Marvel Discovery Corp. (TSX-V:MARV)(FRA:O4T)(OTCQB:MARVF) ("Marvel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired 100% of additional ground ("Pecors West") east of Elliot Lake to complement its East Bull Property. The additional land package of 805 hectares (ha) brings the land holdings in the area to a total of 6,157 ha. (Figure 1
The Pecors West property has the potential to host three unique styles of mineralization under the critical metals criteria:
"The Pecors West property is a dynamic piece of ground with significant potential for Ni-Cu-PGM mineralization and uranium and rare-earth oxide mineralization in two completely different geological settings", Mr. Karim Rayani, Chief Executive Officer, commented. "The new land acquisition puts Marvel contiguous to the Eco Ridge Project with almost 60 Mt of uranium and rare-earth oxide resources. Drilling by Five Nine Ventures intersected shallow uranium mineralization along the Pecors Channel in 2012, and in 2015 PGM+Ni+Cu mineralization was intersected by International Montoro within the extensive Pecors magnetic anomaly, now held by Power One Resources (SpinCo from Mavel). This land acquisition gives Marvel a sizeable area of influence in the camp."
The Pecors Channel (Figure 1) located next door to the new land acquisition contains an inferred resource of 20,000,000 tons grading 0.037% (0.74 lbs./t) U3O8 or 14,800,000 lbs. U3O8 (Rio Algom,
1977). This resource estimated is based on limited drilling and there is potential to expand the Pecors Channel onto the Pecors West property. Uranium is hosted within the quartz-pebble conglomerate of the Matinenda Formation at shallow depths within the Pecors Channel. ‘Channels' within the Elliot Lake uranium camp were mined extensively in the 1950s where production grades averaged 0.100% U3O8. The resource estimate cited above predates and therefore does not conform to the more stringent reporting requirements of National Instrument 43-101 and should not be relied upon according to those standards. Marvel has not yet done exploration work to verify or classify the historical estimates as a current mineral resource, and the Company is not treating the historical estimates as a current mineral reserve or resource.
The Pecors West property also hosts the potential for significant PGM- Ni-Cu mineralization related to the Pecors Magnetic anomaly, a large regional magnetic high extending 18 km long and 4 km wide and largely hidden beneath Huronian sediments (Figure 2). The source of the magnetic anomaly has been confirmed to be at least partially comprised of lithologies of gabbroic affinity by International Montoro drilling in 2015. Hole P15-23 drilled by International Montoro intersected 0.33 g/t Pt+Pd+Au and 0.11% Cu and 0.04% Ni over 12m within contact style mafic intrusive mineralization. This style of mineralization appears similar to the East Bull PGM deposit to the east where Quest Critical Metals Inc., (formerly Canadian Palladium) reports a total indicated resources of 16.5 million tonnes at a grade of 0.93 g/t PdEq (see Quest Critical Metals news release dated February 22, 2023).
The Pecors West property is contiguous to Radio Fuels Corp. (CSE:CAKE) Eco Ridge Project where indicated resources total 22.306 Mt grading 0.045% U3O8and 1,613 ppm REO (rare-earth oxides) and inferred resources total 36.955 Mt grading 0.046 % U3O8 and 1,560 ppm REO (https://radiofuels.ca/).

Marvel Discovery Corp. (TSXV:MARV)(Frankfurt:O4T)(OTCQB:MARVF) ("Marvel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company is planning a till sampling exploration program at its Victoria Lake Property for Q2 2024. The project is being planned as a follow-up to reconnaissance till and soil sampling completed in 2023 that identified anomalous gold. The Victoria Lake Property is situated over more than 15 kilometres of the Victoria Lake Shear Zone (VLSZ), part of an extensive fault corridor within Central Newfoundland that Honsberger et al. (2022)1 identified as emerging as one of the most prospective orogenic gold domains in Atlantic Canada. The project will further follow up on the second highest regional gold-in-till sample identified by the Newfoundland Geoscience Atlas, which reported 785 ppb Au from a sample collected within Marvel's Victoria Lake project
Karim Rayani, Chief Executive Officer, commented; "Results from Marvel's 2023 reconnaissance till and soil sampling program were very exciting, and identified multiple gold anomalies within the western part of the property. The reconnaissance program was intended to investigate the potential for structures associated with the Cape Ray Fault Zone and Victoria Lake Shear Zone. Anomalous gold was identified in over 20% of the 2023 samples, and our 2024 program will follow up with more detailed sampling over anomalous zones. The project is located over an extensive fault and shear zone corridor which is host to numerous gold occurrences that include the nearby Valentine Gold Project. Recent news of the acquisition of the Valentine Gold Project, we believe, is a reaffirmation of our views that this entire area has immense potential for further discovery, and the reason Marvel acquired such a significant land holding. Marvel's substantial position in this camp is second only to Calibre (see Figure 1), and includes the crucial southwest extension of the Victoria Lake Shear Zone and fault corridor. In recent months we have announced a strategic reduction of some of Marvel's holdings in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, as we focus on our core holdings. The Victoria Lake Project is now regarded as one of our highest priority projects within the province. As gold prices surge and global uncertainties persist, our bullish outlook on gold has never been stronger, and we remain committed to and focused on the acquisition and exploration of Tier One Projects. Exploring a significant portion of one of Newfoundland's most prospective gold-bearing structures is not only thrilling but a discovery at Victoria Lake has the potential to transform Marvel and benefit our loyal shareholders."
