Copper Road.
A near-surface copper system approximately 2km from the Mount Sicker waste site, with both waste rock and hard rock possibilities. Waste rock: a significant volume of high-grade waste, where a logging road was cut, and quite literally built, out of mineralized rock. Hard rock: substantial in-ground mineralization extending across both sides of the road, with future hard rock deposit potential.

Copper Road.
Two to three kilometres from the original Mount Sicker workings, recent logging cut new roads straight through mineralized ground. The exposure sits on the largest geophysical anomaly on the mountain, with copper mineralization mapped from surface to roughly 200–250 metres.
Sampling of the road base: a 48-sample grid averaged 0.87% Cu.
Sampling of the adjacent hard rock: nine channel samples over 24.7 metres averaged 2.36% Cu.
A trenching and bulk-sampling permit is in hand, and a 2026 gravity survey has shown a high-density anomaly.
Progress highlights.
Since acquiring Copper Road in 2025, the Company has completed a grid sampling survey of the mineralized road material, channel sampling of outcrops adjacent to the road, and a geophysical survey of the hard rock zone as depicted below.

Surface, grid and channel samples are selective by nature and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization across the property. Geophysical interpretations and historic information remain subject to further verification. Technical disclosure is subject to the Company’s NI 43-101 reporting requirements.
What to expect.
Similar to what we have at the nearby legacy mine site, the high-sulphide waste at Copper Road is environmentally problematic. Once the Mount Sicker Project is permitted, it is anticipated that the Company will be able to tack-on the material at Copper Road, which would simply be sorted and removed from the site in the same manner. In addition, the area has shown significant potential as a future discovery, which could be explored further following the clean-up.
