bearing mineral in some of the copper concentrates produced.

The general mineralogy distribution, as interpreted by AMT indicates the following: ▪ Chalcocite occurs on the upper portions and down the margins of the breccia.

Significant chalcocite may exist to the 3,750 ft elevation. Chalcocite is replacing chalcopyrite and bonrite. It is possible some of the bornite in this upper zone may be supergene in origin.

▪ Chalcopyrite forms the main hypogene zone. It occurs by itself and mixed with

bornite or pyrite. It occurs mainly at the outer portions of the pipe and at depth.

▪ Bornite appears to occur in the core of the breccia body, usually with chalcopyrite. It does not seem to occur below 3,450 ft elevation.

▪ Below the 3,450 ft elevation, tennantite occurs, usually replacing chalcopyrite and

bornite. Above 3,530 ft elevation arsenic is less then 10 ppm and does not exceed 1,000 ppm (0.10 percent) until below 3,460 ft elevation.

MSRDI concluded the following from this phase of the test work: ▪ The flotation response of all the mineralization types and grades to standard operating

conditions at the San Manuel concentrator is excellent. In the single-stage flotation tests, copper recoveries ranged from plus 90 percent for lower grade composites to as high as 99 percent for higher grade mineralization, along with rougher concentrate grades ranging from about 22 percent copper to as high as 42 percent copper depending on the bornite content in the feeds.

▪ In the confirmatory locked-cycle flotation tests, the recoveries of copper in the final concentrates were 96 to 98 percent with grades varying from 27 to 62 percent copper depending on the bornite content in the feeds.

▪ It should be noted that the excellent results obtained in the above tests required a

grind P80: equal to 140 microns.

▪ The results also showed that the recoveries of the by-product molybdenum, were also relatively high and varied from a low of 26 percent to a high as 94 percent depending on the head grade of Mo in the composite samples.

▪ The Work Index determined for the composite samples investigated were as follows:

Softer Mineralization Composite: 11.5 kWh/ton Harder Mineralization Composite: 13.2 kWh/ton.

▪ In regard to the quality of the final flotation concentrates, the detailed chemical

analysis for 22 elements including toxic elements indicated that all the final products were relatively clean of toxic elements except for unusually high arsenic content in some of the concentrates.

▪ This arsenic contamination was attributed to the presence of tennantite occurrences in

some localized areas of the Copper Creek deposits. According to AMT's geological staff, this occurrence of arsenic has been recognized in some limited locations in the deposit and should not be a detrimental issue in most of the resources. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge the presence of arsenic and appropriate steps need to be taken to keep the arsenic content below the tolerable limit in the final copper concentrates.

▪ Results of copper-molybdenum selective flotation tests on the bornite rich bulk

flotation concentrates indicated that molybdenum depressants such as Dextrine and starches were more effective in depressing molybdenite rather than NaSH, ferro-cyanide and cyanide used for copper depression. Effective copper-molybdenum separations were also achieved by floating the molybdenum selectively with fuel oil prior to flotation of copper by conventional collectors. Similarly, effective separation of molybdenum from the copper-moly bulk concentrates was achieved by using the Xanthate type collector for bulk concentration. In this case, the Xanthate complex was decomposed by acid conditioning and then the copper was depressed with the conventional NaSH technique. Equally effective separation of molybdenum was achieved by this technique using the standard flotation reagents that were used by the San Manuel concentrator.

Review of the chemical analyses of the final copper concentrates from locked-cycle tests shown in Table 13-8 indicated that two out of eight composite samples showed high arsenic content. Since this high arsenic content would render the concentrates difficult to market, or at the best involve a hefty penalty, it was recommended that AMT geological staff evaluate the extent of copper and arsenic mineralization (tennantite) in the Copper Creek Property. James Guthrie, AMT Chief Geologist, indicates that the arsenic content is rather limited and that "arsenic is not present in any significant amount until below the 3,460 ft elevation in the Copper Creek Property. Accordingly, the arsenic content in the final copper concentrates would be under the acceptable limits for a major portion of the mine life. It is envisaged that if and when arsenic content becomes a major issue, that effective techniques for blending the mineralized material or separating arsenic from copper concentrates will be available.

