Golden Promise Mines Inc. has approval from the Newfoundland and Labrador government for up to seven trenches within this southwest region of the Golden Promise Property, all within Mineral Licence 036105M (see Company News Release of May 21 st, 2025). The approved trenches are in two target areas in this region.
The initial trenches will be excavated within an area of gold soil anomalies (up to 77 parts per billion gold (ppb)) and anomalous gold (+/- anomalous copper) in rock samples (glacial float, subcrop and bedrock) based on previous sampling by Great Atlantic and Golden Promise Mines Inc. Golden Promise Mines Inc. collected rock samples anomalous for gold +/- anomalous copper from two trenches in this area during 2024 (see Company News Release of February 12 th, 2025), including:
2024 Trench #1:
309464 (float): 0.964 grams / tonne (g/t) gold.
309466 (subcrop): 0.463 g/t gold and 4,287 ppm copper (0.428% Cu).
309469 (outcrop): 0.481 g/t gold, >6.0 g/t silver and >10,000 ppm copper (> 1% Cu).
2024 Trench #2:
309472 (float): 0.420 g/t gold.
309473 (outcrop): 0.323 g/t gold.
309474 (float): 0.196 g/t gold and 5,370 ppm copper (0.537% Cu).

The initial two trenches of the current program will include a trench between the two 2024 trenches and a trench west of 2024 Trench 2. The third and fourth planned trenches will be located further south within approximately 250 meters of 2024 Trench No. 2 in an area of gold soil anomalies (identified during Great Atlantic's 2018 and 2020 exploration programs).
Three trenches are also planned during 2025 approximately one kilometer further north in an area of gold soil anomalies identified during 2024 along a reconnaissance soil sampling traverse, including three consecutive samples (approximately 25 meters sample spacing) which returned anomalous gold values of 44 ppb, 53 ppb and 83 ppb. Some 2024 soil samples in this area also returned anomalous values for copper (up to 121 parts per million (ppm)), molybdenum (up to 44 ppm) and antimony (up to 28 ppm).
The Golden Promise Property is the largest and most advanced of six central Newfoundland gold properties owned by Golden Promise Mines Inc. and located within the Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone. One of these properties (Golden Trust) is located within one kilometer of the Valentine Gold Mine of Calibre Mining Corp. which is also located within the Exploits Subzone. Readers are warned that mineralization at the Valentine Gold Mine is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at the Golden Promise Property or any of the other central Newfoundland gold properties of Golden Promise Mines Inc.

Alberta resumes buying U.S. alcohol and gambling machines, months after pause meant to fight tariffs
Alberta is buying American alcohol and gambling machines again, three months after Premier Danielle Smith announced restrictions aimed at fighting back against U.S. tariffs. Service Alberta Minister Dale Nally says the move signals a 'renewed commitment to open and fair trade' with the United States. Smith said in March that the province would no longer buy U.S. alcohol and video lottery terminals, or sign contracts with American companies. That came a day after U.S. President Donald Trump slapped heavy tariffs on Canadian goods and energy. Nally says the decision to resume buying U.S. alcohol and gambling machines 'sets the stage for more constructive negotiations' ahead of a renewal of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement. Ontario, Manitoba reach internal trade agreement, promise alcohol sales deal by end of June The minister says Albertans are encouraged to continue supporting local producers, even as more U.S. options return to store shelves. Nally said in April that the province was pausing its policy around procurement from U.S. companies 'in the spirit of diplomacy.' He said since the province's retaliatory measures were first announced in early March, the Trump administration had put a hold on further tariffs.

Laval and police brotherhood sign ‘bold' new collective agreement
The City of Laval and the Police Brotherhood signed a new collective agreement for the Laval Police Service on Friday—a deal Mayor Stéphane Boyer described as 'fairly bold, fairly innovative compared to other police forces.' The agreement, in principle, was ratified by 78 per cent of the police brotherhood's members. It includes the transfer of certain administrative duties to civilian staff, freeing up 20,000 additional investigative hours for police officers—at a lower cost to the city. The new contract also introduces the deployment of cadets across Laval to manage traffic, representing another salary-saving measure for the municipality. In terms of compensation, the agreement includes salary increases totalling 22.2 per cent over five years. This figure combines base wage hikes with 'urban security premiums' tied to the unique challenges officers face in large urban centres. The city also aimed to boost police presence on the streets to strengthen residents' sense of safety. In an interview, Mayor Boyer said he was particularly proud of the deal. 'What we were looking for was greater efficiency and more officers on the streets. This agreement allows us to achieve that. And in my view, it's quite a bold and innovative deal compared to other police forces—recovering thousands of hours of investigation and street presence. We're really pleased with the outcome, and I think it's going to be a win-win, both for the officers and for the public,' said Boyer. Sylvain Tardif, president of the Laval Police Brotherhood, also welcomed the new agreement, saying it 'recognizes the dedication and professionalism officers bring to their work every day in keeping Laval residents safe.' 'The new contract offers working conditions that reflect the growing responsibilities of our officers, who work in a complex environment and are facing an evolving and increasingly sophisticated criminal landscape,' Tardif added. Pierre Brochet, director of the Laval Police Service, also noted that the new agreement will allow police to 'fight crime more effectively, while ensuring a stronger presence in the community.' The collective agreement will be in effect from Jan. 1, 2024, to Dec. 31, 2028. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on June 6, 2025. By Lia Lévesque, The Canadian Press
