Pilbara PlaybookExecutive Summary

Conclusion: It remains early days in the Pilbara gold rush (only 6 months in), but our recent site visits suggest there continues to be the potential for one or more world class discoveries in the Pilbara. In our view, the preferred way to play this exciting theme are:• Novo Resources Corp. (TSXV:NVO, C$4.34, C$634M) – the most advanced by a meaningful

margin and best funded company in the area is taking the right steps to advance towards discovery

• De Grey Mining Ltd. (ASX:DEG , A$0.16, A$52M) – the second most advanced project, with its traditional hard rock assets underpinning its value providing investors a low cost option on conglomerate success

• NxGold Ltd. (TSXV:NXN, C$0.18, C$10) – a late entrant into this gold rush, but quickly advancing its Mt. Roe project which appears to be one of the richest areas from a prospector perspective providing positive read through to its conglomerate potential

Upcoming Catalysts:With the weather cooling in the Pilbara, field work is likely to pick up on all conglomerate gold projects, particularly those that are at an early stage. For our preferred companies, the next important catalysts are: • Novo – First results from the larger 5 tonne bulk samples are expected in April – likely to be

positive for Novo and the other players in the space.• De Grey – Receipt of heritage clearance and the start of large scale mechanical trenching.• NxGold – Completion of the ongoing mapping, heritage clearance and the start of trenching.

Conglomerate Gold in the PilbaraWhat we know today – Part 1

Over an almost two week period we visited 5 conglomerate gold projects and a conglomerate gold conference. These are the key findings from our trip:

• Very Early Days – On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being an interesting property, 10 being a mineable resource), Novo the most advanced project in the area is likely a 3 (most others are essentially between 0 and 1). It has only been 6 months since the “discovery”, and Novo is aggressively exploring which makes it very early days, particularly when you take into account the rarity of this deposit style.

Figure 1: Map of the Pilbara Craton with known gold-bearing conglomerate

• Big Scale Potential – Currently, nugget discoveries with associated conglomerates span an area of +300km by +150km (Figure 1), suggesting a massive gold system once existed but is now partially eroded. We believe there are sufficient large enough pieces of the gold hosted conglomerate remaining to deliver one or more world class discoveries; however, a lot more work is needed to prove us right.

Conglomerate Gold in the PilbaraWhat we know today – Part 2

• Novo is Back on Track – A key challenge for this style of deposit is the ability to demonstrate a resource over a meaningful area. We believe Novo is back on the path of delivering a resource over a small area, which they hope to translate to the large scale. Novo is also blazing a trail for others in the area and its success is expected to drive others share price.

• Each Deposit is Likely to be Unique – With these deposits being spread over hundreds of kilometers, the expectation is that each is likely to be similar but have unique characteristics. As well, Novo believes that these deposits are near-shore marine alluvial deposits (Figure 2), it is expected that the deposits characteristics are likely to change as you move closer to or further away from the historic shore.

Conglomerate Gold in the PilbaraWhat we know today – Part 3

• Similar to the Wits but not Really – The conclusion of the Pilbara conference we attended was that while this is a conglomerate gold deposit, of a similar age to Witwatersrand (Figure 3) with similar potential scale. The markers and style of mineralization appear to differ materially. While it is early days in the Pilbara, the history of the Wits may not provide Pilbara explorers the guidance they were hoping for.

• Experts are Playing Catch-up – The conference we attended had presentations by a number of geologic and mining experts (conglomerate gold, sedimentology, government, processing, etc.) and they are learning about these projects for the first time while trying to catch-up on this unique style of mineralization in a new place.

The PlaybookWhat we are looking for

Based on our site visits and the recent conference, these are the key themes that we are looking for when evaluating companies with conglomerate gold in the Pilbara.

1. Big Cheque Book or Another Asset to Underpin Valuation – At this early stage, conglomerate exploration is both expensive and the methodology is still being developed. The only player with the deep pockets to develop the methodology is Novo. For everyone else, they are at least one step behind and learning from Novo, we would like to see another asset in the portfolio that supports the company’s valuation.

2. Gold and Conglomerates Already Identified on the Property – There are a lot of companies that claim to be Pilbara conglomerate gold plays; however, much of the ground has been staked based on historic wide-scale mapping. In our view, the project has to have sufficient work completed that both conglomerates and gold have been identified on the property.

