Kiyuk Lake - Investment Thesis
● A true district play with a claim package covering a majority of the sedimentary rocks of the
Proterozoic Kiyuk Group
● 13,200 meter drill database: 2008-2017
● Gold Showings over a 15 Km Strike Length
● Mineralization is associated with pyrrhotite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, and magnetite (+/- hematite).
● Mineralization occurs in breccia infill with actinolite, carbonate +/- albite and magnetite
● 2017 summer exploration program ($950,000) highlights:
○ Rusty Zone: 8m @ 26 g/t Au
○ East Gold Point: 64m @ 1.5 g/t Au and 122m @ 1.8 g/t Au
○ Identification of new prospect (Nansen) and West Rusty zone extension through results
from till sampling
● Significant Expansion Possible:
○ Four target areas not yet drill tested
○ Many parts of the known zones remain untested by drilling

Deposit Model
• Stacie Jones Masters Thesis on Rusty Mineralization (Defence winter 2017)
• Age of mineralization is unknown but likely related to Nueltin Intrusive suite (1.7Ga).
• Source and composition of hydrothermal fluids not known.
• Association with Po suggest relatively reduced conditions; unmineralized carbonates and carbonate alteration suggest non-acidic fluid; association with albite and scapolite suggest fluid had high salinity.
Most similar to Au-rich Fe-oxide associated deposits in Tennant Creek District of Australia which involve a
2 stage deposit model (early ironstone & late Au event)
Similarities to B2 Gold’s Otjikoto sediment-hosted Au deposit in Namibia (1.3 million oz gold) but little
public information available.

2018 Plans
Winter 2018 (March – May)
• Up to 4,500m of drilling focusing on expanding on the known mineralization at Rusty, Gold Point, Amundsen and new zones (Nansen)
• RAB drilling in Cobalt – Amundsen trend to narrow down large area of gold anomalism and to refine drill targets
• Detailed magnetics by UAV or ground over west Rusty, Nansen and Gold Point
• Ground EM over Rusty zone
32
Highlights
• Every drill campaign since 2011 has discovered at least one new gold zone:
2011 (Rusty 61m of 3.3 g/t, Gold Point 26m of 3.1 g/t)
2012 (Amundsen 42m of 1.0 g/t Au)
2013 (North Snake 6m of 1.33 g/t)
2017 (East Gold Point 64m of 1.5g/t)
• Significant expansion possible:
o Four target areas not yet drill tested
o Many parts of the known zones remain untested by drilling
• Drill Ready with fuel, drills and 35-man camp on site and ready for winter drilling
