PERU PROPERTIES: GABAN AND TINKA

Overview

On September 19, 2019, the Company acquired the Gaban gold project and the Tinka iron oxide copper-gold project, both located in Peru, from Palamina Corp. ("Palamina"). In exchange, the Company issued 5,000,000 common shares during the year ended March 31, 2020 and 5,000,000 common shares during the year ended March 31, 2021. The Company will pay annual royalty payments to Palamina, commencing at $25,000 USD on September 19, 2019. The payment amounts double every two years until the Company has completed 5,000 metres ("m") of drilling or has abandoned the properties.

Palamina retains a 2% net smelter royalty ("NSR") on each property. The Company has the right to purchase 50% of each royalty by making a cash payment of $1,000,000 USD to Palamina at any time prior to the commencement of commercial production.

Location

The Gaban Property covers an area of 18,234 hectares surrounding the town of San Gaban in the Puno orogenic gold belt. San Gaban, sitting at an elevation of 550 metres above sea level, is served by excellent infrastructure; it is a four-hour drive via the Trans-Oceanic Highway to the Puerto Maldonado airport and a nearby 206 megawatt hydro-electric dam provides power to the town.

Historical Work

Palamina completed an initial aeromagnetic survey and acquired the concessions in 2018. Palamina conducted geological mapping, stream sediment sampling, and bedrock sampling that defined the coinciding aeromagnetic, stream sediment, and bedrock gold anomalies. Gold is hosted in auriferous quartz veins associated with shear zones in meta-sedimentary rocks.

During 2019 and 2020, Winshear conducted multiple field programs which focused on confirming and enlarging the Coritiri bedrock gold anomaly. By March 31, 2020, a total of 705 channel samples were collected with highlights including 15.75 gram per tonne ("g/t") Au over 1m, 5.72 g/t Au over 2.5m, and 5.7 g/t Au over 1m. Mineralized veins extend over an area of 900m by 2,000m, which is currently open especially to the south and east. The mineralized area correlates strongly with an east-southeast trending aeromagnetic anomaly.

Recent Sampling Program

During April and May 2021, the Company completed subsequent bedrock channel sampling programs. Of the 199 samples taken, 47 samples contain greater than 0.05 g/t Au. The greatest assay value returned 32.35 g/t Au and it is the highest Au assay collected from the Gaban property to date. An emerging new gold zone 1.5 kilometres northwest of the main Coritiri anomaly returned three anomalous gold values including 6.95 g/t Au. The 2021 sampling added important details about the gold-bearing shear zones at Gabana which will help to improve drill hole targeting.
