NEW BREAK IDENTIFIES NEW GOLD BEARING STRUCTURES AT THE SUNDOG PROJECT IN NUNAVUT

New Break Resources Ltd. has released the results from rock chip and grab samples taken from the Sundog gold project in Kivalliq region, Nunavut, and has identified new gold-bearing structures on the property, with half of the eight samples taken grading over 7.5 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au), as shown in the table entitled "2023 Sundog sample highlights."

The samples were taken in September, 2023, by a New Break field team composed of Ken Reading, Shaun Parent, PGeo, of Superior Exploration Ltd., and a field assistant, who confirmed access to the project area and assessed the impact of environmental changes since Mr. Reading's last visit to the property in 2013. New Break was able to reproduce a high-grade gold assay from trench 10 and, most importantly, the team was able to identify previously unknown gold-bearing structures adjacent to trenches 10 and 29, extending the known extent of those mineralized zones.

Mr. Reading originally visited Sundog on behalf of Abermin Corp. in the summers of 1986 and 1987. During the 1987 exploration program, 38 trenches were excavated and mapped by Mr. Reading, with 27 of those sampled. The trench references in this news release refer to those 1987 locations.

Some of the best assay results have come from the Trench 10 location, which was excavated at the site of the original 1962 showing discovered by Selco Exploration, and from areas represented by trenches 17 and 29.

In his June, 1986, trip to Sundog, Mr. Reading took nine grab samples, six from the Trench 10 area and three from the Trench 29 area, with the best assay being 62.8 g/t Au. In August, 1986, Mr. Reading collected a further 26 rock chip and 13 panned concentrate (PC) samples from trenches 17 and 29 areas, with most taken from the Trench 17 area. PC samples included 206.7 g/t Au from the Trench 17 area and 127.6 g/t Au from the Trench 29 area. The rock chip sample highlights are shown in the table entitled "August, 1986, Sundog sample Highlights."

As noted previously, in August and September, 1987, 38 trenches were excavated and mapped by Mr. Reading, with 27 of those sampled. Sample highlights from the 1987 program are shown in the table entitled "August to September, 1987, Sundog sample highlights."

David Reid, senior geologist at Abermin, prepared a report dated January, 1988, which covered the exploration work completed in 1986 and 1987. Mr. Reid reported the occurrence of coarse visible gold in a series of quartz-rubble pits. When the presence of coarse gold is suspected, pulp metallics can be used as a more representative assay technique. Abermin decided to complete pulp metallics assays on all 1987 samples. Mr. Reid reported that, in a number of cases: "A significant amount of coarse gold exists both in samples containing gold prior to the metallics analysis and also in samples considered to be background in concentration. In several cases, the total concentration of gold in the sample was more than doubled."

Next exploration steps

New Break plans to undertake a summer 2024 field season at Sundog, subject to regulatory and Inuit approvals, and financing, in order to complete the following objectives:

• Systematically sample potentially gold-bearing structures and in situ veins;
• Complete drone magnetics and very low frequency (VLF) geophysical surveys;
• Complete reconnaissance mapping and sampling along strike length and parallel structures within the Sundog concession;
• Further define gold-bearing systems between fine and coarse gold environments; and
• Complete a preliminary drilling program on the Sundog property, the first of its kind.

Bill Love, New Break's vice-president of exploration, commented: "The results of New Break's September trip to Sundog exceeded our expectations. The assays from the limited sampling program confirmed the existence of high-grade gold at surface, including visible gold in the Trench 10 sample and new gold-bearing structures which were located with very little effort. Ken Reading has also been able to confirm that there has been no historical glacial movement at Sundog, meaning the gold found in the overlying surface rubble reflects in situ gold and not a glacial dispersion train, which significantly increases our ability to target planned drilling. The evidence of coarse gold also has the potential to yield a higher average resource grade in the event that a mineral resource is ultimately estimated in the future. Combined with the historical assay results at Sundog, these results confirm that, in addition to New Break's Moray property in Ontario, the company has another significant Canadian gold exploration property of merit."

About the Sundog gold project

Sundog is located approximately 235 kilometres west of Arviat, Nunavut, 640 km north of Thompson, Man., and lies 16 km to the northeast of the Cullaton Lake airstrip on parcel AR-35 of Inuit-owned land, and covers approximately 9,415 hectares. The surface rights are managed by the Kivalliq Inuit Association (KIVIA) and administration of mineral rights is managed by Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI). The exploration area represents an underexplored part of the Henik group, central Ennadai-Rankin Archean greenstone belt, the second-largest greenstone belt in Canada, second only to the Abitibi greenstone belt in Ontario and Quebec. The Sundog property is characterized by high-grade surface gold exposures. There are two banded iron formations on the property, with the potential for Musselwhite-Meadowbank-Meliadine-type mineralization.

Two thousand twenty-three quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)

New Break collected eight samples during the September, 2023, sampling trip. Mr. Parent, PGeo, supervised the collection of the samples. The samples were delivered to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs) in Ancaster, Ont. The samples were crushed to up to 80 per cent passing two millimetres (mm), riffle split (250 grams) and pulverized to 95 per cent passing 105 micrometres. Seven of the samples were subject to fire assay with atomic absorption (AA) finish. Samples assaying greater than five g/t Au were rerun by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. One sample (Trench 10 sample) was also run for multielement data in addition to being rerun by fire assay with a gravimetric finish.

For multielement analysis, a 0.25 g sample was digested with four acids beginning with hydrofluoric and followed by a mixture of nitric and perchloric acids, and heated using precise programmer-controlled heating in several ramping and holding cycles, which takes the samples to dryness. After dryness is attained, samples are brought back into solution using hydrochloric and nitric acids. This digestion may not be completely total as resistate minerals are present. Digested samples are diluted and analyzed by an ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry). Actlabs is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada under the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
