A 21.3 line-kilometre CSAMT and natural source AMT geophysical survey has been completed at the Mizobe Project in Kyushu, Japan, providing subsurface resistivity imaging across the project. Results were integrated with gravity and magnetic inversion models, structural interpretations and 2023 and 2025 drilling results to produce a refined geological model, which will be used to refine targets and finalize a multi-target drill program. Mizobe lies about 23 kilometres south of the Hishikari Mine; prior drilling returned 10.0 metres at 4.27 g/t gold from 122.75 metres in MZDD23-003.

A 37.6 line-kilometre 3D induced polarization and resistivity survey covering an 8 km by 5 km area at the Bajo Project in Japan was completed between February and May 2026, identifying multiple chargeability and resistivity anomalies with interpreted strike lengths exceeding 1 km. The survey characterized known veins including the Sakuru-Hi vein, which historically reported grades up to 125.9 g/t Au and 557 g/t Ag. Next steps are target prioritization and planning of a diamond drilling program.
