remains open at depth and along strike
• Camp scale potential with 5 historical mines and multiple gold
workings along structural corridors
• Mining tenements already granted, heritage agreements in place,
short approval time frame
• Robust study shows:

Star of Mangaroon – Scoping Study
High-Grade open pit with robust financials
• Mining and trucking operation delivering gold ore to the Paulsens
Gold Operation owned by Black Cat.

• ~$40M in free cashflow (@ $4,100oz) with a
• max cash drawdown of ~$10M and
• free cash flow of ~$50M using the forward gold price of
$4,600oz.

• Opportunities to improve financials:
• Add shallow ounces within and as extensions from the
existing planned pit
• Additional ounces from a historical heap leach within the
planned pit
• A second pit at Popeye or other granted mining lease

Gifford Creek Nb-REE Carbonatite Complex
Significant Critical Metal Potential
• The Gifford Creek Carbonatite Complex with its
associated ironstones is one of the largest carbonatite
complexes in the world.
• Wide spaced drilling over ~25% of the ~17km long
Gifford Creek Carbonatite has already identified multiple
zones of critical metal (rare earth, niobium, titanium,
phosphate and scandium) mineralisation. This makes for a
critical mineral mix of co-products
Proven Rare Earth Mineralisation
• 29.98Mt @ 1.04% TREO at the Yin Ironstone Complex
(87% Measured and Indicated)
• Commercial monazite concentrate and mixed
rare earth carbonates (MREC) created
• 10.84Mt @ 1.00% TREO and 0.22% Nb2O5 at C3 (100%
Inferred)
Proven Niobium Mineralisation
• Close to existing and shared infrastructure
• Multiple zones of mineralisation already identified
• Mineralogical test work confirms key commercial mineral
pyrochlore across Stinger
