Joutel North-West /Gagne Property Highlights

• There are 46 mining claims on the Joutel North-West property and 24 mining claims on the Gagne property in the Eeyou-Istchee James Bay Territory of Quebec, about 65 km south-west of Matagami and 8 km northwest of the former mining village of Joutel. The property is accessible by highway 109 and a there is high voltage power to the former producing Agnico Eagle Gold mine Eagle – Telbel nearby.
• The properties are situated along the South Break of the Casa Berardi Structural zone adjacent to several past producing mines including the Globex-owned Poirier mine (historic production of 4.39 Mt grading 1.97% Cu, 1.84% Zin and 4.66 g/t Ag) and Joutel Copper Mine (historic production of 1.17 Mt grading 2.16% Cu) and Agnico Eagles first gold mine the Eagle – Telbel -Eagle West deposits which had historic production of approximately 1.1 million ounces from 6.2 Mt grading 5.8 g/t. Agnico closed the Eagle Telbel mine in 1993. Globex currently owns the Eagle Mine which is under option to Maple Gold Mines.

• Orford Mining (now Alamos Gold) last worked the Joutel North West property 2022-2023, principally focused on Quartz Carbonate and Sulphides associated gold mineralization at the South Gold Zone (Exhibit 2 and 3). Not unlike the historic Eagle Telbel deposits, exploration of the South Gold Zone has shown that a greater concentration of sulphides is directly correlated to higher gold grades on the property. Some of the drilling highlights from the South Gold Zone drilling by Orford Mining are shown below and in Exhibits 2 and 3:
  • 23-JE-004 returned 1.6 m grading 4.1 g/t Au and 30.1 m @ 1.1g/t Au.
  • 23-JE-015 returned 54.7 m @ 1.1 g/t Au.
  • 22-JE-003 returned 20.64 m @ 1.11 g/t Au including 4.15 m @ 1.78 g/t Au and 0.64 m @ 14.7 g/t Au.
  • 23-JE-008 returned 15.7 m @ 1.7 g/t Au and 14.2 m @ 2.2g/t Au.
• The South Gold Zone clearly demonstrates zones for thick mineralization with potential for a higher-grade core that may continue to depth. The deepest intercept (Exhibit 3) from 1989 in hole 89-A-02-W-1 intersected 2.5 m @ 0.9g/t Au at about 500 metre depth. About 100 metres above that in 1983 drilling hole
• 83-03 intersected 6.3 m @ 2.9 g/t Au including 2.3 m @ 5.3g/t Au.
• There is also a potential parallel zone to the north of the South Gold Zone discovered during the Orford Mining Drilling campaigns where hole 23-JE-007 intersected 16.1 m of 1.3 g/t Au (Exhibit 2).
• Outside the South Gold Zone there has been limited exploration despite an abundance of geophysical and structural targets along the 11 km of property covering the south break of the Casa Berardi Structural zone and another 6 kms of strike along the Gagne property which is southwest of the main Casa Berardi Structural zone.
• The Gagne Property is contiguous to the south end of the Joutel North–West property and southwest of the main Casa Berardi Structural zone. The property has a number copper and silver drill hole intersections in drill hole VAL-01 of up to 1.63% CU and 11.5 g/t Ag over 0.7 m and Joutel PS drilling returning results of up to 7.86% Cu, 72.2 g/t Ag and 0.20 g/t Au over 2.21 m and high-grade gold in trenching up to 22.6 g/t Au over 1.5 m. (See Exhibit 4). The Gagne property has a number of surface showings and drill hole intercepts that require follow-up exploration.
