Highly prospective based on key indicators
Major bend: Situated on a major structural bend along the multimillion-ounce gold structure
Geological complexity: Features several large arrays of faults and shear zones splaying off CRSZ
Extensive gold in till: Gold grain analysis demonstrates significant amounts of gold in till across tenement
Hydrothermal systems: Prospecting identified extensive outcropping quartz and sulphide veining
Vast and largely underexplored
Large footprint: Measures 15km by 4km → larger than Marathon Gold’s entire project footprint
New frontier: Limited exploration work with outdated government maps and no previous drilling

SUBSTANTIAL GOLD ANOMALIES IN LARGE, GEOLOGICALLY COMPLEX TARGET AREA
(1)
==> picture [534 x 365] intentionally omitted <==
Large geochemical anomaly
Extensive till program: Completed sampling program in 2021; followed-up with additional sampling in 2022
Several anomalies identified: Sampling program identified 17 high tenor gold grain anomalies across vast area High number of “pristine” gold grains: Several samples delivered significant gold grain counts that have not travelled far from source
New zones of interest identified: Gold grain anomalies occurring on CRSZ and several kms off it

High-grade and shallow: Approximately 96% of defined resources are deposited less than 150 m below surface
Growth potential: Several areas of high-interested identified for future exploration
Strategic shift
Greenfield potential: Current resource areas present future optionality, focus is on testing extensive belt
Resource update: Company expecting to update the Mineral Resource Estimate in H1 2023
Infrastructure: Road access and close proximity to major sea port
