Dorsal Gold

Early-stage epithermal systems offer some of the highest value-inflection curves in mineral exploration. The Shot Rock Epithermal Project represents an emerging, high-potential gold-silver target displaying classic structural control, robust alteration footprints, and multi-kilometer strike potential. Whether viewed through the lens of an RTO/IPO listing, a staged option/earn-in joint venture, or a direct project sale, the asset presents compelling leverage against broader precious metal market re-ratings. The Geological Blueprint System Style: Low to intermediate sulphidation epithermal gold-silver system with mapped silica caps, adularia-sericite alteration, and structurally focused vein-breccia corridors. Scale Potential: Target envelope scoped for a 0.5M to 1.5M+ oz AuEq maiden footprint with open strike and depth potential across mapped boiling horizons. Infrastructure & Access: Located in a mining-friendly jurisdiction with year-round access, lowering both discovery cost per ounce and future operational hurdles. Valuation & Re-Rating Benchmarks Pre-Discovery / Target Definition (Current Stage): Ground packages with drill-ready geochemical and geophysical targets trade at $1M – $5M CAD Enterprise Value (EV). Maiden Inferred Resource (0.5M – 1.0M oz AuEq): Peer comparators in Tier-1 jurisdictions command in-situ valuations of $20 – $45 USD/oz for bulk-mineable resources and $50 – $90+ USD/oz for high grade vein shoots. Advanced / PEA Inflection: Resource de-risking and favorable metallurgy (cyanidation recoveries) drive valuations upward toward $70 – $130+ USD/oz AuEq. Commercial Pathways & Deal Architecture We are evaluating strategic pathways to optimize project value and shareholder return: Staged Earn-In / Option JV: 3-to-4-year phased framework ($300k–$1.5M cash/shares, $3M plus funded drilling commitments, milestone resource bonus, and retained 2–3% NSR). Public Listing / Spin-Out Vehicle: Serves as a flagship cornerstone asset for a targeted precious metals explorer. Strategic Acquisition: Straightforward asset transaction positioned ahead of major drilling catalyst milestones.

For nearly a decade, the foundation of what became Solterra and the projects across Avalonia for epithermal gold and silver as part of the Dorsal Gold Antigonish regional play, includes proprietary data that identify further regional targets you won't find on government databases, complimenting the confirmed Shot Rock LSE Project previously held by Northern Shield Resources. The project is available for an easy earn in option deal as Solterra focuses on other projects. jburke@solterraco.ca #gold #silver #proprietarydata #data #mineralexploration #mining

Unlocking New Potential: The Shot Rock Gold Project. Geology is as much about looking in the right place as it is about applying the right model. In Nova Scotia, Solterra has long looked at the Meguma and other traditional terranes, but the Shot Rock Property located in the Antigonish Highlands shows the value of innovation and re-evaluation from previous holder Northern Shield and local prospecting. Shot Rock is significant not just for its gold potential, but for what it represents geologically: a low-sulphidation epithermal system. This style of mineralization was previously unrecognized in the province, opening up new exploration frontiers in Atlantic Canada. Key takeaways from this project: A New Model: Proof that modern exploration techniques can identify "hidden" deposit styles in established jurisdictions. Geological Context: Situated along the southern margin of Avalonia, the project showcases the potential of the Antigonish Highlands. Exploration Significance: The identification of textures like crustiform and colloform banding is critical for mapping these systems at depth. with up to 5 g/t Au at surface and 22 g/t Au in initial drilling, with completed CSAMT available for target identification outlining a silica cap and extensive cells, it is a very interesting project. It’s a great reminder that when we bring new eyes to old ground, the possibilities change. #Geology #MiningExploration #NovaScotia #ShotRock #EpithermalGold #Gold #Silver #MineralExploration #EconomicGeology

Proposition: Atlantic Canada #Epithermal #Gold #Silver Exploration Package Executive Summary: Atlantic Canada hosts one of the world's most significant—yet underexplored—Neoproterozoic epithermal gold corridors. This package offers a strategic entry into the Avalon Zone, a 3,000 km paleo-magmatic arc that shares a genetic blueprint with the high-output districts of the Pacific Rim and the Carolina Slate Belt. With Valentine Gold achieving its first pour in late 2025 and record gold prices exceeding $3,800/oz this year, the region has transitioned from a frontier play to a top-tier production hub. The Neoproterozoic Avalon BeltThe Avalon Belt is the northern continuation of the Carolina Slate Belt (USA). Strategic Insight: The Haile Mine (OceanaGold) demonstrates the potential of the Avalon; it was historically a small producer until deep drilling revealed massive, disseminated mineralization. Projects like Hickey's Pond and Big Easy exhibit the same surface "lithocap" signatures as Haile, suggesting the bulk of the gold remains untested at depth. Advantage: Unlike remote Northern Canadian plays, these projects are road-accessible, near deep-water ports, and connected to the provincial power grids. Production De-Risking: The first gold pour at Valentine Gold (Sept 14, 2025) and the advancement of Hope Brook to the PEA stage provide a clear pathway from exploration to cash flow. New Geological Models: The discovery of Shot Rock in Nova Scotia has opened an entirely new search space for low-sulphidation systems. Dorsal Gold a Solterra Project. jburke@solterraco.ca
