Golden Dome Project

Located in Sierra County, California, within the Antelope Valley—a well-established gold-producing district.
Hosts a historical resource of approximately 1.5 million tons at 0.067 oz/ton gold (~100,000 oz Au), defined by Hecla Mining in the early 1990s.
Additional higher-grade core estimated at 1.3 million tons grading 0.074 oz/ton gold, suggesting potential for selective open-pit mining .
Gold mineralization is associated with vuggy silica–alunite–pyrite alteration within a northwest-trending epithermal vein system, typical of high-sulfidation deposits in the Southern Ancestral Cascade Arc .
Historically advanced by Tenneco Minerals, which outlined plans for a 30,000–40,000 oz/year open-pit operation prior to divestment .
Represents a bulk-mineable, near-surface gold system with expansion potential at depth, given shallow-angle drilling geometry from previous operators

Regional Context

The Golden Dome Project lies within the Antelope Valley Volcanic Center of northern California, a region known for epithermal gold systems associated with volcanic activity along the ancestral Cascade arc. This setting has proven highly prospective for gold-silver mineralization, with similar alteration and mineral assemblages found in productive high-sulfidation deposits across the western United States.

Geology and Mineralization

Gold occurs in a vuggy silica-alunite-pyrite vein system, with ore minerals including pyrite and enargite, accompanied by secondary copper oxides. Mineralization is primarily hosted in altered volcanic rocks with strong silica and alunite alteration halos, suggesting a well-preserved epithermal environment. The presence of both gold and silver indicates a polymetallic system with potential for broader resource development

Historical Information and Exploration Context

The mineral properties comprising the Company’s portfolio have been the subject of extensive historical exploration, development work, and, in several cases, past commercial production or advanced-stage evaluations with the intent to commence mining. The historical exploration results, samplixng, drilling, resource estimates, and other technical information referenced herein were completed prior to the adoption of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and do not comply with current NI 43-101 requirements. As a result, such historical information and any historical resource estimates should not be relied upon as current mineral resources or reserves.

The Company has been provided with a compilation of historical data, including non-NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates and sampling results. While this historical information is non-compliant, it is considered highly relevant for exploration targeting, geological interpretation, and the design of modern exploration and evaluation programs.

Management believes that the existence of extensive historical work, past production, and prior feasibility-level evaluations creates a compelling foundation for modern exploration, particularly when reassessed using contemporary geological models, exploration technologies, metallurgical processes, and prevailing commodity prices. However, readers are cautioned that historical results, resources, or economic conclusions cannot be verified or confirmed at this time.

In order to define current mineral resources, assess metallurgy, and evaluate economic viability, the Company will be required to complete confirmation drilling, modern metallurgical studies, updated technical evaluations, and NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimates and feasibility or economic studies. There is no assurance that historical results will be confirmed or that any project will advance to economic viability.
