Asset Overview – Goldlund⁽¹⁾

The Goliath Gold Complex currently refers to a prospective 65km trend in a 330km² land package comprised of three distinct mines/projects/deposits located within the Wabigoon-Greenstone belt in the Dryden-Sioux Lookout Area of northwestern Ontario, Canada.

The Goliath Gold Project (Mine + Mill) consists of the construction, operation, decommissioning, and remediation of an open-pit and underground gold mine and associated milling infrastructure including a tailings storage facility located 20km east of the City of Dryden, Ontario. The Goliath Gold Project received Federal Environmental Assessment Approval in 2019 with the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Canada concluding that the Goliath Gold Project was unlikely to result in significant adverse effects to the environment. Treasury has commenced the process of receiving additional permits and approvals to construct and operate the Goliath Gold Project (Mine + Mill).

The GGC consists of three primary deposits, Goliath, Goldlund and Miller. The proposed development pathway envisaged in the GGC 2021 Preliminary Economic Assessment was a “hub & spoke” development strategy where a central mill would be developed at the Goliath Project, with ore mined across all three deposits and centrally processed at the Goliath mill.

The Goldlund deposit was the primary focus of Treasury’s 2021 drill campaign, with 68% of the total holes drilled for the April 2022 resource update. The updated resource for Goldlund is based on a total of 2,197 drill holes measuring 240,601 metres, incorporating 120 drill holes and 21,474 metres from the 2021 drilling campaign. The 2021 drilling campaign targeted the conversion of the Inferred Mineral Resource, much of which was halo mineralization at lower grades located within the open pit. In addition, higher-grade mineralization was targeted at depth, increasing the confidence and depth of the Mineral Resource open pit. At Goldlund, 100,000 ounces of gold were converted to Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources through the 2021 drill campaign, and an additional 392,500 ounces of gold were added to the Inferred Mineral Resource category.

The Goldlund Royalty was created pursuant to a royalty agreement dated November 12, 2003 and covers nine patented claims and entitles Vox to a 1.0% NSR on any ore mined >50m depth beneath the historical Goldlund shaft collar. A historical partial buyback right to purchase 0.5% of the NSR for C$500,000 expired three years from the date of the royalty agreement. Vox management estimates that the royalty claims cover the majority of the Goldlund mineralized wireframes contained in the March 2021 PEA pit designs as shown in Figure 2.

Goldlund Resource Estimate as at 17 January 2022⁽¹⁾

The following resource estimate outlined in Table 1 was updated by Treasury on 14 April 2022 as part of a consolidated GGC resource update that is based on a total of 3,185 drill holes measuring 540,329 metres for the Goliath, Goldlund and Miller deposits, incorporating 176 new drill holes and 41,072 metres since the mineral resource estimate set out in the March 2021 PEA of the GGC. This mineral resource estimate forms the basis for the pre-feasibility study on the project, which Treasury expects to complete in the second half of 2022.

Asset Overview – Beschefer⁽²⁾

The Beschefer Project covers approximately 962 acres and is located in the Northern Abitibi Greenstone Belt, 14 km east of the past-producing polymetallic Selbaie Mine, 45 km northeast of the Casa Berardi Mine and 30 km from Wallbridge’s Fenelon Gold property. Historically, the area has mainly been explored for volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits similar to the Matagami camp and the Selbaie Mine.

Gold mineralization was discovered in the B-14 Zone in 1995 by Billiton Canada Inc. and the Beschefer Project saw very limited exploration before the involvement by Excellon in 2011, which completed approximately 17,000 metres of drilling up to 2013. There has been limited exploration at Beschefer since 2013 with the exception of 1,600 meters drilled by Wallbridge in 2018.

Beschefer is the subject of a four-year option agreement dated on or around March 2, 2021 for Goldseek to acquire the Beschefer Property from Wallbridge for a C$3M work commitment and issuance of 4 million Goldseek shares. Goldseek management are currently focussed on 3D modelling of historical gold zones, completion of a 4,000m – 9,000m drilling program for 2022 and preparation of a maiden resource estimate, expected in the second half of 2022.

Historical drilling highlights at the Beschefer project include:

• 55.63 g/t gold over 5.57 metres in hole BE13-038 (including 224 g/t over 1.23m)
• 13.07 g/t gold over 8.75 metres in hole B12-014 (including 58.5 g/t over 1.5m)
• 3.56 g/t gold over 28.4 metres in hole B14-006 (including 7.42 g/t over 5.5m)
• 10.28 g/t gold over 8.00 metres in hole B14-35 (including 86.74 g/t over 0.60m)

The Beschefer royalty is an effective 30% interest in a historical 2.0% NSR royalty that has an unexercised partial 1.0% NSR buyback for C$1.0M (on a 100% basis).

Asset Overview – Torogold

The Torogold Royalty was created pursuant to the Denton and Thorneloe Townships Property Sale and Purchase Agreement between Homestake Canada Inc. Torogold Resources Inc. and Band-Ore Resources Limited dated March 1, 1994. Both Homestake and Torogold Resources were each issued a 1.5% NSR royalty (3.0% NSR in aggregate), subject to a partial buyback right for each royalty of 0.5% NSR for C$1M that is currently unexercised.

The Homestake portion of the royalty rights were subsequently acquired by Royal Gold Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD) and the Torogold Royalty rights were subsequently assigned from Torogold Resources to an individual prospector residing in Canada, the latter of which is the subject of the Transaction with Vox. The historical Torogold royalty area covers the Gold River gold deposit, which is further described in the Technical Report on the Update of Mineral Resource Estimate for the Gold River Property, Thorneloe Township, Timmins Ontario, Canada with an effective date of January 17, 2012, which can be found at this link here.

Further confirmatory due diligence on the Torogold royalty rights is ongoing, and for this reason, only a nominal purchase price has been ascribed to the royalty by Vox and the seller of the royalty. The rights purported to be assigned by the royalty seller to Vox are still subject of an ongoing review and may require supplemental information.  Vox is in the process of obtaining additional information and/or documentation, which will be the primary focus of further due diligence and discovery work carried out by the Company.

Transaction Closing

The Transaction is subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange, which the Company expects will be delivered prior to the end of June 2022.
