“Finding anomalous gold values in a dozen samples, including up to 6.7g/t, on the first ever prospecting trip to the target trend is a huge success for the project and our team”, commented Targa CEO, Cameron Tymstra. “Every trip we have made to Opinaca we have come back with more encouraging data to support our thesis that a gold system exists in the area. We have gone from a geochemical anomaly to a 7km trend supported by gold grain data and now for the first time we have found anomalous gold in boulders spread across the trend. We are continuing to work with Kenorland Minerals to make plans for a return to Opinaca in 2025 to continue advancing the project towards discovery.” Targa’s Opinaca project in in the James Bay region of Quebec saw a 5km x 4km gold-in-till anomaly discovered in late 2023. Targa acquired 100% ownership of the Opinaca Project from Kenorland Minerals in December 2022.

Ivan Bebek, Chair and CEO, commented, “We are well-financed and in the early stages of our budgeted 30-hole core drill program (49 holes permitted), with eight holes completed and assays back from our first five holes. We are highly encouraged with the early indications of the mineralized porphyry/skarn system in hole 4 on the edge of our Hojota target vectoring toward stronger mineralization, and the technical team advancing at a great pace. The efforts to expand our permits to allow for additional holes and drill rigs reflect our increased confidence in the system and multiple targets, as we look forward to receiving the results of the next holes and continuing to drill the target-rich skarn and porphyry system. This is just the beginning of an opportunity that could provide multiple significant copper and gold targets and discoveries.” Sponsor: https://coppernicometals.com/ Press Release discussed: https://coppernicometals.com/news-media/news-releases/coppernico-drills-19-meters-of-0.50-copper-in-first

“Since acquiring 100% ownership of the Éléonore South joint venture earlier this year from Newmont, the Éléonore style anomaly has been at the top of our prospective list,” commented Tim Clark, CEO of Fury. “Given the size, scale, and proximity to Newmont’s Éléonore Mine, we believe any success could create potential upside for investors and thus we are excited to commence drilling in Q1 of 2025.” Fury Gold Mines has finalized drill targeting after completing a surficial geochemical survey at the Éléonore South gold project located in the Eeyou Istchee Territory in the James Bay region of Quebec. Drilling will target robust geochemical gold anomalies within the same sedimentary rock package that hosts Newmont’s Éléonore Mine. The completed biogeochemical sampling survey covered an interpreted fold nose within the Low Formation sediments where an orientation level study identified a large-scale gold anomaly in a similar geological, geophysical, and structural setting to that of the nearby Éléonore Mine (see n
