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

Benefits of Historical Exploration$M Saved, Accelerated Project Timeline

Previous core storage Giant Mine Core Yard~200 YCG Drill Holes Recovered

• TerraX has compiled +450 historical drill

logs (1938-96) – data was recovered by

NWT Geoscience Office from Giant Mine

• Core from ~200 drill holes recovered by

TerraX from Giant core yard, logging and

sampling by TerraX included 5.0m @

62.90g/t Au and 20.86m @ 3.79g/t Au

• >250 drill collar locations have been

identified and surveyed by TerraX – we

have accurately located the ‘good’ holes

• TerraX has identified and sampled

dozens of gold mineralized trenches

• Project moved years ahead of schedule,

and savings of $M

FOCUS ON THE

‘CORE GOLD AREA’

• Approximately 1800 surface samples have

been taken by TerraX in 2013 & 2014

o Close to 20% >1g/t Au, up to 1205g/t Au

• Other metals in various locations

o 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 Deposit

o Shear 20 as well as several other high

grade veins/shear zones that have

assays as high as 549, 712 and 878 g/tAu

• 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
