Qualified Person and Technical Information

The technical information contained in this website has been reviewed and approved by David Reading, the Chair of BG Gold's Technical Committee and a “qualified person” within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). Mr. Reading has an MSc in Economic Geology and is a Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining and of the Society of Economic Geology (SEG).

The mineral resource estimate provided in this website is considered a “historical estimate” as defined under NI 43-101 and has been derived from a technical report entitled “Technical Report for the Pistol Bay Gold Project, Nunavut, Canada” prepared by Aleksandr Mitrofanov, PhD, PGeo and Joycelyn Smith, PGeo of SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (“SRK Canada”) dated February 27, 2020 with an effective date of February 5, 2020, for Nord Gold SE. The historical estimate is reported using the categories of mineral resources as defined by the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Reserves, but the Company has not had a “qualified person” complete sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource, and the Company is not treating such estimate as a current mineral resource estimate. However, the Company considers the estimate to be relevant and reliable as it was prepared by SRK Canada.
