The Main Trend is a 2 km Cu+Ag+Au mineralized trend that is composed of the Hope, Superstition and Gaul Zones that occur along a similar mineralized trend that hosts the past-producing
Hole SH22-07, drilled to a depth of 210 m, which intersected 31 m (from 102 m) grading 0.2% Cu, 11.8 g/t Ag, and 0.22 g/t Au, including 11.42 m (from 121.58 m) grading 0.49% Cu, 30.1 g/t Ag, and 0.41 g/t Au was drilled to test 100 m south of SH21-09 which intersected 76.57 m (from 80.23 m) grading 0.45% Cu, 14.6 g/t Ag, and 0.14 g/t Au.

The three Equity East drill holes (SH22-01, SH22-05, SH22-06) intersected modest galena and sphalerite mineralization, including SH22-01 cutting 0.81 m (from 74.92 m) grading 47.9 g/t Ag, 2.5% lead ("Pb"), and 4.53% zinc ("Zn"). Drilling intersected overlying trachyandesites of the
The three Allin drill holes (SH22-02, SH22-03, SH22-04) intersected flows of trachyandesites, monzonite sills and biotite-rich monzonite dikes. SH22-02 hosted alteration peripheral to a porphyry Cu-Mo-Au system with increasing gypsum veining at depth, spotty quartz veining and increasing chlorite, SH22-03 and SH22-04 displayed weak hydrothermal veining with pyrite and vuggy carbonate veins with increasing clay alteration.. Again, the geophysics, alteration, drill hole geology, and geochemistry are being reviewed to further refine targeting.
During the 2022 exploration program, a soil sampling grid was conducted east of the Sam showing covering the past historical drilling. A small soil sampling grid was also conducted west of the former
All drill core assay results have been monitored through a quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) program.
The drill core was sawn in half at Finlay Mineral's on-site core logging and processing facility. Half the core was sampled and shipped in sealed and secure bags to the
