The road accessible Mystery Property is one component of Rokmaster's Nechako Project which is targeting significant copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry deposits and high grade gold-silver epithermal mineralization in west-central British Columbia. The region is host to excellent infrastructure and multiple active exploration programs, noted in Figure 1.

The 12,193 hectare Mystery Property is situated over the Shelford Hills, a circular uplifted volcanic block exposing Cretaceous Kasalka Group volcanic rocks intruded by a stock of porphyritic monzonite belonging to the Late Cretaceous Bulkley Plutonic Suite (Figure 2). The Bulkley Plutonic Suite hosts the calc-alkalic porphyry Cu-Mo mineralization at the nearby Huckleberry, Ox, and Seel deposits.

Samples were collected from the Mystery Property during two field work programs in May and June of 2024. Quartz vein breccia was discovered approximately 900 m south of the Breccia Zone and returned up to 5.22[1] g/t Au and 388 g/t Ag in grab samples. This discovery of epithermal quartz veins hosting gold and silver mineralization is highly positive when targeting a porphyry environment and adds to the widespread occurrences of anomalous copper, gold, molybdenum across the Mystery Property.

Soil sampling work in 2024 confirmed the 900x700 meter north-central copper in soil anomaly and extended it to the north by 300 m. Crews observed that nearly the entirety of the Mystery Property was recently burned by a large forest fire, providing for a significant access and outcrop exposure advantage over previous operators such as Kennco, BP-Selco, Canamax, and Noranda (Figure 3).

John Mirko, President and CEO, comments:

"These early-stage results from the Mystery Property are encouraging especially when considering they were generated during two limited initial field work programs completed in the spring. The confirmation and extension of the central soil anomaly is in an area which was held by private interests for many years, including those when the Property was heavily vegetated. The discovery of high grade gold and silver mineralization south of the Breccia Zone is a testament to the underexplored nature of the Mystery Property and we are excited to return for more investigation. "

¹ Samples were prepared and analyzed by Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd (BV) in Vancouver BC. After preparation, samples were analyzed for 37 elements including Au by aqua regia digestion of a 15 g sample with ICP-ES/MS finish (BV method AQ201). Samples >25 g/t Ag and >10,000 ppm Pb were re-analyzed by an ore grade aqua regia digestion method with an ICP-ES finish (BV method AR374).