3. A Credible Plan to Move Ahead – As traditional sampling methods can provide inconsistent data, the company needs to have a plan to advance the project. First step is mapping and soil sampling, along with metal detecting, which should identify conglomerates and gold, and likely followed by systematic trenching to determine the gold-bearing conglomerate horizons and understand the stratigraphy. This is likely to be followed by bulk-sampling and drilling for structure as Novo is doing. We note that this is not the only way to advance a project, but appears to be working based on the activity to date.

Our Preferred PlayersBased on What We Know Today

Based on our site visits and the recent conference, these are the three key names that we like based on the work to date and the next steps planned by each company:

1. The Technical & Financial Leader – Novo Resources (TSXV:NVO, C$634 Market Cap, C$4.34/share) is currently leading the space with the largest land package of 12,000 sq. km across the Pilbara. As the first company to identify the conglomerate gold potential, Novo has been leading the Pilbara gold rush as the most technically advanced team backed by a strong shareholder base with a cash balance of C$72M to fund its exploration plans.

2. One Step Behind with Hardrock Assets to Underpin – De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG, A$52 Market Cap, A$0.16/share) is right behind Novo in the race to explore conglomerate gold in the Pilbara. De Grey has a sizeable land package with a hard rock asset that has already demonstrated economic potential in a Scoping Study released in 2017. Based on the study, we see the asset worth ~A$50-75M, which underpins De Grey’s current valuation providing investors a low-cost option on the conglomerates.

3. An Impressive Newcomer – NxGold (TSXV:NXN, C$10 Market Cap, C$0.18/share) is led by a management team that has already discovered a world class asset through NexGen Energy and has a credible plan to do so again by aggressively exploring the Pilbara Region. Field teams have already discovered conglomerate-hosted gold at surface demonstrating the significant prospectivity at the Mt. Roe project.

Valuation• We believe Beatons Creek is worth between C$1.00-1.30/sh – see slide 17• Karratha is reasonably worth between C$3.25-16.25/sh – see slide 16• This gives us a value between C$4.70-17.90/sh (incl C$0.45/sh in cash) – suggesting upside to the

current share price C$4.34Conclusion• Novo is the Pilbara conglomerate gold leader, and while it has the most value associated with

conglomerate gold in its share price, because of its liquidity, market cap and balance sheet is likely the “lowest-risk” way to play this theme

Novo Resources Corp. (TSXV:NVO)The Technical & Financial Leader

Our View• Novo continues to be the leader in this space• From our site visit to Comet Well and Purdy’s Reward,

we came away with two key findings:1. Back on track to demonstrate the scale potential

of these deposits2. Our view that Comet Well and Purdy’s Reward has

+10M oz potential remains intact• From our site visit to Beatons Creek, we also came

away with two key findings:1. Grade appears to be understated – work

underway to prove otherwise – a 25% increase in grade increases estimated value by ~50%

2. Confirmed our estimated value for this asset of between ~C$150-200M

Novo Resources Corp. (TSXV:NVO)The Technical & Financial Leader

First Mover Advantage• Novo was the first to identify the conglomerate

gold potential and have staked and acquired as much land as they could , which is now covers 12,000 sq. km across the Pilbara (Figure 6)

• This advantage has resulted in Novo being the best funded (currently C$72M in cash) and most technically advanced player in the region positioning them to be the leader in the space –as goes Novo, so goes the space

First Mover Disadvantage• With this being a new discovery, with a

technically challenging deposit style, Novo is blazing a trail for the other players, with most patiently waiting for Novo to determine best practices with its much stronger balance sheet

• We would note, that to date Novo has been relatively open with other companies, but this may not continue over the long-term

Novo Resources Corp. (TSXV:NVO)Karratha Gold Project – Progress to Date

• Gold-bearing conglomerate at Karratha occurs at the base of the Fortescue Group below basalt flows and interbedded with sandstone horizons

• Based on the work to date, this is believed to be a Marine Lag environment (Figure 2) with gold being deposited during specific periods

• At Purdy’s Reward (50/50 JV with Artemis):• Gold was identified only in the basal conglomerate only (~1m in width) with an average grade

of 14.7 g/t Au based on all the bulk samples released (~300kg bulk samples)• Outside of a halo around the nuggets, no fine gold component was identified