Results from Marvel's spring 2023 program were reported on August 14, 2023 (see press release dated August 14, 2023). The 2023 exploration program conducted till sampling over two geological targets as part of the Company's investigation of the potential for structures associated with the Cape Ray Fault - Victoria Lake Shear Zone corridor. Marvel plans to complete an enhanced program of till sampling over the area in late spring-early summer 2024 and will follow up with additional sampling in areas where anomalous gold was identified. The second highest regional gold-in-till sample in the Newfoundland Geoscience Atlas database which reported 785 ppb Au was collected from within Marvel's Victoria Lake project, and the north survey grid for 2024 is intended to follow up on this historic high-grade anomaly.
Figure 1. Location of Marvel's Victoria Lake Property and Calibre Mining Corp's Valentine Gold Project in Central Newfoundland, Canada.
The Cape Ray Fault is an extensive fault corridor that is well recognized as being highly fertile for structural gold mineralization and is host to well-known gold occurrences that include the Cape Ray Deposit, the Valentine Gold Deposit, and the Wilding Lake Prospect. Marvel's Victoria Lake Property represents one of the largest land packages on strike and contiguous to Calibre Mining Corp.'s ("Calibre") Valentine Gold Project. The recent purchase of Marathon by Calibre (Calibre Mining Completes Acquisition of Marathon Gold - Junior Mining Network) marked a significant milestone for this entire area with their intention for an accelerated mine development phase. The Valentine Gold Project is anticipated to contribute an expected annual gold production of 195,000 ounces at a cost of USD$1,007 per ounce during the first 12 years of production starting in 2025. (https://calibremining.com/news/calibre-and-marathon-announce-combination-to-creat-6555/) The Valentine Lake shear zone plays a pivotal role in hosting gold mineralization within this entire camp with ongoing exploration and studies providing a greater understanding of this regional scale structure (https://journals.lib.unb.ca/index.php/ag/article/view/32972). Marvel's detailed studies of this area have demonstrated the potential for the continuation of this major structure to continue across the Victoria Lake Property (see Figure 2).

Marvel Discovery Corp. (TSX-V:MARV)(Frankfurt:O4T)(MARVF:OTCQB); ( "Marvel " or the "Company" ) is pleased to report that the Company has completed drilling operations on its Ni-Cu-Co and Ti-V-Cr Duhamel property (the " Property ") located 350 kilometers (km) north of Quebec City, QC (Figure 1
Karim Rayani, Chief Executive Officer , states , "We are thrilled with the results of our inaugural drill campaign at our Duhamel project. Every hole was successful in intersecting our interpreted target horizons -intersecting disseminated, semi-massive and/or massive sulfide zones. At this state we have decided to pause our drilling operations and now will focus our efforts on both field and desktop studies to help us gain a better understanding of both the genesis and structural setting of these exciting massive sulfide zones. While we wait for assays on all holes, we will be conducting low frequency Borehole and Surface Time Domain Electromagnetics to assist with future targeting areas. Our field geologist is most excited with these initial results and seeing mineralized textures suggestive of these sulfides being part of a much larger sulfide pool, and we eagerly anticipate the Geophysical results to help us vector towards the higher conductance and thicker sulfide zones."
Phase 1 drilling consisted of 5 holes totaling 1,218m ( table 1 ), which targeted numerous priority airborne and ground EM conductors within the Houlière block (figure 2 ). Historical work within the Property and surrounding areas have shown these conductors are the primary target horizons.
Several sulfide-rich mineralization intervals were intersected on the five drillholes which drilled into mafic-ultramafic magmatic rocks suite located in the margin of a large anorthosite body named Saguenay Lac-Saint- Jean SLSJ Anorthosite Suite.
