Significant Resource Expansion Announced at AurMac Gold Project, Yukon

CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 1, 2023 / Eagle Royalties Ltd. ("Eagle Royalties") (CSE:ER.CN) has learned of a significant increase in an inferred resource at the AurMac Project in central Yukon from public announcements made recently by Banyan Gold Corp. Eagle Royalties owns royalty interests ranging from 0.5% to 2.0% on certain claims which comprise a portion of the AurMac Project.

As announced in a news release dated May 24^th, 2023, Banyan reported "an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (the "MRE" or the "Mineral Resource") prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") for the Aurex ‎and McQuesten properties (together, the "AurMac Property")‎ ‎located in the Mayo Mining ‎District, approximately 56 kilometres ("km") northeast from the village of Mayo, Yukon, and 356 ‎km north of Whitehorse, Yukon. ‎

The updated MRE comprises a total Inferred Mineral Resource (as defined in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Definition ‎Standards for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves incorporated by reference into NI 43‑101) of 6.2 million ‎ounces of gold on the near-surface, road accessible AurMac Property". Additional information is expected to be included in a NI 43-101 Technical Report to be filed on SEDAR with 45 days of the May 24^th announcement.

Constrained Inferred Mineral Resources - AurMac Property

The effective date for the Mineral Resource is May 18, 2023. Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, changes in global gold markets or other relevant issues. The CIM Definition Standards were followed for classification of Mineral Resources. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Mineral Resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature ‎and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred Mineral Resources as an ‎Indicated Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an ‎Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource category. Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.25 g/t Au for the Airstrip and Powerline and 0.3 g/t Au for the Aurex Hill deposits, using a US$/CAN$ exchange rate of 0.75 and constrained within an open pit shell optimized with the Lerchs-Grossman algorithm to constrain the Mineral Resources with the following estimated parameters: gold price of US$1,800/ounce, US$2.50/t mining cost, US$5.50/t processing cost, UD$2.00/t G+A, 80% heap leach recoveries, and 45° pit slope. The number of tonnes was rounded to the nearest hundred thousand. The number of ounces was rounded to the nearest thousand. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects; rounding followed the recommendations as per NI 43-101.

Tim Termuende, President and CEO of Eagle Royalties commented recently on the announcement: "We applaud the efforts and significant achievements of Banyan's management and technical team in the advances made at AurMac. As Banyan remains focused on growth in 2023, we look forward to future results from this important project".

Eagle Royalties management is in the process of assessing the impact of the resource increase on mineral tenures subject to the Eagle Royalties NSR's, if any, but initial information indicates an increase in inferred resource estimate pit extent over claims subject to the various Eagle Royalties' NSR's.
