Signature Resources Files NI 43-101 Technical Report for the initial Mineral
Resource for the Lingman Lake Project
Toronto, Ontario, Ju ly 31, 2025, Signature Resources Ltd. (TSXV: SGU, OTCQB: SGGTF,
FSE: 3S30) ("Signature" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the National Instrument
43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43- 101”) technical report for the
Lingman Lake Mine Project in Ontario, Canada has been filed and is the basis for the initial
mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) for the Lingman Lake Mine Project in the Kenora District,
Ontario. The report entitled “NI 43- 101 Technical Report of the Lingman Lake Mine Project,
Ontario, Canada for Signature Resources , LTD.” has an effective date of May 31, 2025. This
report has been prepared by the independent firm of Watts, Griffis and McOuat (“WGM”)
Geological and Mining Consultants. The Technical Report is available under the Company’s
SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
The MRE is a culmination of a total of 240 diamond drill holes including 33,309 assayed samples,
for a combined length of 43,222 metres (“m”) . The MRE (Table 1) consists of an Indicated
resource of 2.15 million tonnes with an average grade of 1.38 grams -per-tonne gold (“g/t Au”)
for an estimated 95,200 ounce of gold (“oz Au”), plus an inferred resource of 18.4 million tonnes
with an average grade of 1.14 g/t Au totalling 674,320 oz Au). About 5% of the gold ounces are
outside of the statistical gold- grade capping and estimation was relatively insensitive to cutoff
(Table 2) and modeling methodology . The current resource pit shell extends 1.6 k ilometres
(“km”) (West to East) with a maximum width of ~400 m and a maximum depth of about 340 m
below surface.
Table 1- Lingman Lake Deposit Mineral Resource Statement **
**A total of 240 diamond drill holes including 33,309 assayed samples, for a combined length of 43,222.59 m
were used in mineral resource estimation. 72 historical drill holes from 1945 and one drill hole from 1973 were
excluded from the mineral resource estimate. WGM was unable to verify these drill holes due to lack of a
core, lack of assay certificates and logs, no physical collar location, and lack of downhole surveys. A zero
value was assigned to all unsampled intervals which intersected mineralized zones by WGM. WGM has
reviewed the database and is satisfied with the integrity of the drilling database. WGM believes it is suitable
for a median mineral resource estimation. The MRE has been prepared for the Lingman Lake Deposit in

accordance with NI 43-101 and the current CIM definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral
Reserves (November 2019).

With the higher grades that reside in the upper portion of the deposit the resource is not highly
sensitive to changes in the cut-off grade. The MRE is reported using a cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t
Au. If the cut- off grade is raised to 1.00 g/t Au, estimated ounces would be approximately
531,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 1.99 g/t Au.
Table 2- Resource Sensitivity to Cut-Off Grade
The structures hosting the mineralization remain open to further drilling both east, west and at
depth. Modeling indicated the potential for a further mineralization outside the pit shell that could
be brought in with additional drilling and an extension of the conceptual pit shell during a future
mineral resource update. For additional highlights of the initial MRE please refer to the June
30,2025 press release, “Signature Resources Releases Initial Resource for Lingman Lake Gold
Deposit Hosted within a Single Open Pit”.
With this MRE completed, the Company has identified several opportunities to expand this
resource with a targeted drill program of approximately 6,000 m in 2025. The Company is
currently completing the design of this program but will focus on three key areas: 1) expanding
the mineral resource laterally, 2) infilling identified gaps in the existing drilling, and 3) extending
our knowledge of the deposit at depth that will allow the mineral resource to capture ounces that
fall just outside of the current pit design. Some of these holes will also be designed to test the

deeper extensions of the mineralization and expansion of the high-grade gold domains in the
Lingman Lake Deposit.
Qualified Person
The scientific and technical content of this press release have been reviewed and approved by
Mr. Walter Hanych, P. Geo, consultant and Head Geologist, is a Qualified Persons under NI 43-
101 regulations.
The mineral resource estimate presented herein represent the first mineral resource estimate
that has been prepared for Lingman Lake deposit in accordance with NI 43-101 and the current
CIM definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (November 2019). There
are 313 drill holes in the database provided to WGM related to Lingman Lake property. The
current mineral resource estimate for the Lingman Lake property prepared by WGM utilizes
results from 240 core boreholes drilled by previous owners of the property during the period of
1987 to 2024. The mineral resource estimation work was completed by Mr. Farshid Ghazanfari,
M.Sc., P.Geo., WGM Associate Resource Geologist, an independent Qualified Person as such
term is defined in NI 43- 101. Additional preparers of the technical report from WGM include:
Gerhard Kiessling, P.Geo., Associate Geologist; Marti Frennan, P.Eng., Associate Mining
Engineer; Cameron Finlayson, Manager, Exploration Services and Jeff Plate, CFA, P. Geo.,
Vice Presidetn, Mi neral Economics and Business Development. In the opinion of WGM, the
resource evaluation reported herein is a reasonable representation of the global gold resources
found in the Lingman property at the current level of sampling. The mineral resources were
estimated in conformity with generally accepted CIM Estimation of Mineral Resource and Mineral
Reserves Best Practices guidelines and are reported in accordance with NI 43- 101. Mineral
resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is
no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted into mineral reserve.
About Signature Resources Ltd.
The Lingman Lake gold property (the "Property") consists of 1,274 single- cell and 13 multi-cell
staked claims, four freehold fully patented claims and 14 mineral rights patented claims totaling
approximately 24,821 hectares. The Property includes what has historically been referred to as
the Lingman Lake Gold Mine, an underground substructure consisting of a 126.5- metre shaft,
and 3-levels at depths of 46- metres, 84-metres and 122-metres. There has been over 43,222
metres of drilling done on the Property and four 500-pound bulk samples that averaged 19 grams
per tonne of gold. In November 2023, Wataynikaneyap Power energized a new 115kV high
tension transmission line within 40 km of the historic Lingman Lake Mine
(https://www.wataypower.ca/).
