The Woodjam Property

The Woodjam property is a copper-gold porphyry system that included both calc alkaline and alkaline styles of mineralisation. It is located in south central British Columba approximately 50 kilometers east of the community of Williams Lake encompassing an area of approximately 64,000 hectares (160,000 acres). Between 2009 and 2013 Gold Fields completed 281 diamond drill holes at Woodjam totalling 95,309 meters and completed and published NI43-101 compliant inferred resources for the Southeast Zone, Deerhorn Zone and Takom Zone as follows:

Southeast Zone, 227.5 million tonnes grading 0.31% copper and 0.05 g/t gold.

Deerhorn Zone, 32.8 million tonnes grading 0.22% copper and 0.49 g/t gold.

Takom Zone, 8.3 million tonnes grading 0.22% copper and 0.26 g/t gold.

These inferred resources contain 1.8 billion pounds of copper and 925,000 ounces of gold. An internal (Gold Field) resource was also calculated for the Megabuck Zone but was not published because it was not produced in a NI43-101 compliant format.

Exemplary holes at Woodjam include:

hole 08-84(Southeast Zone), with 201 meters grading 1.01% copper and 0.44 g/t gold including 51m grading 1.61% copper and 0.84g/t gold.

hole 12-48 (Deerhorn Zone) , with 289 meters grading 0.24% copper and 1.33 g/t gold including 56 meters grading 0.40% copper and 2.71 g/t gold.

hole 04-32 (Megabuck Zone), with 379 meters grading 0.12% copper and 0.81 g/t gold.

Several international mining companies are currently reviewing the Woodjam project for which there are currently four CA's (confidentiality agreements) in effect. Management of the Company believes there are significant opportunities for expansion of the resource base laterally, at depth and by infilling known zones. Additionally, there are untested exploration targets ready for potential discovery. The Company intends, subject to financing, to aggressively advance further exploration of the Woodjam Project.

Adoption of a 10% rolling Stock Option Plan

The Company has elected to adopt a 10% "rolling" stock option plan (the "New Stock Option Plan"), to replace its existing "fixed number" stock option plan.

The adoption of the New Stock Option Plan is subject to the Company receiving shareholder approval at its next annual general meeting, to be held on November 7, 2018, as well as acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
