Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially include, but are not limited to: risks associated with the highly variable and uncertain nature of geology, the weather, the fact the Company has limited financial resources, loses money, cannot generate earnings nor pay dividends and will continue to be in this loss-making position for the foreseeable future; is entirely dependent upon debt or equity financing sourced from investors to finance its operations and has an uncertain ability to raise additional funds when required; relies on a small number of key managers who lack backup and may not be able to secure key contract personnel and services providers needed to execute it plans; may not be able to secure exploration permits; First Nations risks; and risks associated with general economic conditions, fluctuating metal prices, credit market conditions and investor risk appetite. Management provides forward-looking statements because they believe such statements deliver useful guidance and information to readers when considering their investment objectives. Though management believes such statements to be as accurate as possible in the context of the information available to management at the time in which they are made, management cautions readers that the guidance and information contained in such statements may rapidly be superseded by subsequent events.

Snoball Property: Opportunity* Near-Term Discovery Potential. We Believe We’ve Found the Source of a Large, Strong, Gold-Silver Anomaly, Up-Slope of Previous Work, and Intend to Drill it in 2020 Historical work including geochemical sampling and drilling by Noranda (1992 – 12 DDH / 1,500 metres) took place at low elevations on this property Our initial evaluation of historical sampling suggested the actual source of a strong multi- element anomaly was up-slope to the north, at higher elevations well above areas historically tested Our sampling (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019) of new areas up-slope seems to confirm this We now believe the principal source of the anomalies lies along and below Snoball Ridge and Pyramid Peak Key drill pads were constructed in September 2019 The first-ever drilling of Snoball Ridge and Pyramid Peak will take place in 2020 * See also comprehensive NI 43-101 Technical Report 7

Golden Lion Property: Opportunity 1 Near-Term Discovery Potential. High Grades in Outcrop and High Values in Soils. Multiple Targets and Large Scale Potential In 1982 Newmont drilled 22 DDH for 2,475 metres on a single epithermal-style target on this large property from which strong results were returned, e.g. 87 metres* of 1.01 g/t Au Soil sampling in 2013 and 3D modeling by Evergold in 2019 shows this zone (“GL1”) to be open for expansion, and to present an immediate, potentially high-grade gold-silver drill target Extensive soil and rock sampling carried out in 2017, 2018 and 2019 by Evergold has revealed two large, strong, multi- element (Cu-Au-Ag-Pb-Zn) anomalies (“GL2” and “GL3”) overlying the hills to the northeast of GL1 The multi-element character of these anomalies, coupled with rock sampling, geological mapping and the results of a 2017 airborne magnetic survey, suggests one or more porphyry intrusive sources Topography suggests the source of the soil anomalies at GL2 and GL3 lies below, at shallow depth Outcropping high-grade copper-gold-silver skarn mineralization sampled in 2018 at GL2 presents a target of character similar to that presently being explored by Sun Metals at their Stardust project, also in north central BC An induced polarization (IP) survey of the GL1, GL2 and GL3 target areas is planned for 2020, to be followed by drilling of selected targets 1. See also comprehensive NI 43-101 Technical Report * The true width of this intercept is estimated at 35 metres. True width of the broader mineralized GL1 zone is estimated at 100 metres 19
