1911 Gold Corporation (‘ 1911 Gold ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) (TSXV: AUMB) (OTCBB: AUMBF) (FRA: 2KY) is pleased to announce the assay results from twelve (12) drill holes for 3,208.0 metres (‘m’) from the ongoing surface drill program at the True North Gold Project. The True North project, including a permitted mill, camp, and tailings facility, is centrally located within the Company’s 100%-owned Rice Lake Gold property in southeast Manitoba, Canada .

Highlights:

  • Drilling has continued to expand the near-surface quartz vein hosted gold (‘Au’) mineralization on the new San Antonio West (‘SAM West’) target along strike and to depth

San Antonio West Target

  • Drill results confirmed the western and down dip extensions of gold mineralization within the prolific San Antonio mafic unit up to 350   m down dip and 500 m along strike, including:
    • TN-25-057: Intersected 58.66 grams per tonne (g/t) Gold (Au) over 1.40 m at a downhole depth of 145.00 m , including 63.20 g/t Au over 0.90 m and 50.50 g/t Au over 0.50 m
    • TN-25-056: Intersected 9.59 g/t Au over 2.30 m at a downhole depth of 103.10 m , including 11.25 g/t Au over 1.80 m , including 21.30 g/t Au over 0.50 m
    • TN-25-058: Intersected 10.40 g/t Au over 1.00 m at a downhole depth of 249.30 m

‘These are some of the best results we’ve seen to date from the San Antonio West target.’, Shaun Heinrichs , CEO and President, stated, ‘The drilling confirms the potential definition of high-grade ore shoots within the SAM West target zone, and further supports our geological model. These results build the case for continued underground exploration, where we see significant potential to define and expand new and existing mineral resources within the mine infrastructure.’

1911 Gold has completed fifty-one (51) surface drill holes, for a total of 11,695.4 m on the current drill program, which commenced in October 2024 on new exploration targets located within the True North Gold mine footprint. The results of seven (7) new drill holes for 1,928.0 m from the San Antonio West target and five (5) initial drill holes for a total of 1,280.00 m from the Gate target are included in this release. New targets have been generated and drill tested within prospective host rocks and mineralized structural settings, including significant historical drill results. The results from nine (9) additional exploration drill holes are currently pending. Additional drill planning is underway on the San Antonio West and San Antonio Southeast targets and will commence when access to the Mine site is permitted (see press release entitled ‘1911 Gold Temporarily Suspends Operation at True North Complex due to Bissett Evacuation Order’, dated May 30, 2025 ). The exploration drilling plan includes up to 30,000 m of drilling by the end of 2025.

S   an Antonio West Target: Discussion of Results
Drilling completed to date has confirmed the extensions of gold mineralization within the SAM gabbro to over 600 m west of the historically mined San Antonio zone, covering an area 500 m long and over 260 m to depth, dipping 50º to the northeast. Twenty-one (21) drill holes for a total of 4,220.0 m have been completed to date on the SAM West target area.

Figure 2: BB

The latest drill holes, comprised of seven (7) new drill holes for 1,928.0 m , extended the footprint of mineralization 100 m down dip from the results announced on April 30, 2025 (see press release entitled ‘1911 Gold Intersects 62.40 g/t Au over 1.00 m on San Antonio West at True North’) .

Drill hole TN-25-056, designed to undercut high grade gold mineralization intersected in drill hole TN-25-037 ( 1.00 m @ 8.73 g/t Au, 1.00 m @ 62.40 g/t Au and 0.70 m @ 6.09 g/t Au and 4.50 m @ 4.17 g/t Au), intersected 2.30 m @ 9.59 g/t Au, including 1.80 m @ 11.25 g/t Au and 0.50 m @ 21.30 g/t Au. Drilling successfully extended the gold mineralization approximately 50 m down dip and returned high-grade gold results.

Drill hole TN-25-057 ( 1.40 m @ 58.66 g/t Au) tested the down-dip extensions of the high-grade gold intercepts of previously released holes TN-24-043 ( 1.00 m @ 12.50 g/t Au) and TN-24-045 ( 3.70 m @ 6.84 g/t Au, including 1.40 m @ 12.40 g/t Au and 2.70 m @ 5.30 g/t Au, including 0.50 m @ 11.30 g/t Au). Drilling successfully intercepted high-grade gold mineralization approximately 160 m down dip.

Drill hole TN-25-058 ( 0.50 m @ 10.40 g/t Au) designed to test the 160 m down-dip extension of the gold mineralization from hole TN-25-056, intersected three distinct gold mineralized veins extending the multiple vein structures to 340 m depth.

Drilling has further confirmed the existence of up to three (3) vein zones hosted within the target gabbro unit, supporting the potential to mine multiple zones on levels as conducted historically (see press release entitled ‘1911 Gold Intersects 62.40 g/t Au over 1.00 m on San Antonio West at True North’, dated April 30, 2025 ). Planning for the next phase of drilling on the SAM West target is ongoing.

