Middle River Gold
Room to Grow
Thistle has defined over 7km of mineralized folding through leading-edge geophysical techniques and UAV drone technology, with only a small portion of 400m being drill-tested, highlighting major exploration upside.
High-Grade Gold
Wide, high-grade gold intercepts over three drill programs up to 1.70 g/t over 38.3 meters and additional intercepts include 3.47 g/t over 17.6 meters and 2.41 g/t over 18.2 meters.
High-Confidence Drill Targets
Following a successful Phase 2 drill program, 26 high-confidence drill sites have been selected for Phase 3, targeting both resource expansion and new zones.
Highlights
Flagship gold asset located in the World-Famous Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick
High-grade gold intercepts including 1.70 g/t over 38.3m and 14.58 g/t over 3.38m
Hosted within structurally controlled folds of the Canoe Landing Lake Formation
Includes the parallel SIP Gold Zone, rich in chromium alteration and sulfides
Over 50 drill target centers identified using EarthEx and Abitibi proprietary 3D IP and UAV drone geophysics
Advanced Phase 3 drill program targeting 26 sites across 4,000m
Short-term goal to define 2M+ oz of gold across the broader mineralized trend

The "S-Trend"
EarthEx reprocessed existing MegaTEM and Aerodat Magnetic Data, utilizing advanced proprietary algorithms to identify and confirm the 7km mineralized “S-Trend” (shown in blue) on the Middle River Gold property. The resulting analysis correlates perfectly with the existing deposit and the mineralized fold structure identified by Abitibi Geophysics’ Orion proprietary technology (pg. 15)
Independently, EarthEx and Abitibi utilizing their own proprietary technologies both identified and confirmed the 7 kilometer overlapping trend, with target selection. EarthEx’s identified “S-Trend” and Abitibi’s mineralized fold trend is well-defined, and estimated to be a minimum of 7 kilometers in length. The current deposit only represents 400m of strike within the 7km trend
EarthEx and Abitibi have identified over 50 drill target centers representing hundreds of future drill holes (permits have been received.)

Mineralized Folds Trend
Abitibi Geophysics identified (5) new, untested mineralized folds, depicted in yellow channels. These channels correlate directly to and support the mineralized “S-Trend” identified by EarthEx.
Abitibi Geophysics IP survey identifies new, untested, high-chargeability lower zone (400m) depicted in purple. (To be tested in 2025)
