Current Mineral Resource Estimates

Chibougamau Copper-Gold Project – Mineral Resource Estimates
Mineral Resources prepared in accordance with CIM Standards (NI 43-101) as at 30 March 2022

Notes:

  1. The Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) at the Chibougamau Project is a foreign estimate prepared in accordance with CIM Standards and is not reported in accordance with the JORC Code. A competent person has not done sufficient work to classify the foreign estimate as a mineral resource in accordance with the JORC Code, and it is uncertain whether further evaluation and exploration will result in an estimate reportable under the JORC Code. CIM (2014) definitions were followed for the MRE.
  2. The effective date of the MRE for Corner Bay, Devlin and Joe Mann is March 30, 2022. The effective date of the MRE for Cedar Bay is December 31, 2018. The MRE were prepared by QP Luke Evans, M.Sc., P.Eng, ing., of Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (now SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd.).
  3. Mineral resources have been reported at a cut-off grades of 2.6 g/t Au at Joe Mann, 1.3% Cu at Corner Bay, 2.9 g/t Au at Cedar Bay and 1.2% Cu at Devlin. Mineral Resources at Joe Mann are estimated using a long-term gold price of US$1,800/oz Au, and a metallurgical gold recovery of 83%. Mineral Resources at Corner Bay and Devlin are estimated using a long-term copper price of US$3.75 per pound, and a metallurgical copper recovery of 95%. Mineral Resources at Cedar Bay are estimated using a long-term gold price of US$1,400/oz Au, and a metallurgical gold recovery of 90%. Mineral Resources are estimated using an exchange rate of US$0.75/C$1.00.
  4. The MRE includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorised as Mineral Reserves. There is also no certainty that Inferred Mineral Resources will be converted to Measured and Indicated categories through further drilling, or into Mineral Reserves once economic considerations are applied.
  5. Numbers may not add up due to rounding.

Compliance Statements

The information on this website that relates to the foreign estimate of mineralisation for the Chibougamau Project was first released by Cygnus Metals Ltd (“Cygnus” or the “Company”) in an ASX announcement dated 15 October 2024 and titled “Cygnus agrees to merge with Doré Copper Mining Corp., combining a high-grade copper-gold project with proven exploration expertise”. The Company confirms that the supporting information included in the announcement of 15 October 2024 continues to apply and has not materially changed, notwithstanding the clarification announcement released by Cygnus on 28 January 2025 (“Clarification”). Cygnus confirms that (notwithstanding the Clarification) it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the original announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. Cygnus confirms that it is not in possession of any new information or data relating to the foreign estimate that materially impacts on the reliability of the estimates or Cygnus’ ability to verify the foreign estimates as mineral resources in accordance with the JORC Code. The Company confirms that the supporting information provided in the original market announcement continues to apply and has not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons’ findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.

Metal equivalents for the foreign estimate and exploration results on this website have been calculated at a copper price of US$8,750/t, gold price of US$2,350/oz, copper equivalents calculated based on the formula CuEq (%) = Cu(%) + (Au (g/t) x 0.77258). Metallurgical recovery factors have been applied to the copper equivalents calculations, with copper metallurgical recovery assumed at 95% and gold metallurgical recovery assumed at 85% based upon historical production at the Chibougamau Processing Facility, and the metallurgical results contained in Cygnus’ announcement dated 28 January 2025. It is the Company’s view that all elements in the copper equivalent calculations have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

The information on this website that relates to the JORC Mineral Resource Estimate at the Pontax Project has been previously released by Cygnus in an ASX announcement dated 14 August 2023 and titled “Maiden Resource of 10.1Mt at 1.04% Li2O with mineralisation open in all directions”. The Mineral Resource Estimate for the Pontax Project reported in accordance with the CIM Standards (2019) was prepared by QP Todd McCracken, P.Geo., of BBA Inc and was previously released by Cygnus in an ASX announcement dated 22 November 2024.

The information in this presentation that relates to previously reported Exploration Results at the Company’s projects have been previously released by Cygnus Metals in ASX announcements as noted elsewhere on this website.

Cygnus is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information in the said announcements, and in the case of estimates of Mineral Resources at the Pontax Project, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons’ findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcements.
