Sugar Zone Property The principal asset of the Company is the 100% owned Sugar Zone

Property located 60 kms east of Hemlo, Ontario.

Preliminary Economic Assessment shows strong project economics,optimization will reduce capex and accelerate timelines

Current Deposit outlined to 500m only, Sugar Zone mineralizationtraced to 1,000m vertical, SZ-12-37 returned 10.5 g/t over 3.2m

Permitted 70,000 tonne bulk sample should yield >25,000 oz Au

2014 drill programs identified Wolf Zone down-plunge extension andnew mineralized structures.

2015 drill program tested IP survey targets in volcanic-sedimentcontact zone, potential footwall zone behind Sugar Zone Deposit .

Stoughton Abitibi Stoughton Abitibi is located 110 kms east of Timmins, Ontario

adjacent to the Saint Andrews Holloway Gold Mine (2M ounces Au) and its high grade Thunder and Smoke Deep discoveries

Property covers approximately 2,500 hectares and is situated along the Destor-Porcupine Fault – over 100 million gold ounces produced from this prolific regional structure

Drill program permitted and ready to go

Adjacent to and on-strike of gold mine = exploration potential.

From this data, it is clear

that large, high-grade

gold deposits are truly a

rare asset

Summary

Harte properties are located close to historic and producing mines in Ontario’s largest mining camps

Hemlo camp has a history of large high grade deposits, historical production and reserves/resources of approximately 30mm oz Au

Excellent local infrastructure, experienced labour pool

Development / Exploration targets are:

1. Begin mining Sugar Zone Deposit, continue exploration and development to target > 1 million ounces

2. Extend Sugar Zone Deposit strike length, Contact Zone, Footwall Zone, other en-echelon zones

3. Discover other deposits on wholly owned greenstone belt

Sugar Zone deposit is in the top 10% for global grade gold deposits

Higher grade = lower operating costs & greater profitability

Bulk sample scheduled to begin Q3 2015, completion end 2016 21
