Juggernaut Secures 100 % Option on Big One Gold Discovery - Drill Ready - Golden Triangle, B.C.

Juggernaut Exploration Ltd (JUGR.V) (OTCQB: JUGRF) (FSE: 4JE) (the “Company” or “Juggernaut”) is pleased to announce that it has the option to earn 100 % interest in the Big One property (the “Property”) from the B-ALL Syndicate Ltd. The Big One Property is a new discovery with assays up to 79.01 g/t gold (2.54 oz/t gold) and 3157.89 g/t silver (101.5 oz/t silver) from >200 gold-silver-copper rich polymetallic veins up to 8 m wide and striking for up to 500 m that remain open. These veins were identified along the newly discovered 11 km Highway of Gold surrounding the Eldorado porphyry system on the Big One property. The discovery is located in an area of glacial and snowpack abatement adjacent to the world-class gold-rich porphyry systems at Galore Creek. The property covers 33,693 hectares in world-class geologic terrane with tremendous additional discovery potential in the heart of the Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The Big One property was generated, staked and the original discovery was made by the B-ALL Syndicate.

Dan Stuart, President and CEO of Juggernaut Exploration, states,“We are excited to have been selected as the vehicle to explore, drill, and develop this exciting discovery home to the 11 km Highway of Gold, where over 200 high-grade gold-silver polymetallic veins up to 8 m thick and exposed on surface for over 500 m have assayed up to 79.01 g/t gold (2.54 oz/t gold) and 3157.89 g/t silver (101.5 oz/t silver) and remain open. Even more exciting is the fact that the mineralization observed on the surface is indicative of a much larger precious and base metal porphyry system or systems at depth. To have 100 % control over a district-scale property of this caliber located in world-class geologic terrane in close proximity to a Tier 1 deposit the likes of Galore Creek is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With ~95 % of the Big One property remaining unexplored and hosting vast areas of newly exposed outcrop due to glacial and snowpack retreat, it provides for excellent additional long-term discovery potential. The Big One discovery has already garnered serious interest from multiple miners and institutions alike. The company looks forward to the maiden drill program, which could very quickly evolve into a world-class gold discovery.”

• Eldorado consists of a high-grade polymetallic gold-silver zone named Highway of Gold that stretches 11 km and remains open on newly exposed bedrock along the fringes of the Geology Ridge icefield and Decker Creek glacier
• Eldorado demarks an area of 7.5 Km of recently exposed bedrock containing substantial propylitic alteration, hydrothermal veining, and epithermal veining with 200 quartz-sulphide veins up to 8 m wide containing semi-massive to massive chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena with grades up to 79.01 g/t Au (2.54 oz/t Au) and 3157 g/t Ag (101.5 oz/t Ag), that remains open
• The polymetallic veins, alteration signature, geochemical path finder element signature, and geophysical anomalies strongly indicate the presence of a common buried gold-silver-copper rich porphyry feeder source at depth responsible for the extensive high-grade veining confirmed on surface
• The newly exposed Eldorado system contains 200 veins over an area of 1.2 km by 800 m that remains open. Within this zone, veins up to 8 m wide and striking up to 500 m were observed (Whopper vein), containing semi-massive to massive chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena, indicated to be the source of historic high-grade gold-silver angular float samples reported in the 1960s in the valley below. Both the zone and the system remain open and are drill ready.
• At least two extensive areas with strong porphyry potential have been identified where the distribution of geochemical path finder elements overlaps with strong geophysical anomalies as well as multiple gold-rich polymetallic veins in outcrop and clearly corresponds to the typical signature observed within or in close proximity to a porphyry system.Big One Geochemistry Maps

The results from the August 2024 reconnaissance exploration program on the Big One property confirmed the excellent untapped exploration potential of the area with the discovery of the extensive high-grade Eldorado gold-silver-copper system found along the 11 km Highway of Gold in newly exposed outcrop around the fringes of the snowfields/glaciers. The Eldorado discovery is bordered by an extensive zone of propylitic alteration halo covering an area of 4 km by 1 km and porphyry textures in outcrop, which, coupled with buried geophysical anomalies and strong geochemical pathfinder element signatures, strongly indicates the presence of a large mineralizing (porphyry) system or systems at depth indicated to be the origin of the extensive high-grade gold, silver and copper mineralization confirmed in veins on surface that remains open.

