The Point Leamington Project, consisting of Mining Lease 136 (2655), is located in central Newfoundland approximately 37km
by road/trails from the City of Grand Falls-Windsor and approximately 20km from the provincial power grid. Callinex prepared a
pit constrained Indicated Mineral Resource of 5.0 Mt grading 2.5 g/t AuEq for 402 koz AuEq (145.7 koz gold, 60.0 Mlb copper,
153.5 Mlb zinc, 2.0 Moz silver, 1.5 Mlb lead), a pit constrained Inferred Mineral Resource of 13.7 Mt grading 2.24 g/t AuEq for
986.5 koz AuEq (354.8 koz gold, 110.2 Mlb copper, 527.3 Mlb zinc, 6.2 Moz silver, 7.0 Mlb lead) and an out-of-pit Inferred
Mineral Resource of 1.7 Mt grading 3.06 g/t AuEq for 168.5 koz AuEq (65.4 koz gold, 13.3 Mlb copper, 102.9 Mlb zinc, 1.4
Moz Ag, 2.6 Mlb lead) (see news release dated October 25, 2021).
The Deposit is a large, felsic-hosted VMS deposit that dips 70 degrees to the west, has a strike length of 500m, and a
maximum thickness of 85m. Massive sulphides have been intercepted to a depth of 360m below surface in 21,714m of drilling
in 72 drill holes. Regional government mapping and lithogeochemical sampling has indicated that Point Leamington’s host
volcanic stratigraphy extends well beyond the vicinity of the Deposit.
