DISCUSSION

The Rowan Vein System has been the main focus of many of the exploration on the Property for the reason that preliminary discovery of 4 sub-parallel slender veins on floor at Discovery (NASDAQ:) Hill. Since then, these veins have been drifted upon from underground on three ranges and extensively drilled, together with 62 drill holes for 20,211.4m in 2023. The drilling accomplished on the Rowan Mine deposit in 2023 centered on validating historic information throughout the Inferred Useful resource, and in addition infilling obvious gaps within the analytical information set which was a product of very selective sampling methods carried out throughout earlier drilling campaigns.       The general deposit consists of quite a few, slender, high-grade quartz veins that outline an east-northeast trending hall, roughly 150 m extensive. This hall primarily transects the decrease mafic to intermediate metavolcanic models of the Ball (NYSE:) assemblage within the hinge of the property scale antiform and seems to dissipate as soon as it intersects the unconformity with the metasedimentary Slate Bay assemblage to the east (Determine 2).

The very best gold grades typically happen when coarse and visual native gold is current. This happens inside distinct 10 cm to 30 cm as much as a metre of bluish to gray, glassy quartz veins/stringer zones. Not often do these particular person veins exceed 60 cm extensive with alteration halos tending to be localized. Broad zones of diffuse silicification have typically not been discovered. Hint to 1% pyrite and pyrrhotite is widespread inside these veins/stringers. Much less widespread however a greater optimistic indicator of gold grade is the prevalence of sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite, and chalcopyrite. Usually complete sulphides make up lower than 2%. Metallurgical assessments point out beneficial restoration traits.

The earlier interpretation of the Rowan Vein System (Kita, 2022) was that the veins have been emplaced after D2 and have been primarily undeformed and extremely steady over a whole bunch of meters. Such an interpretation was supported by the consistency of a number of slender vein occurrences in drillholes spanning lengthy strike lengths. With the good thing about a tighter drill spacing and oriented core following the 2023 WRLG drill campaigns, this interpretation is now not tenable. Strictly planar vein continuity may now not be demonstrated since east-west trending veins appeared to line up alongside east-northeast developments. Such an association requires lengthy trains of minor folds, and transposition into the dominant cloth. That is additional supported by: (i) strongly recrystallized textures within the quartz veins, (ii) dominant parallelism with the robust penetrative S2 foliation, (iii) the great-circle distribution of poles to foliation as measured in oriented core, and (iv) domestically noticed minor folds, exhibiting that the veins are overprinted by the robust ductile D2 deformation.  

Modelling such advanced geological shapes as transposed veins programs will be achieved utilizing implicit strategies in Leapfrog offered sufficient intently spaced information are current to seize the variability of the deformed vein geometries. This methodology is getting used efficiently on the Madsen mine the place drill spacing is predominantly six meters or much less. At Rowan, the drill spacing is just not practically as tight, however nonetheless tight sufficient to provide geologically believable representations of the transposed vein geometries. Sadly, as a result of wider drill spacing in some areas, the implicit shapes couldn’t be adequately managed for unsupported ˜blowouts’, which may result in unreasonably inflated tonnage estimates. Because of this, and to attenuate dilution within the mannequin, the implicit shapes have been used solely as a information for manually constructed vein fashions, utilizing the vein modelling instrument in Leapfrog. This method allowed the development of extra tightly managed shapes that seize the structural type of the vein system but stay optimized to be used in useful resource estimation.  

The result’s a way more practical mannequin of the vein system that agrees with the structural observations on the deposit and core scales, and that aligns with the structural setting and controls seen at different deposits throughout the belt, reminiscent of on the Madsen and Purple Lake mines.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL

Drilling accomplished on the Rowan Property consists of oriented NQ-sized diamond drill core. All drill holes are systematically logged, photographed, and sampled by a educated geologist at WRLG’s Mt. Jamie core processing facility. Minimal allowable pattern size is 0.5m. Most allowable pattern size is 1.5m. Normal reference supplies and blanks are inserted at a focused 5% insertion fee. The drill core is then lower lengthwise using a diamond blade core noticed alongside a line pre-selected by the geologist. To scale back sampling bias, the identical aspect of drill core is sampled constantly using the orientation line as reference. For these samples containing seen gold (VG), a educated geologist supervises the slicing/bagging of these samples, and ensures the core noticed blade is ˜cleaned’ with a dressing stone following the VG pattern interval. Bagged samples are then sealed with zip ties and transported by WRLG personnel on to SGS Pure Useful resource’s Facility in Purple Lake, Ontario for assay.

Samples are then prepped by SGS, which consists of drying at 105 °C and crushing to 75% passing 2mm. A riffle splitter is then utilized to provide a 500g course reject for archive. The rest of the pattern is then pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns from which 50g is analyzed by fireplace assay and an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) end. Samples returning gold values > 10 g/t Au are reanalyzed by fireplace assay with a gravimetric end on a 50g pattern. Samples with seen gold are additionally analyzed by way of metallic display evaluation (SGS code: GO_FAS50M). For multi-element evaluation, samples are despatched to SGS’s facility in Burnaby, British Columbia and analyzed by way of four-acid digest with an atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) end for 33-element evaluation on 0.25g pattern pulps (SGS code: GE_ICP40Q12). SGS Pure Sources analytical laboratories operates below a High quality Administration System that complies with ISO/IEC 17025.

West Purple Lake Gold’s Rowan Property presently hosts a Nationwide Instrument 43-101 “ Requirements of Disclosure for Mineral Initiatives (NI 43-101) Indicated Mineral Useful resource of 473,974 t at a mean grade of 12.87 g/t Au containing 196,120 ounces of gold, and an Inferred Mineral Useful resource of 379,571 t at and common grade of 8.49 g/t Au, with a cut-off grade of three.8 g/t Au (as set out within the Technical Report).. The Indicated and Inferred Mineral Sources are positioned within the space of the historic underground Rowan Mine web site and located inside a 1.8 km strike size portion of the regional scale Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone.  

For a greater understanding of the Rowan deposit, readers are inspired to learn the Technical Report and different public disclosure of the Firm, together with all {qualifications}, assumptions, exclusions and dangers that relate to the Mineral Useful resource and Mineral Reserve estimates.
