Historical Company Overview
The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral resource properties.
In March of 2017, the Company entered into two separate letter agreements with J2 Syndicate Holdings Ltd. (the "Syndicate") and its members (the "Optionors") providing the Company with the right to acquire up to a 100% interest in the 13,445.09 (subsequently increased to 16,671) hectare Midas property situated in the Skeena Mining Division of British Columbia and the 9,740 (subsequently increased to 16,399) hectare Empire property situated in the Omineca Mining Division of British Columbia.
A major exploratory program was launched in early summer of 2017 with encouraging results and a comprehensive exploration program was prepared for the summer of 2018. By the end of the 2018 fiscal year, more than $3,500,000 were expended on exploration and drilling activities on the Empire and Midas properties.
The 2018 summer campaign consisted of extensive surface exploration work and multiple drilling targets. The surface exploration included mapping, prospecting, rock and soil sampling and ground geophysics. More detailed structural and alteration mapping and studies were conducted for the purpose of assisting in the understanding on the extent and controls on mineralization and to further define the geologic models. The drilling plan included multiple drill targets, both on Midas and Empire properties. All geochemical sample analyses were received and released in the fall and winter.
In October 2018, the Syndicate and the Company amended the terms of the Company's option on each of the Empire and Midas properties by extending the obligations and payment terms to facilitate the Company to carry on with further exploration work in 2019.
Results obtained during the 2019 exploration work program supported further geophysical and drilling activities to be planned for Midas in 2020 while those for Empire were not as encouraging. Management was uncertain regarding the viability of continuing any major exploration on Empire and all costs incurred on the property were written off in fiscal 2019. However, after further review of data, management and the geological team decided to drill certain identified areas of the property. In September 2020, the Company and the optionors amended the Empire option agreement to keep the agreement in good standing and allowed further exploration and drilling on the property in fiscal 2021.
In November 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with the DSM Syndicate to earn 100% in the Gold Standard property containing 3,961 hectares located in West Central BC.
On October 30, 2020, management and the J2 Syndicate amended the terms of the Midas option agreement to facilitate the Company to continue exploring the property in 2021 and beyond.
To provide funding for exploration work, management closed two non-brokered private placements consisting of both flow-through and non-flow-through units totaling $944,920 during fiscal 2020.

In July 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to earn a 100% interest in DSM's Gold Star property consisting of 238 hectares located in West Central British Columbia.
To continue funding the Company's exploration programs on its optioned properties, in March 2021, management closed two non-brokered private placements for aggregate gross proceeds of $5.3 million.
In December 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement with the J2 Syndicate for an option to earn up to a 100% right, title and interest in and to certain mineral claims situated in the Skeena Mining District in British Columbia, collectively known as the Bingo Property. From December of 2022 to December of 2027, the terms of the agreement provides for a total cash payment of $500,000, incur exploration expenditures of $10,890,000 and the issuance of 3,000,000 shares and 3,000,000 warrants.
At the end of the 2022 exploration season, the Company completed its drilling targets on both the Gold Standard and Gold Star properties and the assays results on all core samples were received in December 2022. After detailed study and analyzing the results using special technical software programs to construct a 3-D model of the underground structure, it was determined that the chance of success was unlikely. Management decided not to fulfill the upcoming obligations under the option agreements and wrote off the deferred exploration expenditures pertaining to the two properties totaling $6,082,993, which includes the $500,000 investment in DSM.
The 2023 exploration program focused on the Midas, Empire and the newly acquired Bingo property. To fund the exploration, in May 2023, management closed a non-brokered flow-through financing in excess of $3 million with Crescat Capital LLC making a strategic investment representing a significant ownership of Juggernaut. While the 2023 drilling results were encouraging, substantial work is still required on all three projects. The results were sufficient for management to meet Bingo's cash call of $500,000 and the issuance of 3,000,000 shares and warrants in December 2023, to maintain the project in good standing.
The 2023 exploration expenditures incurred were in excess of $3.5 million. In December 2023, the Company closed a financing of $1,754,360 to fund the Bingo's cash call and the Company overhead.
In February 2024, the Company invested $550,000 for a 10% interest in the B-All Syndicate ("B-All"). In May 2024, the Company invested a further $165,000 for an additional 3% ownership for a total 13% interest in the syndicate. B-All has identified and is staking mineral claims in an area in northwestern BC extending from the Stewart area to the BC-Yukon border, which are considered to be prospective for discovery of gold, precious, base metals and types of mineralization in deposits of sufficient size and grade to have significant economic potential. Currently, B-All has 130 mineral claims staked with a total area of 82,676 hectares, all in good standing. This investment not only could be financially beneficial, but more importantly, assures the Company of continued access to viable projects for the future.
In May 2024, the Company closed a $1,000,440 financing to provide funding for overhead and general expenditures.
In June 2024, to fund the 2024 exploration program, the Company closed a flow-through financing for $3,799,613.
The 2024 exploration expenditures totalled in excess of $4.5 million and after completion of the 2024 program, results were inconclusive, and further work was required to ascertain the concentration and location of a possible deposit. In November 2024, management closed a flow-through private placement for $1,374,500.
Management and the geological exploration team have reviewed and studied the data and have formulated a working plan for the 2025 exploration season.
In February 2025, management entered into an option agreement with B-All for an option to earn up to a 100% right, title and interest in and to certain mineral claims covering 33,693 hectares in the heart of the Golden Triangle, in British Columbia, collectively described as the Big One Property ("Big One").
Surface observations of mineralization and preliminary testing and sampling have proven the property to contain tremendous potential and investors have supported the Company's deal with B-All in subscribing to the first tranche of the Company's non-brokered private placements of a non-flow-through ($1,000,000) and a flow-through ($7,679,735) financing totalling $8,679,735 closed in May 2025. On June 2, 2025, the company closed the 2nd tranche of the flow-through private placement for gross proceeds of $1,683,000.
On June 17, 2025, the Company closed a non-flow-through private placement for gross proceeds of $1,099,988. In July, 2025, the Company closed another non-flow-through private placement for proceeds of $1,000,000.

