Dev Randhawa, Chairman and CEO for Big Wind Capital, commented

"The price of gold has risen more than 25% in 2016 and many experts suggest that the underlying fundamentals will continue to propel the price of gold higher. This is an exciting time to be involved in the gold sector, and our recent acquisition of high- quality projects in Saskatchewan's historic La Ronge Gold Belt mining district comes at the right time for the company. Saskatchewan is recognized globally as a top tier mining district which for the 2nd consecutive year, the Fraser Institute ranks as the top jurisdiction in Canada and 2nd overall in the world. The La Ronge Gold Belt is known for hosting high-grade gold deposits and is home to 5 former producing mines. With our strong well positioned portfolio, the potential for new significant discoveries is high."

Background Information

Gold deposits in Saskatchewan are found mainly in the Early Proterozoic volcanoplutonic regimes of the La Ronge and Flin Flon domains. Six of the project areas are located within the La Ronge Gold Belt and a 7th project is located in the Flin Flon Greenstone Belt located to the south-east (see Table 1).

The La Ronge Gold Belt hosts 13 known gold deposits including 5 former producing gold mines. Gold mineralization in the La Ronge Gold Belt is mostly structurally controlled, quartz-vein type and characteristically high-grade, often with average grades >10 g/t Au.

• Hilda Pond lies north and contiguous with claims owned by Kristo Gold (private company). The Kristo Gold claims host the past producing Anglo-Rouyn Cu-Zn-Au Mine.
• The Kidney Lake and McKenzie Lake properties are contiguous to the north and south of a large land package belonging to Golden Band Resources encompassing the past producing Komis & Star Lake deposits, and the EP, Golden Heart, Memorial, Tower East, Kaslo, Birch Crossing, Jojay, Alimak & Decade gold deposits.
• The McLennan Lake property lies 7km south of the past producing Star Lake Au mine. Access is excellent as the property straddles Highway 102 from La Ronge
• The Slaney Lake property is contiguous on the north with a Golden Band land package that hosts the Bingo Gold Deposit (Roy Lloyd Mine)
• The Miles Lake is contiguous to the west with a Golden band land package that encompasses the past producing Contact Lake Gold

The Flin Flon Greenstone Belt is located approximately 120km to the south-east of the La Ronge Gold Belt. This mining district has been host to 25 operating mines since 1916. Most of the mines are copper-zinc, although at least 3 mines produced principally gold and silver.

• The Standing Lake property has several historic copper showings, the most significant being 1.25% Cu over 0.3m from drill core. A belt of Cu-Zn-Au-Ag showings trend north-west from Flin Flon through the property. Access is excellent via provincial highway 106 that cuts the south edge of the claim.
