A Near-Term Development Opportunity

  • Dominant land package in the prolific Lac Dore (Chibougamau) camp
  • Excellent infrastructure (past permitted mill and tailings)
  • Numerous deposits with substantial upside:
  • Corner Bay – First drilling program successfully expanded ore resources by 97%
  • Cedar Bay – First drilling establishes maiden resource 1.9% Cu, 8.61g/t Au
  • Devlin Deposit – near surface deposit grading ~2.5% Cu
  • Dore Lake Ramp – high-grade gold/copper zone close to Copper Rand (mill)
  • Opportunity to further consolidate the camp through acquisition –

numerous prospective gold and base metal in area.

  • Unique Copper/Gold deposits that provide commodity diversification
  • Quebec is one of the world’s most favourable mining jurisdictions with

an attractive flow-through structure, experienced contractors and workers

  • AmAuCu to acquire up to an initial 80% interest through an earn-in

arrangement from Ocean Partners by spending $10 million over 5.5 years and then one payment of $5 million in subsequent 2 years. Ocean Partners will represent a significant development partner for future production and have 100% off take of Chibougamau production AuCu

Significant Resource Opportunity

Upside Potential

  • MI & I 43-101 resources 520 M lb Cu Eq, 1.2 M Oz Au Eq.
  • Corner Bay deposit increased by 93%. High grade maiden Resource

at Cedar Bay. Deposits are open in numerous directions.

  • Discovery cost of first drill program was 1.9 cts/lb Cu eq or $8 /oz Au

eq.

  • Camp has seen only limited exploration over the past several

decades and first drill program confirmed exploration potential.

  • Historic deposits with upside at depth and along strike

  • Cree Nation based in Ouje Bougamau. Experienced with mining and

natural resources. Currently discussing a pre-development agreement and eventually an IBA

  • Municipality of Chibougamau.
  • MERN - Closure plans to be developed for each deposit after mine restart

plans developed.

  • MDDELCC – Approval for small remediation projects obtained.
  • Plan Nord. Cooperation in development of mines
  • Societe Development du Baie James
  • SOQUEM: Partner on Tortigny property and neighbor in a few areas in the

Chibougamau Camp

  • Discussions with numerous other companies in the area
