• Positive government attitudes toward mining are filtering down to local levels, aiding project advancement.

• Global events (COVID, geopolitical tensions, tariffs) have highlighted the need for European metal supply security.

• Sweden and Norway are positioned to lead in supplying critical metals to Europe.

Hennes Bay project development

• JORC-compliant resource of 55.4 million tons at ~1% copper equivalent, with less than 5% of the tenement drilled.

• Recent and ongoing drilling programs (DP1 completed, DP2 starting) aim to expand the resource and test new anomalies.

• Conceptual studies indicate potential for a 4 million ton per annum underground mine with at least 10 years of production.

• Metallurgical tests show high copper and silver recoveries, producing a clean concentrate suitable for European smelters.

• Five-year plan includes scoping, pre-feasibility, feasibility studies, and permitting to reach construction readiness.
