West Mining Kena Project

Certificate of Qualified Person

I, Sue Bird, P.Eng., am employed as a Geological Engineer with Moose Mountain Technical Services, with an office address of #210 1510 2nd Street North Cranbrook, BC V1C 3L2. This certificate applies to the technical report titled “Resource Estimate for the Kena and Daylight Properties” that has an effective date of March 25, 2021 (the “technical report”).

I am a member of the self-regulating Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia (#25007). I graduated with a Geologic Engineering degree (B.Sc.) from the Queen’s University in 1989 and a M.Sc. in Mining from Queen’s University in 1993.

I have worked as an engineering geologist for over 25 years since my graduation from university. I have worked on precious metals, base metals and coal mining projects, including mine operations and evaluations. Similar resource estimate projects specifically include those done for Artemis’ blackwater gold project, Ascot’s Premier Gold Project, Spanish Mountain Gold, all in BC; O3’s Marban and Garrison, gold projects in Quebec and Ontario, respectively, as well as numerous due diligence gold projects in the southern US done confidentially for various clients.

As a result of my experience and qualifications, I am a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43–101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43–101).

I visited the property between 26 and 28 January 2021.

I am responsible for all sections of the technical report.

I am independent of West Mining, Inc. as independence is described by Section 1.5 of NI 43–101.

I have no previous involvement with the Kena Project.

I have read NI 43–101 and the sections of the technical report for which I am responsible have been prepared in compliance with that Instrument.

As of the effective date of the technical report, to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the sections of the technical report for which I am responsible contain all scientific and technical information that is required to be disclosed to make the technical report not misleading.

Dated: 3 May 2021

Notes for Table 1-1:

1. Resources are reported using the 2014 CIM Definition Standards and were estimated using the 2019 CIM Best Practices Guidelines.

2. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

3. The Mineral Resource has been confined by a “reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction” pit using the following assumptions: US $2,000/oz. Au at a currency exchange rate of 0.77 US$ per $CDN; 99.95% payable Au, 96.5% payable Cu; $4.30/oz Au offsite costs (refining, transport and insurance), 0.467 Cu offsite; a 3% NSR royalty; and uses a 88% metallurgical recovery for gold for all areas and 85% recovery for Cu in the Cu zone only.

4. Pit slope angles are assumed at 45º.

5. The specific gravity of the deposit has been assigned as 2.8 based on sg measurements in the Kena deposit

6. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

Mineral Tenure

The Kena Project is currently owned by Apex Resources, Inc. and optioned by West Mining Corporation. The Kena property consists of 153 mineral claims totalling 8,109ha, excluding overlap. Nine claims in the Kena property expire in 2023, the remainder are good until 2027 or 2028. The Daylight property comprises 21 mineral claims, and 11 crown granted claims. The Daylight Claims are good through 2028.

1.4 Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

Accessibility

==> picture [25 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

The properties are in an area of rugged terrain. Topography on the properties is steep with elevations ranging from 895m to 1,795m on the southwest portion of the claim area. Several portions of the property have been logged; the remainder is covered with first and second growth forest. Highway 6 passes along the eastern margin of the claim block, and then bends southwest to cross the southern part of the property. Forest service roads provide access onto the property. The Highway 6 corridor carries a powerline and a decommissioned railbed.

Climate

==> picture [25 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

The climate of the Kena and Daylight properties is typical of the southern interior of British Columbia, with temperatures ranging between –20[ο] C to 30[ο] C. It is possible to operate on the property all year round; however, winter conditions do create challenges.

1.5 History

The current Kena Project was historically worked as several segmented properties. The area of the Kena Property was first described by G.M. Dawson in 1888, however little is known about exploration on the claim area prior to 1973, Since then the property has been optioned and worked by various companies. Apex obtained the Kena claims in 1999, and continued to expand them to include the Shaft, Daylight, and other claims thereafter. Prior to July 18, 2016, Apex Resources operated under the name of Sultan Minerals.

1.6 Geological Setting and Mineralization

The Kena Project is situated within the Elise Formation of the Rossland Group. The Rossland Group, within the southern Omineca Crystalline Belt, is an uplifted zone of variably metamorphosed and deformed Proterozoic to Tertiary rocks that straddles the boundary between accreted terranes and ancestral North America. The Kena property lies within lower-Jurassic Elise Formation (Fm) mafic volcanics and associated mid- Jurassic Silver King dioritic porphyry (Silver King) rocks.

Exploration work has identified several zones of prospective gold or copper mineralization. Gold zones include Gold Mountain (GMZ), Kena Gold (KGZ), High-Grade (HGZ), and South Gold (SGZ). Copper (Cu) mineralization occurs in the Kena Copper (KCZ) zone. There are also several under-explored new and historic targets.

The mineralization at Kena may be related to a property-scale zone deformation zone associated with the contact between the Elise Fm and the Silver King. In particular, the Gold Mountain, Kena Gold, and South Gold zones occur along this trend.

The Gold Mountain and Kena Gold zones contain broad widths of bulk tonnage-style gold mineralization containing high-grade shoots, which is coincident with soil geochemistry and geophysical anomalies.

Mineralization in the sparsely drilled Kena Copper zone suggests a copper-gold porphyry-style model.

The southwestern half of the Daylight property is underlain by strongly sheared, undifferentiated mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks of the Jurassic Elise Formation (Je). The historical Starlight, Victoria and Daylight mines are aligned along a single, mostly continuous quartz vein traceable through the Daylight property area for at least 1300m. Gold mineralization has a strong affinity for the vein and its immediate contact margins, with only rare sample returns of anomalous gold in the host volcanics. Mineralization typically includes pyrite or rarely pyrrhotite, with minor chalcopyrite, with rare coarse grains of galena or sphalerite.

NI 43-101 Resource Estimate Page 13 of 165

==> picture [161 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

West Mining Kena Project

The northeast half of the Daylight property is underlain by variably altered and fractured felsic to intermediate intrusives of the Jurassic Silver King Porphyry (Jsk) stock. The property is immediately adjacent to the ~ 1km wide Silver King Shear system, which is host to the famous Silver King Mine. The historical Great Western and Great Eastern mines on the Daylight property are underlain by the Jurassic Silver King Porphyry (Jsk) near its southwestern contact margin with the Elise volcanics. Mineralization is in the form of sheeted quartz vein systems with accessory pyrite-chalcopyrite and rarely galena or sphalerite.

1.7 Exploration

From 2000 to 2003, significant exploration programs on the Kena Property were conducted. Work consisted of 97 diamond drillholes, ground and airborne magnetic surveys, induced polarization surveys, soil sampling, mapping and rock chip sampling and trenching. Between 2003 and 2010, continued annual exploration by Apex on the Kena and Daylight Properties has consisted of soil and rock chip sampling, geophysical surveys, geological mapping, trenching and additional diamond drilling.

In 2011, Apex optioned the Kena property (not including the Daylight) to Altair Gold Inc. In 2012, Altair completed an exploration program which included soil sampling, rock sampling, ground geophysics, geophysical compilation, diamond drilling and a LiDAR survey. The property subsequently reverted to Apex.

In 2016, the Kena and Daylight Properties were optioned to Prize/Boundary. Prize completed no additional exploration work on the Kena Property but in 2017 did mapping, prospecting, soil geochemical and geophysical surveys, trenching, environmental (water) sampling and diamond drilling on the Daylight Property. Detailed reports on each of the annual exploration programs have been filed as assessment reports with the Ministry of Energy and Mines.

1.8 Drilling

A total of 252 holes totalling 39,819.19m have been drilled in the model areas between 1974 and 2017 by multiple operators. Between 2001 and 2017, 28,366.36m have been drilled, or 71% of the drilling.

Drilling by Apex occurred in years 2001-2010. During 2001, a total of 29 diamond drillholes were completed, for a total of 4,901.1m on Kena-Gold Mountain. The first seven holes of 2001 confirmed the depth extension of widespread, porphyry-style gold mineralization within the Silver King intrusive and across the contact into the Elise Volcanics.

A second phase of drilling was conducted later in 2001 and into 2002, including diamond drillholes and reverse circulation drillholes The results indicated zones of “bulk-tonnage type” gold mineralization, with multiple holes containing 100m wide zones averaging >1g/t gold. Several holes also intersected high-grade gold, indicating a gold-enriched zone spatially related to the contact between the Silver King Porphyry and the footwall of the Elise Volcanics.

Through the summer and fall of 2002 drilling was carried out on all areas of the project. In the Gold Mountain area, holes tested the depth and strike length of gold mineralization, and the intrusive-volcanic contact. Many holes contained high grade gold assays over two-meter intervals, often surrounded by at

==> picture [161 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

West Mining Kena Project

least 100m of lower grade gold values, with many holes averaging over 0.3g/t gold for the entire length of the hole. The drilling in the Copper Zone was all within the Elise Volcanic package and showed that gold and copper mineralization increases and becomes widespread towards grid south.

All drilling in 2003 and 2004 was within the Kena-Gold Mountain area, 22 holes were completed in 2003, for a total of 1.086.73m, and four holes completed in 2004 for a total of 613.26m.

In 2010, ten holes were drilled by Apex, seven holes on Kena-Gold Mountain, totalling 845.24m, and three in the Copper Zone, totalling 740.05m.

In 2012 by Altair Gold Inc., 41 NQ2-sized diamond drillholes were completed in the Kena-Gold Mountain area, for a total of 7,527.02m. Drilling was intended to fill in gaps between wide-spaced drilling and expand the mineral resource and was successful in defining wide zones of gold mineralization with narrow higher-grade intervals, consistent with results from historic drilling.

In 2017, twelve holes were completed by Prize Mining on Daylight, totalling 1,669.71m, and six holes were completed on Great Eastern and Great Western, totalling 1,025.06m.

1.9 Sampling and Analysis

Previous owners have conducted all drill core handling and sampling.

The two latest drilling campaigns include QAQC samples, however the prior drilling included in the resource database do not. The percent of QAQC samples is considered lower than normal, and a possible high bias is indicated by two gold CRMs in the 2012 drilling, which may reflect the small number of QAQC samples, or problems with the materials themselves. There are no QAQC samples in the drilling in the Copper Zone. In the opinion of the QP, the QAQC is accepted for resource estimation at this time.

1.10 Data Verification

A site visit was undertaken by the QP during 26-28 January 2021 to review the site location, core storage, core geology, and protocols. During the site visit, twelve drill core samples were selected for check assay by MMTS, and the results are acceptable.

MMTS notes multiple corrections to the database including the addition of missing copper assays to intervals within the copper zone, and addition of all certificate numbers to the database. It is also noted that approximately 20% of assays are missing certificates in the Assessment Reports.

Check assays with certificates are available for drilling in years 1990, 2001, and 2002, with the results from 2001-2002 showing potential small high bias to the gold assays.

The QP has accepted the database for resource estimation.

1.11 Environmental Studies, Permitting and Social or Community Impact

1.12 Recommendations

MMTS recommends that:

A drilling program be conducted in two phases one exploring targets on the Daylight portion of the property and the other on the Kena side. Phase 2 is not contingent upon the results of the Phase 1 as the phases target separate zones. In Phase 1, up to twelve short step-out diamond drillholes will test the Starlight Vein system and two fences of six to eight holes will be drilled in the Great Western area to expand on previously identified intrusive related gold mineralization in that zone. Phase 2 consists of diamond drilling on the Kena portion of the property with two priority target areas, the Kena Copper Zone with fifteen holes and the Gold Mountain-Kena Gold zone to bring a portion of the inferred resource into the measured and indicated category. Total estimated cost of drilling is $1,165,000 CAD.
Future drilling programs employ QAQC sample inclusion rates consistent with current practice to include blanks, field duplicates and CRMs, and that certified blank material be sourced for future assaying.
Although the resource database has been verified and is deemed acceptable, a robust check assay sampling program including QAQC samples be conducted using a certified laboratory comprising 5-10% of core for years for which drill core is available to compensate for missing certificates, lack of QAQC samples and potential bias noted in the 2012 drilling QAQC and 2001-2002 check assays.
• The assay database be amended to include silver and copper for all available samples from certificates.

Property Description and Location

4.1 Introduction

The current Kena Project was historically worked as several segmented properties. Within the Kena Project, there are now three areas individually referred to as the Kena Property, Daylight Property and Southern Extension. The current resource estimate only includes the Kena and Daylight Properties. The project lies in southern British Columbia, approximately 400km east of Vancouver, BC and 5km southeast of Nelson, BC.

The Kena property, located within the Nelson Mining Division, is centered at a latitude and longitude of 49°26’ N, 117°17' E, within map sheets 82F.034, 82F.035, 82F.044, and 82F.045.

The Daylight property is located southwest of and adjoins the Kena property. The claims cover an area of approximately 270 hectares and are centered at Latitude 49°29' 56'' N, Longitude 117°18' 02'' W (UTM Z11N 0478200 E, 5475550 N NAD83).

The locations of the Kena and Daylight properties of the Kena Project are shown in Figure 4-1.

4.2 Property and Mineral Title in British Columbia

Prior to 1 June 1991, recordation in respect of a mineral claim or mining lease in British Columbia were manually recorded on, or attached to, the original application document for a mineral claim or the original lease document for a mining lease. From June 1991 to 11 January 2005, all records were entered into a computer database, maintained by the Gold Commissioner’s Office. On 12 January 2005, the British Columbia mineral titles system was converted to an online registry system, MTO, and ground-staking of claims was eliminated in favour of map-staking based on grid cells.

Claims recorded prior to 12 January 2005 are referred to as legacy claims; Claims acquired through map staking are referred to as cell claims. From and after the date of changeover to map-staking, claim holders could convert legacy claims to cell claims, or maintain the original legacy claim. Legacy claims vary in size and shape, depending on the regulations that were in force at the time of staking and recordation. Cell claims comprise from 1 to 100 cells which range from 21 hectares in southern British Columbia to 16 hectares in the north.

Mineral title may also be held as part of Crown grants or freehold tenure issued under separate grant, such as a railway grant. Crown-granted mineral rights originate from staked mineral claims that were surveyed then granted from the Crown to private individuals or corporations under the legislation in effect at the time of grant.

There can be instances where there may be more than one type of mineral tenure in existence over the same land area; examples are where a Crown-granted mineral title is overlapped by a mineral tenure granted under the Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia) (the MTA). In this case, the holder of the MTA mineral tenure is entitled only to those minerals not covered in the Crown-granted mineral title.

==> picture [161 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

West Mining Kena Project

To keep claims in good standing in accordance with the MTA, a minimum value of work or cash-in-lieu is required annually. The minimum value of work required maintaining a legacy or cell mineral claim for one year is currently set at $5 per hectare for the first and second anniversary years, $10 per hectare for the third and fourth anniversary years, $15 per hectare in the fifth and sixth anniversary years and $20 per hectare for each subsequent anniversary year. The cash-in-lieu required to maintain a mineral claim for an anniversary year is double the value of the work commitment requirement.

The holder of a mineral claim or mining lease issued under the MTA does not have exclusive possession of the surface or exclusive right to use the surface of the land. However, the holder of such claims and leases does have the right to access the lands for the purpose of exploring for minerals and to use the surface for mining activities (exploration, development, and production).

The surface of a mineral claim or mining lease may either be privately owned or owned by the Crown.

The MTA provides for a recorded claim holder to use, enter, and occupy the surface of a claim for the exploration and development or production of minerals, including the treatment of ore and concentrates, and all operations related to the exploration and development or production of minerals and the business of mining, subject to production limits. Permits are required before undertaking most exploration or mining activity.

A mining lease is required if the claim holder wishes to produce more than 1,000 tonnes of ore in a year from each unit in a legacy claim (typically 25 hectares) or each cell in a cell claim. The holder of a mineral claim may obtain a mining lease for that claim if certain requirements are met (surveying if required, payment of fees, and posting of notices). A mining lease allows the lessee to hold Crown mineral lands for up to 30 years initially and is renewable if certain conditions are met. A recorded claim holder must give surface owners of private land and leaseholders of Crown land notice before entering for any mining activity. A recorded holder is liable to compensate the surface owner for loss or damage caused by the entry, occupation or use of the area for exploration and development or production of minerals.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

5.1 Accessibility

The properties are in an area of rugged terrain. Topography on the properties is steep with elevations ranging from 895m at Cottonwood Lake to 1,795m on the southwest portion of the claim area. Outcrop is somewhat limited - generally confined to creek gullies and road cuts, with more prevalent outcrops on steeper slopes. The Gold Mountain and Kena Gold Zones lie at an elevation of about 1,400m, along a relatively flat bench area above the steep topography leading to the Cottonwood valley.

Several portions of the property have been logged; the remainder is covered with first and second growth forest consisting of balsam, fir, spruce, hemlock, cedar, with occasional white pine and larch. Thick growths of alder and devil's club occur in creek gullies.

