The Treasure Island project in Central\nNewfoundland covers over 90 km of strike along the Valentine Lake Fault Zone\nin Canada's newest gold district.\n\nCrippleback Lake Anomaly:\n\nLocated in the southern portion of the Treasure Island project and hosted\nwithin the Crippleback intrusive suite (Figure 1), the Crippleback Lake\nanomaly spans 6.5 x 1.0km and forms an electromagnetic resistivity low (Figure\n2).\n\nDrilling in 2024 along the margins of the anomaly identified broad zones of\nclay alteration exceeding 200 m in downhole length, with sulphide contents\nranging from 1% to 8%. The clay alteration and pyrite are interpreted as the\nprimary drivers of the geophysical anomaly.\n\nAlteration mineralogy identified to date includes kaolinite, montmorillonite,\npyrophyllite and muscovite, along with vuggy silica textures. These alteration\nassemblages and textures are key indicators of high-level Epithermal and\nCopper-Porphyry mineral systems.\n\nThe 2026 drilling program aims to further investigate the anomaly at depth and\ntoward its core.\n\nCrippleback Lake Drilling Highlights:\n\nThree drill holes have been completed targeting the Crippleback Lake anomaly.\nDrilling continues to intersect extensive alteration zones across multiple\nlithologies, with consistent sulphide mineralization throughout. Below is a\ngeneral summary of the drilled intervals and alteration sequences:\n* PGC-26-058 targeted the alteration system from the south side of Crippleback\nLake; this hole intersected an interval of vuggy, silicified volcanic rock\nfrom 15 to 137m downhole containing disseminated pyrite and muscovite\nalteration; from 137 to 247m in highly altered quartz monzonite marked by\nchlorite and montmorillonite alteration with pyrite mineralization, this\nincluded a veined zone from 224.5 to 232.0m with locally massive to semi\nmassive pyrite; 247 to 293m intersected a phengite dominated volcanic sequence\nwith disseminated pyrite and locally chalcopyrite; 293 to 395m intersected a\nkaolinite dominated alteration in both volcanic and felsic intrusive rocks\nwith pyrite mineralization including a veined zone from 343.0 to 349.5m\ncontaining semi-massive pyrite mineralization; 395 to 562m intersected a\nvolcanic sequence with muscovite-phengite alteration and disseminated pyrite\nmineralization; 562 to 602m intersected highly silicified monzonite and\nvolcanic sequence containing pyrite as stringers.\n* PGC-26-064 targeted the alteration system from the north side of Crippleback\nLake; this hole intersected quartz monzonite from 0 to 107m depth dominated by\nchlorite alteration and disseminated pyrite mineralization ; from 107 to 197m\ndepth intersected silicified and vuggy volcanic and intrusive sequences with\npyrite as stringers and disseminations dominated by muscovite and kaolinite\nalteration; 197 to 215m intersected heavily clay altered volcanic rocks\ndominated by pyrophyllite with local vuggy segments and pyrite mineralization;\n215 to 295m contained heavily clay altered volcanic rock with vuggy textures\ndominated by muscovite and kaolinite alteration carrying pyrite as\ndisseminations and stringers; 295 to 349m intersected volcanic sequence\nheavily altered with pyrophyllite, pyrite as disseminations; 349 to 438m\nintersected monzonite with phengite and montmorillonite alteration with pyrite\nas semi-massive stringers and disseminations; 438 to 600m intersected\nmonzonite dominated by chloritic alteration, local potassic feldspar\nalteration carrying pyrite and semi-massive pyrite stringers; a fault zone at\n600m bounds further clay alteration from 600 to 690m dominated by muscovite\nand montmorillonite with localized vuggy silica segments, disseminated pyrite\nis common throughout the interval, 690 to 797m encountered relatively fresh\nquartz monzonite with localized mafic dykes.\n* PGC-26-068 was drilled from the same location as PGC-26-058 at a 44° angle\nextending further north into the anomaly; this hole intersected felsic\nvolcanics with muscovite dominated alteration sequences from 12.8 to 175m;\nfelsic volcanic with montmorillonite dominated alteration from 175 to 255m\ndepth; from 255 to 275m a strongly magnetic intrusive unit with semi massive\npyrite and disseminated chalcopyrite; 275 to 326 intersected altered felsic\nvolcanic with chlorite and montmorillonite alterations; 326 to 428m\nintersected largely muscovite dominated felsic volcanics with local silicified\nzones and disseminated pyrite; 428 to 596m intersected felsic volcanics with\nmuscovite alteration, localized gypsum with disseminated pyrite.\nThe Company cautions that the presence of visible mineralization is not\nindicative of high assay grades and that drill core samples have been\nsubmitted to a certified laboratory for analysis. Assay values for the\ndiscussed intervals will be released when available. All intervals are\ndownhole depths, and true widths are not known at this time.\n\n\"With three holes completed testing the Crippleback Lake anomaly, we are\ncontinuing to expand our geological understanding of this system,\" said Greg\nMatheson, VP Exploration. \"It is apparent we have many of the markers of a\nhigh sulphidation epithermal system, including advanced argillic alteration\nand core textures such as vuggy silica. Our current drilling is focused on the\neastern side of the anomaly along strike of PGC-26-068 to better assess the\nscale of alteration. The Crippleback Lake intrusive suite remains an excellent\norogenic gold target with similarities to the nearby Valentine Lake Mine, and\nas we await assay results, one drill has shifted to testing the 35+ km of\nprospective strike along the Valentine Lake Fault.\"\n\n\"Moosehead continues to demonstrate the kind of high-grade vein systems that\ndrive near-term discovery, but Crippleback is a different opportunity\nentirely,\" said Denis Laviolette, Executive Chairman and CEO. \"What we're\nseeing now is scale. Widespread alteration, strong sulphide development, and a\nsystem that is just beginning to take shape.
