The Four Metals property hosts an outcropping copper-molybdenum-silver-gold deposit that has seen multiple exploration campaigns dating back to the early 1900's. Historic drilling has outlined breccia-hosted mineralization from surface to approximately 180 meters depth. Significant drill intercepts from historic drilling campaigns have included 91.74 meters grading 1.12% copper, 0.061% molybdenum and 3.63 g/t silver in drill hole UG-4 (0.00 to 91.74 meters depth) as well as 64.01 meters grading 1.33% copper, 0.073% molybdenum and 4.37 g/t silver in UG-7 (from 0.00 to 64.01 meters depth). These drill holes were completed prior to the implementation of NI 43-101 and have not been verified by a "qualified person" and therefore should not be relied upon.
