*Effective December 6, 2024
The Chicobi Project covers 48,109 hectares and over 45 kilometers of strike along the Chicobi
Deformation Zone (CDZ), a major, yet under-explored structural break transecting the Abitibi greenstone
belt of Ontario and Quebec. Along the strike length of the Project, the CDZ is marked by the juxtaposition
of a large sedimentary basin and volcanic packages, and "Timiskaming-type" late-basin polymictic
conglomerates. The CDZ is analogous to the other major breaks that host world-class Au deposits of the
Abitibi, such as the Cadillac-Larder Lake, Casa-Berardi, and Sunday Lake - Lower Detour deformation
zones, and has the potential to host significant orogenic gold and VMS mineralisation.
The Company completed a phase of sonic overburden drilling, including 66 sonic drillholes in early
February 2024. This program was a continuation to the 55 sonic drillholes completed in 2023, for a total
of 121 infill sonic holes completed along the Roch-Can trend, an alteration corridor 17 kilometers in
strike length along the major volcanic-clastic sedimentary basin contact within the Chicobi Deformation
Zone. The trend is composed of strong sericite-carbonate-silica ± fuchsite-chloritoid alteration
associated with a massive to semi-massive sulphide-quartz breccia zone within mafic volcanic-felsic
volcanic-clastic sedimentary rock stratigraphy.