San Antonio West Target

The San Antonio West target is located west of the historically mined San Antonio zone of the True North Gold Mine. The San Antonio West target occurs within the gabbro of the San Antonio mafic unit and the intersection with the Cartwright South mineralized shear zone. The SAM gabbro hosts the majority of the known gold mineralization within the True North Mine and historically produced 1,309,351 ounces Au at an average grade of 9.33 g/t Au from San Antonio (see technical report entitled ‘NI 43-101 Technical Report on the True North Gold Project, Bissett, Manitoba, Canada , dated December 23 . 2024). Drilling has now confirmed gold mineralization in quartz-carbonate shear veins with sericite, chlorite, minor tourmaline alteration and up to 2% disseminated and veinlet-hosted pyrite. The target occurs as a vein system parallel to the San Antonio Mine ore body, with the same geological, alteration and mineralization characteristics. Gold mineralization has been traced over a strike length of 500 m and to 360 m down dip.

Gate   Target

The Gate target was defined to explore for potential gold mineralization on the intersection of the Cartwright South and L13 shear zones with the Shoreline Basalt unit. Five (5) drill holes, totalling 1,280.00 m (see Table 3), were completed on this target. All drill holes intercepted well-developed quartz veining hosted within sediments, with drill hole TN-25-044 intersecting 0.90 m @ 1.30 g/t Au and drill hole TN-25-049 intersecting 0.90 m @ 0.57 g/t Au. Drilling did not intersect wide sections of basalt, which host the majority of mineralization in this unit at True North. Additional interpretation is ongoing to define the basalt flows within the Shoreline Basalt unit, which in this area appear to occur as discontinuous lenses intercalated within sediments. Interpretation, modelling and drill targeting are ongoing to define potential extensions of the basalt unit hosting gold mineralization.

Site Access Update

Recent rainfall, favourable winds, and cooler temperatures have eased wildfire conditions in the region; however, the Town of Bissett and the Company’s True North site remain under evacuation as a precautionary measure. Fire crews continue to make progress in the area. Company facilities have not been impacted, and the Company expects to resume site activities once it is deemed safe to do so.

Next Steps

Building on the strong results achieved to date on new exploration targets and the compelling targets to expand the current resource, 1911 Gold is advancing plans to initiate underground exploration drilling. Once site access is re-established, the Company will continue preparing multiple underground levels to facilitate this next phase of work. Targeting is well underway, focusing on high-priority areas that offer meaningful resource expansion potential and support the mine plan currently under development. Mobilization of drill rigs to key underground levels is expected later this summer. Concurrently, the Company is actively evaluating additional targets across the property and advancing the redevelopment of the high-grade, near-surface Ogama-Rockland 43-101 mineral resource, located 25 km by road east of the True North complex.

Brunswick Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: BRW, OTCQB: BRWXF; ‘ BRW ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) is pleased to report a further six drill results from the Winter 2025 program at its Mirage Project. The Mirage Project is located in the Eeyou Istchee-James Bay region of Quebec, approximately 40 kilometres south of the Trans-Taïga Road. This press release focuses primarily on drilling completed north and east of the MR-6 dyke and, in the neighboring, ‘Stacked Dyke’ area, where BRW continues to intersect dozens of well-mineralized spodumene-bearing pegmatites.

Highlights include:

  • A newly discovered dyke located approximately 250 metres northeast of MR-6, which returned 29.25 metres at 1.19% Li    O in hole MR-25-115 and it remains open in all directions.
  • The ‘Stacked Dyke’ area has been extended 150 m to the northeast, with hole MR-25-106 intercepting 1.01% Li    O over 17.4 metres . The area continues to show significant potential and widespread mineralization over the entire length of the drill holes.

Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW, commented: ‘Every drill campaign has underscored the potential of the Mirage project. As we begin to step out from the core area of interest, we continue to intersect new, significant, well-mineralized pegmatites, all located near surface and this release is no different. We have again extended both the footprint of the Stacked Dyke area and found new sub-parallel mineralization adjacent to MR-6. We believe the forthcoming resource estimate, expected in late 2025, will position Mirage as one of the most important lithium projects in the province of Quebec.

Looking further ahead, we expect to have news related to our Greenlandic summer program shortly and look forward to the start of drilling at our Anatacau project in late Q3.’

Mirage Project Drilling Overview

The Mirage Project comprises 427 claims located roughly 40 kilometers south of the Trans-Taiga Highway in Quebec’s James Bay region and 34 kilometers northeast of Winsome Resources’ Adina Project.

The drilling campaign focused on extending the mineralized Stacked Dyke area to the northeast. Highlights discussed in this release are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1. Collars are shown in Table 2.

Figure 1 : Central Zone of the Mirage Project

Figure 1: Central Zone of the Mirage Project

Drill hole MR-25-115 led to the discovery of a new spodumene-bearing pegmatite dyke, grading 1.19% Li₂O over 29.25 metres from 92.6 metres to 121.85 metres. This new dyke is interpreted as being subparallel to the MR-6 dyke, with an orientation of N140/30, and it highlights the potential for pegmatites to occur in close proximity to each other. The new dyke remains open in all directions.

Figure 2: Section A-A’

Figure 2: Section A-A

Drill holes MR-25-105, MR-25-106, and MR-25-108 extended the ‘Stacked Dyke’ zone by 150 metres to the northeast, with a total of 32 mineralized dykes intersected across all three holes. The most significant pegmatite in these new holes returned a grade of 1.01% Li₂O over 17.4 metres, from a downhole depth of 45.5 metres to 62.9 metres. Oriented drilling in this area confirms an average dyke orientation of N70/70 similar to those identified in the South Zone, unlike the two main dykes of the Central Zone, MR-3 and MR-6.