• Two key learnings surfaced from this work1. Sampling methodology needed to change – larger scale trenches (see Figure 9 & 11)2. Sample size needed to increase from ~300kg to ~5 tonnes (see Figure 8 & 10)

• Comet Well (80% Interest):• Gold has been identified in two conglomerate sequences – one that appears to be older and

higher energy with a higher conglomerate sequence to the gold-bearing conglomerate at Purdy’s

• 60 of the larger samples are planned for Comet Well over the next few months• First 5-tonne sample results expected in April• It is unknown if there is a fine gold component in this newly discovered gold bearing

conglomerate

Novo Resources Corp. (TSXV:NVO)How Big Could Karratha be?

There are a large number of unknowns with respect to this deposit making it difficult to determine the scale, here we talk about some of the known items and present sensitivity to the unknowns.Assumptions:• Specific Gravity: 2.8 t/m3• Strike Length: ~8km (1.5km Purdy’s Reward, 6.5km Comet Well)• Width before it dips under the Mt. Roe Basalt: ~800 m• Continuity: ~75% - it is unlikely that the deposit is continuously mineralized over the entire volume, so

an estimate needs to be made

Key Variables:• Grade – results from smaller

samples vary from 0.03 g/t to 87.8 g/t with an average of 14.7 g/t

• Thickness – thickness of mineralized zone has varied from 0.5m to 5m but wider is possible

Conclusion:• 10-25M oz discovery

appears possible• Based on data to date likely

mid-grade (10-15 g/t) and narrower (1-5m)

Novo Resources Corp. (TSXV:NVO)What’s Karratha worth?

• In our view, ounces in the ground at Karratha should trade at premium to peers ($42/oz):• A flat lying, near surface deposit, near a sealed road and in one of the best jurisdictions in the

world suggests a premium is warranted• Recall that Novo has 80% of Comet Well and 50% of Purdy’s Reward resulting in ~74% of the

deposit size being attributable to the company

• Using C$50-100/oz, as a benchmark, accounting for premium nature of ounces found at Karratha and the risk of this early stage• Based on 10M oz (attributable) – potentially value is C$500M-1.0B or C$3.25-6.50/share• Based on 25M oz (attributable) – potentially value is C$1.25-2.5B or C$8.10-16.25/share

• Working backwards the market cap of C$634M is pricing in 7.2-8.2M oz at C$50/oz or 3.6-4.1M oz at C$100/oz after removing Beatons Creek and current cash

Novo Resources Corp. (TSXV:NVO)Beatons Creek

A quality asset with near-term development potential• Project was sidelined as momentum built in Karratha

and limited human resources were focused there; however, it continues to provide a supporting value for Novo.

• Our preliminary value for Beatons Creek is a post-tax NAV of ~C$150-200 million based on its near surface resource, this translates to ~C$1.00-1.30/share

• Grade upside exists as it appears the bulk sample results may have understated the deposit grade, which already suggested the resource model understates grade by ~45-50%• Novo is completing a series 2 tonne bulk

samples at Beatons Creek to better define grade• For every 25% increase in grade, our estimated

value increases by 50%.

De Grey Mining Ltd (ASX:DEG)One Step Behind with Hardrock Assets to Underpin

Our View• De Grey has done the most work outside of Novo

on its conglomerate targets and pending a heritage survey (expected in Q2/18) plans to start systematic stripping and sampling – recent soil sampling results have been encouraging

• Has a hard rock asset that underpins the current value and a conglomerate based resource would be additive to economics – existing project is not dependent on it and consequently does not need the sampling rigor that is being applied at Novo

Valuation• We believe the hardrock portion is worth between

A$0.15-0.23/sh – see slide 21• Based on the current share price of A$0.16,

investors are getting a low-cost option on the conglomerates

Conclusion• We believe that at its current value De Grey may be at an attractive entry point particularly as

news flow heats up from both its own projects and Novo’s.

