The current diamond drilling program is testing under and adjacent to a mineralized zone exposed in a 2012
trench (Line 4W Trench). A one meter channel sample collected from this zone in 2012 was reported to
return 5.48% zinc and 1.08% lead. A qualified person has not verified this data as the sample location is no
longer evident in the trench. A qualified person has verified lead, zinc and copper sulfide mineralization in
stringers / veins in volcanic rocks within this approximately 25m long east-west trending trench. A boulder
sample collected during 2012 in an adjacent trench (Line 3W Trench) was reported to return 20.7% lead,
6.89% zinc, 2.04% copper and 122 grams / tonne (g/t) silver. A qualified person has not verified these
boulders / data as this trench has been reclaimed. The 2012 trenching was conducted by Great Atlantic.