During fiscal 2025, management has raised approximately $13,000,000 and the Company is well funded to proceed with a comprehensive exploration program with the Big One project.

Bingo Property
Geology
The Bingo property contains the same geological units and indicated structures as Goliath Resources Ltd. Surebet discovery (Hazelton Volcanics and related sediments which host the mineralized shear zone) including felsic and mafic intrusive rocks of the Coast Plutonic Complex. Mineralization at Bingo includes pyrite, chalcopyrite (Cu), galena (Pb), pyrrhotite, similar to what is observed at Surebet. At Bingo gold rich fluids intruded and altered the host rock in a potential shear zone. Both Bingo Main and Surebet are located on N-S oriented lineaments that intersect prominent NE trending structures. Both properties are within the Eskay Rift known to be a fertile area for mineral deposits in the Golden Triangle. Mineralization at Bingo Main Zone is lithologically controlled within a rusty brown weathering, meta-gabbro unit hosted in sheared volcanic sediments. The gold mineralized horizon is anomalously magnetic allowing the zone to be easily traced along strike and beneath overburden utilizing a ground magnetic survey. The Bingo Main Zone is a drill ready target. Based on regional mapping, the Bingo property is underlain by Lower Hazelton group volcanic rocks, which is the same stratigraphic unit that hosts Goliath Resources Ltd. Surebet Discovery (generated by the J2 Syndicate and currently explored by the same team), Fury Gold Mines's Homestake Ridge deposit and Pretium Resources Inc.'s Brucejack deposit. Additionally, the property is located proximal to the unconformity between the Hazelton and Stuhini Group rocks, also known as the "Red Line," a geological boundary proximal to where many world-class deposits are found within the Golden Triangle. Initial geological observations have supported the untapped potential of this underexplored property. The Bingo property has an area of 989 hectares and is located 45 km SSW of Stewart, BC and 28 km W of Kitsault, and only 12 km to tidewater landing and roads in the historic mining town of Anyox, providing for cost effective exploration.
Historical Exploration
Bingo property has had encouraging results from 2016 to 2018 (83% of all the samples taken contained gold mineralization) over an area of 420 metres x 320 metres. The zone is open on surface and to depth. Historical channel cuts taken between 2016 and 2018 assayed 1.77 gpt Au and 0.20 % Cu over 4.85 metres and 1.48 gpt Au and 0.37 % Cu over 3.2 metres, respectively. During the same period a total of 19 chips samples were collected and assayed up to 9.79 gpt Au and 18 outcrop grab samples that returned assay values ranging from below the detection limit to 1.22 gpt Au. Within this zone, there is also a stratigraphically controlled 7 - 9-metre-wide gold, copper, iron mineralized horizon within a metamorphosed gabbroic unit that has been traced north-south along strike, which remains open on surface and to depth. Most channel and chip sample were cut normal to the strike of a gossanous meta-gabbro unit (hosted within volcanic sediments) which is believed to host the mineralization. The meta-gabbro unit dips moderately to the west and thus true thicknesses are estimated to be 50-70% of channel or chip sample length.

