PEA Cautionary Note:
Readers are cautioned that the PEA is preliminary in nature and there is no certainty that the PEA
results will be realized. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated
economic viability. Additional work is needed to upgrade these mineral resources to mineral
reserves.
"With an after-tax Internal Rate of Return in excess of 90%, today's excellent PEA results confirm
that the La Fortuna Project provides a robust base for the next phase of gold production in the
Company's growth pipeline," commented
Darren Koningen
, Chief Executive Officer. "The simplified
gold recovery process outlined in the study represents a conservative starting point that is well
suited to the initial project resource which, to date, has been based exclusively on previously drilled
mineralization. As our engineering work progresses we continue to find opportunities to reduce the
initial project capital requirements and improve overall project economics. Coupled with our strategic
partnership with Osisko Gold Royalties that includes an option to provide a significant portion of the
project capital requirements in return for a Project royalty, these additional optimizations will greatly
reduce the upfront funding requirements of this already low capital cost operation."
"This PEA represents a key milestone for the Company as we begin to deliver to the market's
attention the underlying project economics of our development pipeline that focuses on cost-efficient
and targeted production that can incrementally build a significant production profile over time,"
commented
Doug Ramshaw
, President. "With the recently submitted commercial permit applications
at the Santana project and ongoing work at the Company's Guadalupe de los Reyes project we are
aggressively expanding our activities on multiple fronts. We continue to envision a plan whereby
targeted production from the development of the Santana project will support the modest capital
requirements of the
La Fortuna
operation."

Notes:
1.
"Ore Sorting" as used in the context of Table 4 is a commercial term referring to sensor-based rock sorting technology and is not related to project resources/reserves.
Ore sorting equipment is implemented in Year 3 for upgrading of mid-grade stockpiles
2.
"Mineralized Material" represents mined material in excess of 0.8 g/t Au cut-off (includes direct milling material + stockpiled material to be upgraded via ore sorting prior to
milling)
Mineral Resources
This PEA is based on a new mineral resource estimate prepared for the
La Fortuna
project by Scott
Zelligan, P.Geo., as part of the current report. The mineral resource estimate is based on the
results from 125 core drill holes completed to date on the project. Wireframes were prepared using
the drill hole information combined with geological interpretations of the deposit and validated
through observations and sampling of accessible historical underground openings. Further details
related to the current mineral resource estimate are presented in a later section. The table below
outlines the total base case Mineral Resources, including those that were not included as part of the
PEA mine plan

Notes:
1.
The effective date for this mineral resource estimate for La Fortuna project is July 13, 2018. All material tonnes and metal values are undiluted.
2.
Mineral Resources are calculated assuming a cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t Au, which is considered reasonable and consistent for this type of deposit with open pit mining
methods.
3.
Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by
environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.
4.
The mineral resources presented here were estimated using a block model with a parent block size of 5 m by 5 m by 5 m sub-blocked to a minimum block size of 0.6 m
by 0.6 m by 0.6 m using ID3 methods for grade estimation as this method best represented the grade distribution in the sample data.
5.
Due to the geometry of the deposit and the nature of the grade distribution, the estimation was divided between the upper and lower portions of the mineralized volume
with search parameters optimized for each portion.
6.
Individual composite assays were capped at the following values according to histogram/probability and decile analyses – 30 g/t gold, 60 g/t silver, 1% copper
7.
A density of 2.65 t/m
3
was chosen for the tonnage estimate. Data available from dry bulk density studies indicated an average density of 2.72 t/m
3
for mineralized
material, while the quartz monzonite material had an average density of 2.61 t/m
3
. The value of 2.65 was chosen by averaging the two then rounding down to the
nearest 0.05 interval to be conservative
8.
The mineral resources presented here were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and
Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council May 10, 2014.
9.
The mineral resource estimate was prepared by Scott Zelligan, B.Sc., P.Geo., and independent resource geologist of Coldwater, Ontario.
10.
Gold price is US$1,250/ounce, silver price is US$16/ounce, and copper price is US$5,725/tonne.
11.
The number of metric tonnes is rounded to the nearest hundred. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects.
Mining
The mineralization at the Project extends close to surface and is amenable to conventional open pit
mining methods utilizing front-end loaders and trucks. Using a preliminary Whittle pit shell for the
deposit (
$1,250
/oz gold,
$2.50
/t mining,
$30.00
/t processing, 95% recovery, 45-degree pit slopes)
as a guide a full open pit mine plan was completed. LOM mineralized material was separated in
grade baskets (+0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0 g/t Au) so that a more complete engineering cost evaluation could
be completed and used as the basis of a final five-year production plan for the project. Mineralized
material was grouped as Direct Milling (>1.6 g/t Au) and Mid-Grade (0.8 – 1.6 g/t Au) which is to be
stockpiled and upgraded via ore sorting prior to milling (starting Year 3). No inferred resources
were utilized in the PEA mine planning and further optimization efforts aimed at cut-off grades and
the smoothing of waste mining activities may provide additional economic upside for the project.