The first hole drilled, DU24-01, intersected a wide, 33.0m, interval of disseminated sulfide mineralization from a hole depth 69.0m- 102.0m and within this are semi-massive stringers and massive sulfide zones ranging from widths of 10cm-60cm hosted in mafic-ultramafic magmatic rocks. Other sulfide mineralization intervals were intersected in hole DU24-01 and they are at 120.5m (5.5m), at 134m (1.0m); at 143.0m (11.3m), at 159.1m (1.6m), at 172.2m (2.4m), at 204.5m (1.6m), at 226.6m (0.7m), at 239.8m (0.3m), at 244.3m (1.0m), at 258.6m (1.5m), and at 314.2m (2 cm wide). An example of one of these massive sulfide bands with shows tremendous potential for nickel, copper, and cobalt mineralization intersected in drillhole DU24-01 is highlighted in figure 3. Semi-massive and massive Fe-Ti oxide (MOX) bands ticking up to several meters in width were also intersected in this hole some of which contains sulfides clusters and stringers.
The second hole drilled, DU24-02, intersected a wide, 13.9m, interval of disseminated sulfides mineralization from a hole depth 7.5m- 21.4m and within this are semi-massive stringers and massive sulfide zones ranging from widths of 10cm-70cm. An example of one of these semi-massive sulfide bands with shows tremendous potential for nickel, copper, and cobalt mineralization intersected in drillhole DU24-02 is highlighted in figure 4. Other same disseminated sulfides intervals with semi-massive stringers and massive sulfide zones ranging from widths of 5cm-40cm were intersected at 32.0 (0.8m), at 37.8m (5.9m), at 99.8m (3.6m), at 135.8m (7.6m), at 169.8m (18.2m), and at 231.2m (5.7m). Semi-massive and massive Fe-Ti oxide (MOX) bands ticking up to several meters in width were also intersected in this hole some of which contains sulfides clusters and stringers.
Hole DU24-03, intersected a wide, 10.3m, interval of disseminated mineralization from a hole depth 88.6m - 98.9m and within this are semi-massive sulfide stringers and clusters zones ranging from widths of 10-50cm. Other same disseminated mineralized intervals with semi-massive stringers and massive sulfide zones ranging from widths of 5cm-80cm were intersected at 111.3m (2.5m), and at 121.5m (2.0m). Semi-massive and massive Fe-Ti oxide (MOX) bands ticking up to several meters in width were also intersected in this hole.
The Hole DU24-04 intersected a wide, 17.3m, interval of disseminated sulfides mineralization from a hole depth 21.7m - 39.0m and within this are semi-massive stringers zone 10cm-90cm. Noteworthy within hole DU24-04 is a significant vein of massive chalcopyrite with pyrrhotite mineralization over the interval of 79.7m - 80.1m which is highlighted in figure 5. Other same disseminated sulfide intervals with semi-massive stringers zones ranging from widths of 5cm-70cm were intersected at 71.9m (2.0m), at 76.0m (2.1m), at 89.2m (3.6m), and at 104m (1.3m).
The hole drilled, DU24-05, intersected a wide, 10.8m, interval of disseminated sulfides mineralization from a hole depth 115.0m - 125.8m and within this are semi-massive stringers and massive sulfide zones ranging from widths of 10cm-120cm. An example of these massive sulfide bands with shows a potential for nickel, copper, and cobalt mineralization intersected in drillhole DU24-05 is highlighted in figure 6 to 8. Other disseminated sulfides intervals with semi-massive stringers and massive sulfide zones ranging from widths of 5cm-120cm were intersected at 57.4m (4.4m), at 95.1m (5.6m), at 145.8m (6.4m), and at 197.2m (3.8m, open down hole). Fe-Ti oxide (MOX) mineralization as dissemination, as semi-massive and massive iticking up to dozen meters in width were intersected in this hole: at 10.0m (14.5m), at 33.0m (25.6m), at 74.7m (20.4m), and at 110.9m (10.4m). Those contains a potential for titanium and chromium.
