EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
WHERE THERMAL FRAGMENTATION GETS REAL
Material Gold North America Inc. (MGNA) will become a hybrid mining & technology company
planned to work with a revolutionary precious metal extraction process. We are a worldwide
licensee of a proprietary technology for the extraction of high grade narrow-vein ore bodies
called ‘Thermal Fragmentation’ (aka Dragon), developed by Nippon Dragon Resources Inc, a
public Canadian mining company. The process was developed to economically extract
precious metals from narrow geological structures.
CONTEXT
Throughout the globe, proven reserves are being depleted faster than the new discoveries are
found. The total annual world gold production currently stands at 3000 tonnes and is projected
to fall as much as 50% within the next 10 years. The costs to produce ounces are increasing
and it is also quite challenging to obtain permits in many countries. Similar to old oil wells,
many old mining sites still contain significant amounts of precious metals. Since the early
days of mining, the industry has used and continues to use the drill and blast extraction
method. This method is economically used within ore bodies that contain large ore structures
(+2 metres). Most of the remaining resources in old mines are encased in ore structures of
less than 2 metres. Also, most high grade narrow vein surface deposits are not valued. It
actually takes 3000 exploration projects to produce one mine and because it takes a minimum
of 10 years to bring a new discovery into production, the coming years will be challenging to
maintain their production levels. Additionally, over the past 5 years, most of the larger mining
companies have cut their exploration budgets and the pipeline of new projects has never been
so scarce. Exploration companies are struggling to fund their drilling programmes, making
the future of mining more challenging.
OPPORTUNITY
There is an inevitable forward decline in production of precious metals in the near future. The
dwindling of reserves will force mining companies to lower their grades even lower than 1g/t,
increasing pressure on their profit margins. The mining industry is in a critical stage where
they will be forced into bankruptcy and no clear solutions are found yet. MGNA is therefore
very well positioned to address a clearly untapped market need.
MGNA’S MISSION
MGNA’s mission is to offer a more efficient, safer and greener technology that will replace the
use of heavy explosives in hard rock mining and civil engineering.
MANAGEMENT’S VISION
Our goal is to reopen closed mines and also bring undeveloped exploration projects into
production, based on a thermal decline production model. These mine sites will also host a
‘technological showcase’ for investors and potential clients and also be used for training and
development of new applications.
Page 3
The company intends to implement its R-NSR ‘Reverse Net Streaming Royalty’ model as an
innovative way to increase cash flow and position itself in a new ‘niche’ market. The first is the
numerous neglected and untapped high grade narrow vein structures in operating mines. The
second is exploration companies that possess well defined high grade narrow vein surface
structures that could be developed into small scale cash flow generating projects. In both
cases MGNA would assume 100% of all expenses and manage the complete production
process and in return, would pay NSR to the owners.
The R-NSR ‘Reverse Net Streaming Royalty’ business model was specifically developed to
allow for the exploitation of high grade narrow vein structures on undervalued ore bodies with
the thermal fragmentation mining process. Acquiring and converting undervalued mining
assets into high return cash flow generators is also important part of the company’s growth
strategy.
MGNA will establish a joint-venture with Nippon Dragon in Canada to develop and operate
pilot projects to produce gold, based on the R-NSR ‘Reverse Net Streaming Royalty’ business
model. After the pilot project phase, MGNA will expand worldwide with an ongoing support
from Nippon Dragon.
OFFERING
Thermal fragmentation is an extraction process that has multiple benefits that aid mining
companies in solving many of the challenges they are confronted with today. The process
allows to quickly extract up to 110 cm wide veins with any type of hard rock within an accuracy
of 2cm. With such precision, high grade precious and base metal veins can now be extracted
virtually without dilution. It will significantly reduce costs, completely mechanises the operation
and reduce work related accidents, lessens the impact on the environment and extends mine
life and strengthens sustainability and project acceptance. The technology can also be
implemented in the civil engineering industry for developing tunnels and other underground
developments where the use of explosives are heavy.
PRESENT STATUS
The process of the technology was tested and produced ore in countries such as Australia,
Canada, Japan, Mexico, Peru, South Africa and the USA. It has successfully fragmented all
kind of hard rock and have the performance information that confirms the readiness of the
technology.
