of Norway. As of the effective date of this report, licences are held by EMX Royalty Corp. (through their wholly own subsidiary Eurasian Minerals Sweden AB), though EMX has entered into an agreement with Norra Metals whereby Norra Metals will acquire ownership of the licences. This report has been prepared on behalf of Norra Metals in support of that transaction. The most prominent feature of the property is the Bleikvassli mine, a past-producing SEDEX-style sediment-hosted massive sulphide Pb-Zn deposit with minor Cu and Ag credits. The mine closed in 1997, following continuous operation since 1957 which saw the extraction of 5.0 million tonnes of Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag ore. Following closure of the mine, mineral rights for the mine itself and surrounding areas became available and were staked by EMX in early 2018. The current extent of the property includes both the past-producing mine itself and areas of prospective geology with mineralized surface rock samples outside the footprint of the mine. The area covered by the property is generally hilly, with vegetation dominated by boreal forests with a sub-arctic climate. Field work is possible through the summer months, with drilling operations possible year- round. Access and local infrastructure is well developed, with paved roads connecting the property to the rest of Norway, nearby