2022 Exploration
The 2022 field program on the Bingo property located within the Eskay Rift region of the Golden Triangle, British Columbia. Channel and Grab samples assaying up to 7.39 gpt Au were collected along the Bingo Main Zone which was extended from 320 m by 175 m to 550 m by 175 m. This season's surface grab and soil sampling, ground magnetic survey, and drone survey together with the historic data compiled by the geologic team strongly indicate the presence of an extensive gold-mineralizing system on the Bingo property that is drill ready and remains open. The Company is planning an inaugural drill program in 2023 comprising up to 2000 m of drilling from up to 4 pads. The zone is open both on strike and to depth.
2023 Exploration
The 2023 maiden drill program comprising 1017 meters over 7 drill holes on the Bingo discovery confirmed strong gold-silver-copper mineralization on the Bingo Main outcrop to a depth of 40 meters that remains open, leaving over $90\%$ of the known mineralized corridor untested. The similarities to Bingo and Goliath resources Surebet discovery are notable.

A secondary vein was discovered in outcrop 400 m to the northeast of Pad 1 where two grab samples assayed 7.39 gpt Au and 5.93 gpt Au, respectively. The outcrop is partially covered by overburden, but structural measurements indicate a similar orientation to the main mineralized vein. Both samples collected from this outcrop consist of strongly altered, crackled intrusive with up to 5 % chalcopyrite and 10 % pyrite. A third vein is outcropping 250 m southeast of Pad 1. Furthermore, of note is a float sample collected just west of the main outcrop which assayed 13.4 gpt Au and consists of strongly altered and vuggy intrusive rock with 15 % galena and 1 % chalcopyrite and considerable amounts of jarosite.
2024 Exploration
Results from the Bingo drill campaign assayed up to 1.68 g/t AuEq (1.08 g/t Au and 3.97 g/t Ag) over 2.65 meters intersected in hole BI-24-09 from the Bingo Main Zone. A number of holes contain anomalous gold values ranging from 0.19 g/t AuEq to 1.11 g/t AuEq (see table below). The remainder of the holes drilled along strike of the shear zone at the Bingo Main Zone have returned results that are currently not considered significant. All drill holes completed to date contain anomalous values of gold.

2025 Exploration – Moving Forward
The compilation and interpretation of all project data remain ongoing, and they are focused on delineating future drill targets.
Midas Property
Location and Infrastructure
The Midas Property is located approximately 24 kilometers southeast of Terrace, British Columbia, in the Skeena Mining Division and covers an area of 21,332.5 hectares. The property boundary is 14 kilometers east of a major highway and power line, and is locally road accessible. The topography consists of rugged alpine to sub-alpine topography, elevating up to 1,600 meters.
Geology
The Midas Property is underlain regionally by the Paleozoic Mount Attree (324 to 325 Ma) and Mesozoic Telkwa formations (204-205.5 Ma) and are part Stikine assemblage of Stikinia. The Uppermost Triassic-Lower Jurassic rocks of the Telkwa Formation (Hazelton Group) unconformably overlie the Mt. Attree Formation older rocks and are in turn overlain by upper Hazelton. Small Early Jurassic intrusions of the Kleanza Pluton have been recognized in the northern part of Midas. The Eocene Williams Creek Pluton (granodiorite) is located in the western part of the property and crosscuts the Telkwa and Mt. Attree Formations.
The King Solomon Trend (formerly the Solomon Trend) is located in the central part of the Midas Property within the Mt. Attree Formation. It is defined by a series of altered and gossanous metavolcanic dominated sequences, measuring 2.1 kilometers by 1.6 kilometers. Unaltered intermediate to mafic metavolcanic sequences are dominant, and range from fragments and volcaniclastics to massive, porphyritic, and pillow flows. Felsic metavolcanics are more prominent along the outer alteration boundaries and are generally fragmentals, ranging from tuff to tuff breccia. There are a series of thin, pre-deformational and younger felsic (felsite, quartz to quartzfeldspar porphyry) and intermediate to mafic (andesite to basaltic andesite) dykes and sills. Although younger, these dyke and sill-like bodies are interpreted to have formed with the emplacement of the volcanic sequences. The younger Williams Creek Pluton crosscuts both metavolcanics and metasediments, and in turn, are cross-cut by diabase and gabbroic dykes and biotite-rich lamprophyres. The geochemical nature of these volcanic assemblages, with the recognition of a volcanic center/synvolcanic dykes and sills, suggest these formed in an arc-related tectonic setting. The area was later subject to regional low to medium grade greenschist metamorphism as well locally higher-grade contact metamorphism by the emplacement of the Williams Creek Pluton.
Work by the British Columbia Geological Survey (McKeown et al., 2008) concluded that the alteration and mineralization observed on the Midas property is consistent with a Kuroko-style volcanogenic massive sulphide (VHMS) system. VHMS-related alteration and mineralization has been overprinted by both orogenic and regional deformation resulting in the emplacement of foliation-parallel veins and structurally controlled remobilization and enrichment of prior mineralization. The Tulsequah Chief deposit has similar characteristics to the King Solomon Trend with respect to host rock and age, alteration, and metallogeny of the deposit. However, structural controls vary.
Historical Exploration
Placer gold was first recovered in the Terrace area as early as 1884 with the first mineral claims staked and recorded in 1893 (Kindle - 1937). At the turn of the century, minerals containing gold, silver, copper, located lead, zinc, molybdenum, and tungsten were found in deposits on Thornhill and Kleanza mountains a few miles east and southeast of Terrace (Kindle - 1937). The primary target was small and high-grade precious and base metal-quartz-sulphide veins in the Telkwa Formation, with Au, Ag, Mo, Cu, Zn, Pb and W being recovered from various small underground and placer operations (Kindle, 1937). A summary of the historical exploration completed on the Midas property and Terrace area is provided in Table 1.

