the binding letter of intent with Baker Steel Resources Trust Limited (“BSRT”) announced on April 19, 2022.
BSRT has agreed, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals, to convert the US$3.5 million loan
between Azarga Metals and BSRT at a fixed C anadian dollar equivalent value of C$4.7 million , with a

Marg Project
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
Company’s planned 2022 exploration program. Drilling is expected to focus on the Marg deposit extensions
and the highly prospective Jane Zone, which has the potential for another Marg-style deposit. Mineralization
at the Marg project 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 deposit s and a full-
service contractor has been engaged to execute and oversee this plan.
