Advanced Infrastructure & Mine Permits in Place In addition to having exploration permits, there are two active mine permits on the property (green/orange areas on map): 1. Taurus Gold Mine Permit covers Taurus deposit, tailings pond (500,000 tonnes @ 0.97 – 1.25 g/t Au) and mill 2. Cassiar South (aka Table Mountain) Permit covers all past- producing mine areas Permitted 300 tpd mill produced both gravity and flotation concentrates that were sold offsite. Recoveries averaged 93% at Cassiar South veins with room for optimization. Mill was rebuilt in 1986 and was in production until 2007 and refurbished in 2010.* Permitted Erickson Mill Facility, Cassiar Gold Project TSX.V:GLDC | OTCQX: CGLCF | FRA: 756 *Source: October 2017 NI43-101 Technical Report by Paul Cowley, P.Geo 10

The Rich History of Cassiar Cassiar Gold Rush Heritage Sign, ©letsridebikes.ca Discovery of placer gold at McDame Creek started the gold rush in the area, 1872 where a record-breaking 72 oz gold nugget was found 1934 Discovery of first gold-bearing quartz veins followed by ~40 years of only small- scale mining of various operators Start of larger mining operations that took place at (South Cassiar) Main, Cusac, 1979 Bain and (North Cassiar) Taurus mines producing a total of 350Koz gold in total until 1998 1994 Discovery of Taurus West deposit by International Taurus Resources Consolidation of the entire Cassiar gold property by Hawthorne Gold. Drilling led 2008 to an updated resource estimates for both Taurus (North Cassiar) and Table Mountain (South Cassiar) 2011 Hawthorne subsequently became Wildsky Resources, who continued exploration of North and South Cassiar area until 2018 Margaux entered into an agreement to acquire 100% interest in the project. The 2019 company released a NI 43-101 compliant report for the current 1 Moz resource estimate at Taurus1 2020 Margaux exercised its option to fully acquire the project and rebranded to Cassiar Gold Corp. Cassiar Gold completed a 5,000 m-drilling program that confirmed the TSX.V:GLDC | OTCQX: CGLCF | FRA: 756 potential to increase the Taurus Resource 28

Geological Setting Cassiar Gold property located on inland BC orogenic gold belt (140-120 Ma) - a younger equivalent to geological setting in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, West Africa and Western Australia (eg. Fosterville) Belt includes Cariboo-Barkerville (>5 Moz), Sheep Creek (0.7 Moz) and Cassiar Gold District (>0.4 Moz) Cassiar Gold District is hosted by the Sylvester Allochthon, a portion of the Slide Mountain ophiolitic terrane composed of stacked, shallow dipping thrust panels of Paleozoic to early Mesozoic mafic volcanic rocks, ultramafic sills and fine-grained siliciclastic sediments TSX.V:GLDC | OTCQX: CGLCF | FRA: 756 30
Cassiar Property Geology Host rocks are a stacked sequence of gently dipping competent mafic volcanic rocks layered with weaker altered ultramafic (listwanite) and fine-grained sedimentary units (ophiolite sequence). Shallow dipping high strain zones with carbonate-sericite alteration are localized along the weaker listwanite and sedimentary units, acting as structural control and fluid conduits to vein systems Gold-bearing veins formed in stacked mafic volcanic panels in NW- side down, apparent normal shear zones that accommodate displacement between weaker units. Pillowed mafic volcanic Listwanite Carbonaceous sediments TSX.V:GLDC | OTCQX: CGLCF | FRA: 756 31
