The Property is accessible by paved highway and a network of well-maintained gravel roads across the Property.Highlights:Ophir re-engages exploration at the Breccia Gold Property amid record gold and silver pricesProperty hosts extensive and significant gold mineralization via surface outcrop samples, including: 84.3 g/t Au and 31.3 g/t Ag (Meadows Fault Trend), 57.6 g/t Au and 19.6 g/t Ag (East Breccia Zone) and 16.4 g/t Au and 15.1 g/t Ag (Musgrove Trend) Outcrop sampled from the Property expands the mineralized potential 800 m North, along Meadows Fault Zone: 25.2 g/t AuProperty surrounds neighbouring unowned claims with a historical drill hole that returned 13.02 g/t Au and 46.6 g/t Ag over 7.4 m (BG21-004), and that was mere meters off of the Property boundary, confirming a robust mineralized system in the area1 (See figure 1 and 2)On trend to the neighbouring Challis Gold Project claimsCSAMT and magnetic surveys on the Property define a continuous structural corridor consistent with the known mineralized trendWith gold at historic highs and investor demand for high-quality North American precious metal projects accelerating, Ophir is repositioning Breccia as a cornerstone asset within its portfolio while actively evaluating additional gold and silver opportunities to complement its existing precious metal growth strategy.The Breccia Gold Property is anchored by a robust geological model, is on trend to the contiguous Challis Gold Project, and surrounds neighbouring claims with historical high-grade drilling. Additionally, the geophysics dataset including CSAMT and magnetics defines a continuous resistivity corridor coincident with previously drilled gold mineralization on neighbouring surrounded claims. This integrated dataset confirms the presence of a structurally controlled system that remains open for expansion both along strike and at depth. Within only metres of the Property border, on surround...