Highway 6 passes along the eastern margin of the claim block, and then bends southwest to cross the southern part of the property. The northern part of the Kena Project, including the Gold Mountain, Kena Gold, Daylight and South Gold Zones, is accessed by road seven kilometres south from Nelson, turning west off Highway 6, then travelling west and south using the Giveout and Gold Creek Forest Service Roads. The southern part of the property is accessed from further south along Highway 6, travelling east and south on the Clearwater Creek Forest Service Road. The Forest Service Roads are well maintained and easily accessible via pick-up truck. Several logging and 4x4 roads run through the claims, providing access to much of the property.

The Highway 6 corridor carries a powerline and a decommissioned railbed. Teck Resources Ltd.’s (Teck) Trail Operations facility, which includes a lead and zinc smelter and refinery, and the Waneta power dam, is located about 75 kilometres southwest of the property via paved highway. Crew lodgings are readily available in nearby Nelson or Salmo. A skilled labour force for mining and exploration is available in Nelson, Salmo, Trail, and Castlegar. Trail, Nelson, and Castlegar are major supply and service centres for resource industries.

5.2 Climate

The climate of the Kena and Daylight properties is typical of the southern interior of British Columbia, with freezing temperatures from 0 degrees Celsius ([ο] C) to –20[ο] C from November to March (averaging –5[ο] C), and mild temperatures ranging from 10[ο] C to 30[ο] C from April to October (averaging 15.7[ο] C). Precipitation averages 790 millimetres per year, with a substantial portion in the form of snow, which averages 225 centimetres per year. It is possible to operate on the property all year round; however, winter conditions create challenges. A typical exploration season spans June through October.

History

6.1 Kena Property

The area of the Kena Property was first described by G.M. Dawson in the Geological Survey of Canada Summary Report for 1888-1889. Dawson stated that gold mineralization is located within a “…quantity of pyritized material which…appears to be practically unlimited…” in size.

No further information on exploration appears in either the Geological Survey of Canada records or the Provincial Government records within the Ministry of Mines, thus little is known about exploration on the claim area prior to 1973. Post 1973 exploration, however, has identified numerous old prospect pits and trenches, as well as several old adits indicating periods of limited exploration activity in the early part of the century.

Prospector Otto Janout staked the original Kena claims in 1973. Since then the property has been optioned and worked by various companies. Prior to Apex obtaining the Kena claims in 1999, the property was divided into the Kena Property, located south of Gold Creek and the Shaft Property (now including Gold Mountain Zone) located to the north. After optioning the Kena claims from Janout, Apex acquired additional claims by staking to the south of the Kena Property, which includes the historic Euphrates and Gold Cup Mines. To the west, Apex also optioned several claims comprising the contiguous Daylight Property. Prior to July 18, 2016, Apex Resources operated under the name of Sultan Minerals.

Historic Kena Property

The historically referred to “Kena” is the portion of Apex’s Kena Property located south of Gold Creek and encompasses the Kena Gold, South Gold and Kena Copper Zones. Exploration work completed on this property since 1973 is summarized below.

1974 Ducanex Resources Ltd.

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

The company collected soil samples and drilled four percussion holes in the Kena Gold Zone. Chip sampling of the Main Trench in 1973 yielded 2.38 g/t gold over 9.85 metres. The soil sample results showed high copper and gold values, ranging up to 1,100 ppm copper and 4,600 ppb gold, with background gold values around 350 ppb. The company drilled four percussion holes aggregating 250 metres on the gold prospect. The results of the drilling suggested the presence of a mineralized zone from 6 to 12 metres thick of ranging from 1.36 to 1.70 g/t gold. The zone strikes at 290[o] , dips 60[o] to the southwest, and has a projected strike length of 230 metres. Prospecting also resulted in the discovery of a large zone of copper mineralization in the southeastern section of the claims.

1975 Lacanex Mining Company Ltd.

==> picture [31 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

A program of geological mapping and geochemical sampling was carried out over wide spaced (120 to 250 metre) grid lines in the southern portion of the claim block resulted in identifying a series of large linear copper geochemical anomalies which follow the regional foliation. 27 chip samples were taken at 3 metre

West Mining Kena Project

intervals along the entire 82 metres of an old adit located within the Kena Copper Zone, with the samples averaging 0.16% copper over the entire length. This adit was probably driven to intersect an outcropping 65 centimetres wide quartz vein at depth. A grab sample from the quartz vein assayed 1.1% copper and 2.6 g/t gold.

1976-77 Quintana Minerals Corporation

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

The program consisted of geological and geochemical surveys based on the hypothesis that visible sulphide mineralization within the Kena Copper Zone represented the upward extent of a porphyry copper sulphide system. In 1977, the Company carried out a wide spaced IP survey along lines 240 metres apart. The work resulted in a chargeability anomaly parallel to the strike of the volcanics and approximately coincident with the copper geochemical anomaly. Lithogeochemical sampling ranged as high as 21 metres of 0.53% copper along an outcrop of sericite schist.

1981-82 Kerr Addison Mines Ltd.

==> picture [32 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Kerr Addison’s exploration program consisted of both geological and geochemical surveys conducted over the entire property followed by six diamond drillholes. Three drillholes aggregating 528.5 metres were completed on the Kena Gold Zone. The best intercept from this work was 2.18 g/t gold over 15 metres in hole 81-KK-2. Three wide spaced holes aggregating 635.2 metres were completed in the Kena Copper Zone. The top 51 metres of drillhole 88-KK-4 assayed 0.27% copper. Samples representing 63 metres of the underlying 85 metres average 0.16% copper. Sampled intervals in drillhole 81-KK-6, near the previously sampled copper adit, yielded 0.18% copper over a 45-metre section. Gold content in these copper zone holes ranged up to 0.3 g/t locally.

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

1985 Lacana Mining Corporation

Lacana Mining Corporation carried out a program of backhoe trenching and drilled 13 holes aggregating 1,315.8 metres. Twelve of the holes were in the Kena Gold Zone with one hole, LK85-12, drilled approximately 175 metres south of the Kerr Addison hole 81-KK-4, at the northern end of the Kena Copper Zone.

The best drill intercept, located beneath the Kena Gold Zone Main Trench, yielded 6.05 g/t gold over 4.8 metres in hole LK85-7. While a step-out hole LK85-18 drilled about 100 metres southeast of LK85-7, yielded 1.86 metres grading 6.32 g/t gold. Other work carried out in this period included an airborne geophysical survey that measured magnetics, resistivity, electromagnetics, and VLF-EM.

==> picture [32 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

1986 Lacana Mining Corporation

Lacana’s program consisted of putting in an extensive grid covering an area about 1.70km by 0.70km northwest of the Kena Copper Zone. The company carried out geological and geochemical surveys as well as magnetic and VLF-EM surveys. The soil samples were analysed for gold, with select lines analyzed for 30 elements by ICP. The company drilled 22 holes around the Kena Gold Zone and its postulated extension. Hole LK86-20 yielded 9.03 metres grading 4.76 g/t gold. Numerous intersections of auriferous and barren silicified and pyritized fracture zones were identified in the drilling. Many of these zones tend to be aligned along a broad northwest trend. Most of the individual higher-grade zones were narrow with sub-economic grade, and the general conclusion was that their spotty and discontinuous characteristics made them difficult targets to chase to depth.

West Mining Kena Project

It is important to note that Lacana’s program was designed to locate relatively narrow but higher-grade gold intercepts, where later infill core sampling by Apex indicates that, in fact, broad widths of lower grade gold mineralization exist at the Kena Gold Zone.

1987 Tournigan Mining Exploration Ltd.

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Tournigan drilled six holes aggregating 918.93 metres. The core from this program was selectively split with only 89 samples aggregating 134.61 metres analyzed for gold, silver, and copper. Drillhole TK-87-42 was collared between previous holes KK-81-4 and LK85-12, within the Kena Copper Zone, to test anomalous gold and copper soil geochemistry and where there appeared to be a gap in previous drill coverage. Hole TK-87-42 was selectively sampled with 25 samples taken of which the best copper intersection was 0.175% copper over 9.72 metres.

Drillhole TK-87-43 was drilled to test Lacana’s geological interpretation of section 48+50N. Five intervals of 1.5 metre widths grading better than 1 g/t gold were returned.

The last four holes TK-87-44 to TK-87-47 were located in order to intersect the possible southern extension of a mineralized fracture zone approximately 500 metres north of the property, known as the Shaft showing. However, no structure or mineralized zone was interpreted as the southern extension of the Shaft mineralization. This conclusion was based on incomplete diamond drill core sampling. It is important to note that Apex’s 1999 infill core sampling program obtained results up to 50.8 g/t gold over a 1.0 metre interval in hole TK-87-46, within a 60-metre segment of drill core that had never been sampled.

==> picture [32 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

1989 Golden Lake Resources Ltd.

A preliminary work program was undertaken to locate and tie in claim posts and several old grids over which much of the previous work had been completed. The results of this work were used to compile technical data with the objective of formulating a detailed exploration plan for the property. Noramco Mining Corporation optioned the property from Golden Lake in June 1990 and assumed the option agreement obligations to the prospector vendors.

==> picture [32 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

1990-91 Noramco Mining Corporation

The exploration program from July to September 1990 consisted of geological mapping, soil sampling and geophysical surveys. Work was restricted to the Kena Copper Zone in the southern portion of the property and to an area encompassing Gold Creek north of the old Lacana grid. In October of 1990, four NQ diamond drillholes totalling 1,055 metres were completed on the property. Two of the holes were in the Gold Creek area (at the very south edge of what is now known as the Gold Mountain Zone) and the other two were within the Kena Copper Zone. One of the holes into the south end of the Gold Mountain Zone returned 0.4 g/t gold over its entire 235.5 metre length, including 24 metres of 1.1 g/t gold and 9 metres of 2.3 g/t gold.

In 1991, additional geochemical, geological, and geophysical surveys plus diamond drilling were carried out on the property. Three diamond drillholes aggregating 1,074 metres were completed. Holes NK91-1 and 2 were drilled in the south and north ends of the Kena Copper Zone respectively, and NK91-3 was drilled into the Kena Gold Zone. The most significant results of this final historic exploration program

were returned from NK91-3, which was the deepest hole ever, drilled into the Kena Gold Zone. This hole returned values at depth (from 212 to 352 metres) of >0.5 g/t gold over 140 metres width, including 10 metres of >1.5 g/t gold. Earlier diamond drillholes in the Kena Gold Zone averaged 100 to 150 metres depth.

Shaft Claims

==> picture [25 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

From 1984 to 1992, the “Shaft claims” were worked as a separate property from the “Kena Property”. The “Shaft claims” encompass the portion of Apex’s property located north of Gold Creek and contain the Shaft, Cat and Dighem showings.

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

1984 Lacana Mining Corporation

Lacana completed geochemical surveys, trenching and sampling and an airborne magneticelectromagnetic survey.

1987-88 South Pacific Gold

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

South Pacific Gold carried out a program of line cutting, geological mapping, geochemical soil sampling, magnetic and induced polarization surveys, and six NQ diamond drillholes aggregating 762 metres. Drilling was confined to a copper-gold occurrence referred to as the Shaft showing. Historic drilling results include 5.95 g/t gold over 1.99 metres.

1989 Golden News Resources Inc./Noramco Explorations

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Golden News Resources Inc. optioned the property in 1989. Noramco Explorations, on behalf of Golden News Resources, completed a program including line cutting, magnetic–VLF-EM surveying, induced polarization geophysical surveying, geochemical sampling, and detailed geological mapping. Results of this work, combined with those of previous exploration companies indicated three drill targets were present; the Dighem, Princess and Silver King Porphyry Contact (now called Gold Mountain) Zones.

==> picture [32 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

1990 Noramco Mining Corporation

Noramco optioned the property from Golden News in June 1990 and drilled four holes across the Dighem geochemical and geophysical anomaly. No results of any significance were obtained from this zone. Two additional holes were drilled, one at the Princess showing and one to the west of the Dighem anomaly over a second geochemical and geophysical target. The single hole at the Princess showing returned a best assay result of 11.3 g/t gold and 0.66% copper over 1.5 metres.

After 1991, no further work was done on either the Kena or Shaft claims until 1999 when Apex optioned the now amalgamated Kena Property.

6.2 Daylight Property

After the Kena property option, Apex acquired additional contiguous claims and crown granted mineral claims to the northwest of the original Kena property on what is now referred to as the Daylight property. The Daylight property hosts a few historic small-scale “mines” as referenced in BC Minfile reports. These include: Daylight-Berlin, Starlight, Victoria-Jessie, Irene and Great Eastern.

Daylight-Berlin (BC Minfile 082FSW175):

==> picture [25 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

The claims were explored by shafts, adits and several pits or trenches at the turn of century. Production commenced in 1937, when the old workings were rehabilitated, and continued intermittently until 1949. Ore material consisted of either quartz vein material or highly silicified schists with finely disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite. Traces of tetrahedrite and pyrrhotite are recorded. Historic production is recorded as totalling 327 tonnes with a grade of 27 g/t gold and 15 g/t silver. Also recovered were, 70 kilograms of lead and 68 kilograms of zinc.

Starlight (L684) (BC Minfile 082FSW174):

==> picture [25 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Minor production is recorded for this claim in 1937. The occurrence lies along the Silver King Shear Zone, the core of a fold of the Hall Creek syncline. The shear zone extends over 1000 metres in width. The area contains abundant sericite, chlorite, quartz, carbonate, hematite, and epidote alteration in discrete to pervasive zones. A quartz vein up to 1.53 metres wide, within schists and volcanics contains disseminated and massive pyrite. Locally the zone is characterized by numerous quartz stringers and lenses. The Starlight vein produced 10.8 tonnes which yielded 583 grams of gold, 2936 grams of silver and 200 kilograms of copper. Free gold is contained in the vein material.

Victoria-Jessie (BC Minfile 082FSW173):

==> picture [25 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Production is recorded from this property in 1894-95, in 1907 and again in the 1940s. A drift exposes a wide zone of alternating schist with quartz stringers and lenses in northwest trending shears or east-west cross fractures. Mineralization in the quartz is commonly comprised of pyrite, chalcopyrite, and galena, which also occur in the host rock. The mineralized zones follow zones of shearing and are conformable with the host rock which strikes 115[o] and dips 50[o] south. Historic production is recorded as 3255 tonnes of material yielding 3.79 kilograms of gold, 94.12 kilograms of silver and 83,577 kilograms of copper.

Great Eastern (BC Minfile 082FSW172):

==> picture [25 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Minor production is recorded for this claim which was Crown granted in 1900. The claim contains a quartz vein, about 20 to 25 centimetres wide, which assayed 19.2 g/t gold and 6.86 g/t silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report, 1954). Production is reported as 34 tonnes yielding 1,276 grams of gold and 1,774 grams of silver. This showing has been worked in conjunction with the Irene (082FSW171) and Great Western (082FSW333) showings.

Great Western (BC Minfile 082FSW333):

==> picture [25 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Several small tunnels and pits are present on the property dating back to the early 1900s.

Gold-copper mineralization occurs in zones of intense carbonate-sericite-quartz alteration in both the mafic units and in the associated felsic units. These alteration zones are 5 to 10 metres in width and several hundred metres in length. They contain 2 to 10% sulphides, dominantly pyrite with minor chalcopyrite. The sulphides occur mainly as stringers parallel to the schistosity but are also pervasively distributed. The sulphide-bearing rocks are deformed together with the host rocks, indicating mineralization predates deformation (Exploration in British Columbia, 1988). These mineralized zones are now elongate in the direction of lineation trending 147 degrees and plunging 31 degrees southeast. Some

West Mining Kena Project

mineralization, however, is also concentrated in late, post-tectonic, crosscutting quartz veins. The best intersection in drill core is 7 metres which assayed 9.7 g/t gold (Exploration in British Columbia, 1988).

Irene (BC Minfile 082FSW171):

==> picture [25 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Minor production of 15 tonnes of ore material from surface trenching and stripping was shipped in 1939 and produced 274 grams of gold and 377 grams of silver.

Organized exploration on the Daylight began in 1979 when Asarco Exploration Company of Canada Ltd. registered the Aberdeen claims. Asarco conducted a few programs including geophysics, soil sampling and diamond drilling in nine holes in the period 1972-1982. Lectus developments Ltd. began surveying, sampling, and trenching on the claims in 1986 and drilled 21 holes in 1987. Pacific Sentinel Gold Corp. did extensive work over a large area in 1989-1990, which they called the Great Western Star Project that included considerable trenching, sampling, geophysics, geochemistry and 5,880 meters of diamond drilling, adjacent to the current Daylight Property.

Results from these programs showed strong gold geochemical anomalies 1500-2000 metres long and 200300 metres wide associated with the Silver King intrusive and its western contact.

6.3 Southern Extension

Apex also acquired, by staking, claims located to the south of the optioned Kena property. These claims contain three historic BC Minfile occurrences, including two historic past producers: the Euphrates and Gold Cup Mines.

