Property Description and Technical Insights

The property comprises four non-contiguous claim blocks, covering approximately 9161.84 hectares, and features a significant length, extending 47 km east-west.
Geological Significance
The regional geology consists of an Archean volcano-sedimentary assemblage, complemented by historical mining properties that underline the area's gold endowment. Previous exploration activities have identified various types of gold mineralization indicative of a rich geological setting.
Exploration Activities and Findings
Limited till sampling conducted from 2021 to 2023 has revealed several gold-in-till anomalies linked to known mineralization occurrences. However, it remains uncertain if further exploration will delineate any targets as mineral resources.

This funding is anticipated to bolster the Company's operational capabilities, with shares and units to be issued as part of this financing process.
Details of the Financing
The financing structure includes hard dollar and flow-through financings, with each Unit expected to encompass one common share and half of one common share purchase warrant. The expected closing for these offerings is anticipated in late September 2024, subject to necessary approvals.
Settlements and Debt Management
In conjunction with the Acquisition, O2Gold has reached a settlement agreement with Q-Gold Resources Ltd. to resolve outstanding loan amounts via the issuance of 7,000,000 common shares. This financial maneuver highlights the Company's strategic approach to debt management while accommodating its growth initiatives.