Drill hole MR-25-104, located approximately 1 km northeast of MR-6, targeted a highly prospective geological setting analogous to MR-4 and returned anomalous lithium values up to 502 ppm Li in sedimentary units and 902 ppm Li in basalts, over a drill hole length of 222 metres. A small dyke, measuring approximately 2-metres wide, with spodumene pseudomorphs was intercepted; however, the length and strength of the lithium anomaly observed in the host rocks are considerably higher than the dyke. This new drill hole potentially extends the lithium footprint of the Orion Lake sector, where most of the drilling has occurred to date, to a length of over 3km. At this time, the lithium anomaly remains unexplained and will be the focus of a future drill campaign.

QAQC

All drill core samples were collected under the supervision of BRW employees and contractors. The drill core was transported by helicopter and by truck from the drill platform to the core logging facility in Val-d’Or. Each core was then logged, photographed, tagged, and split by diamond saw before being sampled. All pegmatite intervals were sampled at approximately 1-meter intervals to ensure representativity. Samples were bagged; duplicated on reject, blanks and certified reference materials for lithium were inserted every 20 samples. Groups of samples were placed in larger bags, sealed with numbered tags, in order to maintain a chain of custody. The sample bags were transported from the BRW contractor facility to the AGAT laboratory in Val-d’Or. All sample preparation and analytical work was performed by AGAT by sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-OES and ICP-MS finish. All results passed the QA/QC screening at the lab and all inserted standard and blanks returned results that were within acceptable limits. All reported drill intersections are calculated based on a lower cutoff grade of 0.3% Li2O, with maximum internal dilution of 5 meters. Host basalts adjacent to the dykes may grade up to 0.3% Li2O but were excluded from the reported intersections.

Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH ) (OTCQX: SYHBF ) (Frankfurt: SC1P ) (the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce the remaining assay results from its late 2024 diamond drilling program at its 100% owned, 35,705 hectare Moore Uranium Project, which totaled 2,759 metres in nine holes. The project is located approximately 15 kilometres east of Denison Mine’s Wheeler River project and proximal to regional infrastructure for Cameco’s Key Lake and McArthur River operations in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. A highlight from this program was from hole ML24-15, which intersected 6.4 metres of 1.50% U 3 O 8 from a relatively shallow downhole depth of 275.0 metres to 281.4 metres, including 4.74% U 3 O 8 over 1.5 metres. Hole ML24-15 was drilled well outside the known footprint of the high-grade Maverick East Zone, extending its high-grade core approximately 42 metres to the northeast representing one of the most consequential expansion drill holes at the Project. Skyharbour plans to continue advancing Moore through additional drilling this summer, alongside the fully-funded multi-phased drill programs at the Company’s adjacent Russell Lake Uranium Project.

Moore Uranium Project Claims Map:
https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/Sky_MooreLake.jpg?v=1

Jordan Trimble, President and CEO of Skyharbour Resources, stated: ‘Drill hole ML24-15 represents a significant development at the Moore Project as it extends the high-grade Maverick East Zone over 40 metres to the northeast. The drill result demonstrates the high-grade, shallow nature of uranium mineralization and opens up the area to additional drilling and potential resource expansion. We are preparing for another phase of low-cost drilling this summer at Moore to further delineate the numerous high-grade zones of uranium on the Maverick Corridor, and we also plan to test prospective regional targets that have had limited drill-testing historically. Furthermore, our ongoing drilling is progressing very well at our co-flagship and adjacent Russell Lake project with additional news forthcoming from both projects.’

Highlights:

  • Hole ML24-15 intersected 6.4 metres of 1.50% U 3 O 8 from a relatively shallow downhole depth of 275.0 metres to 281.4 metres, including 4.74% U 3 O 8 over 1.5 metres.
  • Notably, the hole was drilled well outside the known footprint of the Maverick East Zone, extending its high-grade core approximately 42 metres to the northeast. This illustrates the strong expansion potential at the high-grade zones.
  • Preparation is underway for a fully-funded 4,500 – 5,000 metre summer drill program at Moore focused at Main Maverick and Maverick East Zones as well as high-priority regional targets.
  • Ongoing first phase of drilling consisting of a minimum of 5,000 metres at the Russell Lake Project, focusing on the newly discovered Fork Zone, which has high-grade uranium mineralization hosted at the unconformity, as well as testing other newly identified high-priority targets at the Fox Lake Trail and Sphinx targets.
  • In total, the company is planning to drill between 16,000 – 18,000 metres across the Russell and Moore projects this year and is fully funded and permitted to do so.

Summary of 2024 Drilling Campaign at Moore:

The phase of drilling on the Moore Project later in 2024 totalled 2,759 metres in nine holes. Of the nine holes, four holes (ML24-10 to -12 and ML24-18) focused on the Main Maverick Zone and five holes (ML24-13 to -17) on the Maverick East Zone. The primary objective of the summer program was to extend and expand the boundaries of the Main Maverick and Maverick East Zones with all but one hole successfully intersecting uranium mineralization. Drill hole ML24-15 which intersected 6.4 m of 1.50% U 3 O 8 successfully expands the Maverick East zone over 40 metres along strike to the northeast with more drilling warranted in the area.

