About the Marudi Gold Project
The Company is developing the Marudi
Gold Project located in Guyana, South America. The project has
18-year mining license in good standing, all-season road access,
infrastructure in place, with an established camp serviced by
employees, service buildings, and a full-time camp manager. The
Property has three known gold bearing areas: the alluvial areas, the
saprolite, and the underlying hard-rock.
There has been 42,000 metres
of historic diamond drilling (141 holes) completed on the project by
prior operators that have delineated two zones of mineralization:
Mazoa Hill and Marudi North zones. The Company has recently
completed a mineral resource estimate on the Mazoa Hill zone
containing 259,100 indicated gold ounces within
4,428,000 tonnes grading 1.80 g/t and
86,200 inferred gold ounces within 1,653,000 tonnes grading
1.60 g/t. The Company has recently discovered a third mineralized
zone: Toucan Ridge. This zone is the current focus of the Company's
2018 trenching program. There exists excellent
exploration upside for the further discovery of mineralized zones
through the development of previously and newly identified
mineralized bedrock targets on the project.
For information concerning the
mineral resource estimate and the project, readers are encouraged to

Resource Estimate", a technical report prepared for the Company by

About
Guyana
The Republic of Guyana is
located in South America adjacent to Suriname. The country is
English speaking and under British Common Law with a
democratically-elected government. It has an established mining act
and a rich history of gold production. In 2016, 690,000 ounces of
gold was produced by operators mining in the country. The Fraser
Institute's 2016 Annual Survey of Mining listed Guyana as the third
best mining jurisdiction with regards to investment attractiveness
in the Latin America and Caribbean Basin sub-group. The Guiana
Shield is the geographic gold-hosting region, and is
world-recognized as a premier gold region that is highly
prospective, under-explored and has geological continuity with West
Africa.* In 2016, two mines in Guyana declared the commencement of
commercial production: the Aurora deposit (Guyana Goldfields) and
the Karouni deposit (Troy Resources).
