Executive Summary

  • Independence Gold Corp. has filed an updated National Instrument 43-101 technical report for its 3Ts Gold and Silver Project in British Columbia, prepared by SGS Geological Services.
  • The 2025 resource estimate marks a significant project advancement by introducing an Indicated Resource category for the first time, which reduces execution risk and facilitates advanced mine planning studies (prefeasibility/feasibility).
  • The updated model includes the Tommy and Ted-Mint vein systems, as well as the newly discovered Larry, Johnny, and Ian veins, delivering increased tonnage compared to the previous 2022 estimate.

Key Details

  • Report Effective Date: November 12, 2025.
  • Qualified Person: Rohan Millar, PGeo, of SGS Geological Services.
  • Resource Categories:
    • Previous (2022): Inferred resource only (4.47 million tonnes at 3.64 g/t Au and 96.26 g/t Ag).
    • New (2025): Includes Indicated and Inferred categories. The addition of Indicated resources allows for the application of modifying factors to support mine planning.
  • Vein Systems Included:
    • Tommy and Ted-Mint vein systems.
    • Newly discovered Larry, Johnny, and Ian veins.
  • Project Location: Omineca mining division, British Columbia; approximately 185 km southwest of Prince George, B.C.
  • Project Scale: 31 mineral claims covering approximately 35,486 hectares in the Nechako plateau region.
  • Geological Context: Low-sulphidation epithermal quartz carbonate vein district located 16 km southwest of Artemis Gold Inc.'s Blackwater mine.
  • Vein Characteristics: At least 19 known mineralized veins identified, with strike lengths ranging from 50 to over 1,100 metres and true widths up to 32 metres. 12 veins remain untested by drilling.
  • Strategic Impact: The transition to Indicated resources improves the project's investment profile and opens the possibility of defining mineral reserves.

Notable Quotes

  • "This updated estimate has been prepared by SGS Geological Services group within SGS Canada Inc. under the supervision of a qualified person and in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definition standards and NI 43-101. This estimate delivers both increased tonnage and the addition of an indicated resource category, marking a significant progress in project advancement."
  • "The new 2025 model delivers an increase in tonnage and, for the first time, includes an indicated category, opening the possibility of mineral reserves on the property -- a step-change in confidence for both the company and investors."
  • "The addition of the indicated category demonstrates a higher level of confidence, reducing execution risk, improving the project's investment profile and facilitating advanced studies (prefeasibility and feasibility)."
