Blue Jay Gold acquires Skukum Gold Project in Canada from Tincorp Metals
Blue Jay Gold has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Whitehorse Gold, a subsidiary of Tincorp Metals, which holds the Skukum Gold Project in Yukon, Canada. The transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025 (Q3 2025), subject to certain conditions and approvals. Under the terms of the agreement, Blue Jay will pay Tincorp C$300,000 ($219,016) in cash and/or equity at closing, with an additional C$275,000 due on the one-year anniversary. Blue Jay Gold CEO Geordie Mark said: 'The Blue Jay team is thrilled to be assuming stewardship of the Skukum Au-Ag Project, a large-scale, high potential asset spanning approximately 170km². 'The project already hosts close to one million ounces of gold-equivalent resources and benefits from excellent existing infrastructure, which positions us well to advance it efficiently and responsibly. This acquisition aligns perfectly with our philosophy of conducting greenfields exploration in brownfields environments, similar to our current portfolio of projects in Ontario, where we see real opportunity to unlock value through focused, cost-effective work.' A C$25,000 deposit was previously made by Blue Jay upon signing a letter of intent. Furthermore, Blue Jay has committed to an incentive payment of $5/oz of gold equivalent identified beyond two million ounces (moz) within five years, as per an updated technical report. The acquisition also includes an obligation for Blue Jay to manage the reclamation of the project site, which features a 50-man camp, geological facilities, a process plant and exploration roads. The reclamation is associated with an approximately C$2.93m security demand from the Yukon Government. Blue Jay must secure capital to meet this demand as part of the transaction conditions. Tincorp interim CEO Victor Feng said: 'This transaction represents an important step forward in Tincorp's strategy to sharpen our focus on our Bolivian projects and pursue new exploration and acquisition opportunities. 'It also ensures that the Skukum Gold Project is transferred to a steward looking to undertake responsible exploration in the Yukon. At the same time, the transaction allows us to retain potential upside exposure to the project through a prospective equity interest in Blue Jay, a company focused on conducting lower-cost, responsible exploration across its gold projects in Ontario and now the Yukon." Blue Jay Gold recently completed a spin-out of Riverside resources and the latter recently announced the successful distribution of Blue Jay Gold shares to its shareholders following a spin-out arrangement effective 22 May 2025. Shareholders received one Riverside share and one-fifth of a Blue Jay share for each share held.

Tincorp Announces Acquisition of Skukum Gold Project by Blue Jay Gold
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 4, 2025) - Tincorp Metals Inc. (TSXV: TIN) (OTCQX: TINFF) ("Tincorp" or the "Company") and Blue Jay Gold Corp. ("Blue Jay"), a private reporting issuer recently spun out of Riverside Resources Inc., are pleased to announce that the parties have entered into a binding share purchase agreement (the "Agreement") dated June 3, 2025 for the proposed sale (the "Transaction") of Tincorp's wholly owned subsidiary, Whitehorse Gold (Yukon) Corp. ("Whitehorse Gold"). Whitehorse Gold holds a 100% interest in the Skukum Gold Project (the "Project") located in Yukon, Canada. "The Blue Jay team is thrilled to be assuming stewardship of the Skukum Au-Ag Project, a large-scale, high potential asset spanning approximately 170 km2," said Geordie Mark, CEO of Blue Jay Gold Corp. Geordie Mark continued, "The Project already hosts close to one million ounces of gold-equivalent resources and benefits from excellent existing infrastructure, which positions us well to advance it efficiently and responsibly. This acquisition aligns perfectly with our philosophy of conducting greenfields exploration in brownfields environments, similar to our current portfolio of projects in Ontario, where we see real opportunity to unlock value through focused, cost-effective work. "In our view, Canada is the best mining jurisdiction in the world, and securing a project of this calibre in the Yukon is a major win for Blue Jay. We believe this is a timely and strategic investment that will not only create long-term value for our shareholders but also contribute meaningfully to the local economy and broader stakeholder base." "This transaction represents an important step forward in Tincorp's strategy to sharpen our focus on our Bolivian projects and pursue new exploration and acquisition opportunities," said Victor Feng, Interim CEO of Tincorp. "It also ensures that the Skukum Gold Project is transferred to a steward looking to undertake responsible exploration in the Yukon. At the same time, the Transaction allows us to retain potential upside exposure to the Project through a prospective equity interest in Blue Jay, a company focused on conducting lower-cost, responsible exploration across its gold projects in Ontario and now the Yukon." Under the terms of the Agreement, at closing of the Transaction, Blue Jay, will pay C$300,000 cash and/or equity, at Blue Jay's election, to Tincorp. Another C$275,000 cash and/or equity payment will be made by Blue Jay to Tincorp on the one-year anniversary of the closing of the Agreement. Blue Jay previously advanced a C$25,000 cash deposit to Tincorp upon the execution of a letter of intent in respect of the Transaction. In addition, Blue Jay has agreed to pay an incentive payment comprised of $5 per ounce of gold equivalent ("AuEq") in excess of a cumulative total of 2 million ounces AuEq identified on the Project within 5 years of the closing date of the Transaction, as determined based on an updated technical report to be prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects by Blue Jay. The