QP Statement
The technical information contained in this website has been reviewed and approved by Joshua Carron (SME Reg No. 042931540), a “Qualified Person” (“QP”) as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Mr. Carron is not independent, as he is the Company’s Vice President, Exploration.
Historical drill results and mineralized intercepts disclosed herein are historical in nature and were completed by previous operators. A Qualified Person has not independently verified the historical drilling, sampling, quality control, collar locations, down-hole surveys or assay data underlying these results and Headwater has not completed sufficient work to validate the historical results. Accordingly, the historical results should not be relied upon as current or verified exploration results. The Company considers the historical information relevant for the purpose of identifying areas for follow-up exploration, but its reliability is uncertain because the original sampling methods, analytical procedures, laboratory certifications, chain of custody and quality control protocols are not known and therefore do not meet current industry standards. Reported intervals should be treated as down-hole lengths and true widths are unknown.

1The Qualified Person has been unable to verify the information on the adjacent properties. Mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby and/or geologically similar properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the Company’s properties. Historical resource estimates, historical drill intercepts, and historical surface samples are treated by the Company as historical in nature, and not current or NI 43-101 compliant.

3Reported grades were calculated using a 0.2 g/t cut-off grade for primary intervals and a 2 g/t cut-off grade for included intervals. Intervals correspond to downhole thickness, with insufficient information available to calculate true thickness.
