WHY WEST AFRICA? Birimian Terrane of western Africa where +50 million ounces of gold discovered in last 15 years. Deposit Ownership Afaho Newmont Mining Akyem Newmont Mining Essakane IAMGOLD Loulo Randgold Morila Anglogold, Randgold Obuasi Anglogold Ashanti Sadiola Anglogold, IAMGOLD Siguiri Anglogold Syama Randgold Tarkwa Goldfields Much remains underexplored. These reserve and/or combined production and remaining reserve numbers are taken from various government and industry sources and reflect general deposit grades in the Birimian Greenstone Belt. There are currently no mineral reserves or resources associated with any of the IXI properties. www.indigoexploration.com TSX.V : IXI 6

2020 EXPLORATION PLANS Lati 2 Conduct detailed soil sampling grid over 3 km x 600 m untested area where artisanal workings have expanded since 2012 Conduct selective soil grids over other untested artisanal workings Potential aircore drilling on high priority soil anomalies Hantoukoura Monitor permit during government imposed security suspension Be prepared to resume exploration on lifting suspension Djimbala (Mali) Identify and sample artisanal mine workings across permit Initiate detailed and broad-based soil sampling grids over prospective areas on permit Potential aircore drilling on high priority soil anomalies www.indigoexploration.com TSX.V : IXI 20
WHY INVEST? Burkina Faso’s gold exploration and development sector is exploding, going from 209 kg of gold produced in 2002 to an estimated 40 tonnes in 2020 IXI is Targeting multi-million ounce economic gold deposits Large land package of over 418.5 km2 of Birimian Greenstone in Burkina Faso Expanded into Mali with 100 km2 Djimbala Permit option Projects all have large, active artisanal sites with multi-km drill targets – targeting elephant size projects Strong management with West African discovery experience Resuming exploration with directed sampling and soil sampling to prioritize drill targeting www.indigoexploration.com TSX.V : IXI 21
