Slide 4: Alaska is low risk: Under-explored TIER 1 geology in a TIER 1 jurisdiction
Alaska is low risk: Under-explored TIER 1 geology in a TIER 1 jurisdiction ➢ TIER 1 geology with 6 current mines, all world class ➢ Several new world class deposits in permitting and feasibility study phase ➢ Over 40Moz Au mined to date ➢ Considerably under-explored compared to other TIER 1 province
Slide 5: Superb geology in an under-explored world class province
Superb geology in an under-explored world class province ➢ LOW RISK - existing high-grade JORC resources with MARS upside: ➢ Zackly Skarn 3.4Mt @ 1.2% Cu, 2.0g/t Au, 14.0g/t Ag ➢ Caribou Dome 2.8Mt @ 3.1% Cu ➢ GOAL 1: Potential for rapid resource expansion at Zackly ➢ Low exploration risk due to mag

Slide 9: Zackly – existing resource is high grade Cu-Au-Ag, open at depth
Zackly – existing resource is high grade Cu-Au-Ag, open at depth ➢ Sub-vertical, suitable for underground mining methods ➢ Copper mineralization dominated by high-tenor bornite and chalcocite which may yield a high grade concentrate ➢ Coarse-grained, free-milling gold present ➢ Metallurgical studies
Slide 10: Zackly – rapid growth potential to the east
Zackly – rapid growth potential to the east ➢ Change in orientation across fold hinge, visible in the magnetic data ➢ Thick, shallow, gently dipping mineralization – open pit potential ➢ Clear potential to rapidly expand resource through further drilling Overturned fold, thickening in hinge 10
Slide 11: Saturn porphyry Cu-Au target
Saturn porphyry Cu-Au target ➢ New (blind) target generated from re-processing regional magnetic data ➢ Recent high-resolution aeromagnetic data validates target ➢ Multiple lines of evidence to support porphyry target: ➢ Interpreted to comprise a cluster of oxidized intrusions ➢ Surrounded by a zone