Moore Uranium Project Regional Grid Targets Map:
http://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/maps/Moore-Lake-Property-Wide.jpg

Four exploration holes totalling 1,195 metres were drilled in and around the Main Maverick Zone to expand the shallow high-grade mineralized zone. All of these holes were drilled vertically and intersected significant uranium mineralization at the unconformity, centred around 265 metres to 275 metres downhole depth. The majority of the high-grade uranium mineralization at the Main Maverick Zone is sandstone-hosted, situated at or just above the unconformity. Hole ML24-11 intersected 0.76% U 3 O 8 over 1.0 m starting at 268.0 m depth, including 1.09% U 3 O 8 over 0.5 m, and 0.40% U 3 O 8 over 0.5 m at 285.0 m. Hole ML24-12 intersected 0.21% U 3 O 8 over 1.0 m starting at 268.0 m depth. Hole ML24-18 intersected 0.10% U 3 O 8 over 5.5 m starting at 271.0 m.

Main Maverick Zone Drilling Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/news/Maverick_Main_2024.jpg

An additional five exploration holes, totalling 1,564 metres, were drilled in and around the Maverick East Zone to connect mineralization with Main Maverick and to expand mineralization east along strike. Four of these holes were drilled vertically, and one oriented hole was drilled to obtain structural measurements. Much like at Main Maverick, mineralization is concentrated directly above the unconformity, between 260 metres and 285 metres. Hole ML24-13 intersected 0.14% U 3 O 8 over 6.4 m starting at 268.5 m, including 0.63% U 3 O 8 over 1.0 m at 269.0 m, and 0.30% U 3 O 8 over 1.0 m at 273.9 m. Hole ML24-14 intersected 0.04% U 3 O 8 over 1.0 m starting at 287.2 m. Hole ML24-15 intersected 1.50% U 3 O 8 over 6.4 m starting at 275.0 m depth, including 4.74% U 3 O 8 over 1.5 m. Hole ML24-16 intersected 0.10% U 3 O 8 over 0.5 m starting at 314.0 m. Hole ML24-17 intersected 0.16% U 3 O 8 over 3.0 m starting at 274.0 m depth.

Maverick East Zone Drilling Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/news/Maverick_East_2024.jpg

In addition to the assay results reported here, previously reported drill results from the first phase of drilling earlier in 2024 included notable high-grade intercepts at Moore. Highlight drill hole ML24-08 intersected 5.0 metres of 4.61% U 3 O 8 between 265.5 metres and 270.5 metres depth including 3.0 metres of 7.30% U 3 O 8 between 266.0 metres to 269.0 metres depth at the Main Maverick Zone. Another notable hole was ML 24-03, which intersected a broad interval of mineralization grading 1.11% U 3 O 8 over 11.5 metres between 266.8 metres to 278.3 metres depth, including 5.87% U 3 O 8 over 2.0 metres (see news release dated July 11 th , 2024).

2025 Summer and Fall Drilling Plans:

Skyharbour is planning for an additional, fully-funded 4,500 – 5,000 metres of drilling at the Main Maverick and Maverick East Zones to further expand, characterize and define the extents of the mineralized zones. Both of these high-grade zones are open along strike and at depth, with little historical drilling testing the underlying basement rocks. Furthermore, Skyharbour plans to test regional targets at Moore that have been further refined with modern geophysics and new geological modelling. This drilling will take place in conjunction with the multi-phased drilling campaign this year at the adjacent Russell Lake Project. Both drilling programs will be run using the Company’s McGowan Lake camp on Highway 914 as a base of operations, making exploration at both properties very cost-effective. In total, the company plans to drill 16,000 – 18,000 metres in 35 – 45 drill holes across the projects in 2025.

Moore Uranium Project Overview:

In June 2016, Skyharbour secured an option to acquire Denison Mine’s Moore Uranium Project, on the southeastern side of the Athabasca Basin, in northern Saskatchewan and has since fulfilled its earn-in. The project consists of 12 contiguous claims totaling 35,705 hectares located 42 kilometres northeast of the Key Lake mill, approx. 15 kilometres east of Denison’s Wheeler River project, and 39 kilometres south of Cameco’s McArthur River uranium mine. Unconformity-hosted uranium mineralization was discovered on the Moore Project at the Maverick Zone with historical drill highlights consisting of 4.03% eU 3 O 8 over 10 metres, including 20% eU 3 O 8 over 1.4 metres, in ML-161. In 2017, Skyharbour announced drill results of 6.0% U 3 O 8 over 5.9 metres, including 20.8% U 3 O 8 over 1.5 metres at a vertical depth of 265 metres, in hole ML-199. In addition to the Main and East Maverick Zones, the project hosts other mineralized targets with strong discovery potential which the Company plans to test with future drill programs. The project is fully accessible via winter and ice roads which simplifies logistics and lowers costs. Large proportions of the property are accessible in the summer as well.

China has moved to ease its export chokehold on rare earths, with its Ministry of Commerce announcing over the weekend that it will establish a “green channel” to fast track rare earths export licenses to select EU firms.

The announcement follows high-level trade talks in Paris between Chinese Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao and European Commission Vice President and Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič, CNBC reported.

A ministry spokesperson stated that China hopes the EU will take “reciprocal steps” to promote “compliant trade of high-tech products with China.” The diplomatic overture also extends to US firms.

According to Reuters, China has quietly granted export licenses to suppliers working with American auto giants General Motors (NYSE:GM), Ford (NYSE:F) and Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) — manufacturer of Jeep, Dodge, Fiat and Peugeot.