Duhamel Project
For general information, the Duhamel Property currently contains seven (7) occurrences of Ni-Cu-Co sulfides and one (1) Fe-Ti-V iron oxide occurrence discovered between 1997 to 2001 by previous operators who defined a 13 km long mineralized rock corridor (Figure 4). Drill intercept highlights include 1.27% Ni, 0.33% Cu, and 0.12% Co over 3.0 meters by Virginia Gold Mines in 2000 that contained massive sulfides. The recalculation of 100% sulfides gave 2.42% Ni over 0.5m (hole 1279-2001-29 gave 1.4% Ni over 0.5m). Compilation of historic assessment reports to date reveals more than thirty (30) Ni-Cu (Co) and four (4) Fe-Ti (V, Cr) mineral occurrences which confirms this corridor to be highly prospective for new Ni-Cu-Co discoveries, as well as Fe-Ti (Cr, V) discoveries.
Further to the compilation of previously filed assessment reports Marvel recovered from historical data a grab sample (from massive Iron-Titanium Oxides), the result assaying 0.28% V 2 O 5 associated with 20.8% T i O 2 and 0.13%Cr 2 0 3 .
The Duhamel project is located between Chutes-des-Passes and Pipmuacan Reservoir deformation zones (or areas) included in central part of Proterozoic Grenville Geological Province (Figure 2). The Duhamel Property is characterized by the presence of large mafic to ultramafic intrusive rock bodies located in northern margin of the Saguenay‐Lac‐Saint‐Jean (SAGLSJ) Anorthosite Suite, one of the largest anorthosite intrusive bodies in the world. The Chute-des-Passes-Pipmuacan reservoir areas contains numerous massive sulfide and iron oxide mineralization occurrences recognized and documented by the Quebec government ( Sigeom, Figure 9 ).

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE/ February 7, 2024 / Marvel Discovery Corp. (TSX-V:MARV)(Frankfurt:O4T)(MARVF:OTCQB); ( "Marvel " or the "Company" ) is pleased to report a corporate update letter in an address to shareholders from its Chief Executive Officer, Karim Rayani.
Dear Shareholders ,
As we embark on a new year, fueled by unwavering determination and a shared vision, we eagerly anticipate not only continuing our ambitious plan of furthering collaborative partnerships but to continue to look for value generation prospects. In the midst of this persistently challenging market landscape, timing remains paramount. The macro environment for precious metals and energy presents unprecedented opportunities, yet a perplexing disparity persists for companies despite the favorable backdrop.
Marvel's core and long-term philosophy remains the same. We are a versatile multi-commodity enterprise, spanning a wide array of valuable resources-from battery metals and energy to precious metals, and this diverse portfolio positions us strategically for future success as demand returns. We continue to strengthen the value proposition, with a strategic focus on both advancement and acquisition. Our portfolio spans a diverse range which makes us a unique proposition compared to our peers, especially in our market capitalization.
Notably, we've recently expanded our land holdings at the KLR-Walker Uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin , an area renowned for hosting the world's highest-grade uranium mines. This expansion positions us alongside industry giants such as Cameco and Fission , underscoring our commitment to unlocking the immense potential of uranium. Additionally, our presence in the Wollaston-Mudjactic Transition Zone aligns us with the success stories of basement-hosted uranium deposits, exemplified by NexGen Energy's Arrow Deposit -the largest undeveloped uranium deposit in Canada. Marvel is also uniquely positioned having one of the largest land positions next door to Atlantic's largest gold deposit - Valentine deposit, previously held by Marathon Gold, now purchased by Caliber Mining (January 24, 2024). As we continue to explore and develop our mineral assets, we remain steadfast in our pursuit of excellence and growth. This combined with our Nickel, Cobalt and Copper prospects in Quebec, Rare Earth projects in BC, and Gold Projects throughout Newfoundland and Ontario, make us uniquely positioned.
Highlights of our recent work include:
Marvel has that decided it will not be proceeding with its green fields prospects in Newfoundland, the Valentine South West, Slip, and Gander area prospects to enable the Company to focus resources on its more advanced prospects at Hope Brook, where Piedmont Lithium recently acquired a sizable interest in the neighboring project from Benton Resources, and its Victoria Lake Project adjacent to Caliber Mining's recent purchase of Marathon's Golds Valentine Deposit.
Marvel is opportunistically positioned in the Battery Metals, Rare Earth, Gold and Energy (Uranium) sectors.

Rua Gold offers a compelling investment opportunity driven by its highly promising gold assets in New Zealand’s historic gold-producing regions, and supported by the government’s renewed focus on fast tracking economic growth.
