• Reported positive metallurgical results for the Copper Creek Project demonstrating over 95% copper recoveries at coarse grind sizes and high-quality copper concentrate, on February 26, 2024.

• Reported 163.11 m at 0.85% copper within 380.60 m at 0.62% copper in the American Eagle, on February 21, 2024.

• Reported new mineralized breccias (Starship and Eclipse) 800 m southeast of the existing mineral resource, on January 16, 2024 and March 4, 2024, respectively.

• Continued baseline environmental data collection, stakeholder mapping, and generative exploration targeting at the Copper Creek Project to provide a pipeline of future targets through ongoing geological mapping and recently reprocessed and newly acquired geophysical data.

Upcoming Copper Creek Project Milestones

• Ongoing results from the Phase III drill program

• Updated technical report in the first half of 2025

Copper Creek Project Update

With extensive historical exploration, over 200,000 m of drilling and modest past production, significant exploration upside remains. There are several hundred known breccia occurrences mapped at surface, of which less than 20% have been drill tested and only 17 are included in the MRE.

In the Phase II drill program assay results confirmed the potential for gold to occur in economic concentrations in certain phases of the mineralization. Gold is not currently included in the MRE. A sampling program to gather sufficient data coverage for potential gold inclusion in future technical studies is largely complete. The results from the Childs Aldwinkle and Copper Prince breccias, as well as the Keel underground zone have been returned. The Company continues to evaluate other areas for potential inclusion of gold in future mineral resource updates.

The Company has reported results from a metallurgical program focused on grind size optimization that demonstrated the viability of coarse particle flotation, gold recoveries in concentrate and test work on near surface oxide mineralization.

The ongoing Phase III drill program commenced in the fourth quarter of 2023. The program's framework is based on historical work, knowledge from the geological and recently updated structural model, the results from the Phase I and Phase II drill programs, geophysical and airborne spectral data sets, and economic criteria defined in the PEA base case.

The current focus of drilling is on the near-surface mineralization in the American Eagle and Rum areas. To date, through the combined Phase II and Phase III drill programs, which are not included in the MRE or PEA, the Company has released results from 65 drill holes as follows:

• 38 drill holes were drilled on new targets that are entirely outside of the resource boundary;

• 20 drill holes were step-out holes testing extensions to the mineral resource; and

• 7 drill holes were drilled within the resource area, targeting expansion of the higher-grade cores.

The Company expects to include over 30,000 m of incremental drilling to a resource update planned for 2025.

The Company is focusing on exploration at the property while continuing to advance technical studies, environmental data gathering, and stakeholder outreach.
