CAJUEIRO : RESOURCE + UPSIDE 53,136 ha located 95 km north of the city of Alta

Floresta

Historic placer gold workings produced +250,000 oz Au. Soil sampling has identified 10 gold anomalies of which 5 have been partially drill tested

Only 11,292 metres of diamond drilling have identified independently estimated NI 43-101 compliant resource on parts of 4 of the drill target areas of 0.47Moz @ 0.90 g/t Au (0.3g/t cut-off)

Significant drill results include: 31m @ 2.37 g/t Au 30m @ 1.48 g/t Au 46m @ 1.05 g/t Au 38m @ 1.28 g/t Au 39m @ 1.10 g/t Au

Shows potential to identify higher grade bulk-mineable zones. 50% of anomaly areas still to be drill tested.

GARLAND NICKEL PROJECT in LABRADOR, CANADA 100% owned by Equitas Located near one of the

most prolific discoveries in Canadian history, the Voisey’s Bay nickel mine.

Nickel sulphide deposits are known to occur in clusters, such as the Thompson and Sudbury districts. Voisey’s Bay stands alone so far.

VTEM technique provides exciting new depth slice of exploration information critical to defining quality drill targets

THE GARLAND NEXT STEPS O and P are significant

untested conductors, with a geochemical anomaly of the target metals

Targets in the correct geotectonic framework

Anomaly Q has the size, conductivity and depth to fit with our exploration model

GP15-005 intersected disseminated sulphides, possibly indicative of transport from an underlying chamber. Encouragement for possible economic deposit associated with this mineralization

Follow up exploration program planned: Geophysics to determine the size and nature of the Teck anomaly where GP15-005 was drilled Second pass geophysics on anomaly Q Additional drilling to fully assess remaining targets
