Carlyle's VP of Exploration and Director, Mr. Jeremy Hanson, commented: "We are thrilled to be getting underway at the Newton Project having been at site over recent weeks preparing various items ahead of the commencement of our Phase 1 drill program. This under-explored mineral system is open in multiple directions, along with numerous distal high priority targets where some of the most notable historic drill intercepts occurred on the Newton Project that our team is anxious to test."

They have a proven track record of successful projects and a highly skilled team with vast experience across Canada on a variety of deposit types.
Next Steps for Carlyle
As Carlyle has a 5-year Notice of Work Permit to further explore and develop the Newton Project, the Company anticipates mobilizing the Phase 1 diamond drill program in the coming weeks. As part of the initial phase, Mr. Hanson and his crew of approximately 8-10 personnel will plan to arrive on site and begin a 14-hole diamond drill campaign to test various step out targets of merit, as well as seek to add tonnage and ounces to the existing resource calculation by testing expansion and infill drill targets. Specific details of the Phase 1 exploration program will be shared in due course.
About The Newton Project
The Newton Project encompasses more than 24,000 ha.
The Newton Project is a large, bulk tonnage, low - to intermediate-sulphidation, epithermal gold deposit with more than 30,000 m of drilling exploring and developing the historical resource, primarily between 2009-2012.
Updated inferred pit-constrained mineral resource contains 861,400 oz of Au, and 4,678,000 oz of Ag with an average grade of 0.63 g/t Au, a cut off of 0.25 g/t Au throughout 42,396,600 tonnes.
Mineralization occurs within an 800 x 400 m area defined by drilling to depths of 560 m, with majority of holes not exceeding 300 m depth.
Underlying the deposit, a large IP anomaly measures 4 km x 2 km and covers an area greater than 7 km2 - yet the historical inferred mineral resource occupies slightly over 0.5 km2 or just 7% of the anomaly.
Gold and associated base metal mineralization precipitated in extensive zones of strong quartz-sericite alteration as well as in mafic volcanic and clastic sedimentary rocks and along fault and fracture zones.
The alteration assemblages and metal associations at the Newton Project are similar the Blackwater gold project deposit of Artemis Gold Inc. ("Artemis") The Blackwater gold project, which is in construction phase, is located approximately 185 km northeast of the Newton Project, where it is one of Canada's largest open-pit gold deposits and one of the world's largest environmental assessment approved gold development projects. Blackwater has a measured + indicated resource estimated at 11.7 million ounces Au and 122 million ounces of Ag (see Artemis' "Blackwater Gold Project British Columbia NI 43-101 Technical Report on Pre-Feasibility Study", authored by Sue Bird, Daniel Fontaine, Tracy Meintjes, Marc Schulte and John Thomas, August 26, 2020; www.artemisgoldinc.com).
