(TSX-V: CPI | OTCQB: CPIFF) (“Carlton” or the “Company”) is pleased to report results of a recent rock chip sampling program completed in late 2025 across the Dunfee gold and silver project in Nevada (“Dunfee” or the “Project”). A total of 35 rock chip samples were collected from mineralized vein structures and dumps with results of up to 6.7 g/t gold and silver assays of up to 493 g/t silver being returned. Eight of the 35 samples returned silver grades of more than 2 ounces per tonne or better. Subsequent to encouraging field observations, the Company staked an additional 30 lode claims expanding the Project’s footprint from an initial 23 lode claims to 53 covering approximately 430 hectares. Dunfee is located in Nevada, 80 km south of Tonopah and 73 km northwest of Beatty, within the Walker Lane Gold trend and the Project is positioned some 30 miles north of Anglogold’s multi-million-ounce Silicon Gold project and southeast of the historical mining camp of Gold Point (see Location Map). Carlton owns the Project 100% and its royalty free and up to now has held the Project as an investment property. The high-grade gold-silver veins at Dunfee, which are the southern extension of the Gold Point District, were intermittently mined during the mid to late 1800’s with approximately 74,000 ounces reportedly being mined from the Gold Point district (Brook, 2023). At least five principal northwest trending quartz veins have been identified and mapped at Dunfee to date, comprising mineralized structures of up to four metres in width and outcropping over strike lengths of more than 1000m (see maps below). These mineralized structures consist of series of quartz veins, 20 to 30cm quartz sulfide veins sitting within sheared altered wall-rock. No less than 16 samples averaged 0.99 g/t Au and 31g/t Ag (see below results table). Samples that returned the higher-grade gold and silver assays results were typically associated with base metal sulfides and/or pyrite. Many of the samples were from waste dumps and are thus not considered reflective of the grade of material that was mined and proc...
