The Company owns 100% of eleven, large, contiguous property blocks that comprise the Akie and Kechika
Regional projects. The Company’s flagship Akie Project is host to the Cardiac Creek deposit and remain s
the primary corporate focus. The Kechika Regional P roject includes the Pie, Yuen, Cirque East and Mt.
Alcock properties extending northwest from the Akie property for approximately 140 kilometres along th e

silver deposits in the Kechika Trough of northeaste rn British Columbia. These projects are located
approximately 260 kilometres north northwest of the town of Mackenzie, British Columbia, Canada. The
generative portfolio of Kechika Regional properties offer shareholders and interested exploration
companies high potential opportunities for new discoveries in the Kechika Trough.

The Pie, Yuen and Cirque East properties are the subject of an option agreement concluded on September
9, 2013 with Teck and its JV partner, Korea Zinc Co ., Ltd. ("Korea Zinc" KRX:KorZinc 010130). Under th e
terms of the option agreement, Teck and Korea Zinc can acquire up to a 70% interest in the Pie, Yuen and
Cirque East properties for $8.5 million of cumulative exploration expenditures.
Teck has incurred $3.0 million of exploration expenditures to the end of 2016 on the Pie Option Proper ties
using an integrated approach to exploration to decr ease risk and maximize the potential for discovery. In
accordance with the Option Agreement Teck and Korea Zinc must spend an additional $0.5 million by the
end of 2017 to exercise the “First Option” and earn an undivided 51% interest in the Pie Option Properties.
Upon exercising the First Option, Teck and Korea Zi nc would have an additional option (the "Second

regionally extensive Paleozoic Selwyn Basin, one of the most prolific sedimentary basins in the world for
the occurrence of SEDEX zinc-lead-silver and stratiform barite deposits.
Drilling on the Akie property by Canada Zinc Metals since 2005 has identified a significant body of ba ritic-
zinc-lead-silver SEDEX mineralisation known as the Cardiac Creek deposit. The deposit is hosted by
siliceous, carbonaceous, fine grained clastic rocks of the middle to late Devonian Gunsteel Formation.
