Cautionary Note

2

The Company advises that the following presentation includes forward looking statements and contains information that is based upon a NI-43-101 Inferred Resource, and a Conceptual Exploration Target for the Bayhorse Mine.

The terms “probable tonnages”, “orebody”, “probable ore” and “ore” are measurement categories other than those required to be used for Canadian securities reporting purposes and do not satisfy the CIM definitions for mineral resources or mineral reserves. The terms “probable tonnages”, “ore”, “orebody” and/or “probable ore” etc. would constitute mineralized material under Canadian securities reporting requirements.

The Company is not basing any decision to produce on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability and advises there is an increased uncertainty and specific economic and technical risk of failure with any production decision. These risks include, but are not limited to: (i) a drop in price of commodities produced, namely silver, copper, lead and zinc, from the pricing used to make a production decision; (ii) failure of grades of the produced material to fall within the parameters used to make the production decision; (iii) an increase in mining costs due to changes within the mine during development and mining procedures; and (iv) metallurgical recovery changes that cannot be anticipated at the time of production.

All statements herein, other than statements of historical fact, including, without limitation, plans for and intentions with respect to the Company’s capitalization, preparation of technical reports, proposed work programs, budgets and proposed expenditures,permitting, construction and production timing are forward looking statements. While the Company believes such statements arereasonable, no assurance can be given that any expectations will prove to be correct and the forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results or performance and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance upon forward-looking statements and, except as required under applicable securities law, the Company undertakes no obligation to re-issue or update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or events after the date hereof. All forward-looking statements and information herein are qualified by this cautionary statement.

Silver to Gold Ratio –Mean Reversion

Over the past year, the silver to gold ratio has reached an unprecedented 131 oz silver to 1 oz gold. Over the past 30 years, the ratio imbalance between silver and gold has only once spent this length of time above 90:1. It has now corrected to under 70:1 and the best projection, 40:1, can happen anytime, and quickly, with an accompanying significant increase in the price of silver.

Brandywine High Grade Gold/Silver/VMS Project

Brandywine Gold Silver Volcanogenic Massive SulphideProject in British Columbia, Canada

➢ The Brandywine deposit falls within a class of high gold-silver volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits and complements the Bayhorse Silver Mine by providing a gold rich future mining target.

➢ This family of deposits, that include the Eskay Creek deposit of northern British Columbia; the Green’s Creek deposit on Admiralty Island near Juneau, Alaska; the Bawdwin deposit in Myanmar; and the Rosebery deposit of Tasmania, is particularly silver and lead rich with important gold, zinc, copper values.

➢ The Brandywine Project lies 14 Km south of Whistler BC, Canada. Historical smelter shipments from prior mining are:

➢A 50-ton bulk sample in 1967 grading 83.1 g/t gold, 354 g/t silver, 9.9% lead, 7.4% zinc, 0.30% copper to East Helena , Montana, smelter from the Silver Tunnel and Main Zone (Melling, 1994, Walus 2011)
