• Most significant VMS style alteration and mineralization within the Savant-Sturgeon Lake Greenstone Belt, outside of the main Sturgeon Lake District
• Excellent infrastructure with paved highway access and the CNR main rail-line within 5 km
• Extensive geological database delineates 4 large alteration zones and VMS target areas
• Vast majority of drill holes <100 m deep and focussed mainly on Marchington Zone discovery
• Most holes not analyzed for Au; average of those analyzed ~0.7 g/t
• Only 3 drill holes completed since 1984
• No modern deep penetrating airborne EM or detailed magnetic surveys have been flown.
• Known mineralized zones are open in all directions
• Numerous isolated intercepts have not been followed up

• 1970-1980 - UMEX explored the Sabin claims and surrounding area.
– Regional TDEM surveys identified several conductors including 2 weak picks in the Marchington Zone where a surface discovery was made.
• 1980-1984 - UMEX focussed most of its drilling on Marchington Zone to delineate near surface resources for feed to its milling operations in Pickle Lake (most holes <100 m in length)
• 1995 - Noranda completed IP-mag over the Marchington Area and drilled three ~300 m holes east of the bulk of the Marchington drilling.
– Drilling discovered several isolated mineralized horizons that remain open and an off-hole conductor that has not be followed up.
• 2012 – Commander Resources completed a soil survey on the Property
No modern deep penetrating EM or detailed MAG has been flown.

SABIN WORK HISTORY

SABIN MAG INTERPRETATION
• Alteration and mineralization occurs within a regional anticlinal fold structure
• Mineralized zones appear to be fold duplicated and fold noses show significant structural thickening; these have not been targeted by drilling
SABIN VMS TARGETS
10
• Extensive Al-Si-Py footwall style alteration
• Four main target areas including the Marchington Zone
• Marchington drilled to <100 m depth, 350 m strike length and open along strike and to depth
• All zones under-explored; Kash (1 DDHs), S23 (6 DDHs) and Golsil(2 DDHs) only tested by widely spaced and shallow drilling
• Zones are low to moderate conductivity
11
MARCHINGTON ZONE
• Marchington Zone in a shallow plunging NE fold hinge; open to E and W
• Mineralized intercepts in holes at margins of drilling (SA-17 and SA-22)
• Structure not considered with historical drilling but key to mineralization
SA-15: 5.9 m @ 2.3% Zn, 0.3% Cu, 1.7% Pb, 57 g/t Ag
SA-69: 3.2 m @ 4.8% Zn, 4.3% Cu, 177 g/t Ag
SA-17: 2.3 m @ 1.3% Zn, 0.2% Cu, 14 g/t Ag
SA-22: 0.9 m @ 2.9% Zn, 0.9% Pb, 30 g/t Ag
12
MARCHINGTON AREA
• South Zone comprises several VMS horizons either stacked or fold duplicated
• South and Zinc Zones are open along strike and to depth
• Numerous drillholes with significant Zn-Cu-Ag mineralization not followed up
SA-50: 3.9 m @ 1.4% Zn, 3.1% Cu, 0.6% Pb, 97 g/t Ag
SA-52: 4.3 m @ 0.7% Zn, 0.2% Pb, 24 g/t Ag
SA95-1: 5.0 m @ 1.2% Zn, 0.9% Cu, 1.6% Pb, 177 g/t Ag
SA-42: 2.3 m @ 9.4% Zn, 0.1% Cu, 1.6% Pb, 30 g/t Ag
SA-53: 4.3 m @ 0.7% Zn, 0.2% Pb, 24 g/t Ag
SA95-1: 5.0 m @ 1.2% Zn, 0.9% Cu, 1.6% Pb, 43 g/t Ag

KASH-S23 ZONES• Kash conductor >2 km long
and alteration >3 km long
• Kash Zone tested by 1 DDH SA-43 (0.7 m of 4.0% Zn)
• S23 Zone tested by 6 DDH’s
• All S23 holes intercept mineralization including – 7.3 m @ 1.0% Zn, 0.8% Cu
– 0.3 m @ 1.6% Zn, 3.8% Cu
– 3.4 m @ 1.7% Zn, 0.8% Cu
• Alteration extends far beyond limits of drilling
SA-43: 0.7 m @ 4.0% Zn, 0.15% Cu, 1.4% Pb, 18 g/t Ag
SA-24: 7.3 m @ 1.0% Zn, 0.8% Cu, 18 g/t Ag
SA-32: 0.3 m @ 1.6% Zn, 3.8% Cu, 69 g/t Ag
SA-33: 3.4 m @ 1.7% Zn, 0.8% Cu, 22 g/t Ag
SABIN WORK PROGRAM
14
• Complete property wide structural mapping
• Conduct property wide whole rock sampling to define and quantify alteration zones
• Fly detailed airborne VTEM-Mag survey to further characterize bedrock, define deep and subtle conductors
• Drill test conductors, and extents of mineralized zones factoring in structural complexities.
