previously announced (see February 15, 2022, announcement) intersection of silicified breccia host through the
Main Zone, a core twin of RC hole JES -20-32 which returned 94.6 meters of 1.6 g/t Au, including 9.2 meters of
10.8 g/t Au and 38 g/t Ag. Five (5) metallurgical samples for column leach study have been submitted for analysis
by SGS and a strategic partner. Results for metallurgy are expected to be available in Q2 2022. 2021 bottle roll
studies returned over 90% recovery of gold after a 48-hour retention time.

About the 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 94.6m @ 1.6 g/t Au, including 9.2m @ 10.8 g/t Au and 38 g/t Ag;
o 41.2m @ 1.1 g/t Au, including 3.1m @ 6.0g/t Au and 12 g/t Ag ;
o 24.4m @ 2.5 g/t Au and 73 g/t Ag, including 1.5m @ 33.4 g/t Au and 1,090 g/t Ag
• 17,700m of Historic Core & RC drilling. Highlights include:
o 61.0m @ 0.8 g/t Au
o 16.5m @ 53.5g/t Au and 53 g/t Ag
o 13.0m @ 9.6 g/t Au
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.
