New Research to Boost Interest in Historical Kootenay-Boundary District Mining Region

September 27, 2018

A new geological map and data released by Geoscience BC today is the latest in a series of research projects to encourage mineral exploration in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary in southern

British Columbia.

The 1:50,000 scale Geology of the Greenwood Map Area (NTS 082E/02), Boundary District, Southern British Columbia map provides an updated understanding of the relationships between different rock

types and their ages around Greenwood, where there has been significant gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc mining since the late 1880s.

Geoscience BC Vice-President of Minerals and Mining Bruce Madu said: "This new research funded by Geoscience BC should bolster the recent revival of mineral exploration activity in the Greenwood area."

Highway 3 runs along the southern edge of the 800 km2 area covered by the Greenwood map, passing through towns founded on mining such as Grand Forks, Greenwood, Midway and Rock Creek. With 26 'past producing' mines in the Greenwood area, and more than 38 tonnes (1.2 million ounces) of gold

and over 270,000 tonnes of copper mined in the area to date*, the new map will improve understandings of the geology that hosts deposits, and where development might be appropriate in the

future.

Project lead Trygve Höy said: "Greenwood is one of BC's larger mining areas. This map provides data and information about new opportunities as well as existing deposits, knowing that new approaches

could make them viable targets again."

The new research combines field mapping by Trygve Höy and rock dating by the University of British Columbia to untangle the complex relationships between rock types and when mineral deposits were

formed in the project area.

It is hoped that the research will also provide clues to how and when other deposits have formed across British Columbia. "This area could hold the key to a better understanding of mineral deposits that

formed during key geological events that span almost 200 million years," said Madu.

All data and maps from the new research are publicly available, with the aim of encouraging exploration, economic activity and informed land use decisions.

Currie Rose Resources Inc. Surface sample Results. October 2, 2018

Currie Rose Resources Inc. is pleased to provide shareholders with the results of recently sampled outcrop and historic mine dump (grab) material from the Rossland Gold Project (the “Project”) located

in central southern British Columbia.

Highlights:

A total of 18 samples were collected from 7 locations within the northern section of the Rossland Gold Project (Table 1);

Two Samples (rock chip) from the Eleanor Prospect, returned 130.5g/t Au, 5.8g/t Ag 4720ppm Cobalt confirming previous historic sampling;

Two rock chip samples from the Novelty Claim returned 15.8g/t and 4.04g/t gold confirming previous historic sampling;

All 6 grab samples from the recently acquired former Crown Claim “Cons. St Elmo” returned significant copper results between 2.23% - 5.73% with associated gold between 0.45g/t and 1.38g/t and silver

between 71.6g/t and >100g/t.

A total of 18 samples (Table 1) were collected from 7 locations within the northern section of the Rossland Gold Project. Eleven of the samples were collected from historic mining dumps (grab samples) and seven samples were rock chip samples of known surface mineralisation. Note that grab samples are selected samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.

The assay results in Table 1 show, high-grade gold, high-grade silver, high-grade copper, high-grade cobalt with high sulphide and arsenic. Significant molybdenum was also confirmed in the north-west

part of the package at “Golden Queen” and anomalous tungsten was also reported from “Con St Elmo”.

Michael Griffiths, Currie’s President and CEO, commented;

“We are very encouraged by these results which have confirmed historic sample results, bringing greater confidence to our approach. The copper results from “Con. St Elmo” were completely

unexpected but further highlight the potential mineral endowment of the project. This preliminary information has added to the historic

gold mining records from previously mined areas (outside out current permits) and we now look

forward to drilling these areas to provide confirmation.”

The Rossland Gold Project is situated 10km from the Trail Zinc Smelter in south-central British Columbia. The Rossland Mining Camp produced more than 2.7 million ounces of gold, 3.5 million

ounces of silver and 71 tonnes of copper between 1894 and 1941 and ranks as the third largest lode gold camp in British Columbia.

October 2018 Page 6 of 17

MINING: GOOD NEIGHBOUR AND PROVIDER TO THE WORLD WWW.CMEBC.COM

The Rossland gold camp is situated in the south western part of the Kootenay Arc and locally consists of a sequence carbonaceous siltstone, quartzite and slates of the Mt Roberts Formation which

unconformably overlie Lower Jurassic volcanic flows and tuffs of the Rossland Formation (Little 1982). Contemporaneous with the volcanism noted above were intrusive augite porphyry sills and these rocks have been further intruded by the Rossland monzonite and Nelson plutonic suite rocks that are closely

associated with the ore deposits in the area. Major structural features include an east-west set of shears steeply dipping to the north and a north-south shear set, dipping steeply east.

