2018 Exploration Update
El Habal
The 2018 surface exploration program (geological mapping, access to underground workings, trenching and ground geophysical program) has identified a highly anomalous gold mineralized zone covering a 1 sq. km zone, Target Area A (Figure 01 El Habal), with opportunities for expansion along strike and down dip.
The completion of the initial trenching program (see press release dated June 5th, 2018) together with the completion of a modern ground geophysical survey program (CSAMT, Magnetometry, see press release dated April 5th, 2018), created the foundation for the current diamond drilling program.
Goldplay initiated a two-phase diamond drilling program in Target Area A (see press release dated May 22nd, 2018). The phase I diamond drilling program includes approximately 2000 meters of drilling, targeting continuity of the gold mineralized zones down dip at approximate 100 to 150 meters below the surface inside Target Area A. Goldplay is anticipating completing the phase I drilling program by mid-July, forecasting a steady flow of assay results throughout the following months as additional results are received and interpreted. Once all results are received and interpreted, Goldplay will initiate a phase II diamond drilling program.
Goldplay has re-opened all historical shallow underground workings at El Habal, aiming to complete a detailed 3D modelling of mineralized zones, together with geological mapping, sampling and delineation of new targets for future diamond drilling.
An additional surface exploration program (trenching, geological mapping) is anticipated to be completed in 2018 inside the 6km long – 1 km wide mineralized corridor. Upon delineation of new targets, the Company will initiate a diamond drilling program in newly identified areas. The Company has defined two new areas for exploration surrounding the historical Mina La Espanola and Northeast of the historical Mina El Habal in the Octavio area(Figure 01).
San Marcial
San Marcial is an attractive near surface high grade silver, zinc, lead and gold project with a historical National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) resource completed by Silvermex Resources Inc. (“Silvermex”). reporting +30Moz Ag equivalent (1), and with immediate opportunity for resource expansion. The San Marcial historical NI-43.101 reports +30Moz Ag equivalent (1) as detailed in the report completed by SilverMex and titled “Updated NI 43 101 Technical Report For The San Marcial Property La Rastra Mining District” dated November 5, 2008 (filed on SEDAR November 21, 2008, by Silver One Mining Corporation) and prepared by Micon International Limited).
The existing historical NI 43-101 resource estimation exhibits significant exploration upside not only for open pit amenable development, but also showing attractive high-grade Ag intersections supporting a potential for future underground development.
Goldplay has received, and is reviewing, a total of 52 drill holes, including a historical exploration and drilling database and related core-boxes A summary of initial 30 historical results (2) completed by SilverMex and titled ( “3000 Meter Core Drilling Program to Commence on the San Marcial Silver Project” dated May 14, 2010 was filed on SEDAR May 14, 2010, by Silver One Mining Corporation).
Goldplay has identified that an additional 22 drill holes were completed post-filing of historical NI 43-101, and they were not incorporated in the historical National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) resource completed by Silvermex. This represents an immediate opportunity to update and expand the resources.
A summary of additional 22 historical results (2) completed by SilverMex and titled (“Silvermex Announces Positive Results of San Marcial Silver Project” dated August 24, 2010 was filed on SEDAR September 3, 2010, by Silver One Mining Corporation).
Goldplay is currently sampling/resampling core samples to collect critical information, including new Au, Ag and multi-element assays, forecasting a steady flow of assay results throughout the remaining part of July and following months. This will form the basis for completion of a new resource estimation forecast for completion by the year end.
Goldplay has recently completed a successful hearing with the Ejido Naranjo o Tebaira (land owner), receiving approval to initiate a surface exploration program and it is planning to initiate a diamond drilling program in the San Marcial Project.
Goldplay has completed a detailed LIDAR topographic survey covering 7 sq. km over the most important target areas, generating a high resolution topographic map to support future exploration or development activities at the San Marcial Project.
Figure 02_Concessions and Area Mines
The historical NI 43-101 covers only 600 m of a mineralized trend, showing expansion upside open along strike and down dip for an additional 3.5 km (Figure 03). Goldplay has identified highly anomalous historical results carrying elevated grades for gold, silver, zinc and lead in the areas numbered from 1 to 14 (Figure 03_General Project Overview).
Along the San Marcial Vein Structure (Figure 03), previous historical surface results from trenching have revealed numerous high-grade results including 9.70m @ 520 g/t Ag At Area of Interest 1, Las Cuadrillas, there are historical surface results from trenching including 27.5m @ 2.95 g/t Au. A summary of historical results (2) completed by SilverMex and titled (“Silvermex reports high-grade trench sampling assays. Highlights include: 9.70 m of 520.9 g/t Ag, and 1.75 mof 1,770 g/t Ag” dated May 11, 2010 was filed on SEDAR May 113, 2010, by Silver One Mining Corporation).

