CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 3, 2025 / Eagle Royalties Ltd. ("ER.CN":CSE, or "Eagle Royalties") has recently learned of the commencement of a 30,000m diamond drill program at Banyan Gold Corp.'s AurMac project in central Yukon (see March 27 th BYN news release here). Eagle Royalties holds royalty interests ranging from 0.5% to 2% (with no buy-down provision) on numerous claims underlying the Airstrip and Powerline inferred resource areas (wholly or partially) as defined by Banyan.

According to the recent announcement, Banyan intends to focus on further expansion and definition of mineralized zones in the Airstrip and Powerline areas; defining areas of higher grade, particularly near surface (<100m); and testing proximal and distal targets identified through soil geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys.
As reported by Banyan, the company completed 118 drill-holes and over 21,000 m of drilling within the Powerline and Airstrip deposit areas, reporting significant drill results in the Airstrip area in drill hole AX-24-590 where 15.9 m graded 9.32 g/t gold, including 3.7 m of 33.43 g/t gold and 13.8 m of 3.81 g/t gold from 77.9m depth. Drilling from 2024 at the Powerline deposit resulted in 16 drill holes with intersection greater than 50 gram-metres, including AX-24-540 which intersected 23.1 m of 5.68 g/t gold from 159.3 m, including 0.2 m of 539.3 g/t gold (see March 3rd, 2025 news release here).

The above technical information relating to drill collar location and analytical results have been taken directly from Banyan Gold news releases. More detailed drilling information, analytical procedures and results are available in the full news releases issued by Banyan. Eagle Royalties management believes that although the reported true thickness estimates and drill collar location coordinates are accurate, it cautions that ER does not have detailed geological data or final surveyed locations of the drill hole traces in relation to the claims that are underlain by the ER royalty interests.
On September 16th 2024 Banyan reported test recoveries of 93% in samples at Powerline and 90% at Airstrip using multiple conventional mill processing options including gravity recovery in combination with Carbon in Leach ("CIL")/Carbon in Pulp ("CIP") processes, and that work is ongoing for flotation-leach (see complete BYN news release here).
As a royalty holder, Eagle Royalties has limited, if any, access to the properties subject to its interests. The company generally relies on publicly available information regarding these properties and related operations and often has no ability to independently verify such information. In addition, such publicly available information may relate to a larger property area than that covered by the company's interests.
