Arizona Tribune - McFarlane Issues NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate on Its Juby Gold Project

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / October 7, 2025 / McFarlane Lake Mining Limited (CSE:MLM)(OTCQB:MLMLF) ("McFarlane Lake" or the "Company" or "McFarlane"), a Canadian gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce the Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") of its recently purchased Juby Gold project (or "Juby") located approximately 15 kilometers west from Gowganda, Ontario and approximately 90 kilometers west from Temiskaming Shores, Ontario.

This MRE has been classified in accordance with CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (CIM, 2014) and follows the CIM Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practice Guidelines (CIM, 2019). It is based on the review of existing geological data (drilling, assays, drill logs, etc.) and mineralization modelling. The MRE was independently prepared by Todd McCracken, P. Geo of the BBA E&C Inc., with technical staff primarily from their Sudbury, Ontario office. The full Technical Report, which is being prepared in accordance with NI-43-101 will be available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under the Corporation's issuer profile within 45 days of this news release.

Table 1 - Detail Mineral Resource Estimate within pit shell + underground shapes
(OP= Open Pit, UG= Underground, Mt= Millions tonnes, Moz= Millions Ounces, Au= Gold metal)

Note 1: Mineral Resource Statement Notes

1. CIM definition standards were followed for the resource estimate.

2. This Mineral Resource has an effective date of September 29, 2025.

3. The 2025 resource models used ordinary kriging (OK) grade estimation within a three-dimensional block model with mineralized domains defined by wireframe solids.

4. Mineral resources are constrained within pit shells (OP) and Underground Shapes (UG)

5. Open pit cut-off of 0.25 g/t Au milled is based on the cost/tonne ($USD/t) milled for incremental mining, processing, and G&A

6. Underground cut-off of 1.85 g/t Au milled is based on the cost/tonne ($USD/t) milled for incremental mining, processing, and G&A

7. The 0.25 g/t Au cut-off for OP and the 1.85 g/t Au cut-off for UG used for reporting is based on the
   following:

   1. Long term Gold price of US$2,500/oz

   2. Metallurgical recoveries are based on metallurgical testing recovery of 92%

   3. Average Bulk density (specific gravity) was determined for each lithology and/or mineralized domain within the deposit

   4. Processing costs of USD$11.00/t, G&A costs of USD$4.00/t, and Tailings Fee of USD$2.00/t milled

   5. Dilution of 5% for OP, and 10% for UG

   6. Overall Pit Slope angle of 47 degrees

8. Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have economic viability. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

9. The resource estimate was prepared by Todd McCracken, P.Geo, of BBA E&C Inc. in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

"We are delighted by the results of this Mineral Resource Estimate", says Mark Trevisiol CEO and Chairman of McFarlane Lake Mining, adding "this now puts McFarlane with some of the top gold resource properties in Ontario. Our team has reacted quickly to having this asset in our portfolio with application already registered with the Ministry of Mines for further exploration at Juby. We see significant potential to add more ounces at Juby. Our team has been on the ground reviewing existing drill core as well as studying geological models for the deposit. There are several areas we would like to target for additional gold resources; detail plans will be shared in the coming weeks".

Sensitivities based on gold prices were also performed and listed in Table 2 below. McFarlane would like to highlight that at a gold price of $3750/oz approximately 5.42 million ounces was identified as gold resources. Gold prices on the New York Comex exchange have averaged over US$3850/oz in the last week.
