A prospectivity report created by ALS GoldSpot categorized the 113 targets based on mineralization styles on the Property which include: Polymetallic (Main Trend) mineralization, Equity-style mineralization, Porphyry mineralization, and Special (

#1 Includes the Main Trend and West Porphyry. ALS GoldSpot further identified the potential for the extension of the West Porphyry to the south in addition to the East Trend with the potential for more polymetallic mineralization similar to the Main Trend.
#2 Includes two high priority targets for Equity-style mineralization: Target 1 extends south from the former
#3 Includes several targets of interest with Target 3, which hosts overlapping porphyry and polymetallic signatures, being the most compelling. These targets are near the Dina Showing where past drilling intersected similar lithology and alteration as the Main Trend and the former

- ALS GoldSpot has identified several high priority targets that complement the known mineralized zones at the Main Trend and West Porphyry;
- Additionally, ALS GoldSpot's work has identified completely new targets in the Equity East, Zest, Sam and Dina areas of the Property which have seen little or no exploration work in the past;
- With the recent results from the biogeochemical sampling, future biogeochemical sampling will be planned over these high priority target areas along with prospecting.
- Induced Polarization geophysical surveys will then follow-up any biogeochemical targets that parallel the ALS GoldSpot targets aiding in defining future drilling targets.
For further details on the Silver Hope Property and the 2023 biogeochemistry and ALS GoldSpot work, refer to our updated Silver Hope Technical Presentation.
ALS GoldSpot conducted a review, familiarization and tidying of all the Silver Hope geochemical, geophysical and geological lithology data in preparation for machine learning processing in addition to traditional structural, lithogeochemical and geological modelling interpretations to create a ranked series of prospectivity targets.
Finlay is a TSXV company focused on exploration for base and precious metal deposits with three properties in northern
- The Silver Hope Property covers 213.11 km2 and surrounds the past-producing
Equity Silver Mine in the prospective Skeena Arch region of central B.C. The Silver Hope contains the Main Trend which is a >2km Cu-Ag-Au mineralized trend with mineralization starting at surface. West of the Main Trend is the West Cu-Mo Porphyry which is also mineralized starting from surface. The Property hosts a network of forestry roads and trails and has all-year access fromHouston, BC . - The ATTY Property covers 33.93 km2 of sub-alpine terrain in the southern Toodoggone region. The Toodoggone is a northwest-trending belt of Triassic to Jurassic arc terranes that hosts numerous significant porphyry Cu-Au ± Ag and associated epithermal Au-Ag deposits. The ATTY Property is in between and contiguous to Centerra Gold's Kemess Property and the joint-ventured Joy Property held by Amarc and Freeport-McMoRan. The ATTY's KEM target has similarities to the Kemess North Trend which hosts the Kemess Underground and Kemess East deposits.
- The PIL Property, which covers 170 km2 in the heart of the Tooddogone region has numerous targets of porphyry Cu-Au ± Ag and associated epithermal Au-Ag mineralization. The property is in Year 2 of a 5-year option to
Cascadia Minerals Ltd. (formerly ATAC Resources Ltd.), on completion of which Cascadia will acquire a 70% interest in the PIL. Following the exercise of the option, Cascadia and Finlay will hold interests in the Property of 70% and 30%, respectively, and a joint venture will be formed.
