Overview

Westward has consolidated a 6,953-hectare land package (~70 sq.km), comprised of two projects in the heart of Nevada’s elephant country: Toiyabe Hills on the Battle Mountain-Eureka-Cortez Gold Trend, and Coyote on the Carlin Trend, two of the most prospective mining districts in the world.

TOIYABE HILLS PROJECT

A diversified target-rich environment with near-mine, brownfield and greenfield targets. Westward has consolidated 737 claims from five different claim blocks and is advancing the first ever opportunity to apply modern, large-scale systematic exploration techniques to define quality drill targets. Westward's technical team has completed geologic mapping, geochemistry programs and geophysical programs to support drilling of a the new Campfire Target Complex.

COYOTE PROJECT

The Coyote Project consists of 111 claims (~9 sq.km) on the northern extension of the prolific Carlin Trend, 6 km north of NGM's South Arturo Mine and 12 km northwest of the Gold Strike Mine.

• The most prolific mining jurisdiction in the world: Nevada boasts the most gold production per square kilometer.⁽¹⁾
• World-class gold deposits: 4 of the top 10 gold mines in North America by production are located in Nevada (more than any other state or province).⁽²⁾
• Safest jurisdiction to invest in: Based on the Fraser Institute’s annual survey (2020), Nevada ranks #1 on their Investment Attractiveness Index (87 tracked jurisdictions around the world).
• New tier-1 discoveries: Despite having a long history of mining, much of the state remains under-explored
• Significant M&A activity: Acquirers have historically looked to Nevada as a prime target for growth; recent transactions include:
  • AngloGold / Corvus (US$370M) – announced (2021)
  • First Majestic / Jerritt Canyon (US$470M) (2021)
  • Endeavour Silver / Bruner Gold Project (US$10M) (2021)
  • Barrick / Newmont Joint Venture (2019)
