  • STANDBY / HOMESTAKE COMPARISON

    5MAY 2020 |MINERAL MOUNTAIN RESOURCES.COM | TSX-V: MMV

    • By comparison, within the surface expression of Homestake 9 Ledge upper tail, rock samples assay only 0.10 g/t Au to 1 g/t Au, with one higher-grade sample assaying 4.5 g/t Au.

    • However, alteration characterized by quartz veins with well-developed hydrothermal chlorite selvages and minor sulfides, is locally well developed in the 9 Ledge Upper Tail.

    • Consistent ore grade mineralization (~8 g/t Au over 5-10m widths) in 9 Ledge does not begin until 1200m down plunge (800m vertical depth), and the highest Au grades and widths in the 9 Ledge Centroid do not occur until 2000m down plunge (1000m vertical depth).

    • Standby Phase 1 drilling indicates Au increases down plunge from:

    • 2.0 g/t Au over 3.2m in ST18-001, to• 1.1 g/t Au over 6.4m in ST18-002, to• 2.8 g/t Au over 6.1m in ST18-003,

    and down-dip to • 2.12 g/t Au over 20m

  • APPENDIX 1: WHY HOMESTAKE (HMC) LEFT THE BLACK HILLS? THE ANSWER

    21MAY 2020 |MINERAL MOUNTAIN RESOURCES.COM | TSX-V: MMV

    • From1929-71 mine averaged ~500,000 oz/year and HMC did not do much exploration outside the mine.

    • During 1970-80's HMC realized the mine was finite and started a massive exploration program for the first time outside the mine and outside the Homestake District.

    • Regional program was conducted from 1986-93, with 8 major projects conducted in parallel, of which Standby was one part.

    • In 1988, Au ~$300/oz., HMC was mining to 8000 ft. depth at cash costs of ~$240/oz.

    • In 1988 the DBM-1 gold discovery two miles north of the Homestake mine caused the Company to focus exploration assets to that area, and consequently the Standby Project was shut down by HMC, despite Rick Bachman’s (HMC’s Exploration Manager at the time) recommendation that it continue.

    • In 1992 HMC acquired International Corona (Hemlo and Eskay Creek), and in 1993 with gold still at $300/oz, Homestake Mining Company was reorganized and shut down all other exploration world-wide to focus on the International Corona acquisition.

  • NEW UNDERSTANDING OF REGIONAL GOLD POTENTIAL• Black Hills Terrane (BHT) contains the largest Paleoproterozoic orogenic

    gold province in North America, including the supergiant >62oz Au Homestake Deposit.

    • Study by J. Hrnicir and K. Karlstrom (2018) presents tectonic synthesis of Precambrian evolution of the BHT based on geochronology of detrital zircons within many metasedimentary units and igneous zircons within twelve granitoids.

    • Numerous tectonic similarities with the Altaids in Asia and Great Basin sedimentary-hosted gold provinces in the USA argue the BHT represents the earliest known passive margin-hosted gold province.

    • Tectonic readjustments after 1.77 Ga produced environment favorable for development of orogenic gold deposits in the BHT, including a switch from dextral to sinistral transpression that led to differential block uplift, synorogenic clastic basin deposition, dilation of the mantle-tapping transverse basement faults, large-scale hydrothermal fluid release and development of supergiant orogenic gold deposits in the older passive margin sedimentary rocks.
