Donald G. Moore - CEO & Chairman
Mr. Moore's connection with the mining industry began over thirty years ago while working summers in the Dickinson Mine
(Goldcorp) in Red Lake, Ontario during high school and university. Following graduation from University of Waterloo, Mr. Moore
joined the Mining brokerage firm Doherty Roadhouse & McQuaig (which eventually became Midland Walwyn) in 1968, where the
foundation of his experience in the Mining investment industry evolved. In 1976 he accepted the challenge of reviving the economy of
the mining town of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, where, in his role of Director of Economic Development, he conceptualized, raised funds
for and had implemented a number of Geo-scientific programs that became the standard for Ontario. In 1981 he continued to
diversify his knowledge and involvement in the mining industry as Director and Executive Vice President of International Corona in
Vancouver, B.C. where he worked with David Bell in the early stages of the development of Ontario's prolific Hemlo gold deposits. He
then launched a career as an independent consultant to the mining and mining investment industry. His expertise now includes
organizing, restructuring, promoting and negotiating complex acquisitions and joint ventures for junior and senior mining companies,
based in North America and in Europe. Mr. Moore is currently a director and officer of several other public companies, including
Rupert Resources. D. Neil Briggs – Director

D. Neil Briggs – Director
Mr. Briggs has a Bachelor of Science degree in geology from the University of Durham, England. He held a senior exploration
position with Falconbridge Nickel Mines Limited, during which time he established the company's regional exploration office for the
Atlantic Provinces of Canada. Starting in the early 1980's, Mr. Briggs held senior management positions with Manitoba Mineral
Resources Ltd. (MMR) ultimately serving as president from 1993-1995. While at MMR, Mr. Briggs managed the company's 27%
interest in the Trout Lake Joint Venture and annually negotiated the sale of MMR's share of production from the 2,500 ton per day
Trout Lake Mine resulting in annual revenues of some $18 million. He also represented MMR on the Board of Tantalum Mining
Corporation of Canada (Tanco), North America's only tantalum producer. Mr. Briggs is a director and officer of several other public
companies, including Rupert Resources, and Kermode Resources.

EASTGATE GOLD PROJECT – NEVADA, USA
HISTORY
The Eastgate property is situated just a short distance from the original
Middlegate US Pony Express Station, along the US Pony Express Line
15
EASTGATE GOLD PROJECT – NEVADA, USA
History Continued…
 Discovered by prospectors in the late 1800’s, small scale mining began around
the turn of the 20th century.
 Site of multiple historic mines: Gold Ledge, Double Eagle, Eastgate, Sunny
Jim and Central.
 Main Eastgate vein was partially opened up and intermittently mined at shallow
depths for approximately 1500 feet (457M) along strike and vertically for 300
(91.4M).
16
EASTGATE GOLD PROJECT – NEVADA, USA
HISTORY CONT…
 By 1920, miners had reportedly extracted roughly 20,000 oz of gold
from workings on two main levels
 Additional production between 1935 and 1957. According to a 1998
report, 3247 oz of gold and 38,152 oz of silver produced during that
time
 Eastgate lay dormant for many years until interest in exploring the
region increased again in the late 1980’s
17
EASTGATE GOLD PROJECT – NEVADA, USA
EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE
 1987 - Acquired by Freeport McMoran. Freeport explored the
property looking for large “Carlin Style” low grade, bulk tonnage
deposit. Drilled 7 RC Holes with varied results
 1988 - Acquired by US Borax . Also focused on low grade, bulk
tonnage model. Exploration concentrated near vein system. Drilled
10 RC Holes in 1988 and results included discovery hole: EG-4 –15’
of 0.34 opt (4.57 m of 11.66g/t) Au
 US Borax dissolves Exploration Division and the Eastgate Property is
acquired by Cabot Resources. Cabot was created by an ex-US Borax
Geologist in order to continue to pursue the potential of Eastgate
18
EASTGATE GOLD PROJECT – NEVADA, USA
EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE
 1989-90 - Cabot drills the discovery section: A fan of RC Holes above
and below US Borax’s discovery hole: EG-4 – 15’ of 0.34 opt (4.57 m
of 11.66 g/t) Au. Highlights included CG-5 – 10’ of 0.25 opt (3.05 m
of 8.57 g/t) Au, CG-3 – 10’ of 0.11 opt (3.05 m of 3.77 g/t) Au, CG-2
– 15’ of 0.30 opt (4.57 m of 10.30 g/t) Au and CG-1 –10’ of 0.22 opt
(3.05 m of 7.58 g/t) Au (not true thicknesses)
 Cabot was intent on carrying out a core-drilling campaign to follow
up the discovery section however they were unable to secure the
necessary funding to do so. The property was held by Cabot for
nearly 10 additional years and eventually allowed to lapse near the
bottom of the gold market, without any further drilling being carried
out
19
EASTGATE GOLD PROJECT – NEVADA, USA
EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE
 1998 –Based on Ken Snyder’s recommendation, Franco Nevada
attempts but fails to acquire the ground
 Local prospectors manage to stake Eastgate
 The project is eventually Joint Ventured with Echo Bay Mines
 1999 - Echo Bay - Low grade, bulk tonnage model - Drills 4 RC holes
which fail to test the vein system
 2012 – After remaining in private hands for over a decade, Kermode
reaches a deal with Blueridge Gold to move Eastgate forward
 2013 – Kermode secures $2.45 million financing for Eastgate,
through a deal with Demerara Gold, a private company. The deal will
include a $1 Million exploration program

