1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

At the request of Trio Resources, Inc. (“Trio”), the author has completed a geological review of the Duncan Kerr Property (the “Property”) and prepared this technical report (the “Technical Report”) in compliance with NI 43-101, Companion Policy NI43-101CP, and Form 43-101F1. This Technical Report has been prepared voluntarily and not pursuant to an obligation to prepare and file a technical report under NI 43-101.

The author has prepared this report to provide a summary of scientific and technical data on the Property, including historical exploration activities, and he has made recommendations concerning future exploration and development of the Property. This Technical Report is based on exploration and Property information supplied to the author by Trio, as well as by the review of geological and exploration information available in the public domain. The author visited the property on December 29^th, 2012, and again on February 26^th and 27^th, 2013.

The Property is situated approximately 3 km southeast of the town of Cobalt, Ontario in Coleman Township, Larder Lake Mining Division. The Property consists of 2 contiguous patented mining claims known as Parcels 1831 NND, and 3694 NND, totalling 32.374 ha in area. The Property encompasses the part of the historical mine workings of the Kerr Lake Mine that are located on Parcel 1831 NND, as well as the historical mine workings of the Lawson Mine that are located on Parcel 3694 NND. An estimated total of 32,715,590 oz of Ag have been produced from the Kerr Lake and Lawson Mines (Cunningham, 1963). A well maintained municipal road and power line service the Property. The Property is bounded by UTM NAD83 Z17T coordinates 600890E to 601694E, and 5247329N to 5247904N.

The Property is located within the Cobalt embayment in the Southern Province of the Canadian Shield. The oldest rocks on the Property are Archean mafic volcanics that have been intruded by several lamprophyre dykes. These rocks have been unconformably overlain by Proterozoic age Huronian sediments. A large south-southeast dipping Nipissing diabase sill intrudes the Archean mafic volcanics and Huronian sediments. This sill is part of a domed Nipissing diabase sheet that is also exposed to the north of the Property. Most of the silver deposits in the Cobalt mining camp are located proximal to the Huronian-Archean unconformity and are spatially associated with the Nipissing diabase sills.

Exploration potential exists south of the Kerr Lake Mine where the Huronian/Archean unconformity may exist beyond the mine workings. A review of a north-south orientated long section from an unknown source in the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (“MNDM”) government assessment files shows a profile through the Kerr Lake Mine. The interpretation of that section shows the diabase contact becoming very steeply dipping at approximately 70 degrees south. This may have been inferred or implied from geological observations seen on the 2^ndlevel of the Kerr Lake Mine, but in contrast the diabase contact to the west on the Conisil and Lawson Mines has a generally shallow dipping contact at approximately 20 to 30 degrees south-southeast with local areas where the contact dips steeply over a short strike length. Assuming this is the case south of the Kerr Lake Mine, potential may exist for a southern, relatively shallow dipping, extension of the Huronian-Archean unconformity or at the Archean-diabase contact. Silver was mined at the Conisil, Lawson, and Kerr Lake Mines within the diabase near the Archean contact. For example, the Number 3 vein at the Kerr Lake Mine produced over 3 Moz of Ag, and it was hosted in diabase and Archean rocks (Cunningham, 1963).

It is recommended that a GIS (Geographic Information System) compilation be completed prior to commencement of any work programs. Prospecting and geological mapping is also recommended to map in the geological contacts and structures on the Property which will assist in the preparation of future work programs on the Property. A diamond drill program is also recommended, with the first phase totaling 2,000 m, and the second phase, contingent upon favorable results in the first phase of diamond drilling, totaling 3,000 m. The aggregate expenditure of the work programs proposed for 2013 is estimated to be $831,050.

The information, conclusions and recommendations contained herein are based on a review of digital and hard copy data and information supplied to the author by Trio, various geological reports, and reports that were available in the public domain, as well as a review of assessment files located at the Resident Geologist’s Office in Kirkland Lake, Ontario.

Some relevant information on the Property presented in this Technical Report is based on data derived from reports written by geologists and/or engineers who may or may not be “qualified persons” (as defined in NI 43-101). The author has made every attempt to accurately convey the content of those reports, but cannot guarantee either the accuracy, validity, or completeness of the data contained within those files. However, it is believed that these reports were written with the objective of presenting the results of the work performed, without any promotional or misleading intent.

4. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

4.1 Location

The Property is situated approximately 3 km southeast of the town of Cobalt, Ontario in Coleman Township, Larder Lake Mining Division (Figure 1). A well maintained municipal road and power line service the Property. The Property is bounded by UTM NAD83 Z17T coordinates 600890E to 601694E, and 5247329N to 5247904N, and is covered by National Topographic System (NTS) map sheet 31M/5.