| 36907 | King Solomon Trend | A SkyTEM 312M aerial electromagnetic (EM) and magnetics survey totaling 733-line kilometers, delineated several EM and MAG anomalies throughout the Midas property. Surficial exploration work consisted of mapping and alteration studies, as well as prospecting and a wide range of rock and soil sampling. A total of 1000 rock samples were collected, with 472 grabs/chip samples and 528 channel / channel grab samples. A total of 1004 soil samples and 214 talus fines were collected. Gold results from the grab, chip, and channel sampling returned values up to 88.9 g/t Au, 315 g/t Ag, 8.19% Cu, 7.74% Pb, and 11.05% Zn. Mean gold value of the soil and talus fine samples is 27 ppb (median value of 10 ppb and an SD of 265). Background Au in soil in this area is less than 10 ppb. Additional work included acquisition and interpretation of high-resolution satellite imagery and completion alteration/petrographic study. | ||
| J2 Syndicate/Juggernaut Exploration | 2016 | 36876 | King Solomon Trend | 272 rocks were collected that identified and confirmed four zones within the King Solomon Trend; VG Zone (former Barresi Showing), Sheba Zone, Tut Zone and the Sleeping Giant Zone.

Recent Activities
2018 Exploration Work
An option agreement was reached between J2-Syndicate Holdings Ltd and Juggernaut Exploration Ltd in 2018. Extensive exploration was conducted in 2018 with detailed geological mapping, prospecting, grab/chip sampling, channel sampling, and soil sampling. A 10.6-line kilometer, ground TITAN-24 DCIP and Spartan MT IP survey was commissioned to by Quantec Geoscience Ltd. During the surface exploration work which led to multiple drill targets was followed-up with diamond drilling. A total of 1977 meters of drilling was completed in 16 diamond drill holes which intersected several polymetallic mineralized zones.
Detailed mapping on the VG Zone revealed the host rocks are brecciated and silicified-(sericitic) andesitic to basaltic andesite (intermediate) tuffs. The VG Zone consists of a simple north-north-east trending quartz-sulphide vein, which has been outlined for approximately 23 meters. Thickness varies from 0.10 meters to 1.4 meters thickness and dips vary from shallow to vertical to the southeast.
A total of 557 rock samples (including standards/blank samples) were analyzed, with 293 grabs/chip samples and 264 channel samples. Both an expansion and in-fill soil sampling program (146 soil samples) was completed over the southeastern part of the King Solomon Trend. Gold results from the grab, chip, and channel sampling returned values ranging up to 71.7 g/t Au, 1385 g/t Ag, 6.19% Cu, 1.9% Pb, and 16.05% Zn. Results from the soil sampling confirm the extension and continuity of anomalous Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, and Zn dispersion anomalies. Channel sampling concentrated in two areas of the Solomon Trend:
1) Hydrothermal Breccia Area - A total of 6 extensive channels were completed in a north-south trending silicified-sericitic-pyritic crackle breccia which has been outlined for approximately 200 meters, thickness up to 30 to 50 meters, close to true thickness. There are numerous deformed quartz-sphalerite veinlets comprising of thin quartz-sulphide stockwork within this breccia. Highlight grades from channel sampling include 0.15 g/t Au over 21.86 meters with surface grabs/chip samples returning up to 71.7 g/t Au, 1385 g/t Ag, 0.54% Cu, 0.09% Pb, and 2.52% Zn.
2) VG North Zone – An estimated 7 channel cuts were completed in this area. The channels were designed to both in-fill and verify and confirm gold-bearing galena mineralization in both quartz-sulphides veinlets and silicified zones. The host rock is massive to pillow basaltic to basaltic andesite metavolcanics. Highlights include 16.9 g/t Au, 15.5 g/t Ag from grab and chip samples with no significant gold values from the channel sampling.
A ground TITAN-24 DCIP and Spartan MT IP survey was completed by Quantec Geoscience Ltd over the King Solomon Trend. A total of six (6) conductive zones and five (5) chargeable anomalous zones were outlined and described by Quantec.
An inaugural drill program was completed on multiple targets along the King Solomon Trend. It is highlighted by diamond drill hole MD-18-08, which intersected 6.85 g/t Au over 9.0 m between 35.0 and 44.0 meters down-hole (Table 2). This shallow gold mineralization is believed to be peripheral and marginal to a deeper and strong IP chargeability source, located ~125 meters below the surface. This buried chargeability source underlies an area under drill hole MD-18-16, which is situated 150 meters north of hole MD-18-08. Drill hole MD-18-16 intersected 0.21 g/t Au (0.55 g/t AuEq) from 1.5 to 36.85 meters down-hole. The 2018 drilling targeted eight surface targets identified within the extensive King Solomon Trend. All 16 drill holes on Midas intersected gold and polymetallic mineralization and 25% of the drill holes returned significant intercepts of gold and polymetallic mineralization. A summary of the drill highlights are provided in Table 2.

