The company’s 100% interest in six gold exploration properties gives it a substantial landholding in the historical Beardmore-Geraldton Gold Belt of Ontario (“BGB”) - a belt that has produced over four million ounces of gold historically, and contains the world-class Greenstone gold project (formerly known as the Hardrock gold project) which is being brought to production by a joint venture partnership between Equinox Gold (TSE:EQX) and Orion Mine Finance. All six of our BGB properties host documented gold occurrences and geological features diagnostic of orogenic gold systems similar to historical producers and deposits currently under development in the region.

According to the world-renowned Fraser Institute’s annual ranking of mining jurisdictions, Ontario ranks as a top-tier mining jurisdiction for Investment Attractiveness, Policy Perception, Best Practices, Mineral Potential, Permitting Confidence, Enforcement of Regulations, Taxation, Quality of Infrastructure, Socio-Economic Agreements, Trade Barriers, Political Stability, Labour Regulations, Safety & Security, and Availability of Skills & Labour. Our technical team has long-standing relationships with the local community and First Nations groups active in the BGB, and we are looking forward to carrying out our planned exploration activities in the region in a socially and environmentally responsible way.

In addition to advancing our current portfolio of exploration properties in the BGB, our technical team is also pursuing acquisition opportunities that will help grow shareholder value as gold reinserts itself as a key hedge against inflation, and as industrial metals appreciate due to global supply chain shortages.
