- Snowline purchases 92 long-held mineral claims (approximately 1,920 ha) making up 10 targeted claim blocks within and nearby to its Rogue Job
- Claims consist of historic drill crossway of 2.1 g/t Au over 96.0 m from within poly-phase granodiorite “Reid” invasion 8 km east of Snowline’s Valley discovery, and on pattern with the Gracie target
- Extra targets with appealing historic drill and surface area tasting results throughout obtained portfolio strengthen Snowline’s position in the district and emphasize wider capacity of the Rogue Plutonic Complex.
Table 1 – Historic diamond drill highlights reported in 1996 from the Reid target. These outcomes have actually not been straight validated by the Business however are thought to be normally a sign of the capacity for gold endowment at the target, especially provided anomalous gold in neighboring talus fines tested by the Business and provided the shown fertility of the Valley invasion 8 km to the west of Reid. * Drilled widths reported, real widths not identified.
” This acquisition is a substantial action in the shift of Snowline’s Rogue Job from a discovery to a district,” stated Scott Berdahl, CEO & & Director of Snowline. “We are delighted to check out the Reid target as a part of our 2023 drill project at Rogue. The historic arise from the 1996 drilling supply strong extra proof of the gold capacity of the Reid invasion and of the numerous other intrusion-related gold targets on our Rogue Job beyond our Valley discovery. This claim plan covers a first-mover land position based upon early expedition efforts in the location. Along with the highly anomalous gold worths from local stream sediment geochemistry samples draining pipes numerous parts of the Rogue Plutonic Complex, these historic outcomes were an essential attract attracting our preliminary attention to Rogue. The Valley discovery has actually given that revealed that the required elements exist at Rogue to produce considerable bulk-tonnage gold systems with abnormally high grades for the RIRGS deposit type. We are enjoyed bring this collection of targets into the fold, and to provide our investors a lot more direct exposure to the special expedition capacity of the Yukon’s latest gold district.”
Figure 1 – The Rogue Plutonic Complex (red), revealing Snowline Gold’s freshly obtained claims (yellow squares) versus the Business’s pre-existing Rogue Job (medium blue). Emphasize historic samples kept in mind herein have actually not been validated by the Business, however they supply proof for the basic gold endowment of the wider Rogue Job location. Get samples are selective in nature and do not always represent bulk tonnage grades. Disappointed are 30 “WEAS” claims, covering an invasion some 26 km to the south (Figure 3).
On behalf of the suppliers of the claims, Anthony Beruschi included: “Congratulations to the Snowline group on their terrific gold discovery at the Rogue task, where ability and effort have actually caused expedition success. In my view the Yukon is the very best location worldwide for explorers. I consider it an advantage to include our mineral claims, with their exceptional historic drill outcomes, to Snowline’s excellent land plan. I eagerly anticipate the awareness of this chance with many advantages for the Yukon and its individuals.”
REID
The freshly obtained Reid declares cover an exposed lowered invasion nearby to an open, 1 x 1 km gold-in-soil-and-talus-fine anomaly defined by Snowline through surface area tasting (Figure 2). Constant with the surface area geochemical abnormalities at the Rogue Job’s nearby Valley and Gracie targets, the Reid abnormality is matched by anomalous bismuth and tellurium worths that associate well with anomalous gold worths. Follow up mapping by Snowline workers validated previously observations of sheeted quartz veins near the margin of the invasion, oriented parallel to mineralized veins present at Valley and Gracie. Sixteen grab samples of quartz vein product from throughout an open, 450 x 600 m location within the abnormality varied in grade from 0.2 g/t Au to 8.0 g/t Au.
Figure 2 – Strategy map of the Reid and Gracie targets, with historic drill collar websites from drilling at Reid (sky blue) and Snowline’s 2022 Stage I drilling at Gracie (red) AS-96-03 is collared downslope from AS-96-02, and hence the holes do not substantially overlap one another. While the historic drill outcomes have actually not been validated by the Business, the scale of the associated soil and talus fine anomaly tested by Snowline and the level of mineralization observed throughout subsequent mapping supply extra proof for a substantial lowered intrusion-relation gold system at Reid.
Instantly south of the 1×1 km abnormality, the Reid invasion is a 1-kilometer scale granodiorite body accountable for regional hornfels change on the eastern end of an approximately 9 km pattern of comparable change that extends from the Rogue Job’s Valley discovery in the west and consists of the Gracie target in between (Figure 1), recommending prospective for a passage of associated invasions with shown gold fertility.
Historic surface area tasting and drilling show the existence of gold mineralization connected with the Reid invasion, especially along its northern margin. 3 diamond drill holes amounting to 1,253 m were drilled in 1996. Samples from holes AS-96-01 and AS-96-02 returned anomalous however most likely subeconomic gold grades, whereas hole AS-96-03 reported a 234.7 m period of sheeted veins within the invasion balancing 0.94 g/t Au, consisting of 96.0 m at 2.09 g/t Au. These periods are affected by 2 1.5 m crossways balancing 76.9 g/t Au and 26.7 g/t Au respectively (Table 1). They however show prospective for the existence of fertile lowered intrusion-related gold system at Reid, especially in the context of the neighboring Valley discovery.
