Prior to 2021 Minnova Corp. has focused on the restart of its PL Gold Mine, which included
completion of a Positive Feasibility Study in 2018. The study concluded the restart of the PL Mine,
at an average annual production rate of 46,493 ounces over a minimum 5 -year mine life, was
economically robust. Importantly the global resource remains open to expansion, as does the
reserve. The PL Gold Mine benefits from a short pre-production timeline forecast at 15 months, a
valid underground mining permit (Environment Act 1207E), an existing 1,000 tpd processing plant,
over 7,000 meters of developed underground ramp to -135 metres depth. The project is fully road
accessible and close to existing mining infrastructure in the prolific Flin Flon Greenstone Belt of
Central Manitoba.
