STELLAR GOLD COPPER PROJECT

Stellar Copper-Gold Project

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Stellar property (22,700 ha); located in the Omineca Mining Division, northwestern British Columbia. The Property is situated approximately 25 km southwest of the town of Houston and 45 km directly south of Smithers, BC. and is subject to a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty. The Company has the right to purchase 50% of the Net Smelter Royalties for a purchase price of $1.0 million each. During the quarter, Aurwest commissioned a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report (the “Report”) on the Stellar project which was filed on SEDAR on April 6, 2021. The Report concluded that the Stellar project is an early-stage exploration project and considered to have good potential to host copper porphyry and structurally controlled gold deposits. The Report also concluded that past exploration efforts while focused on copper mineralization did not focused on systematic exploration for porphyry copper systems and failed to understand the significance of the mineralized skarnification and hornfelsing processes, both of which are characteristic of wet intrusions that typically are the causative intrusion in porphyry copper deposits. Accordingly, the Report recommended a $584,000, two-phase program to evaluate the porphyry copper potential of the aeromagnetic anomalies. The property is underlain by Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group volcanic and sedimentary rocks that have been intruded by early Cretaceous McCauley Island dioritic to monzonitic intrusive rocks and Late Cretaceous Bulkley dioritic to felsitic intrusive rocks. This suite of rocks host most of the significant porphyry copper mineralization in this portion of British Columbia. An exploration model like the Huckleberry porphyry copper deposit is being used to explore the Stellar property. The property exhibits widespread copper-gold-silver mineralization with numerous rock samples containing greater than 1.0% copper, and in some cases molybdenum, as well as high-grade copper-silver dissemination/veins in skarn (chalcopyrite-bornite). The mineralogy, alteration and skarnification strongly supports the presence of a porphyry system. In addition to the porphyry targets, a 2.4 km long, structurally controlled Quartz vein system with gold values up to 37.6 g/t (1.2 oz/t) has been located in the northeast corner of the property peripheral to porphyry style mineralization. During the period, the Company incurred $10,269 on the properties covering property payments, compilation, and general and administrative expenses
