Logan Project Highlights - The Logan Project is located 108 km northwest of Watson Lake, Yukon, and contains a significant zinc-silver resource, with mineralization starting at surface and extending to at least 275 meters in depth [2][4]. - The mineral resource estimate includes an Indicated Mineral Resource of 2.6 million tonnes grading 5.1% zinc and 23.1 g/t silver, and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 16.9 million tonnes grading 4.3% zinc and 18.2 g/t silver [9]. - Drill results indicate excellent continuity of mineralization and potential for resource expansion both laterally and at depth, with historical drill core re-analysis revealing economically significant indium values averaging 35 ppm and up to 273 ppm [3][4]. Tim Property NSR - Almadex holds a 2% NSR royalty on the Tim Property, which is being advanced by Coeur Mining under an option agreement, allowing Coeur to earn up to an 80% interest through staged exploration expenditures [6][11]. - Coeur has invested approximately $1.6 million to date, completing various exploration activities including a six-hole, 2,250-meter drill program in 2024 [7][10]. - Recent geological observations suggest that Tim may host a productive Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) system, with significant silver-lead-zinc potential [8][11]. Strategic Significance - The combination of the Logan Project's updated mineral resource and Almadex's strategic royalty exposure at Tim positions the company as a unique participant in the critical and precious metals landscape in Yukon and northern British Columbia [11][15]. - The company is currently focused on a large regional exploration program in the western United States while seeking a qualified partner to advance the Logan Project [5][11].
