Adeline Project Highlights:

District-Scale in Safe, Stable Jurisdiction. The 297 km2 Adeline Project is prospective for sediment hosted copper mineralization, which is notable for its high grade and lateral continuity. The district-scale Project hosts more than 250 known copper occurrences - part of the well mineralized Adeline Island Formation (Figure 2). The property is located in Labrador, Canada - highly ranked by the Fraser Institute for its investment attractiveness.

Recent Sampling Confirms High-Grade Copper in Drill-Ready Locations. Mapping and sampling undertaken by Chesterfield Resources in 2021 has confirmed the presence of high-grade copper mineralization at multiple key prospect areas (Table 1).

Robust Databank. Historical mapping, sampling and geophysical data has been compiled into a modern, robust databank, which will facilitate the identification of further, high-priority drill target areas, as well as under explored portions of the Project.

Nav Dhaliwal, Interim President and CEO for Pacton, commented, "We are thrilled to be acquiring the Adeline high-grade copper project. This is an ideal property for our technical team. Adeline has proven, high-grade copper showings which have been analyzed and prioritized to generate drill ready targets, and we also have a large databank ready for additional target generation. Essentially, we are taking on a district-scale copper project that is primed for rapid exploration."
