"We thank the shareholders for their ongoing support of and interaction with CBLT's leadership team.

CBLT intends to build upon its impressive portfolio of assets in mining-friendly jurisdictions, including Copper Prince, Geneva Lake and Big Duck Lake (all in Ontario), Chilton Cobalt (Quebec), Burnt Pond in Newfoundland, and Ryliejack and Mikayla in British Columbia. The next exploration activity will take place at its wholly-owned Big Duck Lake property located 25 kilometres north of Schreiber, Ontario, host to the Coco-Estelle Gold Zone.

The Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 who was responsible for the planning, execution and monitoring of GTA's exploration program at Big Duck Lake, and who authorized GTA's January 28, 2018 press release, was Mr. Wayne Reid, P.Geo. According to its disclosure:
- GTA implemented a quality control program for the drill programs on Big Duck Lake to ensure best practice in sampling and analysis;
- GTA maintained strict quality assurance/quality control protocols including the systematic insertion of certified standard reference and blank materials into each sample batch; and
- Analyses in the January 28, 2018 release were performed by AGAT labs in Thunder Bay and Mississauga, Ontario with ISO 17025 accreditation. Samples were transported in sealed bags to AGAT and all samples were assayed using industry-standard assay techniques for gold. Gold was analyzed by a standard 30-gram fire assay with an AA and/or gravimetric finish.
Mr. Clausi and Mr. Crawford were both directors and officers of both GTA and CBLT during the exploration program that resulted in the January 28, 2018 press release and were very well informed on the program as it progressed. As a result CBLT was already very knowledgeable about Big Duck Lake and had to carry out minimal further due diligence review when CBLT acquired Big Duck Lake.
"We are very excited to get to Big Duck Lake," Mr. Clausi said. "We are currently preparing an exploration program and budget, with the goal of drilling later this year."
