Focused on the Nechako/Nazko region in British Columbia, Canada, Golden Age’s Magic Property has some of the same geological characteristics as the Blackwater Davidson Gold Project located 105 kilometers to the northwest. The Magic Property is believed to lie along a northwest trending deep-seated geological structure, the “Golden Line”, that includes the Blackwater, Capoose and Windfall Hills low sulphidation epithermal gold-silver deposits to the north and the past producing Blackdome Gold Mine to the south-southeast.
The Blackwater gold deposit consists of a measured and indicated mineral resource of 11.67 mm oz of Au and 122.38 mm oz of Ag.(596.765 mm tonnes at 0.65 g/t Au equivalent at a cut-off grade of 0.20 g/t Au equivalent)1 In 2020, Artemis Gold Inc. (TSX-V) acquired the project for C$190 million cash, C$20 million in shares and an 8% gold stream to the vendor. As noted in the Canadian Mining Journal, January 2023, Artemis is preparing to spend $645 million to bring the mine into production, with the first gold pour planned for the 3rd quarter of 2024.
165 kilometers south-southeast of the Magic Property along the “Golden Line” sits the past producing Blackdome Gold Mine1 which produced 6,303 kilograms of gold at an average mill head grade of 21.9 grams per tonne and 19,518 kilograms of silver from 305,614 tonnes of ore from a low-sulphidation, structurally controlled, epithermal gold system between April 1986 to July 1990 (Northern Miner, August 20, 1990) a low-sulphidation epithermal deposit. Tempus Resources Ltd., which owns 100% of the Blackdome property, drilled over 80 drill holes in 2022, and as of January 30, 2023, has now delinieated six veins that will contribute to its updated JORC/NI43-101 resource estimate in the first half of 2023. Further drilling is expected for 2023. The Blackdome property has a flotation and gravity mill with design capacity of 200 tonnes per day and remains in good standing for future production (Tempus Resources Ltd. website).

The potential geological similarity and general proximity of the Blackwater Gold Project and Blackdome Gold Mine to the Magic Property is not necessarily indicative of the gold mineralization, if any, present at the Magic Property.
