The project close to existing infrastructure such as markets professionals, CAVU’s technical also contains high-grade drill-proven road and power. team has intimate experience identifying skarn mineralization over 1350m x and exploring for copper in BC and 650m. Exploration is conducted efficient and Yukon. CAVU has been structured to cost-effectively with minimal use of provide an attractive valuation amongst The Kitimat Project contains two aircraft. its peers. intrusion-related targets with high grade copper-gold mineralization at surface. *in J-2010-7 Mineralization encountered from 21.34 to 126.22m, Data was verified by using a select interval of core and is presented in the Kitmat 43-101 report filed on Sedar.

Copper Castle Recovery Excellent metal recovery Preliminary metallurgical study indicates good recovery of both copper and gold from skarn horizons Copper recovery: 81%, gold recovery: 45% without cyanidation. Including cyanidation increases gold recovery to 76% Copper recoveries increase at lower concentrate grade to an 86% recovery at 25% copper concentrate Magnetite as potential by-product Magnetite skarn common, with the right separation tools magnetite may also be recoverable at a concentrate of 60 – 65% Fe Q1 2021
Copper Castle Expansion Copper Castle open along strike and to depth 2021 extension 2021 drilling by CAVU proved southward extension of high-grade copper skarn Potential for 1700m Based on geochemical, geological and strike geophysical data the skarn can be further Fig from Luke here extended southwards by another 300 to 400m Potential for mineralization over 1700 x 1100m Mineralized horizons have been tested to 400m depth, deeper horizons are possible Untested skarn targets to north and south Several untested skarn targets exist to the north of the Hopper intrusion and further to the south Target zones are of similar size to Copper Castle Q1 2021
Skarn Exploration Potential Priority Target 1 Untested skarn targets to north and south Several untested skarn targets exist to the north of the Hopper intrusion and further to the south Targets interpreted from a property wide EM Copper Castle survey. The survey successfully indicated the targeted Copper Castle Extension. Priority Target 2 Additional target zones are of similar size to Copper Castle Priority target 1 is mineralized as has been confirmed by rock and soil geochemistry Priority target 2 is a geophysical target with similarities to Copper Castle Q1 2021
