The geophysical data reprocessing has highlighted strong U2/Th ratio radiometric anomalism both within, and interpreted to trend into, the Company’s Kirkpatrick, Inspiration and Quirke West Claim Blocks (Figure 5) where uranium anomalism and mineralisation have been identified by previous explorers (see NickelX ASX announcement dated 21st February 2024).
The High Priority Target areas identified by NickelX are now the focus of detailed field activities that have commenced, including mapping, sampling, drill hole siting, and engagement with first nations groups, while also evaluating additional opportunities within the district.
The claim blocks, collectively the Elliot Lake Uranium Project (Figure 3, Table 1), cover highly prospective uranium targets along strike from the Elliot Lake uranium district, which historically produced >360 Mlbs U3O8 from 13 underground mines1 (see NickelX ASX announcement dated 21st February 2024).
The Elliot Lake Uranium Project now comprises 41 multi-cell mining claims covering 180 km2. The Company is targeting conglomerate-hosted uranium and rare earth element (REE) mineralisation along the underexplored interpreted extensions to the historic, major uranium mining centre at Elliot Lake.
The targeted uranium mineralisation style is stratabound and consequently relatively continuous and predictable. The known deposits typically have excellent lateral and downdip grade and thickness continuity, providing potential for large-scale deposits (Figure 1).
The Project area is considered to have excellent year-round access, is close to infrastructure and service centres, electrical and water supplies and the world's largest commercial uranium refinery at Blind River (Figure 2), operated by uranium major Cameco Corporation.

The five discoveries confirm multiple copper-silver bearing layers within a 700-metre-thick sequence of interbedded sandstones in the AM District. Additionally, there is strong evidence to suggest that one of the newly discovered outcrops (Outcrop #2) is a continuation of the mineralized horizon at target AM-07, located approximately 1.5-km to the northeast. This supports the Company's interpretation that the copper-silver bearing layers in the AM District are continuous over large distances, similar to the Kupferschiefer and Kamoa-Kakula deposits.
"As we continue to obtain high-grade results and locate significant structural and stratiform copper-silver mineralization, the Company's staunch belief in Cesar as a potential for significant deposits comes ever closer to fruition," commented Brett Matich, CEO of Max.
"The AM-14 mapping and sampling outlines an area some 600 to 1000 metres by 1000 to 1200 metres, strongly supporting our belief in Cesar as a regional or district copper-silver target, as opposed to a cluster of smaller unrelated zones. We look forward to assay results in the coming weeks," he concluded.
Description of the Mineralisation
Preliminary work has determined that mineralization is hosted in layers of medium to fine-grained sandstone rich in organic material. The copper-silver bearing horizons are distributed across a 700-metre-thick package of interbedded sedimentary rocks that strike 240⁰ to 260⁰ and dip 30⁰ to 45⁰ northwest. Chalcocite, malachite and azurite are the most abundant copper minerals observed in the outcrop (refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3).
All five of the outcropping mineralized beds are open along strike and at Outcrop #2, the copper-silver bearing sandstone horizon could be traced along strike for over a distance of 285m. Similarly, at Outcrop #5, the mineralized horizon exposed for over 130m before disappearing under cover. Layer thickness ranges from 0.8m at Outcrop #4 to 4.0m at Outcrop #5.
Systematic channel sampling of the mineralized outcrop has now commenced. In addition, crews have begun detailed mapping in the vicinity of the discovery with the goal of extending the footprint of mineralization.

Background
The Cesar Copper Silver Project comprises three districts: AM, Conejo and URU. Collectively the three contiguous districts stretch over 120-km in NNE/SSW direction (refer to Figure 6).
Figure 6: Location and Scale of the Cesar Copper Silver Project, NE Colombia
This region provides access to major infrastructure established for oil & gas and mining operations, including Cerrejón, the largest coal mine in South America, held by global miner Glencore. Max's twenty mining concessions collectively span over 188-km².
In 2022, Max executed a 2-year co-operation agreement with Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSX: EDR) (NYSE: EXK), which assists in expanding its 100% owned landholdings; Endeavour will hold an underlying 0.5% NSR.
AM District
Starting in the far north of the Jurassic basin, classic stacked red bed outcrops with extensive lateral continuity have been rock sampled over many kilometres within the AM District. Highlight values of 34.4% copper and 305 g/t silver have been documented in the sedimentary red bed sequences. The Company confirmed that stratiform mineralization continues at depth with two scout drill holes completed earlier this year (Max News Release dated April 4, 2023). In addition, Colombian field crews continue to discover and sample new mineralized outcrops including at the recently identified AM-7 target (Max News Release dated May 25, 2023 and Max News Release dated June 22, 2023).
Conejo District
Midway south, the Conejo District is the most recent to be recognized and is characterized by structurally controlled mineralization hosted in intermediate and felsic volcanic rocks. Numerous mineralized outcrops have been discovered over 3.7-km at the primary target in the district with surface samples averaging 4.9% copper (2% cut-off). No drilling has been conducted at Conejo, but it has emerged as an area of focus for the Company.
URU District
Mineralization within the URU District is hosted in intermediate volcanic rocks and is structurally controlled, similar to deposits in the Central African Copper Belt. At URU-C, a 9.0m of 7.0% copper and 115 g/t silver surface discovery was confirmed at depth by drill hole URU-12, which intersected 10.6m of 3.4% copper and 48 g/t silver. At the URU-CE target, 750m to the east, 19.0m of 1.3% copper discovered in outcrop was confirmed by drill hole URU-9, which intersected a broad zone of copper oxide returning 33.0m of 0.3% copper from 4.0m, including 16.5m of 0.5% copper (Max News Release date January 24, 2023).
Cesar Target Evaluation
Max has identified and is evaluating 28 targets along the 120-km-long belt for potential drill testing. The Company is focused on expanding, refining, and prioritizing these targets in preparation for a drill program. Initial efforts have been concentrated on those targets with the greatest size potential with work that includes the following field activities:
Regional Exploration
Max has demonstrated that the Cesar basin is fertile for copper-silver mineralization over a large area; however, only a fraction of the basin has been explored. As a result, Max has dedicated one of its geological teams to regional exploration with the goal of discovering additional copper-silver prospects within its land package covering more than 1,000 sq-km.

