Cree Lake
The Company has acquired the Cree Lake Project, a 9,647 acre (~3,904 hectare) group of 18 mineral claims, within Swayze Township. According to Mantis Minerals Corp 43-101 Technical Report, "recent drilling intersected a volcanic hosted, quartz stockwork system carrying significant gold values along substantial drill hole widths, which include a 15.5 meter interval averaging 2.05 g/t Au from hole CL096. The zone comes to surface and represents excellent open pit potential for a bulk gold tonnage deposit. Follow up trenching west of hole CL096 exposed a 50 meter length of intermittent quartz veining and shearing over a 10 meter width. Grab samples within this zone yielded significant gold values ranging from 0.61g/t to 43.2 g/t, with an average of 6.47 g/t. (Hawke, 2012)".
The Cree Lake Claims are host to the prolific Flint Rock showing, which has demonstrated gold values in drill results as high as 20.07 oz/t (Ontario Geological Survey, 1994). Details of the acquisition are available in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission Form 8-K Filing Dated June 25, 2013. Cree Lake - Form 8-K

Exploration Update
The Company has received a NI 43-101 Technical Report, complete with recommendations for a work program on the sections of the Swayze Property of the Kenty Gold Mine, and the Mortimer Claims. The Company has released a copy of the report and its recommendations on its website. To date, significant progress in understanding of the Property has been made, with initial findings confirming the potential for a bulk gold tonnage model, as gold mineralization has been discovered in secondary veins never before considered, ranging from trace to 5.49 gpt Au, assayed as a grab sample in part of a recent surface mapping program.