4.2 Mineral Dispositions

In 2012, Trio acquired 100% ownership in two patented mining claims in Coleman Township, 1831NND and 3694NND (Figure 2). The claims are located on property parcel PT E 1/2 of N 1/2, Lot 3, Con 4, and SW 1/4 of N 1/2, Lot 3, Con 4 respectively (Table 2).

The purchase by Trio included a cash payment of $100,000, and issuing a vendor note representing $500,000 which shall be automatically converted into common shares of Trio upon the completion of a transaction resulting in the listing of the Company on the NASDAQ stock exchange.

4.3 Environmental Liabilities and Permitting

The Property hosts parts of the past producing Kerr Lake Mine which operated intermittently from 1905 through to 1964, and the Lawson Mine which operated intermittently from 1909 through to the 1960’s.

Trio is responsible for all environmental and mine hazards located on the Property. The majority of the mine hazards have been addressed, but according to inspection reports, several hazards may still exist on the Property. As well, Trio is responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the remediation efforts such as maintaining fencing, signage, etc. It is recommended that the hazards and environmental liabilities on the property be documented by Trio and inspected on a semi-annual basis. Appendix 2 provides the closure plan that was submitted by Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. in 1994, and the most recent site inspection by the MNDM in 2010.

All work performed to date by Trio on the Property has not required any special permit or licences. Currently, no permits are required to perform any exploration activity in the Province of Ontario. However, due to new rules under Ontario’s Mining Act passed in 2009, exploration plans and permits will have to be submitted and approved by MDNM after April 1, 2013 for completing work on unpatented claims. Surface rights owners must be notified when applying for permits, and aboriginal communities, potentially affected by the exploration permit activities, have to be consulted and have an opportunity to provide comments and feedback before a decision is made by MNDM on the permit. As the claims that comprise the Property are patented, where Trio owns the surface and mineral rights, no permits are necessary under the Mining Act of Ontario.

5. ACCESS, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND PHYSIOGRAPHY

5.1 Accessibility

5.4 Physiography

The physiography is typical of the Precambrian Shield area in northeastern Ontario with general rolling and steep ledges and cliffs with occasional swamps, lakes, and streams. Typical vegetation on the Property consists of a boreal forest with a mixture of coniferous and deciduous trees, including poplars, birch, maple, pine, spruce, alders, and willows. The elevation of the Property is approximately 310 m above sea level and the maximum topographical relief is generally less than 25 m.

6. HISTORY

6.1 Historical Mineral Exploration

Historical exploration in the area of the Property dates back to 1903 with the discovery of silver in Cobalt, Ontario. Silver production of the Cobalt Camp is reported to be 464,853,101 oz (Pressacco, Webster, and Zalnieriunas, 2008).

The Kerr Lake deposit was discovered in 1904, and production commenced in 1905 whereby the Kerr Lake Mine was operated intermittently until it finally closed in 1964. The original Kerr Lake property was comprised of three claims historically referred to as Parcel 1764 NND (under Kerr Lake), 1831 NND, and 4821 NND (referred to as the Kerr Lake fraction). From 1905 through to 1956, 28,502,037 oz of Ag was produced from the three claims (Cunningham, 1963). A total of 8 shafts and were sunk on the Kerr Lake claims, along with one adit that was driven south from the shoreline of Kerr Lake. The main shaft, known as the Number 3 shaft, was sunk to a depth of 550 ft with 9 levels being developed. The underground workings were connected to the Hargrave, Conisil, and Lawson Mines located to the southeast, south, and west respectively.

The Lawson deposit was discovered in 1905 and production commenced at the Lawson Mine in 1909. A total of 4 shafts were sunk on the Lawson claim (Parcel 3694 NND). The deepest shaft, the No 8, was sunk to a depth of approximately 410 ft. All underground workings were connected and 6 levels were developed. When the mine initially closed in 1919, a total of 4,213,553 oz of Ag had been produced (Cunningham, 1963). From 1922 through to 1944, the Lawson Mine was operated pursuant to several leases. The mine was later re-opened in 1953 and was operated through to 1960 by Silver Miller Mines Ltd. No records of silver production were recorded during this period as the ore was mixed with other Silver Miller ores from the surrounding mines (Cunningham, 1963).

JMK Exploration Consulting

In 1977, St. Joseph Exploration Ltd. constructed the Canadaka Mill on the Lawson claim (parcel 3694NND). It was designed to process up to 500 tons per day, but was estimated to have only processed 350 tons per day. The mill was designed as an ore concentrator by combining gravity and flotation methods to process ore from the company’s area mines. The mill was closed in 1980 when the company’s mines ceased production.

