DRILL RESULTS SUMMARY

• In 2023, the company completed a total of 6,028 m (19,776 ft) of underground drilling in 73 DD holes at Trixie. Assays have now been received for all 2023 holes testing the Trixie high sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag targets. A new mineral resource estimate for the Trixie deposit is in progress and is expected to be released in March 2024. The Trixie MRE will include all underground drilling and chip sample assays from the 2023 program.

• One additional hole (TRXU-DD-23-073) was drilled to a depth of 759.6 m (2,492 ft) and targeted a copper-gold porphyry target below Trixie. Assays for this hole are pending.
• The focus of these recent holes was to test for mineralization along one of the priority target areas south on strike from the known T2 domain, south towards the Sioux Ajax fault (see Figure 2). Results from holes TRXU-DD-23-065 (5.79 g/t Au over 13.72 m), TRXU-DD-23-066 (10.84 g/t over 4.57 m) and TRXU-DD-23-068 (23.89 g/t Au over 9.45 m) indicate that the mineralization appears to be plunging to the south towards the Sioux Ajax Fault.
• One diamond drill rig is currently active at surface testing a copper-gold-molybdenum target at Big Hill and is at a current depth of 922 m (3,028 ft). The target depth for this hole is approximately 1,524 m (5,000 ft). Assays are pending for this drillhole.

• 385.26 g/t Au and 1094.04 g/t Ag over 0.30 m in CH01687 (11.24 oz/t Au and 31.91 oz/t Ag over 1.00 ft)
• 26.89 g/t Au and 186.63 g/t Ag over 3.05 m in CH01682 (0.78 oz/t Au and 5.44 oz/t Ag over 10.00 ft)
• 28.62 g/t Au and 150.08 g/t Ag over 2.23 m in CH01676 (0.83 oz/t Au and 4.38 oz/t Ag over 7.30 ft) including
  • 62.60 g/t Au and 247.62 g/t Ag over 0.91 m (1.83 oz/t Au and 7.22 oz/t Ag over 3.00 ft)
• 7.74 g/t Au and 202.67 g/t Ag over 7.62 m in CH01679 (0.23 oz/t Au and 5.91 oz/t Ag over 25.00 ft)

CHIP SAMPLE SUMMARY

• Chip samples were collected in new development areas in the face and walls of exploration crosscuts to explore along all domains of the Trixie deposit on the 625 Level, to the north towards the Trixie Fault and to the south towards the Sioux Ajax Fault.
• The sampling and drilling results indicate that target areas to the north of Trixie and to the south down plunge of the T2 structure are potentially mineralized and warrant further follow-up exploration drilling and sampling to understand the extent of mineralization.

About Trixie

The Trixie test mine is one of several gold and base metal targets within the larger Tintic Project consisting of >17,000 acres of patented mining claims and mineral leases (14,200 acres of patented mining claims and a further approximately 3,000 acres of overwhelmingly leased patented mining claims) within the historic East Tintic Mining District of Central Utah, U.S.A. The T2 and T4 structures at Trixie show multi-ounce gold grades associated with high sulphidation epithermal mineralization, structurally controlled and hosted within quartzites. The T2 structure mineralization consists of native Au, and rare Au-Ag rich telluride minerals with quartz. The T4 is a mineralized stockwork zone is located in the hanging wall of the T2 and is comprised of Au-Ag rich mineralization in host rock quartzite with quartz-barite-sulphosalt stockwork veining. Mineralization reports consistent multi-ounce gold grades along the entire strike length.

Face Sampling Methodology

As most structures at Trixie are steeply dipping to the east or west, current sampling procedures are designed to sample the structure. Chip samples are collected and do not exceed 1.0 m (3 ft.) in length. The face is washed for safety, and for better identification of mineralization, alteration and structures. The hanging wall and footwall of the structures are marked up on the face and back, samples intervals are marked up and follow lithological contacts.

Samples are collected in feet and assays are reported in grams per tonne and troy ounce per short ton gold and silver. Conversions to metric and imperial measurements are rounded to two decimal places.

Quality Assurance– Quality Control

All drill core and exploration samples are dispatched to SGS Canada’s laboratory in Burnaby, British Columbia for offsite sample preparation and analysis. Samples are assigned a unique sample ID. All geological and sampling information is entered into Datamine Fusion database. Core is sawn in half and half is sampled. Certified standards and blanks are inserted into all sample dispatches. Samples are collected by Old Dominion Transportation and dispatched to SGS Canada’s laboratory in Burnaby, British Columbia. Sample submission forms accompany the samples, and digital copies are emailed to SGS Canada.

All core sample preparation is completed by SGS Canada, including drying, crushing, and pulverizing of samples. Analytical assays include gold by 30 gram fire assay with AAS finish (GO_FAA30V10), and gold overlimits by fire assay with gravimetric finish (GO_FAG30V). Multielement analysis (including silver) is by four-acid digest with ICP-AES/ICP-MS finish (GE_ICM40Q12). The pulps are returned to Osisko Development and coarse rejects are disposed after 90 days. Assays are reported to Osisko Development and then loaded into Datamine Fusion. Quality Assurance-Quality Control samples are checked, and assays are merged with sample information for future reporting.

Underground face samples are collected by Company geologists from each of the active mining faces, with samples transported by the geologists from Trixie to the on-site Company laboratory located at the Burgin administrative complex. Underground samples are dried, crushed to <10 mm and a 250 g split is taken. The split is pulverized, and a 30 g Fire Assay with gravimetric finish is completed to determine gold and silver grades, reported in oz/short ton and g/t.

The Company’s Burgin laboratory is not a certified analytical laboratory, but the facility is managed by a qualified laboratory manager with annual auditing by technical staff. Inter-laboratory check assays using ALS Laboratory as a third-party independent analysis of samples is routinely carried out as part of ongoing QA/QC work. Certified OREAS QC standards and blanks are inserted at regular intervals in the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance.

True width determination is estimated to be approximately 0.3 m to 2.4 m (1 to 8 ft.) wide for the T2 structure, approximately 3 m to 25 m (10 to 80 ft.) for the T4 mineralized stockwork zone located in the hanging wall of the T2 structure and 1.5 m to 3 m (5 to 9 ft.) for the 75-85 structure.