Euphrates (BC Minfile 082FSW186):

==> picture [25 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

The deposit is at the southern end of the Silver King shear zone, a wide regional zone of intense deformation. The occurrence consists of the El Tee, Minto, and Nickel Plate adits. The El Tee vein roughly parallels the regional foliation trend at surface but dips 70[o] northeast. The vein is narrow, with a maximum width of approximately 0.15 metre, and has sharp, unsheared contacts with the host rocks. Near surface, it is oxidized to shallow depths and carries significant free gold. The Lost Cabin and Minto veins, northeast of the El Tee, are controlled by poorly defined shears. These shears are approximately 8 and 4 metres wide, respectively, and roughly parallel the regional schistosity. They contain narrow stringers and lenses of quartz within sheared, chloritized volcanics with minor sulphides in the wall rocks. The Nickel Plate "vein" is a shear-controlled felsic dyke approximately 4 metres thick, which carries less than 1 g/t gold on average and generally parallels the orientation of the Minto and Lost Cabin veins. The vein systems in general host a gangue of quartz plus or minus carbonate and chlorite with galena, sphalerite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, native gold, and native silver in decreasing order of abundance.

The Euphrates showings were discovered in 1926 and development work was carried out in several adits. Small amounts of ore were put through the 10-stamp mill on the nearby Golden Age property in 1927 and 1929; the mill was destroyed by fire later in 1929. An aerial tram to the El Tee adit at 1203 metres elevation was installed in 1930 and a small amount of ore was shipped in 1931.

Work resumed in 1933 when an option on a controlling interest in Euphrates Mining was acquired by the Spokane-Idaho Copper Company of Spokane, Washington. The company extended the lower El Tee adit

West Mining Kena Project

and carried out some diamond drilling. The Euphrates Mining Company resumed work on the property and approximately 381 metres of drifting and 228.6 metres of cross cutting was carried out in 1936. The workings at that time on the El Tee vein included an upper adit 53 metres long and a lower adit approximately 610 metres long. From the lower adit, crosscuts were driven 73 metres to the northeast toward the Minto vein and for 91 metres in search of the Lost Cabin vein. A crosscut was also driven 229 metres to the Nickel Plate vein, which was drifted on for 427 metres. The Minto workings included two adits: an upper adit driven 37 metres and a lower adit approximately 175 metres in length. On the Nickel Plate vein, which was a new discovery, trenching was done in 1935 and 1936. General Lee Mining & Milling Co. Inc. of Seattle carried out 610 metres of underground diamond drilling on the property in 1938. In 1940, the Gold-Silver-Tungsten Mining & Milling Co. of Seattle held the property. A 100-ton per day mill was installed, and the tramline was rebuilt. The mill operated for a short period in 1941, milling a small amount of ore from the Nickel Plate and Minto veins.

Between 1928 and 1941, approximately 272 tonnes were mined, mainly from the El Tee vein, which contained approximately 48 g/t gold, 251.6 g/t silver, 2.77% lead and 1.7% zinc.

From 1970 to 1973, geological geochemical, magnetic, electromagnetic, and self-potential surveys were carried out. In 1990, a small program of soil geochemical surveying and hand trenching was completed.

Gold Cup (BC Minfile 082FSW079):

==> picture [25 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

The area has been explored since the early 1900s, with underground workings developed in 1903 and production of 24 tonnes producing 1244 grams of gold reported in 1925. Underground development included an adit with two drifts, a winze, and a 28.5 metre shaft. A second 98-metre-long adit is reported approximately 520 metres to the northeast of the main workings.

Locally, quartz veins, usually 45 to 75 centimetres wide, crosscut the volcanics and, at lower levels, the granitic intrusive. The veins generally strike 090[o] with dips variable from steeply north to steeply south. The quartz gangue contains pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, covellite, tetrahedrite and rare native gold. Weathered zones also contain malachite, limonite, sericite and mariposite. Several lamprophyre dikes occur in east and northeast–striking tension fractures in the vicinity of the veins.

In 1914, a grab sample indicated values in the order of 20 g/t gold and 145 g/t silver (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 94). No analysis for copper is reported.

In 1983, sampling of mineralized quartz material from the dump yielded 10.7 g/t gold and 23.3 g/t silver (Property File - Kokanee Resources Ltd. [1983-07-15]: Report on the Gold Cup Group - Ymir).

In 1989, chip sampling of the south vein in the main zone yielded up to 7.7 g/t gold, 11.3 g/t silver and 0.076% copper over 50 centimetres, whereas a sample of the north vein yielded 1.4 g/t gold, 26.0 g/t silver and 0.219% copper over 25 centimetres (Property File - A.S. Greene [1989-05-25]: Summary Report and Proposed Exploration Program - Gold Cup Group). Also at this time, sampling of quartz lenses exposed in trenches located 50 metres to the south and 150 metres to the northeast yielded 1.1 and 0.9 g/t gold, respectively (Property File - A.S. Greene [1989-05-25]: Summary Report and Proposed Exploration Program - Gold Cup Group).

Geological Setting and Mineralization

7.1 Regional Geology

The Kena Project is situated within the Elise Formation of the Rossland Group. The Rossland Group, within the southern Omineca Crystalline Belt, is an uplifted zone of variably metamorphosed and deformed Proterozoic to Tertiary rocks that straddles the boundary between accreted terranes and ancestral North America. The belt includes a series of structural culminations, typically cored by Paleoproterozoic crystalline rocks, and flanked in the intervening depressions by rocks like those in the Foreland Belt to the east. Accreted rocks of the Slide Mountain and Quesnellia terranes structurally overlie these rocks.

The Omineca Crystalline Belt comprises an imbricated succession of thrust sheets that were transported eastward in Mesozoic time. This tectonism was accompanied by intrusion of granitic bodies and localization of a variety of structurally controlled vein deposits. In early Tertiary time, regional extension resulted in local uplift of core complexes as cover rocks were displaced along low angle normal faults. This extension was associated with widespread mafic volcanism, intrusion of alkalic rocks and, locally, vein and shear hosted mineralization.

The Rossland Group is the most eastern belt of volcanic rocks within Quesnellia, a terrane that comprises dominantly arc volcanics and associated sediments that were accreted to North America in Middle Jurassic time. These rocks tectonically overlie pericratonic rocks of the Kootenay Terrane or miogeoclinal Proterozoic to lower Paleozoic rocks that were deposited on the western ancestral margin of North America. The tectonic boundary between Quesnellia and pericratonic rocks is locally marked by mafic volcanic rocks and associated ultramafics of the Slide Mountain Terrane, which is interpreted to record deposition in a marginal basin or back-arc setting that separated Quesnellia from North America. In the Rossland-Nelson area, overlap assemblages - rocks deposited after collision of accreted rocks with North America – include the Cretaceous Sophie Mountain Formation and Eocene Marron Formation.

7.2 Local and Property Geology

Detailed geology of in the Kena area is documented in BCGS Bulletin 102, titled “Early Jurassic Rossland Group, Southern British Columbia – Part I Stratigraphy and Tectonics” by T. Hoy and K. Dunne (1997). The following descriptions of the Hwy 6 portion of the Elise Formation volcanics, and the Silver King intrusive bodies are extracted directly from the publication. Highway 6 passes through the property and the lithologies described host the Kena mineralization.

7.3 Elise Formation

A complete section of the Elise Formation (Elise) is exposed in the east limb of the Hall Creek syncline. It has been subdivided into a lower and upper division. The lower Elise lies with apparent conformity on sedimentary rocks of the Ymir Group; a few argillite beds persist through the lower part of the lower Elise. It is a sequence of dominantly mafic flows and flow breccias, minor lahars and tuffs up to one kilometre thick.

NI 43-101 Resource Estimate Page 39 of 165

==> picture [161 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

West Mining Kena Project

A coarse-grained augite porphyry flow breccia is the dominant lithology of the lower Elise. Clasts and matrix are essentially augite porphyry with euhedral to subhedral augite or augite pseudomorphs up to one centimetre in diameter in a finer grained matrix of secondary plagioclase, biotite, chlorite, epidote, and carbonate. Massive augite porphyry flows, with little evidence of brecciation, are not common.

The upper Elise is a sequence of mafic to intermediate flows, tuffs and minor epiclastic deposits up to 2,500 metres thick. A number of cyclical sequences of pyroclastic rocks that typically grade upward from lapilli tuff to crystal tuff or fine tuff are common. Augite porphyry flows and flow breccias are a minor constituent.

The dominant lithology of the upper Elise is a plagioclase-augite lapilli tuff of andesitic to shoshonitic composition. Clasts are generally darker than their matrix due to the preferential alteration of the fine-grained matrix to calcite, epidote, and secondary plagioclase.

Crystal tuffs are commonly a lateral or vertical facies of the lapilli tuffs and are similar in composition. They are characterized by up to 20% plagioclase and typically only a few percent augite. The crystal tuffs are generally massive; only rarely is layering noted. However, a penetrative foliation, conspicuous in most outcrops, may mask many primary features.

Fine mafic tuff occurs as dark green, fine-grained layers commonly associated with augite porphyry units. Several percent broken, commonly sausseritized plagioclase phenocrysts, less than one millimetre in diameter, and rare quartz crystals are the only primary textures preserved in the tuff. A penetrative foliation is defined by aligned biotite.

7.4 Silver King Intrusions

A number of generally highly deformed feldspar porphyries, referred to as the Silver King intrusions occur within the Elise Formation on the Kena Property. They have been dated as Aalenian to Toarcian and are interpreted to be collisional granitoids. Many are associated with copper, gold, and silver mineralization.

The main Silver King intrusive body can be traced southeast from Giveout Creek. Several smaller lenses border this intrusion and others occur on the western slopes of Mount Elise. Outcrops of Silver King intrusions are typically cream-coloured and form resistant ridges. Contacts with Rossland Group rocks are either sharp and discordant or intensely sheared. The Silver King pluton is sheared along its margins. Commonly, smaller lenses form sericite phyllites that resemble foliated felsic volcanic rocks. These contact relationships and the foliated to massive nature suggest that the Silver King intrusions are a pre to synkinematic suite.

The Silver King plutonic rocks are porphyritic, characterized by 30 to 60% euhedral to subhedral plagioclase phenocrysts, 5-10 millimetres in size in a fine-grained greenish grey groundmass. Quartz content ranges from 1 to 2%; grains are commonly resorbed which may indicate a high-level of intrusion. Generally, primary mafic minerals are not preserved although acicular secondary hornblende needles are locally observed. Accessory sphene and ilmenite are common; apatite is rare.

==> picture [161 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

West Mining Kena Project

The Silver King intrusion has been strongly altered and sheared. Plagioclase twinning is commonly obscured by intense saussuritization and the inner zones of the phenocrysts are replaced by clusters of sericite needles. Mafic minerals are almost totally replaced by chlorite and calcite. The groundmass comprises abundant secondary albite, epidote, carbonate and often 10 to 50% interlocking aggregates of quartz grains and sericite mats.

Based on major element chemistry, Silver King intrusive samples are dominantly quartz monzodiorites and granodiorites. Most Silver King samples plot in the calc-alkaline field on a total alkali-silica plot, in contrast with high potassium or alkaline character of many synvolcanic Early Jurassic plutons.

7.5 STRUCTURE, ALTERATION AND MINERALIZATION

The structure, alteration, and mineralization of the Gold Mountain, Kena, South Gold, Kena Copper, Daylight and Shaft and Cat Zones are discussed separately below.

7.6 Gold Mountain Zone (“GMZ”)

Several outcroppings of Silver King intrusive occur on the property. This unit is especially prominent along the west side of the claim area where it forms a topographically significant ridge. In the Gold Mountain Zone, the eastern margin of this large body is in contact with Elise volcanics on a plateau area at an elevation of about 1400 metres; outcrop is rare.

In the GMZ, the Silver King unit is a coarse to medium-grained plagioclase-hornblende porphyry. It is locally siliceous, and in places weakly to strongly flooded with secondary potassium feldspar. Plagioclase is weak to moderately sericitized, and hornblende is weak to locally highly chloritized. Epidote alteration is evident in many areas. The porphyry is locally mineralized with 1% to 5% disseminated pyrite, traces of molybdenite, chalcopyrite, malachite, and stringers and disseminations of magnetite and specular hematite.

Gold mineralization occurs predominantly as finely disseminated free gold grains within both the intrusive and volcanic rocks in the vicinity of their eastern contact. The gold grains often occur adjacent to pyrite grains or within narrow quartz veinlets, both of which show deformational characteristics, indicating that gold emplacement is either pre or syn-kinematic. Thin sections examined during petrographic studies show that very minor amounts of gold also occur as tiny inclusions in pyrite grains, indicating an older gold phase (Wells, R.C., 2001). As well, minor amounts of gold can be seen along narrow fractures, indicating a younger gold phase or late remobilization of the earlier gold.

After discovery of the unique style of gold mineralization by Apex in the Gold Mountain Zone in 2000, detailed studies on structure and alteration related to the gold mineralization were undertaken and are summarized below.

A portion of the structural geology study on the Gold Mountain Zone, by consultant David Rhys, P.Geo. (2001), for Apex is summarized here:

Lithologies in the vicinity of the Gold Mountain zone are affected by 120-160[o ] striking azimuth, moderate to steep southwest dipping phyllitic penetrative foliation (S1) that is defined by the platy alignment of

West Mining Kena Project

phyllosilicate minerals, and the flattening of clasts and phenocrysts. Foliation intensity is greatest in the volcanic sequence. The Silver King porphyry is frequently unstrained or affected by spaced S1 cleavage surfaces with sericite or chlorite coatings. Local highly cleaved domains of spaced S1 foliation that are developed over intervals of several metres in some Gold Mountain Zone trenches define distributed zones of higher strain that may represent weak shear zones.

A second, spaced cleavage, possibly corresponding with S2 locally occurs in some areas; it usually has a more northerly strike than the earlier S1 surfaces. A composite elongation and crenulation lineation (L1) plunges shallowly to the southeast within the plane of S1; the lineation is frequently visible on spaced foliation surfaces in the Silver King porphyry and may aid in re-orientation of drill core.

Several shear zones comprising discrete areas of penetrative foliation development and grain size reduction are present in the Silver King porphyry. The shear zones trend north with moderate to steep west dips, oblique to the northwest trend of S1 foliation, but subparallel to S2 spaced cleavage surfaces. The largest of these identified during this study is exposed in outcrop along line 1400N between 320-330E, where the shear zone is at least 10 metres thick, before outcrop exposures terminate in overburden. Shear zone exposures occur along a linear, coincident apparent chargeability and resistivity low that may reflect the alteration of feldspars to phyllosilicate minerals in the structure, and the lack of, or low pyrite content in this structure when compared to adjacent porphyry exposures. Narrower shear zones of this type are also present near and/or along the Silver King porphyry contact.

Apart from minor structures defined by closely spaced sets of joints and fractures, and possible faults in rare areas of ground core, no brittle faults were observed in trenches or drill core.

To assess the potential morphology of mineralized zones, planar features including fractures, joints, cleavage, pyrite +/- quartz veinlets, and Fe-oxide veinlets and joint coatings probably after pyrite were measured in trench exposures. Fractures and veinlets display similar orientations, and have predominantly steep to moderate southerly dips, with strikes ranging from 330-150[o] , although some veinlets have shallow northeast and southwest dips. A cluster of steep northeast to north dipping orientations is also apparent, but not as abundant as the southerly dipping sets. Shallow dipping features and those with north to northnortheast trends are rare. When veinlets of all thicknesses are plotted independently, the same patterns are apparent, with the majority of veins having moderate to steep southwest to south dips; the same orientations are also apparent in mineralized portions of the Elise volcanic rocks adjacent to the porphyry. When only veinlets measured in intervals grading >2 g/t Au are plotted separately, orientations are similar, indicating consistent veinlet and fracture orientations in areas of all Au grades, alteration styles and lithologies.

In 2003, Dr. Trygve Hoy mapped and studied much of the Kena Property, and concluded:

On a regional scale, gold appears to be mainly concentrated in the northern part of the Silver King intrusion, in fairly close proximity to the Elise Formation contact. Original gold mineralization can probably be related to a gold porphyry system, with associated potassic (K-feldspar) and variable magnetite content. The preferential distribution of magnetite, and possibly gold, in the north may reflect originally higher levels in the Silver King intrusion. The distribution of locally higher-grade gold zones along the

West Mining Kena Project

eastern margin of the Silver King intrusive and in the Elise Formation appears to be, at least in part, also structurally controlled.

The pronounced northerly orientation of units, including the Silver King, dykes, alteration assemblages and many of the magnetic linears is due mainly to flattening and attenuation during Phase 1 deformation. This flattening would also have attenuated zones within the upper levels of a porphyry system that contained variable but locally higher gold zones. It appears to be more pronounced in less competent (phyllitic) units, but virtually all phases of the Silver King, and even competent, virtually massive K-feldspar and gold enriched zones have a weak penetrative fabric, and early fractures appear to have rotated into a more northerly trend. Hence, it is believed that the main role of Phase 1 deformation is reorientation of early porphyry style gold mineralization and related alteration.

