The Company recorded no revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 as it continued its focus of advancing the Woodstock Project, which includes the Plymouth and Hartford deposits, in Woodstock, New Brunswick.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a loss of $356,053 compared to a loss of $444,340 for the same quarter in 2021. The loss in the current quarter included non-cash share based compensation expense of $90,336 and $78,173 of income recognized on the reversal of flow-through share premium liability.

Current assets at September 30, 2022 were $1,990,391, including $1,730,162 of cash, compared to current assets of $6,204,163 and cash of $6,002,675 at December 31, 2021. Current liabilities were $578,804 at September 30, 2022, compared to current liabilities of $1,380,170 at December 31, 2021.

During the quarter the Company invested $614,669 in its mineral properties, including $431,503 in the Woodstock Project, principally in drilling and related activities.

RECENT ACTIVITIES

From November 2021 to April 2022, the Company conducted a comprehensive infill diamond drilling program to further define and increase the confidence level of the mineral resource within the Plymouth deposit in support of an updated mineral resource estimate with the objective to upgrade much of the current Inferred mineral resource estimate to the Measured and Indicated categories.

The Company is very pleased with the results of the infill drilling and resource expansion program (as reported in the Company's news release dated August 11, 2022), as the results confirmed the grades, widths, and near-surface positioning of the mineralization. The Company is currently incorporating the infill drilling results into an updated mineral resource estimate and anticipates the positive impacts will highlight the outstanding fundamentals of the Plymouth deposit.

In July 2022, the Company conducted an initial diamond drilling program on the adjacent North Hartford deposit, specifically to test the historical geological assumptions made regarding this deposit. The results of this drilling program are currently pending.

Throughout the summer of 2022 the Company completed feasibility level baseline environmental work on site at the Plymouth deposit. Such baseline work will be a component of an Environmental Impact Statement anticipated to be submitted in 2023.
