capital to support the highly anticipated second year of drilling at our Flat Gold Project. With these
funds secured, we are poised to commence drilling on Flat and its extensive, kilometre-long intrusion

extending the Offering to raise additional capital. Every dollar raised translates directly into additional
metres drilled and the potential for new gold discoveries. We are grateful for the ongoing support
from our investors, including Crescat Capital, whose confidence in our team and the tier-one potential
of the Flat Gold Project is truly valued. Our team is more enthusiastic than ever to return to the field
