COVID-19
The global outbreak of a novel coronavirus pandemic identified as “COVID-19”, has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put in place by Canada and other countries in which the Company may conduct future mineral interests or business acquisitions to fight the virus.

Technical Report Summary
Overview
Mr. John Rice, MSc, P.Geo., AIPG, consulting geologist, prepared a technical report as a National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) Technical Report (the “Technical Report”) on the WUSA Gold Project with an effective date of September 4, 2020. The WUSA Gold Project is located in the State of Oregon, USA, about 60 km south of the city of Eugene and 130km south of the capital, Salem.
The Technical Report was prepared for the Company to provide an initial technical assessment and summary of the WUSA Gold Project and in support of a letter of intent agreement (the “LOI”) with Mawson. The Technical Report can be found on the Company’s website www.aguila.gold or at www.sedar.com.
Property Description and Ownership
The WUSA Gold Project lies immediately east and south of the township of Cottage Grove within the Western Cascades, central-western Oregon, USA on the boundary of the Lane and Douglas Counties, and is accessible with a network of unpaved and forestry roads. Principal road networks originate from the Interstate 5 Freeway that marks the western boundary of the WUSA Gold Project, and the Row River Road that travels south from Cottage Grove towards Dorena.
The WUSA Gold Project is characterised by rugged vegetated mountains with deep incision by substantial watercourses. The area has a long history of forest harvesting, which has provided a robust gravel road network, even through areas of steep terrain.
The Company has gained future rights to the WUSA Gold Project through the LOI to form a Joint Venture with Mawson. Mawson’s interest in the WUSA Gold Project is held by its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary M2 Resources Corp, which is the 100% owner of Mawson Resources USA Inc. (“Mawson USA”), a US registered corporation. In February 2021 the Company advised Mawson that conditions have been met under the LOI for Aguila to hold 51% equity in the WUSA Gold Project.
The WUSA Gold Project is the subject of a pre-existing agreement between Mawson USA and a private landholder (the “Landholder”). In 2017, the Landholder invited Mawson USA to explore a defined area of their land, their Bureau of Land Management claims, and the public or private land that surrounds or lies within their landholding, subject to various conditions. Mawson USA received confidential data from the Landholder, gained access rights for surface sampling, and could select smaller priority areas for additional detailed work under the WUSA Option Agreement. Mawson completed regional exploration and data collection, and transferred a number of areas to the WUSA Option Agreement.
Through the Joint Venture with Mawson, the Company has gained rights to the priority areas, the confidential data, rights to explore the large forestry area, and rights to select additional smaller priority areas for detailed work. The Company must complete certain minimum exploration to ensure the Joint Venture with Mawson and the WUSA Option Agreement with the Landholder remain in good standing. Conditions have been met to achieve a 51% holding in the WUSA Gold Project.
Exploration History
The WUSA Gold Project and surrounding region is very under-explored in comparison to similar North American cordilleran terranes. The mineral and land rights have been held as a contiguous parcel by one third party landholder for at least 50 years. The Landholder has not completed significant modern exploration prior to the agreement with Mawson and has not permitted exploration to be undertaken on their land.
Very limited exploration was undertaken by the Landholder across the WUSA Gold Project area to evaluate the potential for undiscovered mineralized systems. Sporadic geological mapping and low level prospecting was completed across the WUSA Gold Project area during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, culminating in the drilling of 10 percussion drillholes at the Walker Creek prospect.

