Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always identified by words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “estimates”, “potential”, “possible” and similar expressions, or statements that events, conditions or results “will”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur or be achieved. The forward-looking statements may include statements regarding exploration results and budgets, mineral resource estimates, work programs, capital expenditures, timelines, strategic plans, market price of commodities or other statements that are not statement of fact. Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Company may differ materially from those reflected in forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, and the Company does not assume any

  • bligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions should

change except as required by law. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward- looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include uncertainties involved in disputes and litigation, fluctuations in commodity prices and currency exchange rates; uncertainties relating to interpretation of drill results and the geology, continuity and grade of deposits; uncertainty of estimates of capital and operating costs, recovery rates, production estimates and economic return; the need for cooperation

  • f government agencies and native groups in the exploration and development of properties and the issuance of required

permits; the need to obtain additional financing to develop properties and uncertainty as to the availability and terms of future financing; the possibility of delay in exploration or development programs or in construction projects and uncertainty in meeting anticipated program milestones; uncertainty as to timely availability of permits and other government approvals and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in other information released by the Company from time to time and filed with the appropriate regulatory agencies. 2

Bonaparte Gold Project - Overview

Largely unexplored ground covers 2,461 hectares (6,081 acres) near Kamloops, BC Owned 100% by WestKam Gold High-grade drill intersections for gold High-grade gold results in historic bulk sampling

Bonaparte Property – The History

1990s – 3,425-ton bulk sample from one of over 13 identified vein systems averaged 25.4g Au/ton (0.74 oz/ton) 2010 – Small bulk sample collected from underground workings on Crow

  • vein. Ore shipped to Kinross Mill in Republic, Washington. Recovered

gold sold for $145,783 (364.61 tons @ 0.475 oz/ton, 93% recovery). 2010 – “#20” Vein plus three new veins encountered in decline; WKG exercises option to earn 75% 2013 – BCGS report on porphyry potential, successful IP geophysics 2013 – WKG acquires additional 17% , brings Bonaparte ownership to 92% 2014 – Exploration advances 2013 discoveries; WKG purchases 100% 2015 – Fall diamond drilling follows up on 2014 results. New vein discovered,

  • pening up large target area called “Cooler Creek Zone.”

2016 – Underground access to sample extension to Discovery Zone 2018 – Drilling reinforces extensions to Discovery Zone, supports 2019 program

Historic Diamond Drill Intersections Include:

Additional information from drilling indicates a minimum 200 meter extension in width to the regional structure. More veins expected to lie within the extension.

2015 Exploration – New Vein Discovery

Fall drill campaign discovered new vein in DDH-15-05, located 450 metres east of Discovery Zone. Assayed 7.88 g/t Gold, (0.253 oz/t Gold), 38.4 g/t Silver, 0.33% Copper and 28.6 g/t Tellurium over 1.0 meters. Within an anomalous IP resistivity, chargeability and Au/Cu geochemical trend which extends 1.2 kms to the south-southeast-

  • pen both northward and southward.

First known drilling conducted outside of the Discovery Zone.
