gratuitous work during the Company’s formative stages and welcome Richard and Donald to the
Company. Moreover, we are delighted to join the Augusta Group of companies.
The Augusta Group has an unrivaled track record of creating value through exploration and development

merger of NewCastle Gold to form Equinox Gold in 2017; the sale of Augusta Resource for C$670 million