About Goldplay Exploration Ltd.
Goldplay owns a +250 square kilometer exploration portfolio in the Rosario Mining District, Sinaloa, Mexico. Goldplay currently focuses on exploration activities including drilling in progress at the El Habal Project and planned resource update at the recently acquired advanced stage San Marcial Project.
The El Habal Project is a low sulphidation epithermal exploration-stage project with an ongoing core drilling program. The1000 meter long oxidized gold mineralized zone outcrops along a series of rolling hills with evidence of historical shallow underground mining. The El Habal Project is near the historical Au-Ag Rosario Mine (“Rosario Mine”). The Rosario Mine reportedly operated for 250 years. Goldplay’s team has over 30 years’ experience with senior roles in exploration, financing, and development in the mining industry, including over ten years of extensive exploration experience in the Rosario Mining District, leading to previous successful discoveries. A current NI 43-101 report on The El Habal Project is filed on SEDAR.

The existing historical NI 43-101 resource estimation exhibits significant exploration upside as it only comprises 30 drill holes completed up to November 2008. Additional 22 drill holes were completed post-filing of historical NI 43-101, representing an immediate opportunity to update and expand the resources. The historical NI 43-101 covers 600 m of a mineralized trend which is open along strike for an additional 3.5 km, supported by positive surface exploration results. The mineralization is an open down dip as most of the historical drilling was completed only up to 250 m below the surface in the resource estimation area. Historical preliminary metallurgical results from oxide and sulfide samples from San Marcial have indicated column leach tests recoveries in the range of 80% for a 72-hour leach period and preliminary flotation test work in drill core composite samples reporting recoveries in the range of 90%. The mineralization at San Marcial is typical of the low sulphidation, epithermal systems hosted near the contact of the Tertiary, Upper and Lower Volcanic units in the Sierra Madre Occidental Geologic Province.
Along the 3.5 km mineralized trend, there are highly altered hydrothermal breccias, conglomerates, and relatively fresh dacite porphyry intrusive. Faulting is an important structural feature related to the silver gold zinc lead copper mineralization, and the intersection of east-west with northwest structures are considered the most prospective areas for exploration at San Marcial. There are two main mineralized zones (upper and lower), located in the center of the mineral concession and both outcropping at surface. Both mineralized zones and associated host rocks exhibit fracture filling and typical hydrothermal textures of epithermal deposits. There is local brecciation hosting mineralized zones.
San Marcial exhibits significant exploration upside supported by historical regional exploration programs completed by previous operators with the identification of 14 exploration targets like San Marcial inside the concessions. Some of these exploration targets consist of old shallow pits, caved shafts and historical underground workings in areas with extensive hydrothermal alteration hosted by major regional structures. Goldplay is providing the historical data and historical NI 43-101 for informational purposes only. Goldplay has not completed any quality control assurance program to the historical drill data and NI 43-101. Although the Company believes that the work was completed by competent persons to the standards of the day and the Company cautions the reader that the drill results are historical in nature and have yet to be verified by the Company’s “Qualified Person” under NI 43-101.

Investor Insight
GoldInxs Mining Corp. (TSXV:INXS, OTCQB: INXGF) provides investors with exposure to early-stage gold-copper exploration in British Columbia, leveraging a portfolio of high-potential projects in Tier 1 jurisdictions, within established gold districts, surrounded by strong regional infrastructure and led by an experienced management team committed to accelerating discovery and delivering shareholder value.
Overview
GoldInxs Mining Corp. is a discovery-focused mineral exploration company dedicated to identifying and advancing high-potential copper-gold assets in proven geological belts. The Company's strategy centers on acquiring overlooked and underexplored projects with large-scale potential, applying modern exploration techniques to rapidly evaluate targets and unlock shareholder value through discovery.
The Company’s. common shares started trading on the TSX Venture Exchange in July 2026 under the symbol INXS, positioning itself to capitalize on favorable copper and gold market fundamentals.
Copper demand is forecasted to grow steadily through 2030, with the global copper market expected to expand to over US$340 billion by 2030, driven by electric vehicles, renewable energy and infrastructure growth.
On the other hand, gold continues to provide a safe-haven hedge against policy risks and market volatility, making GoldInxs’ dual focus on copper and gold particularly compelling for investors.
The Company’s portfolio is anchored by two priority projects: the Fishpot Project in central British Columbia, interpreted as an emerging, large epithermal system with strong infrastructure access and jurisdiction quality as well as early indications of blackwater-style mineralization, and the non-core Millar Project in the prolific B.C Golden Triangle, a district renowned for world-class discoveries. While surrounding deposits attracted billions of dollars in investment, Fishpot received only sporadic historical exploration despite widespread hydrothermal alteration and numerous anomalous gold, silver and copper results. Artemis Gold’s Blackwater Mine has announced tripling production with an intended $1.56B investment, which sits only 65 km from the Fishpot property.
