On August 8, 2026, the first drill pad at POW zone was completed and the diamond drill rig mobilized and commenced shortly after. See Image 3. Construction has begun on pad 2 at POW Zone and once completed, pad 3 will be constructed 2km northwest at the Lost Ace zone. The Company is ahead of schedule to complete the 1,300 metre 2026 drill program.

POW Zone – Testing Continuity of Gold-Tungsten Mineralization:
Diamond drilling completed in 2011 intersected:
- JN11-009: 1.25 g/t Au over 60.0 m, including 2.47 g/t Au over 21.0 m. News Release: Nov 17, 2011
- JN11-010: 2.52 g/t Au and 29.53 g/t Ag over 12.0 m. Subsequent tungsten re-assays returned 0.25% WO₃ over 12.0 m. News Release: Jan 10, 2012, News Release: Oct 16, 2014.
The 2026 program will test continuity of mineralization between these discovery holes and evaluate the depth extent of the system.
Additional drilling will test the area between JN11-009/JN11-010 and step-out hole JN12-018 which returned:
- 88.5 metres of 0.73 g/t Au. News Release Nov. 8, 2012.
A third priority target designed to better understand tungsten distribution and possible structural controls of tungsten mineralization within the system. Two holes will test the area between the original discovery holes and JN12-016, which returned:
- 5.6 m grading 4.12 g/t Au, including 2.6 m grading 8.20 g/t Au. News Release Sep 25, 2012.
- 8.5 m grading 0.39% WO₃, including 1.0 m grading 1.12% WO₃. News Release Oct. 16, 2014

Lost Ace Zone – Testing High-Grade Orogenic Gold Mineralization:
Lost Ace represents a distinct style of high-grade structurally controlled gold mineralization. A series of holes are planned here to test the vein below surface. Trench channel samples previously returned:
- 20.8 g/t Au over 4.4 m
- 88.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m News Release Jan. 14, 2019
