will follow up on surface result s highlighted by 5 metres at 10.3 gram per tonne (g/t) gold and 168 g/t silver at

the Verde discovery. The new discoveries we have made at both Unga in Alaska and Cumaro in Mexico have set

the company up for a catalyst rich end to this year and an aggressive 2022. “