13.5 Current Metallurgical Study

Pursuant to instructions from Joe Sandberg, President of Redhawk Copper Inc., METCON Research (METCON) has conducted a preliminary variability flotation study on 14 composite samples from Copper Creek Project. The composite samples studied were identified as follows:

Composite 1 - Copper Grade in the 0.2 to 0.3 Percent Range Composite 2 - Chalcopyrite Dominant ≥ 0.2 to 0.5 Percent Copper Composite 3 - Chalcopyrite Dominant ≥ 0.5 Percent Copper Composite 4 - Bornite Moderate to Strong ≥ 0.2 to 0.5 Percent Copper Composite 5 - Bornite Moderate to Strong ≥ 0.5 Percent Copper Composite 6 - High Copper Grade Composite 7 - Mid Copper Grade Composite 8 - Low Copper Grade Composite 9 - SE Low Grade Composite 10 - SE Moderate High Copper Grade Composite 11 - SE High Bornite Composite 12 - SW Low Copper Grade Composite 13 - SW Moderate High Copper Grade Composite 14 - SW High Bornite

A preliminary variability flotation study was conducted on 14 composite samples from the Copper Creek Project in San Manuel, Arizona. The metallurgical data developed indicated that the copper and molybdenum contained in the Copper Creek composite samples studied are amenable to copper and molybdenum recovery by froth flotation process. The metallurgical data developed are summarized in the following paragraphs. 13.5.1 Sample Preparation and Head Assay

The composite samples were prepared per instruction received from Joe Sandberg. Test charges of 1,000 grams were prepared for head assays, grind calibration and flotation testing. A test charge from each composite was selected at random, pulverized to 100 percent minus 150 mesh and a sample submitted for head assays. The results obtained are summarized in Table 13-9.

14.0 MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE 14.1 Summary In the Copper Creek 43-101 Technical Report, dated October 28, 2008, individual models were constructed by IMC for each of the seven Copper Creek deposits (Copper Prince, Globe, Old Reliable, Childs-Aldwinkle, Mammoth, Keel and American Eagle) and resources were reported separately for each deposit. These models were designed to evaluate a selective, underground mining approach. The resources reported here are obtained from a single model that covers the entire Copper Creek area and which is designed to investigate bulk mining potential. Grades in the IMC model were estimated using inverse distance to the tenth power (ID10) in three estimation domains: the high grade breccias, the lower grade upper zone and the higher grade lower zone. The lower zone was estimated with a 550ft by 500ft (horizontal) and 200ft vertical search, and the upper zone and breccias were estimated with a 100ft by 100 ft (horizontal) and 500ft vertical search. The boundaries between the three domains were treated as hard boundaries. The mineral resource in Table 14-1 is tabulated at a 0.20% copper equivalent (CuEq) within a cone geometry based on $3.00/lb copper equivalent, current estimates of recoveries for copper, molybdenum and silver and operating costs. Other cutoffs are shown to provide an indication of the distribution of tonnage and grade. Tonnages were calculated assuming a constant density of 12.5 cu ft/ton (2.56 g/cc). Resources were classified as measured, indicated or inferred based on the number of holes within the search, kriging variance and estimation uncertainties introduced by the presence of holes with unassayed intervals. In preparing this estimate IMC has assumed that all of the data supplied to it, including assay and survey data, are correct to within normally-accepted limits of error.

Mean composite grades are lower than mean assay grades because assay intervals tend to be shorter in higher-grade zones. Figure 14-2 shows log-transformed cumulative frequency plots of 25ft composite copper and molybdenum grades for all Copper Creek samples. Both distributions are effectively lognormal with no indication of high-grade outlier populations.

Figure 14-3 shows log-transformed cumulative frequency plots of 25ft composite copper grades by deposit. Distributions are lognormal in Old Reliable, Mammoth-Keel and American Eagle. The inflections in the Globe, Copper Prince and Old Reliable distributions probably reflect separate high-grade breccia populations.

Figure 14-3: 25ft Composite Cumulative Frequency, Copper and Molybdenum, by Deposit

Reviews failed to detect any very-high-grade “outlier” copper or molybdenum composites, so no cap grades were applied before grades in the model were estimated. 14.4 Variograms, Distribution of Mineralization Constructing representative copper variograms at Copper Creek is complicated by the widely variable drillhole spacing, the comparatively large number of unassayed intervals and the fact that only higher-grade intervals were assayed in some drilling campaigns. However, reasonable results were obtained with covariance variograms run on 25ft copper composites that had been de-clustered relative to 100x100x25ft blocks. The results of these variograms are summarized in Table 14-4.

