Historical Estimate — Regulatory Caution
*This historical estimate was disclosed in "Report on the Huicicila (Miravalles Mine) Gold Property Near Compostela, Nayarit, Mexico for Pan American Gold Corp., by L.E. Finer and E.K. Schmidt dated 2007 Apr. 05. The historical estimate is relevant as it confirms significant high-grade gold in the Miravalles Vein and is believed to be reliable as it was completed by competent geologists to the standards of the day. The key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to prepare the historical estimate were not provided. The historical estimate would appear to be similar to an indicated resource. The author is not aware of any more recent estimates. Drilling would need to be completed to move the historic estimate to current resources. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources and Miravalles Gold is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