Phase 2 shearing appears to have locally upgraded gold content in the northern part of the Silver King intrusion. On a regional scale, Phase 2 shears are magnetite destructive and coincide, at least in part, with the prominent regional magnetic low. This low is associated, in general, with zones of elevated gold content and locally with higher pyrite content. In the northern part of the Gold Mountain Zone, the more western of these zones is fractured and veined and contains higher gold content. In trenches here it appears as a northwest-trending zone of brittle shearing, with veins that may contain elevated gold, trend at a slight angle westward from the regional foliation and a late mafic dyke. Farther south, north-trending brittle fracturing and shearing, with magnetite removed or replaced by pyrite?, contains higher gold content. In intensely sheared (ductile) zones, and in areas of mylonite, gold content is typically lower.

Late northeast-trending faults appear to coincide with areas that also have elevated gold content. However, these structures appear to be mainly post-Tertiary in age and cannot be directly related to these increased gold values. It is possible, however, that more north-trending late structures, as occur in the South Gold Zone, may remobilize and upgrade gold content.

Alteration assemblages found throughout the Silver King intrusive appear to have important relationships to the gold mineralization. Conclusions from an alteration mapping study, conducted by Kathryn Dunne, P.Geo., 2001, are as follows:

Host rock composition (diorite), Au grades (average >1 g/t?), sulphide mineralogy (hydrothermal magnetite, pyrite), alteration distribution (K-silicate: magnetite-K-spar-biotite and sericitic: sericitequartz-pyrite +/- gypsum), quartz veinlet stockworks and low silver content (<3 ppm) are consistent with a porphyry gold depositional setting [see for example: Marte, Lobo, and Refugio (Sillitoe, 1995)]. The distribution of magnetite, magnetite + pyrite and pyrite dominated zones may reflect depth of alteration with magnetite dominant possibly at deeper levels. The sericitic alteration may be an overprint on the K- silicate alteration. The sericitic alteration (pyrite dominant) contains quartz +/- tourmaline veinlet stockworks that host the bulk of the gold mineralization. Sillitoe (1997) notes that the presence or absence of sericite overprint does not seem to exert any control on gold content in porphyry gold deposits.

7.7 Kena Gold Zone

The Kena Gold zone occurs in disrupted Elise Formation volcanics along the flank of the Silver King stock. It includes several dykes and sills of monzodiorites, andesite porphyry, and Silver King porphyry. Gold mineralization occurs in silicic, pyritic crackle breccia that is related to sub-concordant dioritic intrusions.

Broad bands of potassic alteration and silicification occur at the margins of the intrusions, and the best gold mineralization occurs where silicification intersects strong fracture systems, the strongest of which trend due east and dip steeply south. These are associated with gold concentrations of less than 3 g/t. Base metals are not common. Chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena are disseminated in quartz veins, or occur as massive sulphide veinlets adjacent to dioritic rocks.

Not all the silicified zones contain gold. Some quartz occurs as vuggy epithermal-style veins.

7.8 South Gold Zone

A 5-kilometre-long magnetic feature, which is believed to be an important regional control on gold mineralization, trends from the Gold Mountain Zone, through the Kena Gold Zone and into the South Gold Zone. Prior drilling in the South Gold Zone, within Elise Formation volcanics yielded gold results like those in the other gold zones, with occasional high-grade pyritic shoots occurring within lower-grade zones of silica-potassium alteration.

7.9 Kena Copper Zone

The Kena Copper zone demonstrates alkalic copper-gold porphyry-style mineralization that is associated with a probable monzodiorite complex. Chalcopyrite and pyrite occur as disseminations, as fracture fillings, and as quartz veinlets in the intrusive rocks. Disseminated and fracture-filled pyrite occurs in the tuffaceous units of the Elise Fm. Malachite is common.

The area is marked by sericitic and limonitic shear zones that are parallel to foliation, and by propylitically altered zones with moderate to intense fracturing. Local occurrences of magnetic and secondary biotite are indicative of a broader zone of potassic alteration centred on the monzodiorite complex. Quartz veins and stockworks, some of which contain pyrite and chalcopyrite, cross and follow foliation, and may suggest multiple periods of emplacement.

7.10 Shaft and Cat Zones

Widespread mineralization in the Shaft and Cat zones consists of chalcopyrite, pyrite, and magnetite as disseminations and fracture fill in brecciated, altered andesite and sub-volcanic dioritic sills, which occur as possible breccia pipes along a northwest-trending shear zone adjacent to the Silver King-Elise Formation contact.

These zones may record gold-copper mineralization that is unrelated to the Silver King porphyry system. Gold appears early, is associated with chalcopyrite and magnetite, and is concentrated in a fractured, diorite intrusive phase of the Elise Formation (Hoy, 2003).

7.11 Daylight Zone

The Daylight property lies on the western flank of the main Silver King intrusion and within intensely altered and sheared Elise Formation volcanic rocks. The geology in this area has been subjected to a series of tectonic events resulting in regional folding and shearing, with the most prominent fold in this area being the Hall Creek Syncline. The penetrative foliation of the Elise formation parallels the axial plane of the syncline with the dominant foliation being steeply dipping with an average trend of 120-140°.

Northwest of the closure of the Hall Formation, at deeper structural levels the core of the syncline forms a zone of intense shearing more than a kilometre in width. This shear zone is referred to as the Silver King Shear and runs through the Elise Formation as well as the intrusive rocks of the Silver King porphyry stocks. The Silver King Shear is host to several deposits including the Silver King Mine adjacent to the Daylight property.

Gold mineralization on the Daylight property occurs as two distinctive styles (Brown, 2018; AR37536):

1) The historical Great Western and Great Eastern mines on the property are underlain by the Silver King Porphyry near its southwestern contact margin with the Elise volcanics. Mineralization is in the form of sheeted quartz vein systems with accessory pyrite-chalcopyrite and rarely galena or sphalerite. Individual veins are typically 0.2 to 2 centimetres, but brittle arrays of these veins may infiltrate the Silver King intrusion over widths of several metres to 10s of metres. Alteration proximal to the mineralized zones usually comprises silica-sericite+/-chlorite and limonite and or hematite staining both as fracture-fill and pervasive alteration. More distal, chlorite-epidotecarbonate+-sericite alteration pervasively affects the host Silver King. Mineralization is structurally controlled with contributions seeming from both the Silver King Shear system (135/65), and by westerly striking fractures with steep north dips. Locally, gold grades can be high grade (e.g. DDH DL17005: 63.7 g/t Au over 0.9 metres), but more typically grades are between 1 and 10 g/t over large widths of sheeted veining (e.g. DDH DL17007: 1.09 g/t Au over 71 metres).
2) The historic Starlight, Victoria and Daylight mines are aligned along a single, mostly continuous quartz vein traceable through the Daylight property area for at least 1300 metres. The vein is hosted almost entirely within the Elise volcanics, although in places it appears to share its structure with dykes of Silver King intrusive. The vein is conformable to both the fabric of the Silver King Shear zone, and to the Silver King/Elise contact located about 400 metres to the northeast. The vein pinches and swells dramatically with widths locally approaching 1.5 metres at the Starlight and Victoria mine areas but is more typically 0.5 metres wide or less. Good portions of the exposed vein pinch down to almost no quartz vein material with only strong shearing with micro veins as evidence of the controlling structure. Gold mineralization has a strong affinity for the vein and its immediate contact margins, with only rare samples returning anomalous gold in the host volcanics.
3) Mineralization typically includes pyrite or rarely pyrrhotite, with minor chalcopyrite, and occasional coarse grains of galena or sphalerite. Alteration of the immediate host rocks typically includes chlorite-silica-sericite+/-limonite-goethite and rare epidote. Mineralization is primarily conformable along a predominant strike of 130-140[o] , with dips at the Starlight-Victoria 55-70[o] to the northeast. Dips appear to shallow slightly to around 45[o] degrees near the Daylight mine. A second mineralized fracture set is apparent on approximately 306/77. It is suggested here that the discontinuous nature of the Daylight-Starlight vein system may be due to strong linear ore-

shoot control. A calculated intersection lineation of the subsidiary veins with the conformable vein set suggests a hypothetical ore-shoot plunge of 31[o] to azimuth 314[o] . The Daylight/Starlight vein system can produce bonanza grade intercepts, but along geometrically or volumetrically limited dimensions.

In 2009, Dr. Jim Oliver, P.Geo., a well-respected geoscientist, produced the following recommendations and conclusions after evaluating the Gold Mountain, Kena Gold, South Gold, Great Western, Shaft, and Cat zones by field mapping and the examination of drill core.

Of the several high-strain zones that are commonly mineralized, the eastern contact between the Silver King porphyry and Elise Formation volcanics, representing the Gold Mountain-Kena Gold trend, is the most persistent, and could be defined as the Kena Deformation Zone (KDZ). Widespaced drilling over its entire length could help to define the bulk of Kena gold mineralization.
Of the drilling intersections of greater than 7.0 g/t Au, evaluate which ones are open in any direction, and devise a systematic exploration plan that involves down-dip and along strike stepout drilling.
Embayments or irregularities in the contact between the Silver King and the Elise Formation, identified by offsets in geophysical data, should rank as higher priority exploration areas than where the contact is linear. If the KDZ has dextral movement (Hoy, 2003), then right-handed offsets will produce dilatant points with potentially enhanced gold mineralization. If the KDZ has sinistral movement (Rhys, 2001), then left-handed offsets are prospective. Limited data suggest that at the time of mineralization, the KDZ is also a reverse high strain zone; therefore, the structural zone will dilate when it flattens and becomes prospective for gold mineralization. The reverse nature is the principal reason why steeply dipping deformation zones distal to intrusivevolcanic contacts are typically less strongly gold mineralized than the shallower dipping KDZ.
Based on the technical data, the high strain zones that exist west of the KDZ, such as Great Western and North, have weaker alteration signatures, weaker strain profiles, and decreased continuity. Therefore, these are weak and low priority targets.
Based on the similarity between the Gold Mountain and Kena Gold zones, there is potential for the same type of mineralization between the Kena Gold and South Gold zones, which have similar lithological and geological styles. This poorly drilled gap should be investigated further.
Potassium oxide (K₂O) may indica te enhanced potassic alteration within the Silver King intrusion, enhanced development of secondary biotite within the Elise volcanics, the presence of volcanic inliers in the Silver King (e.g., GMZ), or the presence of secondary biotite or K-feldspar in association with altered dioritic intrusions (e.g., Kena Copper). Soil geochemistry ICP results can be used to correlate K₂O to gold or copper mineralization.
The geophysical and geological data do not often correlate well. An evaluation of the geophysical, surface, and drilling data should help to form better associations. For example, resistivity is a good tool for mapping alterations in both the Silver King and Elise units.
Gold Mountain mineralization may not represent a porphyry-style Au-Cu system. Some of the historic work at Kena has suggested that high-grade mineralized zones reflect a late-stage structurally controlled gold event that has been superimposed on a broader lower-grade potentially porphyry-style mineralizing process; however, the data would argue against this. Gold mineralization in the GMZ is closely tied to dilatant zones within high strain zones that are associated with the contacts between the Silver King and Elise Formation. Shear and extension

vein systems whose geometries can well be explained by two-dimensional strain interpretations occur at Kena. However, the bulk of the gold mineralization, in these areas, is most likely associated with broader-scale lithological controls, changes in bulk rock competency, and differences in anisotropy. Broad zones of lower-grade gold mineralization will be contained within thick panels of rock developing at or near changes in the bulk rock modulus. Under these conditions, more complex fracture patterns and locally inconsistent plunge and dilatant orientations become the hallmark of mineralized zones and are associated with 3-D strain patterns. The 100- to 150-metre-wide envelope of enhanced potassic alteration, enhanced flattening strains, and magnetite destruction at the eastern intrusive-volcanic contact is the best manifestation of the scale and intensity of the auriferous system operating under these conditions. Under these parameters look for the formation of moderate to steep dipping highergrade mineralized zones or shear-hosted veins, which are flanked by shallow-dipping extensional veins and veinlets. Both sets are formed synchronously and neither have a requirement for a porphyry association. Those kinds of grade panels and orientations are easily recognized in grade thickness blocks of this occurrence.

The gold and copper grade width relations within the Kena Copper area suggest than in this environment a porphyry copper-gold model may be correct. Copper-gold mineralization is preferentially associated with dioritic sills and intrusions within the Elise Formation volcanics. Deformation zones in this mineralizing environment may have a weaker roll and significant goldcopper mineralized zones may develop independently of the position of the Silver King -Elise contact. In addition, there is a positive qualitative correlation between copper and gold of approximately 1000 ppm Cu to 100 ppb Au, and well-developed gold-copper zonation patterns are emerging. If a porphyry copper-gold system exists, the current technical data strongly suggests that it will lie to the southeast and represents one of the highest priority target areas on the Kena property.

Deposit Types

The main deposit types that have been explored for on the Kena Project are spatially associated with the Silver King intrusions and described below by Giroux in 2013.

These include a gold porphyry system within the Silver King intrusion (Gold Mountain Zone), conformable gold within the Elise volcanic rocks marginal to the intrusion (Kena Gold Zone), and alkalic copper-gold porphyry (Kena Copper Zone).

The deposit types can be large and require extensive drilling to define the mineralization. Structurally controlled higher-grade shoots and zones may also occur within or as offshoots from the larger mineralized zones.

Additionally, the Euphrates and Gold Cup showings peripheral to the Silver King might represent an orogenic gold model. The Dighem zone in the northwest area of the claim block suggests the potential for a volcanogenic massive sulphides deposit.

TerraLogics describes the Great Eastern/ Great Western zone appearing be like the Silver King shear hosted deposits, and the Daylight deposit as vein hosted outcropping at surface (2018).

Exploration

Between 2000 and 2010, Apex completed several exploration programs as summarized below.

In December 2020, West Mining Corp. purchased the Kena and Daylight Property option from Boundary but have completed no exploration work on the property to date.

Exploration work on the project is conducted using metric units. The coordinate system used at Kena is Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), Zone 11.

9.1 Kena Property Exploration

Exploration on the Kena Property since 2002 includes several phases of soil sampling, numerous rock sampling campaigns, trenching in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2008 and geophysical surveys and are summarized here.

Kena Soil Geochemistry

==> picture [25 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

The Kena property has seen several phases of soil sampling, most notably by Noramco, Apex, and Altair. The Gold Mountain, Kena Gold, Kena Copper, South Gold, Three Friends, and Euphrates zones have had extensive to minor coverage. The soil geochemistry for gold is presented in Figure 9-1, and the soil geochemistry for silver is presented in Figure 9-2

Soil sample grids were orientated perpendicular to the expected trend of mineralization, with lines spaced 100m apart and samples collected at 25m spacings. Line spacing was decreased to 50m in areas that showed prospective results. In 2001, a large soil grid was put in for 9.6km south from the existing South Grid to cover the extent of the Silver King intrusive. Grid lines were run at 200m spacings with 50m soil stations. Six small areas with elevated gold soil values were found, three of which correlate to historic workings.

West Mining Kena Project

The grids were established using a compass and hip chain, and sites were identified using grid coordinates, which were then converted to actual based on coordinates derived using a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) device. Sampling methodology is discussed in Chapter 11, Sample Preparation, Analyses, and Security.

In the GMZ, the gold-in-soil values over the Silver King intrusive, and its contact with the Elise volcanics, are significantly elevated when compared to those in the adjacent rocks. The gold soil anomaly trends at 130[o] for almost 3km and ranges from 0.6 to 1.4km in width. Copper values are low; however, those at the eastern edge of the Silver King are elevated. A linear feature within the intrusive also returned higher copper values.

The Kena Gold zone appears as a 1.2km long and 300m wide gold soil anomaly. Spotty high-grade gold soil values of up to 1.27g/t occur along the western edge of the Kena Gold zone where there are outcrops of the Silver King intrusive.

The South Gold zone shows as strong, cohesive gold anomaly that occurs over Elise volcanics west of the Silver King intrusive. One soil sample returned a result of 2.57g/t gold. There is a moderate copper soil anomaly associated with the zone.

A strong copper soil anomaly, with several copper results greater than 1,000 parts per million (ppm), defines the Kena Copper zone, which occurs southeast of the South Gold zone. It averages 400m wide and extends for 2.3km in a northwest-southeast direction.

Soil sample results indicate that there are additional copper and gold anomalies in the Three Friends and Euphrates zones.

Kena Rock Geochemistry

==> picture [25 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

From 2000 to 2010, Apex completed numerous rock sampling (combined with prospecting and geological mapping) campaigns over most of the Kena and Daylight properties. Elevated gold, silver and copper values were obtained from grab and/or chip samples relating to the numerous historic and new showings on the large claim holdings.

