COMPANY OVERVIEW

Established in 1945, Conquest is an Ontario-based, gold exploration company.  On December 7, 2017, Conquest acquired a 100% interest in the Golden Rose Property comprising patented and staked mining claims located 65 kilometres northeast of Sudbury, Ontario.  The patented and staked mining claims measure 770 hectares in size which encompass the former Golden Rose gold mine and highly prospective North and South banded iron formations at Emerald Lake.  Conquest is planning to commence a property-wide surface exploration program following the completion of the private placement financing.

In addition, Conquest owns a 100% interest in the Smith Lake Gold Property which consists of six (6) patented mining claims and sixteen (16) staked mining claims in Leeson, Stover, Brackin, and Rennie Townships in northern Ontario, lying to the north, west and south of the former Renabie gold mine.
