we selected the right partner to develop one of the best undeveloped silver projects in the U.S. We look forward to
their progress and our ability to focus on the development of Eastside, our flagship gold-oxide project in Nevada.
Allegiant now has four projects farmed out, three of which are expected to be drilled over the coming month in

ABOUT MOGOLLON
The Property consists of 81 patented mining claims and 86 unpatented lode mining claims located in Catron County,
New Mexico. The patented claims are surrounded by lands administered by the United States Forest Service.
Seventy-one of the patented claims are leased under two separate agreements. Sixty-four of the unpatented claims
are leased under one agreement. The remaining patented and unpatented claims are 100% owned by Allegiant.
ABOUT SUMMA SILVER CORP
Summa Silver Corp is a Canadian junior mineral exploration company. Summa has the option to earn a 100% interest
in the Hughes property located in central Nevada. The Hughes property is host to the high-grade past-producing
Belmont Mine, one of the most prolific silver producers in the United States between 1903 and 1929. The mine has
remained inactive since commercial production ceased in 1929 due to heavily depressed metal prices and little to no
modern exploration work has ever been completed.
ABOUT ALLEGIANT
Allegiant owns 100% of 10 highly-prospective gold projects in the United States, 7 of which are located in the
mining-friendly jurisdiction of Nevada. Three of Allegiant’s projects are farmed-out, providing for cost reductions
and cash-flow. Allegiant’s flagship, district-scale Eastside project hosts a large and expanding gold resource and is
located in an area of excellent infrastructure. Preliminary metallurgical testing indicates that both oxide and sulphide
gold mineralization at Eastside is amenable to heap leaching.
