The 117 km² Catch Property is located 56 km southeast of Carmacks within the traditional territory of the Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation. The property is 10 km from an all-season highway and powerline and is accessible by float plane and helicopter. The first two diamond drill holes ever completed on the property returned a highlight of 116.60 m of 0.31% copper with 0.30 g/t gold at the Diorite Zone target, confirming a significant new copper-gold porphyry discovery.

The Catch Property exhibits extensive copper and gold soil geochemistry anomalism, including a 5,000 x 500 m zone of anomalous copper and gold. Two zones of copper and gold mineralization have been identified at surface, the Main Zone and Diorite Zone. The Main Zone has an average rock grade of 0.32% copper with 0.70 g/ t gold in 258 rocks collected at surface over a 500 x 500 m area and an underlying 1,000 x 600 x 400 m coincident chargeability and resistivity high. The Diorite Zone has an average rock grade of 0.41% copper with 1.07 g/t gold in 130 rocks collected at surface over a 500 x 500 m area and has an underlying 1,000 x 500 x 300 m chargeability high.

Catch Diamond Drilling Results

The inaugural diamond drill program at the Catch Property was completed in fall 2023. A total of five holes were drilled, totaling 2,462 m. The first two holes were completed at the Diorite Zone. Hole CA-23-001 ended at 511.83 m depth and Hole CA-23-002 ended at 554.00 m depth, with sulphide mineralization (pyrite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite) observed to the end of both holes. Both holes were targeting a broad Induced Polarization (“IP”) chargeability anomaly at depth, underlying coincident high-grade surface mineralization, within a pronounced magnetic anomaly. An additional three holes were drilled at the Main Zone, located 2 km north, and results from these holes are pending.

Hole CA-23-002 intersected 116.60 m of 0.31% copper and 0.30 g/t gold from 356.00 m downhole, within a broader interval of 435.00 m of 0.16% copper and 0.09 g/t gold. Hole CA-23-001 intersected 45.83 m of 0.30% copper and 0.15 g/t gold from surface, within a broader interval of 333.87 m of 0.13% copper. These holes were drilled 160 m apart, in the middle of coincident 1,200 x 600 m chargeability and 800 x 600 m magnetic anomalies that are just beginning to be tested.

Drill Hole	From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)^*	Copper (%)	Gold (g/t)
CA -23-001	14.00	347.87	333.87	0.13	0.04
incl.	14.00	59.83	45.83	0.30	0.15
CA -23-002	80.00	515.00	435.00	0.16	0.09
incl.	356.00	472.60	116.60	0.31	0.30
and incl.	357.93	362.00	4.07	0.51	6.03
and incl.	407.00	472.60	65.60	0.40	0.13

* The reported intervals are drilled thicknesses and true widths are unknown.

Drilling has yet to intersect significant potassic alteration, suggesting there is potential to discover higher copper and gold grades in the untested core of the porphyry system. Additional drilling will be required to vector towards this core, with a robust follow-up program planned to commence in spring 2024.

Catch Geology and Mineralization

The Catch Property lies within the Stikine Terrane and is immediately adjacent to the 1,000+ km long, deep seated, crustal scale strike-slip Teslin-Thibert fault. The Stikine Terrane is characterized by Late Triassic to early Jurassic volcanic-plutonic arc complexes that are well-endowed with copper-gold-molybdenum porphyries including the Red Chris, Schaft Creek, Kemess, KSM and Galore Creek deposits and mines.

The Catch Property is mostly underlain by augite phyric basalt of the Semenof Formation, centered on a 7 x 3 km regional magnetic high. Mineralization is associated with propylitic to sericitic alteration of basalt and lesser diorite, intrusion breccias and hydrothermal breccias. Locally there is intense silicification, brecciation and up to 10% disseminated to blebby pyrite, chalcopyrite and trace bornite and pyrrhotite. Secondary copper minerals including malachite, azurite and tenorite are widespread at surface, and coat fracture surfaces, and are often associated with gypsum.

The geology, alteration and mineralization observed throughout the Catch Property are all indicative of a nearby copper-gold±molybdenum bearing porphyry system.
