Drill results at a glance
McKenzie Gold Project | Red Lake, Ontario
A Well-Mineralized Gold System in a World Class Camp
Shallow and Open
The first 30 holes established nearly 500 m of mineralized strike, from surface to 300 m depth. The zone is trending north and northwest across Perch Lake.
Two Mineralization Styles
High-grade quartz veins carrying visible gold occur within broad 1 g/t Au intercepts through the intrusives.
Access and Neighbours
~4 km west of Hasaga, near ground held by Evolution, Equinox and West Red Lake Gold. Paved roads and an existing power line serve the district.

Perch Zone 2020-21 Discovery
The Perch Zone Discovery
Maiden drilling in 2020-21 resulted in a significant Red Lake discovery
The Perch Zone discovery combines narrow, high-grade gold assays with lengthy intercepts averaging around 1 g/t Au extending into the intrusives.
27 of 30
90% success rate
Of the first 30 holes drilled in the Perch Zone in 2020-2021, 27 returned at least one reported intercept at or above 1 g/t Au.

Counts include separately reported overlapping intercepts and higher-grade intercepts; they are not additive or independent zones. Length thresholds are cumulative. Reported lengths are downhole, not true widths. Historical 2020–2021 results; no current mineral resource estimate. Hasaga Property Mineral Resource Statement, effective 30 June 2024: indicated 1,470 kt @ 8.64 g/t Au for 408 koz; inferred 2,059 kt @ 7.31 g/t Au for 484 koz, at a 4.0 g/t Au cut-off.

Source: Review of publicly available historical and modern drill results in the Red Lake Gold District. Reported intervals are generally core/downhole lengths and may not represent true widths. The review is not an exhaustive audit of every historical drill assay in the district. Third-party results have not been verified by the Company's QP. Mineralization on nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at McKenzie.

Indicated: 1.47 Mt for 408 koz Au. Inferred: 2.06 Mt at 7.31 g/t Au for 484 koz.
The Perch Zone discovery returned broad gold mineralization with narrower high-grade sections, similar in reported length and grade to selected early drill results at nearby Hasaga.
Size and scope of mineralization at Hasaga is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at McKenzie. Selected intercept comparisons do not establish comparable deposit size, continuity or economic potential.

Establishing consistent mineralization north, northwest and west of Perch Lake offers significant upside.
Additional Zone of Interest
McKenzie Island — Additional Mineralized Zone
331.14 g/t Au
Historical grab samples up to 331.14 g/t Au
In addition to the Perch Zone, McKenzie Island offers a compelling second exploration opportunity with demonstrated high-grade gold, multiple targets and limited modern follow-up.

What Comes Next
Exploration & Development Agenda
Post-IPO plan: 2000 metres of Perch Zone definition drilling scheduled for spring/summer 2027
- 01
Continue Drilling Known Zones
Infill and extend the nearly 500 m of established strike, including below MK-21-019, where the hole was terminated while still in gold mineralization.
Define the known system
- 02
Chase the Perch Lake Trend
Explore and identify new zones across and beyond Perch Lake, along the trend interpreted from the 2021 drilling, where the system is untested.
Grow the footprint
- 03
Bank Data Toward a Resource
Compile drilling, assay and structural data to support a preliminary resource estimate on the St. Paul's Bay area. Two campaigns of assay and collar data are already in hand.
Toward a maiden estimate
These are planned objectives, subject to financing, permits and approvals. No mineral resource or mineral reserve has been estimated at McKenzie.
