Resource
Significant track record of delineating additional resources; more than doubled resources to 9.2 Moz Au since 2010
Canada ranks consistently as one of the world’s most attractive countries for mining investment
Tier-1 Jurisdiction
Nunavut is host to multiple established operations including the Meadowbank, Meliadine and Hope Bay mines
On-Track for First Project is substantially de-risked with procurement ~97% complete
Gold in Q1 2025 2022 sealift was completed on schedule with ~12,500 Mt of dry goods received and 9.2 million litres of diesel fuel offloaded
Strong Community Kitikmeot Inuit Association is an aligned shareholder; 20-year land use agreements in place
Support Widespread community support with over 400 stakeholder engagements to date and ~15% Inuit workforce in 2022
One of the few construction-stage gold projects globally with significant scale and robust economics
Compelling
Economics Average annual production of 223 koz Au at AISC of US$775/oz over a 15-year mine life with an after-tax NPV5% of C$1.1B and an IRR of
