Additional Information on Material Properties

Alpha Project

Infrastructure:

The Alpha Project’s primary mineral right (claim number ANM 831.942/2016) is located in the rural zone of Santana do Alfié, a district in the municipality of São Domingos do Prata, in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. According to the latest data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (“IBGE”), the population of Santana do Alfié was 1,691 inhabitants. We believe that the current population size is similar. Houses in this district have power from the electric grid and utilize wells for water.

The district of Santana do Alfié originated in 1751 as a settlement near locations where alluvial gold had been identified by the Portuguese settlers of Brazil. It is a local understanding that the word “Alfié” derives from the evolutionary phonetic contraction of the term “Ouro Fiel” which can be translated as “Faithful Gold”.

The municipality of São Domingos do Prata, the largest town near the Alpha Project, had 17,392 inhabitants according to the IBGE census of 2022. This town is located only a few miles from the Alpha Project mineral rights and serves as the logistical basis where geologists and consultants stay. São Domingos do Prata offers all of the basic infrastructure needs such as labor and supplies.

Belo Horizonte, the 6th largest city in Brazil with a population of 2,315,560 according to the IBGE census of 2022, is only 88 miles away from the Alpha Project mineral rights. The Company’s office is located in Belo Horizonte. Belo Horizonte is the capital of the Brazilian state called “Minas Gerais” which in translation means “General Mines”. According to data provided in January 2024 by the Sindicato da Indústria Mineral do Estado de Minas Gerais, an organization representing the Minas Gerais mining industry sector, the state of Minas Gerais is responsible for 41.5% of all mineral output of Brazil, placing it as the top mineral producing state among 27 states in Brazil. In fact, Belo Horizonte is commonly known as “the mining capital of Brazil” for having strong concentration of head offices of mining companies and extensive availability of labor and supplies. The Belo Horizonte metropolitan area is served by a modern airport (Aeroporto Internacional de Confins – symbol CNF) with regional and international flights, including non-stop flights to the U.S.

During visits to the site, it was possible to check the condition of the existing roads, which are generally in good condition and appear to be frequently maintained, due to agricultural and cattle ranching activity in the vicinity (Figure 3).

Figure 3: Local road used to access the Alpha Project showing good condition.

For use in mobile offices, workshops and other support structures during drilling campaigns, the network of the local utility company, already existing on site, will be used. To do this, it will be necessary to install a point on the distribution line to connect with the future unit.

The area near and within the Alpha Project is home to multiple small waterways. We expect to apply for and receive permits for local water usage to support drilling campaign operations.

Work Completed:

Prior Work

As prior owner of the mineral right ANM 831.942/2016 which currently belongs to Jupiter Gold, Mineração Ouro Fiel (the “Prior Owner”) identified gold targets from soil geochemistry and confirmed mineralization in the colluvium through auger holes. This research work was carried out using a regular mesh, sampling every meter and chemical analysis at an outside laboratory.

Surface Owner Authorization

As the Company owns the mineral right but not the surface, prior to carrying out any exploration work, proper authorization was obtained from the surface owner. Our relations with the surface owner are very good.

Trenching

In 2020 and 2021, Oxford Geoconsultants (“Oxford”), a technical consulting firm with a geologist that meets the Qualified Person definition of Regulation S-K 1300 performed geological studies, including new trenching, in targets within ANM 831.942/2016. A summary of such results is presented below.

The research work carried out by Oxford at the Alpha Project has included semi-detailed geological recognition and mapping, in addition to well resampling and chemical analysis.

The geological recognition of the area was carried out through walks that identified and registered 58 excavations consisting of wells and trenches, carried out by the Prior Owner. At a promising target denominated “Lavrinha”, regional geological reconnaissance was also carried out to identify the main lithotypes existing in the area, as well as collect structural data and mineral occurrences.

Figure 4: Location map of old excavations at the Lavrinha target.

After the geological recognition stage, 188 information collection points were registered, such as lithologies, predominant mineralogy of rock structures and the presence of structures and outcrops of interest, among other relevant geological information of the location, for the preparation of a map of the area on a scale of semi-detail, supported by the description of wells and trenches opened by the Prior Owner (Figure 4).

Figure 5: Field point map.

