1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Introduction
JDS Energy & Mining Inc. (JDS) was commissioned by Mayfair Gold Corp. (Mayfair or the Company) to prepare a Technical Report in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101 and Form 43-101F1, collectively referred to as National Instrument (NI) 43-101, for the Fenn-Gib Project (detailed below) located in Ontario, Canada.
1.2 Project Description, Location and Ownership
The Fenn-Gib Property is located in Guibord and Munro Townships in northeast Ontario. It is 43 km to the northwest of Kirkland Lake and 21 km east of Matheson, south of Abitibi Lake. The center of the property is at 5374037 N and 559078 E (UTM zone 17). The property is accessible all year long by the Highway 101 which passes through the property. Highway 101 connects with the Trans-Canada Highway at Matheson. The nearest airport is located 20 km north of Timmins, which itself is 80km from the property. The property is located in a very mining-friendly jurisdiction amongst dozens of historical mines and several active mines between Rouyn and Timmins camps.
Mayfair owns a 100% interest in 21 fee simple patented properties, 153 unpatented mining claims, and 144 patented leasehold mining claims located in the Guibord, Munro, Michaud and McCool Townships in northeast Ontario, Canada (collectively, the Fenn-Gib Project). The FennGib Project is subject to a 1.0% net smelter held by Lake Shore Gold Corp. (Lake Shore).
1.3 History, Exploration and Drilling
From its initial discovery and work in 1911 the Fenn-Gib Project has been explored and developed by various operators with the last physical work being performed by Lake Shore in 2017.
Lacana Exploration (Lacana) acquired the Fenn property (western Fenn-Gib) and between 1984 and 1986 conducted geological mapping, trenching, geophysical surveys and almost 4,000 m of diamond drilling. In 1988, Lacana's successor company, Corona Corporation, drilled FE88-10 near the eastern boundary of the Fenn property, at the core of the Fenn-Gib Deposit.
Both the Gib and Fenn properties were acquired by Normina Mineral Development Corporation (Normina) in the summer of 1993. During 1993 Normina completed ground geophysics and a four-hole 2,306.7 m drill program. Pangea Goldfields Incorporated (Pangea) acquired Normina's interest in the property in January 1994. Between 1994 and 1997 Pangea conducted additional ground geophysical surveys and 60,805 m of diamond drilling in 202 holes on both the Fenn and Gib properties. This work resulted in the outlining a low-grade Main Zone (western portion of the Fenn-Gib Deposit) resource estimate.

In 1998, St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (St Andrew) optioned the property. St Andrew completed a limited I.P. survey and conducted 1,430 m of drilling in 21 holes in 1998-1999. The St Andrew work concentrated mainly on the Main Zone, outlined previously by Pangea. In 1998, Pangea completed an exploration program consisting of 14,090 m of drilling in 69 diamond drill holes.
Pangea performed mining studies between 1999 and 2000 consisting of a block model, a preliminary pit and a geological potential of the zone. Exploration activity focused on the eastern half of the Property, and consisted of line cutting, geophysics and diamond drilling. A total of 76.5 km of line cutting 67.5 km of magnetometer and 29 km of I.P surveying followed by 1,465 m of diamond drilling in five holes.
Barrick Gold Corporation (Barrick) purchased Pangea in June of 2000 completed an open-pit economic evaluation on the Fenn-Gib Deposit (Live et al. 2005).
Lake Shore acquired the “Highway 101” property from Richmond Minerals Incorporated (Richmond). This property comprises the south-western corner (51.8 ha) of the Fenn-Gib Property.
In 2011, Lake Shore completed a program of eight drillholes with three of those drilled being twins that are used for verification purposes. In addition, an NI 43-101 Technical Report and resource estimate was authored by SGS (SGS 2011).
During 2012, exploration activities conducted on Fenn-Gib consisted of diamond drill operations completed by Lake Shore which consisted of 34 drill holes totaling 15,802 m. Reconnaissance mapping and prospecting were also carried out on both the north and south claim blocks during 2012. A total of 291 field samples were collected throughout the program, of which 129 were sent for 48 element geochemical analyses and 162 for gold and silver.
During 2014, outcrop investigations and prospecting were carried out by Lake Shore and consisted of 14 samples.
During 2017, a surface definition diamond drilling program was conducted by Lake Shore on the Fenn-Gib Deposit, which included 98 holes for a total of 40,235 m.
After 2017, no further exploration activities or drilling was completed at Fenn-Gib.
1.4 Geology and Mineralization
Gold within the Fenn-Gib Project is primarily associated with disseminated pyrite in syenites and basalts affected by albitization and silicification in proximity to the fault contact between the Hoyle and Kidd-Munro packages. There appears to be a close association of the mineralization with syenite dykes and intrusions. The deposit itself can be traced for 1.25 km along strike and is thickest at the western end (300 m). The mineralization forms a thinner extension to the east along the same contact, concentrated within the deformation zone itself. Although the deposit is open in all directions, the quality of current known mineralization (grade and thickness) appears to decrease away from the core of the Fenn-Gib Project.
The property is underlain by the dominantly volcanic Kidd-Munro Assemblage to the north and the dominantly sedimentary Hoyle Assemblage to the south. The two sequences are juxtaposed

along the Contact Fault, an east-west to south-east trending shear zone, which is interpreted to be a splay of the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone. Within the property the Contact Fault is characterized by brittle deformation accompanied by intense carbonatization and silicification. Rocks from both assemblages were intruded by a variety of late intrusive rock including syenite and granitoid plugs and dykes, lamprophyre dykes and diabase dykes. A three-kilometer long, by 100 to 200 m wide mafic intrusive complex intrudes the Kidd-Munro Assemblage at or near its southern contact.
All lithologic units in and adjacent to the deformation zone are moderately to intensely altered. This alteration persists for a distance north and south of the fault outlining a major alteration halo at least two kilometers in length and 500 m wide. A variety of alteration styles occur within the broad alteration halo including silicification, albitization, potash metasomatism, carbonatization, sericitization, chloritization and hematization. Mariposite occurrences are widespread within the deformation zone. Sulphide mineralization, chiefly pyrite, occurs as disseminations and fracture fillings in concentrations ranging from trace to 15% in association with the more strongly altered areas. Gold is commonly associated with the sulphide mineralization especially in areas of coincident silicification and albitization.
Several styles of gold mineralization are recognized in the Fenn-Gib Project area. The most common type of gold mineralization recognized to date consists of quartz-carbonate veins, stringers and breccias hosted within intensely altered volcanic rocks and granitoid intrusions (Fenn-Gib Deposit). A second style is gold associated with intensely altered sediments with variable fine crystalline pyrite within and in the hanging wall to the Deformation Zone. A third style of gold mineralization is associated with alteration, shearing and sulphides in NNE trending structures.
Significant concentrations of gold mineralization on the Fenn-Gib Project occur within two zones: 1) the Main Zone, and 2) the Deformation Zone. These two zones overlap completely and are referred herein as the Fenn-Gib Deposit.
The Main Zone is a broad zone of disseminated gold mineralization up to 250 m wide with grades for gold between 0.50 to 3.00 g/t. Massive, pillowed and variolitic basalts crop out and can be seen in diamond-drill core from holes collared near Highway 101. Hydrothermally altered variolitic basalts are the principal hosts of the Main Zone mineralization. These basalts were affected by pervasive and vein silicification, carbonatization, albitization, pervasive, but weak, hemitization, and vein sericitization. Syenite and lamprophyre dikes intruded the basalts and are locally mineralized. Pyrite is the main sulphide mineral and occurs as disseminations and in veins.
The Deformation Zone contains narrower and higher-grade intersections associated with altered sediments, intermediate dykes and grey syenite. Gold mineralization is associated with pyrite either in quartz healed breccias or as very fine disseminations. It has been interpreted that the Contact Fault acted as a channel for gold bearing hydrothermal fluids and is host to the Deformation Zone and the southern boundary of the Main Zone.
1.5 Metallurgical Testing and Mineral Processing
Fenn-Gib has had two significant metallurgical test-work campaigns since the 2011 drill program. The test-work has focused on gold and has included gravity, whole ore leach, flotation, and Pressure Oxidation (POX) components.
PAGE 1-3

The samples tested averaged 12.4% gravity recovery but exhibited highly variable recoveries which generally increases the importance of a gravity circuit to stabilize overall recovery.
Direct cyanidation following the gravity circuit resulted in an overall recovery of 75%, but as with the gravity circuit testing, the samples exhibited a significant amount of variability in recovery during the 2017 test-work program.
Flotation testing and Pressure Oxidation (POX) were also tested in the 2014 program and reported in Section 13. These technologies have the potential to significantly improve recoveries if the deposit can support the high capital cost of a POX circuit.
For this Technical Report, a conceptual processing option consisting of grinding to a P80 of 75 µm with a gravity circuit followed by cyanide leach. The expected recovery using this process is 75%. Further test-work is recommended to confirm a potential flowsheet and metallurgical recoveries.
The testwork conducted in 2014 demonstrated that it was possible to achieve an overall gold recovery into the mid 90% range if a circuit using gravity, flotation, oxidation, and leach were to be used. Although the testwork completed was insufficient for this report to add to the expected recovery, this should form a target for future testwork.
1.6 Mineral Resource Estimate
This resource is based on an Indicated Mineral Resource and Inferred Mineral Resource estimate undertaken by Garth Kirkham, P. Geo., of Kirkham Geosystems Ltd., a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 and independent of the Company.
The Fenn-Gib Deposit comprises over two primary zones; the Main and Deformation zones that extend over a strike length of 1,000 m, with dips averaging 75 degrees, to depths greater than 450 m.
The updated Mineral Resource Estimate incorporates more than 420 drill holes totaling 134,546 m. There is more than 2.01 Moz of gold contained in the Indicated Mineral Resources. The project also contains more than 0.07 Moz of gold in the Inferred Mineral Resource category. The Mineral Resource Estimate for Fenn-Gib Deposit is reported at a base case above a 0.35 g/t Au cut-off, as tabulated below in Table 1-1.
This estimate is based upon the reasonable prospect of eventual economic extraction based on continuity and an optimized pit, using estimates of operating costs and price assumptions. The “reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction” were tested using floating cone pit shells based on reasonable prospects of eventual economic assumptions. The pit optimization results are used solely for the purpose of testing the “reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction” and do not represent an attempt to estimate Mineral Reserves.
Table 14-11 shows tonnage and grade in the Fenn-Gib Project and includes all mineralized units, including resources within the meta-sediments, volcanics and pyroxenes outside the mineralized envelopes at a 0.35 g/t Au cut-off grade.

Notes:
-
Effective date: February 5, 2021.
-
All mineral resources have been estimated in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) definitions, as required under NI 43-101. Mineral Resource Statement prepared by Garth Kirkham (Kirkham Geosystems Ltd.) in accordance with NI 43-101.
-
Mineral Resources reported demonstrate reasonable prospect of eventual economic extraction, as required under NI 43-101. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
-
Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.35 g/t Au. Cut-off grades are based on a price of US$1,650/oz gold, and a number of operating cost and recovery assumptions, including a reasonable contingency factor.
-
Ounce (troy) = metric tonnes x grade / 31.10348. All numbers have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate.
-
It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.
-
There are no known environmental, permitting, legal, marketing and other relevant issues that would materially affect the Mineral Resources.

1.7 Recovery Methods
Conceptually, the mineral processing circuit is projected to include a conventional gyratory crusher, SAG & ball mill grinding circuit to grind to a P80 of 75 µm, at a nominal throughput rate of 10,000 t/d. A gravity circuit installed in the circulating load of the ball mill will recover coarse liberated particles of gold. The grinding circuit product would be directed to a thickener, where it is thickened to 50% solids. The feed would then undergo 48 hours of cyanide leaching followed by a CIP circuit. Gold and silver would be stripped from the carbon and electrowinning and then melted into doré bars.
The projected recovery for this deposit is 75%, but the recovery is highly variable, probably due to refractory gold. The test-work demonstrated that the recovery can be increased up to 10% by oxidizing a sulphide flotation concentrate through Pressure Oxidation or alternative oxidation technologies.
1.8 Conclusions and Recommendations
The Fenn-Gib Project is an exploration project that hosts significant gold mineralization. Kirkham recommends additional work to expand the current resource base and to confirm the economic potential of the Fenn-Gib Project and the rest of the property.
At the Fenn-Gib Deposit, it’s reasonable to expect that the majority of the Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with further diamond drilling, and additional infill drilling is recommended. The mineralized zones encountered at the Fenn-Gib

Deposit remain open at depth, as well as along strike in both the east and west directions. Additional targeted resource expansion drilling is therefore warranted.
Following the infill and resource expansion drill programs, an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and a possible Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), to confirm the potential economic viability of the mineral resources, is recommended.
A summary of the proposed work program, including a budget estimate is shown in Table 1-2.

There is no active, pending or threatened litigation against the Company or its Fenn-Gib Property located in the Guibord and Munro Townships in northeast Ontario, Canada.
4.3 Mining Rights
The patented parcels of land are the most secure form of land tenure and are subject to an annual mining tax payable to the Crown. The patented lands are described by the legal survey of individual mining claims and surveyed mining locations. The leasehold mining lands consist of 21-year mining leases issued for mining claims that have been legally surveyed as individual mining claims or defined by the perimeter survey of groups of mining claims. Each perimeter survey is given a CLM designation to describe the surveyed group of claims. Leaseholders are subject to an annual rental payable to the Crown. The Mining Act (Ontario) contains provisions for the renewal of 21-year mining leases. Applications for renewal are subject to review and consent by the Ministry.
On April 10, 2018, Ontario converted Ontario’s manual system of ground and paper staking and maintaining unpatented mining claims to an online system. All active, unpatented claims were converted from their legally defined location by claim posts on the ground or by township survey to a cell-based provincial grid. Mining claims are now legally defined by their cell position on the grid and coordinate location in the Mining Lands Administration System (MLAS) map viewer. The unpatented mining claims (cell mining claims) held by the Company do not confer upon the Company any right, title, interest or claims in or to the mining claims other than the right to proceed as is in the Mining Act (Ontario). Upon registering cell mining claims (cells), the Company must perform and file exploration assessment work and apply on those cells assessment work credits to maintain them in good standing. The first unit of assessment work of $400 per cell is required by the second anniversary date of the recording of the cell and an additional unit is required to be performed and filed for each year thereafter. Until a mining lease for the mining claims is issued, the Company does not have the right to remove or otherwise dispose of any minerals found in, upon or under the mining claim.
4.4 Mining Royalties and Back-In Rights
Lake Shore owns a 100% interest in 21 fee simple patented properties, 144 unpatented mining claims, and 153 patented leasehold mining claims located in the Guibord, Munro, Michaud and McCool Townships in northeast Ontario, Canada (collectively, the Fenn-Gib Project). Lake Shore sold the Fenn-Gib Project to Mayfair pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated June 8, 2020, amended on November 13, 2020. Concurrent with the closing of Mayfair’s acquisition of the Fenn-Gib Project, Mayfair granted LSG a 1% NSR royalty over the entirety of the Fenn-Gib Project to be paid in addition to those summarized in Table 4-1, Table 4-2 and Table 4-3 above.
Barrick holds a back-in right to acquire a 51% interest in the claims specified in Table 4-1, Table 4-2 and Table 4-3 if, at any time, a technical report (as defined in NI 43-101), is produced which demonstrates the existence of a mineral resource (as defined in NI 43-101) of at least 5 million ounces of gold in such properties.

4.5 Environmental Liabilities and Considerations
The Fenn-Gib Property does not intersect any federal lands, parks or others land category that would necessitate special permitting or negotiations with local communities or governmental organizations. Surrounding First Nations communities hold traditional treaty rights to hunt, fish, trap and harvest the land. An Exploration Agreement was signed between Lake Shore and the Wahgoshig First Nation (WFN) on February 9, 2017. This Agreement discusses the collaboration between the company and the WFN during exploration activities and has transferred to Mayfair under the Asset Purchase Agreement with Lake Shore.
Mayfair is currently working collaboratively with the WFN under the terms of the Exploration Agreement and expects to continue working collaboratively with the WFN as the Fenn-Gib Project advances.
JDS and the Qualified Persons do not expect that the Exploration Agreement or any other significant environmental liabilities would affect Mayfair’s access, title, or the right or ability to perform work on the Property.
Permit Requirements
The Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines issued Exploration Permit PR-2000379C on February 4, 2021 under which the prior approval under Exploration Permit PR-1711126 was extended for a period of one year until February 3, 2022.
4.6 Property Risks
JDS and the Qualified Persons are not aware of any other significant factors and risks that would affect Mayfair’s access, title, or the right or ability to perform work on the property.