Notes:
1.
Mill Feed totals include direct milling material (1,626,000 tonnes) and mid-grade stockpiled material upgraded starting in Year 3 via crushed ore sorting (372,400 tonnes).
2.
Mine dilution applied as follows – 10% for direct milling material (dilution grade equivalent to average grade of next lower mine grade basket) and 25% for low-grade
material to stockpile (0.5 g/t Au dilution grade
3.
Total mined material values include all production from open pit mine (mineralization + waste) for noted intervals.
Pit bench heights were selected at
5m
intervals in order to provide good ore/waste selectivity
although use of larger bench heights in zones of primarily waste should be considered as part of
future optimization studies. Overall average pit slopes with the benches/ramps in place are
approximately 43 degrees for three sides and 41 degrees overall for the north wall. Rock
competency is reasonable and higher pit slopes may be considered once the appropriate
geotechnical information is available. Mineralized and waste materials are hauled using 25t trucks
approximately
500m
(maximum) to the waste dumps/mineral stockpile locations near the mine.
Crushed stockpile material is then transported to the plant processing facilities located at a distance
less than 1.5km.
All drilling/mining/crushing operations at the Project will be accomplished via an open pit mining
contractor. Mining costs were developed for the project from first principals utilizing recent Mexican
cost information. Contractor availability in northern
Mexico
is currently high and rates are
competitive. An appropriate profit factor was applied to the calculated owner operator rates and the
values were benchmarked against recent operational experience by
Minera Alamos
mining
personnel. An additional factor was applied to account for the fact that the project is located a few
hours from a major population base. Mine planning and supervision activities will be performed by
Minera Alamos
personnel and these costs are excluded from contractor rates.
Processing
A simplified base case process was utilized for the
La Fortuna
plant site. Mineralized material from
the mine is stockpiled and crushed to a size of <3/4" prior to being transported to the process plant.
The overall processing facilities consist of a primary coarse grind to 80% passing 250-300 microns
followed by a bulk sulphide concentrate flotation. Bulk concentrate is reground (80 microns) prior to
a final flotation producing a copper concentrate. Centrifugal gravity gold recovery circuits are
included in both the primary and concentrate reground circuits to extract free gold as a concentrate.
Tailings from the flotation circuit are dewatered via filtration and dry-stacked in the tailings
containment area adjacent to the processing plant.
Overall gold recovery for the PEA study has been conservatively estimated at 90%. No final gold
refining facilities are to be constructed at the Fortuna site although this decision can be revisited in
the future should site production rates increase. Approximately half of the gold is extracted as a
gravity concentrate which will be cyanide leached at site and loaded onto activated carbon for
shipping outside of
Mexico
for final doré production. The other half of the recovered gold reports to
the copper flotation concentrate (along with the majority of the copper and silver) which is filtered
and transported to the port facilities at
Guaymas
(approximately 500 km) for final sale.
The Company has purchased a used 2000 tpd processing facility (grinding/flotation/filtration) that
has been used as the basis for the Fortuna project processing facilities. The size of the major
equipment items allows for plant throughput to be increased from the currently assumed 1100 tpd
rate as the size of the project resource increases.
DEXTR (x-ray) ore sorting has been included in the overall project plans as a method to upgrade
mid-grade (0.8-2.0 g/t Au) mineralized material from the mine (and future potential project
resources). Testwork has demonstrated that sorting of this material at normal project crush sizes
can recover +80% of the contained gold into a sorted concentrate with gold contents similar to the
high grade (3.5 – 4.0 g/t Au) direct milling material from the mine. It is conservatively assumed that
an ore sorting machine will be purchased and installed in Year 3 of mining operations to upgrade this
material. In the current operations plan only 20% of the LOM contained gold ounces sent to the
processing plant have been upgraded in this manner.