These ranges are typical of large porphyry copper deposits and tend to be longest in the vertical direction. The horizontal ranges suggest a 1.4:1 north-south mineralized elongation, but variogram quality is not good enough to confirm this. Molybdenum variograms were not constructed because molybdenum makes only a comparatively minor economic contribution and because molybdenum grade tends to track copper grade. Mineralized trends at Copper Creek can be subdivided into those inside the breccias, which are mostly vertical or sub-vertical, and the more disseminated mineralization outside the breccias, which when examined on section can be seen to exhibit both horizontal and vertical trends. Since the bulk of the Copper Creek resource is located outside the breccias it was therefore concluded that a spherical search was most appropriate for estimating grades in the model, and the omnidirectional variogram shown in Figure 14-4 was used to establish search parameters for an initial estimate of the block grades. The Redhawk geologists reviewed the level and sections of this initial resource model and expressed concern that the mineralization in the upper areas of copper creek outside of the breccia zones was too widely estimated for the knowledge of the mineralization in this area and the drill spacing. As well, the breccias being more vertically oriented, should have a more vertical component to the grade estimate search parameters. It was decided to use a more conservative estimate in the upper zone of Copper Creek where the mineralization outside of the breccias can be more sporadic. The Redhawk geologist provided a surface based on the continuity of copper grades in the drill holes which divided the mineralization into an upper zone and lower zone. The upper zone would be estimated with a limited horizontal search and the lower zone would use a wider horizontal search.

Drilling at American Eagle is reasonably evenly-spaced, and on the Figure 14-5 section it defines a broadly continuous mineralized zone at depth that has no obvious preferred orientation. However, the presence of long unassayed intervals in a number of holes (e.g. RAE-11-064 on the east side of the section) introduces uncertainties into the grade estimates in some areas. Hole RAE-11-064 is a recently completed hole and all of the assay results were not available at the data cutoff time for this resource update. Likewise, hole RAE-11-061 was still being drilling at the data cutoff point. Redhawk is continuing to add to the drill hole data base both with new drilling and the assaying of intervals in previous drilled holes which were not assayed. This is an ongoing program to make the data base more complete. Drilling in the deposits northwest of American Eagle is heavily concentrated in and around the higher-grade breccia deposits with very few holes drilled in the areas between or below them. In addition, many of the holes were either not assayed outside the breccias or were assayed only in higher-grade intervals. This incomplete and/or selective assaying can introduce large uncertainties into the grade estimates outside the breccias, although grades in the breccias are well-defined by the close-spaced drilling. 14.5 Grade Estimation The IMC Copper Creek model extends from 631600N to 641700N, from 399000E to 410100E and from 500 to 5275 ft elevation. With a model block size of 100x100x25ft it contains 110 columns, 100 rows and 191 tiers for a total of 2,101,000 blocks. 14.5.1 Selection of Grade Estimation Operator IMC's experience in porphyry copper deposits where mined-model comparisons are available shows that a higher-power inverse distance operator is usually needed to match the model grade distribution to the blast hole grade distribution, and that the blast hole grade distribution is usually best matched when this operator “splits the difference” between ordinary kriging (OK), which tends to overstate tons and understates grade, and nearest-neighbor polygons (NNP), which tends to understate tons and overstate grade. Using these criteria it was found that an inverse distance to the tenth power (ID10) operator was appropriate for Copper Creek. Figure 14-7 compares the copper block grade distributions obtained using this operator with the distributions obtained using ordinary kriging (OK) and nearest-neighbor polygons (NNP) in the Copper Creek model for initial block model runs.

14.5.2 Internal Boundaries and Grade Estimation Searches One identified geologic “hard boundary” in the deposit occurs at the contacts of the high-grade breccias with the surrounding unbrecciated material. A second boundary was created at the top of the ‘continuous’ mineralization as identified by the Redhawk geologist. This boundary can be seen on Figure 14-8. Copper, molybdenum and silver grades were estimated separately inside and outside breccia blocks, with grades in the breccia blocks estimated using only composites that intersected these blocks and grades outside the breccia blocks estimated using only composites that did not. The breccia shapes were input to the current model from earlier and more detailed models constructed by IMC. The same approach was used at the boundary of the upper zone of dis-continuous mineralization and the lower zone of more continuous mineralization. Copper, molybdenum and silver were estimated using a 550 by 550 horizontal and 200 ft vertical search and a maximum/minimum of 12/2 25ft composites in the lower zone. The 550ft search is 70% of the omnidirectional variogram range (Figure 14-4). The breccias have a more vertical component (versus horizontal) to them and the search was oriented to 100ft by 100 ft horizontal and 500 ft vertical with the same 12 and 2 maximum and minimum composites within the search ellipse used for grade estimation. The upper zone used the same search parameters as the breccia.

