    To Whom it may Concern

     I am writing this letter of recommendation for Geoken SPC LLP (“Geoken”). A geophysical company which provided geophysics services to the mining and exploration industry.
    My company, Arras Minerals Corp, a public company listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange (TSX.V) recently entered Kazakhstan and acquired a large package of Mineral claims. One of the first things we did on the properties was have Geoken conduct a very large, 100,000 line kilometer airborne magnetic survey over the entire land package.
    The survey results were excellent. The timing of our survey was during the winter, which despite the sometimes difficult conditions in Northern Kazakhstan, Geoken managed to keep the survey moving forward and on track with our planned timetable. We had consistent, informative daily reports from on the progress of the survey and were able to assess the quality of the data in real time.The rare occasion we did ask to re-fly.any lines,Geoken did so immediately and without issue.
    In summary we found the quality of the work was excellent, Geoken team very professional,and the cost to be very competitive with similar companies in Kazakhstan.
    Based on the performance and service we received working with Geoken, I can highly recommend them as a service provider for any magnetic survey a company may want.
    If you want to know more please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

    Sincerely,

    - ARRAS MINERALS CORP

    Scientific Production Centre GEOKEN LLP carried out a ground electrical survey in Aktobe and Kostanay regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan under the request of ERG Exploration LLP. The surveys were conducted in order to identify potentially promising areas for identification of polymetallic ores.

    According to the Scope of Works, the electrical survey was conducted at 8 areas. The survey was conducted in the period from June 2022 to September 2022. The scope of electrical survey work was 119.7 line km.

    The works on the project were carried out by using modern, most advanced specialized technologies and software products. GDD Instrumentation GRx8-32, Txll-5 electrical survey complex was used for data recording. Topographic support was performed with Trimble R12 system.

    As a result of the work, 3D models of electrical properties were obtained, potentially promising areas for the identification of polymetallic ores were identified, and recommendations were formulated for the location of exploration wells. The obtained materials, in combination with other geological and geophysical data, were used for geological mapping and allowed a more reasonable approach to solving the problems of the geological structure of the work area and identifying promising objects.

    During its operation, GEOKEN SPC LLP has established itself as a reliable partner that has the necessary human resources, modern equipment and software for high-quality and timely performance of electrical exploration work.

  • Maersk Oil Kazakhstan GmbH has been working with Scientific Production Center “Geoken” from year 2011. Our cooperation started from developing Geodinamic Monitoring Program for Dunga field, and construction of geodynamic polygon.

    In 2014-2015 Geoken carried out geodynamic survey on the Dunga field, including II class levelling survey, high-precision GNSS observations and gravimetric measurements twice a year. Currently geodynamic monitoring works are ongoing.

    All field measurments have been made using high-precision hardware and software package that includes automated gravity meters CG5 Autograv, digital level equipment Leica DNA03, multifrequency receivers Trimble R7 and R5, high-precision antenna of GNSS and GNSS-Ti Choke Ring type, specialized software packages Trimble Business Center, Topcon Tools, ArcGIS, MapINFO, Surfer, Grapher and others.

    All the above, as well as professional skills of Geoken specialists, compliance with requirements and work instructions have ensured accuracy of field observations within the limits allowed for geodynamic survey.

    In February – March 2016, Geoken performed geotechnical survey on the Dunga field for construction of oil field facilities at two lacations. The works are done in full within best delivery time and at professional level, and delivred the works according to the schedule defined by Maersk Oil Kazakhstan Gmbh.

    During our joint work, Geoken showed itself as a partner who sticks to the principles of quality, punctuality, reliability and safety at work. We can recommend Geoken as a reliable business partner.
