HUNT · Price

Executive Summary

  • Gold Hunter received the final district‑scale VTEM geophysical dataset for its Great Northern project, enabling detailed target definition for a planned drill program.

  • Management announced participation in the Canadian Coast‑to‑Coast Gold Roadshow and highlighted the project’s strategic M&A positioning within Newfoundland’s gold district.

Key Details

  • VTEM Data Acquisition: Final Geotech Ltd. VTEM Plus airborne survey completed across the entire Great Northern district; detailed interpretation pending, with results expected in coming weeks.
  • Drill Program Planning: Immediate focus on refining first‑priority drill targets using VTEM data; aim to launch a preliminary drill program before year‑end, subject to financing, with a two‑phase approach extending catalyst opportunities into 2026.
  • Resource Highlights:
  • Thor deposit – indicated resource of 817,000 t at 1.70 g/t Au and 1.97 g/t Ag (≈51,000 oz Au, 4,200 oz Ag).
  • Historical estimate for Rattling Brook – ~255,000 oz Au (inferred; not current resources).
