About Engineer Gold Mines Ltd.

The Engineer Gold Project encompasses an area of 18,319 hectares and is currently subdivided into

three areas: the Engineer Gold Mine, Tag Property and Wann River.

Recent exploration has identified a small, high -grade historical gold mineral resource at the historical

underground Engineer Mine (see Company website for NI -43101 report), a small gold -silver historical

mineral resource on the Tag Property, numerous high -grade vein and shear -hosted bulk-tonnage gold

exploration targets and a small, high -grade gold production opportunity. Both the resources are

epithermal-style systems with additional epithermal targets evident on the Project, i ncluding the Happy

Sullivan. Wann River constitutes an orogenic gold target associated with the prolific Llewellyn fault, and

has returned significant gold silver results including a grab sample yielding 263 g/t gold and 1350 g/t silver

in 2010 from the Lum showing, one of the many local BC Minfile showings.