Rua Gold (TSXV:RUA,OTC:NZAUF,WKN:A4010V,OTCQB:NZAUF) is a gold exploration company focused on two prolific, historic gold-producing regions in New Zealand: Hauraki Goldfield and Reefton Goldfield. Both these regions boast of previous high-grade gold production, with more than 15 million ounces (Moz) produced in the Hauraki district and over 2 Moz in the Reefton Goldfield. New Zealand is a tier 1 mining jurisdiction with highly prospective geology, and a skilled workforce. The new government of New Zealand has committed to promoting economic growth through mining- and business-friendly policies, such as the Fast Track Approval Bill, which proposes quicker approval timelines for a range of projects, including mining.
New Zealand has a rich history of gold production from orogenic deposits (+9 Moz), epithermal sources (+15 Moz), and alluvial deposits (+22 Moz). The country has low sovereign risk with no corruption, making it an attractive destination for mining investment.
The company has launched a fully funded exploration program at its properties. This includes a 2,500-meter diamond drill program focused on the Pactolus prospect at Reefton Goldfield.
Pactolus has returned assays for three of six holes drilled on the system, with hole DD_PAC_035 intersecting 2 meters @ 5.13 grams per ton (g/t) gold. Additional work is required to accurately model this zone's geometry before proceeding with further drilling at this prospect. Consequently, the company anticipates redirecting its focus towards the previously productive areas in Reefton in the near future, which includes the Murray Creek, Crushington, Capleston and Caledonian historic districts. These historic mines collectively produced ~700 koz at 25.2 g/t within a radius of ~20 kms.
The company has applied for a minimum impact access agreement with the New Zealand Department of Conservation for the Glamorgan project. Once granted, the company will commence an exploration program that includes soil sampling, magnetic and resistivity geophysical surveys, and geological mapping.
Rua Gold benefits from a team of professionals boasting extensive expertise in geology and mining. The company’s board of directors is led by Oliver Lennox-King (Fronteer, Roxgold), who has a successful track record developing projects and companies.
Rua Gold holds six project areas at the Reefton Goldfield – Northern, Capleston, Murray Creek, Ajax, Crushington and Southern. The Reefton district has a rich history of gold production with over 2 Moz of gold recovered at 24.5 g/t. Among the noteworthy findings from recent years of exploration is the greenfield discovery of the Pactolus quartz vein. Sampling and assays conducted thus far have unveiled significant concentrations of high-grade gold in this vein.
Pactolus: Pactolus is a new surface greenfield discovery made by Rua Gold in 2021. Pactolus has returned assays for three of six holes drilled on the system, with hole DD_PAC_035 intersecting 2 meters @ 5.13 g/t gold and hole DD_PAC_036 intersecting 2 meters @ 3.61 g/t gold.
Initial findings and observations validate the southern extension of the Pactolus system by 550 meters, showcasing substantial mineralization at surface. However, accurately determining the plunge and quality of the ore shoots presents a challenge. An additional update is expected upon receipt of results from the remaining drill holes.
Murray Creek prospects: Rua Gold’s systematic exploration has highlighted the potential for the rejuvenation of this district in renewed opportunities around the historic high-grade gold deposits. Rua Gold completed an extensive assessment of the historical mines situated within the company's tenements in the Reefton Goldfield, yielding five targets in the Murray Creek area.
Ongoing drill campaign at the Murray Creek prospects intersected visible gold and confirmed downhole continuity of high-grade gold mineralization.
The Glamorgan project comprises over 4,600 hectares in the Hauraki district on New Zealand’s North Island. Hauraki boasts of a substantial presence of high-grade gold and silver mining, with approximately 50 epithermal deposits mined since the 1860s. These deposits have yielded over 15 Moz of gold and 60 Moz of silver. Glamorgan has a 3.8 km zone displaying indications of gold mineralization, backed by soil and rock samples, suggesting the presence of an epithermal gold mineralized system at the property.
Glamorgan is located 2.8 kms north of Oceana Gold’s recent significant discovery at Wharekirauponga. The company has applied for a minimum impact access agreement with the New Zealand Department of Conservation. Once granted, the company will commence an exploration program that includes soil sampling, magnetic and resistivity geophysical surveys, and geological mapping.
After receiving a minimum impact access agreement (MIA) from the Department of Conservation for the Glamorgan project, the company has mobilized an exploration team that has made progress in collecting 2,000 of the planned 3,000 soil sample program; completing the first full phase of UAV drone magnetic geophysical surveying; and commencing ground geological mapping.
Based on initial surface soil geochemistry, interpreted geophysical structures, and geological mapping, there is preliminary evidence that the Glamorgan project has the hallmarks of a significant epithermal gold system, with surface features similar to the adjacent WKP gold deposit. Rua Gold will design a drill program and apply for a full access agreement by the end of the year to commence drilling.
