Northern Lights Minerals - Acquisition Highlights
==> picture [110 x 65] intentionally omitted <==
STRATEGIC LOCATION
Surrounding Benz Mining Corp’s (BZ.TSXV/BZM.ASX) Eastmain Deposit located in the Upper Eastmain Greenstone belt, 320 km northwest of Chibougamau and 800km North of Montreal, Canada.
UNDEREXPLORED
The Upper Eastmain Greenstone Belt is one of several Archean greenstone belts situated within the Canadian Shield. Due to historically perceived remoteness, the region is under explored.
HISTORICAL DISCOVERIES Benz Mining has delivered exploration success on the neighbouring deposit and along strike. Mont Royal endeavours to replicate this success following completion of the proposed acquisition.
EXISTING INFRASTUCTURE
316 km by road from Chibougamau, a mining centre with workforce and processing plants, and an all weather road (Route 167 Nord) allowing year round access to the Eastmain property.
MODERN EXPLORATION
Australian methodologies and techniques deployed at the Eastmain deposit will also be utilised by Mont Royal, including the use of electromagnetic (EM) geophysics.
COMPLEMENTARY PROJECTS
The Northern Lights acquisition assets and the JV assets are complimentary to the Wapatik Gold Copper Project located in the Lower Eastmain region of James Bay.

Tarku Property
==> picture [110 x 65] intentionally omitted <==
-
The property is the eastern extension of the Eastmain Project, with similar geology and contains gold mineralisation distributed along the faults.
-
The area is characterised by presence of several heli-borne TDEM anomalies similar to that explored by Benz Mining at the Eastmain project.

==> picture [110 x 65] intentionally omitted <==
Tarku - Further enhance initial targets defined by NLM
Target 1 Located along the southern contact of the tenements continuing from the heli-borne EM anomalies and Au occurrences on the north-west to south-east of the tenure up to the Ag occurrences
==> picture [824 x 484] intentionally omitted <==
-
The approach used for target generation at the Eastmain project - Benz Mining will be adopted
-
Target 2 Encompasses the strong and large heli-borne EM anomaly located along the contact of the gabbro intrusion
-
Significant in both size and intensity it can be related to highly conductive host rocks.
-
The anomaly associates with pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralisation observed in the outcrops. Detailed prospecting (mapping) and geochem sampling in this area is recommended
Target 3 Extension of the Eastmain deposit mining stratigraphy and shall be explored using the same approach used at the Benz Mining properties. Geochemical Au anomalies on the neighbouring property were identified all the way to the border with Tarku, however the Tarku project was not geochemically surveyed
- Prospecting and detailed mapping, sampling, Electro Magnetic survey and drill-testing of the generated anomalies

Northern Lights – RH Extension - Ni-S Project
==> picture [110 x 65] intentionally omitted <==
-
Ruby Hill Extension (RH Extension) includes several blocks that Northern Lights added to the south of the Benz Mining’s - Ruby Hill East property. This is a Nickel-Sulphide project with the target area encompassing a swarm of a small ultramafic intrusions interpreted from the magnetic data.
-
These ultramafic intrusions potentially represent the magma conduit that forms the feeder system for the large differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusion that spread through the contact of the Northern Light’s (RHE-extension) and Benz Mining's (RHE) tenements.
-
Interpreted feeder system and its inlet at the intrusive complex are the main exploration targets.
-
Limited geochemical or geophysical data on Ruby Hill to date - underexplored with geological mapping largely based on interpretation of the magnetic data.
-
MRZ proposes the following work programs:
-
Prospecting and outcrop mapping./sampling
-
Ground fixed loop EM
-
Testing of the generated drill targets

Focus Graphite – JV to Earn-in to 100%
==> picture [110 x 65] intentionally omitted <==
-
Target 1: Strong EM and Mag anomalies, broad fold suggesting good permeability along the fold related cleavage fan plans. Broadly similar to structural settings of the A,B,C shoots at the EM deposit, with potential also as a Ni-S target.
-
Target 2: Most advanced target from past work, due to the Gossan sampled using trenching. VTEM anomalies are coincident with intercalation of felsic and mafic volcanics. Rock samples (outcrops) returned 0.6 – 0.7 g/t Au. The same stratigraphy hosts high grade Au mineralisation. Sample collected 8.5km South-West along strike returned 25.9 g/t Au.
-
Targets 3 & 4: Focused around the known prospects:
-
Target 3 - To date, best Au grade at the outcrop 6.62 g/t.
-
Target 4 – Exposed quart-sulphide veins, bearing gold mineralisation

==> picture [110 x 65] intentionally omitted <==
-
The property covers the contact between the Bohier Tonalite and felsic to intermediate volcanics of the Eastmain river greenstone belt to the West and with a large Granodiorite pluton to the East.
-
Au-Ag-Cu-Bi mineralized occurrences are contained in and/or in close proximity to a magnetic-low within the Bohier Tonalite.

▪ The magnetic-low area is represented by a tonalite, that locally intensely silicified and demagnetised.
- Further de-magnetized zones are believed to represent alteration zones distributed along the faults (solid blue lines). These also represents the orogenic gold exploration targets.

Exploration Activity
Reprocessing of the historic geophysical data Focussed on airborne VTEM and MAG survey data from the Focus Graphite area (surveyed 2013) and in the Tarku area (surveyed 2015), with the objective of enhancing the earlier identified anomalies and generating the 3D inversion models. Geochemical soil sampling
To be undertaken in the Tarku, CR and Extension tenements areas following the regular sampling grid, similar to that is used at the EM properties of BENZ. Detailed geochemical soil sampling Focusing on earlier identified targets revising them in accordance with the reprocessed geophysical data. IP survey To be undertaken at the Dios Project. EM survey (Airborne & Ground) Fixed loop (or Heliborne VTEM) on the RH Extension & Tarku properties.

Overview - Wapatik Property
==> picture [109 x 73] intentionally omitted <==
-
220 claims totalling 115sq/km in continuous tenure - underexplored with highly limited modern exploration.
-
▪ Located in the James Bay-Eeyou Itchee region, in the lower Eastmain Greenstone belt, part of the La grande Subprovince of the Archean Superior Province, which has been subject to significant exploration activity.
-
▪ The region is host to the Éléonore gold mine (Newmont Corporation NEM.US) and recent Patwon discovery/Elmer .
-
property, with Azimut consolidating the tenure 13km west of the Watapik following the Patwon discovery[1]
-
▪ Lithostructural interpretation completed by Mont Royal and Azimut in May 2021, providing a new higher-fidelity geologic map of the property.
▪ Fieldwork currently underway that will guide the prioritisation of subsequent work ultimately leading to a maiden drill program in late 2021.
▪ Geological formation which hosts Azimut’s Elmer project extends east to west associated with high magnetic/iron formations, with five faults identified on the eastern side of the property.
- The transaction is enabling Mont Royal to deploy its cash position via the earn-in partnership arrangement, whilst leveraging Azimut’s strong technical exploration team, to unlock the full potential of the Wapatik project.
