MACMILLAN PASS (MACPASS) PROJECT The Macpass project is one of the world’s largest high-grade undeveloped zinc projects. Located in southeast Yukon within the traditional territories of the Kaska Dena Nation and the First Nation of Na-cho Nyäk Dun, Macpass comprises a 940 km 2 district-scale area. It has several large zinc-lead-silver occurrences, including the Tom, Jason, and End zones, and the newly discovered Boundary Zone that delivered best-in-class drill results in 2023. Other high-potential targets occur along a highly prospective mineralization corridor. Fireweed Metals continues to advance the project through systematic exploration and drilling, technical and environmental studies, and social engagement leading toward future project assessment and permitting. Fireweed Metals has been exploring using innovative techniques, ranging from leveraging a new idea about how these sediment hosted zinc deposits form to make a significant new discovery to implementing cutting-edge core scanning and artificial intelligence technologies in their exploration. Company: Fireweed Metals Corp. Participants: Jack Milton, P.Geo.; Ian Carr, P.Geo.; Stephane Poitras, P.Geo.; Quinton Willms, GIT.; Kaitie Purdue, GIT.