2019 Exploration
After the success of the 2018 field program, a 2,548m, 9-hole diamond drill program was completed within the King Solomon Zone to test geological and geophysical drill targets generated from the 2018 field season. EarthEx geophysics carried out a historical compilation of the geophysical data collected on the Midas property and provided new inversion models and interpretation of the IP, EM and Mag survey data. Several IP and EM targets were generated and three of these targets were tested. Highlights of the drilling results from this program are provided in Table 3.

2020 Exploration
The short 2020 field program focused on testing structures in the Gazelle Region of the Midas property immediately South of the King Solomon Trend. New targets generated through evaluation of LiDAR data obtained in 2018 in combination with strong geophysical signatures were prospected. A total of 13 samples were collected and results ranged from background to 0.17 gpt Au with one sample containing 0.13 % Cu and 0.60 % Cu. Integration of the 2020 geochemical and structural field data coupled with additional compilation and interpretation of all data will provide a better understanding of the King Solomon Trend. The planned BLEG technique program for the summer of 2021 will help define further strong drill targets for the summer of 2022.
2021 Exploration
A new outcrop was discovered with strong indications for an Eskay-style Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) target. This newly discovered outcrop named Kokomo contains high grade gold-silver polymetallic mineralization in semi-massive to massive sulphides where a 1 m chip sample assayed 9.343 gpt Au, 117 gpt Ag, 1.58 % Cu and 1.77 % Zn. This newly discovered outcrop is located 700 m in the headwaters of a drainage where a Bulk Leach Extractable Gold (BLEG) stream sediment sample assayed 29 ppb Au, 613 ppb Ag, 137 ppm Cu, 54.4 ppm Pb and 462 ppm Zn in 2021. The outcrop is 5 m wide and strikes on surface for 30 m and remains open in all directions where outcrops of the same or similar lithology extend over several hundred meters. The new Kokomo showing consists of pyrite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite and coincides with a linear magentic-high feature and a low conductivity signature in the Induced Polarization (IP). The host rock is a rhyolitic tuff characterized by strong phyllic alteration (quartz-sericite-pyrite).
2022 Exploration
The Midas property's 2022 field crew prospecting and mapping with the goal of expanding the known footprint of the Kokomo showing was successful in preparation for the planned maiden drilling in 2023. Bulk Leach Extractable Gold (BLEG) samples collected during the 2022 exploration program on Midas returned significant gold values from 24.31 ppb Au to 107.35 ppb Au within an area measuring 650 meters by 200 meters located immediately southeast of the Kokomo showing. The elevated concentration of high grade BLEG samples in this area coupled with multiple other lines of evidence confirmed to date strongly indicates the presence of an extensive buried gold source. Surface sampling of outcrops over $1.1\mathrm{km}$ contain assays up to 0.80 gpt Au and 19.55 gpt Ag. This hypothesis is further supported by the relatively shallow Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability and resistivity anomaly at depth that extends under the Kokomo showing for 120 meters by 150 meters and remains open to the South and East conducive for semi-massive to massive sulphides like those confirmed at surface on Kokomo. Alteration zones extracted from recently acquired Worldview 3 satellite spectral data shows a strong silica, iron and phyllic alteration signature coinciding with the Kokomo showing and the area where high-grade BLEGs were collected, further indicating the presence of a mineralized VHMS system at depth.
2023 Exploration
All three holes collared from Eskay 1 Pad located at the transition from the VG Zone to the Kokomo Zone have intersected considerable gold-copper-zinc mineralization and are characterized by copious amounts of chalcopyrite and pyrite in aggregates, stringers, and veinlets within a strongly altered volcanic host rock indicating close proximity to an Eskay-style Volcanogenic Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) deposit. The 2023 drill results in combination with results from previous years indicate an extensive north-south gold-copper-zinc rich mineralized trend that remains open extending for $550\mathrm{m}$ by $300\mathrm{m}$ from Eskay 1 Pad to the Kokomo showing on strike with a large relatively shallow Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability and resistivity anomaly. The gold and base metals component clearly increased towards the Kokomo showing, strongly indicating proximity to the heart of a VHMS deposit.

