The Bazooka East and West gold properties combine f or a total strike length of approximately seven

Break (“CLLB”). Opawica’s collective 100% ownership, subject to various underlying royalties, of these

properties will now be referred to as the Bazooka Gold Property (the “Property”).

To date only 800 metres of strike length has been t ested by limited shallow drilling and small mining

activities undertaken in the early 1950’s through a 115 metre deep shaft on the Bazooka Gold Property.

This outlines approximately six kilometres of untested strike length and the entire seven kilometres of the

Bazooka Gold Property is open to depth for gold exploration.

The eastern border of Opawica’s Bazooka Gold Proper ty adjoins Yorbeau Resources Inc.’s (“Yorbeau”)

Rouyn Property that is currently under option for K inross Gold Corporation (“Kinross”) to purchase a

100% interest for consideration that includes C$12 million in certain exploration expenditures and a

single cash payment of US$25,000,000, plus 2% of th e prevailing gold price multiplied by the number of

ounces in measured, indicated and inferred resource s identified in a resource estimate to be completed on

the Rouyn Property (see Yorbeau press release dated October 25, 2016). In addition, the western borde r

of the Bazooka Gold Property adjoins Richmont Mines Inc.’s Wasamac gold property (~3 million ozs Au

resources).

All of these properties are within 10 kilometres of the Rouyn-Noranda mining camp and are located on, or

near, the CLLB. The 220 kilometre length of the CL LB, and areas in general proximity thereto, between

Matachewan, Ontario to Val D’Or, Quebec have yielded over 125 million ounces of gold from production

and existing gold resources.
