Disclaimer
This presentation contains a review of the Company’s properties in Canada. Viewers are cautioned that the projects are at an early stage of exploration and that estimates and projectionscontained herein are based on limited and incomplete data. More work is required before the mineralization on the projects and their economic aspects can be confidentaly modeled.Therefore, the work results and estimates herein may be considered to be generally indicative only of the nature and quality of the projects. No representation or prediction is intended as tothe results of future work, nor can there be any promise that the estimates herein will be confirmed by future exploration or analysis, or that the projects will otherwise prove to beeconomic.
The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the accuracy or adequacy of this presentation, which has been prepared by management. There can beno assurance that any of the assumptions in the resource estimates will be supported by a Pre-feasibility or Feasibility Study or that any forward looking event will come to pass. The data isincomplete and considerable additional work will be required to complete further evaluation, including but not limited to drilling, engineering and socio-economic studies and investment.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and all investors are urged to consult their investment professionals before making an investment decision. Investors are furthercautioned that past performance is no guarantee of future performance
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information included in this presentation constitutes forward-looking statements, including any information as to our projects, plans and future performance. All statements, otherthan statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “will”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “budget”, “schedule” and similarexpressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable bymanagement, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differmaterially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Such factors include, but are not limited to: changes to current estimates of mineral resources; labour availability; litigation; availability of and increased costs associated with contractorsand exploration equipment; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits; contests over title to properties;uncertainty with the Company’s ability to secure capital to execute its business plans; changes in national and local government legislation in Canada; risk of loss due to sabotage and civildisturbances; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; and business opportunities that may be pursued by the Company. Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affectour actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us. Readers are cautionedthat forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.
The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except asrequired by applicable law.
Cautionary Note to U.S Investors Concerning Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
This presentation uses the terms “measured,” “indicated” and “inferred resources. We advise investors that while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, theUnited States Securities and Exchange commission does not recognize them. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or othereconomic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. UnitedStates investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

HORNE 5 PROJECT| MINERALIZATION
The Horne Mine orebodies (Upper H, Lower H and Horne 5 deposit) Dip subvertically within rhyolitic flows,
breccias, and tuffs that are bounded by the Andesite and the Horne Creek faults.
Least-altered rhyolites have low K2O contents and other geochemical features that place them within the FII tholeiitic series (Lesher et al., 1986)
Graded volcaniclastic beds, metal zoning in the orebodies, and locations of chloritized-mineralized rhyolites indicate that the volcanic sequence youngs to the north.
The volcanics in the fault wedge are variably silicified and sericitized, and local zones in the orebody sidewalls and footwall are chloritized
The Horne Block lies between the Horne Creek Fault and the Andesite Fault

Appendix B – Mineral Resource Estimates & Modeling Notes
1. The effective date of the resource estimate is September 26, 2016. The Independent and Qualified Persons for the Mineral Resource Estimate as required by National Instrument 43-101 are Carl Pelletier, P. Geo., B.Sc. and Guilhem Servelle, P.Geo., M.Sc., both employees of InnovExplo Inc.
2. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability. 3. While the results are presented undiluted and in situ, the reported mineral resources are considered by the Qualified Persons to have reasonable prospects for economic extraction. 4. These estimates include six (6) low grade gold-bearing mineralized zones.5. The principal low-grade gold-bearing mineralized zone includes six (6) high-grade gold-bearing zones, one (1) high-grade copper-bearing zone, one (1) high grade zinc-bearing zone, three (3)
high-grade silver-bearing zones. Note that these high-grade zones may overlap each other.6. Resources were compiled at NSR cut-offs of C$40, C$45, C$50, C$55, C$60, C$65, C$70, C$75, C$80, C$85, C$90, C$95, and C$100 per tonne for sensitivity purposes.7. The official base case resource is reported at a C$55 per tonne NSR cut-off. 8. The appropriate NSR cut-off will vary depending on prevailing economic and operational parameters to be determined.9. NSR estimates are based on the following assumptions: exchange rate of $C1.30/$US, metal prices of (all $US): gold $1,300/oz, silver $18.50, copper $2.15/lb, zinc $1.00/lb (Long term
analyst consensus price forecast study). Net recoveries of 86.8% for gold, 74.9% for silver, 67.3% for zinc and 74.0% for copper. Smelting cost (including transportation) C$6.52 per tonne (based on the Cost Mine service as well as on non-public smelter contract obtained from one of the proposed destinations and on talks with transport providers).
