Yellowknife - One of Six High Grade Gold Camps in Canada

More Than 300M* Oz Gold have been mined from ArcheanGold deposits in Canada, with the vast majority from High Grade Gold Camps

Yellowknife is the most northerly and least explored of these camps

* Gold Ounces in Camps include known historical production, reserves and drill indicated resources from public

records. Totals should be considered approximate with an error range sufficient for comparison purposes. Other

large Archean gold areas include Detour/Sunday Lake; Rice Lake; Chibougamau; Meliadine; and Meadowbank
