“A number of new discoveries, together with the current discovery of gold mineralization, reveal the potential of this large-scale property that was traditionally acknowledged solely for its base metallic potential. The affirmation of a gold-bearing orogenic system adjoining to present mine infrastructure considerably expands the chance for worth creation. Nuvau is geared to proceed the exploration on this huge land bundle within the Abitibi,” mentioned Peter van Alphen, CEO of Nuvau Minerals Inc.
Highlights embrace the continued validation of the orogenic gold system that was found adjoining to the absolutely permitted Bracemac mine, and optimistic outcomes from drilling further zones on the Property, reminiscent of high-grade base metallic mineralization at Caber and Renaissance:
- Discovery of Bracemac orogenic gold system
- First drill gap (BRCG-25-01) intersected 8.87 g/t Au over 1.05 m, together with 16.02 g/t Au over 0.55
- Seen gold noticed in three of 4 orientation holes accomplished to this point, confirming the presence and continuity of the gold-bearing shear zone
- Caber Advanced — 14 holes totaling 10,426 m accomplished to improve assets previous to an up to date Mineral Useful resource Estimate (MRE)
- GCB-24-113: 5.49% Cu, 5.95% Zn, 0.15 g/t Au, and 35.66 g/t Ag — 2.8 m
- GCB-24-114: 4.43% Cu, 2.07% Zn, 0.12 g/t Au, and 9.05 g/t Ag — 2.75 m
- GCB-24-116: 1.85% Cu, 3.10% Zn, 0.05 g/t Au, and 9.81 g/t Ag — 27.2 m
- Renaissance Zone — 27 holes drilled, with 16 holes containing huge to semi-massive sulphides; preliminary MRE underway following spotlight outcomes together with 1.03% Cu, 9.16% Zn, 0.03 g/t Au, and 6.54 g/t Ag over 4.7 m
- McLeod Extension — MRE in progress following 7 new intersections from 5,526 m of further drilling to follow-up the 2023 discovery of 15.9 m grading 2.81% Cu, 14.80% Zn, and 0.39 g/t Au. New step-out outcomes embrace:
- 0.52% Cu, 10.96% Zn, 0.42 g/t Au, and 11.71 g/t Ag over 4.20 m
- 2.45% Cu, 0.24% Zn, 0.11 g/t Au, and 11.39 g/t Ag over 7.75 m
Drilling is underway to follow-up the current discovery of gold mineralization with 25 m of the prevailing mine entry ramp on the Bracemac Mine. Seen gold has now been noticed in three of 4 holes drilled on this new goal, confirming a steady shear zone intersected in all holes drilled to this point. The system is hosted inside a tonalite intrusive rock unit within the footwall of the Bracemac Mine, a rock unit the place nearly no historic holes have been drilled.
Gold exploration program
Operated by Glencore till June 2022, the Bracemac-McLeod mine was one in every of 12 past-producing base metallic mines on Nuvau’s 1,300 km² land bundle. Historic mining targeted totally on copper and zinc mineralization. Key infrastructure stays in place, and the mine stays permitted for operation. Little to no gold exploration was undertaken by the earlier operators as a result of earlier give attention to base metals.
Seen gold mineralization was noticed within the first gap drilled to check the primary of three precedence gold exploration targets that Nuvau recognized on this large-scale property. The present drill marketing campaign is geared toward defining the parameters of this newly-identified gold-bearing construction. To-date, 4 drill holes spaced 25 to 40 metres aside have established the strike and dip of the host shear zone that’s injected with quartz veins containing minor pyrite. A fifth gap is underway to check 100 metres under the preliminary drill holes.
Seen gold has now been noticed in three holes with all holes having intersected a sheared intrusive (tonalite) containing folded quartz-calcite-chlorite veins, mineralized with 1-3% pyrite. The primary gap intersected 8.87 g/t Au over 1.05 m with quite a few grains of seen gold recognized. Assay outcomes from further holes stay pending.

