James Bay Minerals has transformed into a gold investment opportunity through its acquisition of the advanced-stage Independence Gold Project in Nevada's prolific Battle Mountain Region. The project boasts a substantial resource of 1.18 million ounces of gold, including a high-grade portion of nearly 800,000 ounces at 6.53 g/t Au.

The project's strategic location, adjacent to the major Phoenix mine operated by Nevada Gold Mines (Newmont/Barrick JV), provides key advantages. These include a streamlined 8-12 month permitting process and excellent infrastructure.

James Bay Minerals sees strong potential to grow the resource through near-surface expansion drilling and delineation of the deeper high-grade skarn zone. The skarn has been defined on only 25% of the prospective area to date, highlighting the potential for significant resource growth.

The Company is pursuing a two-pronged approach to advance the project and build value. Near-surface resources provide a pathway to near-term production via a low-cost heap leach operation. In parallel, drilling will target the high-grade skarn, aiming to delineate an underground resource to support a standalone operation or significantly enhance open pit economics.

James Bay Minerals is led by an experienced management team and board with a strong track record of value creation in the mining sector. The Company also maintains its James Bay lithium assets, providing long-term optionality on the battery metals story.

Near-term catalysts for James Bay Minerals include drill results, resource updates, economic studies and permitting milestones. At a market capitalization of just A$24.5 million, the stock has ample room for movement as the Independence Gold story gains traction.
