Macdonald Mines Exploration Ltd. Announces A Drilling Program At Its Spj Project MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. announced a drilling program that will begin in January 2025 on MacDonald Mines 100% owned SPJ Project, near Sudbury, Ontario. The 2025 drilling program, planned in collaboration with Canuc Resources Corporation, consists of approximately 800 m of drilling that will target the lenses of gold mineralization associated with the North Pit of the Scadding Gold Deposit located on the SPJ Project. In December of 2024 Canuc and MacDonald signed a letter of intent whereby Canuc intends to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of MacDonald Mines. The objective of the drilling program is to confirm the historically reported tenors for the gold mineralization zones of the North Pit area of the Scadding Gold Deposit and to find extensions to the known zones of gold mineralization at depth. The mineralized zones of the North Pit are being evaluated as potential source material for the Scadding Tailings reprocessing being undertaken by Environmental Tailings Corporation. An agreement between ETC and MacDonald for the reprocessing and reclamation of the Scadding Tailings was announced on November 15, 2022. This drilling program is intended to mark a first step towards the estimation of a mineral resource for the gold zones of the North Pit of the Scadding Gold Deposit. Future exploration programs on the SPJ property will be designed to the test the potential of the McLaren Fault Zone to host significant zones of iron-rich copper-gold mineralization affiliated with iron oxide-copper-gold deposits in the Alwyn area. This follows from the encouraging results and the subsequent interpretations of the 2023 drilling program. Contingent on positive results from the drilling program, future exploration will also continue to test the zones of mineralization of the North Pit of the Scadding Gold Deposit in preparation of a mineral resource estimation.

MacDonald Mines Completes Drilling at Alwyn Cu-Au and Glade Au Trends Observes Visible Gold at Glade MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. provide an update on the spring drill program undertaken at the Alwyn copper-gold trend and the Glade gold trend on its 100% owned SPJ Property in Sudbury, Ontario. Summary of Drill Program: On June 28, 2023 the Company completed 1,206 meters of oriented diamond drilling, including 954 meters of drilling at the Alwyn Cu-Au trend and 252 meters of drilling at the Glade Au trend. Intersection of a broad and near-surface potential zone of gold mineralization at Glade. Visible gold in quartz-carbonate-chlorite veining identified periodically over 40 meters in hole AG-23-111. This zone is located 20 to 60 meters away from intercepts identified in 2021 drilling in hole AG-21-097. This area has been selected for rush assay analysis and drill core will be sent shortly. Extension of possible PGM mineralization at depth. Disseminations of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite occurs in Nipissing diabase and within quartz-carbonate veins between 128 to 149 meters and 212 to 222 meters in hole AG-23-111. Comparable sulfide assemblage was associated with PGM mineralization in hole AG-22-103, 45 meters northeast. Hydrothermal iron enrichments observed in drilling 300 meters southeast of historic Alwyn mine . Stringers to zones of semi-pervasive replacement of sedimentary textures by magnetite and/or Fe-rich chlorite, as well as veinlets of K-feldspar-chlorite-fluorite-chalcopyrite and specular hematite in holes AW-23-109 and AW-23-110 could be suggestive of the presence of iron-rich copper-gold mineralization affiliated with an iron oxide copper-gold (“IOCG”) deposit. Glade Gold Target: 2023 drilling at Glade continues to demonstrate near surface zones of gold mineralization hosted in quartz-carbonate veins, as demonstrated by visible gold found in four locations over 40 meters in hole AG-23-111, at 8.9, 17.9, 28.0 and 51.0 meters. These observations occur approximately 55 meters laterally from the significant intercept measured in 2021 in hole AG-21-097, which consisted of 113 g/t gold over 0.96 meters core length. Gold mineralization and Fe-rich alteration types observed in the Glade Au trend are comparable to the styles observed at the Scadding deposit, located approximately 1 km to the north of Glade. In the Glade Nipissing intrusion, the 2022 drilling program intersected 0.16 g/t Pd over 4.00 meters in hole AG-22-103 with anomalous Cu and Ni within a more mafic domain of the Glade Nipissing intrusion. This was a new observation for the Nipissing diabase in the Glade area, suggesting PGE-Ni-Cu potential for the intrusive unit. Observations of increased pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite between 128 and 149 meters, as well as between 212 and 222 meters in the new drilling from hole AG-23-111 could provide new insights into the variability of PGM’s and size potential for this mineralization. Copper-Gold Mineralization along the McLaren Lake Fault Zone: The MLFZ is emerging as a compelling exploration target for copper-gold and potentially cobalt-gold mineralization. Along the 2.5 km Alwyn Cu-Au trend defined in collaboration with ALS GoldSpot, near-surface copper-gold mineralization is associated with networks of quartz-carbonate veins. The 2023 gravity survey and data from the 2022 and 2023 drilling programs indicate that Cu-Au mineralization can also be associated with iron-rich alteration in the lateral and deeper extensions of the system. Regionally, the MLFZ is highly prospective for critical and precious metals mineralization. In addition to Alwyn, along the MLFZ on the SPJ Project the primary targets include the Ashigami and the Crerar showings, located 4.5 km and 9.5 km southeast of the Alwyn mine, respectively.

