In addition, the hole has uncovered new gold mineralization ranging up to 13.90 g/t Au over 0.60 metres in the hanging wall granite host of the Con shear at multiple downhole depths (478.30 to 546 metres & at 748 metres).
The Con shear Deposit is located approximately one km west in the hanging wall of the main Campbell shear target on the Con Mine Option Property (CMO). Hole GTCM24-056 is currently at approximately 1,481 metres and progressing well towards the Campbell Shear target, expected at approximately downhole depth of 2700 metres. The CMO Property is under option from subsidiaries of

Con Shear Intersection
Hole GTCM24-056 has intersected the Con Shear from 1366-1405 metres. The Con Shear intersection is notably marked by intense silicification of mafic volcanic and intermediate intrusive rocks. A large quartz vein is present along the intermediate intrusive-mafic volcanic contact and numerous white to smoky grey quartz veins with pyrite mineralization exist within the strongly silicified and sheared zone. The shearing over the interval is intermittent but strong when present.
Gold in the Hanging Wall Granite Host
The unit is thought to represent a mineralized intrusive stock adjacent to the
Within the granitic intrusive unit, there are varying densities of quartz veining with associated alteration and mineralization. Veins range in size from hairline to 50 cm wide in densities of up to 6 veins per metre and are white to smoky grey. Siliceous alteration halos with pale green to yellow alteration surround the veins. Mineralization in veins typically consists of pyrite and arsenopyrite, but also occasionally contains sphalerite, galena, and pyrrhotite. Tourmaline is present in several veins and is viewed as an analogue to the Sigma- Lamaque complex (+15 Moz produced) in
Assays returned significant gold values in several intervals between 478 and 546 metres. Further sampling is currently being completed in this area to ensure a thorough assessment of the veining.

Information Concerning Estimates of Mineral Resources
Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource could ever be mined economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of 'Measured Mineral Resources,' 'Indicated Mineral Resources,' or 'Inferred Mineral Resources' will ever be upgraded to a higher category. The Mineral Resource estimates contained herein may be subject to legal, political, environmental or other risks that could materially affect the potential development of such mineral resources. Refer to the Technical Report, once filed, for more information with respect to the key assumptions, parameters, methods and risks of determination associated with the foregoing.
Cautionary Note to
The Company prepares its disclosure in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in
U.S. investors are cautioned that while the foregoing terms are 'substantially similar' to corresponding definitions under the CIM Standards, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any Mineral Resources that the Company may report as 'Measured Mineral Resources', 'Indicated Mineral Resources' and 'Inferred Mineral Resources' under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the Mineral Resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules. In accordance with Canadian securities laws, estimates of 'Inferred Mineral Resources' cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101.
