"CORPORATE
•Several investment opportunities are under review.
•The increase in the gold price over the past six months has spurred a revival in the equity funding of gold companies and HEG is among the better positioned companies with advanced gold projects.


PROJECTS
•The three main HEG gold projects of Hargraves, Red Hill and Reward are at various stages of pre-development and permitting.
•The Hargraves project (100% owned) has a Pre-Feasibility Study completed in 2014 for a 100,000oz open pit and low impact processing project.
•The Red Hill project (minimum 85%) is in preparation for a PFS on an open pit project with an onsite processing plant or as a source of ore for an offsite plant.
•The Reward Gold Mine (minimum 85%) requires drilling of the near -surface Frenchmans wide zone and modification of the mining permits.
