In 2015 Agnico tested a portion of this anomaly intersecting 6.41g/t gold over the last 1.5meters of drill core (Hole GHD ) AUU-TSX-V 12

17 Taviche District A Rich Mining Legacy and Mexico s First Silver District The district is well documented as one of the most prolific mining areas in Mexico for silver and gold during the late 1800s and early 1900s An extensive historic underground silver and gold mining history is recorded on the property - over 60 mines are on record. The mining district extends over an area of 500 sq km. Most mines reached only shallow depths AUU-TSX-V 17

21 Identified Resource Silver/Gold INFERRED RESOURCE A NI report provides estimates of an inferred silver resource of 865,000 tonnes at a grade of 119 g/t (3.3 million ounces of contained silver) and an inferred gold resource of 3.3 million tonnes at a grade of 0.51 g/t (54,000 ounces of contained gold). MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL** Additionally, the "Mineral Potential" located near or within its seven kilometre-long by 300 metre-wide Higo Blanco jasperoid-altered area on the East Taviche and Alma Delia concessions was estimated to be between 6.0 million and up to 29.0 million ounces of silver (2 to 6 million tonnes at a grade of 100 to 150 g/t) and between 108,000 and up to 450,000 ounces of gold (10 to 20 million tonnes at a grade of 0.4 to 0.7 g/t. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to date to define this as a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource **"Taviche Project, Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Higo Blanco Project" by Geoffrey S.

23 Gold/Silver Organic Chemistry Redox Cells Analysed by ActLabs Redox Zone 3 Redox Zone 2 Redox Zone 1 Interpretation The four major drill targets labelled Redox Zones and marked with a star ( ) are the highest priority drill targets which may be considered the potential source of the current gold and silver inferred resource on the property. The 4 light blue oval areas (defined as secondary drill targets) represent the most confident locations of the vertical projection of the shallowest gold and/or silver mineralization in depth from surface.
