Nunavut – Open for New Discoveries Western Atlas Resources

q Pro-mining jurisdictions and home to world class mining projectsq Over 12 million oz/Au in P+P reserves, 15 million oz/Au in M+I and 9 million oz/Au in Inferred resourcesq Serviced year round - local infrastructure and labour availability

• Baker Lake and Rankin Inlet are a hub of mining activity in the region. Baker Lake provides summer shipping accessvia Hudson Bay and year-round airport facilities.

• Agnico’s 110km all-weather road from Baker Lake to Amaruq passes through Western Atlas’ Meadowbank mineralareas

q Western Atlas’ vast, highly perspective areas provide additional opportunities to add value through discovery

Meadowbank Project – Exploration Program Western Atlas Resources

q The geological and structural framework as it relates to gold mineralization in the area is well understood and generallyassociated with Banded Iron Formation (BIF) and Shear Zones

q Exploration results suggest multiple targets with kilometres strike length located within a favourable Archean greenstone beltgeological environment with known iron formation and shear zones hosted gold mineralization

q Similar geological settings can be found at Agnico Eagle’s neighbouring Meadowbank producing gold mine and Amaruqdeposits

Meadowbank project - Nunavut• District scale mineral claims holding - 580 km2 of highly prospective mineral claims• Strategically located - immediately adjacent to Agnico Eagle’s Meadowbank

producing gold mine, Amaruq gold deposit and Greyhound project• Fully Permitted and Drill Ready• Block B’s geological formations such as BIF and shear zones with a strike length in

the order of kilometers• Similar geological settings can be found at Agnico Eagle’s neighbouring

Meadowbank producing gold mine and Amaruq deposits

Building a project pipeline• Leverage on a broad range of business experience and technical skills in order to

build a project pipeline capable of providing long term value• Elimination of seasonality - year-round exploration and results• JV and acquisition of new assets with historic data or early-stage projects with

value-added through the drill-bit• Operating in low-political risk and pro-mining jurisdictions

Proven ability to perform and deliver value• Directors and management with decades of successful track-record in both the

natural resources and the capital market industries• Value created through the development and monetization of several projects

Highlights from VTEM results• 1,500 line kilometres of surveying completed

over portions of the Meadowbank Blocks A, Band C (VTEM survey was carried out byGeotech Ltd.)

• Aimed at identifying bedrock conductiveresponses in areas that Western Atlasconsiders to be geologically permissive forgold mineralization

• Numerous strong electromagnetic (EM)anomalies were located in Blocks B and C

• The strong EM double-peak anomalies arerelated to bedrock conductors, i.e., BIF-related sulphides - including pyrrhotitepossibly (*)

Meadowbank Project - Block B, IP Survey Western Atlas Resources

Highlights from IP results• Multiple trends of conductors with a strike length ranging from 400 meters to 7.1 kilometers. Depth reach of the conductors

varies from 75 meter and to over 300 meters from surface• Numerous moderate to high chargeability anomalies coincident with and flanking VTEM anomalies

• The surface projection of these anomalies coincides with areas mapped by Western Atlas• The underlain structures yielded highly anomalous gold values at points• The results of Grid 3 highlights two crosscutting chargeability trends within an intense magnetic corridor• These chargeability trends are formed by a dominant northeastern trend tracking the regional geological trend, and a

second east-westerly trend crossing the dominant trend in the southwest portion of the survey area