PRIZE MINING PROVIDES AN UPDATE ON THE KENA/TOUGHNUT GOLD-

SILVER DRILL PROGRAM October 16, 2018

Kena-Toughnut Gold Silver Project

Diamond drilling at the Toughnut Gold-Silver properties in southeastern British Columbia is well underway in its second phase of this season and is going well. Phase II will focus on testing two target areas: (1) The Gold Eagle Showing – best historical intercepts include a 2010 hole, VTN10-008, which

returned 4.02g/t Au over 24.3m (including 14.47g/t Au over 4.0m). Strike extension drilling by Prize in 2017 returned intercepts of 2.95g/t Au over 5.5m (hole TN17006) and 1.0g/t Au over 17.7m (TN17009).

Intercepts to date indicate over 750m of mineralized strike length that is open to the northwest, southeast and down-dip; and (2) The Toughnut Crown Grant workings — this trend of historical pits,

adits and shafts exposes a high-grade polymetallic quartz vein system that has never been drill tested. Grab samples by Pacific Sentinel in 1989 returned up to 32.8g/t Au, 212.5g/t Ag, 2.6% Pb, and 5.9% Zn

from quartz veins in volcanic host rocks.

Our start-up for Phase II was delayed slightly due to forestry activity in the project area, however, this has since been resolved and drill crews are making good steady progress. Core recovery has been

excellent and the target zones have been intersected in all holes so far.

Taranis Submits Joint Application for Mines Act & Environmental Permitting Act for 10,000 t Bulk Sample at Thor

October 15th

, 2018

Taranis Resources Inc. enthusiastically announces a major development milestone at Thor. The

Company has filed a Joint Application under the Mines Act and Environmental Management Act (the “Joint Application”) with the Ministry of Energy and Mines. Approval of the Joint Application will

position Taranis to become the next producing mine in the Kootenay area of British Columbia, and unique in the application of on-site ore concentration in Western Canada.

The Joint Application outlines detailed plans to construct a processing facility onsite that will pre-concentrate polymetallic ore from the Resource. Pre-concentration of ore drastically reduces the

amount of material that must be transported from the mine site for subsequent upgrading. High-grade concentrates will be processed at a hydrometallurgical plant for further upgrading before being sent to

a smelter for refining. The concentrate will contain silver, gold, lead, zinc, copper and indium. Processing 9,500 tonnes of polymetallic ore plus 500 tonnes of monometallic gold ore are expected to

yield enough valuable data to move forward into full-scale mining at Thor.

Metallurgical testing of the polymetallic Resource has determined that it is suitable for upgrading by gravity. Gravity concentration technologies have evolved rapidly in the past decade and have unique applicability to mining operations at Thor. The proposed facility exhibits 95% conservation of water

resources and has minimal footprint on the environment.

October 2018 Page 10 of 17

MINING: GOOD NEIGHBOUR AND PROVIDER TO THE WORLD WWW.CMEBC.COM

There have been two historic operating mines at Thor, and both operations sought to fully process ore directly on-site. Taranis has opted to take a radically different approach using new technology that incorporates minimal infrastructure on-site. The process is also expected to have a major impact on

Resource calculation, as the system can process low-grade ore and upgrade it directly on-site. Some key elements that have been undertaken for the Joint Application include:

Periodic water chemistry and stream sediment baseline sampling in the True Fissure and Broadview Creek watersheds commencing in 2017.

• Topographic and geophysical surveys over the proposed location of the Millsite (the old True Fissure mill site).

• Two years of weather station monitoring to examine long-term local weather trends that play a role in mining and engineering operations.

• Extensive metallurgical and environmental testing of ore from two available stockpiles on the property that will be processed in the gravity separation plant.

• Engineering considerations of design and plant site location selection and water management.

• Engineering design of on-site storage facilities for waste rock.

Rokmaster Receives Duncan Lake Zinc Project Assay Results September 28, 2018

Rokmaster Resources Corp. is pleased to announce that final assay results have been received from two additional rock samples taken from a location 2.5 km north of the newly discovered zinc-lead

occurrence (see NR-07-2018 and NR-08-2018) and about 300 m south of the central part of the historic No. 3 Zone.

Prospecting was in a recently clear cut logged area located on the Duncan Anticline, approximately 1.4 kilometers north of the No. 2 Zone and 7 kilometers south of the Jubilee Point drill target area. Two grab samples were analyzed; one sample of float slabs in one area, and one sample of bedrock in an unknown hand trench (1925-26 vintage, re-exposed by the recent logging activity) of dolomite and

limestone containing visible strata bound sulphide mineralization with sphalerite and galena (zinc and lead sulphide minerals) over a 2.5 km length of the Duncan anticline. In addition, results from a recently completed geochemical soil sample survey taken over a 4.5 km long section of the Duncan anticline are

being tabulated and interpreted. Maps of the soil sample survey and rock sampling, with assay and geochemical results plotted, will soon be posted on the Company website.