Kena Trenching

==> picture [25 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Trenching programs occurred during 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2008. Forty-four trenches were excavated in the Gold Mountain, South Gold, and Kena Copper zones distributed as shown in Table 9-1.

Table 9-1

Kena Summary of Trenching

Year	Zone	Count
2001 and 2001	Gold Mountain	21
2003	Gold Mountain and South Gold	15
2008	Kena Copper	8
Total		44

In 2000, trenching defined the ‘discovery’ area of the Gold Mountain porphyry-style mineralization. Trenching in 2001 followed up favorable results from 2000. Visible mineralization consisted of pyrite as fresh looking, irregularly shaped disseminated blebs, and as fracture fill (often altered to limonite and/or goethite). Coarser blebs of pyrite occur in less-altered parts of the Silver King intrusive. Minor quantities of chalcopyrite are also present. The sulphide content varies from 1% to 5%; however, the gold content does not always directly correspond. Based on the results of this trenching, it was discovered that mineralization in the Silver King is extensive and homogeneous over broad widths.

In 2003, trenches were excavated along a magnetic-low corridor that was identified by airborne geophysics. The intent was to follow and cross the structures in the magnetic feature, and to provide exposure for structural geology studies. Trench, 03TR-7, which intersected quartz veinlets with coarse visible gold, returned an assay results of 66.83 g/t Au from a 2m sample.

In 2008, trenching in the Kena Copper zone consisted of digging eight wide-spaced trenches, which tested 1.9 kilometres of a 2.5-kilometre-long copper soil anomaly. Three trenches returned assay results indicating elevated copper values; however, trench KCT-01 intersected the best intercept of 0.26% Cu over 56 metres. The other trenches contained low concentrations of copper. Two trenches, KCT-02 and KCT-06 each returned gold values of 0.84 g/t over 2 metres and 0.76 g/t over 2 metres, respectively.

During 2007, Apex sampled an historic exploration drift in the Kena Copper zone, which returned results of 0.51% Cu over 26 metres (including 2 metres of 1.65% Cu and 0.53 g/t Au).

A summary of significant results from trenching is shown in Table 9-2.

Kena Geophysics

==> picture [25 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Geophysical studies including induced polarization, airborne magnetics and radiometric, and ground magnetometer have been conducted at the Kena property and are discussed here.

Kena Induced Polarization Survey

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Induced polarization surveys have been completed over much of the grid areas on the Kena and Daylight Properties. For results and conclusions of these surveys see report by P.E. Walcott, 2001, and BC government assessment reports by L. Dandy 2001-2003.

Kena Airborne Magnetics and Radiometric Survey

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Late in 2003, a Fugro helicopter assisted airborne radiometrics and magnetics survey was flown over the northern portion of the Kena Property. An area of 7 by 3 kilometres was surveyed with 100 metre spaced flight lines.

The government regional high level magnetic map shows a large magnetic low some 18 kilometres in length trending north-westwards through the property. Its eastern extent appears to be spatially related to the Cottonwood Creek and Salmo River stream beds. Two east-west offsets are visible, one in its centre region in the Great Western - Gold Mountain - Shaft area, and the other in the south along a bend in the Salmo River. Fourteen known showings and former small producers (information from BC Government Minfile) lie within this magnetic low feature.

This regional magnetic low and other magnetic features appear to have little to do with the surface geological units as seen by comparison with the regional geology after Hoy & Dunne. This is well illustrated by comparing the geology with the vertical gradient results from the low level heliborne survey where shallow source magnetic features can be seen trending northwesterly through both rock units.

A narrow, shallow, 6km long, positive magnetic feature can be observed trending across the eastern part of the survey area. This feature strikes north northwesterly in its northern part, where it is better defined and northwesterly to the south where its magnitude tails off. This steeply dipping dyke-like magnetic intrusive corresponds to the dioritic dyke described by Hoy & Dunne. Its contact with the volcanics is not recognizable in holes drilled across the same in the vicinity of the Cat and Shaft showing except based on magnetic susceptibility, so the regional metamorphism must have been intense, or it was only magnetite intruded into the volcanic package and not a different rock. The Cat, Shaft, Kena and South Copper-Gold Zones all lie along or are spatially related to this feature, the mineralization of which was presumably brought in by hydrothermal solutions along the same conduit(s) before or after those that brought in the magnetite.

Similar sub parallel and more subtle positive magnetic features are discernible in the underlying Silver King rocks in the northeastern part of the survey area on the plot of the vertical gradient. These are better defined on the plot of the high frequency magnetics, a plot of the short wavelength responses of shallow narrow sources. These could also be attributable to magnetite brought in by hydrothermal solutions, as aforementioned.

Drillholes 01GM-20, 02GM-53, 02GM-62, 03GM-65 and 03GM-71, widely spaced holes drilled into and across one of these northwest trending features, all intersected narrow high grade gold mineralization in the hanging wall in close proximity to intrusive dykes and/or zones of higher magnetic susceptibility. This could suggest that the gold mineralization came in along the same conduits before or after the dykes and/or magnetic intrusions.

The radiometric survey appeared to be adversely affected by the overburden and did not make any additional contribution to the understanding of geology and mineralization.

Kena Ground Magnetometer Surveys

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

In 2003, a ground magnetic survey was completed to extend to the north the strong magnetic low feature identified by the airborne magnetic survey. The survey over the GMZ was conducted using a Geometrics G816 Proton magnetometer, which measures the total intensity of the earth’s magnetic field with sensitivity up to ±1 nanoteslas (nT) using proton precession.

This survey shows the magnetic low feature extending to the Giveout Creek valley, where it is offset to the east by approximately 200 metres, then continues north trending through the centre of the Athabasca workings. It therefore appears that the gold mineralization at Athabasca is controlled by the same magnetic low shear structure that controls most of the gold mineralization on the Kena Property.

In 2012, Altair conducted a ground survey using a GEMS GSM-19 magnetometer in the area between the GMZ and the Kena Gold zones. Altair also commissioned an analysis of past and current geophysical surveys. The purpose of the analysis was to:

Assess the ground and airborne geophysical data to determine if additional processing could improve the interpretation,
Determine if magnetic data could be filtered such that weak or isolated magnetic highs, representing dykes, might be found within the broader magnetic low, and
To determine if the radiometric data could be enhanced, given that it may reflect the effects of moisture.

By using a combination of the ground and airborne magnetic data as shown in Figure 9-3, four isolated magnetic highs were identified, that may represent mafic dykes within the main magnetic low region. The magnetic lows are outlined in black.

The northern magnetic low is labeled A, and the southern main magnetic low region is labeled B, as shown in Figure 9-4. These dykes were modeled to strike through the magnetic low with steep dips, and trend in the same orientation as the magnetic low. Two isolated magnetic highs strike perpendicular to the magnetic low. There is only one possible mafic dyke within the northern magnetic low, Area A, that has a strike parallel to the surrounding magnetic low. There are two potential faults cutting through a shear zone that separates the two magnetic low regions near Gold Mountain.

Figure 9-4

Magnetic Survey Near Gold Mountain (Source: Giroux, 2013)

An apparent magnetic low splay from the main magnetic low occurs just north of the concentrated drilling in the GMZ. It could be an indication of a possible splay in the main shear zone. Processing was done to identify potential isolated magnetic highs within both the north-west main magnetic low and the apparent magnetic low splay, which could be an indication of mafic dykes. Eight isolated magnetic highs were identified within the main magnetic low trending north-west, while only one isolated high was found within the magnetic low splay, shown in Figure 9-5. Based on the interpretation that the isolated magnetic highs identify locations of mafic dykes, it would indicate that drilling north-west along the main magnetic low trend would be more favourable.

In 2012, Altair contracted Eagle Mapping Ltd. (Eagle), of Port Coquitlam, BC, to fly an aerial light detection and ranging (LiDAR) survey over 15.3km² of the Kena Property, delineated in Figure 9-6. Eagle used an airborne GPS/IMU Riegl VQ-480 laser scanner system to produce a digital topographical model with 0.15 metre vertical accuracy and 0.3 metre horizontal accuracy. This data provided the topography surface for the resource model and was used to provide accurate elevations for drillhole collars.

9.2 Daylight Property Exploration

In 2001, Apex expanded the Gold Mountain soil grid farther west to cover the Great Western Zone. An area of 1100 by 500 metre in size, with very high gold soil values, was outlined in the Silver King intrusive and along its western contact with the Elise volcanics. Highest gold values in soil on the Great Western were 1259 ppb (L21N, 11+25W). Thick basal till present in some areas may subdue the geochemical response. At the Starlight, gold soil values reach up to 4168 ppb near the old workings (most likely due to contamination). At the Victoria workings, gold ranges up to 50 ppb, and at the Daylight-Berlin gold is 82 ppb. Generally, gold soil values along the Starlight trend are <200 ppb Au.

In 2002, a series of rock grab samples were taken in the area. 16 rock grab samples from the historic Great Western workings returned between 0.36 and 119.3 g/t Au. At the Starlight showing, high grade gold vein workings follow a prominent shear that is well defined by an Induced Polarization chargeability high for three kilometres. 11 rock grab samples from the Starlight workings returned between 0.50 and 22.5 g/t Au. Two samples taken from the Victoria-Jesse workings returned 10.19 and 11.45 g/t Au; and four Daylight-Berlin samples returned between 0.9 to 10.94 g/t Au.

In 2017, TerraLogic Exploration conducted a three-phase field program on behalf of Prize Mining Corp. The initial spring program consisted of prospecting, road-cut chip sampling, infill soil geochemistry and a

ground magnetic survey. These results were used to direct follow up prospecting, geological mapping and target generation for the fall trenching and diamond drilling.

Daylight Soil Geochemistry

==> picture [25 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

The results of an 18-line soil geochemical survey over the main Great Eastern/Western and Starlight/Daylight trends completed in 2017 are reported by TerraLogic in 2018 and summarized here.

Soil lines over the Great Western/Eastern area were designed to follow cross-cut historical soils and regional magnetic trends to results in an average soil sampling density of 50x25m, including historical samples. Soil samples from 445 locations were collected and maps with results were created for Au, Ag, and Cu. The map for gold is given in Figure 9-7.

The statistical analysis was separated between the two main trends to get a more accurate portrait of lithological and mineralization style differences. Soil elemental levels and correlation to gold content vary significantly between the two trends. Starlight/Daylight soils tend to have much higher Mo and Cu background levels with slightly more elevated Zn, Fe, Cr, and Te compared to the Great Eastern/Western zone. Magnesium is up to two orders of magnitude higher along the Starlight-Daylight trend, a likely expression of the mafic volcanic host rocks. Background Au values in soils from Great Eastern/Western are two orders of magnitude higher than over the Starlight/Daylight area. These differences can be attributed to different lithologies, alteration and mineralization styles and concentrations between the two main trends. The intrusive hosted mineralization tends to be associated with sheeted veins that have a relatively widespread distribution, in comparison to mineralization along the Daylight-Starlight trend which tends to be concentrated in 1 or 2 centralized 50-150-centimeter-thick quartz veins. quartz veins.

A total of 14 Au+-Ag soil anomaly targets were identified and corroborate historical soil samples. Most Starlight/Daylight anomalies follow the general NW-SE regional Silver King Shear trend whereas the Great Eastern/Western anomalies are broader with no particular orientation. Gold-in-soil signatures through the Starlight/Daylight are very spotty and segmented compared to the extensive and continuous Great Eastern/Western, perhaps a reflection of mineralization style differences between the two trends. As noted above, Au content in soils at the Great Eastern/Western is also considerably higher.

Terralogic report lists the top 40 gold mineralized samples of all types (>500 ppb Au). The sampling distribution has 65% of surface samples collected from within volcanic host rocks, with the remainder (35%) collected from areas underlain by the Silver King Porphyry. Despite the highest sample return coming from areas underlain by volcanics, 70% of the anomalous samples were collected from areas underlain by the Silver King Porphyry. This anomaly distribution confirms that the volcanic hosted Starlight-Daylight veins system is host to discreet narrow zones of high-grade gold mineralization; in contrast to the Silver King hosted mineralization of the Great Eastern and Western zones where gold bearing structures tend to be lower grade but more widespread.

Daylight Rock Sampling and Trenching

==> picture [25 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

The results of a rock sampling and trenching program in the fall of 2017 are reported by TerraLogic in 2018 and summarized here.

The primary goal of the 2017 trenching was to transect the main structures of interest determined by the prior studies, historical and collected data. In all, a total of 390 linear meters of road- cut sampling (Cseries), plus 1180 meters of excavated trenching was completed. A total of 421 rocks samples were collected from the Daylight project area. This includes 76 grab and chip samples collected while prospecting/mapping, 100 composite-chip samples collected during the C-series trenches and an additional 245 channel and chip samples collected from the excavated trenches.

The best gold return of 42.5 g/t Au is from a 1m channel sample in Trench E located along the volcanichosted vein system just southeast of the Starlight adit. Significant results from the trenches include 7.19g/t over 2m in Trench I2, and 3.59g/t over 3m in Trench I1. The top grab was 9.05g/t, coming from near the Great Western adit in a sample of Silver King porphyry with quartz veining.

Despite the highest sample return coming from areas underlain by volcanics, 70% of the top 40 samples (all over 0.5g/t) were collected from areas underlain by the Silver King Porphyry. This anomaly distribution confirms that the volcanic hosted Starlight-Daylight veins system is host to discreet narrow zones of highgrade gold mineralization; in contrast to the Silver King hosted mineralization of the Great Eastern and Western zones where gold bearing structures tend to be lower grade but more widespread.

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

The results of a magnetic survey reported below are described by TerraLogic in 2018 and summarized here.

The greater Daylight property area was previously subject to an airborne magnetic survey, however, to obtain more detailed results, a tightly spaced, 50m line-spacing, walking magnetic and VLF-EM survey was executed. The survey was conducted in July and August of 2017 and resulted in a 48.35 line-km survey which straddles the Silver King Intrusive/ Elise Volcanic contact in the Great Western/Eastern areas, and over the entirety of the Starlight-Daylight Shear system within the Elise Volcanics.

The primary purpose of the ground geophysical survey was to complete a more detailed magnetic response assessment of the entire Daylight property. Lithological contrasts are of prime interest including differentiation of Elise volcanics, Silver King porphyry, and late-stage mafic dykes, and quartz vein systems and their associated magnetic haloes (positive and negative). The mafic dykes are of particular interest. They are strongly magnetic relative to all other lithologies and have an inordinate spatial association with mineralization on the property. The final gridded magnetic data is shown in Figure 9-9.

Figure 9-9 Daylight Ground Magnetic Survey (Source: TerraLogic, 2018)

Both the volcanics and Silver King complex exhibit broad ranges of magnetic response. In general, the Silver King complex magnetic response is more subdued than the volcanics, with increasing magnetic signatures approaching the Silver King complex/volcanic contact. This contact is associated with a discernable narrow magnetic trough that is lined with parallel magnetic high lineaments on both sides. The broad zone of anomalous gold in soils between the Great Eastern and Great Western zone appears to be underlain by relatively low magnetic response.

By far, the majority of outcrop geostations in the volcanics note the presence of moderate to strong magnetic responses, except where strongly silicified. For the most part, the ground magnetic survey agrees with this generality. The main exception is in the lower elevations, within 150 to 200m of Giveout Creek, and to a lesser degree the low to moderate response 180m wide corridor that envelops the Daylight workings near the southeast limit of the survey. Both zones have notable thicknesses of glacial or alluvial cover. Several geostations in these low areas that do note limited outcrop also indicate a strong response by hand magnets. It is likely that the overburden in these areas is shielding the outcrop magnetic response.

The Daylight/Starlight vein system clearly follows a magnetic discontinuity as shown in Figure 9-10. In the Starlight working area, the vein is located at a transition linear from very high to moderate response. This trends to the southeast into the Victoria workings area that is enveloped by a more distinct magnetic low trough. This magnetic trough feature is more-or-less continuous until the B-trenches (100m NE of the Daylight workings), after which overburden is likely obscuring the magnetic response.

An additional parallel magnetic trough is notable in the volcanics approximately 300m north of the Starlight/Daylight vein system. Trench K, C3 and drillhole DL17008 all test this feature. Despite the intense shearing and limonite-hematite staining, no significant mineralization has been detected along this feature so far.

Copco percussion drill. Holes drilled were 476mm in diameter. A larger 508mm bit was attempted initially; however, it was abandoned due to extremely hard rock.

In addition to the reduction in bit size, further struggles were encountered during drilling. Hole P74-01 was abandoned at 15.24m due to loss of circulation, and no samples were recovered. Hole P74-02 was a second attempt from the same location, as a vertical hole. Holes P74-03 and P74-04 were both drilled at an azimuth of 040° and dip of -60°.

