1 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") and NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Medgold Tlamino Project Licences, Serbia, dated March 11, 2021, www.sedarplus.ca (the "Report"). The effective date of the resource estimate is January 7, 2021. Authors of the Report are: Mr. Richard Siddle, MAIG, of Addison Mining Services Ltd for Mineral Resources; Dr. Mathew Randall, FIMMM, of Axe Valley Mining Consultants Ltd for Mining; Mr. Ian Jackson, FIMMM, of Bara Consulting for Mineral Processing, and Dr. Andrew Bamber, MCIM, of Bara Consulting Ltd for Economic Analysis. The PEA is preliminary in nature, and it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be characterized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realised.
