• 665 000 oz gold (Inferred) at a grade of 3.35 g/t Au.
• For the purposes of this MRE, an underground mining approach is applied.
• Open to depth and holds potential for lateral expansion.

2) Wenot deposit

• Updates the initial MRE for Wenot, announced only nine months ago in January 2022.
• 756 600 oz gold (Indicated), an 8% increase over the initial January 2022 MRE.

“We are extremely pleased with the results of this updated 2022 MRE. In addition to more than doubling our NI 43-101 MRE in nine months, we were able to accelerate and exceed our goal of bringing the Gilt Creek Gold deposit and a Wenot deposit expansion into the company’s MRE before year end 2022.”
