ROBERTSON’S TIMELY DEVELOPMENT
Gold at highest levels in the last 8 years and demand is stable, and production is in decline
Robertson was noted by NGM as containing "significant indicated and inferred mineral resources not currently in reserves" and is a "growth project from which further reserve growth can be expected in the near future upon completion of feasibility studies.“ (Barrick’s February 12, 2020 News Release)
Coral’s sliding scale royalty has the potential to be a tremendous asset which could increase shareholder value once the Feasibility Study is complete and the economic value is fully understood
Provides NGM the option of increasing production and/or extending the life of its operation
Low-cost mines becoming harder to find
NGM Q4 2019 WORK AT ROBERTSON
Progressing with updating the geological model
1,675 metres of geotechnical drilling completed in Q4
Preparing mine plans, confirming metallurgical assumptions, and carrying out baseline study work
Barrick recently mentioned a mineral resource at Robertson in their 2019 4th quarter report, details not yet public, however they indicate that Robertson property is now considered part of the mineral resource base for the Cortez Mine Complex

✓ Deep potential at Robertson:FIND THE DEEPER SOURCE OF THE SURFACE GOLD
✓ Locate a deep, rich “feeder” deposit – mining the shallow resource at Robertson secondary
✓ With massive Cortez infrastructure adjoining Robertson, NGM’s economics are favourable

POTENTIAL “MEIKLE-STYLE” DISCOVERY AT ROBERTSON
NGM geologists have stated they’re seeking a “Meikle-style” discovery at Robertson.
The Meikle deposit was discovered in September 1989 when the tenth deep drill hole EX-89-4 intersected 540 ft of 0.41 oz/st Au from 1,305 ft to 1,845 ft.1
This hole was targeted at an inferred structural intersection associated with induced polarization (IP) geophysical and soil geochemistry anomalies.
1 Goldstrike Technical Report – page 6-2
From 2007 to 2016, the Meikle underground mine (Meikle, North Post, Betze and Banshee areas) produced over 4m oz Au at an average grade of .295 oz/ton

Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred resources as an Indicated or Measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to the Indicated or Measured mineral resource category.
