About the Sonora Portfolio

Pilar Property

The Pilar Gold -Silver property is interpreted as a structurally controlled low -sulphidation epithermal project hosted in

andesite rocks. Three zones of mineralization have been identified in the north -west part of the property from historic

surface work and drilling and are referred to as the Main Zone, North Hill and 4 -Trench. Structural features and zones of

mineralization within the structures follow an overall NW-SE trend of mineralization. Over 22,700 m of drilling have been

completed to date. Significant results are highlighted below:

• 2021 Phase II RC Drilling Highlights include (all lengths are drilled thicknesses):

o 39.7m @ 0.96 g/t Au, including 1.5m @ 14. g/t Au;

o 47.7m @ 0.70 g/t Au including 3m @ 5.6 g/t Au and 22 g/t Ag;

o 29m @ 0.71g/t Au;

o 35.1m @ 0.66 g/t Au

• 2020 Phase I RC Drilling Highlights include (all lengths are drilled thicknesses):

o 9.0m @ 10.2 g/t Au and 46 g/t Ag

Soil and Rock sampling results from undrilled areas indicate mineralization extends towards the southeast from the

Main Zone and 4-Trench Zone. Recent Surface exploration has defined three new target areas: Triple Vein Zone, SE

Vein Zone and 4 Trench Extension.
