Fairchild Completes a Nevada Trinity with the Acquisition of Advanced Stage Carlin Queen Project
FAIRCHILD COMPLETES A NEVADA TRINITY WITH THE ACQUISITION OF
ADVANCED STAGE CARLIN QUEEN PROJECT
October 30th , 2025, Vancouver, British Columbia – via IBN – Fairchild Gold Corp. (“Fairchild”
or the “Company”) (TSXV: FAIR, Frankfurt: Y4Y, OTCID: FCHDF), is pleased to announce that
it has entered into a Binding Purchase Agreement (“BPA”) dated October 30th , 2025, with a private
arm’s length party, to acquire a 100% interest in the drill-ready Carlin Queen gold and silver
property strategically located along the Midas- and C arlin Gold Mines Trends in Nevada. The
property comprises 73 unpatented lode mining claims totaling 1,508 acres.
Carlin Queen Project: Drill-Ready, Multiple Target Gold-Silver Property
Carlin Queen is an advanced stage gold-silver exploration project situated at the intersection of the
Carlin- and Midas-Hollister gold trends (Figure 1). It lies 48 miles northwest of Elko, Nevada, and
about 11 miles northwest of the Goldstrike Mine complex of Nevada Gold Mines LLC. More than
98 million ounces of gold have been produced through 2022 from the world -class Carlin Trend
(Special Publication MI -2022, The Nevada Mineral Industry, Nevada Bureau of Mines and
Geology). It also lies adjacent to the north side of the Hollister Au -Ag mine of Hecla Mining
Company, a past-producer (~570,000 ounces of gold. plus silver) high grade Au-Ag mine, whose
original, pre-modern production ore reserve estimate by Great Basin Gold (Glanville, 2002) was at
1.29 oz/ton gold plus 7.00 oz./ton silver.

The nearby Midas Mine of Hecla had a pre- modern production ore estimate of 3,000,000 ounces
of gold at approximately 1 oz./ton gold and approximately 12 oz./ton silver (Goldstrand and
Schmidt, 2000). Midas to date has produced over 2,000,000 ounces of high-grade gold (plus silver),
underscoring the notable fertility of this region, and high gold stope grades that frequently were in
excess of 1 oz./ton gold.
The Carlin Queen project lies in a structurally domed area along the intersection of the faulted
Paleozoic rocks of the Carlin Trend and felsic volcanic flows, domes and tuffaceous rocks of the
Northern Nevada Rift volcanic field of Miocene age. Carlin Queen has gold-silver targets of both
Carlin-type of Eocene age, and low sulfidation epithermal vein - and breccia -fill and possible
disseminated types. Certain larger fault structures in the Hollister Mine extend northward into Carlin
Queen. Local anomalous values to 1500 ppm tungsten are present at Carlin Queen and the Hollister
Mine, suggesting the presence of a magmatic intrusion at depth and mineralized skarn-tactite rocks
that could host Gold Acres-type Carlin-style gold deposits.
In addition, a potentially significant deposit of bentonite clays is also present at the surface of the
Carlin Queen property . This deposit, accessible by road, needs a more thorough evaluation of its
size and grade.
Carlin Queen benefits from the past geological mapping of the entire property by the U.S.
Geological Survey and more recent mapping and geochemical sampling. Ground magnetic, gravity,
CSAMT and Induced Polarization geophysical surveys have been conducted on the property.
Carlin Queen hosts multiple untested large gold-silver target areas and step -out opportunities,
providing significant exploration upside for further gold and silver discoveries.