The rare earth sreprieve could not come soon enough for the auto industry. Following China’s April imposition of export restrictions on several critical rare earth elements — used in everything from electric motors to fuel injectors — industry groups warned that stockpiles were dwindling rapidly, with risks of assembly line stoppages looming.

Jonathan O’Riordan, international trade director at the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), told CNBC on Monday (June 9), “We’re gradually coming into a very, very critical moment whereby those stocks are now being exhausted, and we are potentially going to see production stoppages.” The ACEA had expressed alarm over licensing delays, saying applications had been taking a “significant” amount of time to process since the April restrictions came into force.

The European Association of Automotive Suppliers echoed the same concerns last week, reporting that several plants had already shut down due to Beijing’s export controls, with more disruptions anticipated in the coming weeks.

A global leverage game

The backdrop to this rare earths standoff is China’s overwhelming dominance in the critical minerals supply chain.

The country produces roughly 60 percent of the world’s rare earth elements and accounts for about 70 percent of US rare earths imports. These minerals — used in smartphones, wind turbines, and even military fighter jets — are increasingly seen as geopolitical assets in the global transition to clean energy and high-tech manufacturing.

The leverage is already being felt in the numbers. According to data released by China’s General Administration of Customs, the value of rare earths exports in May plummeted 48.3 percent year-on-year to US$18.7 million.

Export volumes fell to 5,864.6 metric tons, down 5.67 percent compared to the same month last year.

That decline ended three consecutive months of year-on-year growth and showed the real-world effects of China’s tightening export controls, which have remained in place even after Beijing agreed during talks with Washington last month to “suspend or remove” non-tariff countermeasures imposed since April 2.

Still, total rare earths exports for the first five months of 2025 were up 2.3 percent compared to the same period last year, suggesting that while value has plummeted, some shipments are still getting through under stricter oversight.

The Ministry of Commerce reiterated that it has approved export applications for qualified entities and expressed willingness to “communicate over export controls with relevant countries to facilitate compliant trade,” hinting at a more conciliatory approach ahead of another round of US-China trade negotiations.

Supply diversification still key

Despite the temporary relief, western automakers and their governments face a more fundamental challenge: diversifying away from China’s stranglehold on rare earths. Europe in particular has recognized the urgency. EU policymakers have pushed to accelerate domestic mining projects and build up strategic reserves.

But such efforts are years away from producing material results, leaving automakers vulnerable in the short term.

With that in mind, industry leaders are warning that without rapid progress on alternative supply chains, future geopolitical shocks could cause even greater disruption.

For now, China’s “green channel” offers a pause — but not a solution.

  • Golden Eye has never been mined and was last drilled in the early 1990s when gold was less than US$350/oz.   The entire drilling target sits outside the current Mineral Resource 1
  • Importantly Golden Eye remains open at depth with 2.9m @ 10.2g/t AuEq in deepest hole from recent campaign 3
  • The Golden Eye prospect sits 3km from Cygnus’ central processing plant and has existing dual ramp access within 150m of the mineralisation
  • Gold was a significant part of the historic production within the Chibougamau District, with over 3.5Moz of gold produced alongside 945,000t of copper. 4
Cygnus Executive Chairman David Southam said : ‘These latest high-grade results set us up to commence the initial Resource at Golden Eye. With its location just 3km from the processing plant, Golden Eye stands to add significant value to the economics of the project. Chibougamau is a pure copper-gold project with silver credits and is perfectly placed to drive value in this market. We are excited to be working on resource upgrades and additional study work which will demonstrate the quality of the asset we have in a mining- friendly jurisdiction with key infrastructure already in place.’

Cygnus Metals Limited (ASX: CY5; TSXV: CYG; OTCQB: CYGGF) (‘Cygnus’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce further high-grade assays from the Golden Eye prospect within the Chibougamau Copper-Gold Project in Quebec.

Recent results from two diamond holes have revealed the presence of multiple parallel mineralised zones with gold-copper-silver mineralisation. The results from the latest assays include:

  • 3.3m @ 3.8g/t AuEq from 174.2m (3.2g/t Au, 0.4% Cu & 3.5g/t Ag) (LDR-25-09) ;
  • 3.3m @ 12.7g/t AuEq from 209.6m (8.4g/t Au, 3.1% Cu & 30.2g/t Ag) (LDR-25-09) ;
    • Including 1.9m @ 21.1g/t AuEq (14.2g/t Au, 4.9% Cu & 47.5g/t Ag);
  • 2.5m @ 7.3g/t AuEq from 226.5m (5.9g/t Au, 0.9% Cu & 14.9g/t Ag) (LDR-25-09) ;
  • 2.7m @ 3.5g/t AuEq from 147.7m (1.5g/t Au, 1.3% Cu & 23.0g/t Ag) (LDR-25-10) ; and
  • 4.3m @ 9.8g/t AuEq from 157.8m (7.5g/t Au, 1.6% Cu & 23.9g/t Ag) (LDR-25-10) ;
    • Including 2.0m @ 18.8g/t AuEq (14.6g/t Au, 2.8% Cu & 43.5g/t Ag).

