Exploration Target Generation Activities Five priority exploration targets (Figure 1), three of which are included in Nicola's 2025 program, have been identified through collaboration in 2025 with ALS Geoanalytics (GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd.; \"GoldSpot\") using AI-based methods to analyze and correlate geophysical and geochemical data from Nicola's large exploration database.

Drilling in 2024 revealed favourable alteration with follow-up potential.Target B is a new, undrilled target identified by the Goldspot analysis.Target C corresponds with the MARB/CAS target area where positive results from the 2024 Exploration Program made it a high priority target. Target D corresponds with the important Titan Queen MINFILE showing. Historic and subsequent drilling and mapping in 2016 support more drilling.Target E is another new target from the Goldspot analysis that is added to the 2025 Program.Nicola continues to work with GoldSpot to refine the 2025 Exploration Program that will include collection of X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) data under the guidance of GoldSpot to ensure consistent, high-quality data acquisition aligned with New Craigmont's exploration goals. This new data will contribute to the development of exploration targets and improve understanding of skarn and porphyry-style mineralization.Diamond Drilling PlansExploration plans for the 2025 Program include 4,000-5,000 metres of diamond drilling at the MARB/CAS, West Craigmont/WP, and two new target areas generated by ...