14.5.3 Treatment of Unassayed Intervals As shown in Table 14-2, 26% of the drilled intervals at Copper Creek are unassayed for copper and 47% for molybdenum. The normal approach in such cases is to assume that these intervals were not assayed because they were unmineralized and to assign low-grade default values to them before grades are estimated in the model. For the following reasons, however, it was decided to leave these intervals as “no data” values and to allow for uncertainties in the resource classifications, as discussed later.

1. Approximately 85% of the unassayed intervals are in the more recent AMT and Redhawk holes. Additional assaying recently completed by Redhawk shows that unassayed intervals in the Redhawk holes are not necessarily low-grade.

2. Some of the low-grade intervals that were left unassayed during earlier drilling campaigns

would have been low-grade only by the standards of the time.

3. Assigning low-grade default copper grades to all of the 6,413 composite intervals that have no copper values has the impact of cutting total resources by up to 30% depending on the default value and cutoff grade used. This test was done on a block model prior to the final estimate. (No estimate was made for molybdenum.)

14.5.4 Model Results Because 40% of the intervals that are assayed for copper are not assayed for molybdenum, 208,956 blocks in the IMC model are assigned copper grades but only 166,526 are assigned molybdenum grades and 123,551 assigned silver grades. At a 0.2% copper cutoff, however, almost all of the blocks that are assigned copper grades are assigned molybdenum grades (79,688 vs. 76,448). Silver has fewer assigned at 63,970 blocks.

Block grade distributions in the IMC model are summarized in the following figures. Figure 14-8: Block copper grades along the 635000N drillhole composite grade section shown in Figure 14-5.

14.5.5 Resource Classification Resources were initially classified as indicated where composites with copper values from six or more holes were present within the search ellipse and as inferred where there were fewer than six for the lower domain. In the upper domain, the minimum number of holes for at least an indicated classification was reduced to three holes because of the shorter search. The six-hole-minimum criterion for the lower domain is supported by kriging variances, which are a measure of the errors to which individual block grade estimates are subject. Figure 14-12, which plots kriging variance against the number of drillholes in the search, shows kriging variance increasing gradually as the number of holes within the search decreases from ten to six but increasing more rapidly as the number falls below six. This inflection defines the six-hole minimum as an appropriate confidence threshold for segregating inferred from indicated material.

Figure 14-12 Kriging Variance Vs. Number of Holes in Search Ellipsoid

The indicated classification was sub-divide into measured and indicated by using the number of drill holes within a shorter distance from the block center. To be classified as measured in the breccias and upper domain, there had to be 3 drill holes within 100 feet and for the lower domain, three holes had to be within a 200ft by 200ft (horizontal) and 100 ft vertically.

The final resource classifications are strictly applicable only to copper grades, but since molybdenum and silver make only a comparatively small economic contribution the classifications have also been applied to these grades as well. Resource classification results are summarized in Figures 14-13 and 14-14, which show indicated and inferred blocks along the 635000N and 638000N drillhole composite grade sections used in Figures 14-5, 14-6, 14-8 and 14-9 and in the copper grade-thickness plan maps above a 0.2% cutoff shown in Figure 14-15 (measured plus indicated) and Figure 14-16 (inferred).

14.6 Mineral Resource The model of the Copper Creek mineralization has assumed a bulk mining method for potential development of the deposit, either by underground or open pit. The tabulation of the mineral resource is based on using an open pit approach, thus the resource is tabulated within a floating cone geometry using the input parameters listed in Table 14-7. A copper equivalent (CuEq) value is assigned to the blocks in the resource model for running the floating cone economics. The CuEq equation based on the metal prices and recoveries included in Table 14-7 is: CuEq% = Cu% + 3.879 x Mo% + 0.011 x Ag(ppm).