In 1983, the mill was bought by Sulpetro Minerals Ltd. and was modified to process tailings being mined at the Chambers-Ferland tailings containment area. Milling rates averaged 450 to 500 tons per day. The tailings were deposited to the south of the Main Shaft in a series of three ponds that were formed by damming a small creek flowing from Kerr Lake to Giroux Lake. At the time, the tailings capacity had not been reached and an estimated 500,000 tons of tailings could be added (Anderson, 1993). The mill was later sold prior to Trio’s acquisition of the Property.

As at the date of this Technical Report, limited historical information was available. No records of past exploration work were located. It is recommended that on-going efforts be made to locate historical reports that pertain to the Property.

7. GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND MINERALIZATION

7.1 Regional Geology

The Property is located within the Cobalt Embayment in the Southern Province of the Canadian Shield. Huronian Supergroup sedimentary rocks unconformably overly Archean basement rocks, and are commonly found filling paleo-valleys or troughs in the Archean basement. The Archean rocks are summarized as a steeply dipping sequence of mafic to felsic volcanics, intercalated with cherty and sulphidic interflow sediments, along with intrusions of mafic to ultramafic dykes and sills. Both the Huronian sediments and Archean rocks have been intruded by Proterozoic-aged Nipissing diabase occurring as both sills and dykes (Figure 3).

NI 43-101 Technical Report – March 22^nd, 2013

Page 16

JMK Exploration Consulting

Figure 3: Regional Geology of the Cobalt Area, Ontario (after OGS MRD 282).

7.2 Property Geology

The oldest rocks on the Property are Keewatin-age volcanic rocks that have been overlain by Huronian sediments of Proterozoic age. A large south-southeast dipping Nipissing diabase sill intrudes the Archean mafic volcanics and Huronian sediments. This sill is part of a domed Nipissing diabase sheet that is also exposed to the north of the Property. The current level of erosion has exposed the underlying Cobalt Series sediments and Keewatin volcanic rocks (Figure 4).

NI 43-101 Technical Report – March 22^nd, 2013

Page 17

JMK Exploration Consulting

Exploration potential exists south of the Kerr Lake Mine where the Huronian/Archean unconformity may exist beyond the mine workings. A review of a north-south orientated long section from an unknown source in the MNDM government assessment files shows a profile through the Kerr Lake Mine. The interpretation of that section has the diabase contact becoming very steeply dipping at approximately 70 degrees south. This may have been inferred or implied from geological observations seen on the 2^nd level of the Kerr Lake Mine, but in contrast the diabase contact to the west on the Conisil and Lawson Mines has a generally shallow dipping contact at approximately 20 to 30 degrees south-southeast with local areas where the contact dips steeply over a short strike length. Assuming this is the case south of the Kerr Lake Mine, potential may exist for a southern, relatively shallow-dipping, extension of the Huronian-Archean unconformity or at the Archean-diabase contact. Silver was mined at the Conisil, Lawson, and Kerr Lake Mines within the diabase near the Archean contact.

7.3 Mineralization

Silver mineralization on the Property has been exploited by several mining operations from 1905 through to the 1960’s. An estimated 32,715,590 oz of Ag have been produced from the Kerr Lake and Lawson Mines (Cunningham, 1963). The Property encompasses the historical mine workings of the Kerr Lake Mine that lie on Parcel 1831 NND, as well as the historical mine workings of the Lawson Mine on Parcel 3694 NND.

8. DEPOSIT TYPES

Most of the silver deposits in the Cobalt Camp are located proximal to the Huronian-Archean unconformity and are spatially associated with the Nipissing diabase sills. The majority of the historical silver production from the Cobalt Camp has been within 200 m of the contacts of the diabase.

The veins hosting the mineralization in the Cobalt Camp are referred to as five-element veins, containing Ni, Co, As, Ag, and Bi. The veins are characteristically open-space filling, and the replacement of wall rock is not extensive. Most veins are directly or indirectly associated with vertical to sub-vertical fault systems. Veins are commonly completely filled with hydrothermally deposited minerals and pinch and swell from cm to m scale thicknesses.

NI 43-101 Technical Report – March 22^nd, 2013

Page 18

JMK Exploration Consulting

Mineralization is typically discontinuous along the structure with high-grade ore pockets commonly occurring in the vicinity of vein intersections, or at the intersections of veins with late, shallow-dipping shear zones, and at lithological contacts. Ore minerals occur in a wide variety of forms including massive pods, bands, dendrites, plates, leaves, and zoned rosettes.

9. EXPLORATION

Trio has not completed any exploration activities on the Property.

10. DRILLING

10.1 Historical Drilling

No records of any surface diamond drilling were located from the OGS digital database and through searching through assessment files at the Kirkland Lake Resident Geologist Office. Several underground drill holes were shown on level plan maps.

