Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively, "FLI") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. FLI is based on the current expectations, estimates, projections, and assumptions as of the date of this news release. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein are FLI and involve various risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Generally, FLI can be identified by terminology such as "expects," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "plans," "intends," "predicts," "projects," "seeks," "potential," "targets," or similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. FLI includes, but is not limited to, statements regarding the Company's exploration activities, anticipated economic assessments, projected production, operating costs, capital costs, potential revenues, and other forward-looking metrics related to the Lac Arsenault Project.


Specifically, FLI contained in this news release includes statements regarding the revenue projections from a proposed bulk sample program at the Lac Arsenault Project. These projections are based on the extraction of an estimated 10,000 tonnes of material with an average grade of 15.55 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold, translating to approximately 5,000 ounces of contained gold.

Applying a metallurgical recovery rate of 80%, this yields an estimated 4,000 ounces of gold production. At an assumed gold price of USD $1,800 per ounce and a USD/CAD exchange rate of 1.25, the anticipated revenue is approximately CAD $9,000,000. The associated costs for the bulk sample program, including drilling, transportation, and processing, are projected to total approximately CAD $2,500,000, based on existing fixed contractual agreements.


FLI is provided to help readers understand management's current expectations and is not a guarantee of future results. FLI is subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such FLI. These risks include, but are not limited to, the accuracy of mineral grade estimates, metallurgical recovery rates, gold price fluctuations, foreign exchange rate volatility, unforeseen technical or operational challenges, regulatory changes, environmental risks, community and governmental actions, and the ability of the Company to secure required funding and approvals.


While management believes the assumptions and expectations reflected in the FLI are reasonable as of the date of this news release, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove correct, and actual outcomes may vary materially. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on FLI. The Company will only update or revise any FLI in accordance with applicable law, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise and may even withdraw such FLI if it feels that such action is warranted. Such updates, revisions or withdrawals of FLI will be disclosed in such manner as required by law.


The assumptions upon which the FLI is based include, but are not limited to, geological data, historical exploration results, economic conditions, market demand for gold, and the accuracy of fixed contractual cost estimates. Additional risks and uncertainties regarding the Company's business are outlined in the Company's public disclosure documents available at www.sedarplus.ca.