STRATEGY
a) Penetration
From an established network we wish to expand our presence in a variety of markets
globally. As such, we will employ the cash flow generated from gold production to
customise our approach and adapt it to the specifics of the respective mines and
territories.
b) Target Selection
We intend to invest up to $5M (USD) annually to research and explore targets
worldwide to select our future projects.
Page 4
c) R&D
The focus of making contributions to Nippon Dragon’s R&D department will be to
ensure that the company maintains its competitive edge and develop new applications.
d) Vault Secured and Trading Platform
Produced gold will be stored in secure vaults, managed under a blockchain system
where information & data will be open. Our value is will be proved by the amount of
physical gold we hold. A trading platform will be launched and placed, dedicated for
users to trade gold through our platforms and other platforms of third parties where the
services are offered.
FORECAST

BACKGROUND
a) Mining has seen few changes since the invention of explosives
A hard rock mining operation is basically a business of creating openings of different sizes to
recover and/or access valued resources such as precious metals.
Most if not all the ‘easy gold/easy ore’ has been mined, the remaining high-grade ore is
situated within narrow-vein ore bodies that are difficult to mine profitably. Considering the
potential for huge cost overruns, mining companies tend to avoid these types of deposits.
Many mines are being shut down, leaving behind vast quantities of the much sought after
material. The ability to efficiently and profitably extract the mineralized ore will weigh heavily
in the capacity for several publicly trading mining companies to remain listed on their
respective stock exchanges.
Adding to this issue, the drill and blast method is the most widely used mining method and it
has been so for centuries. While other industries rapidly adapt with innovation and technology,
the mining industry seriously lags behind, which might just turn out to be the cause of their
early demise.
Innovation in the mining industry has been characterized by low R&D spending, antagonistic
supplier relationships, inward industry focus and a continuing trend towards fewer, larger,
longer-lived components. Even though the industry may have been able to continue
experiencing efficiency and productivity gains in the past, we seem to have reached the
pinnacle of current technologies. Indeed, bigger trucks and shovels represent an improvement
over smaller versions and deliver marginal cost and production benefits, but they still depend
on grossly wasteful energy conversion and human supervision at every stage.
Although technology can certainly improve operations in the mining field, its true benefits can
be realized when it is applied to a ‘’platform’’ approach that encompass all major phases of
the operation such as mine development, drilling and extracting, processing, transportation,
as well as the provision of utilities.
The depletion of known and renewable resources can no longer be extracted economically.
Experts estimate that the depletion of economical viable gold deposits around the globe will
happen in within the next 20 years.
Page 7
b) Ever lower grades due to dilution and depletion of resources
Precious metal mining is very challenging. Since the beginning of humanity, more than 70%
of all the gold and silver has been mined within the last 100 year alone. For many analysts
we have reached peak production in gold and already in decline with silver. As a good
example of how the resources are getting scarce, 1/3 of all the gold in the world has been
mined in South Africa. In the 70’s the country was producing over 1000 tonnes per year and
now that production has decreased to only 125 tonnes.
Approximately 90 million gold ounces are produced per year in the world and only 40 million
gold ounces are renewed, mostly in smaller deposits, with poor economical geology and often
located in risky political countries. The grade per tonne has fallen from 33g/t in 1890 to 8g/t
in 1980 and today stands at just under 1g/t. This trend has little place to go.

Grades are calculated on a width that agrees with the industry requirements and hides the
reality because the method employed produces too much dilution. Grades are the Holy Grail
in mining and it’s the main reason why the industry is struggling. Most of the exploration
discoveries in the past have been from surface without overburden which has made them
easier to find. Today, even if the exploration industry uses new technology, very few deposits
are discovered. The very risky nature of this business has significantly reduced the amount
of available capital needed to renew and maintain these finite resources. At this pace, fewer
mines will be in production within 20 years from now.
c) Left over resources are impressive
The world is not running out of precious metal resources, however that is not the case for
proven reserves that are only economical with drill and blast mining methods. For example,
one of the leading gold producer (name of the company undisclosed) with 64 million proven
ounces and 88 million ounces in other resource categories have plenty of gold. At a certain
gold price, with stable production costs and using drill and blast mining method, if we look at
Page 8
this company purely financially, it’s an annuity of maybe 6% for the next 20 years, then they
might have to close the company doors when they run out of proven reserves or be rescued
with much higher gold prices or produce something else. Their case is not unique as all major
producers face the same challenges. New discoveries are not going to make a difference, it
will simply extend their decline and pain.