EASTGATE GOLD PROJECT – NEVADA, USA
EXPLORATION HIGHLIGHTS
 Main Eastgate Vein – Traceable for well over 2000 feet(610 m)
 29 Historic grab samples range from 0.03 opt Au to 3.19 opt Au (1 – 109
gpt Au) and average 0.584 opt Au (20.02 gpt Au)
 Gold Ledge Mine - Shallow depth chip sample – 0.876 opt Au over 4.5
feet (29.74 gpt Au over 1.37 m)
 Limited RC Drilling resulted in the discovery section which contained
notable high-grade intersections:
 US Borax EG 4 - 15 feet of 0.34 opt (4.57m of 11.66g/t) Au
 Cabot Resources CEG 1 - 10 feet of 0.22 opt (3.05m of 7.58g/t) Au & 5

EASTGATE GOLD PROJECT – NEVADA, USA
GEOLOGY
 Eastgate has high surface gold values with a large area of intense
alteration surrounding multiple veins thought to be of Miocene age
 The known deposits are quartz-adularia-sericite type veins hosted in a
Tertiary volcanic ashflow tuff
 Vein system has important geologic similarities to multi-million ounce,
high-grade gold deposits of the northwestern Great Basin that contain
bonanza-grade veins, notably Midas (Ken Snyder mine; approx. 3.7
million mineable oz @ 1.3 ounces per ton (44.57 gpt) Au
 Eastgate exposes the upper parts of a volcanic-hosted low sulphidation
epithermal vein system
 Eastgate offers the potential for discovery of high-grade vein
mineralization similar to Midas

EASTGATE GOLD PROJECT – NEVADA, USA
EASTGATE CONCLUSIONS
 High-grade, low-sulphidation, epithermal gold-silver system
 Striking similarities to well-known deposits such as Newmont’s
Midas/Ken Snyder Mine, Aurelian’s “Fruita Del Norte”
 Majority of work on Eastgate had taken place in times of low gold prices
and tough market conditions
 Other than Cabot, previous work did not test the low sulphidation
epithermal gold-silver characteristics. Freeport, USB, and Echo Bay
sought a low grade bulk tonnage deposit
 Northern and Southern potential extensions of system remains untested
 Eastgate has been privately held and not been available for option during
the recent (last 10 years) buoyant gold markets
The target has never been systematically tested at depth or along strike,
and core drilling has never been carried out on the project

Opportunity for a “BIG WIN”
The “Right” type of project at the “Right” time
 Eastgate represents an exceptional opportunity for a major gold
discovery in one of the top jurisdictions in the world – Nevada,
USA
 “Grade is King”– Eastgate is High-Grade and Drill-Ready
 With $2.45 million financing now in progress, Kermode plans to
be carrying out $1 Million in exploration in the coming months
 Kermode – Small (less than $20 Million) $2.0 Million Market-Cap,
plenty of upside
