"I think to finally reach a friendly agreement on this contentious issue that has taken two years is extremely positive," said Antonio Brufau, Repsol's chairman.
Los Azules ranks as one of the top 2 or 3 world class deposits that are “for sale” and in a low risk jurisdiction
TNR has a 0.36% NSR on the entire deposit and will get 1% of any purchase price paid to & received by McEwen in respect of any sale, assignment of transfer of all of its interest in the Project

The Shotgun Project – Opportunity
Camp Scale Opportunity
• Shotgun Ridge is just one of multiple gold
target areas
• Gold mineralization identified at each prospect: Shot, King, and Winchester
• This group of prospects forms a distinct gold district held 90% by TNR
• Surface geochemistry identifies multiple gold anomalies with no known source
• Poor outcrop limited prospecting efforts in the past
• IP surveys can identify mineralized areas

The Shotgun Project
TSX.V : TNR 23
The Pebble Controversy
• The Shotgun Project straddles the Bristol Bay
and Kuskokwim Recording District boundary
• The Donlin Creek project is in the Kuskokwim Recording District
(“Donlin Gold enjoys broad support from both the Government of Alaska and the Alaska Native Corporations who are important participants in the project.” Novagold website September, 2013.)
• Kuskokwim District is less than 1 kilometre
“downhill” from the Shotgun Ridge Deposit
• Despite the difficulties at Pebble, Alaska is still considered one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world

TSX.V : TNR 24
Shotgun Zone Resource Estimate: effective date May 27, 2013 The Shotgun Zone mineral resource estimate is based on 34 diamond drill holes (NQ) totaling 4,932.3 metres, with 2,481 assays (0.2 up to 10 metres in length). Holes were drilled by several operators in five drill campaigns conducted between 1984 and 2012. The 34 drill holes are spaced primarily 40 to 100 metres apart in an area of approximately 375 x 300 metres. The drill holes tested mineralization to a vertical depth up to 150 metres. The Shotgun gold mineralization is associated with intrusions of various compositions (incl. granite porphyry) which intruded the Cretaceous sedimentary rocks of the Kuskokwim Group. Mineralization was emplaced within a compressional environment evidenced by northeast oriented right lateral strike slip faulting and open folding with northwest oriented axes. In the Shotgun Zone, northwest oriented dilational jogs or relay zones host mineralized quartz breccias. A resource model for the Shotgun Zone was constructed based on the distribution of the gold mineralization (> 0.3 to 0.5 g/t Au) and this model was used to constrain the composite values chosen for interpolation, and the ore blocks reported in the mineral resource. A block model (x – 548000, y – 6697000, z – 800, no rotation) with block dimensions of 5 x 5 x 5 metres in the x, y and z directions was placed over resource model solids with only that proportion of each block below the topographic/overburden surface and inside the solid recorded. Grades for gold were interpolated into the blocks by the inverse distance squared (ID2) method using a minimum of 2 and maximum of 12 composites to generate block grades in the Inferred resource category. The search ellipse used to interpolate grade into the blocks measured 110 x 60 x 110 (Principle Az – 235°, Principle Dip - 25°, Intemediate Az.- 325°). The size and orientation of the search ellipse approximates the strike, dip and thickness of the resource model and takes into account the limited drilling and relatively wide spacing of the drilling. Two metre composite samples were used in the resource estimation. An average specific gravity (SG) of 2.60 was used for the resource estimate. The average SG value is based on limited SG testing (18 samples) of representative mineralized core from 11 drill holes which intersect the resource model. Gemcom GEMS 6.4.1 software was used to complete the resource estimate. GeoVector has estimated a range of Inferred resources at various Au g/t cut-off grades (COG) for the Shotgun Zone. The current inferred resource is stated using a grade cut-off of 0.50 g/t Au. A cut-off grade of 0.50 is considered a reasonable economic cut-off grade for the Shotgun zone to maximize the grade of the resource while maintaining a coherent model of the resource. A COG of 0.50 is a reasonable cut-off for this type of Au deposit in this region (Donlin, Livengood). The inferred mineral resource estimate has been prepared in compliance with the standards of NI 43-101 Allan Armitage, PhD., P.Geol., of GeoVector Management Inc., and is responsible for the technical comments related to the resource estimate and its parameters. Armitage is an “independent qualified person” for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators and has verified the data disclosed in this release.