10.2 Drilling

In 2012, Trio completed 8 short AQ diameter (2.7 cm) diamond drill holes, with the longest drill hole, DK12-07, drilled to a depth of 165.1 ft (Figure 5)). The author re-logged four drill holes, DK12-02, DK12-04, DK12-07, and DK12-08 as part of the current review. No core samples had been submitted for analysis as at the date of this Technical Report. All four holes that were logged intersected Cobalt series sediments. In diamond drill hole DK12-07, local sections of significant mineralization consisting of cobaltite +/- silver veinlets up to several mm’s in width were intersected. Drill hole DK12-07 was drilled at a vertical inclination, and would have been orientated sub-parallel to the known orientation of the veins on the Property. This is supported by several mineralized fractures that are orientated 0° to the core axis.

The diamond drilling program was not conducted to industry standards as outlined by CIM Best Practice guidelines. The author attempted to validate the drill results, and it is the opinion of the author that the results should not be considered reliable.

11. SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES, AND SECURITY

Trio has not carried out any sampling programs on the Property.

12. DATA VERIFICATION

12.1 Historical Data Verification

Historical data verification included a site visit to the former locations of the Kerr Lake and Lawson Mines, as well as the tailings facility. The author also reviewed historical maps and reports located at the Kirkland Lake Resident Geologist Office. The author believes this information is generally of sufficient accuracy to form the basis of an exploration program on the Property.

12.2 Recent Data Verification

The diamond drilling program completed in 2012 by Trio was reviewed by the author. The author logged four drill holes, DK12-02, DK12-04, DK12-07, and DK12-08 as part of the review. No core samples had been submitted for analysis as at the date of this Technical Report. As previously noted, the diamond drilling program was not conducted to industry standards as outlined by CIM Best Practice guidelines. The author attempted to validate the drill results, and it is the opinion of the author that the results should not be considered reliable.

13. MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING

The Property is at the exploration stage and no metallurgical testing has been carried out.

14. MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

There has not been sufficient work on the Property to undertake a mineral resource estimate.

23. ADJACENT PROPERTIES

The Property hosts parts of the past producing Kerr Lake Mine, and the Lawson Mine, which represent two of the numerous past producing mines that have operated over the past century in the Cobalt Camp. The majority of the mines in the Cobalt Camp contained mineralization similar to that in the Kerr Lake and Lawson Mines.

24. OTHER RELEVANT DATA AND INFORMATION

There is no other relevant data or information.

25. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS

Exploration potential exists south of the Kerr Lake Mine where the Huronian/Archean unconformity may exist beyond the mine workings. A review of a north-south orientated long section from an unknown source in the MNDM government assessment files shows a profile through the Kerr Lake Mine. The interpretation of that section has the diabase contact becoming very steeply dipping at approximately 70 degrees south. This may have been inferred or implied from geological observations seen on the 2^nd level of the Kerr Lake Mine, but in contrast the diabase contact to the west on the Conisil and Lawson Mines has a generally shallow dipping contact at approximately 20 to 30 degrees south-southeast with local areas where the contact dips steeply over a short strike length. Assuming this is the case south of the Kerr Lake Mine, potential may exist for a southern, relatively shallow-dipping, extension of the Huronian-Archean unconformity or at the Archean-diabase contact. Silver was mined at the Conisil, Lawson, and Kerr Lake Mines within the diabase near the Archean contact. For example, the Number 3 vein at the Kerr Lake Mine produced over 3 Moz of Ag and it was hosted in diabase and Archean rocks (Cunningham, 1963).

26. RECOMMENDATIONS

Subsequent to the research conducted for this Technical Report, and taking into consideration information provided by Trio, the author recommends a two phase exploration program:

Phase 1:

1) If possible, the diamond drill core that was recovered from the 2012 drill program completed by Trio should be completely logged and sampled. For future drilling programs, it is recommended to drill larger diameter cores, such as NQ diameter (47.6 mm). As well, the drill core should be placed into properly labeled boxes and the drill site should be marked and surveyed at the time of the completion of the drill hole. Proper core storage and security is also recommended to ensure that no loss of information pertaining to the drill core or drill holes occurs. The drilling and exploration programs should follow CIM Best Practice guidelines.

2) Creation of a GIS database, including all geological, geophysical and historical information should be completed. This would entail digitization of historical plans and sections, along with the supporting assay data. This will help to assist in the preparation of future work programs along with targeting the most prospective areas on the Property.

3) A surface work program is recommended prior to the commencement of any diamond drilling. This should include geological mapping, line cutting, and possible induced polarization and magnetometer surveying to assist in identifying diamond drill targets.

4) A 2,000 m diamond drill program is recommended for the Property to locate new bedrock resources at the Archean-Huronian unconformity.

Phase 2:

1) Based on favourable results from Phase 1, a 3,000 m follow-up diamond drill program is recommended for the Property.

Tables 3, 4, and 5 summarize the budget and recommendations of a two phase exploration program for the Property.
