3.09 Moz Measured & Indicated, plus 0.96 Moz Inferred (www.marathon-gold.com)

• Only 2,600 m of diamond drilling

in 30 DDH to date (average length < 90 m)

• Recent ground and airborne mag surveys

• Road accessible, recently forested

• 100%-Altius owned (subject to royalty)

• Strong community support

• Straight forward permitting process

• Available for JV or Option

Geological Setting for Gold in Central Newfoundland

• Located within the Dunnage Tectonostratigraphic Zone

• Geology records a prolonged geological history as part of the Appalachian Orogenic Cycle

• The Rogerson Structural Corridor encompasses Marathon Gold’s Valentine Lake gold deposits

• NE-SW trending crustal-

scale fault zone

(>200 km in length)

• Trace of corridor marked

by belt of conglomerate

(i.e. Rogerson Lake

Conglomerate)

Valentine Lake Project – Newfoundland’s Next Gold Mine

• Gold mineralization lies mainly in the hanging wall to the NW dipping Valentine Lake Thrust Fault;

Neoproterozoic Valentine Lake Intrusive rocks over Silurian Rogerson Lake Conglomerates

• Predominantly 1-10 cm wide extensional to conjugate milky-white quartz with free gold, tourmaline and

pyrite

• Four primary deposits delineated to date on 20 km trend - plenty of exploration upside; combined mineral

resource of 3.09 Moz Au M&I and 0.96 Moz Au Inferred

• Amenable to open pit

mining and

conventional milling

• Estimated twelve-year

mine life based on

current resource

More Drilling = More Discoveries

• Currently, only 2600 meters of drilling on the Wilding Lake Project

• Propose 5000 meters of drilling to expand existing zones and follow-up on the Valentine Lake-type target

• For reference, over 250 kilometers of drilling on the adjacent Marathon Gold’s Valentine Lake Gold project

• Provincial Government JEA program provides up to $150,000 for drilling projects in Newfoundland
