Forward Looking Statements
This document contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively, "forward- looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein including, without limitation, statements regarding the anticipated content, commencement, anticipated exploration program results, the timing of exploration due to restrictions related to the COVID-19 outbreak, whether future exploration results are similar to those documented from historical work and the anticipated business plans and timing of future activities of the Company, are forward- looking statements. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as: believe, expect, anticipate, intend, estimate, postulate and similar expressions, or are those, which, by their nature, refer to future events. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements by the Company are not guarantees of future results or performance, and that actual results may differ materially from those in forward looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, the state of the financial markets for the Company's equity securities, the state of the commodity markets generally, variations in the nature, quality and quantity of any mineral deposits that may be located, variations in the market price of any mineral products the Company may produce or plan to produce, the inability of the Company to obtain any necessary permits, consents or authorizations required, including TSXV acceptance, for its planned activities, the inability of the Company to produce minerals from its properties successfully or profitably, to continue its projected growth, to raise the necessary capital or to be fully able to implement its business strategies, and other risks and uncertainties. All of the Company's Canadian public disclosure filings may be accessed via www.sedar.com and readers are urged to review these materials, including the technical reports filed with respect to the Company's mineral properties. This document contains information with respect to adjacent or similar mineral properties in the Chibougamau District in respect of which the Company has no interest or rights to explore or mine. Readers are cautioned that the Company has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in any such properties, and that mineral deposits, and the results of any mining thereof, on adjacent or similar properties, are not indicative of mineral deposits on the Company's properties or any potential exploitation thereof. Qualified Person John Langton, M.Sc., P. Geo., owner of JPL Geoservices, is the Qualified Person under NI 43-101 on standards of disclosure for mineral projects.

MUUS PROJECT - HISTORICAL CONTEXT
➢ Muus was explored 1950’s to 1980’s; Fancamp mostly drilled 1950’s to 1990’s; Nisk and Muus East remain mostly unexplored. ➢ Previous work includes 343 core holes; shallow and wide-space → Anomalous assays were generally not followed-up
RECENT BLUE THUNDER EXPLORATION
➢ In 2017 Blue Thunder acquired Muus (12,000 ha); currently grown to ~51,000 ha through staking and low cost option agreements. ➢ Exploration on Blue Thunder claims includes:
- Aeromagnetic survey in early 2019 (covering the original Muus block (50-100 m
spaced flight lines)
- Helicopter aeromagnetic survey (50-250 m spaced flight lines) in late 2019
covering the newly acquired ground at Muus, as well the Muus East and Nisk properties
- Regional prospecting/sampling and a trenching/sampling program at the
prospective Welb Showing The recent Nelligan1 and Monster Lake1 discoveries highlight the prospectivity of this gold district

2020 Exploration Program – Priority I Target Areas
➢ Target Area 1: Focus will be on the Fancamp A and B-Zones, where high-grade gold intervals have been returned from historic drilling and surface channel sampling ➢ Target Area 2: Covers ≈17 km segment of the Guercheville Deformation Zone (“GDZ”) along the west-northwest trending sediment-volcanic contact extending from the Nelligan gold deposit (3.2M inferred ounces) ➢ Target Area 3: Occurs at the cross-roads of the Fancamp and the Guercheville Deformation Zones - two major regional structural corridors and prime setting for classic Abitibi style lode gold deposits
14
Phase I : Evaluation of Target Areas 1, 2 & 3 (underway) ➢ Regional prospecting and mapping ➢ Excavator-based trenching and channel sampling ➢ Detailed geological mapping and sampling ➢ Geochemical sampling ➢ Results to be integrated into the database to optimize drill targets ahead of Phase 2 drilling
2020 Exploration Program
Phase 2 : Further Evaluation of Target Areas 1, 2 & 3 (summer/fall) ➢ ~50 line kilometres of IP/resistivity ➢ 4,000 to 4,500 metres of core drilling (18-20 holes)

Target Area 1: Fancamp Zones-A and B
➢ Historical drilling mainly prior to the 1990’s (105 core holes), often using very narrow diameter drill core and to limited vertical depths (<100m) ➢ Numerous high-grade intercepts averaging 4 g/t to 20 g/t gold over widths ranging from less than 1m to more than 6m ➢ 2-6 subparallel veins, each <1 m to 6 m wide, separated by 15 to 30 m ➢ Many veins only intersected by a few drill holes – open in most directions ➢ Plunging shoots at both the A and B-Zones – open at depth 2020 Exploration Plan: ➢ Excavator-based trenching and channel sampling (on-going) ➢ Prospecting and sampling (on-going) ➢ Approximately 14 core holes (3,200 m) to test down-plunge and along strike potential of A and B-Zones, as well as C, D and E-Zones (summer/fall, pending drill permitting)

Exploration for Target Areas 2 and 3: Muus Property
Exploration Plan: ➢ Exploration will include regional prospecting and mapping, trenching, geophysics over selected targets (IP/resistivity) with the aim to delineate targets for diamond drilling later this fall. ➢ Approximately 2-3 drill holes (600 meters) are proposed for each of Target Area 2 and 3, pending permitting.

Nelligan Maiden Resource Announced October 2019
(75% IAMGOLD, 25% Vanstar)
Inferred Resource: 97Mt @ 1.0 g/t Au = 3.2Moz Au
(currently deposit is ~1 km along strike and open in most directions)
October 22, 2019 IAMGOLD Corporation News Release
Mineralization at Nelligan is Not Typical of the Abitibi
➢ Gold hosted in ductile-deformed sedimentary units within the Druillette syncline and associated with the Guercheville Deformation Zone. ➢ Pervasive alteration and replacement, with disseminated mineralization (rather than veins); this style of mineralization is not common locally.
DISTRICT ACTIVITY
NEW DISCOVERY AT NELLIGAN → Game-Changing Discovery
Note that mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative
- f mineralization hosted on the Company's property

Another Nelligan to be Found?
➢ The Nelligan host sedimentary units and structural fabrics strike WNW towards the Muus Property; Muus and Nelligan have similar underlying geology and setting. ➢ Regional and local structures and deformation zones are common to both Muus and Nelligan.
