8. Sand, gravel, crushed stone essential
for road building and concrete for
commercial operations
Aggregate is the world’s most mined
material next to oil. 2012 global sales
revenues were est. at $99 billion, an
increase of 41% from 2010 est. sales of
$70 billion
Annual Canadian consumption of
aggregate 10 to 15 tons per person
BC Production was 38 million tonnes in
2010 valued at C$322million
BC Production expected to considerably
exceed previous years

9. The mining of a sand and gravel deposit for construction in the Prince Rupert
area to create a significant new supply source for the industry*
All permits, licences and approvals obtained
Approx. $5.4 million of development and $3.2 million equipment capital costs
Proximity to LNG and pipeline projects – high demand for aggregate
First sales commitment received, other bids placed for supply
Cooperative agreement in place with First Nations
Processing Equipment on site and site preparation underway
Near-term production, barge loading commissioned Nov 2014
Land position increased from 51 to 174 Hectares (all in good standing)

*The Company decision to proceed with production is not based on a feasibility study of
reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability and as a result there may exist
increased uncertainty, economic and technical risk of failure associated with such
production decision.

This document may contain forward-looking statements based on assumptions and judgments of management regarding future events or
results. Forward-looking statements are projections of events, revenues, income, future economic performance or management’s plan and
objective for future operations and include, without limitation, statements with respect to the anticipated production from the Swamp Point
North Aggregate Project, the realization of mineral estimates, success of mining operations, the timing and amount of estimated future
production, title disputes or claims, environmental risks, limitations on insurance coverage, current and anticipated purchase negotiations
and arrangements, requirements for additional capital; and government regulation of mining operations. In some cases, you can identify
forward- looking statements by the use of terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”,
“predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. By their very nature forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or
achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements. Such factors, including: fluctuations in worldwide prices and demand for aggregates; changes in project
parameters as plans continue to be refined; possible variations in grade and or recovery rates; accidents, labour disputes as well as those
factors detailed from time to time in the Company's interim and annual financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of
those statements, are filed and available for review on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
