2026 Exploration Plan

Soil sampling on the Swift Katie property has been initiated, with a total of 593 samples collected at the Swift and Allouez targets. Sampling at the Swift target was designed to prioritize future drilling in the area by delineating the surface expression of gold mineralization along the entire Swift target and to follow up on a possible subparallel gold-rich vein zone at the early 20^th century Allouez prospect, an area that has received no modern exploration. The initial 2026 Phase I budget for exploration is approximately C$250,000. Paradigm is currently funded to complete the proposed exploration work.

Contingent on subsequent financing and results of the Phase I work, priority drill targets are being developed and the Company expects the majority of holes to focus on the near-surface gold potential adjacent to hole SK17-015 and the historic Allouez prospect, with additional prospecting along strike of these known mineralized targets within the +1km long 'Alteration Corridor'. A 3,000m drill program with a Phase II budget of approximately $500,000 has been proposed.

Exploration results to date support the Company's belief of a widespread gold-enriched, vein system at the Swift target and a large alkali porphyry system at the Katie target. Further work will be designed to continue to expand the known mineral systems and evaluate several other targets which remain to be tested on the Project.