10.3 1981 Drilling – Kerr Addison Mines Ltd.

The following information on drilling by Kerr Addison Mines Ltd. is taken from Sirola, 1981.

In 1981, Kerr Addison Mines Ltd. drilled three AQ-sized holes in the Kena-Gold Mountain area to investigate gold anomalies in soils, and three holes in the Copper Zone to test copper anomalies in soils. Drilling was completed by Bergeron Drilling Ltd. of Greenwood, BC.

10.4 1985-1986 Drilling – Lacana Mining Corporation

The following information on 1985-1986 drilling by Lacana Mining Corporation is taken from Johnston, 1985 and Johnston, 1986 BC Geological Survey Branch Assessment reports.

In 1985, Lacana Mining Corporation drilled 12 NQ-sized holes on Kena-Gold Mountain and one hole on the Copper Zone, totalling 1,269.78m and 49.07m, respectively. There was a break in drilling on LK85-14 in July of 1985 due to forest closure, and no reports are available for the five holes drilled after the closure.

In 1986, 22 NQ-sized drillholes were completed in the Kena-Gold Mountain area, for a total of 3,128.75m. The program targeted the south extent of the mineralization encountered in 1985, one showing and two gold-in-soil anomalies away from the main zone. The first hole, LK86-20 intersected 9.03m of silicified and pyritized breccia assaying over 3.97g/t, while the remaining holes intersected spotty silicification and less pyrite. Although mineralized intersections were encountered around the main zone, Lacana concluded that the gold mineralization was spotty and did not continue to depth.

10.5 1987 Drilling – Tournigan Mining Explorations Ltd.

The following information on 1987 drilling by Tournigan Mining Explorations Ltd. is taken from Black, 1987.

In 1987, drilling was conducted by Beaupre Diamond Drilling of Princeton, BC. A total of five holes were drilled on Kena-Gold Mountain and one hole on the Copper Zone, for a total of 750.08m and 168.9m, respectively.

10.6 1988 Drilling – South Pacific Gold

The following information on 1987 drilling is taken from Giroux, 2013. MMTS does not have any reports from the 1988 exploration program.

West Mining Kena Project

In 1988, six NQ-sized core holes were drilled, for a total of 886.22m, on the Kena-Gold Mountain area. The 1988 drilling targeted the Shaft showing. Results from a 5.64m intersection of magnetite-rich volcanic breccia assayed 5.04g/t gold and 0.72% copper.

10.7 1990-1991 Drilling – Noramco Mining Corporation

The following information on drilling in 1990-1991 by Noramco Mining Corporation is taken from Lewis, 1990 and Lisle, 1991 BC Geological Survey Branch Assessment Reports.

In 1990, a total of eight diamond drillholes were completed on Kena-Gold Mountain, and two diamond drillholes on the Copper Zone, for a total of 1,963.3m and 373.55m, respectively.

A first phase of drilling included holes SH90-01 through SH90-06, completed by Lone Ranger Diamond Drilling Company Ltd. with a Longyear ‘44’ bulldozer-mounted diamond drill. Drillhole SH90-1 intersected siliceous tuff, with pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization with traces of chalcopyrite and sphalerite, a zone of fine-grained tuff and augite-crystal tuff with highly altered sections and ended in weakly altered coarse lapilli tuff. There were no overly significant results for gold or copper.

The NQ-sized drillholes K90-01 through K90-04 were drilled later in the year on the Kena-Gold Mountain and Coppper Zone. K90-01 targeted gold-in-soil anomalies, and K90-02 targeted the tuff-porphyry contact zone to test for mineralization. In K90-01, trace to minor chalcopyrite and chalcopyrite occur in the porphyry, and anomalous gold results were returned throughout the hole in andesitic tuff and Silver King Porphyry. The highest assay in the hole, 12.7g/t over 1.5m occurs in an intersection with pyrite stringers up to 1.2cm wide and may be due to a nugget effect. K90-03 and K90-04 targeted anomalous copper in soils, and intersected trace chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization, with increasing pyrite in mafic units. Four intersections of anomalous copper >0.1%, ranging from 7.5 to 16.5m in length, were encountered in the hole K90-03. K90-04 intersected 12 intervals (ranging 3.0 to 57.0m) that are all >0.1%.

In 1991, two drillholes were completed on the Copper Zone, totalling 723.76m, and one hole on KenaGold Mountain, 351.43m in length. The holes were testing geochemical, geophysical, and geological targets. Drillhole NK91-01 is the only hole described in the report (Lisle, 1991), it was drilled to test a copper in soil anomaly, IP chargeability anomaly and possible depth extension of mineralization identified in drillhole K90-04. Chlorite and epidote alteration are common, with 1-3% pyrite mineralization on average and traces of chalcopyrite and fine magnetite. Gold assays ranged up to 1.894g/t, and copper up to 0.1756%, with general correlation between high gold and high copper in the upper half of the hole.

10.8 2001-2010 Drilling – Apex Resources Inc.

The following information on drilling in 2001-2010 by Apex Resources Inc. is taken from BC Geological Survey Branch Assessment Reports Dandy 2001, 2002, 2003, 2008, and 2011. MMTS has not independently verified the information.

During 2001, a total of 29 diamond drillholes were completed, for a total of 4,901.1m on Kena-Gold Mountain. The first seven holes of 2001 confirmed the depth extension of widespread, porphyry-style gold mineralization within the Silver King intrusive and across the contact into the Elise Volcanics. The drilling showed that a broad zone of mineralization correlates well with coincident high gold in soil geochemistry and chargeability/resistivity highs. Samples averaged 0.8g/t gold, with intervals up to 28m

grading >2.5g/t gold, and 12m >4.0 g/t gold. The highest assay result was 16.20g/t gold over 2m in drillhole 01GM-05.

A second phase of drilling was conducted later in 2001 and into 2002, including diamond drillholes and reverse circulation drillholes (01GM-21 through 02GM-29, 02GM-30 through 02GM-40, and R02GM-01 to 04). Most of the drillholes in the second stage of 2001 drilling were step out holes to follow up on the results from the first phase of drilling. Four reverse circulation drillholes, for a total of 385.1m, were completed on Kena-Gold Mountain; however, they were unsuccessful at recovering samples at depth due to groundwater and the hardness of the intrusive rock. After four reverse circulation holes were completed, that method was abandoned, and the remaining holes were drilled by diamond drill. The results indicated zones of “bulk-tonnage type” gold mineralization, with multiple holes containing 100m wide zones averaging >1g/t gold. Several holes also intersected high-grade gold, indicating a gold-enriched zone spatially related to the contact between the Silver King Porphyry and the footwall of the Elise Volcanics. The high-grade intersections likely occur along a series of sub-parallel structures that cross the regional geologic trend at an oblique angle.

Through the summer and fall of 2002, drilling was carried out on all areas of the project. In the Gold Mountain area, holes tested the depth and strike length of gold mineralization, and the intrusive-volcanic contact. Many holes contained high grade gold assays over two-meter intervals, often surrounded by at least 100m of lower grade gold values, with many holes averaging over 0.3g/t gold for the entire length of the hole. The drilling in the Copper Zone was all within the Elise Volcanic package and showed that gold and copper mineralization increases and becomes widespread towards grid south, with high-grade mineralization occurring in a rusty, pyritic core, and low-grade halo mineralization associated with silica/potassium alteration. Drilling in Great Western tested the area under historic workings, an area with abundant quartz veining, and an area with coincident gold-in soil and high chargeability anomalies. In general, the drilling in Great Western identified broad widths of gold mineralization in areas of increased quartz and quartz-sulphide veining, or adjacent to lamprophyre dykes within the Silver King intrusive. Drilling in the Daylight zone showed elevated gold values confined to the same vein network of the historic workings. Shallower dyke swarms, and a deeper wide dyke were intersected in drillholes, and gold mineralization was seen to be confined to the area between the dykes. In general, the Daylight drilling identified a gold and silver-bearing vein system surrounded by lower grade stockwork mineralization, hosted within a strong northwest trending shear structure.

Overall, in 2002, 38 drillholes were completed on Kena-Gold Mountain, for a total of 6,380.25m, four holes were completed on Copper Zone, for a total of 1.065.33m, six holes were completed on Daylight, for a total of 868.37m, and five drillholes were completed on Great Eastern and Great Western, for a total of 711.41m.

All drilling in 2003 and 2004 was within the Kena-Gold Mountain area, 22 holes were completed in 2003, for a total of 1.086.73m, and four holes completed in 2004 for a total of 613.26m.

In 2007, one deep HQ-sized drillhole, 547.73m in length, was completed to test the depth extension of mineralization. The drillhole intersected mineralization deeper than had been previously identified. From surface to a depth of 430m down the hole, the core samples assayed 0.5 g/t gold, including a 101.27m

section averaging 0.84 g/t gold, and several higher-grade intersections, including 10.99 g/t gold over 4m, 9.10g/t gold over 1.27m, and 11.26g/t gold over 2m.

In 2010, ten holes were drilled by Apex, seven holes on Kena-Gold Mountain, totalling 845.24m, and three in the Copper Zone, totalling 740.05m. The Kena-Gold Mountain holes were drilled to test a magnetic low feature, believed to represent a deep-seated structural corridor. A non-mineralized mafic dyke was intersected in multiple holes, with gold mineralization occurring in the hanging wall of the dyke. One hole in Copper Zone (10SG-05) tested the down-dip potential of gold mineralization and the other two in Copper Zone were testing copper-gold porphyry potential.

10.9 2012 Drilling – Altair Gold Inc.

The following information on drilling by Altair Gold Inc. in 2012 is taken from Giroux and Park, 2013.

In 2012, 41 NQ2-sized diamond drillholes were completed in the Kena-Gold Mountain area, for a total of 7,527.02m. Drilling was conducted by Wade Critchlow Enterprises Ltd. of Salmo, BC with a JKS Boyles A5 B2 skid-mounted drill. Drilling was oriented along section lines at 040° and 060°, perpendicular to the trend of mineralization. Drilling was intended to fill in gaps between wide-spaced drilling and expand the mineral resource and was successful in defining wide zones of gold mineralization with narrow highergrade intervals, consistent with results from historic drilling. Two holes drilled in the northeast (12NESP01, and 12NESP-02) did not encounter any significant results.

10.10 2017 Drilling – Prize Mining Corporation

The following information on 2017 drilling by Prize Mining Corporation is taken from Brown and Gagnon, 2018.

In 2017, twelve holes were completed on Daylight, totalling 1,669.71m, and six holes were completed on Great Eastern and Great Western, totalling 1,025.06m. All drillholes were NQ2-sized. The main targets were ore shoots at depth along the main Daylight-Starlight trend in the Elise Volcanics, and the Great Eastern and Great Western mineralized zones with the Silver King Porphyry. Drilling was conducted by Lucky Drilling of Castlegar, BC. Some significant results include 17.57m of 0.58g/t gold in DL17002, 32.60m of 1.16g/t gold in DL17005, 71.22m of 1.09 g/t gold and 19m of 1.00g/t gold in DL17007, and 5.00m of 2.76g/t gold in DL17016.

Sampling by Prize Mining Corporation 2017 (Daylight, Great Eastern & Great Western)

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

The following information on sampling and assaying related to drilling by Prize Mining Corporation is taken from Brown and Gagnon, 2018. MMTS has not independently verified the information.

Core logging and sampling was completed at a secure core logging facility in Salmo. The core was then stacked and stored at property of Jack Denny, in Salmo, BC. Drill core was selected for assay based on mineralization and alteration, with sample intervals ranging from a minimum of 0.5m to a maximum of 2m in length. Most samples were split by manual core splitter at a secure core storage facility. Selected samples with highly mineralized or altered zones were cut with a saw to better observe the mineralization.

Samples were shipped to Bureau Veritas labs in Vancouver, BC. Bureau Veritas is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada under standards ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and RG-MINERAL.

Received samples were prepared by Bureau Veritas method PRP70-250. Samples were entered into the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) by Bureau Veritas personnel. The samples were then weighed, dried, and crushed to 70% passing 10 mesh (2mm), homogenized, riffle split (250g subsample) and pulverized to 85% passing 200 mesh (75 microns). Bureau Veritas conducts QC testing at random intervals and at the start of each shift to ensure these specifications are met.

Rock samples were analyzed using a 45-element ICP-MS package following 4-acid digest, and for gold by fire assay fusion – AAS finish (FA330-Au) with any fire assay result greater than 10ppm being re-run with fire assay fusion – Gravimetric finish.

Soil sampling traverses were navigated using a GPS device. Samples were collected at 25m spacing using a geotool or dutch auger. Wherever possible, the soil samples were collected from the B-Horizon of the soil profile (layer where metal ions are most mobile), or layer below organic material if B-horizon could not be found at a particular station. Soil Sample depth varied across the survey from 5-25cm. Data collected for each sample included sample size, quality, depth, slope, soil horizon color, and other notes. The quality of the sample is rated from 1-5, with 1 being very poor quality and 5 being excellent. Factors affecting quality include sample size, soil development, and amount of organic matter.

Soil samples were laid out to dry at the end of each day. Any samples with damaged bags or unclear labels were re-bagged and labeled. Soil samples were sorted, counted, and placed into rice bags for shipment. Each rice bag was labeled with shipment number and shipping/receiving addresses. The soil samples were shipped to Bureau Veritas in Vancouver, BC via Greyhound Bus lines. Soil samples were analyzed by 37element ICP following aqua regia digest of a 30g pulp.

Trench sampling was conducted on bedrock exposures or road cuts. Orientation and location of trenches were recorded with compass and hand-held GPS. Sample spacing ranged from 1-5m depending on lithology, mineralization, and alteration. Samples were collected by chipping or sawing in a representative

manner. Collected samples were bagged and tagged and then put into rice bags for shipment to Bureau Veritas lab in Vancouver, BC. The samples were analyzed by 45-element ICP after 4-acid digestion, and AAS fire assay for gold. Any gold result greater than 1000ppb was subject to metallic screen fire assay.

Sampling by Altair Gold Inc. 2012 (Kena)

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

The following information on sampling and assaying related to drilling by Altair Gold Inc. is taken from Park and Grunenberg, 2013. MMTS has not independently verified the information.

Boxed and sealed drill core was driven to the core facility in Salmo, BC daily. The geologist marked major sampling breaks, and individual samples were marked by the geotechnician. Core was generally split using a standard manual core splitter, with selected intervals being cut with a rock saw. Half of the core was placed into a labelled sample bag, with a sample tag. The remaining half core was returned to the box and labelled with the matching sample tag. Samples were typically collected along the entire drillhole, in 2m intervals, with lithological, alteration and mineralization boundaries being honoured.

Core logging, splitting, and sampling was conducted within a secure third-party core facility on private property in Salmo, BC. Access to the facility was limited to Altair personnel and the facility owner. Bagged samples were packaged into rice bags, sealed, and held in a locked area until they were picked up by commercial trucking company every few days for shipment.

Three certified reference materials representing a range of gold (±silver ±copper) concentrations were inserted into the sample stream at a ratio of 40:1. Certified reference materials were purchased from WCM Minerals in Burnaby, BC. The material used for blanks was a decorative garden stone purchased from a local vendor. Blanks were inserted into the sample stream at a ratio of 40:1. Field duplicates were collected during the second phase of the 2012 drilling, as quarter core.

Samples were shipped to ACME Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Vancouver, BC (Acme Labs). The laboratory did not report any incidences of tampering or damage to the samples upon arrival at the laboratory. Samples were prepared at the laboratory. Core samples were jaw crushed and split. A one-kilogram sample was crushed to minus 10 mesh (2mm), split to 250g, and then pulverized to minus 200 mesh (74μ). A 15g split underwent aqua regia digestion followed by ICP-MS analysis. Samples with ICP-MS results greater than 0.3g/t Au were re-analyzed using a 30g fire assay (FA) with an atomic absorption (AA) finish. If the FA-AA result for gold was greater than 10g/t, gravimetric finish was used. Selected core samples were submitted for metallics analysis. The sample for metallics assay was crushed and pulverized. A 500g split is screened, with the plus (+) 150 and –150 mesh fractions reserved for 30g fire assay. The plus fraction is finished gravimetrically, and the minus fraction is finished by AA. Pulps and rejects were discarded by the laboratory after 90 days.

Acme Labs implemented a quality system compliant with the International Standards Organization (ISO) 9001 Model for Quality Assurance and ISO/IEC 17025 General Requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. On November 13, 1996, AcmeLabs became accredited under ISO 9001 for competency in geochemical analysis and assaying. The laboratory maintained its registration in good standing from that time.

11.2 QAQC Summary

The historic reports containing QAQC samples were received from Apex in February 2021. QAQC samples were only included in the drilling years 2012 and 2017. The percentage of QAQC samples for the drilling in years which include QAQC is shown in Table 11-1 and indicates the rate of QAQC sampling is low. The target percentage of QAQC samples is typically 10-15 percent of the samples collected. Because there was no drilling in the Copper Zone in 2012 and 2017, there are no QAQC samples in the Copper Zone.

