Bulk sample results from 2024 suggest an average grade of 0.016 oz/st Au (0.55 g/mt Au) and an expected recovery of ~70% via conventional heap leaching. The two-stage crushing is targeted to continue through to Q4 2025, while gold pours are expected to continue to mid-2026, at the least. While Borealis expects to issue guidance on the restart of blasting and mining separately, the tentative target for this restart is also Q4 2025.
Kelly Malcolm, CEO of Borealis, states, "I'm very happy to see execution of the stockpile crushing program starting ahead of schedule, with the process running flawlessly so far. This is a meaningful revenue-generating exercise, and also provides us with a low-risk confirmatory test of our plant and procedures, ahead of upcoming genuine mining. I'd to thank our operations team and our contractor, Remington, for a smooth start. We are very excited to see substantial gold pours in the very short term."
Please see the Company's April 22, 2025 press release for details on the bulk sample and details on plans for upcoming production from the Borealis Mine.

Borealis Mine
The Borealis mine property, located close to the town of Hawthorne, NV, is fully permitted and equipped for present mine operations and future expansion, with existing open pits, heap leach pads, modern infrastructure, and a functional ADR facility which produces doré bars. The project has historically produced over 600,000 ounces of gold from an open pit heap leach operation. It is an under-explored property and has not been drilled since 2011, aside from Borealis' efforts in 2024 and 2025. The property possesses high grade expansion potential with excellent historical drilling results, along with a number of untested regional targets.
The Borealis Project holds existing federal and state permits for mining and processing operations. However, certain permit modifications may be required for expanded production, and the timeline for such approvals is subject to regulatory review. The Company cannot guarantee the timing or success of any permit modifications that may be required for future expansions.
About Borealis
Borealis is a gold mining and exploration company focused on exploration and resumption of production of the Borealis Mine in Nevada and the advancement of its Sandman project also in Nevada. The Borealis Mine is a fully permitted mine site, equipped with active heap leach pads, an ADR facility, and all necessary infrastructure to support a heap leach gold mining operation. In addition to the mine, the property, comprised of 815 unpatented mining claims of approximately 20 acres each totaling approximately 16,300 acres and one unpatented mill site claim of about five acres located in western Nevada, is highly prospective for additional high-sulfidation gold mineralization. The Sandman project, recently acquired through the acquisition of Gold Bull Resources Inc., is an advanced exploration project with a recently completed (2021) NI 43-101 compliant resource and a recent (2023) Preliminary Economic Assessment which indicates compelling economics, particularly in light of the increase in commodity prices since publication of the study. Borealis is led by a strong board and management team, many of whom have founded, managed, and sold highly successful mining and exploration companies.

Canada's Couche-Tard says U.S. store divestment plan clears path for Seven & i deal
Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. said several potential buyers have made proposals to acquire convenience stores in the U.S. that overlap with Seven & i Holdings Co., showing progress toward a deal that could help the Canadian retailer win regulatory approval for its proposal to buy its Japanese rival. Article content The two agreed earlier this year to discuss the potential divestment of more than 2,000 stores in the U.S. and seek out interested parties in order to address concerns by Seven & i over a merger being blocked by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. Couche-Tard also pushed back against any parallels to the failed $24.6 billion merger of grocery chains Kroger Co. and Albertsons Cos. Article content Article content Seven & i, which operates 7-Eleven, Speedway and Sunoco stores, has pushed back against Couche-Tard's unsolicited ¥7.39 trillion ($51.3 billion) takeover proposal and is overhauling its business under new Chief Executive Officer Stephen Dacus to raise its value. Despite the resistance, Couche-Tard, the parent company of Circle K, has advanced discussions by securing a non-disclosure agreement two months ago to gain access to financial information and potentially raise its bid. Article content Article content 'We have received multiple indicative proposals from highly experienced and credible buyers,' Couche-Tard said on a website it set up to explain its proposal to buy Seven & i. 'We believe the actionable, strong and broad level of interest so far clearly demonstrates that we have several clear paths to consummate the required divestitures and complete the transaction.' Article content Several private equity firms have shown strong interest in buying the assets, Filipe Da Silva, Couche-Tard's chief financial officer, said in March. Article content Couche-Tard also addressed some concerns over a potential merger by highlighting the differences between its proposal and the scuppered combination of Kroger and Albertsons. The FTC blocked the deal on antitrust grounds last year, saying that the divestiture plan was insufficient; Seven & i cited this as a high-risk factor for getting a deal with Couche-Tard approved. Article content 'The convenience store industry in the U.S. is highly fragmented and competitive,' Couche-Tard said. 'The combination of Couche-Tard and Seven & i results in a business with less than 13% of U.S. convenience stores.' Article content The Canadian retailer also reiterated that it has put 'forth a compelling reverse termination fee' in the event of a transaction not going through.

Alberta man celebrates second scratch and win lottery win this year
A Lethbridge man is celebrating his second big win on a scratch and win ticket this year. James Hill won $200,000 on a $10 scratch ticket he purchased in February, and now he's won $100,000 on a Poker Lotto scratch ticket. Hill says it took him a minute to believe what he saw when he scanned the ticket. 'I couldn't read the screen at first,' he said in a Thursday news release. 'I had to scan it three times and then have the cashier scan it for me again.' Hill says after his first scratch and win success he had hoped to purchase a new vehicle and put what was left over into savings. This time around he says he's going to put the money in the bank and 'just relax.' Hill bought his winning ticket from the Circle K on Highlands Road in Lethbridge. He won by matching all five cards drawn on the May 14 nightly draw – the queen of spades, four of clubs, seven of clubs, ace of diamonds and seven of diamonds.

New Sydney, N.S., bookstore plans to stay on the same page
A few months ago, Mads Grace came home from work and her fiancée Katharine Hubbert asked a question that would change their lives. 'My fiancée said, 'What if we try to buy the bookstore?'' Grace said. 'I'd been thinking the same thing.' Grace had been working at On Paper Books in Sydney, N.S., for a year when her boss told her she was planning on closing the shop to pursue a Bachelor of Education. The independent bookstore had been open since December 2020, building up a solid following among bibliophiles in the region. 'She was hoping she could find someone keep to the indie bookstore scene alive,' Grace said. 'I didn't jump on it right away.' After talking about it with her fiancée, Grace decided to reach out to the owner about the logistics of taking over the store. 'We had a lot of meetings and phone calls with every person you can imagine,' Grace said. 'We kept it a secret for about two months as we were behind the scenes figuring things out.' Grace said she got back into the habit of reading by working at the shop. She wants her store, which has been renamed On the Same Page, to offer something for every kind of reader. 'Whether you're an avid reader or more casual and want to take your book to the beach,' she said. 'Our used book section is still strong. There are a lot of the same things, but we've added a lot more children's books, teen and young adult reads. 'There are more laid back, lighthearted novels as well. We've added a stationary section.' On the Same Page On the Same Page is having its grand opening this weekend. (Source: Mads Grace) Grace said they have been in contact with local artists to feature their work at the store. 'Ninety-nine per cent of our things are made in Canada and half are made in Nova Scotia,' she said. On the Same Page will have its grand opening at 311 Charlotte St. from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. Grace said they plan to be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday this summer. Bookstore owners Mads Grace, left, and her fiancée Katharine Hubbert are pictured. (Source: Mads Grace) For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
