• 2021 Potentially extend drift

by 100 - 150m

• Objective to extend dip

length by 50%

• Additional stepout, infill &

metallurgy/Geotech holes

considered

• 2021: Q1 drilling to extend

down-dip of high grade zone

• New structural interpretation

suggests shallowing of dip

to the west

Page 21: Corporate Presentation - Blackwolf Copper and Gold Ltd

• Historic mining operations

• Existing underground development (1,100 m of

4.3m x 5.3m)

• Resource has good internal continuity

• Ideal setting for bulk mining methods (i.e. longhole

stoping)

Average width: 15m

Maximum width: 100 m

Average dip: 52o

• Initial metallurgical tests indicates high quality

clean Cu & Zn concentrates, high precious metals

content

• Competent ground in existing underground ramp

• Low initial Capex requirement

IDEAL MINING CONDITIONS

Page 22: Corporate Presentation - Blackwolf Copper and Gold Ltd

*AIDEA – Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority

Detailed evaluation of several potential off-site mill sites conducted. Gravina Island is

currently the leading option and presents clear technical and financial advantages.

Key Benefits:

• Existing, low cost power

• On tidewater with deep draft port

• Accessibility to local workforce

• Heatherdale and Ketchikan Gateway

Borough reached an MOU in 2012

for investigating the site

• Previous disturbance

(‘brownfield’)

• Pre-Authorized for

$125M low interest

loan to develop the

Niblack Project

through AIDEA*

• Management has strong track record

community & indigenous engagement,

advanced project permitting

• Prince of Wales Island, Metlakatla and

Ketchikan consultation by previous

operators; new outreach to be initiated

• Share ownership by Native Groups

should be considered

• Existing liabilities at Niblack; bonding &

water treatment in place

• Land tenure includes Federal Patent,