Within the three zones with QAQC, the database of duplicate samples contains 48 samples. The 2017 duplicates are coarse rejects samples prepared at the laboratory and the 2012 samples are quarter core field duplicates. The prep duplicates and field duplicates are from different zones and different years and are therefore analyzed separately.

Check samples and re-assays were done in years 1990, 2001, and 2002 for data verification and are discussed in Chapter 12. Check assays are reported in 2007 and 2010 however, no certificates are available for those samples.

A total of 26 certified reference material (CRM) samples from 2017 are analyzed for both gold and copper in the Great Eastern and Great Western area.

Great Eastern & Great Western CRM Gold

==> picture [37 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

The gold results for CRM samples are shown in Table 11-2 in order of decreasing grade. The results show that the mean of the assay of the high-grade gold CRM is slightly lower than the expected value, and the mean of the assay of the mid- and low-grade gold CRM samples are somewhat higher than the expected value. There are zero failures at the +/- 3 standard deviation criteria for the high and mid-grade gold CRM samples, and greater than expected failure rate for the low-grade gold CRM. The error overall indicates slightly higher than expected assay values. The results are considered to show acceptable accuracy for the Great Eastern and Great Western resource estimation.

Table 11-2 Great Eastern & Great Western CRM Analysis Results Gold

CRM	Samples	Au EV (g/t)	Avg Au (g/t)	SD Au (g/t)	CV (Au)	% Error (Au)	High Fail Au	Low Fail Au	% Fail (Au)

There are six coarse rejects duplicates from the Great Eastern and Great Western area in 2017. To create these duplicate samples, empty bags were submitted to the lab with a sample number (parent sample number with “D” suffix) to indicate when the lab was to take a re-split of the coarse rejects sample. Based on the lab preparing the duplicates and the sample numbering system, these duplicates were not blind to the lab.

There are too few samples for meaningful statistics on the Great Eastern and Great Western duplicate samples. The scatter plot of the gold duplicate pairs is shown in Figure 11-9. It shows high correlation and a 1:1 slope between the duplicate pairs.

There are no failures at the +/- 3 standard deviation criteria for the high- and low- grade CRM samples for copper. The error overall indicates very slightly higher than expected assay values. The accuracy and precision are reasonable, and the results are considered acceptable.

The process control chart for CRM ME-1607 in Figure 11-17 shows that the results are biased high, with two high failures and include four consecutive sample outside the +2SD line. The assays preceding and following these failures are generally low Cu values. The first failure follows a few samples after an assay of 0.2% Cu, which is the highest nearby assay, and lower than the expected value for the CRM.

Daylight Duplicates

==> picture [37 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

There are nine coarse rejects duplicates from the Daylight area in 2017. To create these duplicate samples, empty bags were submitted to the lab with a sample number (parent sample number with “D” suffix) to indicate when the lab was to take a re-split of the coarse rejects sample. Based on the lab preparing the duplicates and the sample numbering system, these duplicates were not blind to the lab.

There are too few samples for meaningful statistics on the Daylight duplicate samples. The scatter plot of the gold duplicate pairs in Figure 11-19 is shown on a logarithmic scale. It shows high correlation between the duplicate pairs, with a slight negative bias with the best fit line plotting slightly below the 1:1 line.

Kena-Gold Mountain Blanks

80 samples of blank material are included in the Kena – Gold Mountain sample stream during 2012. The results from the blank samples are presented in Figure 11-21 and Figure 11-22 for gold and copper, respectively. Figure 11-21 shows there are 31 assay results of blank material that are higher than the 5detection limit threshold for gold. The material used for blank samples was not a certified blank material, it consisted of a decorative white garden stone purchased from a local vendor (Park and Grunenberg, 2013). A 10detection limit threshold could be considered because the blank material is not certified; however, there are still 15 samples that have assay results greater than 10*detection limit for gold. This indicates that the garden stone is not a suitable blank material for gold, and there is a possibility that contamination of gold in the sample stream may be a problem, but not a significant level.

Kena – Gold Mountain Certified Reference Materials

==> picture [37 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

A total of 88 certified reference material (CRM) samples from the Kena-Gold Mountain area in 2012 are analyzed for gold and copper. Three CRM standards are used; however, only one CRM used is certified for copper (PM1123). A total of 28 of the 88 samples were PM1123.

The gold results for CRM samples are shown in Table 11-6 in order of decreasing grade. The results show that the mean of the assay of the high-grade gold CRM is lower than the expected value, and the mean of the assay of the mid- and low-grade gold CRM is higher than the expected value. The failure rates for all CRM samples are higher than expected. The overall error indicates higher than expected assay values. The assays preceding and following the failures are generally low, with a few mid-grade assays, indicating that the potential for contamination of gold in the sample stream is low. Park and Grunenberg (2013) report that because only one of the failed samples from each PM1123 and PM459 was in a mineralized zone, no corrective action or re-assaying was conducted. The results are considered acceptable at this level of resource estimation however, further check assays are recommended.

The process control charts fort the three certified reference materials are shown in the following figures. A sample which matches the expected value (EV) will plot on the green line, and a sample exceeding the +/- 3 Standard Deviations (SD) failure threshold will plot above or below the red lines. The samples are in order of sequence by sample number.

The process control chart for gold for the CRM PM929 in Figure 11-23 shows that the gold results have a slightly low bias, with two failures below the +/- 3 SD threshold.

The copper results for CRM samples are shown in Table 11-7, PM1123 is the only CRM used in 2012 that is certified for copper. The results show that the mean of the assay of the CRM samples is slightly higher than the expected value. There are no failures at the +/- 3 SD criteria, and the overall error indicates slightly higher than expected assay values. The accuracy and precision are reasonable, and the results are considered acceptable.

Kena-Gold Mountain Duplicates

==> picture [37 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

There are 33 quarter-core field duplicates from the Kena-Gold Mountain area in 2012. There is one outlier sample that affects the statistics and plot for rest of the duplicate pairs, some variations in grade between duplicate pairs are expected in gold for this deposit type, and therefore the outlier has been removed from the data set for the statistics and presentation of the scatter plot. The results of duplicate analyses of these sample pairs are given in terms of simple statistics in Table 11-8. The statistics show that the averages and standard deviations between the two sets are slightly different for gold and very close for copper, indicating minor bias in the gold samples and little bias in copper.

Table 11-8 Kena-Gold Mountain Duplicates Simple Statistics (outlier removed)

Samples 32	Average D1	StdDev D1	Average D2	StdDev D2
Au (g/t)	0.168	0.187	0.174	0.207
Cu (%)	0.019	0.021	0.019	0.021

The scatter plot of the gold duplicate pairs in Figure 11-27 (with the outlier sample removed) is presented on a logarithmic scale. The plot shows high correlation between the two sets of duplicates, and a slight positive bias, with the best fit line plotting slightly above the 1:1 line.

11.3 Conclusions and Recommendations

After analysis of the sampling and QAQC program provided at the properties in the Kena Project, MMTS concludes that:

The history of sampling and security programs are deemed appropriate for each era of exploration.
The QAQC programs employed during 2012 and 2017 are below the normal requirements for resource estimation. It is recommended that a higher ratio of QAQC samples should be used in future sampling programs and should comprise approximately 15% of the total assays sampled.
The local rock and garden stone used as blank materials in 2012 and 2017 have a high failure rate and are not suitable blank materials. Certified blank materials should be used for QAQC sampling.
• Two of the three gold CRM samples inserted into the sample streams in 2012 indicate there may a high bias in the gold assays, however the number of samples is small, and sometimes there are issues with the CRM materials. Additional check assay programs are recommended including QAQC samples.
There are no QAQC samples in drilling in the Copper Zone. Check assays with QAQC is recommended for the Copper Zone.

The QAQC is adequate for resource estimation at this time, but it is recommended improvements are made for future studies.

Data Verification

==> picture [25 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

12.1 Site Visit

The QP visited the Kena Project site on 26-28 January 2021 and was toured the property by Jack Denny, a private landowner who is familiar with the project and provides core storage facilities. During the visit locations were confirmed for seven drilling pads with one drillhole each in the Gold Mountain area, six clearings with a total of 12-14 drillholes in the Kena area, and the Discovery Trench. Approximate locations of the drillholes were confirmed with a handheld GPS device. It was not possible to observe drill collars due to snow conditions at the time. Drilling and sampling protocol was reviewed, and the core boxes in the storage facility were observed. Sampling of twelve drill core specimens were bagged, tagged, and sealed for delivery to ACTLabs in Kamloops.

12.2 Data Audit

MMTS received the assay Kena assay database from Perry Grunenberg, and the Daylight assay database from Jarrod Brown of TerraLogic in December of 2020.

Corrections to Database

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

MMTS noted the following issues in the database. Any corrections that have been applied are described below.

Many assay intervals were missing sample IDs in the database, while most certificates only contained sample IDs. Without a sample ID many intervals could not be checked against certificates. Many sample IDs were available in historic reports and were added to the database where the sample ID was previously blank.
Certificate IDs were not previously tracked in the database. Certificate IDs were entered for all assays that certificates are available in the drilling reports. The primary laboratory, now Bureau Veritas, was also contacted and was able to provide some certificates. Assays that are missing certificates are flagged in the database.
Inconsistent use of lab repeats assay results (lab duplicates and triplicates). Sometimes first result, sometimes highest, sometimes middle result, sometimes average of results. – no changes made.
Inconsistent use of total metallics assay result if/when that assay method was conducted in addition to ICP/Fire Assay. – no changes are made.
All assays below detection limit in the 2017 Daylight drilling had “0” values entered rather than half detection limit. These were corrected to half of detection limit results.
A number of assays, generally from 2000-2002 that are below detection limit are entered in the database as the detection limit. This is possibly a result of rounding (i.e. DL= 0.01, 1/2DL = 0.005) but some parts of the database may have been rounded to 2 decimal places at some point, so 0.005 appears as 0.01.
Many blank assays in the database for copper and silver assays that exist on certificates. This is noted as a future opportunity to complete the database.
Any Cu assay values that were missing from Copper Zone drillholes were added to the database from certificates.

Certificate Checks

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

A total of 2,284 assays, or 14.4% of assays in the database, were checked against certificates to verify assays for gold. Errors were found in gold results for 27 assay intervals, 0.96% of assays checked. Of the errors identified, 63% have less than 0.1 g/t difference from the correct value.

A total of 189 assays, or 2.2% of copper assay intervals in the database, were checked against certificates to verify assays of copper. No errors were found.

During the certificate checks, and identifying which assay intervals have certificates, MMTS identified a total of 4,070 intervals that are missing certificates, equal to 20.8% of the database, the distribution of missing certificates by resource area and year is presented in Table 12-1.

The reasons for missing certificates include:

Missing pages in BC Geological Survey Assessment Reports,
Assessment Reports that were filed before the completion of a drill program, or before all assay results were back from the lab,
Incomplete records in the Assessment Reports.

12.3 Check Assays

The analyses of four series of check assay samples are presented here. In 2021 twelve core samples were collected by S. Bird, P. Eng. at site and the results are acceptable. In 2001-2002, 111 coarse rejects were sent to Chemex for check assays and 84 samples were re-assayed at Acme, the results of both sets show a potential high bias in the original assay samples. In 1990, 38 coarse reject samples were sent to Chemex as check assays for both gold and copper from the Copper Zone and the analysis shows acceptable results.

Check assays in 2007 and 2010 are reported in the drilling reports, however, because no certificates are found, MMTS is not considering these series. MMTS recommends further check assay to validate historic data be conducted.

2021 Core Duplicates

==> picture [31 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

A set of twelve core samples was selected from the core boxes stored on pallets on a private property in Salmo, BC. by S. Bird, P.Eng. on 28 January 2021. Samples were selected from drillholes to represent varying grades and locations. The samples were processed at ActLabs in Kamloops, BC, by fire assay with AA finish, and gravimetric finish for samples with initial assay results over 5.0g/t. The selected samples are presented in Table 12-2 which shows drillhole, interval and sample numbers and assay values as well as the average and standard deviation of each assay sample set. The mean values are quite close with a relative difference of 3%.

The results are presented in the scatter plot in Figure 12-1 and show good correlation along a straight line with a slope slightly above the 1:1 line. The slope of the best fit line above 1 indicates the trend of 2021 assays is approximately 10% higher than the historic assays, however, this is highly influenced by the

values above 2g/t. For values below 2g/t the database assay values are seen to be higher than the 2021 check assay results, resulting in the mean values being very close. The results do not show significant bias and are considered acceptable for drill core duplicate assays considering the “nuggety” nature of gold.

2001-2002 Data Verification Check Assays

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

No QAQC samples were included in the 2001 and 2002 drilling. It was reported that for data verification purposes, one sample in 10 was given a random number and resubmitted to ACME, and about one sample in 20 was submitted to Chemex labs in Vancouver, BC for comparison (Dandy 26699, 2001). The reports do not explicitly state what kind of samples they are, coarse rejects or pulp duplicates. MMTS reviewed the drilling reports and located certificates for check assays and finds the numbers as reported in Table 12-3, the sampling rate appears to be much lower, ranging from one in 50 to one in 90.

Because the sample sizes for the Copper Zone, Daylight and Great Eastern/Great Western are so small, ranging from 3 to 8 samples, any significant differences between the means of the gold grades are not

The HARD plot of the duplicate pairs is shown inFigure 12-3, and give 58% less than 10% HARD which is less than expected for coarse duplicates. Because the nature of gold mineralization is “nuggety”, and there does not appear to be significant bias to the ACME results, these duplicate results are considered

2001-2002 Acme Re-assays

Of the 85 assay samples re-assayed by ACME in 2001-2002, one was not in a resource area, one had a mismatched interval, and one is a significant outlier. The summary and statistics of the remaining 82 duplicate analyses at ACME are given in Table 12-5. Because the number of samples in the Copper Zone, Daylight and Great Eastern/Great Western range between only 2 to 8, any significant differences between the means of the gold grades are not concerning. The mean of the Kena-Gold Mountain results gives a relative difference of 6%, indicating a small positive bias to the database values.

In 1990, 38 coarse reject samples were sent to Chemex as check assays for both gold and copper from the Copper Zone. The simple statistics of the 38 duplicate pairs are presented in Table 12-6 and shows the means of the Chemex assay to be slightly higher for gold and slightly lower for copper.

The scatter plot of gold assay duplicate pairs is given in Figure 12-5. The best fit line shows a marginal R- Squared indicating poor correlation, and a slope above the 1:1 line indicating the Chemex re-assay are higher than the ACME assays, confirming the results seen in the means.

The scatter plot for copper is given in Figure 12-6 and shows good correlation between the pairs with an R-Squared value of 0.9807 and a slope slightly lower than 1.0. The slightly lower slope indicates the original ACME results are slightly higher than the check assays, but not significantly biased.

12.4 Conclusions and Recommendations

MMTS finds the site visit, data audit and check assays to confirm that the resource database is adequate for resource estimation at this level. Concerns include a significant portion (20%) of the database is missing certificates, certificates of historic check assays from data verification programs are missing, and potential bias is seen in the 2001-2002 check assays. MMTS recommends the following:

Further check assays be conducted to include 5-10% of samples from every year that core or samples are available and include QAQC samples.
The assay database be amended to include silver and copper for all available samples.

Mineral Resource Estimates

==> picture [25 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

The Mineral Resource estimate has an effective date of March 25, 2021 and is an update to the previous resource estimate of the 2013 Kena Gold deposit (Giroux, 2004). The resource estimate was prepared by Sue Bird, P.Eng., of MMTS.

14.1 Kena Mineral Resource

The Mineral Resource statement for the Kena deposit with an effective date of March 25, 2021 is listed in Table 14-1. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral Resources were estimated using the 2019 CIM Best Practice Guidelines and are reported using the 2014 CIM Definition Standards.

Ordinary Kriging (OK) has been used for Au estimation with capping and outlier restriction implemented to reduce the effect of high-grade outliers and reduce the coefficient of variation (C.V.).

The base case cut-off grade within the “reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction” constraining pit is 0.25 g/t gold (Au), as highlighted in Table 14-1. Table 14-1 is the total deposit resource and includes a range of Au cut-off grades to show the sensitivity of the resource estimate to variations in cut-off grade. At a 0.25 g/t Au cut-off, the total Indicated Mineral Resource is estimated at 32.1 Mt at 0.544 g/t Au, for a total of 562 Koz of gold. Table 14-2 through Table 14-4 summarize the resource by deposit areas as Kena Gold, Gold Mountain and Daylight, respectively.

Notes for Table 14-1 through 14-4:

1. Resources are reported using the 2014 CIM Definition Standards and were estimated using the 2019 CIM Best Practices Guidelines.

2. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

4. Pit slope angles are assumed at 45º.

5. The specific gravity of the deposit has been assigned as 2.8 based on sg measurements in the Kena deposit

6. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

14.2 Key Assumptions and Data used in the Estimate

The total sample database contains results from 203 core holes and 4 percussion holes from 1974 totalling 31,414.7m. The 1974 percussion holes were not used for the resource estimate. A summary of the drillholes within the Kena block model and used for interpolation is provided in Table 14-5. Figure 14-1 is a plan map showing the drillhole traces, the claims boundaries, and the resource pit shape.

14.3 Geologic Modelling

The lithology, alteration and structural models had been previously interpreted by geologist working for Apex and Altair (see Sections 7 and 9 of this report). The main Kena-Gold Mountain zones is a shear hosted deposit associated with the Silver King Shear at the contact of the Silver King Intrusive and the Elise volcanics on the eastern arm of the Hall Creek syncline. The Cu Zone is an extension of the Kena-Gold Mountain trend and is considered to have porphyry style mineralization with elevated Au and Cu grades. The Daylight, Great Eastern and Great Western mineralization lies on the western arm of the Hall Creek

syncline. The Daylight deposit is vein hosted within the lower Elise volcanics, with elevated Au grades over a true width of approximately 50m and has been mapped over an extent of approximately 3.3km. The Great Eastern and Great Western mineralization is more disseminated than the Daylight. The Cu zone and Great Eastern and Great Western zones, although they have been modelled, are not considered part of the current Resource due to the drill spacing and lack of geologic controls. Figure 14-2 below plots the simplified logged lithology illustrating the Silver King and Elise Volcanic contact on each side of the syncline.

The domains used in the interpolations have been created using implicit modelling (IM) which considers the structural and lithologic interpretations as well as the Au and Cu grades in the assayed drillholes. The overburden surface was created using logging provided by site. The domains and interpolation were clipped to the bottom of the overburden surface, and the resource is calculated based on the percentage of the block below the overburden and within the wireframe. Figure 14-3 illustrates the domains used for interpolation. Figure 14-4 illustrates the Daylight and Great Eastern / Great Western wireframes and the mapped Au soil anomalies as well as the Daylight vein trace illustrating close matching of the mapping with the wireframes used. Soil anomalies corresponding to the wireframes are also provided in Figure 9- 1 and Figure 9-2 for the Kena and Daylight properties, respectively.

14.4 Assay Statistics and Capping

The assay statistics were examined using boxplots, histograms, and cumulative probability plots (CPPs). Figure 14-5 and Figure 14-6 are examples of the CPPs for the Kena and Gold Mountain areas, respectively. The areas were divided into domains for the implementation of capping using cut-offs of 0.1gpt Au for low grade (LG), 0.3gpt Au for higher grade (HG) and below the 0.1gpt cut-off as a background domain. These high grade, mid-grade and background grade zones correspond roughly to the Silver King intrusives,

the zone proximal to the intrusive contact with the underlying Elise volcanics, and the zone distal to the contact, respectively.

The capping values for each area and “lithology domain” is summarized in Table 14-6. Assay statistics for the capped gold grades are summarized in Table 14-7, illustrating that composited grades equal assay grade and therefore compositing has not introduced a bias. Also illustrated is that the grade distribution is generally lognormal, and the coefficient of Variation (C.V.) is equal to or below 2.0, meaning that interpolation by linear methods is generally acceptable.

14.5 Compositing

Assay sample lengths varied across the drill programs but are generally between 1.0 and 3.0m. A histogram of the assay intervals is shown in Figure 14-7, illustrating that the majority are 5m or less. A base composite length of 5.0m was used to ensure assay sample splits are minimized, as well as to reduce the Cv and align with potential selective mining unit. Assay data were coded with a domain value prior to compositing. The domain code was honoured during compositing. Any interval within a domain that was less than 2.5m was composited with the interval above it.

14.6 Density Assignment

Model blocks were assigned the mean specific gravity of 2.8 which is the mean of all the sg values with outliers removed. Specific gravity has been measured using Archimedes principle. Measurements were only made in the Kena and Gold Mountain zones and consisted of 65 measurements within the Silver King porphyry and Elise volcanics.

14.7 Block Model Interpolations

The block model uses 20 x20 x 10m blocks with the extents of the model summarized in Table 14-8. This block size has been chosen based on the expected Selective Mining Unit (SMU). The average drillhole spacing ranges from 10m to 90m, with the mean drillholes spacing for the Indicated resource at about 3035m suggesting that the block size used is appropriate.

MineSight[©] software was used for geostatistical investigations and interpolations, as well as for the “reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction” pit and to generate the resource statement.

14.8 Classification of Mineral Resources

Blocks were assigned preliminary classifications based on the average distances to at least two drillholes to be less than 30m. Two solids in constrained areas of the Kena Gold and Gold Mountain area were defined based on this criteria. Blocks within this solid, are classified as Indicated. The distance of 30m is based on the R80 value from the variography; as the range at approximately 80% of the sill. All other blocks that have an interpolated Au grade within the Kena and Daylight deposits are defined as Inferred. Blocks within the Cu zone and Great Eastern and Great Western deposits are un-classed and not included in the final resource estimate. Figure 14-9 is a plan view of the final block classification the drillhole density showing the pit outlines for reference.

Model Validation

The capping, modelling methods, and search parameters were chosen so that the final interpolated grades closely match the de-clustered composite data (using a nearest-neighbour or NN model) while showing appropriate smoothing.

To perform appropriate validations, a NN model was created to compare the de-clustered composites to the modelled grades. To validate the amount of smoothing in the model, the NN model was corrected

for block size using an indirect lognormal theoretical correction, based on the global variogram parameters and mean grades for each domain.

Global Grade Validation

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Resource validation to ensure there was no global bias compared NN grades to those of the final grade interpolation at zero cut-off. Table 14-13 summarizes this comparison by domain, illustrating that the difference in gold grades by domain is within % overall. For copper, the comparison shows mean modelled grades within % for all domains.

Grade-Tonnage Curves

==> picture [31 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Grade–tonnage curves were created to compare the Au and Cu (in the Cu zone only) interpolated grades with de-clustered composite grades. Figure 14-10 through Figure 14-12 illustrate this comparison for gold and silver respectively, showing increased smoothing (reduced grades and increased tonnage) compared to the uncorrected NN grade curves, but a similar distribution compared to the theoretical NN-ILC grades.

14.9 Reasonable Prospects of Eventual Economic Extraction

An open pit created using Lerchs–Grossmann (LG) pit optimization has been done on a series of pits with varying price assumptions. The L-G pit is limited by the claim boundary and the pit slopes are assumed to be 45[ο] . The base case price, cost, smelter terms, foreign exchange and recoveries are summarized in Table 14-14.

Table 14-14 Summary of Base Case Economic Inputs

Parameter	Value	Units
Gold Price Copper Price Forex Gold Payable Cu Payable Gold Offsites Cu Offsites Royalty	$2,000.00 $3.50 0.77 99.9 95.0 4.30 0.35 3	US$/oz US$/lb ($US:$CDN) % % $/oz $/lb %

Net Smelter Gold Price (CDN$) Net Smelter Cu Price(CDN$)	$80.83 $3.87	$/g %

Gold Process Recovery Copper Process Recovery – Cu Zone only	88 85	% %

The resulting NSR equation in Canadian dollars is:

𝑁 𝑁𝑁 = ($82.94 ∗𝐴 𝐴 𝐴𝐴∗0.85) + (3.83 ∗ Cu% ∗ 2204.62 ∗0.85)

A gold price of US$1800/oz and a processing cost of $14.00/t requires a AuEq grade of approximately 0.25 g/t. Therefore, a cut-off of 0.25g/t AuEq is considered appropriate for current gold prices. The final resource pit has been based on the LG pit at $US2,000/oz Au to ensure that the resource pit will be large enough to encompass any potential reserves and is representative of an eventual economic extraction shape.

For the LG pit optimizations the costs given in Table 14-15 were used. Constant pit slopes at 45º were used for the resource pit.

14.10 Factors That May Affect the Mineral Resource Estimate

Areas of uncertainty that may materially impact the Mineral Resource estimate include:

Commodity price assumptions
Metal recovery assumptions
Mining and processing cost assumptions

There are no other known factors or issues known to the QP that materially affect the estimate other than normal risks faced by mining projects in the province in terms of environmental, permitting, taxation, socio-economic, marketing, and political factors.

14.11 External Review

The Resource Estimate methodology and conclusions have been reviewed by the external reviewer, Mike O’Brien, P. Geo., of Red Pennant Geoscience Services. Mike has concluded that the block estimates match the intent and method applied.

14.12 Risk Assessment

A description of potential risk factors is given in Table 14-16 along with either the justification for the approach taken or mitigating factors in place to reduce any risk.

Environmental Studies, Permitting and Social or Community Impact

==> picture [25 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

On the Daylight portion of the property a MYAB (multi-year area based) Mineral Exploration and Reclamation Permit MX-5-761 is in place, expiring in August 2022 prior to which a new 5-year permit application is required. Current reclamation bonding associated with this permit is $95,000 and is released by the government once the company ceases to explore the property and all reclamation work is completed.

The Kena Property is not currently permitted for diamond drilling. A new 5-year multi-area permit application was submitted to the Ministry of Mines in February 2021, with an anticipated approval timeline of 6 months. The property has had numerous drilling and exploration programs permitted previously and the author sees no reason to believe that the currently submitted permit application will not be approved in a timely manner.

Adjacent Properties

==> picture [25 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

The Kena property area has had a long history of exploration that led to the discovery of various mineralized prospects. The existence and location of these past producing mines and prospects is not necessarily indicative of the existence of similar mineralization at Kena. The following has been paraphrased from previous report as referenced.

23.1 Silver King Mine

Silver King Mine is the largest past-producer associated with the Silver King intrusions. The property was once part of the Apex mineral title holdings, falling west of its claim block. Silver King mineralization comprises three polymetallic veins, with galena, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and tetrahedrite and minor sphalerite, bornite, and stromeyerite within highly sheared Elise Fm mafic volcanic flows near the eastern contact of the Silver King intrusion. The gangue is quartz, carbonate, and siderite in sericite schist, a highly sericitized and sheared Silver King intrusion. The Silver King Mine (BC Minfile 082FSW176) was in continuous production from 1889 to 1913, then intermittently up to 1958. Mining of 202,049 t of ore returned 138,214,612 g Ag, 8,896 g Au, 6,789,739 kg Cu, 15,234 kg lead (Pb) and 4,071 kg zinc (Zn), which correlates to an average grade of 684 g/t Ag and 3.36% Cu.

23.2 Athabasca Mine and California Prospect

The historic Athabasca Mine and the California prospect are vein deposits in the Elise Fm between the Silver King intrusion and the Nelson batholith, just to the north of the Gold Mountain-Kena Gold mineralized trend outlined on the Kena property. These quartz veins containing free gold associated with pyrite and base metal sulphides are described as typical orogenic- style.

The Athabasca Mine (BC Minfile #082FSW168) had historic production of 20,219 tonnes grading 31.2 g/t Au and 10.0 g/t Ag.

Starlight Trend

==> picture [31 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

The Starlight Trend is a series of northeast-trending mineralized bodies parallel to and 1.5km west of the Kena resource trend.

In 2002, Apex’s exploration program included surface work and drilling. Dandy (2003) reports that surface sampling of the Starlight vein, which varies from 10c m to over 2m wide (averaging 1m ) returned assay results as high as 22.5 g/t Au and 150.9 g/t Ag over 1.0m. One drillhole that intersected the 28cm wide Starlight vein returned 30.37 g/t Au and 140.8 g/t Ag. A parallel vein contained 10.96 g/t Au over 2.0m.

Historic production from Starlight Mine (BC Minfile #082FSW174) was 21 tonnes grading 27.7 g/t Au, 139.8 g/t Ag, and 0.96% Cu. The Starlight Trend also contains the historic Victoria and Daylight mines. Historic production from Victoria Mine (BC Minfile #082FNW040) was 3 tonnes grading 1.12 g/t Au, 28.9 g/t Ag, and 2.56% Cu. Daylight Mine (BC Minfile #082FSW125) produced 327 tonnes grading 27.0 g/t Au and 15.2 g/t Ag.

Interpretation and Conclusions

==> picture [25 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

25.1 Geology and Mineralization

Knowledge of the deposit settings, lithologies, and structural controls on mineralization, and the mineralization style and setting are sufficient to support Mineral Resource estimation.
Additional information on lithology, structure and alteration associated with mineralization would increase confidence in the mineral resource and potentially upgrade the Cu Zone, Great Eastern and Great Western to be included in the resource estimate.

25.2 Exploration and Drilling

The exploration programs completed to date are appropriate to the style of the known mineralization within the Project area.
Geophysical surveys have proven useful to assist in interpreting deposit geology and identifying drill targets for future exploration.
A total of 252 drillholes resulting in 36,243.9m of assayed intervals have been drilled into the project area between 1974 and 2017. Less than one percent of drilling was before 1981.

25.3 Sample Preparation and Analysis

Sampling methods are acceptable and meet industry-standard practice relative to the era of drilling.
For samples after 1988, analysis has been documented that it was performed by accredited thirdparty laboratory.
The QAQC programs employed during 2012 and 2017 have sample inclusion rates below the normal requirements for the resource estimate.

25.4 Data Verification

Drillhole data from 1980 to the present has been used in the resource estimate. Certificate checks were made and any corrections to the data have been included in the interpolations. Data that did not include QAQC has been validated using Point Validation.

MMTS finds the site visit, data audit, and check assays to confirm that the resource database is adequate for resource estimation at this level. Concerns include a significant portion (20%) of the database is missing certificates, certificates of historic check assays from data verification programs are missing, and potential bias is seen in the 2001-2002 check assays.

25.5 Mineral Resource Estimate

The mineral resource has been estimated using ordinary kriging to estimate the Au grade in the Kena Gold, Gold Mountain and Daylight vein deposits. The estimate is constrained to a “reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction” pit and has been validated by statistical comparisons with de-clustered composites and visual comparison.

Recommendations

==> picture [25 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

The following recommendations are made to more the project forward.

26.1 Exploration and Drilling

Based on the presence of orogenic porphyry and vein gold and porphyry copper-gold mineralization hosted on the large Kena Property the author recommends additional work. Mineralization, originally outlined by soil geochemistry, has been followed up with several phases of diamond drilling which indicates that the gold and copper zones align along strong structural corridors readily identified by geophysical signatures.

The 2021 exploration program will include two phases, one exploring targets on the Daylight portion of the property and the other on the Kena side. Phase 2 is not contingent upon the results of the Phase 1 as the phases target separate zones.

In Phase 1, up to twelve short step-out diamond drillholes will test the Starlight Vein system and two fences of six to eight holes will be drilled in the Great Western area to expand on previously identified intrusive related gold mineralization in that zone. At Starlight, drill results will assist in determining the average grade and width of this vein in the vicinity of the historic Starlight workings where the magnetic low signature is strongly consistent with the shear hosted vein location. A total of 2000 metres of drilling at Starlight and Great Western is recommended at a cost of $315,000 CAD.

Phase 2 consists of diamond drilling on the Kena portion of the property with two priority target areas. The large Kena Copper Zone is to be tested with a series of three drill fences, totalling fifteen drillholes, to be located where the strongest portion of the copper soil geochemical anomaly is associated with a significant induced polarization geophysical signature. Along with drilling the copper porphyry target, an additional 2000 metres of drilling is recommended, with holes targeted to expand the Gold MountainKena Gold Zones’ gold resource and to bring a portion of the inferred resource into the measured and indicated category.

In conjunction with the drilling program, a two-week geological mapping, prospecting, and rock sampling survey is to be conducted over several target areas in the southern portion of the Kena claim block (south of the Kena Copper Zone). Target areas have been identified by prior geochemical and geophysical surveys.

Cost for Phase 2 diamond drilling and the southern extension exploration program is $850,000 CAD.

26.2 QAQC and Check Assays

The QAQC programs employed during 2012 and 2017 are below the normal requirements for resource estimation. It is recommended that a higher ratio of QAQC samples should be used in future sampling programs and should comprise approximately 15% of the total assays sampled.

The local rock and garden stone used as blank materials in 2012 and 2017 have a high failure rate and are not suitable blank materials. Certified blank materials should be used for QAQC sampling.

West Mining Kena Project

Two of the three gold CRM samples inserted into the sample streams in 2012 indicate there may a high bias in the gold assays, however the number of samples is small, and sometimes there are issues with the CRM materials. Additional check assay programs are recommended including QAQC samples.

There are no QAQC samples in drilling in the Copper Zone. Check assays with QAQC is recommended for the Copper Zone.

Further check assays be conducted to include 5-10% of samples from every year that core or samples are available and include QAQC samples.

The assay database be amended to include silver and copper for all available samples.