In the well resampling stage, two wells were chosen from the 58 existing excavations (Figure 5). Saprolite material and colluvial material were analyzed, resulting in 37 samples at intervals of 1 meter in 1 meter, through vertical channels on one of the faces (north face) of the wells. The samples were collected from the bottom to the wellhead, always in the center of the face, thus avoiding contamination of lower intervals by material from higher intervals. Information on lithology and structures was collected that can assist in the geological-structural understanding of gold mineralization (Figure 6). For each sample, 3 kg of material was collected. All collected material was placed in a properly identified and sealed sample bag, avoiding sample exchange, loss of material or contamination during transport and storage. Finally, the samples were sent for chemical analysis at the SGS Geosol laboratory (“SGS”), in Vespasiano, Minas Gerais, a highly regarded analytical laboratory used by all major mining companies in Brazil. After description and sampling, these wells remained open for future audits, surrounded by a wire fence to prevent accidents with people and/or animals.

Figure 6: Map with location of sampled wells and registered excavations.

Figure 7: Photographs of the work performed in resampling of wells.

Chemical Analysis of Samples

In the chemical analysis stage, the fire assay method was used by SGS, resulting in the results presented in Table 1 below. Well 2 showed high levels in colluvium and saprolite with 4m at 5.0 gAu/t (simple average influenced by high content of sample AM36), a value of 0.70 gAu/t in the range of 7 to 8m depth, and additionally showed some anomalous values between 12 to 14m and 17 to 19m. The AM36 sample is noteworthy because it presented a gold content of 16,523 ppb; however it should be noted that the gold grain in the region is coarse, and a nugget effect may occur.

Exploration Plan:

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has engaged a geologist who meets the “Qualified Person” criteria under Item 1300 of Regulation S-K to prepare an exploration plan for the Alpha Project. Planning and budgeting for such exploration plan described above is ongoing. The Company anticipates that its initial cost will be in the $250,000 to $350,000 range, and will encompass further detailed geological mapping, geophysics, and initial exploratory drill holes.

Book Value of Property:

The book value of the property is less than $10,000. It includes the cost of obtaining the mineral property directly from the Brazilian national mining department. The Company has title to the mineral rights of the Alpha Project, and such title has no known encumbrances and can be assumed to be more valuable than its book value, although no third-party offers have been received or estimates prepared.

Quartzite Project

Infrastructure:

Our Quartzite Quarry (thereafter, simply “Quarry”) is in the rural zone of Conselheiro Mata, a district in the municipality of Diamantina, in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. According to the latest data from the IBGE, the population of Conselheiro Mata was 819 inhabitants. Most houses in the rural zone of this district have power from the electric grid and utilize wells for water.

The municipality of Diamantina, the largest town near our Quarry, had 47,702 inhabitants according to the IBGE census of 2022. Diamantina offers all the basic infrastructure needs such as labor and supplies.

Belo Horizonte, the capital of the state of Minas Gerais and where the Company has its principal place of business, is 172 miles away from our Quarry. Belo Horizonte is commonly known as “the mining capital of Brazil” for having strong concentration of head offices of mining companies and extensive availability of labor and supplies. The Belo Horizonte metropolitan area is served by a modern airport (Aeroporto Internacional de Confins – symb

Infrastructure:

The
Alpha Project’s primary mineral right (claim number ANM 831.942/2016) is located in the rural zone of Santana do Alfié,
a district in the municipality of São Domingos do Prata, in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. According to
the latest data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (“IBGE”), the population of Santana do Alfié
was 1,691 inhabitants. We believe that the current population size is similar. Houses in this district have power from the electric

Portuguese settlers of Brazil. It is a local understanding that the word “Alfié” derives from the evolutionary phonetic
contraction of the term “Ouro Fiel” which can be translated as “Faithful Gold”.

The
municipality of São Domingos do Prata, the largest town near the Alpha Project, had 17,392 inhabitants according to the IBGE census
of 2022. This town is located only a few miles from the Alpha Project mineral rights and serves as the logistical basis where geologists

Belo
Horizonte, the 6th largest city in Brazil with a population of 2,315,560 according to the IBGE census of 2022, is only 88
miles away from the Alpha Project mineral rights. The Company’s office is located in Belo Horizonte. Belo Horizonte is the capital
of the Brazilian state called “Minas Gerais” which in translation means “General Mines”. According to data
provided in January 2024 by the Sindicato da Indústria Mineral do Estado de Minas Gerais, an organization representing the Minas

Work
Completed:

Prior
Work

As
prior owner of the mineral right ANM 831.942/2016 which currently belongs to Jupiter Gold, Mineração Ouro Fiel (the
“Prior Owner”) identified gold targets from soil geochemistry and confirmed mineralization in the colluvium through
auger holes. This research work was carried out using a regular mesh, sampling every meter and chemical analysis at an outside
laboratory.