Backed by a management team with expertise in exploration, project development and capital markets, GoldInxs is positioned to rapidly advance its assets, deliver near-term exploration catalysts and create shareholder value through discovery and strategic growth.
Company Highlights
- Mining-friendly jurisdiction: Projects are in British Columbia, which ranked second in Canada and 20th globally in the 2025 Fraser Institute investment attractiveness rankings.
- Flagship and district-scale assets: Portfolio is anchored by the flagship Fishpot Project (“Fishpot”) in central B.C., showing strong geological indicators of mineralization, blackwater-style mineralization potential and immense exploration upside potential with only 378 meters of historical drilling. Fishpot is strategically located in the same region as Artemis Gold’s Blackwater Mine and Evolution Mining’s optioned Clisbako property.
- Clear path to 2026 catalysts: GoldInxs secured a drill permit for an upcoming maiden 2,000-metre drill program at Fishpot, near-term exploration programs are designed to define mineralized systems, outline blackwater-style potential and create shareholder value following the completion of a 3D IP survey and drill targeting.
Key Projects
Fishpot Project
The Fishpot Project represents the cornerstone asset within the GoldInxs portfolio. Covering up to 5,500 hectares in Central British Columbia, and located ~95 km north of Quesnel, Fishpot hosts a large hydrothermal alteration system that exhibits many of the geological characteristics observed in major epithermal and intrusion-related gold systems throughout the region. Fishpot encompasses five claim blocks, held under an option to acquire 100 percent subject to a 2 percent NSR, representing a significant exploration opportunity in a highly prospective region.
Fishpot represents a largely untested hydrothermal mineral system where multiple independent exploration datasets, including gold-silver-copper surface geochemistry, alteration and geology, airborne magnetics, 3D IP chargeability/resistivity and identified epithermal-to-potential-porphyry target environments, are converging to define drill targets, despite only 378 metres of historical drilling across two holes.
Fishpot is situated within the highly prospective Stikine Terrane and is underlain by Hazelton Group volcanic rocks and intrusive units comparable to those associated with several significant deposits in British Columbia. Extensive quartz-sericite alteration, hydrothermal brecciation, pyrite mineralization and multi-element geochemical anomalies support the interpretation of a robust mineralizing system. Fishpot is strategically positioned near active and historical mining operations, including Artemis Gold’s Blackwater Deposit, Newton Gold Project, Capoose and 3Ts Project, underscoring its large-scale discovery potential. Importantly, based on early-exploration results, Fishpot shares several regional geological characteristics commonly associated with Blackwater-style gold systems, including felsic volcanics, strong alteration, pyrite-rich mineralization and gold-silver geochemical associations. Despite the similarities the Company cannot yet make any formal connections to the surrounding properties, nor can they guarantee that such deposits exist on their ground.
Fishpot Exploration Technology: GoldInxs advanced its Fishpot targeting program by combining a conventional 3D IP survey with emerging Virtual DRILL™ remote-sensing technology as an additional targeting layer, using multiple geological, geochemical and geophysical datasets to refine and prioritize targets ahead of a planned ~2,000-metre drill program.
Fishpot Drill Permit & Expansion: GoldInxs has received the required drilling permits and expanded Fishpot to 5,509 hectares, positioning the Company to proceed with its inaugural ~2,000-metre modern drill program on a property that has seen very limited historical drilling, while refining targets through integrated geological, geochemical and geophysical data.
Despite multiple encouraging exploration indicators, Fishpot has been subjected to only two historic drill holes totaling 378 metres, leaving the broader mineral system largely untested and providing significant leverage to future exploration success.
Recent exploration completed by GoldInxs generated the highest reported gold value on Fishpot to date, returning up to 5.65 g/t Au from surface sampling, while airborne geophysical surveys identified multiple coincident magnetic and geochemical anomalies that have strengthened the Company's exploration model and target pipeline.
The 2025 program returned rock samples of up to 5.65 g/t Au, 11.35 g/t Ag and 0.42% Cu, while historical work reportedly returned up to 4.36 g/t Au and 3.2% Cu.
The property exhibits the potential low-sulphidation epithermal targets at Fishpot North, intermediate-sulphidation signatures at Fishpot East, and a large central magnetic high being evaluated for potential porphyry mineralization at depth. The Company is focused on finalizing drill targeting and preparing for the inaugural diamond drill campaign at Fishpot in the coming months following completion of the IP survey. GoldInxs is preparing to drill-test a 5,509-hectare, largely undrilled hydrothermal system in central British Columbia where high-grade surface gold-silver-copper results, Blackwater-style geological characteristics and multiple coincident geophysical targets have converged to define a portfolio of high-priority exploration targets.