Macdonald Mines Exploration Ltd. Commences Drilling At the Alwyn Copper-Gold Trend MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. announced the start of a 1,200 meter drill program along the prospective McLaren Lake Fault Zone ("MLFZ") at the Alwyn Copper-Gold ("Cu-Au") trend ("Alwyn"), as well as the Glade Gold ("Glade") located on MacDonald Mines' 100% owned SPJ Project near Sudbury, Ontario. The Company also reports preliminary mineralogical observations from hole AW-23-106. Mineralogical observations from hole AW- 23-106 support the Alwyn Cu-Au mineralized system's affiliation with metasomatic iron and alkali-calcic ("MIAC") mineral systems capable of forming iron-rich copper-gold mineralization. Chalcopyrite associated with actinolite (Fe-rich amphibole) and andradite garnet (Fe-rich garnet) is interpreted to represent iron seeping into the system to form iron-silicate alteration associated with chalcopyrite mineralization. This suggests a potential for the gravity anomalies detected in the Alwyn Cu-AU trend to represent areas of stronger Fe alteration and to potentially host zones of iron-rich alteration affiliated with iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineralization. Drilling of up to 1,000 meters at the Alwyn Cu-Ai trend commenced on June 8th, 2023, aiming to: Expand the footprints laterally and at depth of the vein networks mineralized in copper and gold identified during the 2022 drilling program and indicated by historical drilling (AFRI 41I10NE0158), Test the association between gravity highs and hydrothermal iron enrichments that could be suggestive of the presence of iron-rich copper-gold Mineralization affiliated with iron oxide copper-gold ("IOCG") mineralization in the Alwyn Cu- Au trend. Drilling integrates new data that supports the extension of copper-gold mineralization outside of the area of the Awlyn Cu-Au trend drilled in 2022 that includes: The results from the 2023 gravity survey and 10 new targets generated by ALS GoldSpot in the Alwyn Cu- au trend, which could expand the size of the Cu-Au mineralized System and confirm the relationship between iron-rich alteration/mineralization and the gravity anomalies and targets identified in collaboration with ALS GoldSpot.

MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. Commences Gravity Survey Along Alwyn Cu-Au Trend Testing the Presence of Iron-Rich Critical Metals Mineralization At Depth MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. announced the commencement of a broad gravity survey over the Alwyn Copper-Gold (Cu-Au) Trend (Alwyn) on its 100% owned SPJ Property (SPJ) near Sudbury, Ontario. Survey Highlights: The gravity survey is testing the presence of iron-rich alteration zones in which Cu-Au mineralization could be associated with specular hematite to form iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) or affiliated critical metal mineralization that are not detectable with regional magnetic surveys; Geological indicators from the 2022 drilling program are suggesting the presence of iron-rich alteration zones under the Alwyn prospect; The gravity survey covers a total of 321.9 ha at 100 m line spacing with line azimuth 45°/225° over 3.2 km along the McLaren Lake Fault Zone to cover the high and moderate priority targets proposed by ALS GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd. (ALS GoldSpot) in May 2022; The survey will be conducted by Initial Exploration Services in conjunction with ALS GoldSpot over an estimated 10 days. Alwyn Cu-Au Target: Phase 1 drilling at Alwyn consisted of five oriented diamond drill holes, totalling 693 m. Variably dense and multi-directional networks of quartz-carbonate to carbonate veins, comparable to the networks of veins associated with copper-gold mineralization at surface, were intersected in all five drill holes. At surface and in diamond drilling in the Alwyn area, sporadic veins comprised of specular hematite + K-feldspar and variably associated with chalcopyrite mineralization were also observed. This iron oxide-bearing + K-feldspar alteration type is indicative of possible IOCG mineralization. The 321.9 ha gravity survey along the 2.5 km Alwyn Cu-Au trend is testing for the presence of zones of iron alteration under the Alwyn prospect in which Cu-Au mineralization could be associated with specular hematite to form IOCG mineralization. This survey will help to define the footprint of iron alteration/mineralization, including potassium feldspar, earthy & specular hematite associated with mineralization and veins that were observed in the 2022 drilling program. Regional magnetic surveys indicate several interesting features along the Alwyn trend and McLaren Lake Fault. No gravity surveys have been completed in this area to date which is necessary to detect concentrations of specular hematite or non-magnetic iron-rich minerals. The results of the survey will be integrated into ALS GoldSpot's machine learning technology to generate additional targets for future drilling and exploration. Highlights of Phase 1 Drilling at the Alwyn Prospect: 0.41 % CuEq (0.17 % Cu, 0.36 g/t Au and 0.28 g/t Ag) over 90.44 m in hole AW-22-102 (Alwyn), within an untested area of Alwyn, including two zones of stronger mineralization: Upper zone: 41.53 m at 0.53 % CuEq (0.24 % Cu, 0.43 g/t Au and 0.41 g/t Ag), including 3.99 % CuEq (1.36 % Cu, 3.87 g/t Au and 3.05 g/t Ag) over 3.20 m; Lower zone: 13.00 m at 0.84 % CuEq (0.29 % Cu, 0.82 g/t Au and 0.33 g/t Ag); Identification of cobalt anomalies in most of the drill holes completed in the Alwyn system with the broadest intersection being 0.015 % Co over 26.50 meters in AW-22-101; Copper-gold mineralization open in all directions and confirmed over a strike length of 115 m within the 2.5 km Alwyn: Copper-Gold Trend interpreted in conjunction with the work of ALS GoldSpot; Supports the potential to further expand the Alwyn copper-gold system; Widest and most significantly mineralized interval intersected during this initial five hole program at Alwyn was located southeast of the Alwyn Mine beyond the historically known footprints of Cu-Au mineralization.
