Portfolio Summary
Source: Company
Five projects covering over 119,713 hectares of gold and copper assets in Saskatchewan and Ontario
Two projects with NI 43-101 compliant resources, and one with historical resources
Contact Lake, Greywacke, and Reindeer properties lie within Saskatchewan's La Ronge Gold Belt, which hosts five past-producing mines, and several high-grade gold deposits
Since our initia ting report, the company has staked two early-stage gold projects , Reindeer Lake in northern Saskatchewan and Raney Gold in Timmins, Ontario , and expanded the Greywacke Lake project with the Hailstone property. Last month, geological mapping and sampling were conducted at Greywacke Lake.

Reindeer, which connects the Contact Lake and Greywacke Lake projects, hosts several gold, copper, zinc, and silver showings
Raney Gold is situated within the southwest extension of the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt
Resource Update – Contact Lake & Greywacke Lake Gold
Resources were updated using a higher gold price of US$2,600/oz ( previously US$1, 6 00/oz), allowing the inclusion of previously uneconomic lower-grade material. 2025 Resource - Contact Lake and Greywacke

Total resources increased 68% to 2.03 Moz
Due to the inclusion of lower-grade material, overall grades declined by 20% to 1.00 g/t Au
While higher resources support a larger production profile and longer mine life, lower grades could lead to higher OPEX
We believe the substantial growth in contained ounces outweighs the relatively modest fall in grades, resulting in a positive overall impact
We see resource expansion potential , as the first three holes from a recent 6,838 m/19-hole drill program at Contact Lake returned significant gold over long intervals, including 43.3 m of 7.03 g/t, 29.6 m of 2.49 g/t, and 29.5 m of 0.56 g/t. The first two holes are especially promising, with grades well above the current resource estimate.

All three holes targeted areas just outside the historical mine footprint, highlighting resource expansion potential
The next set of results is expected in the coming weeks, and management anticipates announcing a follow-up drill program in Q1 2026.

FRC Projections and Valuation

Despite the recent spike in the stock, ROCK remains the most undervalued junior gold stock on our list, trading at $40/oz AuEq (previously $10/oz) vs a comparables average of $85/oz (previously $50/oz)
Applying the sector multiple to ROCK’s updated resource estimate, we arrived at a fair value of $4.06/share (previously $1.73/share)
We are reiterating our BUY rating, and adjusting our fair value estimate from $1.73/share to C$4.06/share. ROCK has delivered an impressive resource update, and early drill results at Contact Lake highlight strong resource expansion potential. Supported by a well-funded balance sheet, an expanded five-project portfolio, upcoming drilling, and a valuation discount amid strong gold fundamentals, we remain positive on ROCK.
Risks
We are maintaining our risk rating of 5 (Highly Speculative
