The above technical information relating to drill collar location and analytical results has been taken directly from the Banyan Gold news releases dated September 5th 2024 and November 4th 2024. More detailed drilling information, analytical procedures and results are available in the full news releases issued by Banyan. Eagle Royalties management believes that although the reported true thickness estimates and drill collar location coordinates are accurate, it cautions that ER does not have detailed geological data or final surveyed locations of the drill hole traces in relation to the claims that are underlain by the ER royalty interests.
As reported by Banyan, the company initiated its 2024 exploration program on June 1 2024, and has completed 118 drill-holes and over 21,000 m of drilling within the Powerline and Airstrip deposit areas. Drilling was completed in mid-October and core continues to be logged and processed.
On September 16th, Banyan reported test recoveries of 93% in samples at Powerline and 90% at Airstrip using multiple conventional mill processing options including gravity recovery in combination with Carbon in Leach ("CIL")/Carbon in Pulp ("CIP") processes, and that work is ongoing for flotation-leach (see complete BYN news release here).
Banyan further reported on October 1, 2024 that it had contracted Geotech Ltd. to conduct a helicopter-supported Z-axis Tipper Electromagnetic ("ZTEM") geophysical survey over a 234 square kilometer area on the AurMac project, which was to include the Powerline and Airstrip deposit areas. Results from this survey have not been publicly released (see complete BYN news release here ).

The company generally relies on publicly available information regarding these properties and related operations and often has no ability to independently verify such information. In addition, such publicly available information may relate to a larger property area than that covered by the company's interests.
