Chemin Troïlus Project

Q3 2016, recovered pristine gold grains in tills suggesting proximal source in bedrock of mineralized boulders

Within corridor containing former gold-copper Troilus mine (produced 2 million ounces of gold and 70,000 tonnes of copper), discovered by boulder tracing and drilling

Located 110 km north-northwest of Chibougamau, Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory, good road access

Acquired from Les Ressources Tectonic, 33 km2 (100% owned)

Planned program: Surface geophysics (completed), define and test drill targets - Q2-Q3 2017

Somanike Project

Drilling: 1.41% Ni, 0.05% Cu, 0.30 g/t Pd, 0.04 g/t Pt @ 0.5 m,includes former Marbridge mine: 0.7 Mt @ 2.3% Ni, 0.1% Cu

Unrecognized potential for gold and VMS (zinc-copper-silver-gold)

Drill targets ü Open depth and strike extension of Marbridge’s Mine 2 - 0.15 Mt > 3% Niü Other areas: 8 new targets identified (conductors) over 4 km of cumulative length

Acquisition from Virginia/Royal Nickel/Globex, 47 km2 (100% owned)

Cooperation agreement with Abitibiwinni first nation/Pikogan

Planned program (new targets generated): ü Identify strategic project partner - Q2-Q3 2017ü Drill on selected high-grade nickel-platinum group elements targets and

gold or VMS targets in and around Marbridge mine and elsewhere
