     1. The statistical analysis, geological modeling, and mineral resource estimation were performed under the supervision of Mr. Steven J. Ristorcelli, C.P.G. and Principal Geologist for Mine Development Associates, Inc. (“MDA”) in Reno Nevada (Pinion and Jasperoid Wash deposits), Mr. Michael Lindholm C.P.G. Senior Geologist of MDA (Dark Star deposit), and Mr. Michael Dufresne M.Sc., P.Geol. of APEX Geoscience Ltd. in Edmonton, Alberta (North Bullion deposits). 
     2. These estimated mineral resources were classified in order of increasing geological and quantitative confidence into inferred, indicated, and measured mineral resource categories to be in accordance with the “CIM Definition Standards - For Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves” (2014) and therefore Canadian National Instrument 43-101.
