Project and an exploration/development project called the Viking Project in Newfoundland.
The Point Rousse Project is approximately 6,300 hectares of property on the Ming's Bight Peninsula located in the Baie Verte
Mining District in Newfoundland, Canada. Since 2012, Anaconda has increased its property control

currently exploring three primary, prospective gold trends, which have approximately 20 km of cumulative strike length and include
five deposits and numerous prospects and showings, all within 8 km of the Pine Cove Mill.