Infrastructure
Access
The
La Fortuna
project is accessible by road from
Culiacan
(
Sinaloa
state capital – population
approx. 1MM), a driving distance of approximately 85 kilometers. At present the road is paved to
within approximately 30 km of the town El Barco which is situated at the river immediately south of
the project area. The remaining road is graveled, graded and of reasonable width for much of the
route. It has been anticipated that some relatively minor upgrading of portions of this road (primarily
in areas with a sharp turning radius) will be required in order to improve access for larger trucks to
reach the Fortuna project area.
Preliminary engineering has been completed to locate new access roads within the project area
required for start of the
La Fortuna
operations. This includes a total of approximately 5 km of gravel
surface suitable for the operation of mining trucks.
Road from planned open pit to new processing plant area – 1.5 km
Initial mine truck access roads around planned open pit – 2 km
Miscellaneous additional access roads around mine/plant -- 1.5 km
Power
The closest small villages to the Project site (El Barco and
San Fernando
) have less than 100
inhabitants and are currently not serviced via the national power grid. Grid power is being extended
along the state highway from
Culiacan
as it is widened and paved (currently within 30km of the
project) but it is unknown when it will ultimately be available and what load capacity would exist.
It is assumed for the foreseeable future that all power required for the Project will be generated at
site via diesel generators. The total operating plant power load is estimated at approximately 2MW
which will be supplied via multiple generator units (operating + standby) to build in redundancy for
maintenance, etc. Primary generators are to be located within close proximity to the processing
plant area so site power line requirements will be negligible. Wherever possible, large power
consumers not associated with the processing plant (i.e. portable crushers) are self-contained with
local diesel hydraulic/electric generation. Small auxiliary generators will be utilized as necessary for
minor requirements (i.e. plant camp/offices).
At current fuel prices in
Mexico
power generation via diesel equipment is equivalent to an electric
power cost of
$0.25
-0.30/kWh which has been used for budgeting. Should grid power eventually
arrive at the project area, power costs for the project would be reduced by 50% or more.
Water Management
The Humaya river flows roughly northwest-southeast approximately
500m
from the planned
La
Fortuna
processing plant area. This river has a year-round supply of flowing surface water and
discussions with the relevant permitting authorities have indicated that the project would be permitted
to extract river water directly for process uses. In addition, a seasonal creek bed that runs east-
west and connects with the Humaya river is located a few hundred meters south of the plant site.
Hydrogeological studies are underway to establish optimal sources of groundwater that would also
be suitable for the project's requirements.
Based on local observations, it is expected that river/ground water levels occur at the 250-
300m
elevation (above sea level). Water would be pumped from this elevation the short distance to the
plant site which is located just above
500m
(above sea level). Process water removed from the
plant filtered tailings will be recycled as much as possible in order to minimize fresh process water
make-up requirements.
Permitting Status
The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for mining projects in
Mexico
starts with an application
for the following primary permitting documents:
MIA - Manifestación de Impacto Ambiental (Environmental Impact Statement)
ETJ - Estudio Tecnico Justificativo (Technical Justification Study) that includes the ER -
Estudio
de Riesgo
(Risk Study) and PPA - Programa de Prevención de Accidentes (Accident
Prevention Program)
Following the completion of the EIA process a number of other registrations and local/state permits
are required before the start of commercial production. Important among these are water rights
through the Comisión de Agua (National Water Commission or CONAGUA), permits for the storage
and use of explosives as well as construction permits from the local municipality.
The MIA-ETJ permit applications were submitted by
Minera Alamos
for the
La Fortuna
project in
2018 and are pending. The submitted permitting documents included an expanded scope of
processing facilities that included additional stages not required for the current start-up plan (i.e.
concentrate cyanidation and detoxification). This provides the company with added flexibility in the
future to modify the existing operation in order to accommodate new potential regional sources of
mineralization.
The Company does not currently own any surface rights in the
La Fortuna
area. The surface rights
over the area are held jointly by the residents of the Tabahueto ejido (a Mexican agricultural
cooperative). In 2016 the Company started the discussions with the local ejido regarding the
necessary surface rights for the development of the
La Fortuna
project. On
February 16
th
, 2017 at
a general meeting the community voted unanimously to enter into a 25-year agreement to rent 235
Ha of surface area required by the Company (agreement signed formally in
June 2017
).

Project Opportunities
The PEA identifies several project opportunities to further enhance project economics. These
include:
Footprint of the current known deposit is very small compared to the overall land position.
Exploration potential exists over the 6200 Ha land package. A number of other areas of
historical mining activities have been identified but most of the area has never been explored
using modern exploration methods.
No Inferred resources have been utilized in the current mining plans. Further step out drilling
may be able to define additional extensions of the current resources.
Further metallurgical test work to optimize the gold extraction process and further improve
overall metal recoveries.
A staged plant construction plan (possibly involving earlier use of ore sorting) to further reduce
the initial start-up CAPEX and then expand the facilities once production is underway.
Additional mine planning optimization studies to evaluate opportunities to delay portions of early
waste removal until later in the mine life
Further optimization studies are underway to determine if a more aggressive use of ore sorting
may offer additional economic benefits for the project (i.e. plant CAPEX reductions, increased
mineable gold ounces, etc.)
Trade-off studies aimed at optimizing cut-off grades (w/wo ore sorting) and the incorporation of
additional milling capacity – the project is permitted for a 2,000 tpd operation with the PEA
based on a starting rate of 1,100 tpd.
