  • CH-22-06 intersected 87.38 m of 0.97 g/t gold equivalent AuEq1including 28.77 m of 1.41 g/t AuEq
  • CH-22-13 intersected 61.05 m of 1.17 g/t AuEqincluding 12.25 m of 2.21 g/t AuEq
• Surface exploration underway at the Dorland Prospect with grab samples up to 12,000 ppm (1.2%) Co and 984 ppm Ni
• Completion of the Rathbun 3D IP survey with several anomalies identified

Cobalt Hill

At the Cobalt Hill gold-cobalt-nickel target, assays for holes CH-22-06, CH-22-08 and CH-22-13 are included in this update and assays for five holes remain pending (see Table 1). The extent of the mineralization and areas of high-grade gold in drilling are very encouraging. The mineralized system appears to have zonation of metals between gold and cobalt/nickel. Results for the last five holes are expected in the coming weeks.

Figure 1 provides a plan map of the drill hole collars and traces. Figures 2 to 4 are sections of the drill holes reported in this release.

Hole CH-22-06 was drilled to test the up-dip extent of sulphide breccia in hole CH-22-05A (111.45m of 1.35 g/t AuEq, see press release April 11th, 2022) and intersected 87.38 m of 0.97 g/t AuEq, 0.44 g/t gold (Au), 382 ppm cobalt (Co) and 152 ppm nickel (Ni).

The upper zone in CH-22-06 (previously released April 11th, 2022), intersected 37.1 m of 1.61 g/t AuEq, 1.26 g/t Au, 261 ppm Co and 78 ppm Ni; including 2.03 m of 7.44 g/t AuEq, 7.10 g/t Au, 241 ppm Co and 102 ppm Ni.

Hole CH-22-08 tested the eastern extent of sulphide breccia and returned lower gold values with higher more consistent cobalt and nickel values. The hole intersected 34.19 m of 0.57 g/t AuEq, 0.1 g/t Au, 247 ppm Co and 352 ppm Ni; and 32.84 m of 0.71 g/t AuEq, 0.30 g/t Au, 272 ppm Co and 179 ppm Ni. The fluctuation of gold, cobalt and nickel assays in the hole has indicated zonation of the mineralization useful for future exploration and delineation of the mineralized body.

Hole CH-22-13 was drilled to test the northwest area of the sulphide breccia and intersected 61.05 m of 1.17 g/t AuEq, 0.71 g/t Au, 288 ppm Co and 247 ppm Ni; including 21.25 m of 1.75 g/t AuEq, 1.31 g/t Au, 291 ppm Co and 185 ppm Ni; and including 12.25 m of 2.21 g/t AuEq, 1.79 g/t Au, 285 ppm Co, 170 ppm Ni. Core photos are provided in Figure 5.

Metallurgical characteristics are not yet known.2Assay intervals were calculated using values of >0.1 g/t Au within <2.5-m interval.Results are core lengths; true widths are not known.

Dorland Prospect

The Au-Co-Ni Dorland Prospect was acquired in late 2021 because of its similarities to Inventus’ Cobalt Hill target. A suite of samples have been collected from the area with assays ranging from 1,040 to 12,000 ppm Co, 0.04 to 0.77 g/t Au and 205 to 984 ppm Ni.

Geological mapping and prospecting are currently underway, including trenching and channel sampling of the mineralized occurrences (Figure 6). The extensive area of targeted alteration and sulphide breccia occurs over an area approximately 1.2 km north-south by 0.3 km east-west and presents an attractive exploration target for hydrothermal Au-Co-Ni mineralization.

Rathbun

In February, a 3D induced polarization (IP) survey was conducted over the Rathbun property. Survey results illustrate a series of targets occurring down dip along the Rathbun structure. Inventus is currently planning a follow-up program to investigate the anomalies.

Pardo

The 007 Zone bulk sampling program is advancing but has experienced delays reaching completion. The Pardo bulk sample was processed in February using gravity and flotation methods producing two concentrates. The gravity concentrate has been sold and is currently being processed by a smelter to produce refined gold. We have not yet reached a commercial agreement to smelt and refine the flotation concentrate but expect that will occur in June. Final reconciliation of the bulk sample will be possible shortly after shipping the flotation concentrate to the smelter. Inventus has learned from the current challenges and will be in a better position to conduct future bulk samples and deliver results more quickly in future.

Technical Information

The samples collected by Inventus described in this release were transported in secure sealed bags for preparation and assay by Agat Laboratories in Mississauga, Ontario. The samples reported were crushed in their entirety to 75% passing -10 mesh, with one 250 g subsample split and pulverized to 85% passing 200 mesh. One 50 g aliquot was taken from the subsample for fire assay (FA) with an ICP-MS/ICP-OES/AAS finish. Multielement assays were done by Sodium Peroxide Fusion with ICP-OES/ICP-MS finish. Samples over 10 g/t gold are subject to a 50 g aliquot FA with gravimetric finish.
