Exploration potential
High potential to increase the geological potential
First 3 levels of the mine less covered by drilling (= fewer assays) than the levels below.
↓ Drilling from surface to the level 3 may result in a increase of the exploration potential near surface
Opemiska property - 2015
22 new drilling targets suggested by RPA ready to be drill!

Opemiska property - 2015
Key points
Property owned 100% by Ex-In (small private company) and open for option/purchase
Exploration potential estimated at over 40 million short tons at an average grade of 1.0% Cu and 0.5 g/t Au
High potential to increase tonnage and grade after new drilling suggested by RPA
Based on historical and recent metallurgical test, high recovery of copper and gold is anticipated
Will very likely lead to a combination of open pit(s) and/or large underground operations
Mining operations could start very fast (about 3 years) since airport (within 20km), operating railroad, paved road, power station, power line and people are already in site.