Caber Advanced
Fourteen drill holes have been accomplished totaling 10,426 m. This drilling was designed for the conversion of assets and to gather samples for metallurgical research in preparation for a feasibility research of the Caber Advanced deposits. A revised MRE is in progress and an up to date PEA is deliberate with the goal of optimizing the Caber Advanced mine plan and incorporating the potential restart of the Bracemac-McLeod Mine and mill complicated into an in depth financial evaluation.

Renaissance Zone
The Renaissance Zone was found by Nuvau in 2023, focusing on a geophysical anomaly situated within the “West Camp” of the Matagami Property, instantly north of the Caber Advanced deposits.
A complete of 27 holes have been drilled to check the Renaissance Zone, with 16 intersecting huge and semi-massive sulphide zones. An preliminary MRE for Renaissance is in progress. Outcomes from the newest drilling at Renaissance are offered in Desk 2, under.

McLeod extension
Intersected in 2023, the McLeod Mine extension demonstrated the potential for added assets adjoining to present mine workings, on the permitted past-producing Bracemac-McLeod Mine.
The extension discovery gap (MCL-13-31W1) returned 15.9 m grading 2.81% Cu, 14.80% Zn, and 0.39 g/t Au.
Seven new intersections from 5,526 m of further drill holes accomplished shall be included right into a MRE that’s in progress. This zone will, together with the Caber Advanced, be included into future research assessing the potential restart of the Bracemac-McLeod Mine and related financial evaluation.

About Nuvau Minerals Inc.
Nuvau Minerals is a Canadian mineral exploration firm advancing the Matagami mining camp, overlaying greater than 1,300 km² of extremely potential floor within the Abitibi area of mine-friendly Québec. Nuvau’s principal asset is the Matagami Property, which is host to important present processing infrastructure and a number of mineral deposits, however has by no means been subjected to a complete gold-focused exploration program. The Firm is leveraging revolutionary exploration strategies, together with AI-supported generative focusing on and hydro-geochemistry, to determine and develop new gold and base metallic deposits.
Certified Individual and High quality Assurance
Gilles Roy P. Geo. (Qc), Director of Exploration of Nuvau and a “certified individual” as is outlined by Nationwide Instrument 43-101, has verified the scientific and technical knowledge disclosed on this information launch, and has in any other case reviewed and authorised the scientific and technical data on this information launch.
Drill core samples are sawn by employees technicians to create half core splits. One cut up is retained within the drill core field for archival functions with a pattern tag affixed at every pattern interval and the opposite cut up is positioned in a labelled plastic bag together with a corresponding pattern quantity tag and positioned within the cargo queue.
High quality management samples together with blind licensed reference materials (“CRM”), clean materials, and core duplicates are inserted at a frequency of 1 in each 20 samples and pattern batches of as much as 60 samples have been then shipped immediately by Nuvau personnel to the ALS Canada Ltd. preparation laboratory in Rouyn-Noranda, Québec.
All submitted core samples are crushed in full to 95 % passing lower than 2 mm (ALS code CRU-32). A 1000-gram pattern was then riffled cut up from the crushed materials and pulverized to 90 % passing 75 μm (SPL-22 and PUL-32a). Pulps are shipped from the preparation laboratory to ALS Canada Ltd.’s analytical lab in North Vancouver, British Columbia, for assay.
Lead, silver, copper and zinc analyses have been decided by ore grade 4 acid digestion with an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (“ICP-AES”) or atomic absorption spectroscopy (“AAS”) end (ALS codes Pb-OG62, Ag-OG62, Cu-OG62 and ZnOG62), whereas gold was decided by 50 g fireplace assay evaluation with an AAS end (code Au-AA23).
A second methodology, PhotonAssay evaluation (code Au-PA01), was used on a single pattern from gap BRCG-25-01 the place seen gold was noticed. The remaining reject materials was pulverized to 95% passing 106um (PUL-32a) and recombined with the remaining grasp pulp materials and cut up into three jars (~500g every) and shipped from the preparation laboratory to ALS Canada Ltd.’s analytical lab in Thunder Bay Ontario, for photon assayed. The reported worth is the mixed weighted assay end result representing your complete size of the pattern. For comparability gold decided by 50 g fireplace assay evaluation return 15.75 g/t Au, in comparison with 16.02 g/t Au by PhotonAssay.
