\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Gayna Project is approximately 180 km west of Norman Wells, NWT, and 180 km north of Fireweed\u2019s Macpass Project (Yukon), is located within the Sahtu Settlement Area, the Gwich\u2019in Settlement Area and the asserted territory of the First Nation of Na-Cho Ny\u00e4k Dun. In 2022, Fireweed staked the ~128 km2<\/sup>\u00a0project area encompassing all historical showings and anomalies. The extensive area of mineralization was outlined by 28,000 m of wide-spaced, historical drilling completed by Rio Tinto in the 1970s.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRecent studies by Fireweed indicate potential for high-grade massive sulphide targets. Ground gravity, airborne LiDAR and orthophoto surveys led to several gravity-high anomalies located over the inferred position of carbonate rocks along reef-margins. Collected rock samples have high zinc, silver, and lead concentrations, along with elevated concentrations of gallium and germanium, illustrating the potential for an undiscovered source(s) of high-grade massive sulphides along the margins of the reef areas.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

 A geophysical program conducted in 2022 by Fireweed identified two broad areas with gravity anomalies, similar to Kipushi-style targets. A ground gravity geophysical survey completed in summer 2023 successfully identified new anomalies, refined existing anomalies, and will inform future plans for drilling at target areas.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Fireweed proposes to test a new geological concept for Gayna by undertaking a small drill program in the near future. Drilling will verify if high-grade massive sulphide zones exist near the margins of ancient carbonate reefs. Fireweed plans to engage with Indigenous groups and government entities and apply for activity-enabling permits (e.g., Type A Land Use Permit for drilling). Fireweed will conduct its proposed exploration program sustainably in accordance with all approvals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
