Intersections as reported by TomaGold on December 22, 2025, include:
Main High-Grade Intersections:
- Hole TOM-25-009 (from 156.70 m): 6.68% ZnEq (1.57 g/t AuEq) over 48.05 metres, including 39.03% ZnEq (9.15 g/t AuEq) over 2.90 metres and 21.86% ZnEq (5.12 g/t AuEq) over 5.40 metres.
- Hole TOM-25-009 (from 244.50 m): 5.44% ZnEq (1.27 g/t AuEq) over 15.20 metres, including 25.15% ZnEq (5.85 g/t AuEq) over 2.55 metres.

Note: The reported widths from TomaGold represent core lengths. ZnEq and AuEq are calculated using the Company’s standard parameters. True width is estimated to be approximately 80–85% of the core length, depending on the deviation angles.
Five additional holes targeting lateral and depth extensions of the mineralized envelope are out for assay and a Borehole EM Survey is currently underway to try to identify new targets in the area of the currently disclosed drill-hole assay results. See attached longitudinal section.
