Toogood Gold Project Highlights
• District scale land package covering 118 sq-km and 28 km of strike length along a
regional structural corridor that has proven to be prospective for gold deposits,
• Includes the drill-confirmed high-grade Quinlan Zone:
o Assay results from maiden drill program (2022) include: 23.90 g/t Au over
3.65 m, 18.27 g/t Au over 4.25 m and 9.40 g/t over 3.18 m.
o High-grade gold mineralization is hosted within a felsic dyke and has been
confirmed for 200 m along strike, 120 m down-dip and remains open in all
directions.
• Road accessible and fully permitted for drilling,
• Numerous additional occurrences with visible gold identified across the property.
Toogood Gold Project Overview
The Toogood Gold Project is located on New World Island, approximately 65 km north of
Gander, Newfoundland. The property is road accessible and lies at the northeast extent of
the Exploits Subzone, a major structural corridor in central Newfoundland. The Exploits
Subzone trends 200km northeast / southwest across the island of Newfoundland, and hosts
many of the significant gold deposits in the province, including Marathon Gold’s Valentine
Project which has an established resource of 2.7 Moz at 1.62 g/t Au (Reserve) and 3.96 Moz
Au at 1.90 g/t (M+I).
Gold mineralization at Toogood is hosted by a suite of Devonian felsic dykes which crosscut
the property, emplaced in the latter stages of a complex tectonic history. Gold

mineralization is associated with arsenopyrite, pyrite, trace chalcopyrite, and fine-grained
native gold and is concentrated along brittle fault intersections.
Numerous gold occurrences have been identified on the property with the Quinlan Prospect
being the most advanced. Drilling conducted by Prospector in 2022 confirmed high-grade
gold at the prospect with a 857 m drill program. Drilling has demonstrated that the gold
bearing dykes have a remarkably consistent dip and thickness. Mineralization has been
confirmed along a 200m strike and 120m down-dip and remains open in all directions.

Next Steps
Storm plans to take a two-pronged approach to exploration on the Toogood project.
Drilling: The primary focus will be to extend gold mineralization at the Quinlan Prospect
which is permitted for additional drilling and targets have been identified by Prospector.
Target Generation: Simultaneously, the Company will conduct a prospecting and soil
sampling program over the numerous showings on the property with the goal of developing
a pipeline of compelling drill targets.
