GOLIATH GOLD PROJECT – SUMMARY

4

(1) Preliminary Economic Analysis of the Goliath Gold Project, effective July 19, 2012 (Press release July 19, 2012). PEA is based on 2011 resource estimate

The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

New 43-101 Resource Estimate

1,165,800 oz Au Eq Measured and Indicated and 341,300 oz Au Eq Inferred

High-Grade Gold

Average open pit grade of 2.80 g/t Au Eq

Attractive Cash Cost

+ A preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”)(1) was completed in August 2012 outlining a 2,500 tpd operation with production of 80,000 oz Au Eq per year

+ High grade open-pit production, transitioning to an underground operation in year 5

+ Upfront capital of C$92.5 million

+ Mine life of 10.3 years

+ Optimization studies and additional drilling have been completed and will form the basis of a Feasibility Study Targeting annual production of 70k oz-75k oz Au

+ Advancing through the permitting process with the Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) submitted and public comment period and federal government technical reviews completed

Project Development Project Location – Stable & Mining Friendly

MINING PLAN – FEASIBILITY STUDY TARGETS

18

The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

+ Updated Canadian Dollar and Costs

+ Feasibility Studies will target annual gold production of ~70-80,000 oz/annum

+ Mill daily throughput rate will be optimized within a range from 2,100 to 2,700 t/d

+ Potential lower stripping ratio (and costs) while maintaining grade

+ Initial Capex is targeted to be ~ C$ 100 MM and sustaining similar to PEA, life of mine capex including underground of C$200 MM including a 20% contingence

+ Total Mine Life should increase beyond PEA primarily in Open pit

+ Feasibility Study will be based on new resource estimate

Recent range C$1,400 - C$1,600 per Oz

Higher Canadian gold price and firmer USD gold price

Input Costs declining to neutral

Energy, Employment and Construction

~C$668 per Oz1 cash costs (after silver credit)

C$800 - C$950 per Oz1 AISC expected from Feasibility Study

* Independent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate completed by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. (Press release, August 28, 2015).

Notes from Resource Estimate: 1. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of

mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.

2. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred resources as an Indicated or Measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured mineral resource category.

3. The mineral resources in this press release were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by the CIM Council.

4. A gold price of US$1,397/oz and silver price of US$22.93/oz based on the April 30, 2015 three year trailing average prices and an exchange rate of US$1.06=Cdn$1.00 were utilized in the AuEq cut-off grade calculations of 0.35 g/t AuEq for Open Pit and 1.90 g/t AuEq for Underground mineral resources.

5. Open Pit mining costs were assumed at Cdn$5.00/t for mineralized material, Cdn$3.15/t for waste rock and Cdn$2.00/t for overburden, while Underground mining costs were assumed at Cdn$70.00/t, with process costs of Cdn$13.81/t, G&A of Cdn$2.72/t, and process recoveries of 95% for gold and 70% for silver.

6. The Au:Ag ratio used for AuEq was 82.68. 7. A bulk density model averaged 2.76 t/m3 for mineralized material. 8. Totals in the table may not sum due to rounding.

+ 2,375 tonne sample previously tested with 97% recovery using CIL process and 70% recovery from gravity alone.

+ Two additional samples tested:

– G&T Metallurgical Services – 95+% recovery with cyanide, 60-70% recovery by gravity, 8-12 hours leach time, medium hardness rock.

– Gekko Systems Australia – tested their Python Process to confirm amenability ore to treatment using VSI and continuous gravity concentration CGR.

+ Trade off and final studies incorporated in Optimization Study in Q2 2014.
