(“StrikePoint” or the “Company”) (SKP-TSX.V) (STKXF-OTCQB) is pleased to announce final assay results from its Spring 2025 drill program on the Hercules Gold Project located in Nevada’s prolific Walker Lane.   “This drill program successfully demonstrated that the Hercules Gold Project has a predictable epithermal footprint hosting abundant near surface oxide gold Our geological model for the project has been confirmed and we believe that the mineralization at Hercules shows the grade and consistency to move forward with the project Holes 5 and 6 were particularly interesting as they delivered strong mineralization at the southern extremes of the target areas indicating that the mineralizing systems remain robustly open.” (Video: Strikepoint CEO Michael Allen reviews results: https://youtu.be/tE7f9sUE0L8 ) there is insufficient data to estimate true thickness Hole H25005 which cut 117.35 m of 0.45 g/t Au with 3.55 g/t Ag is the furthest south drilling on the Cliffs target to date and shows that the system remains open to the south The next nearest hole to the to H25005 is hole H20040 which returned 39.62m of 1.12 g/t Au with 5.38 g/t Ag These two holes give a strong indication of the strength of the mineralization at the southern portion of the Cliffs Target H250006 encountered 10.67m of 1.17 g/t Au and 18.13 g/t Ag starting at surface with an additional 44.20m of 0.35 g/t Au and 4.34 g/t Ag showing that multiple zones of the Hercules showing are also open to the south Hole H25007 was drilled to test a geochemical anomaly to the east of the Loaves showing and hit two zones of encouraging grades shallower gold intercepts showed higher cyanide solubility than deeper intercepts Comparing cyanide soluble gold assays to fire assays showed that cyanide solubility ranged between 89% and 32% on a per hole basis With drilling and subsequent testwork showing abundant near surface cyanide soluble gold the Company is optimistic of the potential of an open pit heap leach operation at the Hercules Gold Project Figure 1: Hercules Gold Project Spring 2025 Drill Collars the Hercules Gold Project consists of 1,323 unpatented claims and four patented claims covering approximately 100 square kilometers The Company bought the Hercules Gold Project for $250,000 in August of 2024 The Hercules Gold Project features an Exploration Target Hercules Gold Project Exploration Target Model * *  The stated potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and there has not been sufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource The Exploration Target Model has not been evaluated for reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction The Exploration Target expressed should not be misrepresented or misconstrued as an estimate of a mineral resource or mineral reserve The Exploration Target was developed using historical drilling Mineralization trends were evaluated using Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) to generate a trend model which informed the construction of grade shells in combination with current geological understanding These grade shells were used to estimate the distribution of mineralized tonnes and to support the generation of grade-tonnage curves The Exploration Target and AI generated model will be utilized to guide future drilling in these areas of known mineralization The Exploration Target used data from the Sirens and Northeast showings on the Hercules Gold Project In this area there are a total of 306 historical drillholes yielding a total of 31,776 meters in the drillhole database along with data for 121 surface trenches The drillhole database contains a total of 18,409 sample interval entries with the trenches providing another 475 sample entries A total of 5,620 sample intervals are contained within the mineralization domains utilized for the Exploration Target the Company drilled 7 holes into the Hercules Gold Project in the Spring of 2025 For further information on the Exploration Target on the Hercules Gold Project refer to the Company’s March 3, 2025 release Nevada is one of the

In particular, it has what appears to be three dark lanes that form the shape of an airplane propeller. Bindon Blood Stoney, assistant to the Earl of Rosse in the 1850s It is a pattern caused by the lack of stars along this particular line of sight and it is located on the southeast corner of the cluster Aperture and magnification help in seeing it because a large telescope and at least 200 magnification is necessary to bring it out from the background M13 is very far away, 25,000 light-years This is several times farther away than the farthest stars you can see with the unaided eye that is about 100 times more than the number of stars you can see with your eyes alone in our sky at night It will take 25,000 years for the message to reach the cluster any response will take another 25,000 years to reach us they usually harbor a few hundred to a thousand stars Englishman Edmond Halley discovered this cluster in 1714 “by help of the telescope.” He stated: but it shows itself to the [unaided] eye when the sky is serene and the moon absent On June 1, 1764, the famous French comet hunter Charles Messier (1730-1817) listed this object as number 13 in his catalog of nebulous objects … A nebula which I am sure contains no star was not powerful enough to show the individual stars M13 has become the most observed globular cluster in the Northern Hemisphere Peering at this globular cluster is a wonderful way to start your spring or summer evening Hercules is between 2 bright stars: Vega and Arcturus The Pleiades – or 7 Sisters – known around the world The Hyades star cluster: The Face of Taurus the Bull We invite