Table 14-7 Inputs to Mineral Resource Cone Geometry

Metal Price Process Recovery Copper $2.75/lb 90% Molybdenum $12.00/lb 80% Silver $20.00/oz 90% Process + G&A Cost $6.50/ton Base Mining Cost $1.50/ton Additional Mining Cost below 3675 elevation

$0.015/ton per 25 ft bench

Smelting, Refining and Freight $0.25/lb copper Overall Slope Angle for Cone 47 degrees

The geometry of a floating cone run at $3.00/lb CuEq is selected to tabulate the resource this providing a reasonable potential of extraction. The mineral resource tonnage and grade at a 0.20% CuEq cutoff within the cone geometry is tabulated in Table 14-8. These tonnage and grades include the material in the upper domain including the breccias and the lower domain of the porphyry mineralization. Other cutoffs are presented to show how the distribution of tonnage and grade changes within the cone geometry by cutoff.

14.7 Uncertainties The resource estimates assume that the copper and molybdenum at Copper Creek occurs entirely in the form of sulfides. However, approximately 10% of the intervals at Copper Creek are assayed for acid soluble copper, and acid soluble/total copper ratio values in these intervals indicate that significant oxidation is present down to depths of at least 500 feet in the Globe, Copper Prince, Old Reliable and Peripheral areas, although oxidation in Childs-Aldwinkle, Mammoth and American Eagle is mostly superficial. Table 14-9 summarizes mean acid soluble/total copper ratios by depth range and deposit. (Ratios of over 0.1 are indicative of some oxidation, ratios of over 0.2 are indicative of significant oxidation and ratios of over 0.5 are indicative of dominant oxidation. Blank cells signify no data.) Table 14-9 Acid Soluble to Total Copper Ratio, Assays, Total Copper Greater Than 0.10%

Area 0-100ft 100-200 200-400 400-600 600-800 800-1000 >1000 1. Globe 0.69 0.26 0.28 0.28

2. Copper Prince 0.56 0.28 0.20 0.32 0.15 3. Old Reliable 0.42 0.37 0.25 0.18 0.22

4. Childs-Aldwinkle 0.33 0.16 0.16 0.06 0.08 0.04 5. Mammoth 0.21 0.08 0.08

6. American Eagle 0.24 0.08 0.11 0.04 0.04 0.02 0.07 0. Peripheral 0.53 0.65 0.25

The current resources make no allowance for lower mill recoveries in oxidized or partially-oxidized material because the distribution of oxidation could not be defined in the model (the acid soluble copper data are not extensive enough and the assay data base contains no “oxide” variable). However, the Globe, Copper Prince and Old Reliable deposits contain only a small percentage of the total resource, so the impacts are unlikely to be appreciable, but should be kept in mind as the project moves forward. The uncertainties introduced by the large number of unassayed intervals in the data base was tested in an earlier grade estimation run by downgrading indicated blocks to inferred in cases where assigning 0.10% copper default values to the unassayed intervals lowered the copper grade by more than 5% (the decrease in average copper grade in all affected blocks was 45%). As shown in Table 14-10, this resulted in a 25-30% reduction in the number of indicated blocks.

However, there is no guarantee that grades will remain as high as the “without default copper values” grades shown in Table 14-10. It is IMC’s understanding that Redhawk is working on assaying much of the unassayed intervals within the data base.

16.0 MINING METHODS The K D Engineering Co., Inc. (KDE) scoping study dated 12 March 2010 evaluated a small tonnage underground operating which would feed a process plant at 2,500 tons per day (tpd) and expanding later to 10,000 tpd. The current resource is much larger in size than that used in the KDE study and thus a large scape mining approach will need to be considered, either by open pit and large scale underground mining. At this point, mining method selection studies are underway, but the results are not available.

17.0 RECOVERY METHODS Section 19 of the KDE March 2010 Scoping Study has been updated and revised to include the results of metallurgical testing completed in the interim and are reported in Section 13 of the current report. It is anticipated that the recovery method for the majority if not all of the Copper Creek resource will be by flotation of a copper-molybdenum concentrate and subsequent separation to a copper concentrate and molybdenum concentrate for sale. The sizing of a facility to handle the current resource and subsequent engineering to design the facility has not been done.

