Smart Creek Project
Smart Creek is a 4187 Ha road-accessible project located in western Montana, a prolific
metallogenic province with superb copper pedigree in addition to a mining-savvy workforce.
Montana State is a pro-mining jurisdiction with active copper mines and exploration projects
including the giant Butte Mine owned by Montana Resources LLP that has included 5.4 Billion
Tonnes averaging 0.46 % Cu, 0.033 % Mo, and 4.30 g/t Ag1. The Smart Creek project is
characterized by:
1- Multiple UNTESTED Porphyry-skarn-CRD style alteration footprints with coincident
geophysical and geochemical signatures.
2- Extensive property-wide copper mineralization in rock and soil datasets. Historic drill
results with long copper intercepts and limited follow-up. 4+ target areas and the
opportunity to develop further exploration upside.

3- Reactive carbonate and diabase host rocks with the potential of yielding high-grade
mineralization.
The Company has the opportunity to unlock shareholder value by exploring this world -class
exploration asset and earning up to 60% in the project from partner Rio Tinto (see Norden
Crown news release from August 20, 2024).
Smart Creek Exploration Targeting
Exploration targeting has identified four key target areas including the Smart Creek porphyry
target (copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry mineralization), the Sunrise CRD target (copper-
gold-silver carbonate replacement mineralization), the Radio Tower Porphyry target (copper-
gold-molybdenum porphyry and carbonate replacement and skarn mineralization), and the
Smart Creek South target (exotic copper mineralization). Remarkable historic work includes:
1- Recent drilling in 2022 resulted in excellent copper assay results including a 109.73
meter @ 0.75% Cu; 18.74 g/t Ag intercept (SMCR0022; see NR dated August 20, 2024) 2.
2- Structurally controlled/replacement style gold targets at the Sunrise mine area with
historic grades of 6.22 g/t Au, 31.1 g/t Ag and 1.5% Cu3.
Ongoing and upcoming technical work plans include geological mapping, geochemistry, IP
geophysics and/or magnetotelluric geophysics. Drill targets are expected to be finalized in Q2
2025, with drilling expected to commence in the second half of 2025.
