4. Two strategies for creating value
• Confirm and expand historic silver resources with
the goal to define 40 to 50 million ounces of Silver
and re-activate the historic Dolly Varden silver mines,
in northwestern BC
• Explore a major untested Eskay Creek-type gold &
silver target at Dolly Varden (Eskay Creek production
of 3.6 million oz. Gold, 180 million oz. Silver)
• Management team and a strategic partner are
experienced in both Eskay Creek-type exploration
and re-activating past producing mines

Notes on Historic mineral resource estimates
Comments:
a: Skerl (1964) and Mann (1974) Dolly Varden Mine staff. Remaining resource blocks are in proximity to mined out stopes
and downplunge extensions of mined out areas.
b: Thompson & Pearson (1981) Derry Michener & Booth. Minimum mining width of 5 ft. No prior mining.
c: Leigh & Thompson (1983) Derry Michener & Booth. Comprised of 18 zones. Most zones are in the hanging wall of the
glory hole and mined out stopes of the 1959 operation.
d: Thompson & Pearson (1981) Derry Michener & Booth. No prior mining. Tested by two levels of underground adits.
e: Thompson & Pearson (1981) Derry Michener & Booth. No prior mining. Tested by three levels of undergound adits.
f: Thompson & Pearson (1981) Derry Michener & Booth. No prior mining.
Note 1: This resource estimate was prepared from incomplete old plans and sections, considerable verification drilling
is required prior to placing reliance on this information.
Note 2: Historic Resource Classifications used in mineral resource estimates at the Dolly Varden deposits termed blocks
with closely spaced drilling and bulk sampling data "Proven and Probable Reserves" and made allowances for mining
operations and dilution. However, significant additional technical work is required. In the current terminology these
blocks would be termed Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources, however, for the purposes of this Technical Report
they are to be considered Geological Information only and subject to verification by drilling and sampling, prior to
reclassification.
Note 3: Historic Resource Classifications used in mineral resource estimates at the Dolly Varden deposits termed blocks
with more widely spaced drilling "Possible Reserves". In the case of Torbrit, Thompson and Pearson (1981) reduced the
confidence to Possible because the closely spaced drilling data must be subject to considerable check drilling. In the
current terminology these blocks would be termed Inferred Mineral Resources, however, for the purposes of this
Technical Report they are to be considered Geological Information only and subject to verification by drilling and
sampling, prior to reclassification.
Note 4: The Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the Historical Estimates as current Mineral
Resources or Mineral Reserves. Furthermore, the Issuer is not treating these Historical Estimates as current Mineral
Resources or Mineral Reserves.

Dolly Varden Mine – Diamond Drilling
• Oriented core - diamond drilling completed 6 drill holes for a total of 1,728 meters, during a
weather shortened season.
• Additional drill pads constructed for use next year
Red Point Surface Exploration
• Surface mapping and sampling employed to gather lithogeochemical and trace element
information on the Red Point alteration – feeder system
• Historical diamond drill core recovered for further studies
Surface Exploration & Airborne Surveys
• ZTEM + Magnetic Helicopter-borne geophysical surveys completed early October 2012
• Data delivery pending & Modeling underway on 2010 and 2012 Airborne programs
• Geological mapping and sampling in Moose Lamb, area east of Torbrit: Extensive alteration
and mineralization similar to nearby Torbrit discovered
• Geological mapping and sampling in Surprise area, west of Wolf:
a basis for further value creation 25
26. 2012 exploration program completed

Torbrit Mine Rehabilitation
• Underground access safely achieved for majority of 1025 level and upper sub-
levels
• Historical survey control re-established and transformed to 2012 survey base
• Historical underground development & stoping data assembled and 3D
modeled employing the 2012 survey base – guide to confirmation drilling
Torbrit Mine Exploration & Permitting
• Underground mapping and sampling done in selected areas
• Surface diamond drill pads constructed for use in pending definition drilling
phase
• Environmental water sampling conducted with favorable good quality water
discharge results on Torbrit underground
• Rehabilitation of 1025 level and favorable water sampling results will allow for
Permitting of underground development and diamond drilling
a basis for further value creation 26
32. 2013 Objectives – Longer Term Milestones
2013 Objectives
• Underground mapping, sampling and step out diamond drilling to expand the
historical resource base at the Torbrit deposit starting early 2013.
• Identify additional silver resources at Dolly Varden and Torbrit deposits by
surface diamond drilling down plunge of known Historic resource blocks.
• Continue to refine the Eskay target at Redpoint with geochemistry, alteration
and structural studies, and integrate VTEM & ZTEM results into a model to
guide a summer, 2013 surface diamond drill program.
Longer Term Milestones (success contingent)
• SILVER MINERAL RESOURCES: Convert historic resources and identify new
resources at all 4 deposits with a goal of identifying between 45 to 50 million
ounces of silver in NI 43-101 compliant categories.
• ECONOMIC STUDIES: Contingent on defining 45 million + ounces of silver
resources, initiate scoping & feasibility studies to determine the economic
viability of a possible 1,000 to 1,500 tonne per day mining operation.
• EXPLORE ESKAY TARGETS; Continue to develop Eskay targets towards
discovery

33. Corporate Overview
• Evaluating the re-start of historic Dolly Varden
Silver Mining Camp, BC
• Exploring a major untested Eskay Creek-type
gold and silver target
• Senior management team is experienced in both
Eskay Creek-type exploration and
the re-activation of old mines
• 2013 proposed underground and surface
diamond drill programs to confirm and expand
silver resources and define and drill Eskay-type
targets.
