• The Big Mac gold project consists of 12 mineral claims structured into three tenure blocks. The district-scale project comprises a total of approximately 9,264 hectares (about 22,881 acres). The project offers close proximity to the Essay Creek access road and the newly constructed Alta Gas McLymont hydropower facility.

• The Big Mac gold project also represents the largest claim package contiguous with Aben Resources’ Forrest Kerr gold project which recently disclosed drill results indicating multiple high-grade zones including 62.4 g/t gold over 6.0m within 38.7 g/t gold over 10.0m at its Forrest Kerr project (source: Aben Resources website).

• The specific location of the Big Mac gold project is of interest as it not only surrounds much of the Forrest Kerr gold project being advanced by Aben Resources, but it also contains significant tenure held in the past by Barrick Gold.
