JAMES BAY TECHNICAL FOCUS
NOTTAWAY
Permit-in-Hand Technical Focus with Confirmed Sulphides
Nottaway is CDN Maverick’s current technical focus within James Bay. Historical drilling confirmed massive sulphides, while later geophysical reinterpretation points to stronger drill-ready targets.

TECHNICAL FOCUS
Nottaway is our current focus
WHY NOTTAWAY MATTERS
Nottaway gives the James Bay platform a clear technical focus: known sulphides, improved geophysical targeting, a drilling authorization, and a recommended follow-up program designed to test stronger conductors more directly.
Confirmed Sulphides
Historical drilling confirmed a 2.85-metre massive sulphide interval consisting mainly of pyrrhotite and pyrite.
Improved Targeting
Geophysical reinterpretation indicates several holes may have missed, passed above, or inadequately tested the strongest conductors.
Near-Term Catalyst
Drill-permitted follow-up program to re-test the strongest EM conductors, under an ATI authorization issued February 16, 2026 and valid for three years.
NOTTAWAY DISTRICT CONTEXT
Strategic Location in James Bay
Approximately 75 kilometres north-northeast of Matagami, Québec
Road accessible from Matagami
Surrounded by active exploration
Favourable geology with district-scale VMS potential
Nottaway is located approximately 75 km north-northeast of Matagami, Quebec, within CDN Maverick’s broader James Bay platform.
TECHNICAL HISTORY & REINTERPRETATION
1
2015 SOQUEM DRILLING
5 holes totalling 875 metres.
2
MASSIVE SULPHIDES
Confirmed 2.85-metre massive sulphide interval consisting mainly of pyrrhotite and pyrite.
3
NON-ECONOMIC RESULTS
Reported 0.27% zinc over 4.5 metres, including 0.55 metres grading 1.1% zinc, 0.4% lead and 9.7 g/t silver.
4
REINTERPRETATION
Later geophysical reinterpretation indicates several holes may have missed, passed above, or inadequately tested the strongest modelled conductors.
5
NEXT-PROGRAM TARGETING
New data will directly test priority conductors with EM, gravity and drilling to aprox. 2,700m
RECOMMENDED NEXT PROGRAM (NI 43-101)
SURFACE & BOREHOLE EM
Define and rank priority conductors.
GRAVITY SURVEY
Refine structure and depth positioning.
HYDROGEOCHEMISTRY
Identify vectors and target pathfinders.
DRILLING
~2,700 metres to test priority targets.
The drilling intersected massive sulphides. One hole returned 0.15% zinc and 0.08% lead over seven metres. Another returned 0.27% zinc over 4.5 metres, including 0.55 metres grading 1.1% zinc, 0.4% lead and 9.7 grams per tonne silver. A later geophysical reinterpretation showed that some of the original holes may have been drilled in the wrong direction, passed above the conductors, or failed to test the main targets properly.
Additional conductive plates were identified north of the earlier drilling, including one modelled at approximately 500 siemens per metre. The strongest of those conductors remains untested.
