be used b y the Alliance members, and progressively issued in any future ITO, using the models and associated

Comments by Greg Hahn, CEO and President of Arizona Silver Exploration Inc
“I believe the ability to sell a sset-backed tokens will open up new funding opportunities for companies with significant
resources in the ground, and allow them to advance those projects to development and production while minimizing
dilution to shareholders”.
Comments by David Vincent, CEO of Canamex Gold Corp
“The Alliance seeks to utilize innovative gold and/or silver royalty stream funding models, for gold and/or silver asset
backed crypto -tokens, trading and clearing on the Ethereum blockchain, for the purposes of funding gold and si lver
exploration and mine development, for the Alliance members. Interest in the blockchain technology, for secondary
market trading and clearing is growing. For example, the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) has recently unveiled
plans to develop Canada’s first platform for clearing and settling securities using blockchain technology”.

Comments by Peter Berdusco, CEO and President of Guyana Goldstrike Inc
“Guyana Goldstrike is extremely pleased to be a part of the Ethereum Alliance. It potentially provides the company with
a new method of funding via an exciting and rapidly emerging crypto -token market. Given the fact that our Marudi
Gold Project has an established mining license and recently announced mineral resource estim ate, the timing couldn’t
be more ideal. The Alliance gives us the opportunity to further advance the project in a manner that may minimize
shareholder dilution and maximize exposure to new investors in this growing marketplace.”
Comments by Michael Bennett, CEO and President Altamira Gold Corp
“Altamira is extremely happy to be a founding member of this alliance, a brilliant initiative which lends well to the
future financing for the most advanced of our projects, the Cajueiro Project. Financing of this na ture with a crypto-token
offering backed by gold, will facilitate acceleration of start -up on potential future mining operations and strengthen
junior resource companies by reducing dilution.”
Comments by Alan Carter, CEO of Cabral Gold Inc
“We are excited to be part of this initiative which offers the potential for a new and exciting means of funding junior
resource companies such as ours. This innovative approach has the potential of mitigating the effect of dilution for early
stage start up resource comp anies, and provides investors with a unique crypto -token offering backed by gold and/or
silver”.
Resignation of Director
Additionally, the Company announces the resignation of Ronald Shorr as a director of the Company effective
immediately. The Company wishes to thank Mr. Shorr for his service as a member of the Company’s board of directors
and wishes him the best in his future endeavors.
