Yellowknife - One of Six High Grade Gold Camps in Canada

More Than 300M* Oz Gold have been mined from Archean Gold deposits in Canada, with the vast majority from High Grade Gold Camps

Yellowknife is the most northerly and least explored of these camps

* Gold Ounces in Camps include known historical production, reserves and drill indicated resources from public

records. Totals should be considered approximate with an error range sufficient for comparison purposes. Other

large Archean gold areas include Detour/Sunday Lake; Rice Lake; Chibougamau; Meliadine; and Meadowbank

Benefits of Historical Exploration$M Saved, Accelerated Project Timeline

Previous core storage Giant Mine Core Yard~200 YCG Drill Holes Recovered

• TerraX has compiled +450 historical drill

logs (1938-96) recovered from Giant

Mine by the NWT Geoscience Office

• Core from ~200 drill holes recovered by

TerraX from Giant Mine core yard,

sampling by TerraX included 5.0m @

62.90g/t Au and 20.86m @ 3.79g/t Au

• >250 drill collar locations have been

identified and surveyed by TerraX – we

have accurately located the ‘best’ holes

• TerraX has identified and sampled

dozens of gold mineralized trenches

• Project moved years ahead of schedule,

and savings of $M

THE ‘CORE GOLD AREA’Concentrating our exploration efforts

• Based on Surface work and drilling

TerraX has defined a 5 x 3 km ‘Core

Gold Area’ of mineralization

• The Core Gold Area contains the

Barney Shear (the extension of Con &

Giant); the Crestaurum Deposit; Shear

20; as well as several other high grade

shears and veins

• Taken collectively we believe the

shears and veins could be indicative of

gold-bearing vein sets common to

large mineralized systems

• The 2015 exploration drilling will be

carried out in this area

FOCUS ON THE ‘CORE GOLD AREA’

� Approximately 2660 surface samples have been taken by TerraX in 2013, 2014 & 2015

o 20% >1g/t Au, up to 1205 g/t Au

� Exploration in 2013 and 2014 defined a 5km x 3km “Core Area” of gold mineralization

� Core Area contains:

o Barney Shear (extension of Con & Giant) -22.42 m @ 6.35 g/t Au in DDH

o Crestaurum Deposit - 5.0 m @ 63.90 g/t Auin DDH

o Shear 20 - 21.12 m @ 2.97 g/t Au in DDH

o Barney Deformation Corridor (“BDC”) channel sampling 2015:

• 11 m @ 7.55 g/t Au Hebert-Brent

• 6 m @ 10.26 g/t Au Hebert-Brent South

• 15 m @ 2.23 g/t Au Hebert-Brent East

o Shear 17 (2.0 m @ 21.40 g/t Au in channels)

o high grade off-angle veins with assays up to 549, 712 and 878 g/t Au in grabs

� Collectively, the shears and veins are indicative of gold bearing vein sets common to large mineralized systems
