Muzhu finds four exploration targets at Sleeping Giant

Mr. Dwayne Yaretz reports

MUZHU RECEIVES EXPLORATION RECOMMENDATIONS ON SLEEPING GIANT SOUTH PROPERTY, QUEBEC

Muzhu Mining Ltd. has received exploration recommendations from SL Exploration Inc. on Muzhu's Sleeping Giant South property in the Abitibi greenstone belt, located approximately 60 kilometres north of Amos, Que. The property comprises 109 active claims, covering 6,149 hectares or 61.49 square kilometres. All the claims are 100 per cent owned by Muzhu Mining. SL Exploration compiled and reviewed historical geophysical surveys and 46 diamond drill holes completed on the property between 1958 and 2023.

The region near the property hosts multiple projects that have reached an advanced exploration stage or production. The region's gold potential is notably illustrated by O3 Mining Ltd.'s Peacock property, located 10 km north, and Abcourt Mines Ltd.'s Sleeping Giant mine, located one km northeast, of the property.

The historical Sleeping Giant gold mine (a historical mineral resource of 3,158,698 tonnes at 10.48 grams per tonne Au, Roy et al, 2010) was reopened by Abcourt in 2016. The Sleeping Giant mill (which has a 750-tonne-per-day (tpd) capacity) is currently processing ore from the Sleeping Giant deposit and the Elder mine. Abcourt also conducts underground definition and exploration drilling at the Sleeping Giant mine. A 2022 PEA (preliminary economic assessment) for Abcourt calculated indicated resources of 677,000 tonnes of 7.03 g/t Au (at a 4.25 g/t Au cut-off) and inferred resources of 677,000 tonnes of 8.13 g/t Au (at a 4.25 g/t Au cut-off).

Sleeping Giant South property -- SL Exploration review

According to SL Exploration, the historical geophysical surveys identified numerous geophysical anomalies and lineaments that represented viable exploration targets but remain untested. Historic drill holes probed the glacial till column and bedrock, returning multiple sections with elevated gold and silver values. The host rocks are similar throughout the property (andesites, basalts), and gold-silver mineralization appears to be within quartz-carbonate-sulphide veins. From the historical drill logs, many favourable geological units with quartz-carbonate-sulphide veins or sulphide horizons are unsampled for unknown reasons and should be tested in future exploration programs.

Recommended exploration targets

SL Exploration interprets four clusters with elevated gold-silver values coincident with geophysical anomalies and historic drill holes. These areas, in conjunction with geological observations, structures and other public data, were used to define the four targets that are prospective for gold exploration. A further review is being conducted to determine if specific drill targets can be proposed for the upcoming work program. The four targets identified in the report are located in areas with either gold/silver anomalies, geophysical anomalies or untested drill holes that show interesting geological features.

Dwayne Yaretz, chief executive officer, stated: "Using data from 66 years of historical work on the Sleeping Giant South property, we have compiled all of the geophysical and drilling data available. I am very pleased that this data compilation has better identified four exploration target areas we intend to pursue. This data is particularly encouraging given that Abcourt has reopened its adjacent Sleeping Giant mine and mill, and is producing gold while continuing to explore and expand its mineral resources on the property."
