  • Inaugural Drill Program – Great Northern Project

  • Scope: Up to 10,000 m of drilling across three strategic pillars.
  • Pillar 1 – Regional Exploration (Doucers Valley Fault splays)
    • Targets >50 km of strike potential; AI‑assisted target prioritization using geophysical & geochemical data.
  • Pillar 2 – Thor Deposit & Viking Block Expansion
    • Existing resource (Thor): 879,000 t Indicated @ 1.79 g/t Au (51,000 oz) + 67,000 t Inferred @ 1.97 g/t Au (4,200 oz).
    • Historical high‑grade intercepts:
    • 09‑VK‑23: 27 m @ 7.92 g/t Au (incl. 4.8 m @ 41.7 g/t Au; 0.5 m @ 135.9 g/t Au) from 11 m depth.
    • 09‑VK‑14: 58.70 m @ 2.8 g/t Au from 15.80 m.
    • 10‑VK‑51: 73.50 m @ 0.79 g/t Au from 72.5 m.
    • Planned drilling to test strike/depth extensions and multiple parallel structures (Quartzite, Asgard, Loki, Kramer, Odin’s Triangle).
  • Pillar 3 – Rattling Brook Mineralization

    • Historical estimate: 5.46 M t @ 1.45 g/t Au (≈255,000 oz) – Inferred (Jan 23 2019).
    • No current NI 43‑101 resource; further drilling required to verify/upgrade.
  • Project Scale & Infrastructure

  • Land package: 26,237 ha; >35 km of Doucers Valley Fault strike length; >50 km of fault splays; 18+ known mineralized zones.
  • Access: Road, on‑site hydro power, port facility.

  • Qualified Person Review

  • Technical information reviewed and approved by Rory Kutluoglu, B.Sc., P.Geo., Consulting Technical Lead (Qualified Person under NI 43‑101).
