Mission Statement

• Discover district-scale gold deposits within the prolific Carlin Trend located in north-central Nevada– The gold mining majors deplete their Nevada reserves by over

6Moz+ Au per annum – ounces not being replaced through current exploration efforts

• Utilize major mining company geological expertise, consistently proven Nevada geological models in conjunction with newly compiled data sets

• Focus on two highly prospective district-scale, multi-million ounce gold discovery opportunities– The JKR team has a proven track record of discovering world-class

gold deposits within Nevada’s most prolific gold districts

Railroad Project• District-scale, under-explored

gold project on the prolific Carlin Trend

• Property position approx 9,000 acres (14 sq mi)

• Adjacent to Newmont’s Rain and Emigrant Springs mines – 6Moz+ and growing

• Railroad has potential for composite multi-million ounce discovery– Hosts previously identified

POD deposit (~175koz Au)– High-grade underground drill

intercepts• New 43-101completed December

• High-grade gold mineralization exists predominantly in brecciated regions within the Webb Mudstone and Devils Gate limestone– As co-discovered by Dave

Mathewson in Newmont’s Rain District

• Deposits typically align along flanks of feeder structures– Feeder structures require

advanced geological and geophysical exploration techniques

• JKR will deploy model-driven advanced exploration techniques on its Railroad Project

Railroad/Rain Geological Cross Section

• Railroad’s adjoining Rain District has approximately 6M+ oz/Au and growing.

• The structural complexity of Railroad offers excellent potential to discover similar deposits to Rain.

Crescent Valley North Project (CVN)• Approximately 3400 acres (5.4

sq mi) within the Miocene Bonanza Vein Belt

• Project is in a range-margin setting between the Carlin and Battle Mountain-Eureka gold trends – Approximately 10 mi west

of Railroad Project• Large epithermal vein system

– Identified strike length of over 4 mi

– Analogous to the Sleeper, Midas and Comstock deposits

CVN Geological Cross Section • Limited previous exploration

has established bonanza-style high-grade vein characteristics

• Vein textures and composition suggest upper levels of bonanza vein system

• Bonanza-style deposits are of exceptional grade – Potential for low cost,

highly profitable mining operation