5 ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSIOGRAPHY
5.1 Accessibility
The Property is easily accessible via Highway 101, which crosses the upper central part of the property. The highway links the provinces of Ontario and Quebec between the cities of Matheson and Duparquet just below the Abitibi Lake; the highway becomes “Autoroute 388” in the Province of Quebec. A few drill trails cross the property in a north-south direction (Figure 4-1).
5.2 Local Resources and Infrastructure
The nearest populated center is Matheson (pop. 2,500) located less than 20 km from the Property. However, Kirkland Lake (pop. 8,000), Timmins (pop. 43,500) and Rouyn-Noranda (pop. 41,000) are established mining centers within one-hour drive where services and supplies are available. An Ontario power transmission line follows Hydro Highway 101 through the Property and a high voltage transformer station is located at Ramore, some 15 km to the southwest. A natural gas pipeline is located about two kilometer west of the northwest corner of Guibord township, at Highway 527.
Water resources are locally available, and the site has significant lakes and wetlands from which to service operations. Electrical power for drilling will need to be via diesel generators as the project is not connected to the nearby transmission line. Cell phone coverage extends to the property. Mayfair holds sufficient surface rights necessary for exploration activities along with potential future mining operations.
The Fenn-Gib Property is partially transected by Highway 101 which provides easy and significant access to the Property and a transport conduit. The Highway is not viewed as an impediment or risk to infrastructure or development at this time.
In addition, the area is generally and intermittently covered by shallow sloughs and wetlands. These waterbodies are not known by the author to be fish-bearing and freeze completely in winter due to their shallow nature. Further studies to determine the flora and fauna that may be affected by potential mining operations and infrastructure are required, however it is not believed that these water bodies and features pose a risk to development. Furthermore, there are many currently active and historic mining operations that have had very similar features such as wetlands and issues such as highway and roads in the area. It is not believed there is any risk to access, permitting or social license known at this time.
5.3 Climate
Climatic conditions are continental; characterized by cold winters with snow, and warm summers with moderate precipitations. The temperature ranges between 11°C to 25 °C during the summer and between -10 °C to -25 °C during the winter. July is the warmest month and January the coldest. Total precipitation ranges between 801 mm to 1200 mm per year. The rainiest month is

July with an average of 92 mm and January gets an average of 62 mm of snow. Exploration activities can be undertaken all year long; work is made difficult during transitional seasons where the ground is saturated with water from the melting snow in spring, and before winter when lakes are not frozen.
5.4
Physiography
The Fenn and Gib properties lie within the extensive Abitibi Clay Belt, a continuous flat lying sheet of glaciolacustrine sediments deposited in glacial lakes Barlow and Ojibway as the Laurentide Ice Sheet receded during the Quaternary period approximately 10,000 years ago. A large glaciofluvial deposit, the Munro Esker which flanks the project area rises about 40 m above the clay plain.
Averaging 315 m above the sea level most of the Property is covered by dense alder swamp that supports a thin growth of poorly developed black spruce. Higher parts of the area support a mature growth of black spruce, jackpine, poplar and white birch. Most of the property has little commercial value but the well-drained sands and gravels of the esker support commercially valuable white pine stands. Differences in elevation are not more than 15 m throughout the Property.

6 HISTORY
From its initial discovery and work in 1911 the Fenn-Gib Property has been explored and developed by various operators with the last physical work being performed by Lake Shore in 2017.
6.1 Exploration History 1911-2011
The first project that was developed on the property was the American Eagle Prospect, which was active from 1911 to 1912. It had a 70 ft. shaft, 30 ft. of drifting and 50 ft. of crosscutting. The total recorded production included 54 t milled for a total production of 40 oz of gold. The mineralization occurred in quartz veins and stringers present in a carbonatized greywacke of the Hoyle Assemblage. (ODM 1951).
The Talisman Mine prospect was originally staked in 1919 and 1921 by N. Faulkenham and F. Gardiner. During 1923 and 1924, Gardiner Guibord Mines Limited sank a shaft to a depth of 115 ft. and carried out 500 ft. of lateral development on the 100 ft. level to test narrow gold bearing quartz veins in the Hoyle sediments associated with sericite alteration. The old workings were reopened in 1934 by Talisman Gold Mines Limited and 694 ft. of cross cutting, 30 ft. of raising and 374 ft. of drifting were completed. No gold values are reported. In 1942 the property was acquired by Shareholders Securities Limited.
Other early work was done some time prior to 1944 on a five-claim property called the Quinn claims located at the Fenn-Gib Property boundary along Highway 101. Prospecting and trenching on these claims resulted in the location of a north-easterly trending shear zone with disseminated sulphides, quartz veins and carbonate alteration. This shear is probably what is now called the Skjonsby Zone.
Perron Gold Mines Limited optioned a 17-claim block known as the Hansen-McDonnell property near the center of the current Fenn-Gib Property. In 1948 six diamond drill holes, five of which were abandoned in overburden, were collared approximately 700 m south-west of Guibord Lake. The one hole which reached bedrock penetrated 214 m of unmineralized Hoyle sediments.
A ground magnetic survey and two diamond drill holes totaling 420 m were completed by Canadian Johns Manville Company in 1953-1954 in the north-central portion of the Fenn-Gib Property. These holes encountered altered volcanic rocks cut by syenite dykes.
Between 1964 and 1966, K. E. Skjonsby undertook a program of trenching and diamond drilling on what is now a portion of the Fenn-Gib Property immediately south of Highway 101. The objective of this work was to test the extent of north-easterly trending mineralization encountered on the old Quinn property. Twelve shallow holes totaling 375.2 m were completed. This showing returned up to 28 g/t across narrow intervals (less than 45 cm).
Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines Limited conducted substantial exploration programs in Guibord Township in the mid 1960's. Seven holes totaling 1,825 m were drilled in various parts between 1964 and 1966. One of these holes, G-15, drilled on the west shore of Guibord Lake,

encountered several short intervals of gold mineralization including 2.23 g/t over 0.91 m. This drilling is near the current west limit of the Fenn-Gib Deposit.
The Gib Property (eastern Fenn-Gib) was included in a group of 134 claims that was later reduced to 53 claims staked by Cominco Limited in 1976. A series of work programs including geological and geophysical surveys with overburden and diamond drilling were carried out between 1976 and 1985. The bulk of this work, included 73 overburden holes totaling 2,758 m and 27 diamond drill holes totaling 2,763 m, was carried out on and adjacent to a syenite plug in the south-central portion of the Property. A number of gold intersections, including 3.05 m of 7.54 g/t (average of two assays), 3.94 g/t over 6.13 m and 19.55 g/t over 1.70 m, were returned. Cominco appeared to have lost interest in the project and the Property became dormant after 1985.
Lacana acquired the Fenn Property (western Fenn-Gib) and between 1984 and 1986 conducted geological mapping, trenching, geophysical surveys and almost 4,000 m of diamond drilling. In 1988, Lacana's successor company, Corona Corporation, drilled FE88-10 near the eastern boundary of the Fenn Property, at the core of the Fenn-Gib Deposit. This hole penetrated a 222.51 m section of altered volcanics which averaged 1.63 g/t. Corona tried to option the adjoining Gib property but was unsuccessful.
Both the Gib and Fenn properties were acquired by Normina in the summer of 1993. During 1993 Normina completed ground geophysics and a four-hole 2,306.7 m drill program. Pangea acquired Normina's interest in the property in January 1994. Between 1994 and 1997 Pangea conducted additional ground geophysical surveys and 60,805 m of diamond drilling in 202 holes on both the Fenn and Gib properties. This work resulted in the outlining a low-grade Main Zone (western portion of the Fenn-Gib Deposit) a resource estimate of 8.0 Mt averaging 2.3 g/t using a 1.5 g/t cut-off and several higher-grade lenses in the adjacent Deformation Zone (eastern part of the Fenn-Gib Deposit) (Pangea 1996).
A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify this historical pre-2011 estimate as current mineral resources.
It is not known that this historical mineral resource estimate uses the categories set out in NI 43101. Given the source of the estimates, Mayfair considers them reliable and relevant for the further development of the Project; however, the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current Mineral Resources. The current resource estimate is the subject of Section 14 of this Technical Report.
In 1998, St Andrew optioned the property. St Andrew completed a limited I.P. survey and conducted 1,430 m of drilling in 21 holes in 1998-1999. The St Andrew work concentrated mainly on the Main Zone, outlined previously by Pangea. In 1998, as part of the option agreement, Pangea completed their planned exploration program consisting of 14,090 m of drilling in 69 diamond drill holes.
Pangea performed mining studies between 1999 and 2000 consisting of a block model, a preliminary pit and a geological potential of the zone. Exploration activity focused on the eastern half of the Property, and consisted of line cutting, geophysics and diamond drilling. A total of 76.5 km of line cutting 67.5 km of magnetometer and 29 km of I.P surveying followed by 1,465 m of diamond drilling in five holes.

Barrick purchased Pangea in June of 2000 primarily for its gold assets in Tanzania. Barrick hired Breton, Banville and Associates (BBA) to complete an open-pit economic evaluation on the FennGib Deposit (Live et al. 2005). The authors used an altered version of the MRDI block model. The result was a mineral “reserve” of 3.64 Mt (diluted) at 1.69 g/t using a mill cut-off of 0.9 g/t and assuming a US$450/oz for gold.

Lake Shore acquired the “Highway 101” property from Richmond Minerals Incorporated (Richmond). This property comprises the south-western corner (51.8 ha) of the Fenn-Gib Property. The claims have been held by various companies including Gui-por Gold Mines and Tandem Resources Limited. The most significant result is from C4-1A which intersected 6.7 m of 7 g/t Au at a hole depth of 85 m. Richmond optioned the property to Vendome Resources Corp. in August 2009 and completed a three-hole, 1,200 m drill program in March 2011. Significant values include up to 77.01 g / 0.81 m of silver in VDR-11-1, and 1.02 g / 7.02 m and 1.18 g / 6.0 m of gold in VDR-11-3.

6.2 History 2011
A mineral resource estimate was completed by SGS in 2011 and reported to be 40.8 Mt grading 0.99 g/t in the Indicated category and 24.5 Mt at 0.95 g/t in the Inferred category, is shown in Table 6-3.

The gold price was assumed to be US$1,190 and metallurgical recoveries were assumed to be 85%. Operating costs were assumed to be US$2/tonne for mining costs, US$11/tonne for processing and G&A costs. Conversion of volumes into tonnage used the density of 2.8t/m³. Resources were reported at a cut-off of 0.5g/t for in-pit resources. It also reported below-pit resources at a high cut-off of 1.5g/t which approximates the necessary cut-off for some underground mining.
The Indicated and Inferred mineral resources are historical estimates and use the categories set out in NI 43-101 Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4. These resources have an effective date of October 30, 2011. Given the source of the estimates, Mayfair considers them reliable and relevant for the further development of the Project; however, the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current Mineral Resources. The SGS 2011 resource estimate is superseded by the current resource estimate which is the subject of Section 14 of this Technical Report.

6.3 History 2012-2017
During 2012, exploration activities conducted on the Fenn-Gib Property in the southwest half of Lot 5 Concession VI consisted of diamond drill operations completed by Lake Shore ’s drilling contractors, Norex Drilling Ltd., with 34 drill holes totalling 15,802 m. Reconnaissance mapping and prospecting were also carried out on both the north and south claim blocks during 2012. A total of 291 field samples were collected throughout the program of which 129 were sent for 48 element geochemical analyses and 162 for gold and silver assaying.
During 2014, outcrop investigation and prospecting were carried out by Lake Shore in the FennGib Property north block claims 4272132 and 4258968 (Figure 6-1). A total of three days were spent in the field with 14 samples collected for gold and silver assaying. Representative hand samples from each field sample were collected and catalogued. Petrology of the hand samples was done using a Celestron Binocular Microscope-Professional Model #44206. Carbonate minerals were identified using dilute solutions of Alizarin Red S, Potassium Ferricyanide and 10% hydrochloric acid.

Between late-January and August 2017, a total of 32,013 m of surface definition diamond drilling (NQ) was carried out in 80 holes, including 77 completed and three abandoned/lost holes. Four drill rigs were utilized for the majority of the program. Drill setups were partly facilitated by constructing drill trails and pads from trucked non-acid generating waste rock due to soft and wet ground conditions. The primary purpose of the definition drilling program was to upgrade Inferred resources, representing approximately 35% of the 2011 in-pit resources, to the Indicated category.
Between May and August of 2017, a total of 5,653 m of surface exploration diamond drilling was completed in 14 new holes and one hole deepening. The main purpose of the exploration drilling was to test the regional deformation zone along strike both east and west of the Fenn-Gib Deposit in order to determine if potential exists to expand resources. To the east, the best results were returned from two holes below the eastern edge of the conceptual pit, which included 0.63 g/t over 24.5 m and 0.75 g/t over 22.7 m from FG-17-125 and 1.11 g/t over 30.5 m from FG-17-128. To the west, low grade mineralization was encountered in both the hanging wall sediments (0.47 g/t over 14.0 m from FG-17-126) and footwall mafic volcanics (0.98 g/t over 4.5 m and 1.21 g/t over 5.5 m from FG-17-133).
In addition, during 2017 a surface definition diamond drilling program was conducted on the Fenn-Gib Deposit which included four holes (FG-17-57, FG-17-82, FG-17-91, and FG-17-113) drilled on vertical cross section 558400E (+/- 25 m) These holes were drilled to test the western portion of the Fenn-Gib Main Zone at depth (Figure 6-1). A total of 2,569 m of NQ core was drilled collectively between the four holes.
Holes FG-17-57, -82, and -91 where collared at UTM coordinate: 558400E, 5375010N (NAD 83, Zone 17), at an elevation of 313 m above sea level. Azimuths and dips were between 355° to 357° and - 50° to -55° respectively. The tops of these three holes consists mainly of a thick package of unaltered and moderately to strongly sericite-ankerite altered sediments (bedded greywacke-mudstone) with minor 3 to 20 m wide intermediate dykes. Hole FG-17-113 was collard at UTM coordinate: 558400E, 5375150N (NAD 83, Zone 17) at an elevation of 314 m a.sl., with an azimuth and dip of 358° and -62° respectively, and a final depth of 720 m. The top of the hole consists of alternating intervals of the sediments and intermediate dykes mentioned above, and a deformation zone comprising faults, structures, and high strain shears.
The target area was intersected at depth between 306 and 441 m in FG-17-57, -82, and -91 in a deformation zone (faults, shears, cataclastites) and altered mafic volcanics, both with strong pyrite mineralization. In FG-17-113 the target area was intersected between 200 and 300 m mainly in altered mafic volcanics and syenite porphyry with strong pyrite mineralization. Hole FG17-113 continued to intersect mineralized intervals adjacent to and below the Fenn-Gib Main Zone to a depth of 649 m.
The 2017 diamond drilling successfully identified mineralization 200 to 440 m below the FennGib Main Zone in the western portion of the Fenn-Gib conceptual pit. The observed mineralized intervals are very similar to those in the resource and occur in a broad deformation zone and moderately to strongly ankerite-albite altered mafic volcanics with pyrite being the primary sulphide. The best intercepts, reported using estimated true widths, include 2.32 g/t Au over 21.6 m from FG-17-57, 0.57 g/t Au over 62.8 m from FG-17-82, 1.07 g/t Au over73.9 m from FG-1791, and 0.70 g/t Au over 121 m (incl. 1.77 g/t over 11.5 m) from FG-17-113.
These results confirm the presence of a mineralized zone at depth in the western portion of the Fenn-Gib Main Zone.

Initial 2017 metallurgical test-work consisted of gravity and gravity tailings cyanidation on 14 composite samples (½ cut NQ drill core) collected from deeper portions of the western/main part of the resource, with head grades ranging from 0.35 g/t to 1.22 g/t (average 0.69 g/t) Testing shows a wide range in gold recoveries from 37.1% to 88.7% (average 72.2%) at a 75 micron feed size (i.e. similar to Bell Creek) and a 48 hour retention time. There is no clear correlation between recovery and sample head grade, rock type, mineralization domain, etc., and in part this has influenced the decision not to proceed with pit optimization (see above). A gold deportment study involving mineralogical studies and diagnostic leach testing was completed at SGS.
6.3.1 Exploration Targets
A desktop review had been carried out on several early-stage exploration targets on the FennGib Property including: 1) American Eagle; 2) G-101; 3) Central Syenite; 4) Horseshoe Zone; 5) Canamax Zone; 6) Perry Lake Prospect; and 7) South Block. The location of the exploration targets on the Fenn-Gib Property are shown below in Figure 6-2.

