About West Vault Mining

The Company owns the Hasbrouck Gold Project, a construction-ready heap-leach project in Nevada. All key permits in place, and there are no known technical, environmental, economic, or social obstacles to advancing the project to construction and production.

The Company believes that at the right point in the cycle, WVM will go from being undervalued to fully-valued, and in our shareholders interests and will only build or sell Hasbrouck when fully-valued.

Hasbrouck is a simple project with robust economics (2016 PFS* Base-case):

• 43% after-tax IRR, at US $1,275/oz gold
• US $120M after-tax Net Present Value (at a 5% discount rate), at US $1,275/oz gold
• US $47M initial capital expenditure
• 74,000 gold equivalent ounces produced per year for 8 years
• US $709 all-in sustaining cost per gold ounce (AISC**)
