JUGGERNAUT REPORTS NEW HIGH-GRADE GOLD DISCOVERY ON THE 11 KM HIGHWAY OF GOLD WITH UP TO 79 G/T (2.54 OZ/T) GOLD FROM OVER 200 POLYMETALLIC VEINS IN THE ELDORADO PORPHYRY SYSTEM ON BIG ONE PROPERTY – DRILL READY - GOLDEN TRIANGLE, B.C. | | Vancouver, British Columbia – January 20, 2025 – Juggernaut Exploration Ltd (JUGR.V) (OTCQB: JUGRF) (FSE: 4JE) (the “Company” or “Juggernaut”) is pleased to report a new discovery with assays up to 79.01 g/t Au (2.54 oz/t Au) and 3157.89 g/t Ag (101.5 oz/t Ag), from >200 gold-silver-copper rich polymetallic veins up to 8 m wide and striking for up to 500 m that remain open. These veins were identified along the newly discovered 11 km Highway of Gold surrounding the Eldorado porphyry system on the Big One property; additional assays are pending. The discovery is located in a glacial and snowpack abatement area adjacent to the world-class gold-rich porphyry systems at Galore Creek. The property covers 33,693 hectares in world-class geologic terrain with tremendous additional discovery potential in the heart of the Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The Big One property is 100 % controlled by the B-ALL Syndicate, a private precious metals project generator of which Juggernaut Exploration is a significant stakeholder. BigOne Eldorado Map BigOne Video Dan Stuart, President and CEO of Juggernaut Exploration, states, “Results from 2024 B-ALL Syndicate exploration program far exceeded the technical team's expectations as demonstrated by the discovery of the extensive Eldorado porphyry system and the 11 km Highway of Gold on the Big One property that contains multiple high-grade gold-silver polymetallic veins on surface that remain open, are drill ready and indicated to be part of a much larger precious and base metal porphyry system or systems at depth. To have 100 % control over a district-scale property of this caliber located in world-class geologic terrane in close proximity to a tier 1 deposit the likes of Galore Creek is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With ~95 % of the Big One property remaining unexplored and hosting vast areas of newly exposed outcrop due to glacial and snowpack retreat, it provides for excellent additional discovery potential. Juggernaut’s management is pleased that the company has a significant stake in the B-ALL Syndicate and its assets as a project like Big One is a very rare opportunity that has already garnered significant interest from many key strategic investors and is certain to be fully funded, if not oversubscribed, by the company that is fortunate enough to have an option to earn a 100% interest in this amazing new discovery.” ELDORADO PORPHRYRY SYSTEM/ 11 KM HIGHWAY OF GOLD HIGHLIGHTS - Whopper vein: grab samples from 5 m wide quartz-sulphide vein hosted in an 8 m wide mineralized shear zone returned 13.12 g/t Au and 169.88 g/t Ag, as well as 10.62 g/t Au and 206.32 g/t Ag, and 6.01 g/t Au and 121.97 g/t Ag. The Whopper vein is exposed on surface for 100 m and remains open along strike where it goes under snowpack and ice. The quartz vein consists of lenses and seams of massive pyrite and galena contained in the quartz vein and stockwork. The high-grade Whopper vein’s geochemical and geophysical signatures are indicative of a porphyry source at depth. This target is drill ready.

- Eldorado consists of a high-grade polymetallic gold-silver zone named Highway of Gold that stretches 11 km and remains open on newly exposed bedrock along the fringes of the Geology Ridge icefield and Decker Creek glacier.
- Eldorado demarks an area of 7.5 Km2 of recently exposed bedrock containing substantial propylitic alteration, hydrothermal veining, and epithermal veining with >200 quartz-sulphide veins up to 8 m wide containing semi-massive to massive chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena with grades up to 79.01 g/t Au (2.54 oz/t Au) and 3157 g/t Ag (101.5 oz/t Ag), that remains open.
