  • HIGHLIGHTS EXPLORATION
  • At Golden Zone property, Alaska:

Highlights from the exploration activity carried out during the reporting period on the property over the last two field seasons include:

  • 27 Reverse Circulation ("RC") drill holes were completed on the property for 3,288 metres ("m").
  • Of the RC holes completed, 17 were drilled on the Mayflower Extension Zone ("MEZ"), located adjacent to the Breccia Pipe Deposit and 10 were completed in the Copper King prospect area.
  • Drilling at the MEZ established a northeast trending gold mineralized corriodor along a 600 m strike length and that remains open at depth and along strike in both directions.
  • Highlight drill results from the MEZ (see Press Releases dated January 19, 2022 and February 1, 2022) are as follows:
    o Hole GZ21RC-02 intersected 46.63 m of 1.08 g/t Au, including 15.24 m of 2.03 g/t Au - hole ended in mineralization.
    o Hole GZ21RC-03 intersected 4.57 m of 2.87 g/t Au; hole ended in mineralization.
    o Hole GZ21RC-18 intersected 6.10 m of 2.06 g/t Au, including 3.05 m of 3.89 g/t Au. o Hole GZ21RC-22 intersected 15.24 m of 2.65 g/t Au, including 3.05 m of 11.70 g/t
    Au.
    o Hole GZ21RC-23 intersected 4.57 m of 2.43 g/t Au and 4.58 m of 2.22 g/t Au within a broader zone of 73.45 m grading 0.45 g/t Au.
    o Hole GZ21RC-24 intersected 6.10 m of 2.14 g/t Au within a broader zone of 60.96 m of 0.68 g/t Au.
    o Hole GZ21RC-26 intersected 7.62 m of 1.55 g/t Au.
    o Hole GZ21RC-27 intersected 50.29 m of 0.70 g/t Au including 7.62 m of 2.52 g/t Au.
  • A helicopter LiDAR and Orthophoto survey was flown over the entire property.
  • A 1,788.7 line km Drone-Mag magnetometer survey was flown over the property with interpretation now completed and being evlauated and compiled to establish and follow-up targets.
  • Staked an additional 1,683.5 hectares (4,160 acres) of claims adjoining the southwestern portion of the property along the strike extension of the newly discovered MJ mineral occurrence (grab samples of 5.17 g/t Au and 4.2 g/t Au plus 2.77% Cu) extending the mineralized trend to 19 km in strike length and overall property size to 141.1 sq km. This portion of the property is referred to as the Southwest Prospects and hosts five (5) large gossanous gold-bearing zones, all within the same stratigraphic sedimentary package of rock defined along a NE-SW direction over a strike length of 4.5 km within the 19 km mineralized trend. Some highlights of the Southwest Prospects are as follows:

2

  • At the JJ prospect grab samples in gossan zones ranged from 2.08 g/t Au to 6.14 g/t Au and samples from interbedded siltstone sediments ranged from 0.098 g/t Au to 0.965 g/t Au. The mineralized gossan can be traced over an area of 400 m x 150 m x 100 m and open in all directions.
  • Approximately 200 m to the southwest of the JJ prospect is the the J4 prospect. The J4 prospect has been intermittently sampled (due to exposure issues as many of the gossanous veins are covered by colluvium or talus or trend into difficult to access areas) across an approximate stratigraphic thickness of 120 m. The area between the JJ and J4 prospects remains open and unsampled. The JJ-J4 prospect area extends over a combined strike length of >650 m and is approximately 120 m wide and 300 m in height to the valley floor.
  • A new zone of gold mineralization called CC was discovered approximately 750 m southeast of the JJ discovery area with samples up to 0.43 g/t Au and 1.2 g/t Ag from float samples collected in steep terrain at the base of a talus slope located directly below the source outcrop. This new minerlized area has yet to be fully sampled.
  • The MJ prospect, located approximately 2,750 m to the southwest of the J4 propsect returned results ranging from 0.10 g/t Au to 5.17 g/t Au. This sulfide-rich gossan zone has been defined over an area of 800 m x 300 m x 100 m and remains open along strike in both directions.
  • Prospecting at the Silver Kitty area (approximately 850 m to the southwest of MJ prospect) yielded an assay result of 2.42 g/t Au and 12.35 g/t Au. The Silver Kitty prospect to date has been outlined over a 500 m wide by 300 m high gossanous slope that trends northwest-southeast and is perpendicular to the MJ prospect.
  • Immediately west of the Silver Kitty occurrence, described as a chalcopyrite-bearing and sphalerite-bearing skarn adjacent to a porphyritic stock, a grab sample returned 12.5 g/t Au. This sample is located approximately 500 m southwest and on trend with the MJ discovery.

It should be noted that, due to their selective nature, assay results from grab samples noted may not be representative of the overall grade and extent of mineralization on the subject areas. All drill core assays and trench results noted above are presented in core/sample lengths as at this time there is insufficient data with respect to the orientation of the mineralized intersections to calculate true widths.

  • At Amanita property, Alaska:
    The following is the most recent work that has been completed on this property as no field exploration oriented exploration activities were carried out during the reporting period:
    • A high-resolution drone magnetic survey (443.6 line km) over the entire property at 50 m line spacing with selected areas flown at a 25 m line spacing.
    • A helicopter-borne LiDAR survey over the entire property.
    • Nine HQ-diameter oriented core holes were drilled in 2021 for a total of 1,945 m.
    • Gold mineralization was encountered in all holes with highlights as follows:
    • 22.72 m of 3.11 g/t Au (includes 12.87 m of 6.23 g/t Au) in Hole AM20-02 (this intersection occurs approximately 60 m below Trench D-West, which returned 27.0 m of 4.22 g/t Au).
    • 24.21 m of 1.30 g/t Au in hole AM20-03, approximately 60 m below surface, that includes a higher grade intersection of 5.77 m of 2.64 g/t Au.
    • 2.93 m of 4.26 g/t Au in Hole AM-20-08, approximately 10 m below surface, including 1.50 m of 8.07 g/t Au.
  • Drill hole and surface trench structural analysis was completed detailing the structural controls to the gold mineralization and outlined additional targets that could potentially expand on the

3

gold mineralization encountered above. A drill program as has been outlined that will be executed at a later date to expnad on the known gold mineralization.

  • At Amanita NE property, Alaska ("Amanita NE")

In late December 2021 a ground penetrating radar ("GPR") survey was completed in the southwest portion of the Amanita NE property in order to test the potential to use GPR as a tool to determine the overburden's depth to bedrock and identify paleo-river channels known to host placer gold deposits in the Fairbanks camp. The area selected for the GPR survey was drilled by an RC rig in 2004 and was known to have demonstrated potential for placer gold. The GPR test clearly identified the depth to bedrock and showed a dip in the reflective layers where a gold-bearing channel was anticipated indicating that, in this case, GPR may be an effective tool to scout for other paleo-placer channels on the property.
