"This is a strong encouragement and support to us, and it is a recognition of the exploration achievements and efforts we have made to-date on the Ferguson Lake project."

"This funding will be allocated to further exploration of the Ferguson Lake Property, but more importantly, it also underscores the collaborative spirit between the Company and the Government of Nunavut. We share a mutual vision of leveraging the rich mineral reserves within Nunavut to create meaningful opportunities for the community while contributing to the region's economic prosperity."

The Company Is completing Its 20,000-metre drill and other exploration program in 2023 to further expand the mineralized zones at the Ferguson Lake Project. The Company is actively engaged with local communities in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut, and the service providers in Rankin Inlet, Baker Lake, Winnipeg, Yellowknife and Edmonton for the logistic supports, transportation, camp operation, and wildlife and environmental protection.
