“I’m thrilled to be back working on the Pt.

The Pt. Leamington Project includes Mining Lease 136 (2655) and is situated in central Newfoundland, approximately 37 kilometers from Grand Falls-Windsor and 20 kilometers from the provincial power grid. Callinex has outlined significant mineral resources at the site, with an indicated mineral resource of 5.0 million tonnes grading 2.5 g/t AuEq, translating into 402,000 AuEq ounces. Additionally, there is an inferred resource of 13.7 million tonnes at a grade of 2.24 g/t AuEq, amounting to an impressive 986,500 AuEq ounces.
This deposit is characterized as a robust, felsic-hosted VMS deposit with a westward dip of 70 degrees and an impressive strike length of up to 500 meters. Drilling has confirmed massive sulphides extending to a depth of 360 meters below the surface across 21,714 meters in 72 drill holes. Government surveys and lithogeochemical analyses have indicated that the volcanic stratigraphy hosting the Pt. Leamington Deposit has characteristics that extend beyond the immediate area, reinforcing its potential.
Acquisition of a Mineral License
In an additional development, Callinex has established an agreement with RDF Consulting Ltd. for the acquisition of a mineral license adjacent to the Pt. Leamington Project. In exchange for this mineral license, which consists of 5 claims, Callinex will issue 50,000 common shares to RDF Consulting Ltd. A four-month hold period will be applied to the shares issued.
