PROPERTY LOCATION & ACQUISITION DATE

BAM. The property consists of ten mineral tenures that cover an area of over 8,100 hectares located approximately 35 km west of Bob Quinn Lake. P2 Gold optioned BAM in July between August 2020, shortly after we formed our company, P2 Gold Inc.

PROJECT ACTIVITIES IN THE 2021 SEASON

During the month of July 2021, P2 conducted mapping, sampling, geophysics and drilling at the BAM property (836 metres in six holes).

COMPANY OVERVIEW & UPDATE

Any successes or challenges you’d like to share?

P2 is advancing exploration on two zones: the Jan Copper Zone, which is a historical zone, and the Monarch Gold Zone which was first discovered by P2 in 2020 through soil geochemical sampling. The six-hole drill program in 2021 comprised four holes at the Monarch Gold Zone and two holes at the historical Jan Copper Zone. All four holes drilled in the Monarch Gold Zone intersected gold, with both holes at the Jan Copper Zone intersecting copper. The results of the work we have conducted at BAM in 2020 and 2021 demonstrate that the Monarch Gold Zone is the newest gold discovery in the Golden Triangle.

Number of employees working on your project(s)?

We anticipate roughly a dozen individuals will be working on the BAM Project during the 2022 season.

Where does the majority of your financing come from year to year? What’s the breakdown of who owns your company and what’s your company’s market cap?

P2 Gold (PGLD) is a TSX-Venture Exchange-listed company. We raise money by issuing shares through financings. Management owns approximately 25% of the PGLD shares, Waterton (private equity firm) owns approximately 20% and the remainder are owned by the public. Most of our shareholders are Canadian P2 Gold’s market cap (as of January 13, 2022) is $45 million.

Tentative plans and hopes for the 2022 season?

We hope to follow-up on 2021’s exploration success at BAM with deep penetrating geophysics and a drill program of 8,000–10,000 metres between the months of July to September 2022.

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TCG & TAHLTAN NATION

During the 2021 season, what involvement did TCG personnel and departments have with your company? If they were not involved, why not?

We engaged with both the TCG Communications & External Relations Department and Employment & Contracting Department.

In 2021, how many Tahltans did you employ? What positions did they hold in your company and what percentage of Tahltans did you employ compared to others?

In 2021, our BAM crew shared a camp with Evergold, and we contracted with them to support our work at the BAM Project through their TCG joint venture. The joint venture operated the camp, supplied core boxes and built drill pads.

P2 had directly hired two geologists and two drillers for BAM during the 2021 season; we are unsure of the overall workforce breakdown with respect to specific employment hours by the Tahltans working on BAM through our support contract.

What employment opportunities, now and in the future, are available to Tahltan members?

We have employment opportunities for Tahltan geologists and camp support at BAM during our current early exploration stage. If we have, in fact, made a significant gold discovery on the property we would plan to advance it quickly and offer considerably more employment opportunities with jobs related to advanced exploration, camp construction, and permitting.

Why should Tahltan members want to work for you?

P2’s senior management team previously founded Pretium Resources and established and operated the Brucejack Mine where many Tahltan were (are) employed. We believe those Tahltan who worked with us at the time experienced a respectful workplace where employees were treated well. It is our intention to grow P2 and advance BAM with the same principles.

Do you have any outside contractors working for you? If so, who are they? Who were the primary contractors you utilized? Do they offer employment opportunities to Tahltan members?

• Discovery Diamond Drilling – Stewart, BC • Yellowhead Helicopters Ltd. – Stewart, BC

We can make driller helper positions available for Tahltan members with Discovery Diamond Drilling if there is interest.

Anything else you would like to share with the Tahltan Nation?

P2’s team is excited about the prospects for the BAM gold discovery and we look forward to working with the Tahltan Nation to advance the project.
