The purpose of the program is to follow up on previous soil programs to further define potential drill targets on untested parts of the property. The Company anticipates collecting approximately 1,000 samples for MMITM (Mobile Metal Ion) analysis. MMITM is a method of soil geochemistry known to be capable of detecting buried mineralization.The Company sees significant exploration upside at West Cache, with the potential to extend mineralization along strike 1.5-kilometers to the southwest towards Pan American Silver's property and to the north into metavolcanic stratigraphy known to host gold deposits elsewhere in the Timmins camp. Exploration along both regional geological trends (southwest-northeast) and potential 'feeder' trends (northwest-southeast) around the current Mineral Resource Area is planned as part of a grassroots program to compliment the ongoing work toward the Company's bulk sampling program. West Cache – Gold Under Cover Extensive overburden cover at West Cache, in part, is why the Project remained relatively undeveloped until nearly a century after the Timmins camp was discovered. Early exploration techniques such as prospecting and trenching are generally not feasible due to glacial cover, and while some historic mines in the camp were discovered by visible gold at surface, there is no known outcrop within the Porcupine Basin at West Cache. The gold mineralization in the existing Mineral Resource Area was initially identified with geophysics and shallow drilling by Dome Canada in the mid-1980s. From 2021 to 2024 the Company collected and analyzed approximately 2,200 soil samples to evaluate geochemical responses over known gold zones and develop a reconnaissance grid over approximately nine square kilometers of the Porcupine Metasedimentary Basin in areas that have seen little to no 'boots on the ground' exploration. Using results from the previous soil programs, which are presented in Figure 1, the 2025 program aims to infill...