you to visit our campaign page to discover why we need your contributions now more than ever to preview an illustration from Guy Ottewell’s great book that we're helping finalize and to learn more about EarthSky’s history “Things are always so much more peaceful when looking up.” We couldn’t agree more we apologize for the popup and greatly appreciate your support (TSXV: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) (FSE: C0X) ("Hercules" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of an independent study focused on the high-grade enrichment zone at the Company's Hercules Property in western Idaho ("Hercules" or the "Property") authored by independent consultant Jamie Wilkinson1 (the "Wilkinson Report") presents evidence that Leviathan's shallow enrichment zone formed through a hypogene process known as "telescoping" in which epithermal fluids overprinted and upgraded earlier porphyry mineralization which is limited to narrow blankets of near-surface weathering telescoping implies significantly greater scale and grade potential The upcoming drill campaign will therefore focus on targeting the shallower levels of the system where the porphyry and epithermal systems are believed to overlap "Jamie's report provides us with important insight into the origin and preservation of high-grade hypogene enrichment significantly influencing our exploration strategy moving forward Combined with input from the new 3D geological model and the acquisition of a strategic mineral lease in areas of enhanced preservation potential we're now able to start directly testing for zones of thicker hypogene enrichment." Addressing the Origin of the Enrichment Zone The Wilkinson Report was aimed at addressing whether the high-grade enrichment at Leviathan was the product of weathering (supergene) or a hydrothermal overprint (hypogene) The planar upper contact of the enrichment zone led to some speculation that it was a supergene enrichment blanket created by erosion and leaching from above new insight provided by the Wilkinson Report demonstrates strong evidence that the unconformity and leach cap crosscut negligible volumes of potential supergene copper may occur within the high-sulfidation enrichment zone the potential contribution of any unidentified supergene copper within the enrichment zone would be trivial does contain supergene native copper in two drill holes which may instead point to the potential for a distal exotic copper deposit New 3D geological and structural modeling highlights a pronounced southeast dip to the system the enrichment is now interpreted to extend significantly deeper along southeast-dipping feeder structures The upcoming northwest-oriented fence drilling campaign is specifically designed to test this revised model and evaluate the true vertical extent of enrichment along these newly defined structural controls Preservation Windows and Untested Potential Approximately 1.6 km of Leviathan's 4-km-long chargeability anomaly has been tested by drilling the enrichment zone has undergone leaching and erosion new mapping and oriented core drilling has lead to a geological and structural model that highlights areas with greater preservation potential including: Figures 1 and 2 present northwest facing cross-sections of the geology and alteration at Resolution The Resolution porphyry system is interpreted to have undergone rapid uplift during formation which resulted in substantial telescoping of its alteration and mineralization including a late-stage high-sulfidation enrichment overprint represented by the blue zone of "advanced argillic" alteration on Figure 2 represented by the orange "supergene" alteration zone on Figure 2 local tectonics reversed course quickly and down-dropped the deposit into a structural graben burying it with over 1km of "Whitetail Conglomerate" and other post-mineral cover rocks (Figure 1) Although the deposit is now situated beneath 1.5 km of post-mineral cover that rapid down-drop and burial is ultimately what preserved the high-grade part of the system from erosion Post-mineral tilting has also since rotated the deposit approximately 25 degrees to the northeast as indicated by the basal contact of the Whitetail Conglomerate Another interesting analogue of note is that Resolution lacks any significant supergene enrichment Figure 1: Geological section through the Resolution copper deposit looking northwest3 Figure 2: Alteration section through the Resolution copper deposit looking northwest Figure 4: District scale map with dark shading over areas of post-mineral cover indicating broad areas of increasing enrichment potential to the north and northwest The 1.6 km portion of the enrichment zone which has been tested so far at Leviathan shows effects of supergene leaching without any immediate evidence for supergene enrichment below The likely reason for this is destruction of the host rocks acid buffering capacity by the telescoped alteration The Wilkinson report notes that extreme phyllic alteration at Leviathan resulted in near complete destruction of feldspars which are a typical "trap" needed to re-precipitate copper in a supergene blanket the absence of supergene copper in an underlying blanket signals potential for the alternative method of supergene enrichment - a distal "exotic copper deposit" - which may occur at greater distances if a suitable chemical trap was encountered Highly acidic groundwater is interpreted to have transported copper weathered and leached from the enrichment zone downslope along a paleo groundwater flow path It is yet to be determined which direction was downslope in a paleo-topographical setting however modelling of the unconformity in 3D continues