Arizona Tribune - McFarlane Lake Mining Submits Exploration Permit Application and Initiates Environmental Baseline Study at Juby Gold Project

The upcoming exploration campaign will also include geophysical surveys, including Induced Polarization (IP) and Magnetic surveys, to refine and expand drill targets and better define near-surface and deeper mineralized trends.

In parallel with exploration permitting, McFarlane has initiated an environmental baseline study, a key step towards responsible development, advancing future production permitting timetables and further de-risking the Juby Gold Project. The study will set the foundation for McFarlane's first closure plan and pave the way toward an Advanced Exploration Permit, a critical step that would allow for bulk sampling and the potential shipment of initial high-grade ore from the Juby Gold Project for processing offsite.

"The submission of our exploration permit marks an important step forward for the Juby Gold Project," said Mark Trevisiol, CEO of McFarlane Lake Mining. "We are aligning our exploration plans with strong environmental stewardship and regulatory compliance as we advance development and de-risk this highly prospective gold asset."

The Juby Gold Project hosts a significant near-surface gold resource (Non-compliant NI 43-101 resource, see note below) with strong potential for expansion both along strike and at depth. The upcoming drill program is designed to expand known mineralization, test high-priority targets, and improve resource confidence across the deposit area.

The Company will provide further updates as they become available.

McFarlane is also expecting to release an updated Mineral Resource Estimate on the property in the coming days.
