Rokmaster Samples 657.0 g/t Ag and 11.46% Zn on the Selkirk Project
The 5,276 hectare Keystone Property is underlain by early Paleozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Index Formation. The northern extension of the mapped Akolkolex Thrust fault occurs within and proximal to the property, providing potential for orogenic-style gold mineralization. During one of the Company's first visits to the Keystone Property in 2021, a historical trench was found which exposes arsenopyrite mineralization grading 4.51 g/t Au, 274 g/t Ag, and 2.92% Zn in a grab sample. Replacement and vein-hosted sphalerite and galena mineralization has been discovered throughout the large property during later field work programs collecting grab samples (Figure 2). The 2024 field work found further high-grade silver, lead, and zinc mineralization with grab samples in two new areas of the property, termed the Western and Eastern Expansion areas, where zones of dense quartz-galena-sphalerite veining is hosted in deformed dolostone.

The 299 hectare Rift Property hosts the Rift Showing where grab samples collected in 2022 assayed up to 35.25% Zn, 8.60% Pb from a stratabound massive sphalerite-galena horizon in pelitic schist. The sulphide mineralization averages 1.0 metre in thickness and is exposed for approximately 25 metres of strike length in the incised creek gully of
The third property which was not visited in 2024 but there are plans to return in 2025 is the 1,367 hectare Downie Gold Property which covers a package of Index and Aklolkolex Formation rocks situated between the Goldstream Pluton and Long Creek Stock. The property hosts elevated gold in massive pyrrhotite-pyrite-galena mineralization associated with discordant stockwork veins and silicification in limestone rocks at the