Alteration zones extracted from Worldview 3 satellite spectral data show a strong silica, iron and phyllic alteration (quartz-sericite-pyrite) signature overlapping the Kokomo showing and the 550 meter trend immediately to the south coinciding with the IP anomaly in the subsurface, further indicating the presence of a mineralized VHMS system at depth.
2024 Exploration
The 2024 drill campaign at the Kokomo Volcanogenic Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) target where drill hole MD-24-47 intercepted 8.27 g/t AuEq (6.21 g/t Au, 99.63 g/t Ag, 0.42 % Cu, and 1.08 % Zn) over 11.03 m and remains open to depth and to the North on the 100 % controlled Midas property. Strong gold values, as well as sulphide mineralization consistent with what is typically observed in proximity of an Eskay-style VHMS system in the form of moderate, semi-massive and/or massive chalcopyrite, sphalerite and pyrite hosted in a quartz-sericite-chlorite schist strongly indicates the potential for a VHMS deposit at depth.

2025 Exploration - Moving Forward
The Integration of data is currently ongoing. Future drill plans will focus on expanding this discovery to depth and on-trend to the North, where the high-grade mineralization remains open.
Empire Property
Location and Infrastructure
The Empire Property is located approximately 40 kilometers northeast of Terrace, British Columbia, in the Skeena Mining Division. Its boundary is 8 kilometers from a major highway and power line and is locally road accessible. The Empire property covers an area of 14,141 hectares in mountainous terrain with elevations ranging from 700m to 2,400 m.
- 18 -
Geology
The Empire Property is predominantly underlain by the Telkwa Formation (part of the Hazelton Group), as part of the Paleozoic to Mesozoic Stikine assemblage of Stikinia. It is characterized by felsic to intermediate metavolcanics, dominated by fragments with minor flows that have undergone sub-greenschist metamorphism. The northern portion of the property is underlain by sedimentary rock of the Lower Jurassic Nikitkwa, Smithers, and Quock Formations. They overlie the Telkwa Formation and represent the waning stages of volcanism and deeper water erosion. The Empire property is characterized as an extensive system of polymetallic veins, hosted primarily within intermediate volcanic rocks of the Lower Jurassic Telkwa Formation.
Historical Exploration
Very little historical exploration work was conducted on the Empire property prior to 2016 (Table 1). Regional geochemical reconnaissance work by the British Colombia Geological Survey identified a stream sediment sample with anomalous gold (201 ppb Au) on the property. A summary of the historical exploration within the Empire property is provided in Table 1.

Recent Activities
2018 Exploration
In 2018, an option agreement was reached between J2-Syndicate Holdings Ltd and Juggernaut Exploration Ltd. Extensive exploration was conducted in 2018 with detailed and regional geological mapping, prospecting and grab/chip sampling, and channel sampling. A ground TITAN-24 DCIP and Spartan MT IP 10.85-line kilometer survey was commissioned to by Quantec Geoscience Ltd over multiple target areas. A follow-up diamond drill program was commenced during field exploration and a total of 3209 meters of drilling was completed in 18 drill holes. A total of 651 rock samples were collected, with 590 grabs/chip samples and 59 channel samples, including standards/blank samples. A total of 42.09 meters of channel sampling in 23 channel cuts were completed and channel grabs were also collected.
Gold results from the grab and chip sampling returned values up to 350 g/t Au, 8090 g/t Ag, 20.9% Cu, 10.25% Pb, 26.10% Zn. Channel sampling concentrated on Rockstar, Metalback, J-Bear, and Breccia zones. Although significant copper (up to 3.53% Cu) and silver (up to 41.4 g/t Ag) values were attained, only anomalous gold (up to 0.75 g/t Au), lead (up to 0.01% Pb), and zinc (0.04% Zn) were attained.
An inaugural drill program was completed on multiple targets at Rockstar, Big One. Drill results at Rockstar are highlighted by diamond drill hole EM-18-08, which intersected 1.37 g/t Au, 3.25 g/t Ag, and 0.51% Cu (2.18 g/t AuEq) over 15.4 meters from 5.00 to 20.40 metres. The zone and IP related anomalies remain open in both directions. Widespread exploratory drilling at Rockstar did not explain the source of the extensive gold and polymetallic mineralization on surface, except for a gold-copper intercept in drill hole EM-18-08. This intercept, in conjunction with mineralization in drill-hole EM-18-06 and EM-18-09, correlates well with the IP chargeability anomaly at this location. The highlights from the 2018 drill program are presented in Table 2.

