Gold Hunter signs drill targeting deal with Windfall

Executive Summary

• Gold Hunter Resources Inc. has entered a definitive agreement with Windfall Geotek to deploy AI and machine learning technology to identify high-probability drill targets at its Great Northern project in Newfoundland, aiming to expedite the Q1 2026 drilling campaign.
• The AI platform will integrate recent VTEM Plus airborne survey data with a massive historical database (nearly 500 drill holes and 36,000 soil samples) to generate predictive targets, with final models expected by early January 2026.
• Concurrently, the company amended the terms of its non-brokered private placement announced on Dec. 11, 2025, extending the warrant expiry from 24 months to 36 months from the date of issuance.
