The Discovery historical resource estimate is sourced from “Technical Report on the Scoping Study and Mineral Resource Estimate for

the Discovery Project (according to Regulation 43-101 and Form 43-101F1)” by InnovExplo Inc., prepared by Carl Pelletier, PGeo for

Cadiscor Resources Inc. in 2008. The historical estimate is not relevant today because additional diamond drilling completed by NAP

Quebec since 2008 must be included, and the cut-off grade applied to the resource estimate must be re-evaluated in light of present

market conditions (gold price, exchange rate, and mining cost). Maudore believes that the historical estimate is reliable because

Maudore has worked extensively with InnovExplo and the author since 2006, and believes that all work was completed at a high

professional standard. Resource categories used in the historical estimate are in compliance with CIM Definition Standards on Mineral

Resources and Mineral Reserves. Parameters used are minimum mining width of 1.6 m (horizontal thickness), cut-off grade of 3 g/t Au,

capping grade of 35 g/t Au, and specific gravity of 2.82 g/cm3. Polygonal on longitudinal method used cross sections to confirm grade and

thickness, which were located on a longitudinal section, where polygons were traced and the volume and grade calculated (using

AutoCAD and Promine software). In order to upgrade the historical estimate new drilling must be digitized, validated, and quality control

protocols checked, prior to appending to the current drill database which will then be imported to GEMs software to generate a block

model and estimate a mineral resource. All work must be completed by qualified persons and evaluated to the current 43-101 Standards

for Mineral Projects. A qualified person has not performed sufficient work to classify the Discovery historical estimate as a

current mineral resource; and Maudore is not treating the Discovery historical mineral resource estimate as a current mineral

The Flordin historical resource estimate is sourced from “43-101 Technical Report and Resource Estimate on the Flordin Property

(according to Regulation 43-101 and Form 43-101F1)” by InnovExplo Inc. and prepared by Pierre-Luc Richard, PGeo and Carl Pelletier,

PGeo for North American Palladium Ltd in 2011, which was filed on SEDAR. The historical estimate is not relevant today because

additional diamond drilling completed by NAP Quebec since 2011 must be included, and the cut-off grade applied to the resource

estimate must be re-evaluated in light of present market conditions (gold price, exchange rate, and mining cost). Maudore believes that

the historical estimate is reliable because Maudore has worked extensively with InnovExplo and the authors since 2006, and believes that

all work was completed at a high professional standard. Resource categories used in the historical estimate are in compliance with CIM

Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. InnovExplo used the squared inverse distance method to interpolate

gold grades in a block model, and a pit-shell confined portions of the model. A minimum cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au was used for the open

pit portion of the Mineral Resource Estimate and a minimum cut-off grade of 3.50 g/t Au was used for the underground model. Drill hole

intercepts were calculated to a 3.0 meter minimum true thickness and specific gravity of 2.8 t/m3 was used. In order to upgrade the

historical estimate new drilling must be added to the database, validated and quality control protocols checked, prior to being appended to

the current dataset for a subsequent block model, mineral resource estimate, and possible Whittle pit shell model. All work must be

completed by qualified persons and evaluated to the current 43-101 Standards for Mineral Projects. A qualified person has not

SLEEPING GIANT HISTORICAL RESOURCE

The table below sets forth the historical mineral resource estimates acquired with the purchase of NAP Quebec. A qualified

person has not performed sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources; and

Maudore is not treating the table of historical mineral resource estimates as current mineral resource estimates.

Sleeping Giant A 2008 measured and indicated resource of 489,200 tonnes grading 9.7 g/t Au

for 152,743 ounces Au.

153

Measured and

Indicated

The Sleeping Giant historical resource estimate is sourced from “Technical Report, The Sleeping Giant Mine Northwestern Quebec” by

Genivar LP, and prepared by Tyson Birkett, PEng, Josée Couture, PEng, and Christian Bézy, PGeo for Cadiscor Resources Inc. in 2008.

The historical estimate is not relevant today for several reasons: 1) additional drilling completed by NAP Quebec since 2008 must be

included; 2) material mined by NAP Quebec since 2008 must be subtracted from the historical resource estimate (prior reserve estimates

are not included for this reason); 3) cut-off grade applied to the resource estimate must also be re-evaluated in light of present market

conditions (gold price, exchange rate, and mining cost); 4) recent work and subsequent reporting by NAP Quebec not available to the

public have demonstrated the historical estimate is out of date. Maudore believes that the historical estimate can be relied on because

much of it is based on mining experience at Sleeping Giant and believes that work was conducted at a high technical standard and the

author is an employee of NAP Quebec and is known to Maudore. Resource categories used in the historical estimate are in compliance

with CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. Mineral resources were calculated using the polygon

method on inclined longitudinal sections, which has been used in the past to yield reliable results. Capping varied from 60-250 g/t Au

depending on the vein; grades, tonnage and costs derived from actual mining were integrated, and minimum mining width 1.6m applied

to stopes with dip greater than 50° and minimum mining width 1.8m applied to stopes with dip less than 50°. Nominal dilution of 15% was

applied, and mining recovery varied from 75-100%. In order to upgrade the historical estimate, a massive project of digitization of paper

records is required, then new drilling must be added to the database, validated, and quality control protocols checked. Underground
