Mineral Properties

Hercules Property

The Hercules Property represents 4,246 acres consisting of one patented lode claim, 158 unpatented lode claims and approximately 1,165 acres of mineral rights owned in fee with attendant access, exploration, drilling mining and milling rights to 1,770 acres of surface. The Company has a 100% interest in the Hercules Property, subject to a 2% net smelter royalty. The Hercules Property is located on the northwestern shoulder of Cuddy Mountain, 200 kilometers northwest of Boise, Idaho. Cuddy Mountain is an uplifted and tilted fault block of accreted Mesozoic terrane about 19 kilometers across, which is characterized by open grassy slopes. Mineralization is hosted within a Triassic-Jurassic sequence of volcanics, volcaniclastics and carbonate rocks.

Highlights of the Hercules Property include:

  • Drill ready project with 6 target zones spanning 5.5 kilometers of geology favourable for shallow high-grade silver mineralization. Company plans to drill the project in 2022.
  • Over 300 historical drill holes spanning 3.5 kilometers was input into a six-dimensional model, which was utilized to identify priority targets. Geological mapping, IP geophysics and sampling further refined drill targets. Historical drill intercepts and related disclaimers can be accessed from the Company's corporate presentation at www.herculessilver.com.
  • Historical drill-defined mineralization is open in multiple directions including at depth. Recent soil sampling programs by the company have identified potential extensions and new zones of mineralization.
  • Located in Idaho, a stable and mining friendly jurisdiction. A 1969 agreement with the original landowner grants the company the right to drill, mine and mill on surface land covering approximately half of the project area.

Technical Developments

On February 10, 2022, the Company filed a technical report, titled "Technical Report for the Hercules Silver Project, Washington County, Idaho, USA" (the "Technical Report"). The Technical Report was independently prepared for the Company by Mr. Donald E. Cameron, P.Geo, LG, SME-RM of Cameron Resource Consulting, LLC, an independent and "Qualified Person" under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The Technical Report is dated February 9, 2022, with an effective date of November 15, 2021.

On February 28, 2022, the Company completed an extensive historical data compilation for Hercules, which comprised data relating to IP geophysics, soil geochemistry, geological mapping, and over 300 historical holes drilled from the period 1965 to 1988. The data was scanned from physical drill logs, maps and reports which were held in storage for over 30 years.

On March 9, 2022, the Company and Goldspot Discoveries Corp. completed a six-dimensional ("3D") geological model for Hercules. The model incorporates the recently digitized historical exploration and drilling data. The results of the model enable the Company to visualize the geometry of the mineralization in 3D and assists with guiding the Company's exploration drilling plans. 3D geological modelling was not historically completed by past operators.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

For the six months ended June 30, 2022

Leviathan Property

The Leviathan Property claims are located immediately adjacent to the Hercules Property in the Heath Mining District of Washington County, Idaho, USA. The acquisition of the Leviathan Property is considered by the Company to be an expansion of the Hercules Property. The Leviathan Property claims are located immediately east of and adjoining to the existing Hercules Property mineral rights. Historical surface sampling on the Leviathan Property claims indicates that the silver (+/- lead-zinc) mineralization at Hercules Property extends onto the northern portion of the Leviathan Property, which provides the Company with additional targets to increase the overall strike length of the mineralized system. Significant copper mineralization is also present within the volcanic rocks at surface on the south side of the Leviathan Property, suggesting a potential porphyry copper system may be present at depth.

Numerous quartz porphyry plugs, believed to be Cretaceous in age, intrude the volcanic sequence in the southern half of Leviathan. A large intrusive complex associated with copper porphyry style mineralization occurs on the adjacent IXL prospect to the southeast. The intrusive complex present at the IXL prospect is interpreted to be genetically related to similar intrusive rocks on the Leviathan.

On June 12, 2022, the Company completed its interpretation of 2021 soil sampling data, and reported a new 2-kilometer diameter copper soil anomaly, immediately adjacent to the CRD-stylesilver-lead-zinc mineralization on the Hercules Property. The size and grade of the newly discovered anomaly, which remains open under cover to the south, is consistent with a significant porphyry copper system that may have been a feeder system to the adjacent silver-rich CRD mineralization. Select rock grab samples returned values of up to 8.2% copper, 0.5 g/t gold and 246 g/t silver.

Technical Developments

The Company is further evaluating and sampling the Leviathan Property claims.

The Company has yet to generate any revenues. The Company recorded a loss of $1,258,659 for the period ended June 30, 2022, compared to $7,103.096 for the period ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in the loss is primarily due to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, as well as additional professional fees incurred to affect the Qualifying Transaction, along with consulting fees, filing fees, required to engage in exploration and evaluation in year 2021.

Given nature of the company's exploration activities, it will not achieve profitability for the foreseeable future. The company intends to use proceeds from equity financing to achieve its business objectives.

The following provides a breakdown of the general and administrative expenses for the period ended June 30, 2022, and 2021:
