What makes a mining company, and especially a ‘junior’, attractive for investment? Those factors include:

• Location/geography/political risk;• Asset/ore deposit/exploration• Commodity;• Ownership• Perhaps the most important –

Management’s track record.

• Central Saskatchewan and Quebec;• Brabant McKenzie orebody, numerous mineral showings on 565 km2 claims holdings;• Copper/Zinc/Nickel/Silver/Gold/Cobalt;• 100% ownership in both the Brabant Lake and HPM projects• History of successful financing of exploration and development projects in Canada,

Africa & South America

The coincident magnetic trend can be traced northward to the Brabant-McKenzie deposit. The large Maxwell plate derived from the ground geophysical survey has a low conductivity-thickness (CT) of 9.3 Siemens, which can be consistent with the characteristically non-conductive sphalerite mineralization.

TSXV:MURPlanned Activities 2020

Completed field prospecting, mapping, sampling over all the major EM/High Mag targets identified in the 2019 VTEM airborne survey.

Selected 12 different high priority targets for diamond drilling in January to April 2020 (4,000 m)

Undertake a +900 line km VTEM Max airborne to cover all un-flown claims at Brabant Lake

Diamond drill the near surface portion of the part of the Brabant-McKenzie deposit as well as undertake surface trenching over the deposit.

Undertake field prospecting on the new Henry, MAS, M and M-North Claim Blocks at Brabant Lake and on the HPM Ni-Cu-Co property in Quebec

Zinc (Zn), chemical element, a low-melting metal of Group 12 (IIb, or zinc group) of the periodic table, that is essential to life and is one of the most widely used metals. Zinc is of considerable commercial importance.

AppearanceA silvery-white metal with a blue tinge. It tarnishes in air.Sphalerite (zinc sulfide) is the primary ore mineral from which most of the world's zinc is produced

UsesMost zinc is used to galvanize other metals, such as iron, to prevent rusting. Galvanized steel is used for car bodies, street lamp posts, safety barriers and suspension bridges.

Large quantities of zinc are used to produce die-castings, which are important in the automobile, electrical and hardware industries. Zinc is also used in alloys such as brass, nickel silver and aluminum solder. Zinc oxide is widely used in the manufacture of very many products such as paints, rubber, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, plastics, inks, soaps, batteries, textiles and electrical equipment. Zinc sulfide is used in making luminous paints, fluorescent lights and x-ray screens.

Biological roleZinc is essential for all living things, forming the active site in over 20 metallo-enzymes. The average human body contains about 2.5 grams and takes in about 15 milligrams per day. Some foods have above average levels of zinc, including herring, beef, lamb, sunflower seeds and cheese. Also used in fertilizer supplements to enhance crop yield