6.3.1.1 American Eagle
The American Eagle target area is located north of Highway 101 at the west margin of the North Block, approximately three kilometers northwest of the Fenn-Gib Deposit.
The historic American Eagle Mine consisted of a 21.3 m shaft with a 9.1 m drift and a 15.2 m cross-cut. The mine was active between 1911 and 1912, with a total of 54 t of ore mined and milled and 40 oz of gold produced. Gold was reportedly recovered from quartz veins and stringers in carbonatized clastic sediments (wacke). In 1950, Broulan Porcupine Gold Mines drilled a number of holes around the target area that intersected the sedimentary-mafic volcanic contact and numerous vein and/or stringer systems with anomalous gold values, both within the sediments and mafic volcanics.
The American Eagle target is situated on/near the west-northwest striking Pipestone Fault (i.e. same structure which hosts the Fenn-Gib Deposit). In July 2012, Lake Shore geologists investigated and sampled several outcrops proximal to the American Eagle Mine in order to characterize the alteration and mineralization within the sediments at surface. An outcrop ridge running diagonally across claim L52228 was examined to locate contacts between sedimentary, mafic volcanic and felsic intrusive rocks as well as to determine if these rocks share lithogeochemical affinities with similar rock types at the Fenn-Gib Deposit. A total of 39 samples were collected from outcrop and sent for whole rock lithogeochemical analysis and gold assays. The analysis revealed the samples to be of several rock types, primarily calc- alkaline clastic sediments, plus tholeiitic to calc-alkaline felsic intrusive rocks, and minor tholeiitic mafic volcanics and tholeiitic ultramafic volcanics generally of similar affinity to rocks at the Fenn-Gib Deposit. Gold values range from <0.005 – 1 g/t with the majority being < 0.005 g/t and an overall average of 1.09 g/t. The relatively high average for the samples is due to one very high-grade sample, which returned 42.0 g/t.
Copies of the drill logs for the 1950’s drilling by Broulan Porcupine have not been located. It was recommended that an exhaustive search should be made for the drill logs, and a field visit be carried out in order to collect structural data on any exposed veins/stringers and to locate any historical drill collars. Until such time it is not possible to carry out a proper evaluation of this particular target.
6.3.1.2 G-101 (HWY 101)
The G-101 (previously called HWY 101) target area is located in the west part of the North Block approximately 1.6 km southwest of the Fenn-Gib Deposit.
Geologically the area is underlain entirely by clastic sediments. Between 1995 and 1996, a total of 24 diamond drill holes, totaling 5,502 m were drilled on the target area as part of a Tandem Resources - NAR Resources joint venture. The drill program was designed to investigate VLFEM and IP geophysical anomalies. On the regional aeromagnetic map, the area lies entirely within a large magnetic low with no discernable magnetic features. The interpreted strike of the target based on the drilling is east- northeast (065°). Drilling tested a 300 m strike length and to a maximum vertical depth of 395 m, with holes lengths ranging from 118 to 511 m.
The holes were drilled entirely in sediments which are cut by quartz-carbonate veins, and lamprophyre and diabase dykes. Several of the holes intersected fault and shear zones of

variable thickness, ranging from 30 cm up to 61 m, accompanied by numerous fracture and breccia zones that hosted most of the significant gold values. These zones are strongly carbonatized, sericitized, silicified and pyritized. A review of drill cross sections by Tahoe geologists indicates that correlating the mineralized zones and determining dip angles from section to section is problematic due to discontinuity.
The best drill intersection was in hole C4-3 which returned 4.47 g/t over a core length of 13.2 m, including 13.56 g/t over 2.77 m. Significant gold values were returned in drill holes along strike of the target and adjacent to C4-3 but, as mentioned above, the intersections cannot be correlated from section to section or even from hole to hole due to drastic changes in formational dips, faults, shear and breccia zones, dykes and the overall structural complexity of the target area.
One concern noted when reviewing the historical drill data is that sampling was very selective, and significant portions of the holes (including adjacent to mineralized intervals) were not sampled. This raises the possibility that some of the mineralized zones may in fact be wider than reported as there were no assay “shoulders”.
The grade and width of the mineralization encountered in hole C4-3 (4.47 g/t over a core length of 13.2 m) is intriguing, although the drill log for the hole indicates that at least some of the mineralized veins in the internal are subparallel to the core axis. A detailed review of the drill logs, assay results and cross sections is recommended as an initial next step. Particular attention should be paid to core angles recorded on the mineralized veins in order to determine if a dominant trend is evident and to confirm whether the zone was drilled correctly. If the drill core still exists and can be salvaged, relogging and additional sampling is recommended. A small but focused drill program utilizing a borehole televiewer or oriented drill core may be warranted if results of the data review are encouraging
6.3.1.3 Central Syenite
The Central Syenite target area is located approximately 1.6 km southeast of the Fenn-Gib Deposit in the central portion of the North Block.
Between 1978 and 2002, a total of 24 diamond drill holes, totaling 4,140 m were drilled on the target area: 1) Cominco 1978-1985, 18 holes for 2,696m; and 2) Pangea 1995 and 2002, six holes for 1,444 m. The Cominco drill program primarily tested the western syenite-sediment contact and was a follow-up on anomalous gold values recovered from earlier reverse circulation (“RC”) overburden drilling. The diamond drilling tested a 550 m northwest-southeast strike length and to a maximum vertical depth of 160 m. The Pangea drill program was designed to locate the sediment-volcanic contact, investigate geophysical anomalies interpreted to show a possible shear zone, possible gold-bearing syenites, and/or alteration zones. The drilling tested a 400 m north-south strike length and to a maximum vertical depth of 250 m.
The Central Syenite target area is underlain by clastic sediments, mafic volcanics, syenite, feldspar porphyry, gabbro and lamprophyre dykes. Mineralization is hosted in the sediments, mafic volcanics and syenites.
The significant drill intersections from Cominco’s drilling were 3.42 g/t over a core length of 2.70 m from G-78- 7, 3.94 g/t over 6.13 m from G-80-1, 19.55 g/t over 1.70 m from G-82-1, and 10.50 g/t over 1.00 m from G-85-7. However, the log for G-85-7 reports this interval as having mm-

scale quartz-carbonate veinlets that are parallel to the core axis indicating that the mineralized interval is likely much less than one meter wide. A brief review of drill cross sections and a plan view by Tahoe geologists indicates that Cominco’s best results were within sediments or near the sediment-syenite contact.
The significant drill intersections for Pangea were in G-95-100 which returned 3.75 g/t over a core length of 3.00 m, and G-95-109 which returned 2.69 g/t over a core length of 1.95 m. These results were in weakly to moderately silicified and albitized mafic volcanics with widespread quartz-calcite veining.
In August 2012, Lake Shore geologists carried out a field exploration program in the Central Syenite target area to investigate ground conditions and suitability for drilling. At the same time an attempt was made to locate historic drill collars, which unfortunately was not successful. The field program determined the area is essentially a floating bog, and that a winter drill program is the only appropriate option for the area.
The information provided above for the Cominco drill programs was derived from several Pangea reports (1994-2002) as Tahoe does not have copies of the original Cominco reports. In addition, drill logs have not been located and Cominco assay results have not been input into a digital database. This lack of primary information makes interpretation of Cominco’s drill program difficult. In order to carry out a proper assessment of the Central Syenite target, it is recommended to search for copies of the Cominco reports, ensure all drilling data has been input into the database, and carry out a thorough compilation, review and interpretation of historical results in order to determine if additional work, including diamond drilling, is warranted.
6.3.1.4 Horseshoe Zone
The Horseshoe Zone is located immediately north (~ 150 m) of Highway 101, approximately 500 m west of the Fenn-Gib Deposit. The showing was discovered by Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. (“Constantine”) in mid-2012. They reported that the zone comprises a series of small isolated outcrops covering an area measuring 75 m long (north-south) by 55 m wide (east-west), and that the outcrops are “pervasively gold mineralized and silica – pyrite ± albite ± magnetite altered.” Constantine noted several similarities with the Fenn-Gib Deposit including: 1) the bulk-tonnage tenor of the gold mineralization (0.5-1.5 g/t Au); 2) an approximately 1:1 gold to silver ratio; and 3) gold primarily associated with disseminated pyrite in altered variolitic volcanics. Nine representative grab samples collected by Constantine returned from 0.14-1.27 g/t gold. Planned stripping and channel sampling was never completed, and the zone has not been previously drilltested.
Tahoe Canada geologists made a one-day site visit to the Horseshoe Zone in mid-August 2017 and confirmed the location and general nature of the alteration (silicification ± albitization) and mineralization (disseminated pyrite). Their first impressions based on the limited area of outcrop, is that the mineralized (pyritic) zones are generally narrow (< 1m) and are not part of a significantly large and continuous alteration system. The outcrop which returned the highest grade assay (Constantine – 1.27 g/t) appears to form part of a very old hand trench. A narrow (< 0.5 m) rusty zone containing pyrite strikes generally E-W (075-080°) and appears vertical. A fairly large N-S striking diabase dyke is exposed in the eastern area of outcrop. Four grab samples collected during the site visit have returned gold values in the range 0.067 to 1.005 g/t (average 0.47 g/t), generally comparable to Constantine’s results. At the present time it appeared that mineralization at the Horseshoe Zone is generally similar to mineralized zones routinely

encountered within the footwall mafic volcanics located north of the deposit, as well as along strike to the west.
Overburden in this particular area appears quite shallow, and B-horizon soil geochemistry sampling may be effective in detecting underlying mineralization. A limited orientation soil survey (total of 50-60 samples) with one line positioned directly over the showing area, and two additional lines located 100 m to the east and west was recommended. If results are favorable, the survey area should be expanded along strike to the east and west.
6.3.1.5 Canamax Zone
The Canamax Zone is located in the extreme north-central part of the North Block, approximately three kilometers north-northeast of the Fenn-Gib Deposit. Prospecting in this area dates back to the 1920’s and 1930’s where surface work (hand trenches, pits, etc.) exposed outcrops of strongly altered ultramafic flows (komatiites) and rarer tholeiitic mafic volcanics with associated quartz veins and locally disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite mineralization. More recently (primarily 1980’s-1990s) the area was covered by geological mapping, prospecting, ground geophysical surveys (magnetics, HLEM, IP-resistivity), and in 2008 it was covered by an airborne VTEM survey by Constantine.
The Canamax Zone is located on the Monroe Fault, an east-southeast (115°) striking regional structure that generally parallels the Pipestone Fault (3 km to the south) in this area. It occurs at the contact between mafic volcanics to the north and altered komatiites to the south. The structure/contact zone is marked by deformation (brecciation and shearing) and a graphiticchloritic lapilli tuff unit. Mineralization is hosted by the altered komatiites and graphitic-chloritic lapilli tuffs, and forms two well-defined brecciated to sheared and commonly quartz-veined zones. The zone(s) generally contain 2-10% fine disseminated pyrite and trace-1% disseminated to semi-massive bands or patches of arsenopyrite.
Since the late 1980’s, a total of 13 diamond drill holes, totaling 3,550.7 m have been completed on the Canamax Zone: 1) Canamax Resources 1986, four holes for 1,116.0 m; 2) Canamax Resources 1987, three holes for 585.0 m; 3) American Barrick, three holes for 976.5 m; and 4) Constantine 2011, three holes for 873.2 m – latter excluding two abandoned holes due to poor azimuth). Drilling has tested the zone along a one-kilometer strike length and locally to a vertical depth of 325 m.
Although multiple drill holes have encountered anomalous gold, overall intersections have generally been narrow and low grade. The best drilling result prior to Constantine’s 2011 drilling was 2.28 g/t over 4.0 m (core length) in Canamax Resources’ hole 081-01-07. American Barrick’s drilling in 1990 indicated that instead of the previously interpreted steep north-dipping structure/stratigraphy, the dip is actually steep south and that there are two subparallel mineralized zones instead of a single zone. A brief review of the drill cross sections by Tahoe geologists supports this interpretation, with two zones located approximately 30 m apart – a broader (15-25 m) North Zone and a narrower (≤ 10 m) South Zone – both dipping 80° south. Assay results from Barracks’ drilling were low, with best assays in the range of 1.0-1.30 g/t over 0.4-1.0 m.
According to Constantine, all three of their 2011 drill holes “intersected robust carbonate ± silica ± fuchsite alteration with gold values.” They reported anomalous/low grade gold over significantly wide intervals in two zones from hole CMX11-01 including 0.34 g/t over a core length of 18.25 m

(126.95 – 145.20 m, Zone I) and 0.30 g/t over 25.50 m (Zone II). However, a review of the individual sample assays shows that significant portions of these intervals returned negligible gold values and that there has been a “smearing” of results. For example, only ~ 25% of the interval for Zone I returned gold values ≥ 0.35 g/t Au with the remaining 75% returning negligible gold. The highest grade intersection encountered during the 2011 drilling was 3.97 g/t over a core length of 0.95 m. Constantine also completed surface trenching in two areas (Main Trench and North Trench), and despite significant exposed alteration (particularly in the main trench), gold assays are generally quite low.
Based on a review of previous work and results, no additional work was recommended on the Canamax Zone at the present time. Mineralization encountered in previous drilling has generally been narrow and relatively low grade, and the strike extent of the zone appears to be limited by the property boundary to the west and a weakening of the alteration system (indicated by drilling) to the east.
6.3.1.6 Perry Lake Prospect
The Perry Lake prospect is located in the extreme eastern part of the North Block approximately five kilometers east-southeast of the Canamax Zone and six kilometers east of the Fenn-Gib Deposit.
Between 2003 and 2011, a total of eleven (11) DDH’s totaling 2,077.3 m were drilled at the prospect: 1) St. Andrew Goldfields 2003, five holes for 507.0 m (including one abandoned hole); 2) St. Andrew Goldfields 2004, three holes for 491.5 m; 3) Constantine 2007, one hole for 298.0 m; and 4) Constantine 2011, two holes for 780.8 m.
Host rocks at the Perry Lake prospect comprise mafic volcanics and ultramafic rocks (peridotites and komatiites) which are cut by diabase dykes. Locally the rocks are sheared and contain variable amounts of quartz-carbonate veining with pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. The shear/structural zone(s) may occur entirely within the mafic volcanics, or at the contact between mafic volcanics and ultramafics. A brief review of drill cross section 1300E by Tahoe geologists indicated that the main shear/mineralized zone has a moderate 50° dip to the south.
The Perry Lake prospect has been tested by diamond drilling along a 300 m strike length and to a maximum vertical depth of 200 m. Only a single cross section (1300E) has multiple drill holes, with all other sections having only a single relatively short hole.
The best drill intersection was in St. Andrew Goldfields’ hole FC-03-02 which returned 6.42 g/t over a core length of 1.87 m. Additional drilling down dip and along strike of this intersection failed to encounter any mineralization of similar grade. Other drill intersections are generally of lower grade and in the range of 0.50-1.50 g/t over 0.50-4.0 m. Based on these results, the target was considered low- priority and no additional work was recommended at the time.
6.3.1.7 South Block
The South Block covers a prospective seven-kilometer strike length of the Destor-Porcupine fault zone (DPFZ). Significant gold mineralization associated with the DPFZ occurs along strike to both the west (Kirkland Lake Gold’s Hislop Mine; McEwen Mining’s Black Fox Mine, Grey Fox

Deposit and recently discovered Froome Zone) and east (Moneta Porcupine’s Windjammer, Southwest, Gap and 55 Zones; Osisko Mining’s Garrcon and Jonpol Deposits).
Outcrop exposure throughout the South Block is generally poor with outcrops being restricted mostly to isolated areas. The area is underlain by a variety of lithologies including clastic sediments, mafic volcanics, ultramafics - including komatiites, quartz monzonite, feldspar porphyry, syenite, lamprophyre, diabase dykes and rarely kimberlite. Gold mineralization has reportedly been encountered in the sediments, mafic volcanics, quartz monzonite, ultramafics and syenites.
A review of historical assessment reports indicates that approximately 45 DDH’s targeting gold were drilled on the South Block between 1947 and 1989: 1) Dominion Gulf 1947, six holes; 2) Hollinger Consolidated 1965, seven holes; 3) Armco-Kerr 1983, seven holes; 4) ASARCO 1985, two holes; 5) Homestake Mineral Development 1988-1989, 23 holes). These drilling programs investigated a range of reverse circulation overburden drilling, geochemical and geophysical anomalies. Drilling was largely focused on a 4.5 km strike length extending from the central to eastern part of the claim block. No further exploration for gold took place after 1989. Instead, exploration efforts shifted to diamond exploration with the recognition of small isolated kimberlite diatremes. Between 1990 and 1998, Tandem Resources – Homestake drilled approximately 45 diamond drill holes focused in small areas targeting these kimberlites.
The best drill results (targeting gold) noted in the historical assessment reports was from Homestake hole HS-88-3 which returned 3.03 g/t over a core length of 1.5 m, and Hollinger Consolidated hole G-18 (adjacent to HS-88-3) which returned 4.14 g/t over 0.9 m.
Between June and August 2012, Lake Shore geologists carried out reconnaissance geological mapping, prospecting and rock sampling on a centrally located outcrop, referred to here as the “Central Outcrop”, where visible gold had been previously documented. A very large outcrop to the west of the Central Outcrop was also mapped and sampled. A total of 55 rock samples were collected, with 48 analyzed for whole rock lithogeochemistry and all 55 for gold assays. Geochemical analysis revealed the majority of the rocks to be tholeiitic mafic volcanics and calcalkaline felsic intrusives. No significant gold values were returned.
A limited amount of historical DDH data (48 holes) for the South Block has been imported into a digital DDH database, however insufficient time had been available to fully compile all the data. Consequently, a full review and compilation of all existing data (including RC and DDH results) was recommended.
6.4 History 2018-Current
Lake Shore is a subsidiary of Pan American and was acquired when Pan American bought Tahoe on February 12, 2019 whereas Tahoe had acquired Lake Shore on February 10, 2016.
On June 8, 2020, the Company entered into a binding asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Lake Shore, amended on November 13, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire 21 fee simple patented properties, 144 unpatented mining claims, and 153 patented leasehold mining claims located in the Guibord, Munro, Michaud and McCool Townships in northeast Ontario, Canada (collectively, the Fenn-Gib Project). As consideration for the acquisition of the Fenn-Gib Property (the