Surface
Owner Authorization

As
the Company owns the mineral right but not the surface, prior to carrying out any exploration work, proper authorization was obtained
from the surface owner. Our relations with the surface owner are very good.

Trenching

In
2020 and 2021, Oxford Geoconsultants (“Oxford”), a technical consulting firm with a geologist that meets the Qualified Person
definition of Regulation S-K 1300 performed geological studies, including new trenching, in targets within ANM 831.942/2016. A summary
of such results is presented below.

The
research work carried out by Oxford at the Alpha Project has included semi-detailed geological recognition and mapping, in addition
to well resampling and chemical analysis.

The
geological recognition of the area was carried out through walks that identified and registered 58 excavations consisting of wells
and trenches, carried out by the Prior Owner. At a promising target denominated “Lavrinha”, regional geological
reconnaissance was also carried out to identify the main lithotypes existing in the area, as well as collect structural data and
mineral occurrences.

Figure
4: Location map of old excavations at the Lavrinha target.

After
the geological recognition stage, 188 information collection points were registered, such as lithologies, predominant mineralogy of rock
structures and the presence of structures and outcrops of interest, among other relevant geological information of the location, for
the preparation of a map of the area on a scale of semi-detail, supported by the description of wells and trenches opened by the Prior
Owner (Figure 4).

Figure
5: Field point map.

In
the well resampling stage, two wells were chosen from the 58 existing excavations (Figure 5). Saprolite material and colluvial material
were analyzed, resulting in 37 samples at intervals of 1 meter in 1 meter, through vertical channels on one of the faces (north face)
of the wells. The samples were collected from the bottom to the wellhead, always in the center of the face, thus avoiding contamination
of lower intervals by material from higher intervals. Information on lithology and structures was collected that can assist in the geological-structural
understanding of gold mineralization (Figure 6). For each sample, 3 kg of material was collected. All collected material was placed in
a properly identified and sealed sample bag, avoiding sample exchange, loss of material or contamination during transport and storage.
Finally, the samples were sent for chemical analysis at the SGS Geosol laboratory (“SGS”), in Vespasiano, Minas Gerais,
a highly regarded analytical laboratory used by all major mining companies in Brazil. After description and sampling, these wells
remained open for future audits, surrounded by a wire fence to prevent accidents with people and/or animals.

7: Photographs of the work performed in resampling of wells.

Chemical
Analysis of Samples

In
the chemical analysis stage, the fire assay method was used by SGS, resulting in the results presented in Table 1 below.
Well 2 showed high levels in colluvium and saprolite with 4m at 5.0 gAu/t (simple average influenced by high content of sample AM36),
a value of 0.70 gAu/t in the range of 7 to 8m depth, and additionally showed some anomalous values between 12 to 14m and 17 to 19m. The
AM36 sample is noteworthy because it presented a gold content of 16,523 ppb; however it should be noted that the gold
grain in the region is coarse, and a nugget effect may occur.

Exploration
Plan:

As
of December 31, 2023, the Company has engaged a geologist who meets the “Qualified Person” criteria under Item 1300 of
Regulation S-K to prepare an exploration plan for the Alpha Project. Planning and budgeting for such exploration plan described
above is ongoing. The Company anticipates that its initial cost will be in the $250,000 to $350,000 range, and will encompass further
detailed geological mapping, geophysics, and initial exploratory drill holes.

Book
Value of Property:

The book value of the property is less than $10,000.
It includes the cost of obtaining the mineral property directly from the Brazilian national mining department. The Company has title
to the mineral rights of the Alpha Project, and such title has no known encumbrances and can be assumed to be more valuable than its
book value, although no third-party offers have been received or estimates prepared.

Quartzite
Project

Infrastructure:

Our
Quartzite Quarry (thereafter, simply “Quarry”) is in the rural zone of Conselheiro Mata, a district in the municipality of
Diamantina, in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. According to the latest data from the IBGE, the population of Conselheiro Mata was 819 inhabitants. Most houses in the rural zone of this district
have power from the electric grid and utilize wells for water.

The
municipality of Diamantina, the largest town near our Quarry, had 47,702 inhabitants according to the IBGE census of 2022. Diamantina
offers all the basic infrastructure needs such as labor and supplies.

Belo
Horizonte, the capital of the state of Minas Gerais and where the Company has its principal place of business, is 172 miles away from
our Quarry. Belo Horizonte is commonly known as “the mining capital of Brazil” for having strong concentration of
head offices of mining companies and extensive availability of labor and supplies. The Belo Horizonte metropolitan area is served by
a modern airport (Aeroporto Internacional de Confins – symb
