Description:

The Quinn Fluorspar Project is a proposed critical minerals exploration program in Nevada where the project targets high-grade fluorspar mineralization across a series of historically identified prospects, including Horseshoe, Big Jim, Mammoth and surrounding mineralized areas. Fluorspar is a US designated critical mineral used in the production of hydrofluoric acid, aluminium, steel and other advanced industrial and defence applications.

The proposed exploration program includes up to 96 drill pads supporting approximately 17,500 meters of drilling. The drilling is designed to evaluate the lateral and depth extensions of known mineralization and support the definition of a mineral resource. Associated activities include bulk sampling to support metallurgical testwork.

A permitting timetable will be posted on or before November 20, 2026.
