MINERAL PROJECTS UPDATES:

The Company will provide more detailed updates on its projects as activity progresses, but offers the following;

• - Montauban Restoration and Gold Recovery Project

The Montauban Project is located in mining-friendly Quebec, covering 1846 hectares, and is comprised of 65 claims. The Montauban Property was mined intermittently between 1910 and 1990. These mining operations resulted in a number of toxic residues piles which the Company intends to reprocess using modern milling techniques that will both remove gold and silver resources and cleanse the contaminated material. The primary zone of interest is the Anacon Lead 1 residue site which underwent a resource estimation in 2011. Further to this primary residue site, there are four other residue sites that will be evaluated as modern mill feed. The underlying hard rock mineralization, which was previously mined, will undergo modern systematic exploration with the intent of building a resource to provide future mill feed once the residue sites have been fully reprocessed.

Accomplishment:

• - Over $9M has been invested in developing the Montauban opportunity
