About the Burnt Hill project
All scientific and technical information relating to the Burnt Hill project, including information pertaining to the historical mineral resource estimate (the historical MRE), contained in this news release is derived from the technical report dated Aug. 1, 2013, titled "Deposit Modeling & NI 43-101 Resource Estimate Burnt Hill Tungsten-Molybdenum-Tin Property Stanley Parish, York County, New Brunswick" prepared by Southampton Associates Inc. for Cadillac Ventures Inc.
The Burnt Hill project covers approximately 1,540 hectares in central New Brunswick.
The Burnt Hill project includes the historical MRE of 1,761,000 tonnes within an open pit and underground averaging 0.292 per cent WO3, 0.007 per cent MoS2 and 0.008 per cent SnO2, along with a further 1.52 million inferred tonnes averaging 0.263 per cent WO3, 0.008 per cent MoS2 and 0.005 per cent SnO2, as disclosed in Table 1, which is reproduced from the historical technical report.
A statement of contained metal is also disclosed in Table 2, which is reproduced from the historical technical report.

The contained metal represented by the historical MRE after converting the metal compound to contained metal equivalents for the respective metal compounds is as shown in the attached table.
A qualified person has not done sufficient work to make the historical MRE current, and the company is not treating the historical MRE as current. The company encourages readers to exercise appropriate caution when evaluating the historical MRE.
Strategic importance of tungsten
Tungsten is a critical mineral with unique properties including the highest melting point of all metals, exceptional density, and resistance to thermal and mechanical stress. These characteristics make it indispensable in numerous high performance applications.
In particular, tungsten plays an increasingly vital role in the aerospace and space industries. It is used in satellite components, rocket engine nozzles, radiation shielding and high-temperature structural materials for spacecraft. Its strength and heat resistance also make tungsten a preferred material in the manufacture of advanced alloys used in turbine blades and hypersonic flight technology.
With growing demand for high-tech and defence applications, and limited global supply, tungsten has been designated a critical mineral by both the Canadian and United States governments. Projects like the Burnt Hill project are strategically important as secure domestic sources of this vital material.
