Santana.
Extensive high-grade copper-silver-gold system with both waste rock and hard rock potential. Waste rock: Approximately 40,000t in piles from a large bulk sampling program in 1917. Hard rock: Large visible outcrops showing mineralization and extending over significant distances.

Santana.
On Quadra Island, about two hours north of Mount Sicker, mining in and around 1915 left high-sulphide waste piles still carrying copper, silver and gold. Large surface outcrops show visible copper mineralization, suggesting hard rock potential.
Sampling of the waste: a 61-sample grid program (reported October 2025) averaged 3.09% Cu, 84.8 g/t Ag and 0.82 g/t Au.
Sampling of the hard rock: a 1917 bulk sample returned averages of 79.4 g/t Ag, 1.4 g/t Au and 4.8% Cu.
Sasquatch acquired the single 517-hectare claim outright in April 2025.
Progress highlights.
Since locating the 1915 bulk sampling program results, the Company has completed two new sampling programs – one prospecting/sampling program in 2023/2024 and a grid sampling program across located waste piles in 2025.

Surface, grid, channel and ore-sort samples are selective by nature and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization across the property. Historical production and results were obtained by prior operators and have not been independently verified by the Company; they are not current mineral resources. Technical disclosure reviewed and approved by a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. See SEDAR+ for details.

What to expect.
The Company already has a pretty good idea surrounding waste rock composition at Santana, but has really only started to “scratch the surface” of hard rock exploration potential. Given that there are lower volumes of waste rock at Santana (~40k t) compared to Mount Sicker (~400k t) and Blue Grouse (~300k t), the hard rock component will be important to ensure Santana is economically viable. In the future, work will be focused on sampling and drilling mineralized outcrops (of which there are many – one pictured to the right).
