California Lake — Proven At Depth. The Source Is The Target.

1.5 km

Conductive trend defined from reprocessed geophysics, running south to Target #6

up to 18.45m

Drill intersection widths

$40,000

NBJMAP exploration grant from the Province of New Brunswick

What The Drilling Proved:

The 2022 drilling confirmed VMS mineralization at depth across the target. EarthEx modelling traces a strong late-time conductive trend running 1.5 km south toward Target #6 — interpreted as the source of the system. Target #6 to be tested.

The Position:
  • 35.86 km² · 164 claims
  • Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au · 40 Mile Brook property recently added
  • BHEM survey complete · EarthEx UAV 3D magnetic survey underway
  • Apex designing ground-based EM

Target #6 is next to be tested.

Drill results are certified assays as reported in the Company’s news releases of November and December 2022. See Technical Notes.

Technical Notes

Drill Results

Results are from the 2022 Phase 1 program (news releases December 22, 2022 and January 3, 2023), assayed by ALS Global. Intervals are core lengths; true widths have not been determined. CL23-10-01 observations (December 8, 2023) are visual only and are not a substitute for assays.

Geophysics

A BHEM survey of CL23-10-01 identified a moderate conductor about 230 m downhole (news release August 15, 2024). Geophysical targets are conceptual.

Property

100% owned (option exercised April 2024), subject to a 2% NSR, half of which may be purchased for $1,000,000.

No Mineral Resource; Qualified Person

No mineral resource has been estimated on this property. Technical information on this page was reviewed and approved by Gary Lohman, B.Sc., P.Geo., Qualified Person under NI 43-101 (not independent of the Company).

District Ranking

References to the Bathurst Mining Camp as the third largest VMS camp in the world are based on published district tonnage comparisons, which rank the camp third at approximately 250 Mt. Source: Barrie, C.T. and Hannington, M.D., Classification of Volcanic-Associated Massive Sulfide Deposits Based on Host-Rock Composition, Reviews in Economic Geology. That comparison excludes districts in China and the former Soviet Union.