7 GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND MINERALIZATION
7.1 Regional Geology
The Fenn-Gib Property is located in the southern portion of the Abitibi Sub-province, which is part of the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. The Abitibi Sub-province is principally composed of volcanic and sedimentary assemblages that have generally been metamorphosed to greenschist facies and intruded by late tectonic plutons of tonalite and trondhjemite affinity. The property area is underlain by rocks of the Hoyle sedimentary Assemblage and the KiddMunro volcanic Assemblage and lies on the northern portion of the Blake River Synclinorium and approximately two kilometers north of the of the Porcupine-Destor Fault (Figure 7-1).
The Hoyle Assemblage, a sedimentary package, consists of feldspathic wackes, argillites, siltstone and conglomerate. The Kidd-Munro Assemblage, a volcanic package, consists of mafic to ultramafic basalts, with peridotitic to basaltic komatiite and minor rhyolite tuff. Both assemblages are considered to be north facing and conformable but appear to be in an unconformable relationship in Guibord Township. This unconformity is represented by the Contact Fault, deformation, various intermediate and felsic intrusions.
The main structural features of the area are the Blake River Synclinorium, the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone and the Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault Zone. The fault zones are respectively located on the north and south limbs of the synclinorium. These structures were formed during the Kenoran Orogeny, a period of north-south compression. The Blake River Synclinorium forms a steeply dipping structure with a south-east to east trend. It consists of successive isoclinally folded strata with an east-west fabric. The two main breaks are high strain zones characterized by moderate to strong shearing, brecciation, carbonate alteration and quartz veining. The break is the preferred site of intrusion of a variety of granitoid rocks and mafic dykes with associated gold mineralization. It appears that all known major gold deposits in the southern Abitibi are located within a few kilometers of these two fault zones (Figure 7-2). Within the vicinity of the Fenn-Gib Property the Porcupine-Destor fault Zone occurs as a "z-shaped" sigmoidal structure that splits into three branches. Both extremities of the "z-shaped" structure are east-west trending while the central portion is more south-easterly trending. Due to poor exposure, the sense and magnitude of displacement along these structure in the Fenn-Gib Property area is unknown but based on more regional information it is thought to mainly be vertical. In the Timmins area where it is well exposed, a sinistral strike-slip movement with a vertical component is reported whereby the south block moved up relative to the north block (Berger 2002).

Stratigraphic assemblages located on both sides of the Destor-Porcupine Break System display prehnite-pumpellyite facies metamorphism. Locally, these rocks were affected by contact metamorphism caused by the late emplacement of alkali syenite stocks and the rise of the lake Abitibi and Round Lake Batholiths. Contact aureoles of albite-epidote-hornblende are developed in the volcanic rocks surrounding the region’s alkalic intrusions, and alkali metasomatism is common, particularly where rocks are sheared along the Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone. Towards the Lake Abitibi Batholith, the metamorphic grade gradually increases from sub-greenschist to lower, middle and upper greenschist facies to eventually reach amphibole facies at the contact.
7.1.1 Property Geology
The Property is underlain by the dominantly volcanic Kidd-Munro Assemblage to the north and the dominantly sedimentary Hoyle Assemblage to the south. The two sequences are juxtaposed
PAGE 7-3

along the Contact Fault, an east-west to south-east trending shear zone, which is interpreted to be a splay of the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone. Within the property the Contact Fault is characterized by brittle deformation accompanied by intense carbonatization and silicification. Rocks from both assemblages were intruded by a variety of late intrusive rock including syenite and granitoid plugs and dykes, lamprophyre dykes and diabase dykes (Figure 7-3). A threekilometer long, by 100 to 200 m wide mafic intrusive complex intrudes the Kidd-Munro Assemblage at or near its southern contact.
All lithologic units in and adjacent to the deformation zone are moderately to intensely altered. This alteration persists for a distance north and south of the fault outlining a major alteration halo at least two kilometers in length and 500 m wide. A variety of alteration styles occur within the broad alteration halo including silicification, albitization, potash metasomatism, carbonatization, sericitization, chloritization and hematization. Mariposite occurrences are widespread within the deformation zone. Sulphide mineralization, chiefly pyrite, occurs as disseminations and fracture fillings in concentrations ranging from trace to 15% in association with the more strongly altered areas. Gold is commonly associated with the sulphide mineralization especially in areas of coincident silicification and albitization.

Several styles of gold mineralization are recognized in the Fenn-Gib Property area. The most common type of gold mineralization recognized to date consists of quartz-carbonate veins, stringers and breccias hosted within intensely altered volcanic rocks and granitoid intrusions (Fenn-Gib Deposit). A second style is gold associated with intensely altered sediments with variable fine crystalline pyrite within and in the hanging wall to the Deformation Zone. A third style

==> picture [149 x 17] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [68 x 64] intentionally omitted <==
of gold mineralization is associated with alteration, shearing and sulphides in NNE trending structures.
7.1.2 Kidd-Munro Assemblage
The Kidd-Munro Assemblage consists of iron rich tholeiitic flows interlayered with komatiitic flows and peridotite sills. Tholeiitic flows are medium to dark green, aphanitic to medium crystalline and include pillow lavas, flow top breccias and variolitic lavas. Komatiitic flows are dark green and consist of fine crystalline and massive serpentine rich rocks usually altered to talc-chlorite. These units are generally east-west trending, interpreted to be north facing, and dip gently to the south at 45[o] to 55[o] .
The Kidd-Munro Assemblage is host to a highly magnetic mafic intrusive body. This intrusion is 100 to 200 m wide with a strike length of greater than two kilometers inferred from diamond drilling and geophysical data. It consists of a biotitic gabbro with minor peridotite and komatiitic flows. The magnetic map suggests that the mineralization is associated with this intrusion. The magnetism is likely a function of excess Fe taking the form of magnetite during the serpentinization and chloritization of olivine and pyroxene in the ultramafic rocks. The southern contact of the intrusion is truncated by the Contact fault while the northern contact with its volcanic host is often gradual and typically marked by syenitic dyklets.
7.1.3 Hoyle Assemblage
The Hoyle Assemblage consists mainly of turbiditic greywackes interlayered with argillites and occasionally conglomerates. Greywackes are generally massive, medium grey to grey green in color whereas the argillites are dark grey to black, massive or finely laminated. Beds dip steeply to the south and are interpreted to be north-facing, based on well-developed upward fining cycles, cross bedding and rip-up clasts. Within the Deformation Zone of the Fenn-Gib Deposit, the Hoyle sedimentary package is the main host for gold mineralization, and two historic mines occur on the property within this unit (American Eagle and Talisman). Mineralization within this unit tends to be far more localized within veins as opposed to the broad disseminations observed in the volcanic rocks to the north.

7.1.4 Late Intrusive Dykes
Several generations and compositions of late dykes and sills intrude the deformation zone as well as the Hoyle and Kidd-Munro Assemblages. The various rock types form an elongated eaststriking intrusion that is vari-textured, pegmatitic and aplitic in the west and becomes more equigranular, homogenous and mafic (diorite to gabbro) to the east. The intrusion progressively widens eastward from approximately 150 m to greater than 1,000 m and becomes more felsic to the south. Syenite and lamprophyre dikes extend up to 800 m west of the intrusion but are most abundant near the west contact of the intrusion with the Kidd-Munro assemblage (in the vicinity of the Fenn-Gib Deposit). The alkalic rocks display an intrusive contact with the Kidd-Munro assemblage. Greenstone xenoliths occur in the intrusion near the contact. There is a narrow contact-metamorphic aureole developed along the north side of the intrusion (Berger 2002). The

Deformation Zone represents the preferential site of intrusion of five of these late intrusive dykes. The different lithological types of late intrusive rocks are described in MPH Consulting report on the Fenn-Gib Property as follows:
-
Grey Syenite: These dykes are medium grey colored, siliceous, fine crystalline to aphanitic with occasional tiny white feldspar phenocrysts. They are generally well mineralized with pyrite (trace-10%) and are gold bearing. This unit is generally highly fractured and sheared due to its position within the Deformation Zone.
-
Feldspar Porphyry: Two types of feldspar porphyry are recognized. The first one consists of a 10 to 15 m wide body intruding the Hoyle sediments south of the Deformation Zone. This unit has abundant often well-zoned euhedral to subhedral feldspar phenocrysts up to l cm in diameter in a sericitized light grey groundmass. This unit is not affected by deformation and is barren. The second type of feldspar porphyry is a unit which marks the north contact of the Deformation Zone. It contains 3% to 10% white feldspar phenocrysts (<1 mm) in a fine crystalline siliceous groundmass which has been variably carbonatized, sericitized and locally hematized. It is light olive green to buff beige in color and is generally not gold bearing.
-
Orange Syenite: Orange to red porphyritic to megacrystic syenite dykes and dykelets cut the volcanic flows and intrusive complex of the Kidd-Munro Assemblage. They are not noted in the Hoyle sediments and only rarely noted within the Deformation Zone. Within the volcanics, they occur as single injections up to 20 m wide and as swarm-like injections up to l m wide. They are interpreted to be late and often have a sharp but low-angled contact with the volcanics. They generally dip 45[o] to 55[o] in the volcanics and steepen to about 70[o] in the Deformation Zone. The orange syenite dykes are thought to be closely related to gold mineralization in the Main Zone, since their contacts with the volcanics are often enriched in gold (1-8 g/t).
-
Ferro-Diorite: This unit is primarily encountered in the eastern portion of the Deformation Zone. It consists of whitish, aphanitic, feldspathic groundmass speckled with up to 10% black magnetite. It often has significant gold mineralization over narrow widths.
-
Intermediate Dyke: The intermediate dyke is fine crystalline to aphanitic and often pervasively altered by carbonatization, sericitization and silicification. It is light green to beige in color and generally massive.
-
Lamprophyre: The lamprophyre is a massive light grey to brick red dyke characterized by the presence of 3 to 8% biotite phenocrysts in a moderately to strongly carbonatized groundmass. It is weakly to moderately magnetic and usually barren of mineralization. Thinsection study of the lamprophyre dykes and altered intermediate dykes shows that the two rocks are related and of syenitic origin.

The link between the various felsic intrusive and gold mineralization has not been independently tested by either Lake Shore or SGS Geostat. Over the course of the estimation process, an attempt was made to model the individual felsic units within and between sections. This proved impossible due to the chaotic nature of these rocks. Any future three dimensional lithological models may have to lump units together. This would be appropriate because several of these units appear to be cogenetic and represent lateral evolution within the same intrusions.
7.2 Mineralization
7.2.1 Introduction
Significant concentrations of gold mineralization on the Fenn-Gib Property occur within two zones: 1) the Main Zone, and 2) the Deformation Zone. These two zones overlap completely and are referred herein as the Fenn-Gib Deposit and are shown in Figure 7-6.

The Main Zone is a broad zone of disseminated gold mineralization up to 250 m wide with grades for gold between 0.50 to 3.00 g/t. Massive, pillowed and variolitic basalts crop out and can be seen in diamond-drill core from holes collared near Highway 101. Hydrothermally altered variolitic basalts are the principal hosts of the Main Zone mineralization. These basalts were affected by pervasive and vein silicification, carbonatization, albitization, pervasive but weak hematization, and vein sericitization. Syenite and lamprophyre dikes intruded the basalts and are locally mineralized. Pyrite is the main sulphide mineral and occurs as disseminations and in veins, locally up to 50%, over narrow intervals (average 5 to 10%) (Berger 2002).
The Deformation Zone contains narrower and higher-grade intersections associated with altered sediments, intermediate dykes and grey syenite. Gold mineralization is associated with pyrite either in quartz healed breccias or as very fine disseminations. It has been interpreted that the Contact Fault acted as a channel for gold bearing hydrothermal fluids and is host to the Deformation Zone and the southern boundary of the Main Zone.
A diatreme breccia was encountered in diamond-drill core in the southeast part of the property. This breccia is associated with anomalous gold mineralization and represents another exploration target on the Pangea Property. Rocks in this area are ultrapotassic; pseudoleucite bearing and associated with fluorite.
Two historic mines were operated in the early 1900s within quartz-carbonate veins in the Hoyle sediments. Little is known about these deposits, in terms of grade and control on mineralization.

7.2.2 Main Zone
The Main Zone comprises the western part of the Fenn-Gib Deposit and makes up the bulk of the tonnage. Most of the mineralization lies west of a late diabase dyke at 1525E. It comprises a broad area of disseminated gold mineralization containing higher grade lenses and shoots. At the east and west extremities of the zone the mineralization breaks up into a number of narrow finger-like lenses. Diamond drilling on 25 m centers has delineated the zone to a depth of 300 m (Figure 7-6). A few deep holes have demonstrated that a portion of this zone does extend to at least 600 m vertically below surface.
Geologically, the Main Zone comprises a series of east-west striking, vertical to steeply south dipping massive to variolitic basalts lying near the western nose of an intrusive gabbro body. In this area the basalt has been intruded and intensely altered by a swarm of syenite dykes. The basalt, syenite and gabbro have in turn been intruded by lamprophyre and diabase dykes. The northern boundary of the zone is a series of chloritic basalts while the southern boundary is marked by highly altered and strained rocks related to the contact fault. The mineralization is hosted in albitized and silicified variolitic mafic volcanic rocks, syenite dykes and quartz veins. Pyrite is present in the altered rocks and averages up to 12% (Figure 7-5 and Figure 7-7). Magnetite is common in the syenite and altered mafic volcanics.
Early exploration of the Main Zone interpreted the mineralization to be contained within a series of stacked veins but recognized the possibility that some of the gold mineralization may be related to north-northeast trending structures. Several holes were completed drilling to the west to test this hypothesis. Although a number of drill holes encountered mineralization along the western edge of a syenite complex orientated in a general north-northeast direction the overall results of this east-west drilling were inconclusive (Brown 2002).
7.2.3 Deformation Zone
The Deformation Zone comprises the eastern and southern parts of the Fenn-Gib Deposit. Mineralization extends over a length of 1.2 km and is hosted within highly strained and altered rocks associated with the contact fault. The mineralization is contained within a series of lenses that strike east-west, dip vertically or steeply to the south and plunge to the southeast. The Deformation Zone mineralization has been tested by diamond drilling to approximately 300 m below surface and sporadically below 300 m to a maximum of 600 m below surface (Figure 7-6). There is a gap in near surface mineralization; however, drilling suggests that gold mineralization is connected at depth (Figure 7-6).
The Deformation Zone is marked by hydrothermal alteration. The alteration is more pervasive and widespread in the sediments to the south than in the volcanic package to the north. As a result, the gold mineralization is more extensive within the Hoyle sediments than in the KiddMunro volcanic rocks.
The hanging wall of the Deformation Zone consists of moderately to strongly microfractured and brecciated sediments affected by pervasive silicification, carbonatization and sericitization. Gold mineralization is associated with disseminated pyrite but is more commonly concentrated in pyritic quartz-healed breccias and quartz-carbonate stringers. Cataclasites can occur as mineralized lenses which have been transposed along fault planes. These lenses are also cut by late barren lamprophyre dykes. The Deformation Zone has been interpreted to vary in width from

less than 20 m to locally greater than 75 m, on average it is 40 to 50 m wide, and is host to a wide variety of syn- to post-mineralization dykes. The hanging wall or south contact of the Deformation Zone is marked by either a lamprophyre or intermediate dyke, which is often barren. The footwall or north contact of the Deformation Zone is almost invariably marked by a buff-beige feldspar porphyry dyke (Figure 7-7). Lesser amounts of grey syenite and ferro-diorite have also been noted within the Deformation Zone. Dykes account for anywhere 40% to 80% of the width of the Deformation Zone, with the remainder of the zone comprised of strongly altered and sheared rocks interpreted to be sediments (Brown 2002).

