Our primary focus is the Bornite copper-gold-silver Project in Oregon, and we believe U.S. investors should

Company has completed a preliminary geological model, expanded the Bornite land package, identified
additional breccia pipe-style exploration targets, commenced re-logging and re-assaying of preserved
historical drill core, and recently released historical drill intercepts from the Bornite Project. Our objective
is to continue systematically advancing Bornite through modern verification work, drill planning and
further technical evaluation, with the goal of supporting a potential future mineral resource estimate
prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and CIM standards.”