These results are in addition to previously released results 2,3 from Golden Eye:

  • 3.3m @ 6.6g/t Au from 131.7m (LDR-25-05) ;
    • Including 2.3m @ 9.1g/t Au;
  • 7.4m @ 5.7g/t AuEq (4.6g/t Au, 0.9% Cu & 5.6g/t Ag) from 405.6m (LDR-25-08) ; and
    • Including 3.1m @ 9.6g/t AuEq (7.4 g/t Au, 1.6% Cu & 10.0g/t Ag);
  • 2.9m @ 10.2g/t AuEq (8.3g/t Au, 1.4% Cu & 3.3g/t Ag) from 463.8m (LDR-25-08) ;
    • Including 0.4m @ 60.8g/t AuEq (51.3g/t Au, 7.2% Cu & 18.0g/t Au).

With the drilling at Golden Eye completed and the majority of assays returned (assays are pending for one hole), the focus has shifted towards establishing an initial resource for Golden Eye. This will include the six holes for 1,954m completed this year as well as the compiled historic data which includes 77 holes for 21,371m. Significant historic drill intercepts 2 dating back to the 1990s returned:

  • 5.9m @ 34.1g/t AuEq (32.2g/t Au, 1.2% Cu & 27.3g/t Ag) (RD-11);
  • 4.5m @ 21.6g/t AuEq (14.9g/t Au, 4.7% Cu & 54g/t Ag) (RD-28);
  • 8.4m @ 12.7g/t AuEq (11.0g/t Au, 1.3% Cu & 15.8g/t Ag) (RD-20);
  • 7.5m @ 22.1g/t AuEq (16.0g/t Au & 4.7% Cu) (S1-87-1); and
  • 10.4m @ 12.2 g/t AuEq (7.3g/t Au, 3.5% Cu & 31.8g/t Ag) (S3-86-4).

Defining a new resource at Golden Eye, with its existing double ramp access as well as being located within 3km of the 100%-owned 900,000tpa central processing facility, is a significant head start down the development pathway of the project. With this infrastructure already in place alongside the near surface high-grade mineralisation with significant gold as well as copper and silver, there is significant scope to enhance future mining studies. Importantly, Golden Eye remains open at depth and has only been drilled to 400m below surface with deepest drilling from the current campaign returning 2.9m @ 10.2g/t AuEq from 463.8m in LDR-25-08. Exploration drilling is being planned at depth to extend mineralisation and further enhance the pending resource.

Cygnus will continue to focus on resource growth and build upon the current high-grade copper-gold resources through low-risk brownfield exploration across the camp. This work includes ongoing compilation of historic data, with Golden Eye an excellent example of the value generated through this work which is helping to unlock this historic district.

The Company confirms that the supporting information included in the original announcement continues to apply and has not materially changed, notwithstanding the clarification announcement released by Cygnus on 28 January 2025 (‘Clarification’). Cygnus confirms that (notwithstanding the Clarification) it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the original announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. Cygnus confirms that it is not in possession of any new information or data that materially impacts on the reliability of the estimates or Cygnus’ ability to verify the foreign estimates as mineral resources in accordance with the JORC Code. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons’ findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.

The information in this announcement that relates to previously reported Exploration Results at the Company’s projects has been previously released by Cygnus in ASX Announcements as noted in the text and End Notes. Cygnus is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information in these announcements. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons’ findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcements.

Individual grades for the metals included in the metal equivalents calculation for the foreign estimate are in Appendix B of this release. Metal equivalents for the foreign estimate of mineralisation have been calculated at a copper price of US$8,750/t, gold price of US$2,350/oz, with copper equivalents calculated based on the formula CuEq (%) = Cu(%) + (Au (g/t) x 0.77258). Individual grades for the metals included in the metal equivalents calculation for the exploration results are in Appendix A of this release. Metal equivalents for exploration results have been calculated at a copper price of US$8,750/t, gold price of US$2,350/oz and silver price of US$25/oz. Copper equivalents are calculated based on the formula CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + (Au(g/t) x 0.77258)+(Ag(g/t) x 0.00822). Gold equivalents are calculated based on the formula AuEq(g/t) = Au(g/t) +(Cu(%) x 1.29436)+(Ag(g/t) x 0.01064). Metallurgical recovery factors have been applied to the metal equivalents calculations, with copper metallurgical recovery assumed at 95% and precious metal (gold and silver) metallurgical recovery assumed at 85% based upon historical production at the Chibougamau Processing Facility, and the metallurgical results contained in Cygnus’ announcement dated 28 January 2025. It is the Company’s view that all elements in the metal equivalents calculations in respect of the foreign estimate and exploration results have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

APPENDIX C – 2012 JORC Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
  • All Cygnus drilling reported is NQ size (47.8 mm diameter).
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representativity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
  • NQ core was marked for splitting during logging and is sawn using a diamond core saw with a mounted jig to assure the core is cut lengthwise into equal halves.
  • Half of the cut core is placed in clean individual plastic bags with the appropriate sample tag.
  • In some instances where visible gold was observed – an additional quarter core sample is taken to verify the gold deportment across two samples.
  • The remaining half of the core is retained and incorporated into Cygnus’s secure, core library located on the property.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

  • Industry standard sampling practices were used with sample lengths ranging from 0.3 m to 1.0 m and respected geological contacts. Sample tags were placed at the beginning of each sample interval and the tag numbers were recorded in an MS Excel database.
  • Sampling practice is considered to be appropriate to the geology and style of mineralisation.
Drilling techniques Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
  • Diamond core was drilled using surface diamond rigs with industry recognised contractors Miikan Drilling. Miikan is a joint venture between Chibougamau Diamond Drilling Ltd., the First Nations community of Ouje-Bougoumou and the First Nations community of Mistissini both located in the Eeyou Istchee territory.
  • Drilling was conducted using NQ core size.
  • Directional surveys have been taken at 50m intervals.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

