performance problems, natural disasters or pandemics in the areas where it operates; increasingly stringent environmental regulations and other permitting restrictions or
maintaining title or other factors related to exploring of its properties, such as the availability of essential supplies and services; factors beyond the capacity of the Company to
anticipate and control, such as the marketability of mineral products produced from the Company’s properties; uncertainty as to whether the acquisition of assets and new mineral
property interests including the Nugget Pond gold circuit will be completed in the manner currently contemplated by the parties; uncertainty as to whether mineral resources will
ever be converted into mineral reserves once economic considerations are applied; uncertainty as to whether inferred mineral resources will be converted to the measured and
indicated categories through further drilling, or into mineral reserves, once economic considerations are applied; government regulations relating to health, safety and the
environment, and the scale and scope of royalties and taxes on production; and the availability of experienced contractors and professional staff to perform work in a competitive
environment and the resulting adverse impact on costs and performance and other risks and uncertainties, including those described in each MD&A of financial condition and
results of operations. In addition, forward-looking information is based on various assumptions including, without limitation, assumptions associated with exploration results and
costs and the availability of materials and skilled labour. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers are advised not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information.

Narrow Vein Mining – Methodology
Hammerdown can be mined with a narrow vein, open pit method. Safe and efficient extraction of these veins while limiting dilution to
produce a high grade feed product for final mineral processing is key to the operation’s success;

• Over 100 vertical veins, consistent along strike and depth

• 3D model of historic UG workings, utilizing probe drilling ahead of the mining


face to confirm locations for safety.

• 5 metre benches – 1200 tpd run of mine production rate

• Electronic blasting, emulsion explosives, small blasts, dry mining conditions in


excellent quality rock mass

• Smaller sized equipment in ore equipped with GPS survey dig control systems
with 3D UG model

• Day shift mining of ore with grade control geologists in the field

• Local assay lab in Springdale, located 15 min from the project

• 50,000 metres of diamond drill grade control on a spacing of 15m x 10m


spacing. 3,500 additional gold ounces needed to pay for itself.

• 2,500 tpd ore sorting plant capacity, designed to scan ROM feed for sulphides
and concentrate using X rays and compressed air

MARITIME RESOURCES 12
Next Steps – Project Development and Exploration
Maritime has the potential start generating cash flow from the combination of several advanced gold assets
and existing, permitted processing infrastructure. These assets are largely de-risked, allowing for low-
capital cost, staged project development in the top tier jurisdiction of Newfoundland & Labrador.

Notes:
• Mineral Reserve Estimate completed by Tysen Hantelmann of JDS Energy & Mining (“JDS”), an independent QP as defined by NI 43-101.
• Effective date; August 15, 2022. All Mineral Reserves have been estimated in accordance with CIM definitions required under NI 43-101.
• Mineral Reserves are estimated at a gold cut-off of 0.73 g/t for Veins and 1.06 g/t for Wisteria Zone based on: gold price of US$1,650/oz; exchange rate of $0.77 US$:C$; combined
transport, treatment, payables and royalties of US$25/oz; an overall metallurgical recovery (including ore sorting) of 90.25% for Veins and 85.5% for Wisteria; and an overall processing
operating cost of C$45/t ore mined for Veins and C$62/t ore mined for Wisteria.
• The final FS pit design contains an additional 94 kt of Inferred resources above the economic cut-off grade at an average grade of 1.62 g/t Au. Inferred Mineral Resources are
considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that
any part of the Inferred Resources could be converted into Mineral Reserves.
• Tonnages are rounded to the nearest 1,000 t, gold grades are rounded to two decimal places. Tonnage and grade measurements are in metric units; contained gold is reported as
thousands of troy ounces.

Notes:
1. The effective date of the 2022 MRE is May 10, 2022.
2. The independent and qualified persons for the 2022 MRE are Vincent Nadeau-Benoit, P. Geo., Martin Perron, P. Eng. and Simon Boudreau, P.Eng. all from InnovExplo Inc.
3. The 2022 MRE follows the CIM Standards.
4. These mineral resources are not mineral reserves, as they do not have demonstrated economic viability. The results are presented undiluted and are considered to have reasonable prospects of economic
viability.
5. The estimate encompasses 19 mineralized lenses in two (2) zones (Zone 3 and Zone 4) using the grade of the adjacent material when assayed or a value of zero when not assayed. Dilution zones
encompassing all mineralized zones were created to better reflect the internal dilution within the constraining shapes.
6. High-grade capping supported by statistical analysis was done on raw assay data before compositing and established on a per-zone basis varying from 25 to 50 gpt Au for mineralized zones and 5 to 10 gpt
Au for the dilution zones. Composites (1.5-m) were calculated within the zones using the grade of the adjacent material when assayed or a value of zero when not assayed.
7. The estimate was completed using a sub-block model in Leapfrog Edge 2021.2.4. A 5m x 5m x 5m parent block size was used.
8. Grade interpolation was obtained by Inverse Distance Squared (ID2 )using hard boundaries. Dynamic anisotropy was used for the interpolation of all mineralized lenses.
9. A density value of 2.826 g/cm3 was assigned all mineralized zones.
10. The mineral resource estimate is classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred. The Inferred category is defined with a minimum of two (2) drill holes within the areas where the drill spacing is less than 50
m and shows reasonable geological and grade continuity. The Indicated mineral resource category is defined with a minimum of three (3) drill holes within the areas where the drill spacing is less than 25 m
and shows reasonable geological and grade continuity. Measured mineral resources were classified as Mineral Resources present within 10 m of an underground opening within a mineralized zone.
Clipping boundaries were used to refine classification based on those criteria.
11. The 2022 MRE is locally constrained within Deswik Stope Optimizer shapes using a minimal mining width of 1.8 m for LH and 3.6 m for C&F. It is reported at a rounded cut-off grade of 2.01 gpt Au using the
LH method, and 2.60 gpt Au, using the C&F method. The cut-off grades were calculated using the following parameters: mining cost = C$60/t to C$100.00/t; transport to process cost = C$15.00/t;
processing cost = C$45.00/t; G&A = C$15.00/t; refining costs = C$5.00/oz; selling costs = C$22.00/oz; gold price = US$1,700.00/oz; USD:CAD exchange rate = 1.30; and mill recovery = 96.0%. The cut-off
grades should be re-evaluated in light of future prevailing market conditions (metal prices, exchange rates, mining costs etc.).
12. The number of metric tonnes was rounded to the nearest hundred, following the recommendations in NI 43-101 and any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects. The metal contents are
presented in troy ounces (tonnes x grade / 31.10348) rounded to the nearest hundred.
13. The independent and qualified persons for the 2022 MRE are not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, political, title-related, taxation, socio-political, or marketing issues that could materially
affect the Mineral Resource Estimate. MARITIME RESOURCES 25