to reveal insights to the ~200-million-year (Ma) paleo-topography downslope is inferred to be the same direction as tilting Possible evidence for this occurs in two drill holes each of which encountered supergene native copper in the leach cap The metallic copper occurs along late carbonate veins that appear to have provided a suitable chemical trap to react with the acidic groundwater and re-precipitate the copper leached by weathering from the enrichment zone nearby These may represent points along a potential paleo groundwater flow path from leach cap to distal exotic copper deposit such as an entire host rock composed of carbonate was encountered along the groundwater flow path Figure 5: Supergene native copper in drill holes 24-08 and 24-12 Note the association with late carbonate veins (white) which appear to be near-completely replaced by metallic copper The following lists the important geological factors that support the conclusion of a hypogene origin to the bornite-chalcocite dominated enrichment zone at Leviathan Many features were observed under either petrographic microscope or automated SEM Figure 6: Eh-pH Phase diagram extracted from the Wilkinson Report showing the very small theoretical stability field of bornite in supergene conditions (red) within a larger stability field of chalcocite under similar conditions The scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved for disclosure by Dillon Hume Hume is a "Qualified Person" for Hercules Metals within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 -

today Blood of Hercules is the first book to the Villains of Lore series and this dark romantasy novel is an instant bestseller and is currently nominated for Goodreads Choice Award we are honoured to have Jasmine Mas here to discuss the inspirations behind her smashing tale My book Blood of Hercules is a true enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance retelling of Hercules that combines aspects of both Roman and Greek civilizations and casts Hercules as a woman I’d argue that Greek myth retellings are probably more popular than Roman retellings because ancient Greece lives on in modernity as a country while Rome is more of a legendary fallen civilization Roman civilization in many ways is a Greek civilization In my Greco-Roman classical studies major at Georgetown University we spent a lot of time learning how ancient Greek society in many ways migrated from the Greek islands to what is today southern Italy and became Rome The Roman gods for the most part are the Greek Gods with different names There’s also something romantic and alluring––and not necessarily historically accurate––about how we imagine ancient Greece: bronze and gold statues the library of Alexandria burning as soldiers marched across Europe slaughtering people While it’s not the full picture of what Rome was I combine aspects of both ancient cultures in a mythical retelling that casts villains versus heroes I was most heavily inspired by my classical studies major I’d spend hours sitting through lectures on the history of Greece doodling pictures of Ares and Hades in the margins I suffered through intensive Latin trying to figure out not only what words meant but what order they should be put in (I firmly believe the language died for a reason) thinking about how wild it was that people actually spoke it every day of their lives There is something about ancient Greece and Rome that feels fantastical How did people so long ago make such stunning art and architecture How did they understand each other when words are out of order during a time where they had such little resources when compared to today I always knew that I wanted to write a fantasy romance inspired by Greek and Roman myths because to me their society already was a fantasy romance the reality of bringing to life the feelings I had about these societies was no easy venture There didn’t seem any easy way to capture it No clear-cut path or direction I should take to bring it to life when I signed up to take a class on the ancient Greek Gods I went in expecting romantic tales and exciting heroes but alas my professor focused on actual historical accounts of how they were worshipped she made us learn all twenty-plus steps on how to sacrifice a cow and my whimsical romantic brain who wanted to learn more about Ares being the world first morally grey villain (I’m delusional) was crushed But I learned something very important­––what we do with ancient myths is entirely up to us “Artemis had this color hair and acted exactly like this,” because she’s a myth a few years later when I was a full-time lawyer I decided to write the story I’d always dreamed of writing I always love reading retellings of stories and it just felt right to write a romantic retelling of one of my favorite myths because people seem surprised that Hercules is a woman but it wasn’t something I even thought about that hard Probably because as a little girl I wanted to be the one to save everyone like Hercules did Blood of Hercules is my ode that giddy feeling I got when I discovered I was going to take a class on Greek Gods It never occurred to me that the historically accurate content might involve sacrificing a cow for its smoke­­ (something about the gods inhaling the smoke like ambrosia I memorized for the test and promptly forgot every step) because to me the myths are fantastical and romantic I hope when you read Blood of Hercules you get the same sense of awe that I feel about ancient Greece PHOTOS: Chelsea Cutler & Jeremy Zucker | Denver, CO | 12.8.24 Katie Holt, author of Not in My Book, chats standards in romance novels and website in this browser for the next time I