  • Diamond core recovery was measured for each run and calculated as a percentage of the drilled interval.
  • Overall, the core recoveries are excellent in the Chibougamau area. As a result, no bias exists.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
  • All core was geologically and geotechnically logged. Lithology, veining, alteration and mineralisation are recorded in multiple tables of the drillhole database.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
  • Geological logging of core is qualitative and descriptive in nature.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
  • 100% of the core has been logged.
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

  • The NQ diameter the core was sawn in half following a sample cutting line determined by geologists during logging and submitted for analysis on nominal 1m intervals or defined by geological boundaries determined by the logging geologist.
  • Each core sample is assigned a tag with a unique identifying number. Sample lengths are typically one metre but can be depending on zone mineralogy and boundaries.
  • This sampling technique is industry standard and deemed appropriate.
  • Sample sizes are considered appropriate to grain size of the materials being sampled.
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.
  • Sample (NQ size half core) preparation and fire assay analysis were done at Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd (‘BV’) in Timmins, Ontario, and ICP-ES multi-elements analysis was done at BV in Vancouver, B.C.
  • Samples were weighed, dried, crushed to 70% passing 2 mm, split to 250 g, and pulverized to 85% passing 75 µm.
  • Samples are fire assayed for gold (Au) (50 g) and multi-acid digestion ICP-ES finish, for 23 elements (including key elements Ag, Cu, Mo).
  • Samples with visible gold or likely to have gold grains are analysed with metallic screen fire assay.
  • Samples assaying >10.0 g/t Au are re-analysed with a gravimetric finish using a 50 g charge. Samples assaying >10% Cu are re-analysed with a sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-ES analysis using a 0.25 g charge.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
  • None used.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.
  • At Bureau Veritas, laboratory QC procedures involve the use of internal certified reference material as assay standards, along with blanks, duplicates and replicates.
Verification of sampling and assaying The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.
    The use of twinned holes.
    • No hole is twinned.
    Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
    • All logging data was completed, core marked up, logging and sampling data was entered directly into the database.
    • The logged data is stored on the site server directly.
    Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
    • There was no adjustment to the assay data.
    Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
    • The location of the drill holes and the aiming points for the orientation of the drill holes were indicated on the ground using identified stakes. The stakes marking the location of the drillholes were set up and located with a Garmin GPS model ‘GPSmap 62s’ (4m accuracy).
    • Surveys are collected using a Reflex EZ-Shot® single-shot electronic instrument with readings collected at intervals of approximately every 30 m downhole plus a reading at the bottom of the hole.
    Specification of the grid system used.
    • The grid system used is UTM NAD83 (Zone 18).
    Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
    • A Digital Terrane Model (DTM) has been used to accurately plot the vertical position of the holes, which is considered to provide an adequate level of topographic control.
    Data spacing and distribution Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
    • The drill spacing for recent drilling is considered appropriate for this type of exploration.
    • Due to the historic nature and mix of underground and surface drilling the drill hole spacing for historic drill results is highly variable.
    Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
    • No resource estimation is made.
    Whether sample compositing has been applied.
    • No sample compositing has been applied.
    Orientation of data in relation to geological structure Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.
    • Recent drilling is orientated approximately at right angles to the currently interpreted strike of the known interpreted mineralisation.
    • Due to the historic nature of the drilling the drill hole orientation for historic drill results is highly variable.
    If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.
    • No bias is considered to have been introduced by the existing sampling orientation.
    Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security.
    • Core was placed in wooden core boxes close to the drill rig by the drilling contractor. The core was collected daily by the drilling contractor and delivered to the secure core logging facility. Access to the core logging facility is limited to Cygnus employees or designates.
    Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.
    • No audits or reviews of sampling techniques or data have been undertaken, therefore information on audits or reviews is not yet available.

      • In the 1950s a shaft was sunk but the deposit was never mined
      • The deposit was later tested with three drill holes and six regional drill holes throughout two drilling campaigns in 1984 and 1986/87
      • Exploration at Colline has been halted historically with the discovery of and focus on other deposits in the region
    • Golden Eye (previously known as Dore Ramp) was drilled in a few different phases from 1984 to 1992.

