Pierre Vaillancourt Mike Kozak
RECOMMENDATION / TARGET PRICE
Buy C$1.00 / share Buy C$1.10 / share
Resource Potential “In our view, HRT is “pricing in” a resource estimate of ~2 MMoz, which we believe is a very conservative “base case”. As all three zones continue to expand… we believe the share price will reach much higher levels”. Project Economics “Based on our expectations for the upcoming technical report and mine plan, as well as our long-term outlook for the Sugar Zone deposit, the project has strong economics”.

Exploration Upside “We think key geological features related to high grade indicate the potential for expansion
- f existing deposits and point to the discovery
- f multiple deposits”.

EXPLORATION – ACHIEVEMENTS
WELL DRILLED, OPEN ON STRIKE AND AT DEPTH
- Sugar Zone
► Open along strike and down dip ► Higher grade than originally expected
- Middle Zone
► 500 meters north of the Sugar Zone and beginning
200 meters below surface
► Expanded to 400 meters on strike and 800 meters
down dip
► Recent drilling indicates wider and higher grade
intersections at depth and potential convergence with Sugar Zone
- Wolf Zone
► Mineralization defined to a depth of 150 meters,
similar characteristics to the Sugar Zone
► Discovery hole 9.5 g/t Au over 7.5 meters, with high-
grade core of 22.9 g/t Au over 3 meters

AIRBORNE MAGNETICS AND ZONES
DISCOVERY OF FOUR NEW ZONES
- Lynx Zone
► On strike, characteristics similar to current mineralized
zones
► High grades recovered from grab sampling ► IP survey currently underway, drill program to follow
- Moose Zone
► Host rock similar to Barrick’s Hemlo Mine
- Marten Zone
► Also similar to the Hemlo Mine rock mineralization ► Geophysics, soil sampling planned for the summer
- Fisher Zone
► Initial drilling10 meters of anomalous gold grades in a
mineralized system similar to the Sugar Zone
► Located 800 meters north of the Wolf Zone and on
strike

EXPLORATION - REGIONAL UPSIDE
DISTRICT SCALE POTENTIAL
- Land package – 80,000 Ha
(200,000 acres)
- Regional staking to cover
continuations of Greenstone belt
- Airborne Geophysical survey
including MAG & VTEM
- Pending completion of the
Airborne survey:
► Ground IP survey ► Geochemical and field mapping ► Drill test new targets
- Compilation of historical data
identifies numerous target areas
