Staghorn Gold Project

Quadro Resources is focused on the gold rich Cape Ray Fault system, described as one of the most prospective but underexplored regions in Canada. Its main asset is a 100% interest in the Staghorn gold project. Located in west-central Newfoundland, the Staghorn and Long Lake properties cover portions of the auriferous Cape Ray Fault system which hosts a number of active gold exploration programs. Quadro signed a definitive option agreement in June 2022 with TRU Precious Metals Corp. ("TRU") pursuant to which TRU has been granted the option to earn up to an aggregate 65% ownership in Quadro's Staghorn project.

The Staghorn project is a claim package of 133 claim units in eight mineral licenses covering 3,325 hectares (33.25 sq. km) with a 12 km strike length of the auriferous Cape Ray Fault Zone. The Staghorn project is comprised of two distinct groups of licenses which are immediately within and/or adjacent to TRU’s flagship Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”). Golden Rose is a regional-scale land package covering approximately 264.25 sq. km in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt, including approximately 45 km of strike length along the deposit-bearing Cape Ray - Valentine Lake Shear Zone. In August 2024 TRU entered into a definitive earn-in agreement with El Dorado Gold Corporation. Under this agreement, El Dorado Gold has been granted an exclusive option to earn an 80% ownership interest in TRU’s Golden Rose Project.

The Marks Pond Gold Horizon has been extended to over 600m in strike length and has proven continuity down dip. The most significant aspect of 2021 was the discovery of a lower zone of high-grade mineralization with visible gold below the main zone.

Quadro’s drilling to date:

  • Jul-Oct 2021 – 891 meters in four holes. A high of 29.1 g/t Au over 0.35 m within a 57.0 m wide zone grading 0.33 g/t Au; 1.95g/t Au over 6 m; 1.1 g/t Au over 5.0 m including 1.8 g/t Au over 3.0 m.
  • Feb-Apr 2021 – 1403 meters in ten holes, all targeted on the Marks Pond gold zone. The drilling consisted of a series of 50-meter spaced step-out and undercut holes to the northeast of the discovery hole MP20-02. The hole intersected a gold zone assaying 3.22 g/t Au over 5.0 m, within a wider intersection of 1.98 g/t Au over 12.0 m. Another hole intersected 20.37 g/t Au over 0.5 m and 3.89 g/t Au over 2.5 m in undercut drill holes.
  • Sep-Dec 2020 – 1696 meters in thirteen holes. The drilling tested two of four soil anomalies in the Marks Pond area. The highlight of the program was the discovery of a new gold zone at Mark’s Pond where hole MP20-02 intersected 10.1 g/t over 1.0m within a wider interval of 3.22 g/t Au over 5.0 m.
  • Nov-Dec 2018 – 887 meters in five holes focused on completing a fence of holes across the Cape Ray structure at Ryan’s Hammer, Staghorn. This drilling combined with previous drilling to the east partially outlined two wide gold trends with only one drill cut in each trend.
  • Nov-Dec 2017 – 1466 meters in nine holes focused on the Woods Lake Zone, Staghorn. This program confirmed the widespread extent of an auriferous altered granodiorite within a flexure of the Cape Ray fault and required additional drilling to better define higher grade zones within the package.

QA/QC – Quadro has implemented a quality control program on its drill programs at the Staghorn project to ensure best practice in sampling and analysis. Quadro maintains strict quality assurance/quality control protocols including the systematic insertion of certified standard reference and blank materials into each sample batch. Analyses were performed by Actlabs of Ancaster, ON, with ISO 17025 accreditation. All samples were assayed using industry-standard assay techniques for gold. Gold was analyzed by a standard 30 gram fire assay with an AA finish.