8 DEPOSIT TYPES
Four major types of gold deposits are recognized in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. Robert and Poulsen (1997) identified three major types and Berger and Amelin (1998) have suggested a fourth. In order of the timing of development, these deposit types are synvolcanic and synsedimentary deposits, syenite - associated deposits, syntectonic mesothermal vein deposits, and remobilized post-tectonic vein deposits.
Synvolcanic deposits include VMS related gold deposits with ocean floor alteration and replacement facies and are represented primarily by the Horne Deposit in Quebec. Synsedimentary deposition of gold is considered to be at least one important factor localizing gold in the Aunor and Dome Deposits of the Timmins camp. These early mineralizing events sparked interest in volcanic and sedimentary processes.
Syntectonic plutons, intruded near regional-scale shear zones, became the focus of exploration and research due to their close spatial relationships with some gold deposits. Mineralizing fluids are interpreted to have been derived from the plutons during emplacement. Numerous examples of this type of deposit can be found in the Abitibi, including at least one phase of mineralization at the Aunor and Dome Deposits, as well as deposits associated with the Bourlamaque pluton of the Val D'Or district, the Kerr-Addison Deposit, the Hollinger McIntyre Deposit, the Holt McDermott Deposit and the Holloway Deposit. The Fenn-Gib Deposit is best represented by this model and the basis of which the exploration program is planned which includes drilling and sampling along strike and down dip of the deformation and contact zones. Mesothermal syntectonic vein deposits are associated with carbonate-albite-tourmaline veins which cross-cut the regional foliation. The deposits are thought to have developed syntectonically, based on structural relationships, with deep crustal fluids that used the active shear zones as conduits, contemporaneous with orogenesis and peak metamorphism. Examples of such deposits include the Camflo Mine and the Sigma Mine.
A fourth, less common type of deposit, occurs as quartz veins with north-south strikes and moderate dips, and is thought to be due to a remobilization of gold bearing fluids along northsouth fractures (Berger and Amelin 1998). These deposits cross-cut regional fabrics and formed late in the tectonic history of the area. The Croesus Mine, perhaps the highest-grade deposit in the Abitibi, is thought to be one such deposit. This historic mine is located less than 4km to the north west of the Fenn-Gib Deposit within the volcanic rocks of the Kidd-Munro Assemblage.
In the case of synvolcanic and syenite associated deposits the fluids were most likely derived from magmatic activity. For the syntectonic mesothermal vein deposits, fluids may have been metamorphic fluids from the deep crust. The literature suggests that there were at least three phases of gold introduction into the Abitibi: synsedimentary and synvolcanic introduction of gold, followed by intrusion-related gold mineralization and a final metamorphism related mineralizing event.

10 DRILLING
10.1 Drilling Summary
A total of 573 drillholes have historically been drilled on the Fenn-Gib Property. All of drilling on the Property has been completed by previous owners and operators. Of the 573 drillholes, 420 were used for the purposes of the resource estimate as documented in Section 14. Drillholes for the global database were excluded for a variety of reasons which included the lack of assay information, being outside resource area, re-drilled holes, twined drillholes, lack of QA/QC and lack of documentation. Table 10-1 lists the drillholes by series year that are validated and verifies for the purposes of the resource estimate.

The drilling is diamond drill core holes which is primarily BQ and NQ diameter prior to 2011 and then NQ for the 2011-2012 and 2017 drilling campaigns. The drilling completed on the Fenn-Gib Deposit was completed by Pangea in the mid to late 1990s, Lake Shore in 2011-2012 and in 2017. As a part of the 2011 drill programs, Lake Shore completed four drill holes with the primary purpose of duplicating or ‘twinning’ existing drill holes and mineralized sections to illustrate the

quality of historic drilling and to validate the data being utilized for the 2011 resource estimation (SGS 2011). The data from these four drill holes were not included in the resource estimation reported herein and continue to be a valuable tool for verification purposes as discussed in Section 12. In addition, there are 11 drillholes that were partially lost during drilling and then redrilled. These partial drillhole are also used for verification purposes to demonstrate repeatability and are not included in the drillhole database for the purpose of the resource estimate.
Pangea used a combination of BQ and NQ core which was split by saw and sample tags were inserted in the wooden core box with the remaining core (Figure 10-1). Samples were sent to various laboratories for analyses, depending on the year, as described in Section 11. Core is stored in a series of racks in Matheson and is in relatively good condition, however, aging and weather damage is pervasive and metal tags on boxes are sheading. An inventory, mapping and rehabilitation program is highly recommended. Access to the core is not restricted by any security measures. Pangea measured deviation with Sperry Sun instruments that use a gyroscope which are not susceptible to magnetic effects. No obvious deviation errors were encountered in the database. No specific mention of core recovery was encountered in the historical reports, however, inspection of the racks and contents along with pulled drillhole intersection suggest that recoveries were very good. In addition, NQ drilling performed by Lake Shore in 2011 returned 99.9% core recovery. Although RQD measurements were not taken, the Fenn-Gib host rocks appear to be very competent.

For the 2017 drill campaign, Lake Shore used NQ core which was split by saw and sample tags were inserted in the wooden core box with the remaining core (Figure 10-1). SG measurements were taken and the locations of the measurements marked by blue tape as shown in Figure 10-3. Samples were sent to SGS and ALS for analyses as described in Section 11. Core is stored in close proximity to Timmins, Ontario near Porcupine, adjacent to the Bell Creek Mine. The core is staked on pallets and core boxes are sealed and well-marked as shown in Figure 10-2.
Access to the core was restricted by security measures instituted by the Bell Creek Mine and Pan American at the time of the site visit.
Lake Shore measured downhole deviations at 10 m intervals using the Reflex EZ-Gyro instrument that uses a gyroscope and is not susceptible to magnetic effects. No obvious deviation errors were encountered in the database. No specific mention of core recovery or RQD measurements was encountered in the historical reports however NQ drilling performed by Lake Shore in 2011-2012 and 2017 returned relatively high core recovery based on visual inspection.

In 2011, drill holes were located in the field by SGS Geostat with respect to the exploration grid that was established by Pangea historically. This is a local metric grid with an arbitrary, convenient origin chosen to cover the property. Collar locations are generally indicated by a metal tag embossed with the drill hole number attached to a metal post that is generally 1.5 m high as shown in Figure 10-4. Eleven historic drill collars were identified in the field with a handheld GPS by SGS Geostat. These positions differed by 3.1 m on average from the position in the database, with a maximum of 8.2 m. It was deemed at the time that these values are well within the error for a handheld GPS. Lake Shore had a sample of 18 drill collars positioned by Differential GPS. The position of these drill holes differed on average by 1.6 m with a maximum of 7.8 m when compared to those recorded in the database. The DGPS position is considered correct and the difference is likely related the inherent error when locating drill holes in the field with a local grid. For the pre-2017 drilling, the drill hole positions in the database appeared to correspond closely with those measured independently in 2011.
Prior to launching the 2017 drilling campaign, a program to transpose the historic metric local property grid to UTM for consistency and modernization. As the local grid is linear, flat earth there will be inherent differences when evolving to a UTM round earth system however due to relatively limited property area, these issues are not significant. Therefore, deriving the location using GPS of the 2017 drilling is assured whereas the historic pre-2017 drilling locations will be derived within less than 10 m which is within tolerances.
The elevation coordinates posed a separate issue insofar as the local grid datum elevation required definition which was likely performed by identifying historic collars in the field and then calculating the UTM Z-value of the 0 m local grid elevation. This elevation was calculated to be a datum of 319.66 m which was added to the local grid elevations for the UTM Z-value. In addition, in order to ensure that any future potential pits which may extend deeper than 300 m, it was decided to add 5,000 m to the Z-value elevation. Therefore, the surface elevations within the database at the Fenn-Gib Property will range between 5,305 m and 5,325 m. However, when going into the field and locating drillholes or features using GPS, this arbitrary 5,000 m will need to be subtracted.

The average dip of drill holes is approximately -50° to the north, and the deformation zone has an average dip of -75° to the south. This means that on average the intersection width is overrepresenting the true length by an average of approximately 25%. However, the zones are broad, massive and relatively well constrained so domain modelling does not over-represent the volume of the mineralized zones. The resource estimate reported herein uses a 3D model which uses the real geometrical limits of the deposits.
Figure 10-6 shows the plan view of the drillholes used for the resource estimation of the FennGib Deposit with Figure 10-7 and Figure 10-8 illustrating representative drill sections. A list of drill holes and the mineralized intervals that were used in the resource estimation is shown in Table 10-2 and Table 10-3. The mineralized intervals are limited by the mineralized envelope which is guided by lithology and gold grades, as described in Section 14. As previously stated, a total of 573 drillholes have been drilled on the Fenn-Gib Property during various drill campaigns and by several operators. Of these, 420 drillholes (Table 10-2 and Table 10-3) have been used for the 2020 Resource Estimate as reported in Section 14, which is the subject of this Technical Report.

11 SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES AND SECURITY
An assay data used for the purposes of this Technical Report has been compiled from various historic sources performed by numerous certified laboratories on behalf of various owners. It is the opinion of the Qualified Person that, for the data being utilized for the resource estimate, this the sample preparation, analyses and security methods and procedures employed historically were to industry best practice and the analysis performed by certified laboratories.
11.1 Historical Sampling Pre-2011
A master assay table was compiled by Lake Shore from various historical records. The only data used in the resource estimation was from this database. The database listed 41,204 assay intervals with location, HoleID, from, to, sample number, lab name, assay certificate number and date and a variety of assay results (check, repeat, duplicate) for the corresponding intervals. Prior to 2011, Lake Shore undertook a program of verification of the database with the assay certificates. This was done to ensure that the most reliable method of analysis was selected given the value of the sample (e.g. gravimetric for samples with >3 g/t Au). This process also served as a verification of the database. Scans of paper drill logs and assay certificates was available for verification of data in that table.
Samples from the early 1986 holes on the Fenn Property were assayed by Accurassay, TSL and Bourlamaque, then Swatiska (up to 1994), Spectrolab (up to 1997) and Chimitec (1998 and 1998). The assaying for the holes drilled by Barrick was performed by Swastika Laboratories. Swastika Laboratories is located in Swastika, Ontario, Accurassay is located in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Bourlamaque Laboratoire D'Analyse is in Val d’Ore, Quebec, Spectrolab is in Geraldton, Ontario and Chimitec in Val d’Ore, Quebec. All laboratories are, and had been, accredited at the time of the analyses.
Between 1986 and 2002, samples from drill holes over the Fenn-Gib Property have been assayed at several commercial laboratories. They are by order of assay volume:
-
Spectrolab with 24,874 assay intervals in holes FE86-02 to 04, FE88-04 to 14, FE94-01 to FE97-33, G-9, G93-1, and G94-1 to G97-169. Assay certificates date from August 1994 to August 1997. Most assays are from fire assay with AA finish; there are also 1,749 samples analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish, and 24 from screen metallics;
-
Swastika with 8,679 assay intervals in holes FE88-07 to FE94-07A, G93-1 to G94-59 and G02-213 to 217. Assay certificates are dated from August 1988 to May 1994 and April-May 2002. Almost all values are from fire assay with AA finish with 23 by screen metallics;
-
Chimitec with 6,550 assay intervals in holes FE98-34 to FE99-59, G94-09 and G98-170 to G98-212. Assay certificates date from February 1998 to March 1999. Most of the final gold values are from fire assay with AA finish; 421 of them from fire assay with gravimetric finish;
-
Accurassay with 254 assay intervals in holes FE86-01 to 04. Assay certificates are dated from July 1986. All values are from fire assay with AA finish (including a very high 59.2 g/t);

FENN-GIB PROJECT | NI 43-101 TECHNICAL REPORT | LEGAL_35171958.2
==> picture [149 x 17] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [68 x 64] intentionally omitted <==
-
Technical Service Laboratories (TSL) with 84 assay intervals in holes FE86-02 and 04. Assay certificates date from August 1986. All values are from fire assay with AA finish; and
-
Bourlamaque with 43 assay intervals in hole FE86-04. Assay certificates date from July 1986. All values are from fire assay with AA finish capped to 1 g/t (actual values for those five samples above 1 g/t are coming from an “extra pulp” duplicate).
Hence, samples from the early 1986 holes on the Fenn sector have been assayed by Accurassay, TSL and Bourlamaque, then Swatiska (up to 1994) and Spectrolab (up to 1997) took over while samples from the last holes of 1998 and 1999 were assayed at Chimitec. Swastika did the assaying of samples from the Barrick holes of 2002.
- In addition to the above, we have 720 assay intervals with no identified lab nor an assay certificate, including 33 intervals in hole FE-88-16 with no assay value at all.
Due to the historical nature of the data it is exceedingly difficult to analyze the QAQC methodology used by the various companies that drilled on the property over the years. It appears that the principal method used to ensure the data quality was by the use of pulp duplicates that were usually sent to other independent laboratories. This is discussed further in Section 12.2. SGS Geostat and Lake Shore undertook a resampling and drill twin program to validate the historical data which continues to be an excellent verification source. This is discussed in detail in Section 12.2.
It appears that no certified standards or blanks were used to evaluate the accuracy or contamination effects for the data collected. The assay data was almost completely produced from known laboratories in the 1990’s which were certified and had their internal controls. The laboratories continue to be in operation today. The verification and validation work completed by Lake Shore and SGS Geostat did not highlight any issues with bias or errors (discussed in Section 12 It was the opinion of SGS Geostat that the sampling and analyses methods used by the previous exploration companies was adequate for the use in a resource estimate and the author continues to make this assurance.
11.2 Historical Sampling Post 2011
Since 2017, Lake Shore has implemented a comprehensive QA/QC program employing industry standards and best practices for all its drill core. This includes the regular insertion of blind Certified Reference Materials (standards) randomly into the sample stream, field blanks and duplicate analysis of coarse rejects at a second laboratory to independently assess analytical precision and accuracy of each samples batch as they are received from the laboratory. Additionally, pulp and coarse rejects were systematically submitted to ALS in North Vancouver, BC for check analysis and additional quality control.
Samples were transported in security-sealed bags to SGS In Timmins, ON (Figure 11-1) and ALS in North Vancouver, BC (Figure 11-2) for sample preparation by dry crush to 75% mesh to 2 mm, split to 250 g and pulverized to 85% mesh to 75 µm. The samples were then assayed for gold and silver using a 50-gram charge with atomic absorption and AAS finish for values exceeding threshold.

A total of 1,356 control samples were assigned for QA/QC purposes and accounted for approximately 20% of total samples taken during the program.
Analyses of blank samples (Figure 11-3), both pulp and field blanks, consistently yielded gold values near or below the detection limit of the primary laboratory. One failure was detected however the results illustrate no sample contamination.

The performance of the control samples was very good, reflecting the overall high quality of the analysis. Standard Oreas O-250 analyzed by ALS shows two failures and ALS O-210 had three failures and one failure for CDN-GS-3P. SGS had two failures on O-210. Overall, the failure rate of 1.6% for ALS and 1.6% for SGS is very low and illustrates good quality control procedures.

Duplicates of coarse rejects were performed at ALS for check analysis. Results as shown in Figure 11-4 showed relatively good correlation evident at both low and high gold levels, with a correlation coefficient of 0.995 indicating excellent reproducibility. There appears to be a moderate scatter which can be interpreted as a reflection of the lack of coarse nuggety gold in the Fenn-Gib Deposit.

12 DATA VERIFICATION
The author verified the information and data by way of personal inspection, review and analysis.
12.1 Verifications by the Authors of this Technical Report
Prior to the site visit, the author reviewed all collected data sources and reports. The primary sources of data for inspection was the drillhole data, related assay data, QA/QC data and analyses, assay certificates for the 2017 drill data. In addition, the most current NI 43-101 Technical Report authored by SGS (SGS 2011) was reviewed and validated.
The author reviewed historic verification practices and procedures along with validating data analysis and results through data import and statistical analysis.
From October 12[th] to 16[th] , 2020. the author visited the Property and performed an inspection of collar locations and core from various past programs, viewing key intersections comparing against assay sheets and lithology logs. No check samples or verification data could be taken during this time of the site visit as the Property ownership had not yet been transferred and this was not permitted.
The four twinned drillholes that were performed by Lake Shore in 2011 which are discussed below and there are a number of holes that were lost part way down the hole and then re-drilled to complete. These partial intersections and the completed holes serve as good examples of the reproducibility and show good correlations for verification.
The metallurgical test-work data was verified as accurate by confirming the calculations throughout the metallurgical test-work programs. The inputs for these calculations were verified by spot checking approximately 10% of the weights and assays with personnel from SGS Lakefield, who managed the test-work program, to ensure they were input correctly. The metallurgical data that is available is sufficient for the current reporting level.
12.2 Historical Validation, Verification and QA/QC
The data reported within the 2011 NI 43-101 Technical Report (SGS 2011) was derived from Au assays of BQ or NQ core drilled primarily in the 1990s by Pangea. A verification process was initiated by Lake Shore and SGS Geostat in 2010-2011 to provide assurance in the quality of the existing data. Approximately 10% of data provided by Lake Shore was cross-checked with scanned laboratory certificates. There were no discrepancies amongst the data that was verified by the Independent Qualified Person.
It appears that the principal method used to ensure the data quality was by the use of pulp duplicates that were typically sent to other independent laboratories. This check data was verified visually to ensure that there were no obvious biases or an unacceptable spread (Figure 12-1). With the exception of a limited dataset (0.6% of total database) from Accurassay there appeared to be no significant bias. Without certified standards there is no way to verify the accuracy of the

methods however.it is not believed both laboratories would be the subject of similar, simultaneous bias.

