About the Great Northern and Viking Projects

The Great Northern and Viking Projects are located near the communities of Sops Arm, Pollard's Point, and Jackson's Arm, Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Projects are centered along a 30 km section of the Doucers Valley Fault, a known geological control and host to several gold occurrences, including the Thor and Rattling Brook Deposits. Additional known gold mineralization on the Projects includes the Incinerator, Furnace, Jacksons Arm, Viking, Kramer, Viking North, and Little Davis Pond mineralized trends. This proven gold environment with the Thor Deposit Mineral Resource and numerous untested gold trends occurs over a cumulative 30+ km strike length. Gold mineralization is hosted within a variety of rock types that include Precambrian or Ordovician granites to granodiorites, as well as younger volcanic and sedimentary rocks, typically along splays off the Doucers Valley Fault. Alteration consists of mesothermal style quartz ± iron carbonate ± sulfide veins and stockworks with 2 to 5% total sulfides consisting of pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena, chalcopyrite, or sphalerite. These mineralized veins can also contain trace amounts of visible gold.

Finder's Fee

Pursuant to a Finder's Fee Agreement between Gold Hunter and Kluane Capital FZCO executed on June 10, 2024, Gold Hunter paid a finder's fee of 1,824,225 Shares and $52,000 for services rendered in connection with the Option Agreement, the Property Purchase Agreements, and the SPA.

"Magna Terra is very pleased to finalize this transaction with Gold Hunter. We believe that the Great Northern Project has the potential to be an exceptional gold exploration project in a jurisdiction well supported by infrastructure and accessible year-round. With over 30 km of strike potential identified to date, and numerous first-priority drill targets hosted in a geological domain that is known to host gold deposits, there is potential for additional gold discoveries. We will continue to be involved with the development and execution of the technical exploration programs along with the Gold Hunter team; and as significant shareholders, we are very excited to see this project move forward with pace for the benefit of both Gold Hunter and Magna Terra stakeholders." - Lew Lawrick, President & CEO, Magna Terra Minerals Inc.

"We are thrilled to welcome both Lew and Darrell to our team, along with their partners and extended team. Their wealth of experience and expertise, particularly with Magna Terra's expansive time spent in the province, will be invaluable as we move forward. Again, we believe consolidation is key to expand known mineralized areas and Gold Hunter has seized an opportunity to control a district that we believe is underdeveloped and underexplored. We are already working alongside our expanded team to amalgamate the districts data, which includes additional high-priority drill targets outside of the Great Northern & Viking project area. I would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who has supported and contributed to this key positioning, the Great Northern Project. We look forward to exploring and developing the district," stated Sean Kingsley, President and CEO of Gold Hunter.
