Executive Summary

  • Coast Copper Corp. has acquired three new mineral properties (Goldfinger, Thunderball, and Moonraker) via staking in the Toodoggone mining camp of north-central British Columbia, totaling approximately 18,683 hectares.
  • Combined with the previously acquired Borealis property, these claims form a continuous 90-kilometre exploration belt along the western side of the Toodoggone camp, positioning the company as the largest recent acquirer of new claims in the region.
  • The acquisition is driven by geological and geophysical data indicating favorable porphyry Cu-Au-Mo settings extending westward than previously mapped, with plans to conduct a detailed airborne magnetic survey once weather permits.

Key Details

  • Properties Acquired: Goldfinger, Thunderball, and Moonraker properties.
  • Total Acreage: ~18,683 hectares across the three new properties.
  • Strategic Positioning: Forms a continuous 90-km belt along the western Toodoggone camp; combined with the eastern-side Loren and Northern Contact properties, the company's total Toodoggone holdings now cover ~21,156 hectares.
  • Goldfinger Property: Encompasses a >30 km northwest-southeast trend (6,994 ha) alongside Hi-View Resources' Golden Stranger and Lawyer targets; features favorable volcanics, magnetic highs/lows extending south to Borealis.
  • Thunderball Property: Covers a 25 km northwest-southeast trend (4,594 ha) along the western and southern edge of Centerra Gold's Kemess mine; includes favorable magnetic highs and structures south of Borealis.
  • Moonraker Property: Encompasses a 25 km west-east trend (7,095 ha) wrapping around NorthWest Copper Corp.'s East Niv property; underlain by favorable volcanics, stream sediment anomalies, airborne magnetic highs, and alteration zones.
  • Exploration Rationale: Driven by regional geology, airborne magnetics, historical assessment reports, and satellite imagery suggesting favorable porphyry intrusions/volcanics extend further west than regionally mapped, often under thin younger sedimentary and/or glacial cover.
  • Next Steps: Company plans to conduct a detailed airborne magnetic survey as soon as weather conditions allow.
  • Qualified Person: Wade Barnes, PGeo (British Columbia), Geological Consultant and Qualified Person per NI 43-101.
