World Class Mining District
Monitor is located along the eastern extension of the Coeur d’Alene Mining District, which has produced +1.2 Billion ounces of Ag, 8.3 Million tons of Pb, 3.3 million tons of Zn, 207,000 tons of Cu and 529,000 ounces of Au. The Coeur d’Alene District is the second largest producer of silver in the world (Mauk and White, 2004) following Potosi in Bolivia.
Regional Geology
All significant ore deposits in the district lie within twelve well-defined, sub- parallel mineral belts, some are base metal rich, others contain more silver. The 8km long ‘Silver Belt’ is located south of the Osburn Fault and contains numerous Ag-rich mines, including the Crescent, Sunshine, Consolidated Silver, Coeur and Galena within a intercalated sediment package . The silver belt is flanked to the west by the Pb-Zn Bunker Hill Mine, and to the east where the veins are Cu-base metal rich. The recent increase in base metal prices has resulted in new exploration for the Cu-Au potential in the eastern veins. TRANSATLANTIC MINING - AN EMERGING METALS EXPLORER & DEVELOPER

History
The Monitor Mine was discovered in 1891 and mined until the Great Fire of 1910 which destroyed all the above ground infrastructure. Full production ceased after the fire of 1910 and the property remained dormant. In the late 1920s a 4000 foot crosscut drift was constructed to intersect the main Monitor Vein at a deeper level than the existing 700 foot Monitor Shaft. When the Great Depression hit everything stopped and again remained dormant and non-productive, until now.
Dimensions
Monitor Known Strike = 4,500 feet Known Depth = 1,800 feet Historic Widths = 10-30 feet
Copper Veins
The Monitor vein is considered the primary production target on the Monitor
Historical adits allow access to lower portions of the Monitor Vein as well as adjacent sub parallel structures. This access during construction will significantly reduce potential capital expenditure and mine development. TRANSATLANTIC MINING - AN EMERGING METALS EXPLORER & DEVELOPER
Located at the east end of the Couer d’Alene mining district, Monitor consists of four historical copper mines: Monitor, Richmond, St Lawrence & Copper Age.
Monitor’s average grade of historical reported
Copper produced was 15%Cu with highest reported grade 30.5%Cu
copper are: gold 7.2g/t & silver 22.5g/t
Richmond average grade of historically reported
Cu produced was 7.5% Cu
the copper are: gold 3-10g/t & silver + 30g/t
The predominant sulphide species is chalcopyrite
and pyrite

Surface Drilling
Transatlantic is planning a 10 hole surface exploration drill program ( approx 30,000 ft) and access to the Monitor adit. The surface drill program is designed to explore for sulphide ore shoots along strike and down plunge of the known high-grade veins. The drill program has been prepared and is now permitted. Drilling to commence in July 2015 quarter
Underground Exploration
Examination of the tunnel by Transatlantic geologists in 2013 indicates it is structurally sound 4000 feet from the current portal entrance . Rehabilitation of the underground workings will permit cost-effective exploration
resource, and expedite development to reserves. Transatlantic also plans an aggressive exploration program to develop and test
