Business Strategy
- Exploration Partnerships (Option to Joint Venture) = Lower Risk
- Equity + Royalty Generation = Value Creation
- Sole-funded Exploration: Discovery-Focused
Exploration Strategy
- Safe Jurisdictions: politically stable and mining-friendly
- Commodity Focus: Au, Cu, Ni, Li
- Large-scale: exposure to 1,328,000 hectares mineral tenure

2023 Winter Exploration Program and Budget
A total exploration budget of C$6.5 million has been approved by the joint venture for the winter drill program underway at the Regnault gold discovery on the Frotet Project. The drill program will include up to 22,000m of diamond drilling over 25 drill holes. Approximately 50% of the proposed drilling will focus on broad step-outs expanding the recent vein discoveries along the R5, R6, R7 and R8 structures. These thirteen drill holes are planned to extend mineralisation from 500m to 650m depth from surface, stepping out from and below high-grade intersections returned from the 2022 program.
