Blind Creek – The Company • Focused on zinc-lead-silver and gold-silver property acquisitions, exploration and development in Western Canada. • Established in 2004. • 100% ownership of 3 drill-ready, mid /resource-stage properties. • Highly experienced Board of Directors and management. • 25.5 million shares issued. • 43% shares held by Company insiders. 3

Blind Creek – The Properties Blende Property (100% owned) • The largest undeveloped carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb-Ag deposit in Yukon. AB Property (100% owned) • Drill-ready MVT Zinc-Lead Property, North West Territories. Engineer Gold Mine Property (100% owned) • Fully permitted historic mine and mill in Northwestern B.C. 4

The Engineer Gold Mine • On April 26th, 2017 Blind Creek announced it had completed the acquisition of the fully-permitted, historic high-grade Engineer Gold Mine and mill, situated 32 km southwest of Atlin, B.C. • Engineer Gold Mine produced 18,000 ounces gold and 9,000 ounces silver averaging 39 g/t Au and 18 g/t Ag, respectively, in the 1920’s . • An under- explored “ Porgera-style ” epithermal system with > 25 known veins and 2 major shear structures providing excellent exploration upside for additional high-grade and large bulk-tonnage gold deposits. • Blind Creek recently tripled the Engineer Gold Mine Property size to 12,032 ha. by staking. • Small, 3-year, high-grade gold production opportunity defined by previous owner. 5

Location Map Engineer Gold Mine, B.C. • Engineer Gold Mine is situated 32 km southwest of Atlin, B.C. • Access by float / ski- equipped plane, helicopter, boat and barge. • Historic gold mine situated on patented crown grants. • >$4.7M expenditures by previous owner. 6

Engineer Gold Mine Claim Map • Blind Creek recently tripled property size to 12,032 ha by staking. • Property overlays the entire Engineer Gold Mine Camp. • No underlying royalty on historic mine workings and Wann River claims. 8

Regional and Engineer Gold Mine Crown Grants Property Geology • Adjacent to Llewellyn Fault; major domain boundary between Hub A Stikine and Nisling Hub B Terrains. • Black sediments intruded by quartz monzonite to diorite dykes and stocks • Property cut by Llewellyn-related shear zones up to 150 metres wide hosting hydrothermal breccia and low-grade gold. • > 25 narrow, dilational veins discovered to date with high-grade gold mineralization. 9

Engineer Gold Mine Production History • Past production was primarily from 2 high-grade gold (39 g/t Au) and silver (19 g/t) veins on 8 mine levels. • Mine workings access 7 veins, all open at depth. Four veins with high- grade mineralization above the 5th Level (main haulage). • Veins and high-grade gold mineralization has been confirmed by the previous owner to extend below the deepest mine level by recent drilling, (22.32 g/t Au over 0.96 metres), mine dewatering, bulk sampling and on- site milling. • In 2011, 5 bulk samples totaling 246 tonnes from remnant pillars of the Engineer Vein were test-mined and milled, producing 826 kg of gold gravity concentrate (containing 68 oz gold) which was monetized for US$107,000 (Net). 10

Engineer Gold Mine – Shear Zones, Veins, Surface Drilling & Underground Development (Level 5) • 5,500 m of underground development on 8 levels. • 5th Level portal with rail. Hub A Hub B • 2 styles of epithermal gold mineralization. • Narrow high grade veins (0.3 – 3.0 m, >35 g/t Au). • Broad, low grade shear structures with hydrothermal breccias (0.45 g/t over 34 m). • Unexplored below 200 m from surface. Shear B • 1,850 m surface drill program in 2008 (Shear Zone A), 1,100 m UG drill program in 2010 (Engineer & Double Decker Veins), and bulk sampling program in 2011 (mined and Shear A milled 5 bulk samples for 246.1 tonnes). • Mine dewatering , rehabilitation, panel sampling of 6 and 7 Levels in 2012. 11

Engineer Exploration Model and Upside • The Historic Engineer Gold Mine has the earmarks of a large epithermal gold mineralizing system (bulk tonnage gold and narrow vein high-grade gold and roscoelite) similar to world-class epithermal gold systems such as the Porgera (+10M oz Au), Cripple Creek and Emperor gold deposits. • Property has >25 known veins and >8 km of untested, 2nd order shear structures known to host large bodies of hydrothermal breccias with low-grade gold and silver. • Overall less than 5,000 metres of drilling on the property – mostly by the previous owner. • Previous owner focused on a small tonnage, high-grade gold production opportunity. The Engineer Gold Mine has never been properly assessed by a modern day, deliberate and well-funded exploration program. • The exploration potential for additional high-grade gold mineralization at the Engineer Gold Mine is strongly supported in 2 recent geological papers published 12 by Dr. Leo Millonig et.al. as part of a post-doctoral research study at U.B.C.

Engineer Exploration Model and Upside • Drilling in 2008 defined a continuous low-grade gold-bearing hydothermal breccia body over a 400 metre strike length in Shear Zone A, with first-pass drill intercepts up to 0.45 g/t Au over 34 metres. • First-pass soil geochemical surveys by the previous owner has defined numerous un-explained Au-Ag-As-Sb soil anomalies proximal to Engineer Mine. • Numerous un-explained magnetic and EM resistivity anomalies occur in proximity to the soil anomalies and along strike of Shear Zone “A”. • Blind Creek is positioned to drill test 4 separate bulk tonnage gold targets, radiating from a central intrusive core immediately south of the mine workings, believed to represent the heart of the Engineer mineralizing system. 13
