• Playfair Completes MMI Sampling on RKV AI Targets in Norway
Playfair has successfully completed field collection of 1,050 samples to evaluate 24 targets identified by an
Artificial Intelligence (AI) evaluation of a historic mining district in Norway. The samples have been shipped
to SGS laboratories in Burnaby, BC for MMI geochemical analysis.
The Rostvangen-Kvikne-Vakkerlien Project (RKV Project) covers 2 past -producing Besshi -type
Volcanogenic Massive Sulphi de (VMS) copper mines (Rostvangen and Kvikne), a nickel -copper deposit
(Vakkerlien) and over 20 additional known mineral occurrences. Playfair has signed an Option and
Exploration Agreement with EMX Royalty Corporation (EMX -TSX.V) to acquire a 100% intere st in EMX’s
contiguous Rostvangen and Vakkerlien properties in South Central Norway. Together the properties cover
almost 300 square kilometers in a historic mining area about 100km south of Trondheim by road.
MMI geochemistry is a proven advanced geochem ical exploration technique known to find mineral
deposits. SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS”) is the sole provider of MMI technology . SGS’s MMI technology is
especially well suited to detect buried mineral deposits. At the RKV Project, it will measure the mobile metal
ions that have been released from any underlying mineralization. These ions travel upward through the
soil profile composed of unconsolidated materials such soil, till, sand, etc. Using careful soil sampling
strategies, sophisticated chemical ligands and ultra -sensitive instrumentation, SGS can measure the
concentration of these ions. The main benefits of an MMI survey are the generation of very few false
anomalies. Any anomalies that are identified are sharp and focused directly over their source. The survey
has excellent repeatability and low detection limits.
Further information on the MMI method can be found on the MMI section of the SGS website

Playfair reviewed the CARDS AI evaluation completed by Albert Mining on behalf of Playfair and selected
24 targets for MMI follow -up. See the following link for details of the review and target selection
