Resource growth and grade optimization ◆ Maiden NI 43-101 Inferred Resource: 26.9 Mt @ 1.69 g/t Gold for 1.46 Moz, doubling historical 727 Koz. ◆ Bonanza-grade intercept: 21.7 m @ 35.2 g/t Gold within open-pit shell, underground resource also modeled ◆ Dual plunge controls identified, enhancing high-grade targeting and 3D resource modeling. Exploration success and technical execution ◆ 2024 program: 8,166 m new drilling + 8,000 m historical core assaying; 100% assays now complete. ◆ Historical core re-assaying added new zones (e.g., 43.9 m @ 0.74 g/t Gold), expanding footprint at low cost of ~US$7/oz. Project advancement and optionality ◆ Acquired Lac Pelletier: 105,000 m drilling, 3.3 km underground, 96.3% recovery; permitted for 1,000 tpd. Historically reported resource of 227,000 oz at 3.9 g/t and significant infrastructure. ◆ Gap study initiated for environmental compliance; pre-production potential under evaluation.
