    Note:
    'Confirm the presence of a high-grade,structurally controlled precious metals system' lacks an MRE. Page 1's 'grab' and 'sample' lack a sample type (outcrop, float). 'Surface expression spans' lacks sample spacing. 'Visible native gold', 'up to', 'presence of associated copper, lead, zinc, and tungsten', 'high-grade gold-silver tenor', and Figures 3 & 4 lack assay values or ranges. Figure 1 lacks 'rock' sample type (outcrop, float). 'Mapping and magnetics surveys suggesting' lacks metrics. Sample weight, prep sieve size, assay weights, and QA/QC verification results are missing.

    News Release

    Announces plans to prepare a Mineral Resource Estimate for the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Project, Hixon, BC

    Note:
    'Recorded production' lacks Au g/t per cubic metre. 'Shows strong similarities' lacks metrics.

    News Release

    Note:
    'Up to' lacks assay values or ranges. 2024 drilling interval lacks 'from' distances. Rock lacks sample type (outcrop, float). Sample weight, core size, sample length, true width, collar table, prep & assay method, and a QA/QC description are missing.

    News Release


    Mayo Lake Minerals Inc.

    Releases soil assay and airborne magnetic geophysical survey results for the Dawn Gulch Au Project, Mayo, YT, Na-Cho Nyäk

    Note:
    'Presence of an alteration halo', 'broad', 'some other metals', 'multitude', 'broad', 'thinnish', 'very low', 'long', 'high-quality', 'strong', and 'same footprint and similar characteristics' lack metrics. 'Extensive buried mineral deposit' lacks an MRE. 'Elevated', 'anomalous', 'enhanced', 'high', 'mineralized soil zones', 'gold values', 'up to', and 'mineralization' lack assay values or ranges. 'Magnetic low' lacks intensity values or ranges. 'Open' lacks geological context. Soil horizon, soil sample depth, soil sample spacing, soil interpolation method, geophysical survey parameters, 'Linear Structure - Veins Mineralized Zones' methodology, QA/QC insertion rate, and QA/QC verification results are missing. Figures 4 & 5 lack a geophysical legend. 'Strong SGH redox cell is indicative of a robust buried metal deposit. The SGH results for gold indicate that the gold is present at depth.' - SGH is a vectoring tool that can highlight redox cells that are potentially related to buried mineralization, but it is not a direct detector of metal grades or an ore-body and its geometry. 'Linear Structure - Veins Mineralized Zones' - appear to be geochemical trends which may or may not correspond to continuous mineralized structures like veins.

A tentative agreement was reached through mediation on October 26, 2025. This resulted in 41 days (including weekends and holidays) and likely resulted in a significant backlog of administrative activities and professional evaluations.