Historic descriptions of the Reid drill core parallel observations made in drilling the Rogue Job’s Valley discovery. Significantly, numerous stages of invasion are explained – at Valley, numerous stages of the invasion define the greatest zone of mineralization discovered to date. Likewise, at Reid, reported observations of noticeable gold in AS-96-03 are connected with bismuthinite in quartz veins. At Valley and Gracie, bismuth and tellurium minerals (consisting of bismuthinite) in quartz are crucial indications for the existence of gold, and this is a finger print of the RIRGS deposit design.
The Business is presently preparing for a 3-hole, Stage I drill program at Reid, amounting to approximately 1,000 m.
CUJO
The Cujo target covers a lengthen, 1 x 2 km invasion at the west end of the Rogue Plutonic Complex (Figure 1). A historic drill program of 6 holes (overall metres unidentified) is reported to have actually been performed in 1996 near the eastern edge of the invasion, with a period of 1.0 g/t Au over 13.6 m (real width unknown) referenced in subsequent reports. The Business has actually not had the ability to find the initial report explaining this drilling, however the period is reported in the Yukon Geological Study’s 1996 Yukon Expedition and Geology (YEG) yearly report. Fieldwork by Snowline workers in the area of the claims yielded a grab sample of 63.8 g/t Au from hornfels metasedimentary rocks connected with the invasion.
WEAS
The 30-claim (627 ha) WEAS home lies south of the Rogue Plutonic Complex, midway in between Snowline’s Cynthia and Olympus tasks (Figure 3). Historic deal with the home reported gold-bearing sheeted quartz veins within an exposed, 3 km by 2 km invasion. Drilling in 1996 (5 holes, 1,280 m) is reported in the very same 1996 YEG report to have actually converged 1.0 g/t Au throughout 21 m (real width unknown) connected with the sheeted veins, in addition to surface area grab samples of approximately 20.1 g/t Au. The home is main to a bigger claim block owned indirectly by HighGold Mining Inc., which presently in the procedure of drawing out those claims into a brand-new business, Onyx Gold Corp.
The Business warns that none of the historic outcomes, consisting of drill outcomes, on the freshly obtained claims have actually been validated. Assay techniques and tasting strategies are not revealed in the historic reports, and when it comes to drilling on the Cujo and WEAS targets, the Business has actually just had the ability to find indirect referrals to the outcomes, however no main source. Historic outcomes talked about herein exist more normally as an indicator of the local capacity of the Rogue Plutonic Complex to host extra lowered intrusion-related gold systems.

Emphasize historic samples kept in mind herein have actually not been validated by the Business, however they supply proof for the basic gold endowment of the claims. Get samples are selective in nature and do not always represent bulk tonnage grades.
ACQUISITION TERMS
The Business has actually participated in an arrangement with arm’s length celebrations RST Klondike Discoveries Ltd. and Whistler Minerals Corp. (together, the “Vendors”), where the Business has actually obtained 92 mineral claims in exchange for (i) the payment of $1,000,000 in money (the “Money Factor To Consider”) and (ii) the issuance of 200,000 warrants (the “Warrant Factor To Consider”), each for purchase of a single typical share of the Business at a cost of $3.50 for a duration of 2 years (the “Acquisition”). The Warrants undergo a hold duration of 4 months and one day from the closing of the Acquisition, in accordance with appropriate Canadian securities laws, ending on October 1, 2023. The Vendors will keep a 1.0% NSR on the claims and will be entitled to approximately 2 reward payments of $1M each if a determined or shown mineral resource of >> 1 million ounces of gold is revealed in compliance with NI 43-101 requirements on particular claims.
ABOUT ROGUE
The Valley Zone on Snowline’s flagship Rogue Job is a recently found, bulk tonnage design, lowered intrusion-related gold system (RIRGS), with geological resemblances to multi-million-ounce deposits presently in production such as Kinross’s Fort Knox Mine in Alaska and Victoria Gold’s Eagle Mine in the Yukon. Early drill outcomes show abnormally high gold grades for such a system, present near surface area throughout drill crossways of numerous metres. Gold is connected with bismuthinite and telluride minerals hosted in sheeted quartz vein varieties within and along the margins of a one-kilometer-scale, mid-Cretaceous aged Mayo-series invasion. Valley is an early-stage expedition task without a resource quote, and while preliminary outcomes are motivating, the existence or lack of a financially practical orebody can not be identified up until extra work is finished.
The Rogue Job location hosts numerous invasions comparable to Valley in addition to extensive gold anomalism in stream sediment, soil and rock samples. Somewhere else, RIRGS deposits are understood to take place in clusters. The Rogue Job is hence thought about by the Business to have district-scale capacity for extra lowered intrusion-related gold systems.
