Selected Historical Drill Holes, Gold-in-Soil TSX.V: DHR11

• Historical drill holes with

intercepts greater than 5 grams-

meter.

• Discovery Harbour completed

718 detailed soils in early 2020,

merged historical soil data to

provide more comprehensive soil

database.

• North to northwest structural

controls evident in structural

mapping, soil sampling, surface

rock samples, magnetic data.

Conclusions From Discovery Harbour & Historic Work TSX.V: DHR12

Checks all boxes for a potentially large, high-

grade, preserved low sulphidation epithermal

gold deposit:

✓ Exceptionally high grade rock chip and

drilling in vein mineralization

✓ Historical shallow drilling along 6.5km of

structures indicates the presence of a

potentially large deposit

✓ Near-surface drilling results, without the

presence of any base metals, likely

intercepted the low-grade silica cap of an

epithermal gold deposit at depth

✓ Surface characteristics support interpretation

that epithermal system preserved

✓ 8 areas with 33 targets mapped, ranked and

described

Right location. Poised for Discovery.

Low Sulphidation Epithermal Gold Deposit Model TSX.V: DHR

13

Low sulphidation gold deposits can host bonanza

grades in the boiling zone, multi-million ounce mines

(e.g. Midas, Sleeper, Comstock, McLaughlin, Hishikari, Cerro

Blanco, Shovelnose)

• All previous drilling was near surface, targeting a low grade

bulk tonnage deposit;

• Average vertical depth of holes: <100m

• This is too shallow to intersect the boiling zone where gold

is deposited in greatest quantity

• The boiling zone occurs between 200+ to 500 meters

depth within the precious metals horizon

• Need to go deeper!

Never Drilled to Epithermal Gold Boiling Zone