12.3 Check Sampling of Historical Core
To ensure reproducibility of historic data, check sampling of core by taking splits or consuming remaining core and performing check assaying is the most common method.
In late August of 2011, Lake Shore re-sampled a selection of remaining half cores from FennGib drilling of years 1986 to 1998. In total, 223 assay intervals totaling 277.1 m were re-sampled. Re-sampled holes were primarily BQ (177 intervals totaling 229.1 m) in addition to a number of NQ holes (46 intervals totaling 54.3 m).
The field check samples were sent to the ALS Mineral preparation lab in Timmins and then sent ALS Minerals lab in North Vancouver, BC for assaying. For most samples, gold grade is by fire assay with AA finish except for 18 samples, generally high-grade, with a final value derived from fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Most of original assays for the same samples were from Spectrolab (180) with some from Swastika (20) and Chimitec (5) and the balance (18) from an unidentified laboratory.
The check assay data ranged from 0.001 to 14.57 g/t with a mean of 1.21 g/t and a coefficient of variation of 2.24 while the corresponding historic data range from 0.003 to 31.7 g/t with a mean of 1.12 g/t and a coefficient of variation of 2.92. Statistical testing (sign test and T-test of paired data) showed that the difference of the two mean grades is not significant given the variability of each set and the correlation of old and new data (R =0.90 for log grades). Mean absolute grade difference between original and check sample values for the same interval is about 40% (Figure 12-2).

12.4 Lake Shore Twin Hole Drilling Program
The 2011 drill program which entailed the drilling of eight holes included the drilling of three which were drilled to ‘twin’ and, therefore, validate historic drill holes. The results showed good correlation between the original and the ‘twinned’ holes. These details are the following:
-
Hole FG-11-01 (400 m) twinning hole G-96-154 (255 m);
-
Hole FG-11-02 (398 m) twinning hole G-93-1 (395 m); and
-
Hole FG-11-03 (450 m) twinning hole G-98-184 (251 m).

At the same time, Lake Shore drilled a validation NQ core hole FG-11-04 (650 m) but that hole is not actually a twin; although there are several historical holes in close proximity to compare with.
Half-cores from the twin holes were sent to the ALS Minerals lab in North Vancouver for preparation and assaying. After crushing and grinding to 70% less than 2 mm, a split is pulverized to 85% less than 75 microns. Fire assaying of gold is made on a 30 g split of that pulp. A total of 1,420 samples totaling 1462.5 m, were analyzed by fire assay is with an AA finish with the exception of 11, generally high-grade samples, using fire assay with gravimetric finish.
Correlation plots compare the assay data in the new hole and assay data in its historic twin hole at the same depth are on Figure 12-3. As a general rule, the three twin holes encounter the Main Zone mineralization, or MZ1 at the same location as the original holes, but on a local scale, grade differences of individual assay intervals at about the same depth can be relatively high. A similar comparison can be made with drill holes on sections as shown in Figure 12-4.
A more detailed statistical comparison of assay data in new and old drill holes involved (1) the compositing to five meters down-hole of capped assay interval data within the limits of intercepts of the Main Zone, and (2) the pairing of composites in the old and new hole at the same depth. This results in 16 pairs in FG-11-01, 52 pairs in FG-11-02 and 35 pairs in FG-11-03. Figure 12-5 showed a correlation plot of those pairs. Although the correlation is weak (R=0.38), both a sign test and a T-test of paired data show that the difference between the mean composite grade of 1.31 g/t in the new holes and 1.21 g/t in the old holes is not significant. In other words, assay data in the three twin holes confirm the grade of assay data in the old holes within the Main Zone.
The check sampling and twinning programs also illustrated the presence of silver in the FennGib Deposit. Preliminary estimates suggest that gold to silver ratios approach 2:1. Further analyses will be necessary to show that the silver is consistently present and with a distribution similar to the gold.

12.5 Estimation to Evaluate Potential Bias in Historic (pre-2017) Data
In order to ensure that there is no potential bias between the historic pre-2011 data and the current 2017 data, a method of block model estimation within the Deformation Zone (Figure 12-6 and Figure 12-7) and the Mixed Zone (Figure 12-8 and Figure 12-9) domains using these two separated datasets was performed. Figure 12-6 shows that there is good correlation between the pre-2017 and 2017 datasets, however, there appears to be a high bias to 5100 meters and a low bias below 4950 which is likely due to the relative sample density as the 2017 dataset is

significantly smaller in comparison. The corresponding swath plot along the eastings (Figure 12-7) shows good correlation throughout with the exception 558500 east which illustrates where the 2017 program drilled multiple holes into a high-grade zone. It is important to note that there appears to no systematic bias present for either dataset.
Figure 12-8 shows that there is good correlation between the pre-2017 and 2017 datasets however there appears to be a high bias to the 2017 dataset at 5150 meters but very good agreement overall. The corresponding swath plot along the eastings (Figure 12-9) shows good correlation throughout.
Swath plots show good correlation and no obvious bias in Figure 12-6 through Figure 12-9.

12.6 Adequacy Statement
Kirkham is confident that the data and results are valid based on the site visits and inspection of all aspects of the project, including the methods and procedures used. It is the opinion of Kirkham that all work, procedures, and results have adhered to best practices and industry standards as required by NI 43-101. No duplicate samples were taken to verify assay results as the property transfer had not been completed at the time of site visit, but Kirkham is of the opinion that the work is being performed by a well-respected company that employs competent professionals that adhere to best practices and standards. Kirkham also notes that authors of prior technical reports (SMS 2011) collected duplicate samples and had no issues.
The datasets employed for use in the mineral resource estimates are a mix of historic data and recent data. There is always a concern regarding the validity of historic data. Extensive validation and verification must always be performed to ensure that the data may be relied upon.
Kirkham reviewed extensive validation and verification studies along with procedures performed by external consultants and Lake Shore to ensure the validity of the mineral resource estimates.
It is the opinion of Kirkham that the data used for estimating the current mineral resources for the Fenn-Gib Deposit is adequate for this Resource Estimate and may be relied upon to report the mineral resources contained in this report.

13 MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING
Since the 2011 drilling campaign, there have been two separate test-work programs which were both conducted by SGS Lakefield: 2014 and 2017. The first program, conducted in 2014, was focused on determining the most viable processes for extracting gold from the ore, while the second program, conducted in 2017, included recovery variability for selected ore zones based on the selected process, grinding with gravity gold recovery followed by cyanide leach.
13.1 Metallurgy Test-work
The 2014 test-work included Bond Ball Mill Work Index, Gravity Gold recovery, Flotation, Cyanide Leaching and Pressure Oxidation (POX) followed by cyanide leaching. The 2017 test-work focused on Gravity and Cyanide Leaching.
13.1.1 Work Index Test-work
In order to provide data on the comminution effort required in an operating plant, Bond Ball Mill Work Index (Wibm) testing was conducted on the four composites from the 2014 test-work campaign. The samples had an average work index of 16.6 kWh/t which is considered moderately hard (the average of SGS’ database is closer between 14 kWh/t and 15 kWh/t). The Wibm values, seen in Table 13-1, were consistent in their results with all four values falling between 16.3 and 16.9 kWh/t.

13.1.2 Gravity Test-work
Gravity circuit test-work was integral to both test-work programs, consisted of grinding to a target P80 of 105 µm, the largest particle size in the test-work program, and then running the sample through a laboratory scale centrifugal concentrator. The concentrate from the gravity concentrator was then upgraded using a Mozley Laboratory Mineral Separator.
The samples tested did not exhibit a high gravity recovery potential, but the variability in the results, with some samples exhibiting >30% gravity recovery, indicates that a gravity circuit would result in a significant benefit to the flowsheet. The average recovery over the entire range of the gravity tests was 12.4%. The 2017 program highlighted the amount of variance in the gravity recovery with a high of 36.9% gravity recovery and a low gravity recovery of 0%.
The 2014 sample results were very consistent with respect to gravity recovery, achieving an average of 11.7% with a standard deviation of 1.026. The 2017 samples had a much higher variability, between 0% recovery and 36.9% recovery. The 2014 samples were general composites, while the 2017 samples were more akin to variability testing.
The results from the gravity test-work can be found in Table 13-2. The 2014 program was broken into two parts; the first part was the original test-work and the second was an added program to carry-out an expanded test-work program.

13.1.3 Whole ‘Ore’ Leach Test-work
For the purposes of this report, the leaching tests have been divided into whole-ore leaching and leaching tests on the flotation circuit products (with or without POX).
The cyanidation test-work showed that recovery continues to increase as the grind size decreases, down to a P80 of 25 µm (which is the smallest grind size tested). The cyanidation data, which can be found in Table 13-3, suggests that the recoveries for P80 of 106 µm, 75 µm, 53 µm, and 25 µm are 70.3%, 74.1%, 78.1%, and 83.2%, respectively. Leach testing was also conducted at a grid size P80 of 38 µm on the four 2014 composites which indicated a recovery of 86.9%, but it must be noted that leach tests conducted at this target grind size is limited to the four 2014 composites, which had much less variability than the 2017 program. It is expected that if the 2017 samples were also tested at a P80 of 38 µm, the recovery would likely reduce to between 78% and 83%.

13.1.4 Flotation Test-work
As part of the expanded test-work program in 2014, flotation was included to determine the sample’s response to a typical gold flotation reagent scheme. The test-work results, which can be seen in Table 13-3, are again divided into two groups of tests; the first is to test the amenability to flotation and the second was to generate sample for downstream test-work.
The flotation tests were conducted on the gravity tailings (2014 samples) from the gravity circuit testing described in Section 13.1.2. In Table 13-3, there are two recoveries included: the first, labelled “Recovery”, is the recovery for that test, while the second column labelled “Gravity and Flotation Recovery”, indicates the overall recovery of that composite including the gold recovered to the gravity concentrate.
Generally, the first set of flotation tests resulted in higher recoveries, while the second set of flotation tests resulted in higher concentrate grades. The difference in recoveries and concentrate grade suggest that differences in values between the two sets of tests were simply different points on the individual grade/recovery curves.
The samples tested have sulphur grade of approximately 2.5% which is high compared to the gold grades. Therefore, the flotation concentrate grades are not expected to achieve saleable concentrate levels. It is expected that the best opportunity would be to upgrade the sulphur, gold and silver content to level that would be suitable for an oxidation process, such as pressure, which typically requires a minimum of 8% sulphur.
The average flotation recovery over the eight tests was 88.95%, which resulted in a total of 90.05% when combined with the gravity circuit.

The flotation tests F-9 to F-12 were conducted to determine the amenability of flotation for the Fenn-Gib composite samples. Flotation tests F-17 to F-20 were conducted to produce sample for downstream test-work, flotation product leaching and Pressure Oxidation (POX) testing followed by leaching.
The flotation concentrates and tailings were filtered and split for downstream test-work. The flotation concentrates were then sent to leach and POX test-work. The flotation tailings were sent for leach test-work.
13.1.5 Flotation Samples Leach Test-work
Leaching test-work was conducted on the two samples of flotation concentrate and the sample of flotation tailings for each of the composites in the 2014 test-work program. The first concentrate was leached without modification, while the second flotation concentrate was reground prior to being leached. The tailings sample was leached without further processing. The results indicated that the overall recovery for the “as-is” concentrate, reground concentrate and tailings samples were 68.2%, 72%, and 19.3% respectively.

13.1.6 Pressure Oxidation Leach Test-work
Each composite’s flotation concentrate was subjected to a series of three POX tests to determine the effect of different POX residence time on the final leach recovery. In Table 13-6, it can be seen that there is a significant improvement in the leach results over the non-oxidized samples reported in Table 13-5.

13.2 Mineral Processing Test-work
The metallurgical test-work that has been completed SGS to date provides detail to explore several options for a processing flowsheet. The improvement in leach recovery after the flotation concentrates were pressure oxidized indicates that there is a significant portion of the gold in the Fenn-Gib ore that is refractory. It was also noted in the test-work that recovery continued to improve as the ore was ground finer. This information in conjunction with the low gravity recovery test-work results suggests that the gold particles are generally very fine in size.
For this study, a base case processing option was chosen consisting of grinding to a P80 of 75 µm with a gravity circuit located in the circulating load of the grinding circuit. The grinding circuit product is then directed to a thickener, where it is thickened to 50% solids and leached for 48 hours with cyanide followed by a CIP circuit. A summary of the metallurgical assumptions can be found in Table 13-7.
Table 13-7: Recovery and Concentrate Grade Estimates
| Parameter | Unit | Recovery |
|---|---|---|
| Au Recovery | % | 75 |
| Reagent Consumption | ||
| NaCN | kg/t | 0.300 |
| Lime | kg/t | 1.200 |
| Target Grind Size | P80, µm | 75 |
The recovery of 75% and reagent consumptions of 1.2 kg/t and 0.300 kg/t for lime and sodium cyanide respectively, were derived from the averages of the test-work with the gold recovery rounded up to 75% from an average of 74.1%. The lime consumption was rounded up to 1.2 kg/t from 1.19 kg/t and the sodium cyanide was increased from a consumption of 0.167 kg/t to 0.300 kg/t. The increase in cyanide is to account for the residual cyanide that be maintained in an operating circuit to ensure that the recovery is not limited due to a lack of cyanide.
The recovery in the 2017 samples showed a significant amount of variability, likely due to refractory gold, which should be further investigated through metallurgical test-work in the next phase of exploration, which is outlined in Section18.

14 MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE
14.1 Introduction
This section describes the work undertaken by Kirkham Geosystems Ltd. (Kirkham), including key assumptions and parameters used to prepare the mineral resource models for Fenn-Gib , together with appropriate commentary regarding the merits and possible limitations of such assumptions.
14.1.1 Data
The Fenn-Gib Property comprises over 10 individual mineralized units distributed within two principal areas, (the Fenn and Gib areas) with vertical to steeply dipping zones extending a strike length of more than 1,200 m and to a depth of more than 450 m. The principal mineralized zones are encompassed with a broad Deformation Zone between altered sediments and volcanics, along with a Mixed and Pyroxene zone.
The updated Mineral Resource Estimate incorporates more than 573, with 420 drill holes (Figure 14-1) being used for the estimation process and totaling 126,434 m.
The drill hole database was supplied in electronic format (i.e., MS Excel) by Mayfair. This included collars, down hole surveys, lithology data and assay data (i.e., Au g/t and down hole from and to intervals in metric units). Lithology data was provided as lithology group and description.
Validation and verification checks were performed during import to insure no overlapping intervals, typographic errors or anomalous entries. None were found.

14.1.2 Geology Model
A solid model of the vein zones within the Fenn-Gib Deposit is shown in plan (Figure 14-2) and section (Figure 14-3). A comprehensive lithological model was developed, which incorporated the 2017 drilling and extensive validated historic drill core. The revised models were created by Pan American staff. This was done utilizing the current and re-logged data, and from sectional interpretations which were subsequently wireframed based on a combination of lithology and gold grades.
The definition drilling program has not resulted in any substantial changes to the previous geological (stratigraphic and structural) interpretation, although it has allowed for better correlation of several units. In particular, the ‘late’ unmineralized buff beige porphyry (10BB), oatmeal porphyry, and a specific lamprophyre dyke are laterally extensive along the Deformation Zone and help to define its bounding limits to the south and north. Recent surface exploration drilling west of the deposit shows that the buff beige porphyry and oatmeal porphyry units can be traced along strike for several hundreds of meters.
In terms of mineralization modeling, SGS’s 2011 NI 43-101 model combined all mineralization in the previously defined (Pangea) “Main Zone” and “Deformation Zone” into a single mineralization domain called MZ1. SGS also modeled two additional near-surface satellite domains south of MZ which they called MZ2 and MZ3. One of the goals of the current program was to better define the mineralization solids and differentiate discrete domains within the model. As noted below, significant new data provided by the definition drilling allowed for the modelling of nine separate mineralization domain solids which fall into four main categories: 1) Main Zone; 2) Deformation Zone; 3) Footwall; and 4) South Pyroxenite.
In comparing the 2017 and 2011 domain models, the strike length of the deposit has been reduced by approximately 75 m on its western end and 25 m on its eastern end (i.e. 100 m in total). The reduction to the west is a result of less grade continuity in this area than modeled from earlier drilling, and to the east the model has been shortened due to a decrease in the projection of grades beyond mineralized drill holes. One other significant finding is that there is a gap in mineralization between the Main Zone and Main Zone 2 which had previously been interpreted to be continuous.
The new drilling data has been used to develop new lithology, mineralization, and grade block models as described below.
14.1.2.1 New Lithology, Mineralization and Grade Modeling
Following completion of the definition drilling, work was conducted to update the lithology and mineralization models as well as to create a new grade block model for the project. All lithology and mineralization modeling was completed by Timmins-based Tahoe Canada geology staff and all block modeling by SGS Geostat.
The new work did not include pit optimization studies in part due to budget cutbacks and also because metallurgical test-work demonstrated variable and in some cases lower than anticipated gold recoveries. Despite the above, some reports from the new grade model were completed using the 2011 NI 43-101 pit shell in order to get a general sense of the changes resulting from drilling and for comparison with results in the 2011 NI 43-101.