With this perspective and their struggle to maintain small margins on their proven reserves,
the main philosophy in the industry over the last 30 years has been to mine larger deposits at
lower grades. Open-pit minded mentality has replaced underground mining for many reasons.
It’s the best way to achieve large production numbers in terms of ounces and it’s technically
easier to manage. But this business approach faces even greater challenges considering that
more and more countries, people and communities are against open-pit operations because
of issues like noise, pollution and the destruction of the environment.
The life of an open-pit operation is much shorter than underground operations and many large
open-pit operations will eventually need to go underground and will face bigger operational
risks. China is actually the biggest gold producer in the world and most of their gold mines are
open-pit and they will also need to go underground in the future, where our technology’s
demand should rise in the region.
d) Drill and blast mining method
The drill and blast mining method is the most wide spread ore extraction practice and is has
been so for centuries. The use of explosives is undoubtedly the most effective tool to exploit
large bulk-tonnage deposits and will remain so. With the use of electronic detonators and
computer modeling and assistance to increase control, large blasting has become a little more
efficient. Innovations for large scale mining operations are numerous and it explains why
open-pit is so desired.
Drill and blast mining method does not have the same appeal for underground mining
operations because the challenges are numerous and much bigger. The planning and the
development of an underground mine must often deal with dilution problems. The cut-off
grade is much more challenging in an underground operation versus an open pit because of
the dilution. The complexity of the geology such as pitch and swell, nugget effect and other
factors like seismic problems make the drill and blast mining method much more complex to
manage. Dilution is difficult to control, safety is compromised and development planning and
access to resources is problematic. That is the reason why they mine too many tonnes and
get lower grades at the mill, translating into lower returns on investment.
The mining industry has top-down thinking. Because they favor and value large tonnage
production to get as much precious metal production numbers as possible, they build bigger
mills and infrastructure to be able to reduce their costs to a minimum because of the dilution.
The fact that most of mine managers have their bonus correlated to the number of tonnes
produced keeps this vicious circle turning. For all these reasons, it is why today the only
valued deposits are those who can produce at least 100,000 ounces/year with a minimum of
1,000,000oz resource. Deposits that do not meet these trigger points have very low value and
for small surface deposits often seen in early stage exploration projects have almost no value
at all.
Page 9
e) MGNA’s solution
At MGNA, we envision a different approach in terms of the exploitation and management of
precious metal mining operations, more of a bottom-up thinking. The reason for this is
because the thermal fragmentation mining process is a useful tool for mining and transforms
the entire process. The premise is that if the technology could successfully extract a
predetermined width (vein) by fragmenting the rock it would reduce dilution and by reducing
dilution it would be possible to also significantly reduce mining costs. This process will
dislocate many well-held norms of the industry.
The process uses heat to extract ore. All hard rock has numerous micro fissures invisible to
the eye, by expanding these fissures with heat, the rock transforms into small fragments. The
fragments are recovered with the help of air pressure. We don’t burn, melt or modify the rock
with our process. A 15cm hole is enlarged to 110cm in few minutes. Over 80% of known
precious metal resources available are in mineralized structures of under 2 metres. With an
accuracy within 2cm, the process makes these remaining resources more attractive on
economic level. The thermal-effect fragments the hardest material first resulting in an oval
hole in the vein.
The thermal fragmentation is a tool to create precise openings faster, cheaper and without or
little use of explosives. Our technology reduces and controls costs in any hard rock
underground operation with any type of ore body and any dip angle. The results is that we
are able to track and retrieve 100% of the mineralized zone with very little dilution.
The thermal fragmentation process replaces:
- Room &Pillar method (flat or reef)
- Shrinkage method (manpower intensive)
- Small long hole method (dilution problems)
- Drop raising - Blind raising - Ventilation raising (primary and secondary)
- Drainage holes of 30 cm and more
- Vibration blasting control
- Perimeter blasting and stress reduction
- Drift cuts
- Ore recovery in drifting
- Ore pass/waste pass
- Emergency exits
Key benefits:
- Major dilution reduction (5:1 ratio approx.)
- Little or no wall damage caused by blast vibrations
- Significant cost savings related to ore handling and ore treatment (1-13 mm size
fragments)
- 2 person team per unit (efficiency)
- Green technology (500 tpd vs. 2,500 tpd)
Page 10
- Cash cost reduction (30%-60% approx.)
