Executive Summary

Event: Initial drill results from the 2026 drilling program at West Cache Gold Project released on May 21, 2026.
Key Findings: Drill holes WC-26-227, WC-26-234, and WC-26-235 confirmed grade continuity within Zone #9 beneath planned bulk sample stopes. Significant mineralization identified in the South Zone (Upper, Mid, Lower).
Grade Highlights: Intercepts include 5.16 g/t Au over 3.00 m, 5.04 g/t Au over 5.91 m, and 7.77 g/t Au over 1.00 m in the South Zone.
Program Status: Part of a planned 18,000-meter campaign testing down-dip extensions (approx. 450m below surface) and geological controls. Assays pending for deeper holes WC-26-232/233.
Context: Project is located in the Western Porcupine Gold Camp near Pan American Silver's Timmins West Mine. Surface development and box cut excavation were completed in April 2026, transitioning to underground work.

Material Impact

Expectation vs. Reality: The drilling program was announced in February 2026 with the explicit goal of testing extensions and expanding resources. Results confirming continuity are consistent with management's guidance for a bulk sample preparation phase.
Value Add: While Zone #9 continuity was anticipated, the identification of significant mineralization in the South Zone (Upper/Mid/Lower) adds new ounces to the resource envelope that were not fully defined prior to this program. This supports the feasibility study data required post-bulk sample.
Market Reaction Context: The stock has consolidated from January highs ($1.34) to current levels (~$1.08). This news provides fundamental support but does not represent a paradigm shift like the December 2025 financing event. It validates execution rather than introducing new strategic value.
Risk Mitigation: High-grade intercepts (5+ g/t Au) de-risk the bulk sample program, suggesting the material processed will yield strong recoveries and data for future PEA/Feasibility studies.
