Highlights

The 2025 winter drill program at the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property is well underway, targeting a minimum of 15,000 m over the January to April period.
The winter drill program has three primary objectives:
- Extend the high-gradeVega Zone (CV13 Pegmatite) westward along an interpreted structural corridor toward the CV12 Pegmatite,
- Test the highly prospective CV5 to CV13 pegmatite corridor, and
- Complete condemnation drilling at two proposed waste rock pile locations in support of the ongoing Feasibility Study at the CV5 Pegmatite.
Up to four (4) drill rigs are anticipated to support the winter program.
Majority of the drill program anticipated to be ground supported, through a combination of all-season and winter road.
Core assay results remain to be reported for 98 drill holes (31,513 m) from the CV5 Pegmatite completed in fall 2024.
The Company is on track to provide a Feasibility Study and maiden Ore Reserve Estimate to the market in the third quarter of 2025.

Darren L. Smith, Executive and Vice President of Exploration for the Company, comments: "2025 will be a less drill intensive year compared to 2024; however, exploration drilling along the CV Trend remains a key component of the Company's flowthrough spend strategy as the CV5 Pegmatite advances through development. The primary focus for the winter drill program will be further delineation and extension of the CV13 Spodumene Pegmatite, including the high-grade Vega Zone, and supporting the Feasibility and development needs for the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite."
