HIGH GRADE METALS PROJECT OVERVIEW
Austrian Gold Projects
The Company has a 100% interest in five Austrian gold projects covering a total of 200km2 .
Schellgaden North Gold Project
The flagship project lies within an exploration area of 152 overlapping Freischürfe covering an area of 69km². Located in the historic Schellgaden Mining District (refer Figure 2 below), named after the village of Schellgaden, the focus of the district gold production until the early years of the 20th Century. Gold mining at Schellgaden dates back to pre-Roman times.
Known gold mines, such as Stüblbau, date back to the 12th-13th Century and the smaller Schulterbau Mine is likely to be considerably older. Chroniclers described the presence of some 150 gold mines

during the heyday of mining in the 16th Century. Accordingly, Schellgaden has been considered one of the richest and most active gold mining districts in Austria. Although frequently interrupted, mining activity continued until the first half of the 20th Century.
1. Schellgaden South Gold Project
The flagship project lies within an exploration area of 120 overlapping Freischürfe covering an area of 57.6km². The project covers the southern extension of the Schellgaden North Gold Project.
2. Goldeck-Siflitz Gold Project
The project lies within an exploration area of 57 overlapping Freischürfe covering an area of 27.6km².
The project covers the historic mine workings of Guginock. The area has been known from the Middle Ages for its deposits of gold and antimony. The large number of mine dumps and traces of collapsed mine entrances that occur across the exploration area, provide testimony to its long history of mining. To the north of the project area lies the ancient Siflitz Gold Mining District, which was exploited during the 16th and 17th centuries from over 106 independent mine sites.
3. Kreuzeck East Gold Project
The project lies within an exploration area of 42 overlapping Freischürfe covering an area of 20.5km². The project covers two famous old mining districts; the high grade gold mines north of Lengholz and the stibnite deposits of Lessnig-Radlberg that sit within the Goldeck-Kreuzeck Mining District. Compared the other projects, little is known about these mines and others within the project area as they have been abandoned for some time and are inaccessible.
4. Kreuzeck West Gold Project
The project lies within an exploration area of 44 overlapping Freischürfe covering an area of 23.9km². The projects also sits within the Goldeck-Kreuzek Mining District and includes for significant historical mines; Rabant, Gurskerkammer, Fundkofel, and Knappenstube-Strieden.

Austrian Copper, Cobalt and Nickel Projects
The Company has a 100% interest in four Austrian gold projects covering a total of 85km2 .
1. Leogang Cobalt, Copper, Nickel Project
The project lies within an exploration area of 63 overlapping Freischürfe covering an area of 27km². The project covers one of the oldest and most famous mining localities in Austria, the Schwarzelo Valley, where mining was first documented in 1425. Nickel and cobalt were mined in the region from the mid-16th century when Leogang was famed for the diversity of its mineralogy and rich ore. At various times in its past, cobalt, nickel, copper and silver have been mined at Leogang. Mines include the Nöckelberg and Leogang mines. The Nöckelberg Prospect is the Company's immediate focus for which an Exploration Target has been prepared.
2. Gratlspitz Cobalt, Copper, Nickel Project
The flagship project lies within an exploration area of 132 overlapping Freischürfe covering an area of 53km². The project lies within the Schwaz-Brixlegg Mining District, a renowned mining region, famous as the type locality of the mercurian fahlore variety 'schwazite'. The region was a significant producer of copper and cobalt. Exploitation of copper deposits dates back to the Late Bronze Age (9th Century BC – Breitenlechner et al., 2013). The first recording of a copper and silver refinery at Brixlegg dates back to 1463. Between 1420 and 1827, it has been estimated that some 190,000 tonnes of copper and 2,600 tonnes of silver were mined in this area. Cobalt occurrences are located at "Silberberg" (2 km

south-southeast of Brixlegg), "Geyer", which lies close to Zimmermoos, 2 km - 6 km southeast of Brixlegg, and on the flanks of Gratlspitz Mountain.
3. Seekar Cobalt, Copper and Nickel Project
The project lies within an exploration area of 9 overlapping Freischürfe covering an area of approximately 4km².
The project covers historic mine sites first established during the 16th century and mined intermittently through to 1923. Mineralisation is associated with hydrothermal vein sulphides and is typically polymetallic, copper, silver, nickel and cobalt. Vein thicknesses of up to 2m have been historically mined.
4. Zinkwand Cobalt, Copper and Nickel Project
The project lies within an exploration area of 2 overlapping Freischürfe covering an area of approximately 1km².
The project covers the site of historic sulphide mining including both cobalt and nickel. Several historical mining adits are still accessible within the project area.
