About EnGold

EnGold is focused on finding and developing mining operations at its 100% owned mineral property

located near the town of Lac La Hache in BC’s prolific Cariboo mining region. EnGold’s corporate

philosophy rests on three interdependent pillars: Environment, Engagement and Gold. Through

sound environmental stewardship, commitment to transparent engagement with local communities,

the Company is dedicated to driving exceptional shareholder and stakeholder value by discovering

and developing mineral resources.

About the Lac La Hache Property

The advanced stage property lies within BC’s Quesnel Trough mineral belt, which hosts several past

and currently producing copper/gold/silver mines, including nearby Imperial Metals’ Mount Polley

copper-gold mine and New Gold Inc.’s New Afton copper-gold mine. The Company has drilled

numerous prospects on the property, including Spout copper-magnetite-gold-silver deposit (for which

a resource calculation has been reported and supported by an NI43-101 Technical Report), the gold-

rich Aurizon gold-copper-silver prospect and recent new discoveries with porphyry and skarn

copper/gold potential. EnGold is currently focused on evaluation of its Aurizon Gold (gold-copper-

sliver) prospect, where drilling continues to extend the host structure and gold-rich grades, and on

the new copper-magnetite-gold-silver discovery. Supported by significant local infrastructure

including powerlines, all season road access, rail and other amenities, the Lac La Hache project

demonstrates excellent logistics for resource extraction.