MAX RESOURCE CORP. (TSXV: MAX) (OTC Pink: MXROF) (FSE: M1D2) ("Max" or the "Company") is pleased to report it has discovered another significant mineralized outcrop at its AM District, within its 100% owned Cesar Copper-Silver Project, Northeastern Colombia. The new target, AM-08 is located approximately 7-km southeast of the AM-07 discovery (refer to Figure 2 and Max News Release dated June 22, 2023).
"This new and exciting discovery reinforces Max's thesis that the Cesar Copper-Silver Project may host multiple stand-alone deposits. The Max field team has now identified 22 targets across three separate districts of the 90-km Cesar copper-silver belt: AM, Conejo and URU," commented VP Exploration, Bruce Counts.
"In addition, Max's 4,000-line-km high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the entire AM District is well underway. Survey results will be used to refine existing targets and identify new targets by mapping the lithologies and the geological structures that control mineralization," he concluded.
Figure 1: Images of Outcrop at Target AM-08 and rock specimen with primary copper minerals Chalcocite and Malachite
Preliminary work on the new AM-08 outcrop has determined the copper-silver mineralization is hosted in a steeply dipping structure within a porphyritic rhyolite, a type of felsic volcanic rock, and that it is exposed across a width of 10m before disappearing under cover. Chalcocite and malachite are the most abundant copper minerals observed in the outcrop with minor amounts of chalcopyrite and covellite also present (refer to Figure 1).
Systematic channel sampling of the mineralized outcrop has now commenced, and crews have begun detailed mapping in the vicinity of the new discovery with the goal of extending the footprint of mineralization. Drone video of the AM-08 discovery can be viewed here.

Rio Silver Inc. ("Rio Silver" or the "Company") (TSX.V: RYO) is pleased to announce it has finalized a surface access agreement ("the Agreement") with the local Community for a period of one year at the Company's Jorimina Project, an advanced goldsilver project near the city of Ayachucho in south central Peru.
A recently completed Environmental Impact Study and community workshops aided by the President and Council of the local community, represent the final steps of the drill permitting application process and allow for the initiation of activities at this highly prospective, bulk tonnage gold and silver target located at the Company's wholly owned, Jorimina, Gold / Silver Project.
Jorimina was previously a joint venture project of Newmont, one of the world's largest gold producers, that earned its interest from Southern Peru Copper by spending $US 7 million outlining that it was in fact a precious metals dominant deposit. Newmont performed extensive geophysical and geochemical exploration programs followed by a detailed metallurgical review as part of an internal preliminary economic analysis. This was based upon their initial diamond drilling campaign, which was a fence or row of widely spaced diamond core drilling holes, that transected the property. A planned follow up, resource defining, diamond drilling campaign was never realized due to a major market correction in 2012. The Company is in receipt of all the data generated and summarized in the 2012 Newmont report, which strongly recommended advancement of the project for which, upon a successful resource defining drill evaluation, could be capable of supporting a robust midsized mining operation.
Rio Silver expects receipt of the necessary drill permitting late in Q3, 2024, and is working with potential drill contractors to prepare to mobilize crews and equipment upon the receipt of the permits and minor property access upgrades.
Rio Silver's President, Chris Verrico, states" We are very pleased to have been able to advance Jorimina towards resource delineation, truly an exceptional milestone while we look forward to very strong precious metals pricing. Newmont had used a $1200/oz gold value at Jorimina in their preliminary economic analysis at Jorimina. It is an exciting entry point for future valuation gains! Rio Silver has a very successful track record of permitting successes and a very focused and experienced team that can deliver on our objectives. Our recent success with community engagement and permitting advances, may aid our ability to engage the community that is associated with the adjoining Ninobamba, high sulfidation, epithermal silver/gold deposit located just 6.5 kilometers east from Jorimina, under one continuous land holding and another opportunity for an accretive valuation increase for Rio Silver shareholders.
Rio Silver is a resource development company that has been selectively acquiring and advancing precious metal assets that afford the best possible leverage and returns in anticipation of an increasingly more favorable precious metals bull market. Both our Niñobamba and Jorimina area Au/Ag targets are suggestive of near surface, bulk mineable open pit targets.
We remain ever impressed and optimistic by the resilience and ingenuity of our host country as the Government continues to endorse supportive mining policies ensuring continued growth and opportunity throughout Peru.

