• Reported new gold assay results from the Keel Zone including 0.28 g/t gold and confirming 1.34% copper over 103.64 m at the Copper Creek Project, on May 7, 2024.

• Reported 117.00 m at 0.40% copper near surface, including 23.37 m at 0.60% copper at Old Reliable and drilling success continuing at Area 51 at the Copper Creek Project, on April 10, 2024.

• Reported positive metallurgical results for the Copper Creek Project on February 26, 2024.

• Reported 163.11 m at 0.85% copper within 380.60 m at 0.62% copper in the American Eagle area at the Copper Creek Project, on February 21, 2024.

• Reported new mineralized breccias (Starship and Eclipse) 800 m southeast of the existing Mineral Resource at the Copper Creek Project, on January 16, 2024 and March 4, 2024, respectively.

• Continued baseline environmental data collection, stakeholder mapping, and generative exploration targeting at the Copper Creek Project to provide a pipeline of future targets through ongoing geological mapping and recently reprocessed and newly acquired geophysical data.

Upcoming Copper Creek Milestones

• Ongoing results from the Phase III drill program

• Updated technical report in the first half of 2025

Copper Creek Project Update

The knowledge from the geological and structural model and the results from the Phase I and Phase II drill programs, along with geophysical and air-borne spectral data sets, and economic criteria defined in the Preliminary Economic Assessment1 base case, have contributed to the framework for the Phase III drill program, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2023. The focus of the ongoing Phase III drilling is on expanding the mineral resource through improved delineation of high-grade mineralized zones and reconnaissance drilling on new targets.

With extensive historical exploration, over 200,000 metres of drilling and modest past production, significant exploration upside remains. There are several hundred known breccia occurrences mapped at surface, of which less than 20% have been drill tested and only 17 are included in the Mineral Resource Estimate1 ("MRE").

In the Phase II drill program assay results confirmed the potential for gold to occur in economic concentrations in certain phases of the mineralization. Gold is not currently included in the MRE. A sampling program to gather sufficient data coverage for potential gold inclusion in future technical studies is largely complete. The results from the Childs Aldwinkle and Copper Prince breccias, as well as the Keel underground zone have been returned. The Company continues to evaluate other areas for potential inclusion of gold in future mineral resource updates.

The Company has reported results from a metallurgical program focused on grind size optimization that demonstrated the viability of coarse particle flotation, gold recoveries in concentrate and test work on near surface oxide mineralization.

The Company is focusing on exploration at the property while continuing to advance technical studies, environmental data gathering, and stakeholder outreach.
