About Signature The Lingman
Lake gold property consists of 1,434 staked claims, four free hold
full patented claims and 14 mineral rights patented claims totaling
approximately 27,113 hectares. The property hosts an historical
estimate of 234,684 oz of gold* (1,063,904 tonnes grading 6.86 g/t
with 2.73 g/t cut-off) and includes what has historically been
referred to as the Lingman Lake Gold Mine, an underground
substructure consisting of a 126.5-meter shaft, and 3-levels at
46-meters, 84-meters and 122-meters depths.
*This historical resource estimate is based on
prior data and reports obtained and prepared by previous operators,
and information provided by governmental authorities. A Qualified
Person has not done sufficient work to verify the classification of
the mineral resource estimates in accordance with current CIM
categories. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as
a current NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate. Establishing a
current mineral resource estimate on the Lingman Lake deposit will
require further evaluation, which the Company and its consultants
intend to complete in due course. Additional information regarding
historical resource estimates is available in the technical report
entitled, "Technical Report on the Lingman Lake Gold Property"
dated January 31, 2020, prepared by John M. Siriunas, P.Eng. and
Walter Hanych, P.Geo., available on the Company's SEDAR profile at
