Southern Quebec. The Company’s flagship property is the St-Simon-les-Mines Gold project site of Canada’s first gold rush
which pre-dates the Yukon Klondike. The Beauce region hosted some of the largest historical placer gold mines in Eastern
North America that were active from 1860s to the 1960s It produced the largest gold nuggets in Canadian mining history (50oz
to 71oz)
Comprising 152 contiguous claims and 7 real estate lots, the project area contains a six kilometer long placer channel
consisting of an unconsolidated gold-bearing auriferous units of a lower saprolite and an upper brown diamictite. The Company
has calculated a Gold Exploration Target for the entire historical placer channel ranges between 61,000 ounces (2,200,000 m3
@ 0.87g Au/m3) and 366,000 ounces* (2,200,000 m3 @ 5.22 g Au/m3). Source: Beauce July 4 th 2018[43-101 Report.

suggests the erosion of the Fault Line as a probable source of the historical placer gold channel.
