Critical Minerals Push Drives High-Grade Exploration in BC's Golden Triangle

Executive Summary

• GoldHaven Resources announced its first drill results at the Copeçal West Target in Brazil, confirming gold mineralization in fresh bedrock with intercepts up to 39 m @ 0.11 g/t Au.
• Several other British Columbia juniors (Scottie Resources, Goliath Resources, Sun Summit Minerals) reported high‑grade gold (and silver/tungsten/copper) drill intercepts and project updates, underscoring a broader sector tailwind from U.S. critical minerals policy.
• Thesis Gold appointed Coille van Alphen to its board as it moves the Lawyers‑Ranch project toward development following a pref­easibility study with an after‑tax IRR of 54.4 % and NPV5% of C$2.37 bn.
