Executive Summary

  • Yorbeau Resources Inc. has commenced an exploration drilling program across three properties in northwestern Quebec: Beschefer, Selbaie West, and Allard.
  • The program involves approximately 5,645 metres of total drilling, with specific objectives to trace the B-26 zone on Beschefer, test continuity of copper/zinc zones on Selbaie West, and follow up on historical drilling on Allard.
  • Initial results from the Allard property indicate multiple multimetre sections of quartz veins with pyrite and arsenopyrite, with approximately 100 gold assays pending.

Key Details

  • Total Drilling Scope:
    • Beschefer property: ~2,545 metres.
    • Selbaie West property: 2,100 metres.
    • Allard property: 1,000 metres.
  • Beschefer Property:
    • Located 9 km southeast of the former Selbaie producer (historical production: 56.9 Mt at 0.87% Cu, 1.85% Zn, 39 g/t Ag).
    • Adjacent to Abitibi Metals Corp. and SOQUEM’s B-26 zone (13.0 Mt indicated at 2.1% CuEq; 12.3 Mt inferred at 2.2% CuEq).
    • Objectives: Trace the B-26 zone near surface and test induced polarization (IP) anomalies along the extension of the B-14 gold zone (2 km to the east).
    • Status: Drilling currently under way; results to be released as available.
  • Selbaie West Property:
    • Located <3 km west of Soquem’s Wagosic property discoveries.
    • Soquem’s Hole 1338-25-087 intersected: 296.9 metres at 1.47% Zn, 0.20% Cu, 0.06 g/t Au, and 18.3 g/t Ag.
    • The Selbaie horizon extends onto Yorbeau’s property for >9 km.
    • Historical context: 2008 drilling identified the Selbaie horizon; 2012 hole SW-12A intersected >20 metres of disseminated mineralization with copper and nickel values in gabbro.
    • 2026 Objective: Assess significance of the copper/nickel intersection in the southwest portion.
    • Status: Drilling begins once permits are obtained.
  • Allard Property:
    • Located 30 km southwest of Matagami, within the western extension of the Casa Berardi corridor.
    • Three drill holes completed in January 2026.
    • Objectives: Test IP anomaly in eastern sector; follow up on 1988 Canamax drilling in central sector.
    • Intersections: Multiple multimetre sections of quartz veins containing pyrite and traces of arsenopyrite.
    • Status: ~100 gold assays pending; results to be released as available.
  • Technical Review:
    • Reviewed by Laurent Halle, PGeo (OGQ 388), senior exploration consultant and Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
