• Union Reefs Mill has 1.2Mt of excess capacity to treat additional ore and is located 67km from Cosmo and 144km from Maud Creek
The PEA is preliminary in nature and is based on a number of assumptions that may be changed in the future as additional information becomes available. The PEA includes inferred mineral resources that are
considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.
The Maud Creek Gold Project PEA Technical Report is available on Sedar and www.newmarketgoldinc.com and was compiled by Peter Fairfield, Principal Consultant (Project Evaluation), BEng (Mining), FAusIMM
CP (Mining) of SRK Consulting (Australasia) Pty Ltd. By virtue of his education, membership to a recognized professional association and relevant work experience, Peter Fairfield is an independent "Qualified
Person" as such term is defined in NI 43-101. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. For full details please see press release dated May 16, 2016.
