competition. A more detailed discussion of these risk factors is included in the Company’s Prospectus dated January 8, 2021.
During the first quarter of 2020, there was a global outbreak of a novel coronavirus identified as “COVID-19”. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic. In order to combat the spread of COVID-19, governments worldwide have enacted emergency measures including travel bans, legally enforced or self-imposed quarantine periods, social distancing and business and organization closures. These measures have caused material disruptions to businesses, governments and other organizations resulting in an economic slowdown and increased volatility in national and global equity and commodity markets.
Central banks and governments, including Canadian federal and provincial governments, have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of any interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operations in future periods.
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Golden Eagle
On April 17, 2020, the Company purchased 161 mineral claims covering an estimated 8,887 hectares located in south-western Quebec, Canada, known as the Golden Eagle property (“Golden Eagle”). Golden Eagle is located in the Abitibi region approximately 190 kilometers NE of Val-d’Or and 120 kilometers ESE of Lebel-sur-Quévillon (Highways 117 & 113). The mineral claims are located in close proximity to the Urban-Barry Gold Camp.
During the year ended May 31, 2021, the Company incurred $144,497 on Golden Eagle for the completion of a NI43-101 Technical Report and an airborne high-resolution magnetic survey over Golden Eagle. Based on the information provided by this work on Golden Eagle, a surface exploration work plan (“Phase 1”) was drawn up and exploration commenced during June 2021. The goal of this exploration program is to confirm encouraging data received during the winter in-depth geophysical analysis and geoscientific compilation studies and generate potential future exploration targets.
The geological team successfully confirmed the presence of mafic volcanic (greenstone) rocks that contained sulphide-bearing quartz-calcite-chlorite veining. One of the veins sampled consisted of quartzcarbonate-chlorite-pyrite and tourmaline, with trace chalcopyrite in the sheared vein wall. The presence of sulphide-bearing, quartz-calcite-chlorite veined greenstone rocks is encouraging for the Company as it is an important witness of hydrothermal activity and a favourable element often associated with precious and base metal mineralization. It also adds validity to the current geophysical interpretation.
The grassroots exploration work consisted of geological mapping and geochemical sampling of outcrop, B-Horizon soil, and bio-geochemical (spruce twig) sampling.

Panache
On March 19, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 12 mineral claims covering an estimated 678 hectares comprising the Panache property. The claims are located in the Abitibi region approximately 175 kilometres NE of Val d'Or, Quebec and approximately 30 kilometres NW of the Golden Eagle property. Panache is surrounded by mineral claims held by Osisko and Bonterra Resources and is in the vicinity of multiple gold deposits.
The Company paid $25,000 in cash and issued 4,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.06 per share to acquire Panache. Panache is subject to a 2% Net Smelter Returns royalty, which may be reduced to 1% at any time through the payment of $1,000,000.
The Company also incurred $9,953 on Panache for geology, compliance and reporting to May 31, 2021.
During June and July 2021, the Company commenced a grassroots geological mapping and geochemical sampling program consisting of rock samples from outcrop, boulder, B-Horizon soil, and biogeochemical (black spruce twigs) were sampled and sent to the lab for analysis. A second phase of exploration is commenced in August 2021. Once the second phase is complete and the analytical results from the exploration program are received, a NI 43-101 compliant technical report will be commissioned.
