Fondaway Canyon's PEA Metrics and Mineral Resource Estimate

Getchell's Fondaway Canyon project in Nevada is the primary driver of the investment thesis. The project's Preliminary Economic Assessment outlines a US$1 billion pre-tax net present value within an open-pit mining operation, with projected average production of 150,000 ounces of gold per year over an estimated 10-year mine life. The mineral resource comprises 999,000 indicated ounces of gold at 1.40 g/t and 1.812 million inferred ounces at 1.24 g/t, with the resource remaining open to expansion. Investors should note that mineral resources are not mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that PEA results will be realised.

Buzbuzian Capital's Strategic Rationale for a Nevada Gold Footprint

Buzbuzian Capital Corp., a Toronto-based Canadian family office focused on public and pre-IPO resource and technology companies, cited current gold market strength and Fondaway Canyon's project metrics as central to its decision. CEO Richard Buzbuzian stated in the release that Fondaway Canyon "stands out even among its impressive Nevada neighbors" and described the jurisdiction as a premier tier-one destination for the firm. The company stated it is eager to establish a footprint in Nevada and views the asset as large-scale and premier in nature, according to the announcement.