10. Gold equivalent calculations assume these same metal prices.11. Inferred resources are separate from Indicated Resources12. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Resources in this estimate are uncertain in nature and there has not been sufficient work to define these Inferred Resources as Indicated or
Measured Resources. It is uncertain if further work will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured mineral resource category.13. The resource was estimated using Geovia GEMS 6.7. The estimate is based on 5,977 diamond drill holes (478,281m) of which 4,138 crosscut mineralized zones for a total of 177,996m of core
within these zones. For silver the estimate also uses the results of an exhaustive metallurgical test comprising 2,112 diamond drill holes assayed for silver over a total length of 75,540 meters. A minimum true thickness of 7.0 m was applied, using the grade of the adjacent material when assayed, or a value of zero when not assayed. Only the silver interpolation in the Inferred resources does not use the material when not assayed.
14. The estimate database contains also 14,799 channel samples for a total of 23,791m from drifts historically sampled. Channel sample data was only used for distance to composite criterion for resource classification purposes.
15. 91% of density values were estimated using historical drill hole iron assays data and Falco density data for an average of 3.41 g/cm3. Interpolation method use 3 pass ID2 for the ENV_A and HG_A to HG_F zones. 8% of density values were fixed at 2.88 g/cm3 for ENV_B to ENV_E zones due to the scarcity of the data. 2.88 g/cm3 representing the median of the available data. 1% of density values were fixed at 2.67 g/cm3 for ENV_F zone due to the scarcity of the date and to adequately characterise this quartz-rich zone.
16. Compositing was done on drill hole sections falling within the mineralized zones (composite = 3.0 metres). Tails shorter than 0.75 m were not created.17. Resources were evaluated from drill holes using an ID2 interpolation method in a block model (block size = 5 x 5 x 5 m).18. High grade capping was done on raw assay data and established on a per zone basis for gold (Au g/t): (HG_A: 35; HG_B: 35; HG_C: 25; HG_D: 35; HG_E: 25; HG_F: 35; ENV_A: 35; ENV_B: 25;
ENV_C: 25; ENV_D: 20; ENV_E: 35; ENV_F: 25) and for silver (Ag g/t): SG_HG:100; HG_D: 165; HG_F: 165; ENV_A_SG_Low: 110; ENV_B: 100; ENV_C: 100; ENV_D: 100. Capping grade selection is supported by statistical analysis. No capping was applied to the Cu and Zn data based on statistical analysis.
19. The Mineral Resources presented herein are categorized as Measured, Indicated and Inferred. The Inferred category is only defined within the areas where blocks were interpolated during pass 1 or pass 2 in areas where continuity is sufficient to avoid isolated blocks. The Indicated category is only defined by blocks interpolated in areas where the maximum distance to the closest drill hole composite is less than 25m for blocks interpolated in passes 1 and 2. The Measured category is only defined by blocks classified as indicated and in sufficient proximity to sampled drifts (< 15m). The average distance to the nearest composite is 6.97 meters for the Measured resources, 10.01 meters for the Indicated resources and 40.10 meters for the Inferred resources.
20. Tonnage estimates were rounded to the nearest hundred tonnes. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects. Rounding practice follows the recommendations set out in Form 43-101F1.
21. CIM definitions and guidelines were followed in estimating mineral resources. 22. InnovExplo is not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other relevant issue that could materially affect the mineral resource
estimate. 23. Metal contained in ounces (troy) = metric tonnes x grade / 31.10348. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes and g/t). Metal contents are presented in ounces and pounds .