Following the establishment of an agreement with the Landholder, Mawson undertook exploration during 2018 to test the broader WUSA Gold Project and follow up on priority prospect areas. Mawson undertook a variety of regional and prospect-based work programs including geochemistry and geophysics, with a focus on the Scorpion-Cinnabar and Huckleberry areas. Both prospects were drill tested, with the one hole at Scorpion-Cinnabar intersecting gold mineralization with widespread alteration and anomalous pathfinder metals indicative of potential for a lowsulphidation epithermal system.
Geology and Mineralization
The Western Cascades, where the WUSA Gold Project is located, lie between the High Cascade Range and Willamette Valley. Geologically the region is generally comprised of late Eocene to late Miocene andesites, basaltic andesites, pyro-volcaniclastic rocks and, to a lesser extent, of dacite, trachyte, and rhyolite.
The extensive development of pyroclastic rocks, widespread alteration and hydrous alteration phases in the Western Cascades evidences the hydrous magmatic setting and the formation in a subduction-related environment. The thickness of volcanic accumulation in the Western Cascades exceeds 6,000m. Interbedded sedimentary rocks unrelated to volcanism constitute a minor component of the Western Cascades, while small dioritic intrusions are widespread and commonly cluster in the larger mining districts.
Most base and precious metal occurrences in rocks of the Western Cascades are typically composed of economic sulphide minerals within quartz veins or shear zones, and contain gold with or without silver, lead, zinc, copper, and (or) antimony. Vein textures and alteration assemblages suggest classification as polymetallic vein deposits or epithermal based on the host rock, commodities present, and mineralogy.
While the WUSA Gold Project area remains poorly studied, the geological setting, hydrothermal alteration, styles of gold-silver mineralization, and close spatial and timing association with substantial hot-spring mercury deposits (Black Butte), suggests the region has potential for high level low-sulfidation and epithermal precious metal deposits.
A number of prospect areas have been defined within the WUSA Project area. The Walker Creek, Huckleberry and Scorpion-Cinnabar prospects are all associated with intense epithermal style mineralization, while Walker Creek and Scorpion-Cinnabar both demonstrate gold in drilling.
Conclusions and Recommendations of the Technical Report
Through the Joint Venture, the Company has gained access and prospective title to a large area of privately owned mineral rights within the Western United States. The work completed by the Landholder and Mawson, though sparse, has demonstrated bedrock gold mineralization in areas of intense epithermal hydrothermal style alteration.
Consistent surface exploration has never been completed suggesting the potential for discovery near surface and at relatively low cost. The volume of drilling is extremely low considering geological setting, accounted for by the limited past access granted by the Landholder.
Based on the historical information reviewed to date, the best opportunities for future exploration success and potential development toward mining, are the Scorpion-Cinnabar and Walker Creek prospects. Both sites encountered gold in bedrock drilling which has not been followed up.
Mr. John Rice, author of the Technical Report, recommended additional exploration expenditure on the WUSA Gold Project. General recommendations applying to the regional areas are provided, along with proposed exploration programs and budget estimates for the more advanced prospects.
Recommendation for Phase 1 and 2 exploration across the WUSA Gold Project totals approximately $1,250,000.
Exploration Activities Completed by the Company
On December 16, 2020 the Company announced that it had completed four diamond core holes for a total of 649 meters.

The Company’s drill program tested the Scorpion-Cinnabar prospect, one of four prospects identified at the WUSA Gold Project to date. Scorpion-Cinnabar is defined by a 2.2 km long and up to 400-metre-wide gold and arsenic in soil geochemical anomaly that trends south of the historic Black Butte epithermal mercury mine. An association between mercury and epithermal gold mineralization is very common, where gold may lie at depth or along strike from the mercury enriched zone.
Drilling used existing forest road access and tested a strike length of 1.2 km along the gold-arsenic anomaly trend.

All holes intersected andesite volcanics and volcaniclastics with regular fault, breccia, altered and oxidized zones that correspond to hydrothermal fluid pathways and may be associated with gold-silver mineralization.
Drill core has been geologically and structurally logged, photographed, and prepared for sampling. Due to a heavy sample backlog and COVID-19 work restrictions, analytical laboratory turnaround is slow and results have not been received.
In March 2021, the Company announced completion of a detailed remote sensing study for the WUSA Gold Project. This work generated a structural, geological and exploration target map on a scale previously unavailable for the property. The study processed and interpreted various satellite datasets to provide direct targets based on alteration signatures, and indirect targets based on domal and structural positions.
The remote sensing study integrated a range of regional datasets with the intent of prioritizing gold mineralization at the Walker Creek and Scorpion-Cinnabar prospects and identifying new prospective targets. Once the data from the fall 2020 drill program is received this will be integrated to provide a greater understanding of the project.
ASTER, Sentinel-2 super spectral, Lidar and NASA’s STRM digital elevation data were processed to provide direct targets based on alteration signatures, and indirect targets based on domal and structural positions. While the WUSA Gold Project itself exceeds 70,000 Ha, an area more than four times this size was studied for context and to highlight regional opportunities. As the surface and mineral rights for the WUSA Gold Project have been held by a single landholder without significant exploration for more than 50 years, historic exploration data is very sparse, and this study provides a much needed regional understanding.
The study identified zones of mixed alteration potentially indicative of epithermal fluids, and zones of structural complexity that crosscut the volcanic/volcaniclastic pile. Domal features may suggest shallowly buried syn-volcanic intrusions that are commonly associated with epithermal gold mineralization. These areas will be integrated with existing geochemical data and form immediate targets for surface follow up
Exploration of prospect areas is being planned including stream sediment and soil sampling that has only been locally completed across the WUSA Gold Project area. The WUSA Gold Project provides multiple opportunities for discovery, covering approximately 70,000 ha of land that has seen very little modern exploration. The land and mineral rights have been held by a single landholder for more than 50 years over which time mineral rights have never been optioned to third parties.
