Loren Komperdo, President & CEO stated "The extra 129 acres brings the total land position for our proposed surface facilities to 270 acres, thus providing greater flexibility in our potential development of the Dawson gold deposit."
The Dawson gold deposit is host to an *Inferred Mineral Resource prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 that totals 116,300 ounces gold (343,000 tonnes at 10.55 g/t defined at a 5 g/t cutoff and 40 g/t topcut), (uncut: 133,500 ounces grading 12.11 g/t gold), and is open at depth. This estimate has an effective date of July 19, 2013 (see Company news release dated July 23, 2013). Average width of the gold mineralized zone is approximately 3.5 m (11.5 ft.) and ranges between approximately 1 and 15 m (3.3 - 49.2 ft.). A **Preliminary Economic Assessment prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 and having an effective date of March 21, 2017 was subsequently completed and showed robust economics at a $1,250/oz gold price (see Company news release dated February 7, 2017). Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Management feels that current and projected gold prices support proceeding immediately with gold exploration at the Dawson and Green Mountain sections; both of which boast excellent potential for resource discovery/growth. The combined length of the gold prospective mineralized trend at Dawson and Green Mountain is approximately 9 km.

** The report is entitled "National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report for the Dawson Property, Colorado, USA", effective March 21, 2017 (the "Technical Report"). The Technical Report was prepared by independent engineering firm, Golder Associates Ltd., with input from a number of other specialized and experienced consulting firms, and is in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
This PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There has been insufficient drilling to define the inferred resources as indicted or measured mineral resource; however, it is reasonable to expect that the inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated and possibly measured resources with continued drilling. There is no guarantee that any part of the mineral resources discussed herein will be converted into a mineral reserve in the future.
