Alteration Types

The alteration types and metal associations at Newton are nearly identical to those epithermal gold deposits in British Columbia – including the large Blackwater, Prosperity, Brucejack and Snowfields deposits

Epithermal Gold

The Newton Gold Project is a large, low - to intermediate-sulphidation, epithermal gold deposit that formed at about 72 Ma (Re-Os date by McClenaghan, 2012), contemporaneous with felsic volcanic and intrusive rocks emplaced into a rifted, structurally-active graben

Gold Mineralization

Gold mineralization is predominately hosted by Late Cretaceous felsic volcanic and intrusive rocks but also occurs in mafic volcanic and clastic sedimentary rocks and along fault and fracture zones

Strong quartz-sericite

Gold and associated base metal mineralization precipitated in extensive zones of strong quartz-sericite alteration

UNDERSTANDING NEWTON

Geology

The Newton Project hosts multiple gold-bearing geological domains, with mineralization associated with strong quartz-sericite alteration in felsic volcanic and intrusive rocks. The system shows similarities to the nearby Blackwater deposit, 180 km to the north.

RESOURCE UPSIDE OF EXISTING DEPOSIT

Northern portion of resource has multiple gold grades in excess of 1 gpt
Hole spacing prevents intersections from being incorporated into current resource
Room to expand outside of current resource pit shell
High grade intervals marked as waste in resource
Multiple high-grade intersections exist outside of the current resource
Strong continuity of high grade within main zone
Felsic volcanic host rock was encountered nearly the entire 1,001 meters to depth which historically hosted all the gold and silver credits
1- Phase 1 drilling tested unchartered open at depth 500+ meters below the current deposit with a 1,001 meter drill hole
Open in almost every direction and at depth

AU SOIL ANOMALY

2,000m x 1,500m gold-in-soil anomaly—resource covers just 800m x 800m. Historic intercepts and untested felsic zones offer strong upside potential.

FOOTBALL FIELDS OF CONTIGUOUS PRECIOUS METALS ZONES

Main Zone – Vein Stockworks

  • Typically, around 2 gpt Au
  • Up to 8 gpt Au
  • Ag can reach up to 200 gpt
  • Pb, Zn, Mo are present as well
  • The IP anomaly measures 4 km x 2 km and covers an area greater than 7 sq/km
  • Yet, the current resource occupies slightly over 0.5 sq/km or just 7%​ of the anomaly

IP ANOMALY

Coincident IP and gold-in-soil anomalies, along with near-surface high-grade intercepts, define strong exploration potential beyond the known resource. Limited drilling has so far tested only 7% of the IP anomaly, leaving significant room for expansion within surrounding and overlooked geological domains.

Exploration & Drilling Highlights

Expansive Mineralized System

Over 100 drill holes have been completed on the property to date, with many outside the defined resource intersecting gold. Several holes were only partially assayed, leaving untapped potential. Coincident IP and gold-in-soil anomalies, together with favorable felsic geology, suggest a much larger, expandable gold-silver system than currently defined.

Strong Geological Indicators

The gold-in-soil anomaly spans 2,000m x 1,500m, while the defined resource occupies only 800m x 800m. Limited drilling density to date has tested just 7% of the IP anomaly — highlighting significant room for growth and discovery.

Subheading 3: Notable Drill Results & New Zones

  • Continuous felsic domains exceeding 1,000m confirmed.

  • Consistent Au-Ag mineralization from surface to >600m depth, open at depth.

  • High-grade intercepts include:

    • 25.5m @ 1.52 g/t Au & 6.01 g/t Ag (N23-089)

    • 18m @ 1.65 g/t Au & 1.83 g/t Ag (N23-091)

    • 30m @ 1.24 g/t Au & 1.6 g/t Ag from 413m

Drilling also confirmed a new near-surface high-grade zone — the “Halo Area” — returning 39m @ 0.75 g/t Au from 14.9m (N23-093).
Mineralization remains open in multiple directions, with additional gold and silver zones discovered farther northwest in the newly identified
“Sunrise Area.”

80% GOLD RECOVERY

2024 PRELIMINARY METALLURGICAL RESULTS

Potential for Resource Expansion

Favorable geological domains, coincident IP chargeability and gold-in-soil anomalies, together with extensive historical drilling, support the Newton resource expansion thesis. The potential lateral expansion area spans roughly 2,000m x 1,500m, with numerous historical holes north and west of the current resource returning grades above 1 g/t Au. Several mineralized felsic domains in these areas remain untested and open, highlighting strong upside potential across the property.
Based on 100m drill spacing, an estimated 200 additional holes across the broader expansion area could meaningfully increase the inferred resource at Newton, pending successful results.
