Rationale for Acquisition

o Many parts of British Columbia are highly prospective for minerals, but one region stands out - an area in the northwestern referred to as the Golden Triangle.

o One of the richest mineral belts in the world.

o Produced enormous precious and base metal wealth over the past century.

o Having already delivered millions of ounces of gold and tens of millions of ounces of silver, the region ranks as an important mineral district.

o Represents only a tiny fraction of the metal now known to be hosted in

the district.

1960’s -1970’so Enormous amount of exploration

work outlined numerous large precious and base metal deposits.

o The area went quiet at the end of the 1970s, before those mines could be developed.

1980’s o A resurgence of exploration in the

Golden Triangle with a focus on gold and silver.

o Exploration efforts were driven by junior exploration companies.

o Eskay Creek Mine discovered in 1988 and became the fifth largest silver mine in the world,

o 15 million ounces annually for much of its 14-year mine life.

The resulting staking rush saw the district broken into thousands of small claims, with numerous companies each pursuing targets within the bounds of their property.

The Kirkham Property o Located within the prolific Golden Triangle of northern British

Columbia, approximately 65km from Stewart. o 35 mineral claims covering over 12,540 hectares. o Approximately 20 km southwest of Barrick Gold Corp’s Eskay

Creek Mine and 40km from Pretium Exploration’s Brucejack deposit.

o Property originally assembled by the late Dr. Rodney Kirkham, a distinguished geologist who was a renowned copper deposit expert with the Geological Survey of Canada. He spent many years studying the base and precious metal deposits of The Golden Triangle.

o Metallis purchased The Kirkham Property July, 2013 and further expanded the property by acquiring The Mt. Dunn Property in December 2013.

o In February 2014 Metallis staked an additional claim of 536 hectares. This new claim covers an area upstream from several of the highest (98th percentile) gold-in-silt samples.

o In June 2014 Metallis further acquired an additional 2 claims known as the Achiles and King Creek claims which were situated within the existing Kirkham Property. A heavy mineral sample collected at the mouth of a stream that drains the new claims returned a gold assay of 3847 ppb - one of the highest recorded from the Golden Triangle. The purchase of these claims is part of our strategic plan to acquire more prospective ground in the heart of BC's Golden Triangle. 12

Page 13: April, 2011 1 1. Cautionary Statement Certain statements herein may contain forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws

o Dr. Kirkham methodically assembled a large land package in the central part of the Golden Triangle

o Based selection on a regional, evolving geological concept

o Very little exploration carried out below the tree-line.

o Outstanding potential for commercial mineralization.

o Metallis, guided by the regional features, will use geophysics and other tools to probe untested areas.

o Recent example of this approach is the discovery of phenomenal concentrations of gold at Pretium’s Valley of the Kings deposit

Regional Geology

The Kirkham Property was assembled by Metallis for its potential to host a wide variety of precious and base metal deposits, most of which have close spatial and genetic links with Early Jurassic magmatism. Deposit styles reflect an assortment of depositional environments including:

o Veins: Snip, Silbak-Premier, Red Mountain, Brucejack and Scottieo Alkaline porphyry copper/gold deposits (shear/vein gold/silver deposits

(ie. Snip, Brucejack, KSM, etc).o Volcanogenic Massive Sulphides: Eskay Creek

A compilation of the archived exploration reports and recent government geological mapping shows that the property displays numerous showings, geochemical and geophysical anomalies, alteration zones and permissive geological features.

In July of 2013, Metallis recently carried out an 50 km2 airborne EM/Mag/Spec survey over a part of the property. This survey outlined numerous targets worthy of follow up. 14

o Several broad anomalous zones are observed. In general they follow magnetic trends and are commonly associated with local magnetic anomalies. There is a good correlation between the distribution of EM anomalies and Th/K ratio anomalies.

o The isolated anomalies could correspond to the volcanogenic massive sulphide (Eskay Creek –type) or the shear/vein (Snip Mine-type) exploration models. The large anomalies could be related to porphyry copper/gold systems (i.e. Red-Chris, Galore Creek, and Mt. Milligan).

o A localized EM and magnetic response occurs on two lines near the base of a steep north facing slope. This response is particularly interesting since geochemical sampling downslope generated anomalous Cu/Zn/Au/As values. The combined geochemical and geophysical response is interpreted as a possible gold bearing massive sulphide target.

o A broad 2 km sized coincident 100nT magnetic high and low resistivity zone occurs in the north central part of the survey area. The low resistivity zone is interpreted to be caused by alteration and possibly sulphide mineralization. The broad magnetic anomaly is interpreted to be the expression of an intrusive body which could be the source for the mineralization discovered to date. A weak Thorium/Potassium ratio high also coincides with the zone, suggesting a dioritic intrusion.

o One of the major coincident TEM/MAG/Radiometric anomalies is correlated with the known distribution of the Hawlison monzonite.

o At the south end of the above mentioned quartz monzonitic intrusive, a zone of increased EM response, again associated with a mag low, occurs on the west side of the mapped intrusive, and in the vicinity of mineralized showings. A limited amount of drilling and trenching has identified copper and gold mineralization occuring over a 3.5 kilometer-long section of this intrusion.

• Directly west of the 2km sized mag/resistivity anomaly mentioned above, a localized EM and magnetic response occurs on two lines near the base of a steep north facing slope. This response is particularly interesting since geochemical sampling downslope generated anomalous Cu/Zn/Au/As values. The directly associated negative 300nT response suggests remanence magnetism from a body emplaced at a time when the earth’s field was reversed.

• Modeling of the VTEM electromagnetic response suggests a 15 Siemen, west dipping, approx. 300M target at a shallow depth of about 40M. The combined geochemical and geophysical response is interpreted as a possible gold bearing massive sulphide target. It occurs about 200M west of the Hawlison monzonite. This target is about 20kms southwest of Barrick Gold’s Eskay Creek mine.

• The isolated conductors have not been tested to date and represent very attractive targets suitable for follow-up. In several cases, these conductors are related to silt and soil geochemical anomalies or prospective rock-types such as rhyolites.
