About the Kraaipan Gold Project, Botswana

The Kraaipan Gold Project is comprised of

three

mineral concessions covering the 60 km strike extent of the

Kraaipan Greenstone Belt in Botswana. The KGB is a highly prospective Archean greenstone belt that straddles

the Botswana

-

South Africa border, with proven mineral endowment including Harmony Go

ld’s Kalgold gold mine

in South Africa, approximately 40 km south of the Project. Past exploration of the northern extent of the KGB has

been challenged by Kalahari Desert sand cover, impacting approximately 8

0% of the KGB within Botswana. The

sand cover, while extensive, is typically less than 20m over much of the Project but can locally reach depths of up

to 70m. Limited past exploration of the KGB in Botswana has identified local gold mineralization in shall

ow drilling

of exposed banded iron formation (BIF) targets. A

focus of new exploration

is

to identify BIF

-

related gold

mineralisation beneath the sand cover. To do this,

North Arrow

is

working with

Rockman Resources Limited’s

highly experienced Botswana

-

based exploration team, who are capable of deploying cost

-

effective proprietary

exploration solutions including drone geophysics, truck

-

mounted drilling and, potentially deep machine learning

technol

ogies to rapidly advance the Project.

As detailed in a news release dated

October 28, 2024

, North Arrow is currently working to earn a 60% interest in

the Project by investing US$5 million by June 30, 2027, including a firm commitment to invest US$1 million by

June 30, 2025.