An excavator trenching and channel sampling program is being planned and permitted for the area.

Rock sample assay results are tabulated and described briefly in the table below:

*The reader is cautioned that grab samples are selective spot samples which are typically constrained to visibly mineralized areas and are not intended to be representative of the amount of material sampled.

All rock samples were dried, crushed to 70% passing 2mm, then split to 250g, then pulverized to 85% passing 75um, at MS Analytical Labs (an Accredited Laboratory, ISO 9001:2015 Certified) in Langley, BC. A portion of the resulting pulps were then assayed by multi-element ICP-240 by 4-acid Ore Grade ICP-AES. Two granite blanks and two Standard blanks were inserted for quality control purposes. Sample No. 5485 was duplicated for check assay with comparable results. Sample rejects and left over pulps will be stored in a secure sea-container at a Company storage facility in Salmo, BC.

GGX Gold Initiates Trenching Program On the Gold Drop Property Southern British Columbia

Oct 17, 2018

GGX Gold Corp is pleased to announce it has commenced the fall 2018 trenching program on the Gold Drop property near Greenwood, southern British Columbia. Trenching is being conducted in the east

region of the property in the area of gold bearing veins. Property highlights include:

• Gold and silver bearing veins in various region of the property with recent and historic samples exceeding 1 oz./ ton gold.

• Positive results from recent drilling the COD and Everest gold bearing veins including intersections of 50.1 g/t gold over 2.05m and 54.9 g/t gold over 1.47m.

• Excellent infrastructure with property bordering the town of Greenwood. • Several mills in the district within trucking distance of the property.

The focus of the fall 2018 trenching program is the Silent Friend and Ken gold bearing veins near the

Gold Drop and North Star gold and silver bearing vein systems. Most of the historic work and

production has occurred at the Gold Drop and North Star vein systems. The 2017 prospecting program

yielded significant results including 297 grams per tonne gold (g/t) and 1290 g/t silver sampled in dump

pile quartz from what is believed to be the southern Silent Friend showing. Samples from a mineshaft

dump pile north of this exposure assayed 6.98 g/t gold and 38.6 g/t silver. Samples collected from a

mineshaft to the south, speculated to be the Ken mineshaft, assayed 4.47 g/t gold and 23.0 g/t tonne

silver (News release November 8, 2017).

(297 g/t Gold and 1290 g/t Silver)

The objective of the program is to locate and trace the quartz veins in between the historical workings. Modern trenching has proven to be useful on the Gold Drop Property by extending veins where

historical trenches failed. An example is the recent discovery of the Gold Drop extension south of historic workings (News Release of September 20, 2018).

Drilling to date is limited so true widths cannot be definitively determined. However, based on the geology of the vein zone with a steep

dip to the west, true widths are estimated to be about 80-90% of reported interval lengths.

Peter Fischl, Exploration Manager goes on to add, “Drilling continues to define a horizon of stronger gold mineralization. This hole targeted the shallower portions of the vein system above deeper weakly mineralized vein intersections in holes SN18-09 and SN18-11. Mineralization over the 700m long strike

length now appears to be strongest along a horizon centred at about 1200m elevation. Follow-up drilling will test the vertical range and strike length of this horizon.”

Shovelnose Gold Property Overview

There is evidence of a significant mineralized alteration system within the property. Recent drilling intersected 17.77 metres of 24.50 g/t Au, including 6.78 metres of 50.76 g/t Au. For further information

on the Shovelnose Gold Property, please visit: http://westhavenventures.com/projects/shovelnose-gold/details/

The Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB)

Westhaven owns a 100%-interest in 4 properties covering over 35,000 hectares within the prospective SBGB, which is situated within a geological setting like those which host other significant epithermal

gold-silver systems. It is close to major transportation routes and infrastructure allowing for cost-effective exploration. The SBGB is a 110-kilometre northwest-trending belt of intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks dominated by the Cretaceous Spences Bridge Group. Sable Resources and Westhaven

have a combined control of 86% of the SBGB (225,000ha). Any ground staked by Sable within 5-kilometre of Westhaven's existing projects will be subject to a 2.5% NSR. In addition, Westhaven has a 30 day Right of First Refusal (ROFR) for a three-year period for any properties within this 5-kilometre

radius.
