The major mining company dilemma, time for a new entrant• The three largest landholders in Nevada are Barrick, Newmont, and Kinross, collectively holding 44,000 claims

(880,000 acres). On an annual basis this costs these juggernauts $9.7M to hold, collectively. Compared to revenue from operations, this amounts to a rounding error, disincentivizing exploration activities and joint venture partnerships.

• Discoveries are made through sizable drilling budgets and a bit of luck. With no deals being done by majors and minimal exploration expenditures, it is time for a nimble company to take a commanding position and structure deals that will result in the most money being spent on that ground.

Nevada King is Nevada’s fastest growing claim holder and now holds the title of 5th largest mineral holder in the State; Nevada King controls six district size projects within the Battle Mountain Trend, including the past producing, 1M ounce (43-101) Atlanta Mine.

When measured by concentration of gold ounces, the Battle Mountain Trend is the world’s most prolific producer - Pipeline, Cortez, Phoenix, McCoy/Cove, and Lone Tree are just a few of the world class mines that comprise the trend. These mines have laid the foundation for today’s mining juggernauts including Barrick and Newmont, and is the focus of Nevada King’s efforts.

The best way to make a major discovery is through the drill bit; by becoming Nevada’s most active land holder, the odds favor the next major discovery taking place on Nevada King land.

Who we are

-8-

Nevada is rated by the Frasier Institute as the Worlds #1 mining district.

Page 9: PLACING BIG BETS IN THE WORLD’S MOST PROLIFIC GOLD … · Lithium USA Inc., Uranium One Inc., Midway Gold Corp., Eurasian Minerals Inc. and Starcore International Mines Ltd.. Lewis

A goal to become the leader in Nevada

-9-

Acquire district size projects that have had significant

past work and drilling, by major operators

In close proximity to operating and

past producing gold mines

Using a proprietary claim records database to

find data rich environments, NOT staking based

on geologic theories

And avoid costly option payments, work commitments,

and NSRs by staking ground directly.

• As money comes pouring back into the sector with higher gold prices, Nevada King will be positioned to provide Venture companies with high quality, well packaged projects, ready for exploration and drilling.

• The likelihood of a discovery is directly correlated to the amount of money spent in the ground and the amount of ground a company controls.

Becoming the storefront for junior mining companies looking for their next great project.

Western Mining Corp, 1990 Drilling, Wist Claims Project

ACQUIRED Nevada King staked 183 lode claims (KVE block) in 2020

PROJECT TYPE Sediment-hosted gold exploration targets in lower plate rocks within south-central portion of Battle Mountain Trend between Cortez and Eureka.

HISTORICAL PRODUCTION

None reported

OUTLOOK • Project located in center of Battle Mountain Trend, in between the Mount Hope molybdenum deposit and Nevada Gold Mine’s Archimedes mine at Eureka.

• Favorable environment for sediment-hosted gold deposit hosted in lower plate carbonates given its proximity to McKewen Mining’s large Gold Bar project.

EVANA VANADIUM PROJECT (Eureka Co., NV)

RECENT HISTORY

North Mining, 1994 Drilling, GR Claims Project Battle Mtn. Gold Co., 1991 Drilling, Tyrone Gap Project Cyprus Exploration, 1986 Drilling, Diamond Valley Project

ACQUIRED Nevada King staked 67 lode claims (EV block) and leased 52 lode claims from Nevada-Alaska Mining Co., for a total of 119 lode claims.

PROJECT TYPE Sediment-hosted gold exploration targets in lower plate carbonates, and primary vanadium deposit hosted in upper plate Vinini Formation.

HISTORICAL PRODUCTION

None reported

OUTLOOK • The property’s location along the axis of the Battle Mountain Trend and proximity to Nevada Gold Mines’ Archimedes and Ruby Hill gold deposits argue for favorable potential in the lower plate carbonate section for a sediment hosted gold system. Widespread vanadium mineralization in upper plate siliclastic rocks points to favorable potential for a shallow primary vanadium deposit similar to Iron Point.

RECENT HISTORY

Oro Nevada Mining Co., 1996 Drilling Uranerz USA, 1994 Drilling, Hand Me Down Project Battle Mtn. Gold Co., 1993 Drilling, Hand Me Down Project

ACQUIRED Nevada King staked 14 lode claims (HMD Block) in 2016.

PROJECT TYPE Shallow, epithermal-type vein system along major range-front fault bounding the southern end of Crescent Valley.

HISTORICAL PRODUCTION

None reported

OUTLOOK • Consistently mineralized surface samples running in the 0.X g/t gold range taken along a NE-trending chalcedonic vein zone averaging around 20m wide and exposed along a 1.3km strike length.

• Nearby gold deposits include the Pipeline-Cortez complex and the high grade veins at Firecreek. Potential at depth for a Firecreek-type vein deposit, or possibly a Cortez Deep type replacement deposit.
