• Mineral reserves of 173,000 ounces with estimated annual production of 41,000 ounces over the mine life.

• A conservative analysis was used for the estimation of the resources and the conversion of resources to reserves As the project advances underground re-conversion of resources to reserves. As the project advances underground, reinterpretation may lead to better grade, additional resources, and additional reserves.

• This study only looks at the WPZ; additional upside is possible with further