- Selective mining
- Mining permits obtained faster and easier
- Resources converted to reserves
- Extends mine life
- Safe working environment
- Strengthens Sustainability & Project Acceptance
Positive Green Impacts:
- Massive reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
- Significantly decreases environmental footprint
- Reduces the risk of environmental disasters
The thermal fragmentation mining process will appeal to all environmentalists, investors,
companies, governments, unions, employees and concerned citizens.
UNMET MARKET NEED
Comprehensive solutions to recover the remaining precious metal resources in high grade
narrow vein because of dilution control are quite rare because a consensus among geologists
and mining engineers is that drill and blast mining methods is the way to go. Our experience
confirms that the mining industry is interested in finding efficient & cost-effective methods that
are environmentally friendly to extract these remaining resources.
VISION & MISSION
MGNA’s mission is to offer a more efficient, safer and greener technology that will
replace the use of heavy explosives in hard rock mining and civil engineering. We are
here to save the industry, human lives and the environment.
The company intends to implement its R-NSR ‘Reverse Net Streaming Royalty’ model as an
innovative way to increase cash flow and positioning itself in a new ‘Niche’ market. The first
focuses on the numerous untapped high-grade narrow vein sections in current mining
Page 11
operations. The second focuses on exploration companies that own well defined high grade
narrow veins on surface. In both cases, MGNA would assume 100% of the costs and manage
the complete production process in return of a NSR.
The thermal fragmentation mining process allows micro surgical vein mining and is a
fast track way to low cost production on small undervalued ore bodies.
Acquiring and converting undervalued mining assets into high return cash flow generators is
also important part of the company’s growth strategy.
OFFERING
The Thermal Fragmentation Technology is a perfect tool to complement conventional hard
rock mining operations. Accurately and economically creating small or large openings quickly
without explosives is unique. Its numerous applications and flexibility makes it look like the
Swiss Knife of mining equipment.
a) R-NSR (REVERSE NET STREAMING ROYALTY) MODEL
In the mining world, one of the most valued business model is the one based on Royalties and
Streaming. Considering that these types of companies solely focus on resources that are
economical with drill and blast mining methods, a new ‘’niche’’ market is available to MGNA.
Our R-NSR model is a perfect complement to their business. The technology has no
competition because of our exclusive and patented mining process. We can even foresee
synergic and strategic alliances with all of the Royalty/Streaming Companies.
This business model is like a breath of fresh air for many exploration companies, closed mining
sites and it will help increase cash flow of many actual mining operations. With so many
possibilities, MGNA would select only the best projects to generate the highest cash flow.
The 5 steps of our R-NSR business model:
STEP 1 TARGET: High-grade surface deposits or underground mine amenable to our
mining process are leased (or sold) from the mine owner.
STEP 2 FUNDING: MGNA supplies the working capital and manages the ore extraction.
STEP 3 OPEX: MGNA pays for services and milling costs related to the operation.
STEP 4 EXTRACTION: The extracted ore is shipped to the mill.
STEP 5 PAYMENT: MGNA pays to the mine owner a net Royalty on ounces produced,
usually only 5% average. (*no royalty if the mine is sold to us)
b) EXPERTISE
MGNA’s team has closely worked with Nippon Dragon for many years and has developed and
accumulated an unquestionable level of expertise in fragmenting hard rock. The Company
has also developed a sizeable network of contacts internationally.
Page 12
STRATEGY
Our production operations and R-NSR model is the main part of our strategy as it will generate
significant cash flow, that will in turn, enable the company to become financially self-sufficient.
The creation of a technological showcase based on the R-NSR business model will clearly
demonstrate the impact of implementing the thermal fragmentation in low valued mining
assets that will surely lead many mining and exploration companies to rethink their operational
methods. We believe that the new generation of engineers and geologists will be excited by
the possibilities that our process has to offer to the mining industry.
a) PENETRATION STRATEGY
Considering that MGNA and Nippon Dragon together has partners in different parts of the
globe and its desire to pursue markets globally, the company needs to adhere to various types
of tactics:
1. Establish acceptance and secure endorsements from mining specialists such
as engineers and geologists
Mining engineers, are critically important to the approach and future success. Their
satisfaction has the potential to accelerate our expansion efforts.
2. Secure endorsement by various nation’s Natural Resources and Mining
Ministries
Government support will help our ability to receive acceptance in the industry of the country
we operate in. Significantly reducing environmental impacts; creating jobs; giving a safer
working environment for staffs; boosting the local economy; all of these are factors that
give us confidence in receiving great support from governments.
