The Company owns 100% of the high-grade copper -rich VMS Marg project within the Keno Hill Silver

District of the Yukon Territory. As previously announced, the Company is reviewing and re-interpreting the

historic VTEM database of the airborne geophysical program to be used to refine the drill targets for the

at the Marg proj ect remains open along strike, down- dip and down plunge and drilling will be aimed at

defining 14 to 15 million tonnes of mineralized material.

Planning for t he 2022 exploration program has commenced. The program will begin with rebuilding the

exploration camp and mobilizing equipment in June, drilling from July to September and disseminating drill

results as available from September to November. An experienced geologist in VMS deposits and a full -

service contractor has been engaged to execute and oversee this plan.
