Operational Improvements

Safety/COVID 19
Further to the Company's most recent update regarding the COVID-19 Virus, the Company reports no known or suspected cases of infection at the Moss Mine nor at its office in Vancouver. Production at the Moss Mine continues uninterrupted and the Company will continue to meet or exceed the recommendations and guidelines of public health authorities at both state and federal levels.

Mine and Crusher Operations
Mine operations continue to strengthen with the successful pioneering of the east pit and ore now being delivered to the crusher from that area. Pioneering of the west pit started in June, with first production from the area scheduled for late 2020. The East, Center and West pits will be unified in order to optimize mining operations, and to drive down costs.

Crusher operations continue to exceed expectations with numerous daily production records. Tests are well underway to shift crush size from 1/4" to 3/8", and if implemented, there will be a reduction in operating costs and an increase in throughput.

Leach Pad Operations
The second leach pad, which was commissioned in February is operating very well and there have been numerous daily gold production records along with 20 days of greater than 125 ounces of gold produced per day in June, and an average of 112 ounces of gold produced per day for the quarter ending June 30.

The prefeasibility engineering for heap leach pad 3 has been started to allow for the timely commissioning of that pad, which will facilitate consistent and high gold production through the next few years.

Exploration Update
The 2020 infill and exploration drill program is well underway with two rigs on site, with an initial focus on the Gold Bridge Zone between the center and west pits, and the Ruth gold vein that sits parallel to the Moss vein. Management will be providing updates over the following quarters.

Powerline
Construction of the 6.9-mile electrical grid powerline system is 30% complete, and the mine has received the transformer and 60% of the poles have been erected. Management continues to expect the system to be commissioned in calendar Q3 2020 resulting in decommissioning of numerous diesel generators, and a reduction in electrical costs from approximately 0.30/Kwh down to 0.08/Kwh.

Fiscal year 2021
Management has several life of mine projects that will be advanced over the next few quarters including: in-pit and exploration drilling, west pit pioneering and development, design and construction of heap leach pad 3, and construction of the new powerline. These projects will drive the long-term competitiveness of the Moss Mine.

Management has provided an updated Investor powerpoint on its website: NEE Presentation July 14, 2020