The 2024 drill program is targeting the western extension as an area that holds significant promise for higher grades closer to surface and at depth. The presence of this higher-grade material, along with promising ongoing metallurgical testwork, can potentially further enhance the overall project economics. The focus for 2024 will be on optimization, which will involve additional drilling, including drilling large-diameter holes (PQ) to facilitate additional metallurgical testwork.
Holes GS2401 was a vertical hole drilled to a depth of 946.1 meters to confirm the south-dipping nature of the mineralization. The portions with higher grades to the west of Willow Creek consistently showed south-dipping characteristics similar to those within the central portion of the Dolphin-Cleary deposit.
Hole GS2402 was drilled at an azimuth of 315 degrees and with a -50-degree dip. It was intended to refine the orientation of the higher-grade mineralization in the western portion of the Dolphin-Cleary deposit further. It started within the intrusive to a depth of 130 metres before entering the schist unit, which continued to the bottom of the hole.

Work is in progress on the updated mineral resource estimate by an independent third party.
In 2023, the drill program at Golden Summit successfully discovered higher-grade mineralization on the western side of the existing resource. Building on this success, in 2024, the plan is to continue drilling on the western portion of the Dolphin/Cleary deposit and extend the drilling coverage further to the west. Three distinct geochemical trends have been identified: two south-southwest flanking trends and a clear east-west trend spanning an additional 1.5 km. As Golden Summit is non-glaciated, the surface geochemistry has proven to be an excellent indicator of near-surface gold mineralization. The 2024 drill program aims to explore these trends to identify higher-grade mineralization to improve the overall resource grade before commencing with economic studies. The current pit-constrained primary mineral resource at Golden Summit ( Feb. 2023 ), using a $1,792 gold price and a 0.45 g/t cut-off, is 12,011,000 oz @ 0.92 g/t Au (407,544,000t) indicated and 7,736,000 oz @ 0.85 g/t Au (282,303,000t) inferred.

In addition to the ongoing drill program, metallurgical, baseline environmental, cultural resource, and wetland studies are underway.
A sample quality control/quality assurance program has been in place throughout the program. Drill cores were cut in half using a diamond saw, with one-half placed in sealed bags for preparation and subsequent geochemical analysis by ALS Laboratories. Core samples were prepared in ALS's facility using the PREP-31BY package. Each core sample is crushed to better than 70 %, passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.10) screen. A split of 1kg is taken and pulverized to better than 85 % passing a 75-micron (Tyler 200 mesh, US Std. No. 200) screen; a portion of this pulverized split is digested by Four Acid and analyzed via ICP-AES (method code ME-ICP61). Fire Assay analyzes all samples with an AAS finish, method code Au-AA23 (30g sample size) and over 10 g/t are automatically assayed using a FA Grav method, Au-GRAV21. Additional Au screening is performed using ALS's Au- SCR24 method; select samples are dry-screened to 100 microns. A duplicate 50g fire assay is conducted on the fine fraction, and an assay is conducted on the entire oversize fraction. Total Au content, individual assays, and weight fractions are reported. Analytical and assay procedures are conducted in ALS's North Vancouver and Reno facilities.
A QA/QC program included laboratory and field standards inserted every ten samples. Blanks are inserted at the start of the submittal, and at least one blank every 25 standards.

Such factors include, without limitation, the completion of planned expenditures, the ability to complete exploration programs on schedule, and the success of exploration programs. See Freegold's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31st, 2023 , filed under Freegold's profile at www.sedar.com , for a detailed discussion of the risk factors associated with Freegold's operations. On January 30, 2020 , the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global health emergency. Reactions to the spread of COVID-19 continue to lead to, among other things, significant restrictions on travel, business closures, quarantines, and a general reduction in economic activity. While these effects have been reduced in recent months, the continuation and re-introduction of significant restrictions, business disruptions, and related financial impact, and the duration of any such disruptions cannot be reasonably estimated. The risks to Freegold of such public health crises also include employee health and safety risks and a slowdown or temporary suspension of operations in geographic locations impacted by an outbreak. Such public health crises, as well as global geopolitical crises, can result in volatility and disruptions in the supply and demand for various products and services, global supply chains, and financial markets, as well as declining trade and market sentiment and reduced mobility of people, all of which could affect interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk, and inflation. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, Freegold has implemented a COVID management program and established a full-service Camp at Golden Summit to attempt to mitigate risks to its employees, contractors, and community. While the extent to which COVID-19 may impact Freegold is uncertain, it is possible that COVID-19 may have a material adverse effect on Freegold's business, results of operations, and financial condition.