The Big One property covers 33,693 hectares of world-class geologic terrain in the heart of the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, Canada. The property is largely unexplored, and only recently, due to ongoing rapid glacial and snowpack abatement, has an opportunity been provided to explore extensive areas of the newly exposed outcrop, which has strong potential for discovery today and into the future.

The Eldorado system is indicated to be the source of angular float samples with grades up to 16.9 g/t Au and 49 g/t Ag, discovered in the early 1960s. Eldorado corresponds to the location of the source that was suggested by renowned geologist and glaciation expert Dr. Richard E Kucera in 1990 to the west of the boulder field at an elevation of >4700 ft, which at the time was covered by permanent snow and ice. Big One Float Zone

We have only started to scratch the property's surface and have likely only seen the tip of the iceberg. A number of mineralized occurrences, including porphyry and extensive high-grade polymetallic veins, were discovered on the Big One property, clearly demonstrating the enormous untapped potential of this area, which could quickly evolve into a new world-class discovery.

Table 1: Assay highlights from the Big One property

The Big One property is situated in a region that is well known for hosting world-class precious metal and porphyry deposits, several of which occur near the property including the multiple porphyry systems at Galore Creek (12,159 million pounds of copper, 9.438 million ounces of gold, 174.086 million ounces of silver), the world’s largest known gold reserve at KSM (47.3 million ounces of gold, 160 million ounces of silver, 7.32 billion pounds of copper) and the polymetallic copper project at Shaft Creek (5 billion pounds of copper, 3.7 million ounces of gold, 16.4 million ounces of silver), as well as the Brucejack high-grade epithermal gold deposit (14 million ounces of gold, 91.8 million ounces of silver), and the structurally controlled high-grade hydrothermal gold-silver zones at Trophy and Sphal Creek. The property geology is favorable to host these types of deposits as confirmed by the presence of extensive areas of propylitic alteration, untested geophysical anomalies, strong silt, soil and rock geochemistry, including path finder elements directly related to porphyry systems, key structures and textures, porphyry-style mineralization, and high-grade polymetallic veins, that have been discovered within the Big One claims. Big One Property Map

The Big One property can be accessed year-round via helicopter from the Glenora/Telegraph Creek Road at the Barrington Mine (33 km to the north-northeast) and the Galore Creek Road (15 km to the southeast). The Canadian government committed $20 M to extend/improve the Galore Creek Road within 15 km of the Big One property. The property is only 2 km west of the Scud River airstrip used in the early days of Galore Creek.

The Big One property exploration qualifies for the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC).

Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate a sample of anywhere between 0.5 to 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample sites were recorded using hand-held GPS units (accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples were then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples including blanks, standards, and duplicate samples were inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%.

All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. A transport company takes them from the core shack to the Paragon Geochemical labs facilities in Surrey, BC or ALS labs facilities in North Vancouver, BC. Paragon Geochemical is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. ALS is either certified to ISO 9001:2008 or accredited to ISO 17025:2005 in all of its locations. Samples submitted to Paragon received gold and silver analysis by photon assay whereby the entire sample is crushed to approximately 70% passing 2 mm mesh. The entire crushed sample is riffle split and weighed into multiple (300-500g) jars that are submitted for photon assay. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, causing them to emit secondary gamma rays, which are measured to identify and quantify the metals present. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. At ALS samples were processed, dried, crushed, and pulverized before analysis using the ME-MS61 and Au-SCR21 methods. For the ME-MS61 method, a prepared sample is digested with perchloric, nitric, hydrofluoric, and hydrochloric acids. The residue is topped up with dilute hydrochloric acid and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Overlimits were re-analyzed using the ME-OG62 and Ag-GRA21 methods (gravimetric finish). For Au-SCR21 a large volume of sample is needed (typically 1-3kg). The sample is crushed and screened (usually to -106 micron) to separate coarse gold particles from fine material. After screening, two aliquots of the fine fraction are analysed using the traditional fire assay method. The fine fraction is expected to be reasonably homogenous and well represented by the duplicate analyses. The entire coarse fraction is assayed to determine the contribution of the coarse gold.
