Previous report
● We continue systematic exploration investigations at our highly prospective Keystone Project looking for potential drill targets. We conducted a hyperspectral survey on the property identifying evidence of potential mineralization. Numerous anomalies often associated with mineralization were identified. Field investigation of the most prospective anomalies was completed during the 2023 field season. Altered sedimentary outcrops containing anomalous gold grades were discovered which require additional investigation.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, we focused primarily on advancing our CK Gold Project in Wyoming with the approval of two major permits; our surface gold mine permit (mine operation and reclamation plan (“MOP”)) approved April 2024 and an Industrial Siting permit for the construction and operation of our CK Gold project approved May 2023, and continued engineering studies towards the completion of a revised prefeasibility study and feasibility study. Additional exploration and geologic investigations were undertaken, enhancing our understanding of the Keystone Project deposit in Nevada and continued analysis of the historic geological data on the Challis Gold Project in Idaho. Management focused on investor relations and awareness, resulting in the completion of an equity financing in April 2024.