18.0 PROJECT INFRASTRUCTURE The infrastructure requirements for a mining operation at Copper Creek were discussed in the KDE Scoping Study of March 2010 and the general requirements of process plant, tailings storage, waste rock storage, roads, water and power remain as general requirements. The potential size of the project has changed greatly and thus the quantities required for power and water for example are unknown. As the project becomes better defined in it potential larger size, the project infrastructure will be determined at that time. The material changes to the project envisioned in this report do not exceed the know capacity of the local infrastructure capabilities. It is the opinion of Redhawk and its consultants that water resources, power and transportation will be available for the project. The San Manuel mine operated for several decades in the immediate vicinity and the general infrastructure which supported that operation is still in place.

20.0 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES, PERMITTING AND SOCIAL OR COMMUNITY

IMPACT Table 20-1 is extracted from the KDE March 2010 Scoping Study (Table 20.3.1.1 in the KDE report). The major permits required for Copper Creek have not changed. The scope of each permit and the time/cost to acquire these permits is very likely to change with the enhanced size of the project. At this time no estimates have been made as to the extent of those changes.

22.0 ECONOMIC ANALYSIS The economic analysis presented in the March 2010 Scoping Study prepared by KDE was for a small project based on the initial underground mining of the breccias, and expanding into the higher grade zone of the lower porphyry at a later date. This project provided an IRR of 20.4% using $2.75/lb copper. The resource has been expanded since that study and a large, bulk mining project is envisioned. The March 2010 economic analysis no longer applies to the future evaluation of the Copper Creek resource. No estimates have been made with respect to the current resource.

23.0 ADJACENT PROPERTIES The Copper Creek Property lies within the porphyry copper metallogenic province of the southwestern United States. There are several large adjacent properties that have been or still are major producers of copper. The San Manuel/Kalamazoo deposit lies within 15 miles of the Copper Creek Property and the Ray Mine lies approximately 50 miles north of the property. San Manuel was a major underground copper mine until its closure, with production in excess of 50,000 short tons per day. ASARCO Ray is a large open pit copper mine that is still in operation. Within the Copper Creek Property, there has been historic copper production as discussed in Section 6, History. Mining in the Childs-Aldwinkle breccia was as recently as 1965 with the majority of mining done between 1933 and 1938. This mining occurred in the central and southern fingers of the breccia pipe. The resource estimate for the Childs-Aldwinkle presented in this report is in the north finger and the breccia body below the three fingers. There is no evidence of historic mining in the area of the resource estimate. Mining in the Old Reliable occurred in 1972 when the upper portion of it was rubblized with one major blast and the broken rock was leached for copper. The leaching operation continued through 1981 with about 12 million pounds of copper recovered. Some of the post leaching drilling shows remaining copper within the rubblized zone. Redhawk is currently exploring an area north of Copper Creek which is referred to as Copper Creek North. This area shows the potential for copper mineralization.

Redhawk Copper, Inc. 25-1 Copper Creek 2012 Mineral Resource Update

June 2012

25.0 INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS The results of the 2012 mineral resource update is an expanded resource particularly in the deeper porphyry based on the addition of 30 deep holes drilled since the 2008 mineral resource and the assaying of existing drill holes to fill in missing intervals. The 2012 mineral resource is presented in Table 25-1 at a 0.20% copper equivalent cutoff. The potential development of this resource is envisioned to be a large bulk mining operation which would process material at this lower cutoff grade compared to the selective, underground mining approach used to define the 2008 mineral resource. The mineral resource on Table 25-1 is within a $3.00/lb copper cone geometry. Other cutoff grades are included on the table to show the distribution of tonnage and grade within the cone geometry.

26.0 RECOMMENDATIONS The following work is envisioned to carry the Copper Creek project forward through the end of 2012 and into early 2013. IMC agrees with the work plan.

• Based on the 2012 mineral resource, evaluate the best mining approach to develop the resource either by open pit or underground.

• Continue the assaying of older drill holes un-assayed intervals to fill in the drill hole data base.

• Continue with the metallurgical test work. • Continue with the evaluation of water sources. • Continue work on the geologic model of the deposits. • Develop the targets for the initial shallow drilling of vein zones and the larger

breccias over the deeper resource. • Evaluate locations for tailings and waste rock storage. • Depending on the results of the trade off study between an open pit and large

underground mining approach, define the next steps for the selected method. No budget for the above work plan has been reviewed by IMC.
