The 2017 exploration program will initially focus on the Fondaway Canyon property where
management’s initial review recognized significant potential to expand the resource along strike

detailed field mapping to identify the most prospective areas for resource additions followed by
an exploration drilling program in the fall.
The evaluation and exploration of the other properties in the portfolio will be undertaken
following completion of the Fondaway Canyon exploration program.
