Note that all samples were collected by Justin Deveault and Justin McNutt from 911
Exploration Corp. The XRF results were received October 22, 2024.
Exploration contractor Mr. Justin Deveault comments, "The Battery Ridge zone looks
similar to other stringer zones below Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide VMS deposits, in
general, and looks similar to the footwall at the 911 Zone at the Mount Sicker project, in
particular. Next to the zinc occurrence documented in sample BR5, we uncovered a
band of malachite-stained, pyrite-bearing chert. Historical drilling in this area hit the
sulphide stringers and schists going uphill for approximately 1 kilometre in what is
historically called the Postuk-Fulton Zone, but it appears to have not been followed
downhill. We believe this area is a good candidate for trenching and geophysics as
bedrock is shallow. We have completed two holes in this area using the backpack drill
as described in the video titled `Battery Ridge Zinc Showing On Mount Sicker!', one of
which is 4.25m and the other is 5.3m, which we have not yet assayed. The drilled and
sampled widths are not indicative of true thickness of the mineralized zone."

QA/QC Statement
The results reported here were prepared by using an Olympus Delta portable XRF
(Model DS 6500CC) using industry-standard chain of custody procedures with all
samples. The XRF operator named Clive Khan is independent of Kermode and
completed the XRF analysis in October 2024.
The XRF was calibrated prior to each test as follows. At each startup, a calibration coin
was analyzed, and subsequent analysis was only performed when a pass was obtained,
which was calculated internally by the XRF instrument. The XRF unit was set to
geochemical mode and a full 200 second test was run to determine copper content.
While the instrument detects many elements, only copper was tested. The XRF
analyzes only a small portion of the sample, so half the sample was crushed to pass an
80-mesh screen before testing. During analysis of the samples by handheld XRF,
non-blind control samples were analysed to monitor the XRF instrument calibration and
performance. A correction factor for all base metals was applied to the raw data. The
correction factor was determined by analyzing samples that had previously been
analyzed at a commercial laboratory. These rock samples were of varying
concentrations and analyzed by the handheld XRF using the method described above.
The portable XRF is accurate to within a 5% error for copper content. We did not use
the portable XRF to determine accurate readings for other elements.