14.1.2.1.1 Lithology Model
Modeling of lithologies was completed on north-south oriented cross sections at a set spacing of 25 m with all polylines snapped to drill holes. Solids and Domains were created from these polylines were used to clip individual lithology solids from a bounding box solid representing the block model extents. The individual lithology solids were clipped against a topography surface. An overburden surface was created from coded drillhole intersection. This surface was used in combination with the surface topography to create an overburden solid domain.
Results of the modeling led to the creation of seven major lithology solids including the Sediment Domain, Oatmeal Porphyry Domain, South Pyroxenite Domain, Deformation Zone Domain, Mixed Domain, Pyroxenite Domain and Mafic Volcanic domain. In addition, two narrow marker horizons were modeled to aid in the construction of the deformation zone, a non- mineralized felsic intrusive known as the 10bb (beige buff porphyry) marking the northern limit and a nonmineralized lamprophyre dyke marking the approximate southern limit.
The key feature identified from the work is the Deformation Structural Zone, which consists of an east- west trending, steeply southward dipping corridor that extends the length of the deposit and generally marks the contact zone between the metavolcanics to the north and the sediments to the south. This unit consists primarily of mylonite and cataclastite, with lesser inclusions of turbidite clastic sediments (greywacke, siltstone & mudstone), syenite and late lamprophyre dykes.
Immediately south of the Deformation Zone is an extensive sedimentary unit, the Sediment Domain, consisting of turbidite clastic sediments. Two intrusive bodies penetrate the sequence and have been modeled: 1) a narrow felsic intrusive striking east-west, the Oatmeal Porphyry Domain; and 2) a single isolated lens of Pyroxenite, the South Pyroxenite Domain.
The area located north of the Deformation Zone consists primarily of Mafic Volcanics (Mafic Volcanic Domain). Locally this has been intruded by a pyroxenite unit along the northern contact of the Deformation Zone which has been modeled as the Pyroxenite Domain. Numerous intermediate to felsic intrusive bodies of varying ages are located within the Mafic Volcanics at the western tip of the Pyroxenite Domain. As it was not possible to model individual intrusives, this area has been incorporated into a mixed volcanics/intrusives solid, the Mixed Domain.
14.1.2.1.2 Mineralization Model
Mineralization modeling was completed on the same north-south cross sections at 25 m spacing used to create the lithology model using a cut-off grade of approximately 0.30 g/t. As mineralization consists of higher-grade samples separated by intervals of low grade, which is not segregated, this results in a partially diluted model.
The most significant of these zones are the Deformation Zone 1 and the Main Zone Volcanic Domain.
The Deformation Zone 1 Mineralized Domain occupies the Deformation Structural zone on the western end of the deposit and is the largest domain in extent. Mineralization extends partly across the sediment/deformation zone boundary and has been broken out as the Deformation Zone 3 Domain due to potential mineralogical differences.

The Main Zone Domain is located immediately north of the Deformation Zone 1 domain and is separated from this domain by the non-mineralized 10bb porphyry unit. The Main Zone has been sub- divided into three domains based upon lithology due to apparent differences in grade distribution and spacing of above cut-off values. The three Main Zone Domains include the Main Zone Volcanic Domain which is the largest in terms of volume, the Main Zone Mixed Domain, and the Main Zone Pyroxenite Domain.
In the 2011 resource models, the Main Zone extended further east. Infill drilling has identified a significant waste gap such that the eastern portion has now been modeled as a separate noncontiguous domain, the Main Zone 2. This domain is situated primarily north of the 10bb porphyry unit, but is more weakly mineralized than the Main Zone domains.
Smaller isolated domains hosted in mafic volcanics north of Main Zone 1 and 2 have been included as the Footwall 1 and Footwall 2 domain. Mineralization had been previously noted in these areas but lacked sufficient drill intersections to define extents.
An additional mineralized domain has been created for mineralization hosted entirely within the South Pyroxenite (South Pyroxenite Domain).
Table 14-1 lists the lithologic units and mineralized domains used in for the resource estimation process. Figure 14-2 shows a plan view of the lithology units and Figure 14-3 illustrates a plan view of the mineralized domains.
Intersections were inspected and the solid was then manually adjusted to match the drill intercepts. Once the solid models were edited and complete, they were used to code the drill hole assays and composites for subsequent statistical and geostatistical analysis. The solid zones were utilized to constrain the block model, by matching assays to those within the zones. The orientation and ranges (distances) utilized for the search ellipsoids used in the estimation process were derived from the strike and dip of the mineralized zone.

14.1.3 Data Analysis
Table 14-2 shows statistics of gold assays for each of the lithologic units listed in Table 14-1. Note that there is separate statistical analysis for AU and AU0. AU is the statistics for the Au assays where unsampled assay intervals are set to missing whereas AU0 is the statistics were missing is set to 0 g/t. Setting the missing to 0 g/t does not have a significant effect on grade, however it is the prudent path in the absence of data. The mineralized units are denoted red in Table 14-2.
The statistics show relatively low CV’s within the mineralized zones with the exception of Domain 7 (Deformation Zone 2 – Gibb area). Mean gold grades range from 0.46 g/t in Domain 4 to 2.33 in Domain 15.

The solids were coded into the assay database by priority, with the Domain 40 (Lampophyre dyke) and Domain 41 (10bb) solids being highest, then the mineralized units and lastly the surrounding waste domains.
14.1.4 Composites
It was determined that the 1.5 m composite lengths offered the best balance between supplying common support for samples and minimizing the smoothing of the grades. Figure 14-4 shows a histogram illustrating the distribution of the assay interval lengths with 96.7% of the data having interval lengths less than 1.5 m. The 1.5 m sample length also was consistent with the distribution of sample lengths. It should be noted that although 1.5 m is the composite length, any residual composites of length greater than 0.75 m and less than 1.5 m remained to represent a composite, while any composites residuals less than 0.75 m were combined to the composite above.

Box plots are an effective tool to compare gold populations within the domains, to create and confirm zone/domain groupings and to guide the interpolation strategy.
Figure 14-7 shows the box plots and statistics for the grouped gold composites and Table 14-3 shows the basic statistics for the 1.5 m Au composite grades within the mineralized domains, respectively. There is a total of 90,265 individual composites and 25,227 composites within the
As the composite length is consistent with the assay sample length, the grades are not significantly affected by compositing. The weighted average Au grades for the mineralized domains range from 0.456 g/t to 2.314 g/t with Coefficient of Variation (CV’s) ranging between 1.0 and 2.4 CV which are relatively low for precious metal deposits primarily due to the nuggety nature. Domain 7 does in fact have a significantly high CV at 6.0 however grade limiting or cutting will further reduce the CV’s.
The box plots and statistics show that the Deformation zone domains (i.e., 2, 3, 4, 7) are similar and warrant grouping during estimation as is the Pyroxene units (i.e., 22, 23, 24) and the Main and Mixed zones (i.e., 12 and 13). However, Domain 15 (FW1) is singularly different and should be treated as such. As expected, Domain 1, Domain 21, Domain 11, Domains 31, 32 and Domains 40,41 all illustrate waste grades and are to be estimated separately. CV’s range from 1.1 to 3.7.

Contact plots are also an effective tool to compare gold populations within the domains along with confirming zone/domain groupings. In addition, contact plots gives a quantitative analysis of the effectiveness of the domain sold boundaries and a guide as to whether to treat the boundaries as hard or soft during the estimation process. Figure 14-12 through Figure 14-16 illustrates contact plots comparing various domain populations presenting the mean gold grade as function of the distance away from the domain contact.
Figure 14-8 shows the Pyroxenite boundary is good however there may be issues with the boundary where a number of high-grade samples may be assigned to waste when they should be within the mineralized zone.
Figure 14-9 shows the meta-volcanic waste unit adjacent to the Mixed and Main zone boundaries is sufficient.

Figure 14-10 shows Mixed and Main zones combined with the meta-volcanic unit and Deformation zone (high-grade and low-grade combined) looks to be reasonable.
Figure 14-11 shows mineralized Pyroxenite domain and Mixed and Main zone appear to be quite similar with the exception of right at the contact. Although grouping these may be warranted, the contact shows that it would be prudent to remain with hard boundaries.
Figure 14-12 shows mineralized Pyroxenite domain and Deformation zone markedly differentiated.
Figure 14-13 shows relatively barren 10BB (buff porphyry) and higher grade of the Deformation zone are confirmed. Figure 14-14 shows relatively barren Lamprophyre Dyke and Deformation zone are also confirmed. Figure 14-15 shows very low-grade Sediments and Deformation zone are very evident with the exception of perhaps a minor ‘bleeding’ of grade into the sediments.
Figure 14-16 shows low-grade and high-grade Deformation zone are quite evident and supports the use of hard boundaries between the two.
For the purposes of the statistical and geostatistical analysis, and the interpolation strategy the domains were grouped by color as shown in Table 14-4. Hard boundaries are used for the interpolations.

14.1.5 Evaluation of Outlier Assay Values
During the estimation process, the influence of outlier composites is controlled to limit their influence and to insure against over-estimation of metal content. In the case of the Au composites, values higher than the selected thresholds were cut to those threshold vales based on analysis of the cumulative frequency plots as illustrated by the breaks in the for each in Figure 14-17 and Figure 14-18, respectively. It should be noted that cumulative frequency plots for all domains were run and the figures below are provided as examples.

Table 14-5 show the cut thresholds that were selected based on the analysis of the cumulative frequency plots and the subsequent effects of cutting the outlier grades to the threshold level recommended. This shows that the average gold grades are reduced by between 0% and 16% within the mineralized domains. In addition, the variability or CV is significantly reduced for gold at the respective cut thresholds by between 0% and 61%. Therefore, for the resultant CV’s for the mineralized domains have been adjusted to very reasonable low levels in comparison to other similar gold deposits.

14.1.6 Specific Gravity Estimation
Table 14-6 shows the specific gravity (SG) assignment by zone using 1,954 individual measurements using standard water displacement methods. The SG assigned for the veins is determined to 2.82 which is derived from 392 measurements. It is recommended that future work programs should continue to include SG measurements to expand the density distributions. Overburden 1.8 and default 2.81.

14.1.7 Variography
Experimental variograms and variogram models in the form of correlograms were generated for Au and Ag grades. The definition of nugget value was derived from the downhole variograms. The correlograms for gold (Au) within the mineralized and non-mineralized zones are shown in Figure 14-19 through Figure 14-24, respectively. These variogram models were used for the estimation of Au grades employing ordinary kriging as the interpolator. Table 14-7 shows the variogram parameters employed for the resource estimation of the Fenn-Gib Project. In addition, Table 14-7 detains the ellipse dimensions and orientations along with the composite selection criteria used in the estimation process.

14.1.8 Block Model Definition
The block model used for estimating the resources was defined according to the origin and orientation as shown in Figure 14-25 and the limits specified in Figure 14-26. The block model employs whole block with partial percentages for ease of mine planning and is orthogonal, roughly reflecting the orientation of the Deformation Zone. The block size chosen was 10 m by 5 m by 10 m which is a reasonable Selective Mining Unit (SMU) for an open pit scenario as envisioned. Note that MineSight™ uses the centroid of the blocks as the origin.

14.1.9 Resource Estimation Methodology
The estimation plan includes the following items:
-
Zone code of modelled mineralization stored in each block;
-
Estimated SG based on rock type code;
-
Estimated block Au grades by ordinary kriging;
-
Estimated Au waste grades; and
-
One pass estimation for each lithology unit.
A minimum of four composites and maximum of 12 composites and a maximum of three composites per hole were informed to estimate block grades. The de-clustered Au statistics illustrates a higher mean grade than the initial inverse distance and kriged results in comparison to the nearest neighbor results. Following Herco analysis, it was determined that the gold estimates appeared to be over-smoothed, so the maximum number of composites informed was adjusted to 12 from 16 which reduced the smoothing sufficiently.

As the Deformation, the Pyroxene and related zones are oriented east-west and are essentially vertical, the search ellipsoids are omni-directional to a maximum of 100 m and hard boundaries were used so that the zones are tightly constrained. This also includes the Lamprophyre Dyke and 10BB. As the Meta-Sediments and Volcanics are very broad and massive, tightening the search constraints is necessary so a search ellipse of 100 m along strike, 50 m down dip and 25 m perpendicular to strike is utilized.
14.1.10 Resource Validation
A graphical validation was done on the block model. The purpose of this graphical validation is to:
-
Check the reasonableness of the estimated grades, based on the estimation plan and the nearby composites;
-
Check the general drift and the local grade trends, compared to the drift and local grade trends of the composites;
-
Ensure that all blocks in the core of the deposit have been estimated;
-
Check that topography has been properly accounted for;
-
Check against partial model to determine reasonableness;
-
Check against manual approximate estimates of tonnage to determine reasonableness; and
-
Inspect and explain potentially high-grade block estimates in the neighbourhood of extremely high assays.

A full set of cross sections, long sections and plans were used to check the block model on the computer screen, showing the block grades and the composites. No evidence of any block being wrongly estimated was found; it appears that every block grade could be explained as a function of the surrounding composites and the estimation plan applied.
These validation techniques included the following:
-
Visual inspections on a section-by-section and plan-by-plan basis;
-
The use of grade-tonnage curves;
-
Swath Plots comparing Kriged estimated block grades with Inverse Distance and Nearest Neighbour estimates;
-
An inspection of histograms of distance of the first composite to the nearest block, and the average distance to blocks for all composites used, which gives a quantitative measure of confidence that blocks are adequately informed in addition to assisting in the classification of resources; and
-
Regression Slope and Kriged Variance.

14.1.11 Mineral Resource Classification
Mineral resources were estimated in conformity with generally accepted CIM “Estimation of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Best Practices” Guidelines (2020). Mineral resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Mineral Resources for the Fenn-Gib Deposit were classified according to the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014) by Garth Kirkham, P.Geo. of Kirkham Geosystems Ltd. (Kirkham), an “Independent Qualified Person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
Drill hole spacing is sufficient for preliminary geostatistical analysis and evaluating spatial grade variability. Kirkham is therefore of the opinion that the amount of sample data is adequate to demonstrate very good confidence of the grade estimates in the deposit.
The estimated blocks were classified according to:
-
Confidence in interpretation of the mineralized zones;
-
Number of data used to estimate a block;
-
Number of composites allowed per drill hole;
-
Distance to nearest composite used to estimate a block;
-
Average distance to the composites used to estimate a block;
-
Kriged variance; and
-
Slope of regression.
The classification of resources was based primarily upon distance to the nearest composite; however, all of the quantitative measures, as listed above, were inspected and taken into consideration.
The spatial variation pattern of gold in the Fenn-Gib Deposit can be represented by a variogram or correlogram. Using the variogram and the drill hole spacing the reliability of estimated grades in large volumes can be predicted. The measure of estimation reliability or uncertainty is expressed by the width of a confidence interval or the confidence limits. Then by knowing how reliably metal content must be estimated to adequately undertake mine planning, it is possible to calculate the drill hole spacing necessary to achieve the target level of reliability. For instance, Indicated resources may be adequate for planning in most pre-feasibility and production work.
This approach described below shows that block grade estimates made for the Fenn-Gib Deposit requires at least three holes spaced 50 m apart to delineate Indicated resources at a production rate of 10,000 tpd or greater. The estimation of uncertainty should be monitored as drilling progresses. An update to the study in conjunction with future results should allow a more confident nomination of the spacing for both Indicated and Measured resources.

