Proven Team - Ability to perform and deliver

  • Decades of successful track-record in both the natural resources and the capital market
  • industries. Board and management have discovered, advanced and created value through

production and monetization of several projects. Among others:

  • Gran Colombia Gold – Largest gold producer in Colombia (E2018 production of 220k oz
  • f Au at AISC averaged of $888 oz/Au) and over 5.1M oz in resources
  • Bolivar Gold Corp - El Callao Mines, Venezuela - 10.7M oz grading 2.0 g/t in M+I

resources (inclusive P+P of 5.5M oz grading at 1.9g/t) – sold to Gold Fields for US$330M

Current Projects

  • Currently located in Nunavut, Canada - a low risk and mining-friendly jurisdiction
  • District scale land holdings (170km2) - 100% owned mineral claims along trend and

adjacent to Agnico Eagle’s Meadowbank producing gold mine, Amaruq gold deposit, Greyhound project and Auryn Resources’s Three Bluffs deposit

  • Fully Permitted and Drill ready
  • Land use (Class A) and Water use (Type B) permits received and in place
  • Already defined targets for follow up and drilling - several of these targets have yielded gold

values of up to 13.30 g/t Au and up to 44.7 g/t Ag during the 2017 and 2018 sampling

Corporate Strategy

  • Leverage on Board and Management’s broad and proven range of skills to increase the

project pipeline and to add long term value

  • Early-Stage - buy early and add value through the drill-bit
  • JV and/or acquisition of new assets with historic data
  • Treasury management - lid on the G&A expenses

Why Nunavut Western Atlas

Resources

  • Pro-mining jurisdictions and home to some world class mining projects
  • Over 12M oz/Au in P+P reserves, 14M oz/Au in M+I and 9M oz/Au in Inferred resources
  • Serviced year round - local infrastructure and labour
  • Baker Lake and the Rankin Inlet are a hub of mining activity in the region. Baker Lake provides summer shipping

access via Hudson Bay and year-round airport facilities. Agnico’s Meadowbank mine has a 110km all-weather road (which passes through Western Atlas’ Meadowbank claims), from Baker Lake to the Meadowbank mine site to Amaruq

  • Vast, highly perspective areas provide additional opportunities to add value through discovery

Meadowbank Project - Exploration Program Western Atlas

Resources

  • Exploration results suggest multiple conductors with kilometres strike length located within a

favourable Archaean greenstone belt geological environment with known iron formation hosted gold mineralization

  • Similar geological settings can be found at Agnico Eagle’s neighbouring Meadowbank producing gold

mine and Amaruq deposits

Meadowbank Project - Exploration Block B Western Atlas

Resources

  • Due to other gold discoveries in Meadowbank, the geological and structural framework as it relates to gold mineralization in

the area is well understood and generally associated with Banded Iron Formation (BIF) and shear zones, among others

  • Results of Block B’s field traverses and related mapping have allowed the Company to highlight geological formations such

as BIF and shear zones with a strike length in the order of kilometers

Block B, South Target

  • Over 15 Km BIF
  • Over 13 km Shear zones

Block B, North East Target

  • Over 3 Km BIF
  • Over 2 km Shear zones

Highlights from VTEM results

  • 1,500 line kilometres of surveying completed

in three survey areas (VTEM survey was carried out by Geotech Ltd.) over portions of the Meadowbank Blocks A, B and C

  • Aimed

at identifying bedrock conductive responses in areas that Western Atlas considers to be geologically permissive for gold mineralization

  • Numerous

strong electromagnetic (EM) anomalies were located in Blocks B and C

  • The strong EM double-peak anomalies are

related to bedrock conductors, i.e., BIF- related sulphides (including pyrrhotite possibly) - Electromagnetic anomaly picking (EM) and AIIP processing report (by Geotech Ltd) 11

  • In Block B, area B1, most of the EM anomalies are located in two parallel conductive trends, trending NE-SW (and

as isolated anomalies) corresponding with a stacked series of sub-vertical conductors

Meadowbank Project - IP Survey, Block B

Western Atlas Resources

Highlights from IP results

  • Multiple trends of conductors with a strike length ranging from 400 meters to 7.1 kilometers. Depth reach of the conductors

varies from 75 meter and to over 300 meters from surface

  • Numerous moderate to high chargeability anomalies coincident with and flanking VTEM anomalies
  • The surface projection of these anomalies coincides with areas mapped by Western Atlas
  • The underlain structures yielded highly anomalous gold values at points
  • The results of Grid 3 highlights two crosscutting chargeability trends within an intense magnetic corridor
  • These chargeability trends are formed by a dominant northeastern trend tracking the regional geological trend, and a

second east-westerly trend crossing the dominant trend in the southwest portion of the survey area