3. Establish trials with influential partners
In each region, an influential partner needs to be developed and kept extremely satisfied
in order for them to be viewed as a reference to increase acceptance.
4. Meet jurisdictional specifics
Each jurisdiction has its own fiduciary requirements to exist as an ongoing concern with
regulatory requirements and safety rules. It is important to understand the jurisdictional
context and to navigate within it successfully.
5. Head office interaction to set targets and help to meet targets with jurisdictional
staff
Managers and operators in each jurisdiction need to be trained and head office must take
an active role to support the operation. Partners and employees respond very positively to
having people from head office coming to visit and promote local efforts.
Page 13
6. Evaluate field staff feedback and adjust offering
Head office must have a clear picture of field staff feedback in order to make adjustments
to the offerings and maintain R&D so that MGNA and Nippon Dragon’s technology can
stay current and innovate effectively.
b) EXPANSION STRATEGY
Generally, expansion efforts centers on:
1. Promote presence and visibility
Presence and visibility includes attending and/or exhibiting at conferences and trade
shows, visiting prospect sites to update on efforts in other jurisdictions. ‘’Walking and
talking’’ is important and on continents such as Asia, it is critical. In America, presence
at mining trade show such as the PDAC, CIM and others is critical. Presence and
visibility leads to an increase in brand awareness and referral business.
2. Solicit referral business
The best promotion is to be recommended to a prospect through a trusted relationship.
3. Online presence
Our online presence will be revitalized with the creation of a new website and
reinforcement of our presence on social media. The new website will present a distinct
image of MGNA, with up-to-date information. The corporate website is the first place
a prospect will look for a visual of the company and to further investigate the offering.
It is thus strategically important for it to be current and representative of the message
we wish to disseminate. The site will also have some level of social media feed (blog)
which will give it life.
4. Demonstrations
The technological showcase, as experienced in the past is an extremely powerful
marketing tool for the company. It allows potential partners to attend a ‘live’
demonstration of the technology.
5. Video in augmented and virtual reality
The company plans to produce a series of augmented reality videos that will enable
investors and mining industry decision makers to view how the thermal fragmentation
process works. The reality of these AR/VR videos are incredible, they will immerse the
viewer into a virtual reality world that will include the design of a mine, production with
the thermal units, safety aspects and positive impacts the technology has on the
environment.
Page 14
c) RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
The primary focus within the R&D department is to assure that a competitive edge is
maintained. Hence the main priority is to increase effectiveness of the existing process
(lower fuel consumption, increased performance, etc.), the second priority is to develop
new applications for the civil engineering & construction industry.
Management is committed to delivering trouble free solutions for the technology and
assuring that that units are current in their functionality and appearance.
d) HUMAN RESOURCES STRATEGY
The company needs to invest to sustain production sales and operational efforts and
employ skilled employees to support, train and conduct follow ups for our operations.
This can also be achieved by partnering with local mining servicing companies and
contractors and mining equipment manufacturers & distributors to make sure we have all
the resources we need for our operations in each territory.
e) REGULATORY STRATEGY
Stringent mining laws and regulations are of key importance both for mine operators and
employees. The thermal units are CSA certified, it is of the upmost importance that the
company be proactive with regards to maintaining such certification.
f) VAULT SECURED & TRADING PLATFORM
Produced gold will be stored in secure vaults, managed under a blockchain system where
information & data will be open. Our value is will be proved by the amount of physical gold
we hold. A trading platform will be launched and placed, dedicated for users to trade gold
through our platforms and other platforms of third parties where the services are offered.

ACTION PLAN
a) What do we focus on and how do we do it
Produce, Expand, Excel, Innovate, Sustain
• Production: It is imperative to meet the above stated base scenario forecasts
to generate strong cash flow using our technology and increase confidence
within the investment community by expanding our experienced management
team with regards to production. Micro management of multiple project tasks
will include an engineer, geologist and production manager experienced in
mining methods within high grade narrow vein structures will allow MGNA to
maintain tight controls over costs and other risks.
• Account Management: Success with our partners is critical since it leads to
repeat and referral business. As volume grows, we need to have internal
processes to monitor performance and be proactive in resolving any issues. A
more formalized approach to each operation’s geological database is
desirable.
• Business Development: The base scenario forecast calls for growth and this
