The Company has completed ten diamond drill holes for\na total of 2000 meters of drilling and submitted 610 core samples for\nassays to determine the mineral composition and grade.\n \n\n Of the ten drill holes collected, our team has successfully\nintersected the iconic Cadillac-Larder fault multiple times, revealing\npromising mineralization which underscores local understanding of\nmineralization patterns. The Cadillac-Larder Lake fault is a major\nstructural element in the Abitibi greenstone belt, known for its rich\nmineralization and geological backbone supporting dozens of commercial\nmines in the region.\n \n\n Sample drill hole OP-25-27 was completed at a depth of 171 m. Between\n114 and 156.5 m, we intersected a fine-grained greenish-olive-grey\nrock. Serecite formation is present throughout, with localized\noccurrences containing fuschite and silicification pulses, slightly\nfractured except for a small area between 145.5 and 148.0 m, likely\nultramafic, where two small shear zones are observed. Arsenopyrite is\npresent at 1-2% up to 132 m, decreasing to trace levels beyond this\ndepth. Fine pyrite occurs at 1-2% from 148 m onward, with local vein\nstockwork increasing to 15% from 152 m to 156 m.