incentive amount payable by Blue Jay will be paid in cash and/or shares at Blue Jay's discretion within 90 days of the 5 -year anniversary of the closing date and is subject to adjustment based on remediation expenditures incurred by Blue Jay in excess of the amount of the Security Demand (see below). Completion of the transaction is currently expected in the third quarter of 2025. The Agreement provides for a termination fee of $50,000, payable to Tincorp in certain limited circumstances. The Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions including: (i) the completion of a signed mutually agreeable reclamation and closure plan for the Project; (ii) Blue Jay securing the capital to satisfy the Security Demand (see below); and (iii) other customary conditions for a transaction of this nature. As part of the Transaction, Blue Jay will also be assuming responsibility for the reclamation of the project area. On-site infrastructure included as part of this reclamation feature a 50-man camp previously used for exploration, the geological logging facilities and office, the process plant, and exploration roads which together comprise the outstanding ~C$2.93 million security demand tabled by the Yukon Government (the "Security Demand") to Tincorp. "Historic sites of past operations present meaningful opportunities for lower-risk discovery alongside project renewal," continued Geordie Mark. "At Blue Jay, we view concurrent site rehabilitation as an integral part of modern exploration where stewardship, stakeholder engagement and asset advancement go hand in hand. The existing onsite infrastructure, including a 50-man camp, geological facilities, and access roads provides a strong foundation for cost effective exploration. We are committed to upholding our responsibilities, including reclamation obligations, in a manner that supports long-term value creation while aligning with our disciplined approach to capital allocation and community partnerships."

Blue Jays All-Quarter Century Team: Toronto's best since 2000
Jayson Stark's MLB All-Quarter Century Team inspired me. What would a team of the best Blue Jays from the last 25 years look like? Sticking to production since 2000, I've compiled a roster of Toronto's top talent this century. There were some tough choices, having to weigh high peaks against lengthy runs, and you're going to disagree with a few, rightfully. Advertisement While The Athletic posted a ballot to vote for your own league-wide All-Quarter Century roster, feel free to express your dissenting Blue Jays opinions in the comment section. Sorry, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the next 25 years can be yours. This era belongs to Delgado. The Puerto Rican slugger leads the Blue Jays in all-time offensive WAR (according to Baseball Reference) and has the most total bases, RBI and runs scored in franchise history. Much of that came in the 1990s, but if you take only Delgado's 25.4 bWAR from 2000 through 2004, that's still the seventh most in franchise history and three more than Guerrero has racked up. Delgado twice finished in the top five in American League MVP voting with the Jays this century, including a 2003 season in which he led the AL with 145 RBI. He's the only Blue Jay to drive in more than 135 runs in a season, doing so twice. Delgado never got his playoff moment with the Blue Jays, but he deserves a spot on this list. It was the best summer fling the Blue Jays ever had. Semien's 45 homers in 2021 remain the most in a single season by any AL second baseman. Despite playing just one season in Toronto, Semien is the only Blue Jays second baseman to win a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger this century. If you're looking for longevity, Aaron Hill is your guy. He had seven solid seasons with the Jays, earning MVP votes in 2009. But Semien's peak, albeit short, earns my nod as Toronto's quarter-century keystone. I was surprised how easy this pick was. The other options were guys like Marco Scutaro, Yunel Escobar, José Reyes and Troy Tulowitzki. Bichette has doubled all their bWAR as a Blue Jay, sitting at 18.3 as of May 25. Bichette also has double the hits, homers and runs scored of any other Toronto shortstop since 2000. He's also the only Blue Jay, at any position, to lead the AL in hits twice. I'll hear debate on other selections, but this is not one. Eric Hinske, Troy Glaus and Matt Chapman had their moments, but this is another no-brainer. The Bringer of Rain helped capture the best Blue Jays seasons the franchise has seen since winning the World Series. There were other big bats and big personalities on Toronto's 2015 and 2016 AL Championship Series squads, but Donaldson was the biggest threat. Advertisement His 2015 season, Donaldson's first in Toronto, remains the greatest by a Blue Jays third baseman. He put up 7.4 bWAR and led the AL in runs, RBI and total bases. Donaldson earned 23 of the 30 first-place AL MVP votes that year, becoming the second Toronto player to win the award, alongside George Bell. His Toronto tenure ended with a whimper, but there were plenty of bangs when it mattered. This was the toughest pick. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has a case. Alex Rios would've been the easy selection if he played even a moment of left field for Toronto. I almost talked myself into an Adam Lind/Reed Johnson platoon. Ultimately, Stewart's start to the century was the best run in left the Jays have had since Bell left town. In three full seasons after 1999, Stewart hit over .300, tallied at least 10 homers and stole at least 14 bases. After four seasons away from Toronto, he came back to the Blue Jays for one final season in 2008. From Toronto's weakest position this century, Stewart stands out. Wells was the bright spot in a dark era of Blue Jays baseball, both in jersey colour and result. He logged 12 seasons in Toronto, never sniffing the playoffs or suiting up for a team that won more than 85 games. But Wells undeniably belongs on this list, sitting second in franchise bWAR this century with 29.1. He also leads the Blue Jays in hits, doubles and RBI since 2000. On a better team, Wells may have earned more MVP love, getting votes just twice and never finishing higher than eighth. At the very least, he's earned the coveted centre field spot on Toronto's Quarter-Century Team. Bautista was a baseball vagabond, playing for five different franchises in his first five MLB seasons. If not for a 2010 swing change, he's probably one of those deep-cut names you throw out when trying to impress other baseball fans. Instead, Bautista became a six-time All-Star and two-time home run leader, and his name rests forever on Toronto's Level of Excellence. Advertisement There are many individual moments that could've earned Bautista a spot on this team — the bat flip, the franchise-record 54 homers, throwing out Billy Butler at first base or the Darren O'Day beef. But the totality of Bautista's decade in Toronto makes it obvious. He sits atop the post-2000 Blue Jay leaderboards in bWAR, runs, homers and walks. He found a home and became one of the most iconic players in Blue Jays history. Either Wells or Bautista top basically every Blue Jays hitting leaderboard over the last 25 years. But sitting there in third place, almost across the board, is Encarnación. Breaking out alongside Bautista, Encarnación went from middling to masher for the 2010s Blue Jays. He became the perfect lineup protector for Joey Bats and the cleanup hitter on Toronto's ALCS teams. He put the parrot on his arm 239 times as a Blue Jay, sitting third in franchise home runs. Encarnación is the franchise leader in games at DH and the easy pick to represent this quarter century. Can we agree on Halladay and move on? He was Toronto's lone representative on Stark's MLB Quarter-Century Team and remains the only recent Blue Jays pitcher to get in the Hall of Fame. After that, things get messy. I feel you feverishly scrolling down to the comments to make cases for Ricky Romero, Marcus Stroman, A.J. Burnett, Mark Buehrle and maybe even R.A. Dickey. But to fill out this rotation, I prioritized peak. Estrada is probably the most underrated member of Toronto's ALCS teams, allowing the AL's lowest hits per nine innings in 2015 and 2016. He also added a 2.16 ERA across six postseason outings. Gausman still has one year left to polish off one of the best big contracts in Blue Jays history, and Ray is the only non-Halladay starter to win the Cy Young this century. The toughest pick was Happ, but go back and look at his 2016 season. He posted a 3.18 ERA, racked up 20 wins and was sixth in AL Cy Young voting that year. Maybe Aaron Sanchez and Romero had slightly better top years, but when you combine Happ's two Toronto tenures, he also sits second in strikeouts among all Blue Jays starters since 2000. Advertisement If B.J. Ryan stopped after his 2006 season, he might be locking down the ninth for this team. Instead, the lights go down and Tsunami's thumping beat blares over the speakers for Romano. Even if you include the righty's dud 2024, he posted a 2.90 ERA across six seasons with the Blue Jays. The Markham, Ontario, native converted 105 of 118 save opportunities for Toronto, sitting third in franchise history in saves. He's not the Blue Jays closer anymore, but Romano is the best they've had in the last 25 years.

Riverside Resources finalises Blue Jay Gold shares spin-out
Riverside Resources has announced the successful completion of its arrangement to spin out shares of Blue Jay Gold to its shareholders, effective 22 May 2025. Shareholders of Riverside received one new common share of Riverside and one-fifth of a common share of Blue Jay for each Riverside share held. The new Riverside shares are set to begin trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) at market opening on 26 May 2025. Riverside president and CEO John-Mark Staude said: 'The completion of the Blue Jay spin-out marks a significant milestone in Riverside's ongoing strategy to unlock value through disciplined corporate development and capital deployment. 'We believe that Blue Jay, with its strong portfolio of Canadian gold assets, dedicated management team and clean capital structure, is well-positioned for exploration and growth. This spin-out not only provides Riverside shareholders with direct exposure to a focused new exploration company, but it also reinforces Riverside's track record of creating value through strategic actions that serve the company and shareholders.' On the same day as the arrangement, Riverside and Blue Jay amended their original agreement from 27 January 2025. This amendment allows both companies to waive certain conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, with all other terms remaining unchanged. Blue Jay CEO Geordie Mark said: 'Blue Jay is launching with a clear and compelling mandate to build long-term shareholder value through focused gold exploration in Canada, one of the world's most stable and well-endowed mining jurisdictions. 'Our initial asset base includes high-quality projects with significant discovery potential and our team brings deep technical expertise, capital markets experience and a commitment to disciplined exploration.' Blue Jay is also preparing to apply for its shares to be listed on the TSXV. Following this corporate manoeuvre, Blue Jay will become a reporting issuer in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario, adhering to all continuous disclosure requirements under Canadian securities laws. Additionally, Riverside Resources has expanded its mining interests by acquiring and transferring the title of the Maria Luisa Copper Property in Sonora, Mexico. This acquisition, completed in June last year, adds a significant 16km² to Riverside's portfolio within the Laramide age porphyry Cu-(Au, Mo) district, directly adjacent to its Ariel property.
