MEL PROJECT – WHAT’S NEXT

1. Additional staking underway to expand project area.

2. Drill & camp mobilized in spring 2018 for geophysics & drilling in the spring/summer.

3. All exploration permits are in place for 2018 exploration.

4. Detailed study of quaternary geology to aid in interpretation of unsourced KIM trains.

5. Full petrologic characterization of ML-8 kimberlite is underway & evaluation of the composition and abundance of KIMs for comparison against the project till database.

6. 2018 till sampling of expanded project area.