Estimation of confidence intervals for smaller volumes such as those for monthly or weekly production requires the geostatistical procedure of conditional simulation (Davis, B. M., Some Methods of Producing Interval Estimates for Global and Local Resources, SME Preprint 97-5, 4p.). The use of conditional simulation can help to assess uncertainty and risk in short term mine planning.
Confidence intervals are intended to estimate the reliability of estimation for different volumes and drill hole spacing. A narrower interval implies a more reliable estimate. The study is based on the ideas outlined in the next several paragraphs. Using hypothetical regular drill spacing and the variograms from the composited drill hole sample data, confidence intervals or limits can be estimated for different drill hole spacing and production periods or equivalent volumes. The confidence limits for 90% relative confidence intervals should be interpreted as follows:
If the limit is given as 8%, then there is a 90 percent chance the actual value (tonnes and grade) of production is within ±8% of the estimated value over a quarterly or annual production volume. This means it is unlikely the true value will be more than eight percent different relative to the estimated value (either high or low) over the given production period.
The method of estimating confidence intervals is an approximate method that has been shown to perform well when the volume being predicted from samples is sufficiently large (Davis, B. M., Some Methods of Producing Interval Estimates for Global and Local Resources, SME Preprint 97-5, 4p.) At Fenn-Gib, the smallest appropriate production volume is considered to be about one year. Using these guidelines, an idealized block configured to approximate the volume produced in one month is estimated by ordinary kriging using the idealized spacing of samples.
Relative variograms are used in the estimation of the block. Relative variograms are used rather than ordinary variograms because the standard deviations from the kriging variances are expressed directly in terms of a relative percentage.
There are twelve monthly production volumes. Assuming approximate independence from month to month the formula for the variance of the mean is σ[2] /N where N = 12 in this case.
The kriging variances from the ideal blocks and spacing are divided by twelve (assuming approximate independence in the production from month to month) to get a variance for yearly ore output. The square root of this kriging variance is then used to construct confidence limits under the assumption of normally distributed errors of estimation. For example, if the kriging variance for a block is Σ[2] m then the kriging variance for a year is Σ[2] y = Σ[2] m/12. The 90 percent confidence limits are then C.L. = ±1.645 x Σy.
The relative ordinary kriging variance is achieved by scaling the correlogram to the de-clustered relative variance of the composite distribution. The total relative variance can be estimated by squaring the de-clustered coefficient of variation (de-clustered standard deviation divided by the de-clustered mean) calculated from the composite samples.
The confidence limits for a given production rate are a function of the spatial variation of the data and the sample or drill hole spacing.
For this exercise, the drill hole spacing test uses 50 m, 25 m and 12.5 m.

Further assumptions made for the confidence interval calculations are:
-
The variograms are appropriate representations of the spatial variability for presence of mineralization and metal grade;
-
The monthly production is approximately 10,000 t; and
-
Most of the uncertainty in metal production within the veins is due to the fluctuation of gold grades and vein thickness not to variation in the presence or absence of the unit.
The curve in Figure 14-32 shows a graphical representation of how the uncertainty decreases with decreasing drill hole spacing. In general, the curve shows that sampling at roughly 30 m spacing will produce uncertainty for the year slightly greater than ±15% at the designated production rate.

In addition to the uncertainty estimate, indicator variograms show continuity of grade extends horizontally along strike for over 25 m, essentially supporting the results described above.
Typically, resource categories are based on the following criteria; Indicated resources must be estimated so the uncertainty of yearly production is no greater than ±15% with 90% confidence and Measured resources must be estimated so the uncertainty of quarterly production is no greater than ±15% with 90% confidence. The results presented above indicate the reliability is around ±15% for the assumed production rate at roughly 25 m spacing.
It should also be noted that the confidence limits only consider the variability of grade within the deposit. There may be other aspects of deposit geology and geometry as such as geological contacts or the presence of faults or offsetting structures that may impact the drill spacing (see the recommendations for classification below). These factors should not be discounted or ignored when making a final choice concerning drill locations.
The following lists the spacing for each resource category to classify the resources assuming the current rate of metal production:
-
Measured: Note that based on the CIM definitions, continuity must be demonstrated in the designation of Measured (and Indicated) resources. Therefore, no Measured resources can be declared based on one hole. More closely spaced sampling is required before it is possible to confidently nominate a drill spacing to delineate Measured resources;
-
Indicated: Resources in this category would be delineated from at least three drill holes spaced on a nominal 50 m for Fenn-Gib. As more information becomes available some adjustment may be necessary; and
-
Inferred: Any material not falling in the categories above and within a maximum 100 m of one hole at Fenn-Gib.
To ensure continuity, the boundary between the Indicated and Inferred categories was contoured and smoothed, eliminating outliers and orphan blocks. The spacing distances are intended to define contiguous volumes and they should allow for some irregularities due to actual drill hole placement. The final classification volume results typically must be adjusted manually to come to a coherent classification scheme.
14.1.12 Mineral Resource Estimate
The following details the Indicated and Inferred resources.
This estimate is based upon the reasonable prospect of eventual economic extraction based on continuity an optimized pit, using estimates of operating costs and price assumptions. The “reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction” were tested using floating cone pit shells based on reasonable prospects of eventual economic assumptions as shown in Table 14-9 Figure 14-33 and Figure 14-34.
The pit optimization results are used solely for the purpose of testing the “reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction” and do not represent an attempt to estimate Mineral Reserves.

14.1.13 Discussion with Respect to Potential Material Risks to the Resources
The Fenn-Gib Property (Figure 14-35) is partially transected by Highway 101 and approximately 10% of the resources are in direct proximity. Approximately 1 kilometer of Highway 101 would require re-routing and straightening to accommodate the exploitation of the current estimated resources on property that is owned by Mayfair. The author believes that it is reasonable to expect that this can be economically achieved based on precedents in the area such as the relocation of the Highway to accommodate the Pamour pit. Further study is required, but it is not believed that the Highway poses a risk to development and the resources are not materially affected.
In addition, the area is generally and intermittently covered by shallow sloughs and wetlands. These waterbodies are not known by the author to be fish-bearing and freeze completely in winter due to their shallow nature. Further studies to determine the flora and fauna that may be affected by potential mining operations is required, however it is not believed that these water bodies and features pose a risk currently and they do not materially affect the mineral resources.
There are many significant, currently active, mining operations that have very similar features and issues. The author believes that it is reasonable to expect that accommodation and resolution of these potential risks has high likelihood.

14.1.14 Sensitivity of the Block Model to Selection Cut-off Grade
The Mineral Resources are sensitive to the selection of cut-off grade. Table 14-11 shows tonnage and grade in the Fenn-Gib Deposit at different Au cut-off grades. The reader is cautioned that these values should not be misconstrued as a Mineral Reserve. The reported quantities and grades are only presented as a sensitivity of the resource model to the selection of cut-off grade. Au and Ag grade-tonnage curves for different resource categories are presented in Figure 14-36 and Figure 14-37. Figure 14-38 through Figure 14-41 show section views of the block model with drill holes and estimation domains for Au and Ag, respectively. Figure 14-42 through Figure 14-45 show long section views of the Au and Ag block models for the North and South Zones, respectively.

14.1.15 Comparison to 2011 Resource Estimation
The following is a comparison between the previous resource estimate performed in 2011 and the current estimate as stated within this report. Table 14-12 shows the total Indicated and Inferred resources stated in 2011 are significantly increased compared to the current indicated resources stated herein. However, inferred resources have decreased substantially between the two estimates.
The extensive 2011-2012 and 2017 drilling campaigns also contributed to the increases and these are the reasons for the significant increases in indicated resources. These activities were focused on developing a better understanding of geology and structure, more accurately defining the mineralized zones both in the and lithology units, revising the models and domains, targeting of additional indicated and inferred resources.
The significant differences from the 2011 Resource Estimate (SGS 2011) and the current 2021 Resource Estimate are as follows;
-
The addition of the 2011, 2012 and 2017 Drilling;
-
Revised Domains and Lithology Solids;
-
Revised drillholes selection criteria;
-
The unsampled intervals from the historic drilling was set to 0 g/t Au;

Moneta’s Golden Highway Project is a large package of mining claims totaling 10,800 ha. The claims and leases under joint venture with Kirkland Lake Gold Mines located east of Matheson in a number of claim blocks, some adjacent to the project, are not included in the scope of this report as they are not considered to be part of the same project. The property is comprised of 22 patented mineral claims, four leased mineral claims, and 311 unpatented mineral claims located in Guibord, Michaud, Barnet, Garrison and McCool Townships. These contiguous claims total 6,673 ha and are owned 100% by Moneta, excluding the Dyment 3 claim block (eight unpatented claims totaling 52.2 ha) that is held 75% by Moneta and 25% by Kirkland Lake Gold Inc.
The five deposits on the property, which have had mineral resources estimated for them, (South West, Windjammer South, Discovery, Windjammer North, and 55) have been classified as structurally controlled orogenic gold deposits in an Archean greenstone belt setting. This deposit type is a significant source of gold mined in the Superior and Slave provinces of the Canadian Shield. These deposits are typically quartz-carbonate vein hosted and are distributed along crustal-scale fault zones that mark convergent margins between major lithological boundaries such as those between volcano-plutonic and sedimentary domains. The Golden Highway Project is located on the DPFZ, a major regional structure. The deposits are shown in Figure 15-2. A resource estimate completed by Micon International Limited for the Golden Highway Project is shown in Table 15-1.

Notes:
-
Mineral Resource Estimates are reported at a cut-off grade of 3.00 g/t Au for an underground mining scenario, except for the South West zone which used the cut-off determined in this PEA (2.6 g/t). For most zones the cut-off grade was calculated at a gold price of US$1,250 per ounce, an exchange rate of US$/C$ of 0.75 and operational assumptions outlined in Section 14 of this report. The cut-off for the South West zone was derived by calculations presented in the mining sections of this report.
-
The resource estimate is supported by statistical analysis with different high grade capping applied to each of the deposits ranging from 6.0 g/t Au to 37.0 g/t Au on 1-m composites.
-
The mineral resources presented here were estimated with a block size of 10 m x 5 m x 10 m utilizing sub-blocks of variable size as required and constrained within geological wireframes with a minimum width of 1.50 m, except for the South West update. There the mineral resources were estimated using a sub-blocked model with a parent block size of 15 m x 5 m x 15 m and child block size down to 5 m x 1 m x 5m utilizing these sub-blocks as required and constrained within geological wireframes with a minimum width of 1.50 m. The cells are estimated by Ordinary Kriging using the appropriate variogram model of each structure with individual search ellipsoids.
-
The mineral resources presented here were estimated by Micon International Limited using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Definitions and Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves.
-
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, market or other relevant issues.

-
The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Resources are somewhat uncertain in nature and there has not been sufficient work to define these Inferred Resources as Indicated or Measured Resources.
-
There are no historical underground voids from mining including shafts, ramps drifts or stopes in any of the deposit areas.
-
Tonnage estimates are based on bulk densities individually measured and calculated for each of the deposit areas, averaging 2.78 tonnes per cubic metre for the total resource. Resources are presented as undiluted and in situ.
-
This mineral resource estimate effective date for the South West and West Block is dated September 9, 2020. All other zones are dated January 15, 2019. The effective date for the drill hole database used to produce this updated mineral resource estimate for South West and West Block is November 26, 2019 and November 19, 2018 for the other zones. Tonnages and ounces in the tables are rounded to the nearest thousand and hundred respectively. Numbers may not total precisely due to rounding.
-
At the present time, Micon does not believe that the mineral resource estimate is materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.

17 INTERPRETATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
It is the conclusion of the QPs that the Resource Estimate which is the subject of this Technical Report contains adequate detail and information to support advancing the project to ascertain its potential economic viability. To date, the QPs are not aware of any fatal flaws for the Project.
The Fenn-Gib Deposit comprises over two primary zones; the Main and Deformation zones that extend over a strike length of 1,000 m, with dips averaging 75[o] , to depths greater than 450 m.
The updated Mineral Resource Estimate incorporates more than 420 drill holes totaling 134,546 m. There is more than 2.01 Moz of gold contained in the Indicated Mineral Resources. The project also contains more than 0.07 Moz of gold in the Inferred Mineral Resource category. The Mineral Resource Estimate for Fenn-Gib Deposit is reported at a base case above a 0.35 g/t Au cut-off, as tabulated below in Table 17-1.
This estimate is based upon the reasonable prospect of eventual economic extraction based on continuity an optimized pit, using estimates of operating costs and price assumptions. The “reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction” were tested using floating cone pit shells based on reasonable prospects of eventual economic assumptions. The pit optimization results are used solely for the purpose of testing the “reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction” and do not represent an attempt to estimate Mineral Reserves.
Table 17-1 shows tonnage and grade in the Fenn-Gib Deposit and includes all mineralized units but also resources withing the meta-sediments, volcanics and pyroxenes outside the mineralized envelopes at a 0.35 g/t Au cut-off grade.

Table 17-2 identifies what are currently deemed to be the most significant internal project risks, potential impacts, and possible mitigation approaches. The most significant potential risks associated with the project are changes in regulatory requirements, ability to raise financing and a reduction in gold price. These risks are common to most mining projects, many of which may be mitigated, at least to some degree, with additional information, adequate engineering, planning and pro-active management.

18 RECOMMENDATIONS
The Fenn-Gib Deposit is an exploration project that hosts significant gold mineralization. Kirkham recommends additional work to expand the current resource base and to confirm the economic potential of the Fenn-Gib Deposit and the rest of the Property.
At the Fenn-Gib Deposit, it’s reasonable to expect that the majority of the Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with further diamond drilling, and additional infill drilling is recommended. The mineralized zones encountered at the Fenn-Gib Deposit remain open at depth, as well as along strike in both the east and west directions. Additional targeted resource expansion drilling is therefore warranted.
Following the infill and resource expansion drill programs, an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), to confirm the potential economic viability of the mineral resources, is recommended.
A summary of the proposed work program, including a budget estimate is shown in Table 18-1. The recommendations outlined below are divided into two phases. Expenditures for Phase I of the work program, including drilling on the Fenn-Gib Deposit, historical core rehabilitation, an airborne magnetic survey, regional structural analysis and compilation, and further metallurgical studies are estimated at $9,600,000. Expenditures for Phase II of the work program, comprising an update of the Mineral Resource Estimate and a PEA study, are estimated at $400,000. The grand total is $11,000,000, including a 10% contingency.
18.1 Phase I
Drilling program on the Fenn-Gib Deposit, airborne magnetic survey, and property-scale structural analysis and compilation.
- - Phase 1a) In fill Drilling on the Fenn Gib Deposit
Kirkham recommends further infill definition drilling to upgrade Inferred resources to an Indicated category and confirm the potential for a high grade starter pit. Drilling is also warranted in the upper Fenn-Gib Deposit section to test numerous historical drill holes that did not drill through the entire mineralized stratigraphy, with some holes ending in mineralization.
Phase 1b) Drilling Extensions of the Mineralized Zones
Kirkham recommends additional potential resource expansion exploration drilling on the FennGib Deposit. The program should target the already identified mineralized shoots at depth, and also test the east and west strike extensions of the mineralization outside the conceptual pit shell. Limited previous drilling has identified a mineralized zone within the footwall mafic volcanics located to the north of and below the conceptual pit. Further drilling is warranted in the footwall mafic volcanics to determine the extent of mineralization.

Phase 1c) Core Rehabilitation
Document and rehabilitate historic core. Sample un-sampled intersections.
Phase 1d) Airborne Magnetic Survey
A high-resolution airborne magnetic survey to define new areas of potential mineralization is recommended. The airborne survey should be flown in two flight directions: 1. In a North-South flight direction to further define the regional east-west striking lithology and Pipestone and Procupine-Destor faults, and 2: Flight lines flown perpendicular to the approximate north-northeast to north-east trending fault structures where gold mineralization in the regional Fenn-Gib area is often related to the intersection of structures, and where structures are associated with favorable host rock for gold deposition.
Phase 1e) Structural Study and Property Compilation
A property-wide structural study should be completed utilizing the airborne magnetic survey data. This, together with a comprehensive property compilation, will provide an improved understanding of the gold distribution of the Fenn-Gib Deposit as well as known gold showings. These studies should provide further data to assist in developing new drill targets on the property.
Phase 1f) Road Building
Build roads to new drill sites.
Phase 1g) Mineralogy and Metallurgical Test-work
Crowie recommends that metallurgical samples be developed from splits of the drill core from the in-fill and extension drilling, and separate metallurgical holes if necessary, to conduct mineralogical and further composite testing. The current test-work has identified that there is a portion of refractory gold in the ore which should be better understood.
More detailed comminution parameters such as Bond Rod Mill Work Index and Bond Crushing Work Index should also be included in the test-work. The limited comminution test-work in 2014 identified that the Fenn-Gib ore is harder than average (considered moderately hard).
Gravity recovery could be better quantified in future testwork programs by conducting a GRG test which simulates gold being liberated in a grinding circuit at different sizes and will typically indicate a maximum limit of gold recovery in a grinding circuit, while the method used in the previous testwork programs will indicate more of a minimum gold recovery.
The existing testwork indicates that a recovery up to 95% may be possible with a more complex flowsheet (which would include grinding, gravity, flotation, oxidation, and cyanidation). Flotation optimization and oxidation methods should be prioritized in upcoming testwork programs.
A flotation optimization program will provide a better understanding of how to achieve the maximum recovery at a targeted concentrate grade.
There are several options for recovering refractory gold which can include simple aeration (add oxygen which will cause the sulphides to oxidize), pressure oxidation (autoclave), ultra-fine

grinding, and the Albion Process (ultra-fine grinding followed by an atmospheric oxidation process).
- 18.2 Phase II – Mineral Resource Estimate Update and Preliminary Economic Assessment
Phase 2a) Mineral Resource Estimate Update and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Fenn-Gib Deposit
Following the completion of the Phase 1 Fenn-Gib Deposit drilling programs a Mineral Resource Estimate update is recommended, as well as the commencement of a Preliminary Economic Assessment to assess the potential economic viability of the updated Mineral Resource Estimate.