2019 Exploration
A historical compilation and re-interpretation of the geophysical work completed on the Empire property by Earth Ex Geophysics. Their work also included generating a 3D-inversion of the 2018 IP to define potential drill targets on the Rockstar Zone. Three IP targets were delineated and ground truthed prior to diamond drilling. The 2019 drilling program on Empire focused on testing two targets within the Rockstar zone generated from the 2018 surficial grab samples and IP survey. EM-19-19 tested a near surface IP anomaly and did not intersect any significant mineralization, the anomaly remains to be unexplained. The final hole (EM-19-20) intersected 4.7m of 1.173% Cu with 0.114 g/t Au from the top of the hole but it did not continue at depth. This hole tested the extent of mineralization within a Quartz-Chalcopyrite breccia.
2020 Exploration
A short field program in 2020 consisted on follow up prospecting and mapping on the Goldworks and Metallica zones within the Inca Trend of the Empire Property. The Goldworks zone was discovered in 2018 and consists of quartz veins with grab samples assaying up to 350 gpt Au (10.23 ounces per tonne gold.) Several North-South, steeply dipping veins have been identified in the area during the 2020 field program. Ten grab samples and two channel samples from these veins returned assays ranging from background to 8.70 gpt Au suggesting the presence of a feeder system at depth. In 2016 the Company reported a grab sample from the Metallica zone containing 36,875 gpt Ag (1180 ounces per tonne silver with 4.68 gpt Au, 26.5 % Cu and 3.27 % Zn) from a massive sulphide vein. A channel cut from the same vein done in 2017 returned 22,694 gpt Ag (729.63 ounces per tonne silver with 26.4 % Cu and 2.80 % Zn). Gold grades up to 16.4 gpt Au have also been reported in the Metallica zone. In 2020 the geologic team completed additional detailed mapping in the Metallica zone in preparation for a future inaugural drill program. Ongoing compilation of the datasets, including LiDAR, SkyTEM, ground IP and MT, airborne magnetic surveys, geological mapping, alteration studies, and chip/grab/channel sample assay data, will be utilized to vector future drilling on a potential feeder source at depth believed to be the source of the extensive high-grade gold and polymetallic mineralization confirmed on surface on the Empire Property.
2021 Exploration
A BLEG sampling campaign was carried out on the Empire property targeting creeks draining from the Colossus and Big One geophysical anomalies. Samples returned assays ranging from 0.46 ppb Au and 0.058 gpt Ag to 5.98 ppb Au and 0.519 gpt Ag.
2022 Exploration
Compilation of extensive datasets have been completed in preparation for the inaugural drill program in 2023 on the Metallica zone that returned up to 36,875 gpt Ag, 4.68 gpt Au, 27.6% Cu and 3.27% Zn. LiDAR, SkyTEM, ground IP and MT, airborne magnetic surveys, geological mapping, alteration studies, geochemistry, drill data, chip/grab/channel data as well as the recently collected BLEG stream sediment data, have been utilized to target
the feeder source at depth believed to be the extensive high-grade gold and polymetallic mineralization confirmed on surface on the Empire Property.
2023 Exploration
Drilling at the Metallica Zone on the Empire property didn't return significant assay results. Additional detailed data compilation, interpretation and modeling is required to determine the extent and distribution of the gold mineralization on the Empire property and understand its remaining gold potential.
2025 Exploration Plans – Moving Forward
The technical team initiated a desk-based study to further understand the widespread high-grade mineralization discovered at the surface. However, no major drilling was performed due to budget constraints in 2024. Management is still studying and analyzing all current data to determine action on the property for 2025.
Big One Property
Location and Infrastructure
The Big One property can be accessed year-round via helicopter from the Glenora/Telegraph Creek Road at the Barrington Mine (33 km to the north-northeast) as well as the Galore Creek Road (15 km to the southeast). The Canadian government committed $20 M to extend/improve the Galore Creek Road to within 15 km of the Big One property. The property is 2 km west of the Scud River airstrip used in the early days of Galore Creek.

