1 DARCY BAKER, Ph.D., P.Geo. EDUCATION 2003 UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE, Newcastle, Australia Ph.D.: Economic and Structural Geology Thesis: Gold Depositional Events And Their Relation To The Tectonic Evolution Of The Pilbara Craton, Australia 1997 DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY, Halifax, Nova Scotia B.Sc. (hons): Geology (major) & Computer Sciences (minor) Thesis: Fluid Inclusions and Microstructure of Flexural-slip Bedding-concordant Veins within the Ovens Anticline, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia STRENGTHS EMPLOYMENT HISTORY 2003-Present My main area of expertise is integrating structural and economic geology for the purpose of mineral exploration targeting. Through my Ph.D. project in Western Australia, I used detailed deposit-scale observations to develop craton-scale tectonic and ore-depositional models. With Equity, I oversee project planning and execution, hiring of field crews, geological fieldwork, preparation of technical reports, interacting with clients and running a consulting company. EQUITY EXPLORATION CONSULTANTS LTD.

2 SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS Re-mapped and interpreted property geology and helped plan drilling program targeting VMS and epithermal mineralization Cassiar Gold Project, British Columbia Compiled and interpreted large historical drill and surface database for orogenic gold vein deposits and prospects and helped coordinate follow-up drilling program Boulevard Project, Yukon Managed drilling, trenching and large regional reconnaissance program targeting gold mineralization in the White Gold District Hog Ranch Project, Nevada Conducted alteration mapping and core/rc drilling of a shallow-level epithermal project at a former producing mine Yukon Base Metal Project, Yukon Co-managed a four drill, resource definition drilling program based at a remote, 50 person base camp Wernecke Project, Yukon Managed five-month, two-drill project targeting IOCG deposits. Along with a team of seven geologists, numerous new showings were discovered and several prospects were drill-tested Managed project resulting in significant drill intersections of high-sulphidation vein mineralization and breccia pipe-hosted Ag-Au-Pb-Zn mineralization Hushamu Project, British Columbia Managed integrated exploration of a 40 x 10 km porphyry Cu-Au-Mo belt centred on the Hushamu deposit Lynas Find Gold Mine, Western Australia Determined structural controls, P T conditions of gold depositional and regional significance of gold-bearing structures at this Archaean orogenic lode-gold deposit as an industrysponsored Ph.D. student working with Lynas exploration team during three field seasons Klondyke Gold Prospect, Western Australia Determined relative timing of gold mineralization and regional tectonic significance of this Archaean orogenic lode-gold deposit FIELDWORK 2013 Homestake Ridge, British Columbia Geological mapping Cassiar Gold Project, British Columbia Mapping, drilling on orogenic gold vein deposit and prospects Drilling and detailed mapping
