Altan Nar Gold Project
The Next Giant Gold Deposit of the Tian Shan?
Early-In Opportunity
 A new gold district discovery
 Early in exploration cycle
 Period of low valuations in sector
Ownership
 100% interest in licence
High-Grade & Near
Surface
 Evidence of bonanza grades that have
potential to improve pit economics
Very Large System
 5.5 km x 1.5 km target area
 Potential for > 1.5 Moz
Significant Upside Potential
Location & Infrastructure
 Limited drilling to date with all targets
open for expansion
 Region receiving rapid rail & road
upgrades
 Next door to world’s largest gold
production & consumption region
