Dear shareholders, stakeholders, and friends,
The last six months have been incredibly successful for Tudor Gold. Since announcing the final results from our seven-hole, 10,000-meter, drill program on the Goldstorm Deposit, investor reaction to the results has been very positive. While the recent increase in gold prices, now surpassing $2,700 per ounce, has contributed to this enthusiasm, the confirmation of the Supercell-One high-grade gold zone has also transformed perception of the Goldstorm Deposit – from a large, bulk tonnage, potentially higher capex, project into something far more promising.
This new SC-1 discovery at Treaty Creek brings back memories of my time with Silver Standard Resources, drilling off the Snowfield Deposit, then later spinning out Pretium Resources after we discovered Brucejack Lake’s Valley of the Kings Deposit. With striking similarities to our Treaty Creek story, we began in 2009-2010 drilling for a bulk-tonnage porphyry target around the many Brucejack Lake mineralized zones. Our original objective was to discover a large, low-grade gold-silver asset until we stumbled upon the Valley of the Kings breccia-lode complex, which is now one of Canada’s highest grade underground mines under Newmont’s operation. This world-class deposit is located just 10 kilometers south of the Treaty Creek Property.
Now, it seems that history is repeating itself for me 15 years later at Treaty Creek, with Tudor Gold having the potential to develop the Goldstorm Deposit, hinged upon a significant high-grade gold discovery within the Supercell-One gold-dominant breccia-lode complex. The original theory was that we had encountered a single 5-10 m wide quartz-pyrite-gold micro-breccia system superimposed upon and around the gold-copper rich CS-600 Domain, that had formed as a late-stage mineralizing event. After completing the seven drill holes this season, it was obvious that we had identified not one, but four, individual high-grade structures. The initial SC-1 zone was re-labeled as SC-1C, as there were two more structures discovered above it (SC-1A and SC-1B), and one more below (SC-1D). The company optimistically envisions a future path heading toward a large, multi-generational project that begins with a high-grade underground starter operation and expands into a substantial block-cave underground copper-gold-silver producer, which could potentially generate up to 500,000 ounces of gold equivalent per year. In my estimation, the future looks very promising for Treaty Creek.
So far, the SC-1 high-grade gold system has an impressive extent of up to 800 meters along strike and 400 meters in width, comprised of four sub-parallel structures that remain open in all directions and at depth. In addition to expanding the size of the known Supercells, significant potential exists to discover more Supercells within known domains and subparallel to the four newly discovered micro-breccia systems. Drill results from the SC-1 area include nine holes that have intersected mineralization, with the following highlights:
Moving forward we plan to review other gold-dominant sub-domains within the Goldstorm Deposit such as R-66 and 300N that show similar structural characteristics and are composed of similar gold rich quartz-pyrite micro-breccia veinlets, as part of our strategy to expand the high-grade gold potential of the Goldstorm Deposit.
To better showcase and communicate the technical potential of the Treaty Creek project, Tudor Gold recently integrated VRIFY interactive technology into the company’s presentation. Click the image below or link to the VRIFY presentation to explore the Goldstorm 3D model.
GOLDSTORM MODEL HIGHLIGHTING THE SC-1 STRUCTURES
In October, we announced positive metallurgical test results for the Lower CS-600 Sub-Domain. Highlights from the testing include:
This simple rougher-cleaner flotation process resulted in an exceptionally clean, high-grade saleable concentrate with impressive metal recoveries of approximately 88% copper and 64% gold – results we are very pleased with.

To protect its mineral tenure rights, property interests, and shareholders, Tudor Gold Corp. has retained outside legal counsel to advise on the recent license of occupation obtained by Seabridge Gold Inc., through its subsidiary KSM Mining LLC. The legal team will also review additional permits obtained by Seabridge and KSM. Should it be deemed advisable and necessary, Tudor Gold will instruct counsel to take appropriate action to challenge, set aside, or modify the license of occupation and related permits to protect Tudor Gold’s property interests and to further the best interests of its shareholders.
Marketing efforts over the past few months have intensified. In September, Tudor Gold participated in key events such as the Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek and the Gold Forum Americas in Colorado Springs. The interest from investors in our company was robust, with over 70 meetings held with resource investors and major mining companies at these conferences.
In October, Tudor Gold also participated in the Money Show in Orlando, Florida, capitalizing on the recent all-time high in the gold price. The positive response received at the event indicates that Americans are increasingly focusing on the upward trend in the gold price and the potential implications for Tudor Gold as we progress with the development of our Goldstorm Deposit.
Additional marketing efforts in Europe during late October were highly successful, as our team engaged with over 150 investors over a week-long period. Our plans for November include returning to London to participate in the 121 Mining Conference and heading to Zurich for the SMI Resource Conference to further expand our reach and connections in the investment industry.
To arrange a meeting with us, please contact Chris Curran, our VP of Investor Relations and Corporate Development, at chris.curran@tudor-gold.com, or Patrick Donnelly, our VP of Capital Markets, at patrick@tudor-gold.com. We are flexible and can accommodate calls and Zoom meetings to suit your schedule, even during our industry conference trips.
Since the last letter, issued in September, Tudor Gold has been featured in several video interviews. For those who haven’t viewed some of these interviews, please click on the links below:
Looking ahead, we remain dedicated to advancing the Goldstorm Deposit and the Supercell-One high-grade area, which we believe will deliver value to our shareholders.
As always, I am grateful for your continued support as we make significant strides in realizing the full potential of our project.
Sincerely,
Ken Konkin, P. Geo.
