Brady Sudbury
Project
The Brady Sudbury Project includes the Parkin (Golden Pine, Marble Mountain, Black Creek, and Terra Incognita), Fraleck, and River North claim groups, covering a total area of 8,811 ha.
Located on the northeast corner of the Sudbury Structure, the Parkin property is approximately 40 km north of Sudbury, Ontario, with the Fraleck and River North properties situated an additional 6 km to the north.

Geological Setting
Geology
Archean Benny Greenstone Belt
Lode gold showings are hosted by volcanic rocks of the Archean Benny greenstone belt, exposed in the central portion of the Parkin claim group. Quartz-carbonate stringer veins cut altered felsic volcanic rocks within an approximately 150 m wide, northeast-trending shear/fracture system, hosting up to 40% disseminated pyrite with occasional malachite and azurite.
Huronian Sediments & Gabbro
The Galena/Pyrite Hill and Calcite showings are hosted in Huronian sediments cut by northwest-trending structures that regionally extend south along the east side of the Sudbury Structure into the area of IOCG-style gold mineralization at the Scadding Gold Mine. Sulphide mineralization on the River North property is found associated with shears in Huronian sediments and Nipissing-type gabbro.
Major Structural Controls
The River North property is situated along the major regional north-trending Wanapitei Fault, which projects south into the area of the IOCG gold-mineralized Scadding Mine south of Lake Wanapitei. The Vermilion River follows the major northwest-trending Milnet Fault, which in part bounds the western side of the Benny Greenstone Belt.
Sudbury Structure
The Parkin Offset dyke of the Sudbury Structure has been traced to within a short distance of the western edge of the property. Smaller offset dykes have also been identified on the south side of the Parkin property by OGS mapping.
Drill Results & Sampling
Historical Exploration
Golden Pine Drilling
Parkin Claim GroupHistorical exploration at Golden Pine identified four subparallel zones — A, A1, B, and C. Drill results include 29.8 g/t Au and 55 g/t Ag over 0.69 m in the "A" Zone, and 6.89 g/t Au over 1.37 m in hole 96-9 from the "A-1" Zone. A channel sample from the "B" Zone returned 14.62 g/t Au and 34.29 g/t Ag over 0.76 m.
2021 Program
Galena/Pyrite HillTrenching in 2021 at Galena/Pyrite Hill exposed quartz-carbonate veins with associated pyrite, galena, and minor chalcopyrite. Channel sample results included 3.2 g/t Au, 0.34 g/t Ag, and 0.36 ppm Te over 5.98 m in Channel 5. Two of three 2021 drill holes intersected gold mineralization, including 21.19 g/t Au and 1.4 g/t Ag over 0.68 m in SM-21-03.
Calcite Showing
Parkin Claim GroupHistorical diamond drilling at the Calcite Showing intersected up to 4.25 m of disseminated to massive pyrite in siliceous/cherty intervals, returning 1.54 g/t Au over 1 m and 0.583 g/t Au over 1.16 m. Selected samples were reportedly re-sampled and returned 3.1 g/t Au and 20.57 g/t Au, along with 0.85% Cu, 0.66% Ni, 3% Zn, and 0.07% Co.
Vermilion River
2015 & 2011 ProgramsA 2015 overburden hole program returned nine samples exceeding 10-grain anomalies, with hole 20 yielding 225 grains — a calculated Au value of 6,658 ppb. Approximately 2 km to the north, a 2011 diamond drill hole (BC-11-002) intersected 2.27 g/t Au over 1.0 m within a zone averaging 1.0 g/t Au over 8.9 m.
Where We're Focused
Priority Targets
Golden Pine
Four subparallel lode gold zones within a 150 m-wide shear system. A ~1 km chargeability anomaly remains undrilled.
Galena/Pyrite Hill & Calcite
Post-drilling review recommends follow-up drilling. A southwest-trending anomaly at Calcite appears to intersect the Golden Pine anomaly — an area with no recorded historical diamond drilling.
River North
Inco Gold, Brady Gold, Wanapitei River Copper, and Fraleck/Towers showings along the Wanapitei Fault. Historical grab samples returned up to 3.99 g/t Au and 2.00% Cu.
Vermilion River
Five sites of gold mineralization in till suggest placer potential. Drill hole BC-11-002 averaged 1.0 g/t Au over 8.9 m.
