Northern Vertex Sets Further Production Record Provides Operations and Exploration Update at Moss Gold Mine, Arizona

Air Quality - Recently, the mandated Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) stack emissions tests were conducted by a DEQ approved contractor on the crusher and Merrill Crowe facilities. Emissions were between 2% - 6% of allowable limits in certain areas of the crusher and 1% of allowable limits in the refinery.

Optimizations & Cost Control.  The in-heap trenching program discussed above consisted of taking multiple samples from the heap leach pad down to a depth of 20 feet.  This program indicated excellent permeability (indicating faster gold leach cycle) and gold recoveries (at or above feasibility study estimates) from our heap leach pad.  On the back of this work, we are investigating the opportunity to adjust the crush size delivered to the pad to increase from 80% less than 1/4" to 80% less than 3/8".  Preliminary test-work has returned positive and subject to final test-work, this would provide significant cost savings.  As well, operating improvements at our Merrill Crowe facility indicate we can reduce zinc consumables by a significant amount.  Management continues to identify areas for additional cost savings which will further widen our operating margins in the strong gold price environment.

Permitting – Phase III Mine Plan of Operations ("MPO").  The MPO (Final) was submitted to the Kingman Field Office (KFO) of the BLM in the first week of July 2019.  Approval of the MPO (Final) will allow the Company to expand its current operation (which is on patented ground) to the surrounding BLM ground, which is expected to extend mine-life by approximately 5 years.  The BLM conducted a public open house scoping meeting on August 28^th, 2019 in Bullhead City which was a success.  Scoping is the process by which the BLM solicits input on issues, impacts, and potential alternatives to be addressed in the environmental analysis document for the proposed expansion of the Moss Mine onto public lands. There has been a high level of communication between the Company's Environmental Consultants and the BLM Resource Specialists from both the Kingman and Lake Havasu Field Offices to address, explain and propose mitigation opportunities regarding concerns about potential impacts of the Company's proposed expansion.  The Company expects to receive approval for the Phase III MPO in the first calendar quarter of 2020.
