Highlights include:
4 km2 Induced Polarization survey is in-progress, estimated completion:
An additional 4 km2 of IP coverage is planned to evaluate the contact area surrounding the TMIC, a multi-phase alkalic intrusion intruded into predominantly intermediate volcanic rocks. Over twenty (20) known gold showings occur within a 500-metre-wide contact halo surrounding the TMIC (Ref. Figure 1). Gold mineralization occurs within the host volcanic sequence, as well as within some phases of the intrusive suite. Work to-date suggests that pyrite directly correlates to gold mineralization and the 2021 survey perfectly defines the Bench, A and 110 Targets, evidence that the DasVision system offers excellent potential to identify new targets elsewhere within the favourable halo surrounding the TMIC.
The Company also reports that it has successfully salvaged, rehabilitated, and re-logged 20,800 metres of historical drill core, representing approximately 75% of the historical core library dating back to 1985. Re-logging was leveled to a standardized lithological, alteration and mineralization legend in advance of geological interpretation of the Bench, UV, A, Ellen and 110 Targets. Gaps in the historical sample record were filled. A complete suite of metallurgical, whole rock geochemistry and petrographic samples were collected, submitted for analysis and are currently being reviewed. A key observation from the re-logging is that pyrite content is widely distributed, occurring in all major lithologies identified to-date. More importantly, data analysis indicates that pyrite tenor directly correlates with gold grade, irrespective of lithology and/or alteration. (Ref. Figure 2.0)
'Our preliminary data analysis suggests excellent correlation between pyrite content and gold, a favourable relationship considering the capability of the DasVision system to isolate deep, low-tenor pyrite mineralization. We've also identified a potential intersection between two major structures which positions the alkalic TMIC in the hanging wall of the interpreted structures.

Induced Polarity 2022 Survey
Abitibi Geophysics' DasVision method is an affordable, real 3DIP survey that has been successfully used on many projects in
The 2021 IP survey isolated two strong chargeable responses. The southernmost target measuring approximately 600 x 450-metres, defines the Bench Target which includes the Bench, A, B, R, S and D surface anomalies. Drilling to-date has tested less that 50% of the IP chargeability response at the Bench Target. Section 5377500 N offering the most consistent drill spacing across the Bench Target IP response (Ref. Figure 2), returned long intervals of consistent gold mineralization with seven holes averaging 0.689 g/t Au over an average interval length of 246 metres at a 0.20 g/t gold cutoff grade. At a 0.3 g/t cutoff, the same holes returned an average grade of 0.869 g/t Au over an average interval length of 102.9 metres.
A second, similar chargeable anomaly, similar in size and intensity to the Bench Target anomaly, lies approximately 100-metres to the north of the Bench Target, and the Ellen, T, K and L surface anomalies surround the IP response. This Target is currently tested by five shallow drill holes, none of which penetrate the highest chargeability response (Ref. Figure 1.0)
The 2022 IP survey covers approximately 4 km2 and will evaluate areas where historical surface sampling returned anomalous gold values, consistent with those identified to the west of the TMIC, that are currently untested. The 2021 IP survey coverage (~5 km2) covers approximately 80% of the TMIC intrusion and extends approximately 1,200-metres west of the interpreted TMIC-volcanic contact.