Geology
The Big One property is situated in a region that is well known for hosting world class precious metal and porphyry deposits, several of which occur near the property including the multiple Tier 1 porphyry systems at Galore Creek (12,159 million pounds of copper, 9.438 million ounces of gold, 174.086 million ounces of silver), the world's largest known gold reserve at KSM (47.3 million ounces of gold, 160 million ounces of silver, 7.32 billion pounds of copper) and the polymetallic copper project at Shaft Creek (5 billion pounds of copper, 3.7 million ounces of gold, 16.4 million ounces of silver), as well as the Brucejack high-grade epithermal gold deposit (14 million ounces of gold, 91.8 million ounces of silver), and the structurally controlled high-grade hydrothermal gold-silver zones at Trophy and Sphal Creek. The property geology is favorable to host these types of deposits as confirmed by the presence of extensive areas of propylitic alteration, untested geophysical anomalies, strong silt, soil and rock geochemistry including path finder elements directly related to porphyry systems, key structures and textures, porphyry-style mineralization, and high-grade polymetallic veins, that have been discovered within the Big One claims.
2025 Exploration Plans – Moving Forward
The focus of the 2025 exploration program is to sample and trace in detail the full geometry of the multiple drill-ready high-grade gold veins, as well as identify additional drill targets for the planned 2026 maiden drill program. The 2025 exploration program will consist of detailed mapping and systematic sampling and channel cutting of the 5 drill-ready targets that remain open, namely, the Whopper vein (8 m wide with grades up to 13.12 g/t Au and 169.88 g/t Ag), the Big Mac vein (4 m wide with grades up to 37.98 g/t Au and 70.37 g/t Ag), the Giant vein (1.5 m wide with grades up to 5.06 g/t Au and 91.41 g/t Ag), the Deluxe vein (45 cm wide with grades up to 12.12 g/t Au and 2084.61 g/t Ag), the Double Decker vein (50 cm wide with grades up to 19.82 g/t Au and 216.65 g/t Ag).

Exploration and development expenditures are deferred until properties are brought into production; at which time they will be amortized on a unit of production basis. If properties are sold, impaired or abandoned, the deferred cost will be written off.
In 2022, the net loss and comprehensive loss was considerably lower than in previous and subsequent years. One main reason was the lack of recognition of share-based compensation as almost nil stock options were granted.
In 2023, management terminated the Gold Standard and Gold Star projects and wrote off $6,082,993 in exploration and evaluation assets resulting in the substantial net loss and comprehensive loss. The write down in exploration deferred costs also decreased significantly the total assets. In excess of $3.5 million was incurred on exploration during 2023, which depleted cash lowering working capital from 2022.
In 2024, no property write-offs were recorded but general operating expenses increased significantly from previous years. Most of the higher expenses were in corporate development and financial consulting with these two items totalling almost $860,000. Greater marketing efforts were required in order to raise the necessary capital.

Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Adopted or Expected to be Adopted:
Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle or remove the underlying asset.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate.
The Company has elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term lease of assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, such as IT equipment. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with the leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Accounting pronouncement not yet adopted
Accounting pronouncements with future effective dates are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company's significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 3 of its interim financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2025. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to select accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that may have a significant impact on the financial statements.
The Company regularly reviews its judgements and estimates; however, actual amounts could differ and, accordingly, materially affect the results of operations.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures used for the financial statements and MD&A as at June 30, 2025. Although certain weaknesses such as lack of segregation of duties are inherent with small office operations, management has implemented certain controls such as frequent reviews and regular preparations of reconciliations of transactions and budgets to ensure absence of material irregularities. Management has concluded that the disclosure controls are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed has been made known to it in a timely manner. The required information was effectively recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period necessary to prepare the annual filings. The disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure effective information required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable securities laws are accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Risk Factors
The Company is engaged in the exploration for and development of mineral deposits. These activities involve significant risks which careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not, in some cases, eliminate. The commercial viability of any material deposit depends on many factors not all of which are within the control of management. Some of the factors that affect the financial viability of a given mineral deposit include its size, grade and proximity to infrastructure. Government regulation, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, environmental protection and reclamation and closure obligations, have an impact on the economic viability of a mineral deposit.
The discovery, development and acquisition of mineral properties are in many respects unpredictable events. Future metal prices, capital equity markets, the success of exploration programs and other property transactions can have a significant impact on capital requirements.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to the properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of the same, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title to these properties. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
The Company has no significant source of operating cash flow and no revenues from operations. The Company's ability to meet its obligations and maintain its current operations through the ensuing twelve month period and thereafter is contingent upon successful completion of additional financing agreements and ultimately upon the discovery of proven reserves and generating profitable operations.
The Company's properties are in the exploration stages only and are without known bodies of commercial mineralization and have no ongoing mining operations. Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Exploration of properties may not result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of mineralization. If the Company's efforts do not result in any discovery of commercial mineralization, the Company could be forced to look for other exploration projects or cease operations.
The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of the properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest. The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to its current properties that may result in material liability to the Company.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
- 30 -
Annual losses are expected to continue until the Company has an interest in a mineral property or project that produces revenues. The Company's ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon the continued support of its shareholders, obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. The Company's accompanying financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
The Company's operations are within Canada with all of its expenses being incurred in Canadian dollars. Therefore, currency risk is minimal.
Any forward-looking information in this MD&A is based on the conclusions of management. The Company cautions that due to risks and uncertainties, actual events may differ materially from current expectations. With respect to the Company's operations, actual events may differ from current expectations due to economic conditions, new opportunities, budget change priorities of the Company and other factors.
