Yellowknife ‐ One of Six High Grade Gold Camps in Canada

More Than 300M* Oz Gold have been mined from Archean Gold 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

FOCUS ON THE

‘CORE GOLD AREA’• Approximately 1800 surface samples have

been taken by TerraX in 2013 & 2014o Close to 20% >1g/t Au, up to 1205g/t Au

• Other metals in various locationso Highs up to >500g/t Ag o Multi percent Pb, Zn, Cu, Mo

• Exploration in 2013 and 2014 defined a 5km x 3km “Core Area” of gold mineralization

• Core Area contains:o Barney Shear (extension of Con & Giant) o Crestaurum Deposito Shear 20 as well as several other high

grade veins/shear zones that have assays as high as 549, 712 and 878 g/t Au

• Collectively, the shears and veins could be indicative of gold bearing vein sets common to large mineralized systems

• 2015 Exploration Drilling will be concentrated in this area
