Executive Summary

  • New fall‑2025 sampling programs at Mount Sicker Main Waste Pile, Copper Road, and other projects returned grades that exceed previous surface grid results.
  • Hand/auger digs (30 samples) averaged 3.95 g/t Au, 79.17 g/t Ag, 3.25 % Cu and 5.72 % Zn; continuous channel sampling across a mineralized outcrop averaged 5.6 g/t Au, 122.2 g/t Ag, 6.25 % Cu and 7.7 % Zn.
  • Copper Road grid and vein channel samples returned average copper grades of 0.98 % and 2.36 %, respectively, indicating extensive near‑surface copper mineralization.

  • Additional Project Averages from Prior Grid Programs:

  • Mount Sicker Main Waste Pile (97 samples): 1.86 g/t Au, 48.6 g/t Ag, 1.22 % Cu, 3.05 % Zn; estimated waste volume 250‑350 k tons.
  • Blue Grouse/Sunnyside (60/16 samples): 2.37 % Cu, 12.8 g/t Ag / 4.31 % Cu, 8.91 g/t Ag; estimated waste volume 200‑300 k tons.
  • Santana (61 samples): 0.82 g/t Au, 84.8 g/t Ag, 3.09 % Cu; estimated waste volume 20‑40 k tons.

  • Corporate Context:

  • Focus on extracting high‑grade waste rock while rehabilitating legacy sites and mitigating environmental liabilities.
  • Ongoing engagement with BC Ministry of Energy, Mines & Low Carbon Innovation for permitting and with local First Nations and community stakeholders.

  • CEO Comment (Peter Smith): The recent deeper sampling results are “better than expected,” supporting the economic case for processing Mount Sicker waste rock amid rising metal prices; also announced retirement of long‑time professional engineer Jacques Houle.

Notable Quotes

“This first batch of sample results has proven better than expected… it also appears that the waste itself could have far better grades than we originally thought. This all bodes extremely well for our flagship project at Mount Sicker.” – Peter Smith, CEO
