Executive Summary

  • BTU Metals Corp. acquired 100% of the Dixie East property adjacent to Kinross’s Great Bear (GBR) project for $26,400 cash, 500,000 BTU shares and a 1 % NSR.
  • The newly acquired land spans ~10 km of east‑trending structural trends that host the world‑class GBR gold deposit and is largely unexplored for LP Fault style gold mineralization.
  • Initial work on the property will commence upon TSXV approval, with further geological modelling and exploration planned.

Key Details

  • Transaction Consideration: $26,400 cash + 500,000 BTU common shares (subject to normal trading restrictions) + 1 % Net Smelter Return royalty to vendor.
  • Property Size & Location: Dixie East lies ~5.5 km east of Kinross’s GBR Dixie project in the Red Lake district, Ontario; covers nearly 10 km of interpreted structural trends.
  • Geological Highlights:
  • Presence of felsic tuffs, sericite schists, quartz‑feldspar porphyry units, shearing zones, quartz veins and sulphide mineralization (Zn, Cu).
  • Similar lithology and deformation to GBR’s LP Fault extension; potential for underexplored gold‑bearing structures.
  • Exploration History: No drilling in the past 30 years on Dixie East; only limited base‑metal drilling near the east limit of the property in early 1990s.
  • Adjacent Interests: BTU holds royalties on other properties within 4.5 km west of Dixie East.
  • Future Plans: Development of a geological model for Dixie East; initial field work to begin after TSXV transaction approval.
  • Kinross Drilling Update (Related): Kinross is executing an ~8,000‑m drill program on BTU’s Dixie Halo property (see BTU press release 2025‑05‑20).

Notable Quotes

“We are excited to have just acquired a new significant gold exploration project not far from the east end of the Great Bear project… we think may include the easterly extension of some of the underexplored large‑scale structures related to the LP Fault gold mineralization.” – Paul Wood, CEO

Qualified Person: Bruce Durham, P. Geo., VP Exploration (NI 43‑101).
