SILVER VISTA PROPERTY

The Silver Vista property comprises 4,839 hectares and is accessible by logging roads and is characterized by gentle topography. Surface sampling and drilling have indicated multiple, stacked horizons of silver-copper (zinc) mineralization in stratiform sedimentary sequences, consistent with a Stratabound copper-silver deposit model. Drilling in 2021 returned the best intercepts to date on the property. Drill hole SV21-07, returned a continuous 46-metre-long zone from 106 metres averages 48 grams per tonne silver (g/t Ag) and 0.62 per cent copper (per cent Cu): This zone includes a 17-metre section containing 94 g/t Ag and 1.34 per cent Cu. Along this zone as well, the highest silver grade of 431 grams per tonne (121 to 122 metres) and the highest copper grade of 2.57 per cent (112 to 113 metres) were picked up. Extensive soil geochemistry has indicated multiple high priority anomalies that have not been drill tested.
