RESULTS REPORTED FOR DEFINITION DRILLING AT AURMAC GOLD PROJECT, YUKON
Eagle Royalties Ltd. has provided an update on encouraging drill hole intercepts, including visible gold, at the AurMac project in central Yukon in a recent public announcement made by Banyan Gold Corp. on Nov. 4, 2024. Banyan earlier announced results for AurMac in a news release issued Sept. 5, 2024. Eagle Royalties holds royalty interests ranging from 0.5 per cent to 2.0 per cent on certain claims that comprise a portion of the AurMac project.
According to the announcements, Banyan has reported results for 13 holes that appear to be drilled in the Powerline resource area on mineral claims subject to a 1-per-cent net smelter return royalty held by Eagle Royalties. The reported results for the 13 holes are as follows.

The technical information relating to drill collar location and analytical results has been taken directly from the Banyan Gold news releases dated Sept. 5, 2024, and Nov. 4, 2024. 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 co-ordinates are accurate, it cautions that Eagle Royalties 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 Eagle Royalties royalty interests.
As reported by Banyan, the company initiated its 2024 exploration program on June 1, 2024, and has completed 118 drill holes and over 21,000 metres of drilling within the Powerline and Airstrip deposit areas. Drilling was completed in mid-October and core continues to be logged and processed.
On Sept. 16, 2024, Banyan reported test recoveries of 93 per cent in samples at Powerline and 90 per cent 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 continuing for flotation leach.
Banyan further reported on Oct. 1, 2024, that it had contracted Geotech Ltd. to conduct a helicopter-supported Z-axis tipper electromagnetic (ZTEM) geophysical survey over a 234-square-kilometre area on the AurMac project, which was to include the Powerline and Airstrip deposit areas. Results from this survey have not been publicly released.
As a royaltyholder, 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.
