"We believe the Tonopah trend is one of the more compelling gold-silver districts in North America, and we have assembled a district-scale land position, anchored by extensive historical development and a robust modern data set. With two complementary gold-silver systems, multiple drill-ready targets, and an aligned technical and capital markets team, we believe Mogul is well positioned to create value through systematic exploration and discovery."
"Mogul represents exactly the type of opportunity Panorama has been looking for: high-quality assets in a Tier 1 jurisdiction with exciting exploration potential backed by capable, experienced people we trust. The Mogul team has assembled a large, exciting project package surrounded by notable companies and has completed methodical exploration work in one of Nevada's highly prospective gold-silver districts. These precious metal projects with district-scale potential in Tier 1 jurisdictions are increasingly scarce," said Carson Sedun, president, chief executive officer and director of Panorama. "We are excited about the geological potential and prospectivity of this asset package. Equally important, Mogul brings an experienced and highly credible board, and management and technical team with a proven track record in exploration discoveries. We look forward to working together to advance the transaction and the building of a successful exploration company in one of North America's most exciting prospective gold-silver belts."
About Mogul Mountain Ventures Corp.
Mogul is a privately held Nevada-focused gold-silver mineral exploration company advancing the district-scale Rays-West Dome project, located only 12 kilometres north of the town of Tonopah, Nev., in the Walker Lane and Tonopah trend. Nevada is consistently ranked among the world's top mining jurisdictions (second globally in 2024), offering established infrastructure, transparent permitting, year-round project access, and a long history of gold and silver discovery and production.
Mogul has assembled over 5,000 acres across multiple historic mining districts, consolidating the former past-producing Rays and the West Dome mining areas into a single prospective land package. The project benefits from extensive historical development and a robust modern data set, including historic drilling, airborne magnetics, ground-based geophysics, detailed geological mapping, and more than 1,000 soil and rock samples. Mogul is well positioned with exposure to two complementary gold-silver systems: orogenic gold-silver lodes at Rays and a high-level epithermal gold-silver system at West Dome, providing multiple discovery pathways. Mogul is targeting a near-term maiden drill program of up to 5,000 metres, following permitting, to test multiple drill-ready targets across both systems. The company is led by an experienced management team and a board of directors with a strong record of discovery, value creation, mine development and public company leadership, with insiders and close associates holding more-than-50-per-cent ownership, ensuring strong alignment with shareholders.
Rays property -- summary
The Rays property is a cornerstone of Mogul's consolidated Rays-West Dome project, covering approximately 4,700 acres of mineral claims in Nevada's Walker Lane trend. The project encompasses multiple zones of known historical gold-silver mineralization and underexplored structural corridors with significant discovery potential.
Geological and historical context
The Rays area includes several past-producing mines from the early 1900s, operated by the historical Mogul Mining Company and Rays Consolidated Mines, which extracted high-grade gold and silver from quartz vein systems hosted in faulted and sheared Paleozoic rocks. While historical documentation is limited, early accounts reference multiounce-per-ton-silver grades and visible gold in hand specimens. Mogul geologists have identified five major areas of development (Priest, Rays North, Rangefront, Roosevelt and Ibex) on two distinct north-northwest- and north-oriented trends. Numerous additional adits and shafts have also been identified, including: (1) a 1,700-foot development tunnel; (2) three or four major vertical shafts (greater than 500 feet); (3) numerous shafts less than 300 feet deep; and (4) 7,000 feet of underground workings, as well as a camp at the mine site. Even with this strong mineral endowment and historical development, the Rays area has seen no modern exploration drilling, leaving major structural and geologic targets untested.
Mineralization and structural framework
The Rays target hosts orogenic gold-silver mineralization developed in Paleozoic metamorphic and igneous rocks, underneath a Tertiary volcanic package that elsewhere in the district is associated with epithermal systems. Mineralization is structurally controlled by a network of north-striking vertical faults, intersecting with northwest-trending shear zones, including the Rays, Voodoo and Blackmont shears.
These structural intersections provide a favourable setting for the development of quartz-sulphide gold-silver veins and lodes, which appear laterally continuous within the shear zones. The primary structure, known as the Rays shear, extends for several kilometres, and hosts a system of splays and flexures -- ideal sites for deposition of high-grade mineralization. These structures cut various lithologies, including felsic volcanics, intermediate intrusions and metamorphic basement units, with alteration and brecciation consistent with both orogenic and hybrid epithermal mineral systems.
Geochemical results and surface work
The Rays corridor has returned strong gold and silver values in surface rock samples based on mapping and sampling by Mogul's geological team. Results are high grade, with numerous samples exceeding one gram per tonne gold (including samples greater than six g/t and greater than 12 g/t Au). Results also occur along strike and across a wide lateral area, providing evidence for an extensive mineralized system that Mogul intends to drill test. The high-grade rock chip samples are closely aligned with the interpreted shear zones, reinforcing the structural model and providing compelling support for coming drill targeting.
West Dome property -- summary
The West Dome property is a high-priority area within Mogul's consolidated Rays-West Dome project. West Dome lies immediately west/southwest of the Rays property and encompasses an approximately 720-acre claim package, with a history of past exploration and drilling.
Geological setting and target style
West Dome is characterized as a classic low-sulphidation epithermal vein system hosted within a Tertiary volcanic sequence, including andesitic to rhyolitic flows and tuffs. Structurally, the area features west-northwest- and east-northeast-trending veins, often intersecting to form dilation zones and vein swarms -- ideal conditions for the formation of bonanza-style precious metal shoots. Surface mapping has identified quartz veins, stockworks and breccias with epithermal textures, including bladed calcite, silica replacement and clay alteration halos. This target style is analogous to high-grade systems seen elsewhere in the Walker Lane, and is distinct from the structurally deeper, shear-hosted mineralization at nearby Rays.
Historical drilling and intercepts
West Dome is supported by an extensive historical drilling database, comprising more than 37 reverse circulation and diamond drill holes completed between the 1980s and early 2000s. These programs targeted near-surface epithermal vein zones and returned a number of encouraging gold intercepts, including 10.39 grams per tonne gold over five feet (within 7.48 g/t Au over 10 ft), 2.37 g/t Au over 25 ft, 0.85 g/t Au over 50 ft and 0.54 g/t Au over 25 ft.
The historical results confirm the presence of significant epithermal gold mineralization, which remains open along strike and at depth. Mogul intends to build on this foundation by applying modern structural interpretation and geochemical targeting to expand and test these zones through future drilling.
Directors and officers
It is anticipated that the board of directors of the company will comprise a slate of five directors, who will be appointed by Mogul. Upon completion of the proposed transaction, it is anticipated that all the existing directors and officers of Panorama will resign, and the management and board of directors of the resulting issuer will include the persons identified below.
