Marmot Overview

The 4049 hectare Project is located roughly six kilometres from the town of Stewart, British Columbia in the southeast part of a mineral-rich belt of Stikine terrane rocks that lies along the eastern flank of the Coast Mountains. The belt lies between the Iskut and Kitsault-Anyox areas and is centred on the town of Stewart, British Columbia.

Both the Unuk River and Salmon River Members of the Lower to MiddIe Jurassic Hazelton Group are present on the Property.  Voluminous resistant volcanic and associated volcaniclastic strata predominate in the area. The youngest volcanic members are bimodal, consisting mainly of basalt and rhyolite. Middle to Upper Jurassic Bowser Lake Group clastic rocks that conformably overlie the Hazelton Group may also be present.

The Eskay Creek mine of Skeena Resources Ltd. (formerly of Barrick Gold Corporation) is an extremely rich and profitable Au-Ag deposit near the northern end of the belt. The Eskay Creek deposit is interpreted to have formed in an environment transitional between subaqueous hot springs and exhalative volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS), and the geologic setting for the deposits similar to that of the Property. ‘Transitional' Eskay Creek-type deposits are models for exploration on the Property.

The regional metallogenic picture of the Iskut-Anyox belt suggests that potential also exists on the Property for the occurrence of other mineralization types. These include more typical VMS mineralization, possible ‘transitional-type' mineralization variously interpreted as veins or exhalative, both Ag-rich, precious and base metal veins, porphyry-related and shear-hosted mineralization.

Four mineral showings, four prospects, and one past-producer are located within the survey area (MinFile records).

*Note that MinFile coordinates are reportedly within 500m location accuracy
** Covered by the airborne geophysical survey but located outside of the mineral tenements

A helicopter-borne magnetics and radiometrics survey was flown over the mineral tenements during September 2018 by Granby. The objective was the interpretation of the airborne geophysical data to identify targets with response indicative of VMS style mineralization. The geophysical signature of the known occurrences was used as an analogue for identification of new targets. The geophysical survey covered an area of approximately 30.6km 2 on flight lines oriented at 040° azimuth at 100m intervals, and orthogonal control lines at 1000m intervals, for a total of 337 line-kilometres.

Two magnetic targets are of particular interest, as they are within the prospective Hazelton Group mixed volcanics and sedimentary sequence, and display a strong, isolated magnetic signature. What distinguishes these two targets is the relatively low Koenigsberger ratio indicative of low magnetic remanence, which suggests a different age of emplacement or subsequent alteration. One pair of spatially related potassium and magnetic anomalies fits the classical VMS geophysical exploration model (M-02 and K-05) and is specifically recommended for further work. Other isolated and discordant potassium anomalies are generally recommended for ground truthing.

Readers are cautioned that the completion of any transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, negotiation of a definitive agreement in respect of such a transaction, the availability of financing on terms acceptable to the Company, and the receipt of any required regulatory and shareholder approvals. A transaction cannot be completed until these conditions are satisfied, and there can be no assurance that such a transaction, will be completed at all.

Extensive surficial float evidence indicates a series of high-interest gold systems (see www. cacheexploration.com/CAY-NR-10-26-17 to view plan maps of Rusty Zone and East Gold Point, section showing select KI17-004 and -005 drill results and Maps of rock and till sampling results.

Drilling has discovered multiple gold intercepts over 1 g/t Au in five discrete mineralized zones Rusty, Gold Point, East Gold Point, Cobalt and Amundsen. Significant expansion possible with five new target areas identified and ready for drilling. Exploration at Kiyuk Lake takes place in winter-spring (February – May) and summer-fall (June-October).

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Adyton Sparkles with 97 Percent Gain

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

Statistics Canada reported on Friday (May 30) that real gross domestic product (GDP) gained 0.5 percent during the first quarter of 2025. Even on a per capita basis, real GDP posted a strong 0.4 percent increase.

The agency primarily attributed the rise to a 1.6 percent increase in exports during the quarter. The higher export amounts were led by a 16.7 percent growth in passenger vehicle exports and a 12 percent rise in industrial machinery, equipment and parts exports, both of which were driven higher in response to imposed and threatened tariffs from the United States.
