AUREUS MINE PROJECT

AUREUS EAST is the site of a high

grade past producing mine.

Well maintained infrastructure allows

for great access year round.

Mineralization is open in all directions

AUREUS WEST presents a unique

open pit target. Drilling to date has

shown the presence of significant

mineralization that is open

for expansion

Bendigo Gold Fields Analogue

>20M oz produced to date out of

the Bendigo gold Fields.

Folded Saddle Reef system is like

Kirkland Lake Gold’s Fosterville

mine. Currently the highest-grade

lowest cost producer globally.

Drilling to date at Aureus has been

tightly focused along 1.4km of

strike. Opportunity exists to expand

laterally into mineralized fold limbs

and at depth to discover additional

high-grade saddles.

5,000m underground drilling C$250K

PHASE 3 Upgrade High Grade Saddles at Depth to M&I

25m spacing and 10,000m of drilling C$250K

Implied Budget C$6.5M

Develop Aureus West

to confirm in pit ounces

Future plans include growing the mine to contain

250 koz Au Measured & Indicated

PHASE 1 Upgrade known area of mineralization to M&I

5,000m C$1.25M

PHASE 2 Grow deposit along strike anddepth

5,000m C$1.25M

OTHER PROJECTS

Close Proximity to 58N. The Lipton

claims are contiguous to Kirkland Lake

Gold’s 58N high grade discovery south

of the Detour Lake Mine.

Two zones of anomalous gold

concentrations have been identified

in historical exploration drilling on the

Lipton property. The highest historical

gold concentrations are coincident

with the contact between sediments

and felsic tuffs.

Significant intersections from historical

programs include 10.7 g/t Au over 9.0

metres, reported in 1996; and 14.10 g/t

Au over 7.7metres, reported in 2006.

Close Proximity to Infrastructure

Tangier is located directly on the highway,

providing efficient, low cost access to

transportation.

Upside Potential of Addition High Grade

Resources in SurroundingAreas

Area B shows good grades continuing to

the west of the resources. Area C shows a

good intercept to the east of the resources.

Combined, Area B and C provide for

significant future potential for Tangier

Unmodeled, High Grade Resources

Strawberry Hill Zone to the east,

unmodeled, best intercept 13 g/t over

4.4m. Corrected, it would add additional

high grade resources and improve the

valuation of the project.

Future Exploration Potential

Based on available information, Forest

Hill veins have only been modestly

explored up – or down – dip from the

mine workings providing for future

exploration opportunities

High Grade Resources

There are a cluster of grades

discovered to the north-east of the

main trend

Cheap Resource Growth

Mines with high grade resources that

remain undrilled. Some samples appear

to be poorly taken above and below.

Checks of assays contain noerrors,

availability of assay certificates and

core confirmation could result in a

cheap, growth opportunity.

MIKWAM GEOLOGY

The Mikwam Property lies in the Harricana-Turgeon beltwithin the

northern portion of the Abitibi greenstone belt, this belt hosts

polymetallic deposits and multimillion-ounce gold depositssuch as

the Eagle mine, the Casa-Berardi mine and the Detour mine.

Recentexploration has concentrated on theA8 3200 vein system

which consists of a zone of quartz flooding, silicification, and

sulphidization which lies at or near the contact of chloritic iron

formation and either argillite or conglomerate. Medium to coarse

grained cubic pyrite and coarse grained arsenopyrite within a

highly sericitized, quartz flooded matrix comprises the bulk of the

mineralized gold zone.The best gold values tend to be associated

with pyrite containingvugs.

Mikwam and the Casa Berardi mine are both situatedon

Casa BerardiDeformation Zone (CBDZ).

CASA BERARDI DEFORMATION ZONE

The Casa Berardi Deformation

Zone (CBDZ) is a major,

subvertical regional structure

4 to 6 km wide and at least 60 km

in length. The CBDZ is crosscut

at low angle by the Casa Berardi

fault which is a brittle, schistose

zone 0.5 to 5 m thick

The structure is also responsible

for the gold mineralization

at the Casa Berardi Mine
