Executive Summary

  • Sorrento Resources announced the staking of an additional 109 claims (2,725 ha) over the Appleton Fault, expanding the Rodgers Cove Gold Property to a total of 260 claims (6,500 ha), a 72 % increase in land holdings.
  • The expanded land package sits directly on a key structural corridor associated with high‑grade gold deposits at Newfound Gold and is adjacent to the Queensway Expansion Project.
  • A fully funded diamond drilling program is slated to commence in early 2026, following ongoing geochemical and geophysical work scheduled for completion by year‑end 2025.

Key Details

  • Land Expansion: 109 new claims added, bringing total to 260 claims covering 6,500 ha.
  • Geological Significance: New claims overlie the Appleton Fault Zone (AFZ), a major structural control for nearby high‑grade gold deposits (Keats and Iceberg).
  • Adjacency: Claims border Newfound Gold’s Queensway Expansion Project, enhancing regional exploration synergies.
  • Exploration Status: Ongoing geochemical and geophysical programs expected to finish by Dec 2025.
  • Drilling Plans: Fully funded diamond drilling program planned for early 2026 on the newly acquired land package.
  • Historical Context: Prior work includes limited trenching (115.6 g/t Au over 1 m) and surface sampling indicating high‑grade gold potential; no modern geophysical or drilling has been completed to date.
  • Qualified Person: Alex Bugden, P.Geo., CEO/President, reviewed and approved all technical information per NI 43‑101.
