ABOUT ROGUE
The Valley target on Snowline’s flagship Rogue Project is a newly discovered, bulk tonnage
style, reduced intrusion -related gold system (RIRGS), with geological similarities to multi -
million-ounce deposits currently in production such as Kinross’s Fort Knox Mine in Alaska
and Victoria Gold’s Eagle Mine in the Yukon. Early drill results demonstrate unusually high
gold grades for such a system , present near surface across drill intersections of hundreds of
metres. Gold is associated with bismuthinite and telluride minerals hosted in sheeted quartz
vein arrays within and along the margins of a one-kilometer-scale, mid-Cretaceous aged Mayo-
suite intrusion. Valley is an early -stage exploration project without a resource estimate, and
while initial results are encouraging, the presence or absence of an economically viable
orebody cannot be determined until additional work is completed.
The Rogue Project area hosts multiple intrusions similar to Valley along with widespread gold
anomalism in stream sediment, soil and rock samples. Elsewhere, RIRGS deposits are known
to occur in clusters. The Rogue Project is thus considered by the Company to have district -
scale potential for additional reduced intrusion-related gold systems.