- The polymetallic veins, alteration signature, geochemical path finder element signature, and geophysical anomalies strongly indicate the presence of a common buried gold-silver-copper rich porphyry feeder source at depth responsible for the extensive high-grade veining confirmed on surface.
- The newly exposed Eldorado system contains >200 veins over an area of 1.2 km by 800 m that remains open. Within this zone, veins up to 8 m wide and striking up to 500 m were observed (Whopper vein), containing semi-massive to massive chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena, indicated to be the source of historic high-grade gold-silver angular float samples reported in the 1960s in the valley below. Both the zone and the system remain open and are drill ready.
- At least two extensive areas with strong porphyry potential have been identified where the distribution of geochemical path finder elements overlaps with strong geophysical anomalies as well as multiple gold-rich polymetallic veins in outcrop clearly corresponds to the typical signature observed within or in close proximity to a porphyry system.

The results from the August 2024 reconnaissance exploration program on the Big One property confirmed the excellent untapped exploration potential of the area with the discovery of the extensive high-grade Eldorado gold-silver-copper system found along the 11 km Highway of Gold in newly exposed outcrop around the fringes of the snowfields/glaciers. The Eldorado discovery is bordered by an extensive zone of propylitic alteration halo covering an area of 4 km by 1 km and porphyry textures in outcrop, which, coupled with buried geophysical anomalies and strong geochemical pathfinder element signatures, strongly indicates the presence of a large mineralizing (porphyry) system or systems at depth indicated to be the origin of the extensive high-grade gold, silver and copper mineralization confirmed in veins on surface over 11 km that remains open. The Big One property covers an area of 33,693 hectares of world-class geologic terrain in the heart of the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, Canada. The property is largely unexplored which only recently due to ongoing rapid glacial and snowpack abatement provided an opportunity to explore extensive areas of newly exposed outcrop providing strong potential for discovery today and into the future. The Eldorado system is indicated to be the source of angular float samples with grades up to 16.9 g/t Au and 49 g/t Ag discovered in the early 1960s. Eldorado corresponds to the location of the source that was suggested by renowned geologist and glaciation expert Dr. Richard E Kucera in 1990 to the west of the boulder field at an elevation of >4700 ft which at the time was covered by permanent snow and ice. BigOne Float Zone We have only just started to scratch the surface of the property and have likely only seen the tip of the iceberg. A number of mineralized occurrences including porphyry and extensive high-grade polymetallic veins were discovered on the Big One property clearly demonstrating the enormous untapped potential of this area that could quickly evolve into a new world-class discovery. Table 1: Assay highlights from the Big One property | | The Big One property is situated in a region that is well known for hosting world class precious metal and porphyry deposits, several of which occur near the property including the multiple porphyry systems at Galore Creek (12,159 million pounds of copper, 9.438 million ounces of gold, 174.086 million ounces of silver), the world’s largest known gold reserve at KSM (47.3 million ounces of gold, 160 million ounces of silver, 7.32 billion pounds of copper) and the polymetallic copper project at Shaft Creek (5 billion pounds of copper, 3.7 million ounces of gold, 16.4 million ounces of silver), as well as the Brucejack high-grade epithermal gold deposit (14 million ounces of gold, 91.8 million ounces of silver), and the structurally controlled high-grade hydrothermal gold-silver zones at Trophy and Sphal Creek. The property geology is favorable to host these types of deposits as confirmed by the presence of extensive areas of propylitic alteration, untested geophysical anomalies, strong silt, soil and rock geochemistry including path finder elements directly related to porphyry systems, key structures and textures, porphyry-style mineralization, and high-grade polymetallic veins, that have been discovered within the Big One claims. BigOne Property Map The Big One property can be accessed year-round via helicopter from the Glenora/Telegraph Creek Road at the Barrington Mine (33 km to the north-northeast) as well as the Galore Creek Road (15 km to the southeast). The Canadian government committed $20 M to extend/improve the Galore Creek Road to within 15 km of the Big One property. The property is 2 km west of the Scud River airstrip used in the early days of Galore Creek. The Big One property exploration qualifies for the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC).
