    Drilling to resume later in the year. Maple Gold has been undertaking a systematic compilation and review of its technical database associated with its 400 square kilometer property package. Maple Gold’s technical team is nearing completion of a new three-dimensional litho-structural model to support a focused ranking and prioritization of property-wide drill targets to be tested later this year. Maple also initiated high resolution drone magnetic surveys in selected areas which will be completed in the second quarter of 2024.

    Significant depth potential at Douay. The 2022 Douay mineral resource estimate addressed optimizing complementary open-pit and underground scenarios. Resources below the pit have significant potential for expansion given the limited amount of drilling below approximately 300 meters vertical depth. Deep drilling in 2023 confirmed continuity of the mineralized system at depth. Maple Gold intends to increase the underground gold resource to two million ounces largely by drilling near and below the base of the pit.

    Release – Maple Gold Provides Operational Update And Announces Annual Equity Incentive Plan Grants

    Posted on by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

    Research News and Market Data on MGMLF

    Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 30, 2024) – Maple Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: MGM) (OTCQB: MGMLF) (FSE: M3G) (“Maple Gold” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an operational update related to the advancement of the Company’s gold projects located in Québec, Canada. Consistent with the Company’s value-oriented exploration strategy, the ongoing synthesis and reinterpretation of multiple exploration datasets by the Company’s revamped technical team is nearing completion, while management continues to significantly reduce costs and preserve capital as demonstrated in the Company’s audited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company also announces that its Board of Directors has approved the issuance of annual equity incentive grants to certain employees, officers, directors and consultants.

    Operational Update

    Since late 2023, Maple Gold has been engaged in a systematic review and compilation of the extensive technical database on its entire ~400 km2 property package that straddles the fertile Casa Berardi Break and contains an established near-surface, multi-million ounce gold mineral resource as well as a past-producing high-grade gold mine complex. This critical re-evaluation is aimed at integrating all available geological, geophysical, geochemical and drilling data to improve target generation and drive exploration results. The Company’s technical team is nearing completion of a new 3D litho-structural model based on selective core relogging within mineralized zones, updated level plans, longitudinal and cross-sections, and detailed geophysical and geochemical data analysis that will support the focused ranking and prioritization of property-wide drill targets to be tested later this year. As part of this exercise, the Company has also initiated high-resolution drone magnetic surveys in selected areas, which will be completed in the next following weeks.

    “With the support of our partner and key stakeholders, we have seized this golden opportunity to reposition the Company for future success by delivering a high-quality exploration model supported by a wealth of technical data while simultaneously right-sizing our business,” stated Kiran Patankar, President and CEO of Maple Gold. “We believe as strongly as ever in the compelling discovery potential offered by our strategically located district-scale gold projects. The culmination of these efforts is well-timed amid surging gold prices and increasing investment focus on organic growth through the drill bit.”

    The Company has engaged with notable geological, geophysical and geochemical specialists to assist with the ongoing interpretation of the vast amount of exploration data that has been collected by Maple Gold and others over the past 50 years. This includes current members of the Company’s Technical Committee: Dr. Gérald Riverin, Mr. Maurice Tagami, P.Eng. and Mr. Paul Harbidge. The results of the geologic reinterpretation are being finalized and will be reported shortly. Drilling is expected to recommence later this year with full details to be provided in subsequent announcements.

    Annual Equity Incentive Plan Grants

    Pursuant to its Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) dated December 17, 2020, as amended, and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company’s Board of Directors granted stock options (“Options”), Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) and Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) to certain employees, officers, directors and consultants. The Company granted Options to purchase an aggregate of 4,000,000 common shares of the Company (each, a “Common Share”), with an exercise price of $0.08 per Common Share. Each Option grant vests in three equal tranches over a 24-month period. Once vested, each Option is exercisable into one Common Share for a period of five years from the date of the grant.

    About Maple Gold

    Maple Gold Mines Ltd. is a Canadian advanced exploration company in a 50/50 joint venture with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited to jointly advance the district-scale Douay and Joutel gold projects located in Québec’s prolific Abitibi Greenstone Gold Belt. The projects benefit from exceptional infrastructure access and boast ~400 km2 of highly prospective ground including an established gold resource at Douay (SLR 2022) that holds significant expansion potential as well as the past-producing Telbel and Eagle West mines at Joutel. In addition, the Company holds an exclusive option to acquire 100% of the Eagle Mine Property, a key part of the historical Joutel mining complex.

    The district-scale property package also hosts a significant number of regional exploration targets along a 55-km strike length of the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone that have yet to be tested through drilling, making the project ripe for new gold and polymetallic discoveries. The Company is well capitalized and is currently focused on carrying out exploration and drill programs to grow resources and make new discoveries to establish an exciting new gold district in the heart of the Abitibi.

    Outlook for 2024. Since his appointment as CEO, Mr. Kiran Patankar has re-oriented and re-positioned the company for successful outcomes by expanding the geological team, taking an axe to corporate general and administrative expenses, and strengthening the data driven exploration program to refine the targeting process. Maple Gold is in the process of updating three dimensional models for Douay and Joutel and prioritizing targets. The next phase of drilling is expected to commence this year, along with a follow-up program at Eagle. We expect more details regarding the next phase of drilling in April.

    Technical bench strength. Maple Gold recently added three members to its geological team, including Mr. Daniel Johansson, Senior Exploration Geologist, Mr. Remi Clairet, Project Geologist, and Mr. Jackie Long, Database and Modeling. We think the collaborative effort of an expanded team, along with managing its database in-house, will sharpen and enhance the accuracy of target generation. The team will work in close collaboration with Agnico Eagle’s exploration team.

    Year-end shareholder letter. In a year-end letter to shareholders, Maple Gold’s CEO summarized key priorities and reasons for optimism in 2024. Coupled with productive drill programs in 2023, the company has made significant technical progress by leveraging its extensive database to develop drill targets that are supported by geologic and economic criteria. Management views drilling success as the clearest path to shareholder value creation and expects to elaborate on its exploration plans in early January.

    Themes for 2024. Key themes for 2024 include adopting a value-oriented approach to exploration and prudent capital management. Corporate overhead costs are down significantly, and shareholders can anticipate further reductions going forward. As of September 30, Maple Gold Mines reported cash and cash equivalents amounting to C$4.4 million and marketable securities amounting to C$336.4 thousand. Approximately C$6.0 million remains available from Agnico Eagle to fund Douay-Joutel joint venture exploration through January 2025.

    Board appointment. Mr. Kiran Patankar has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and has joined the company’s Board of Directors. He has served as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer since August. Mr. Patankar has led the execution of Maple Gold’s updated corporate strategy, which includes a detailed assessment of the company’s district-scale projects. We believe he will reshape the company into a leaner and more focused entity with an emphasis on value-added exploration.

    Reining in costs. In 2020, 2021, and 2022, Maple Gold’s general and administrative expenses were C$3.0 million, C$4.9 million, and C$5.9 million, respectively, and C$2.8 million for the first six months of 2023. Third quarter G&A expenses were $0.4 million. Based on third quarter financials, Mr. Patankar is making excellent progress reducing corporate overhead costs. As the operating partner, we expect the company to be judicious with its capital and that of its joint venture partner, Agnico Eagle Mines. As of September 30, Maple Gold Mines reported cash and cash equivalents amounting to C$4.4 million and marketable securities amounting to C$336.4 thousand. Approximately $6.0 million of Douay-Joutel joint venture funding remains available through January 2025 from Agnico Eagle.