      • Underground drilling campaign of 46 holes totalling 10,200 meters tested the deposit mainly to a depth of 240 meters (only five holes tested the deposit between 300 and 600 meters)
    Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.
    • Corner Bay and Devlin are located at the northeastern extremity of the Abitibi subprovince in the Superior province of the Canadian Shield and are examples of Chibougamau-type copper-gold deposits. The Abitibi subprovince is considered as one of the largest and best-preserved greenstone belts in the world and hosts numerous gold and base metal deposits.
    • The Corner Bay deposit is located on the southern flank of the Doré Lake Complex (DLC). It is hosted by a N 15° trending shear zone more or less continuous with a strong 75° to 85° dip towards the west. The host anorthosite rock is sheared and sericitized over widths of 2 m to 25 m. The deposit is cut by a diabase dyke and is limited to the north by a fault structure and to the south by the LaChib deformation zone.
    • The Corner Bay deposit consists of three main mineralized lodes (subparallel Main Lode 1 and Main Lode 2 above the dyke, and Main Lode below the dyke that make up the bulk of the deposit. The Corner Bay deposit has been traced over a strike length to over 1,100 m to a depth of 1,350 m and remains open at depth.
    • The mineralization is characterized by veins and/or lenses of massive to semi-massive sulphides associated with a brecciated to locally massive quartz-calcite material. The sulphide assemblage is composed of chalcopyrite, pyrite, and pyrrhotite with lesser amounts of molybdenite and sphalerite. Late remobilized quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite veins occur in a wide halo around the main mineralization zones.
    • Devlin is a flat-lying, copper-rich lodes-hosted deposit in a polygenic igneous breccia that is less than 100 m from the surface. The tabular bodies have been modelled as four nearly horizontal lodes: a more continuous lower zone and three smaller lodes comprising the upper zone. Mineralization is reflected as a fracture zone often composed of two or more sulphide-quartz lodes and stringers. Thickness of the mineralized zones range from 0.5 m to 4.4 m. It has been diluted during modelling to reflect a minimum mining height of 1.8 m.
    • The Joe Mann deposit is characterized by east-west striking shear hosted lodes that extend beyond 1,000 m vertically with mineralization identified over a 3 km strike length. These shear zones form part of the Opawica-Guercheville deformation zone, a major deformation corridor cutting the mafic volcanic rocks of the Obatogamau Formation in the north part of the Caopatina Segment. The gabbro sill hosts the Main Zone and the West Zone at the mine, while the South Zone is found in the rhyolite. These three subvertical E-W (N275°/85°) ductile-brittle shear zones are sub-parallel to stratigraphy and to one another, with up to 140 m to 170 m of separation between them. These shear zones are hosted within a stratigraphic package composed of iron-magnesium (Fe-Mg) carbonate and sericite altered gabbro sills, sheared basalts, and intermediate to felsic tuffs intruded by various felsic intrusions. The Joe Mann gold mineralization is hosted by decimetre scale quartz-carbonate lodes (Dion and Guha 1988). The lodes are mineralized with pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite disposed in lens and lodelets parallel to schistosity, and occasionally visible gold. There are some other minor, mineralized structures, e.g., North and South-South Zones, with limited vertical and horizontal extensions.
    • The Cedar Bay deposit is hosted by a sheared and altered gabbroic-anorthosite of the DLC. The meta-anorthosites are typically comprised of 70% to 90% plagioclase, which has been heavily altered to epidote and albite. The Cedar Bay deposit generally has a northwest strike and dips steeply to the northeast. The gold-copper sulphide veins average approximately 1.5 m in width and are tens to hundreds of metres in strike length. The individual mineralization lenses have approximately 3:1 down dip to along strike anisotropies. The veins are comprised of pyrite and chalcopyrite with some gold and minor sphalerite. The main alteration minerals are chlorite, quartz, and carbonates. Locally, pyrrhotite dominates the vein mineral assemblage. Pyrrhotite has a very heterogeneous distribution within the mineralization.
    Drill hole Information A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:
    • easting and northing of the drill hole collar
    • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
    • dip and azimuth of the hole
    • down hole length and interception depth
    • hole length.

    If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

    • All requisite drill hole information is tabulated elsewhere in this release. Refer Appendix A of the body text.
    Data aggregation methods In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
    • For recent results, drill hole intersections are reported above a lower cut-off grade of 2g/t AuEq over widths of greater than 1m.
    Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths of low-grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.
    • A maximum of 1m internal waste was allowed.
    The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.
    • Individual grades for the metals included in the metal equivalents calculation for the exploration results are in Appendices A and B of this release. Metal equivalents for exploration results have been calculated at a copper price of US$8,750/t, gold price of US$2,350/oz and silver price of US$25/oz. Copper equivalents are calculated based on the formula CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + (Au(g/t) x 0.77258)+(Ag(g/t) x 0.00822). Gold equivalents are calculated based on the formula AuEq(g/t) = Au(g/t) + (Cu(%) x 1.29436) + (Ag(g/t) x 0.01064). Metallurgical recovery factors have been applied to the metal equivalents calculations, with copper metallurgical recovery assumed at 95% and precious metal (gold and silver) metallurgical recovery assumed at 85% based upon historical production at the Chibougamau Processing Facility, and the metallurgical results contained in Cygnus’ announcement dated 28 January 2025. It is the Company’s view that all elements in the metal equivalent calculations have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
    Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.

    If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.

    If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’).

    • All intersections reported in the body of this release are down hole.
    • For recent drill holes, holes are drilled as close to orthogonal to the plane of the mineralized lodes as possible.
    • True width is estimated to be about 80% of the downhole drill intersection
    Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported. These should include,but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
    • Refer Figure 1 (Long Section of Golden Eye) and 2 (Long Section through the Chibougamau North Camp illustrating Golden Eye) in the body of the announcement.
    • Refer Figure 3 Plan view of recent drilling relative to historic drilling and the 1992 ramp access.
    Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
    • Recent infill and expansion drilling at Golden Eye totals 6 holes for 1,954m, with assay results for five drill holes received to date. All results greater than 2g/t AuEq over greater than 1m width have been reported.
    Other substantive exploration data Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.
    • There is no other substantive exploration data.
    Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

    Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.

    • The Company plans to conduct drill testing of additional mineralisation as well as step out drilling of existing lodes. More information is presented in the body of this report.
    • Diagrams in the main body of this release show areas of possible resource extension on existing lodes. The Company continues to identify and assess multiple other target areas within the property boundary for additional resources.