De Grey Mining Ltd (ASX:DEG)The Pilbara Gold Project – Conglomerate Gold Targets

Conglomerate gold targets within trucking distance of proposed plant (Figure 18)• Louden Patch: 91 gold nuggets

discovered at target with a fine grained gold halo similar to Novo’sPurdy’s Reward ~130km away

• Jarret and Steel Well: 3 gold nuggets discovered

• Visible gold panned from streams draining all 3 targets, further confirms the conglomerate gold style of mineralization at all target

• Importantly, a discovery is additive to the near-term production story

Next steps:• Once the heritage survey is

complete, systematic trenching and sampling to follow

• Potential to be followed by diamond drilling for structure

De Grey Mining Ltd (ASX:DEG)The Pilbara Gold Project – Hardrock Asset Underpins Value

Hardrock targets underpin current value• The company’s focus has been primarily on

advancing its structural hosted gold deposits which have a recently updated resource (Figure 21) and scoping study

• We believe these traditional assets are worth between A$50-75M, which accounts for the remaining property payment, giving a per share value of A$0.15-0.23/sh (current share price A$0.16)

• We note that our estimated value excludes a likely mine-life extension or exploration upside

• Next step is a pre-feasibility study, expected later this year on the hardrock assets

NxGold Ltd. (TSXV:NXN)Mt. Roe Project

Our View:• Strong management - founded by team behind NexGen Energy (TSXV:NXE)• Conglomerate-hosted gold discovered at surface and has a credible plan to advance the assets• Mt. Roe located close to Novo’s Karratha Gold Project (Figure 23) – appears to have well-above average

prospectivity• Other exploration stage assets, the ~60,000ha Chicobi Project in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec and

the 4,174ha Kuulu Project in Nunavut provide underpinning value

Valuation:• In our opinion the current C$10M market cap could be justified by any of its existing projects and probably

materially understate its Pilbara assets, where similar stage peers trade at 2-4x its current value

Conclusion:• While a late entrant, its our preferred early stage company in the space because of its top-notch

management team, good plan and the projects prospectivity

NxGold Ltd. (TSXV:NXN)Mt. Roe Project – Gold Endowment Appears Impressive

Our Site Visit Suggests this Could be One of the More Prospective Projects• A smaller land package at 1,232ha but an estimated 5km

of continuous strike length of gold-bearing conglomerate• Conglomerate-hosted gold discovered at surface with

nuggets revealing similar characteristics to Comet Well & Purdy’s Reward

• Our discussion with prospectors who have worked the area and our visit to site, suggests this could be one of the more prospective projects

• The company has recently completed an extensive mapping program (results pending) and is working towards large scale trenching once a heritage survey is completed (H2 2018)

Kairos Minerals Ltd (ASX:KAI)Croydon Project

Our View – We consider this 115,800ha project with 22km of strike to be modestly advanced but perspective based on initial results. However, there is no road access, increasing exploration costs and the next round of work is pending a native title agreement. We would note that Eric Sprottis a significant investor.

Valuation – current market cap puts it in line with other conglomerate peers and other assets do not appear to provide much supporting value

Conclusion – one too watch but would wait for the next round of work to start

Our View – the property covers ~25km of Mt Roe basalts in the southern portion of the basin. Initial work has demonstrated significant potential, including a slightly different style of mineralization and finer gold component than we have seen in other parts of the basin. Management has taken its initial steps and plans to follow-up.

Valuation – current market cap puts it at a slight discount to other conglomerate peers; but does not account for its attractive zinc, lithium assets or A$4 million in cash

Conclusion – an interesting entry point, particularly based on the company’s initial results

Artemis Resources Ltd. (ASX:ARV)The Pilbara Gold Project

Our View• Artemis is Novo’s 50/50 JV partner at Purdy’s

Reward and is benefiting from the work Novo is doing there

• Radio Hill mill appears to need significant work to be serviceable for conglomerates and its main value is the permitted tailings facilities but there is limited available capacity

• The company’s plans for its 100% owned assets appears to be focused on alluvial gold, not conglomerates

• Company plans to drill a +3km hole in the deeper portions of the basin, targeting both base metals and conglomerates at depth – we do not see this as a potential game changer

Valuation• Company’s portion of Purdy’s Reward based on our estimates is worth between A$0.075-0.30/sh• Cash balance of A$15.3M is worth ~A$0.023/shConclusion• With the company not in control of its own destiny at Purdy’s Reward (its most valuable asset) and

a questionable exploration strategy, we prefer other Pilbara players over Artemis
