SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 15 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 1 Executive Summary This report was prepared as an exploration results Technical Report Summary in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) S-K regulations (Title 17, Part 229, Items 601 and 1300 until 1305) for Ivanhoe Electric Inc. (IE or the Company) by SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. (SRK) on the Tintic Project (Tintic or the Project). The Qualified Person is not affiliated with IE or another entity that has an ownership, royalty, or other interest in the property. 1.1 Property Description and Ownership The Tintic Project is a gold, silver, and base metal Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD), skarn, fissure vein, and copper-gold porphyry exploration project located in the historical Tintic Mining District (the District) of central Utah, USA. The District is the site of significant historical production and over 125 years of exploration activity. The Project is located near the City of Eureka, approximately 95 km south of Salt Lake City, and can be accessed from U.S. Highway 6, approximately 30 km west of the Interstate 15 junction. It is crossed by many historical mine roads and defunct railroad paths, which provide access to most of the property. The exploration area covers approximately 81.97 km2 of private patented claims, unpatented claims, and state leases consolidated by IE into a cohesive package of interests. 1.2 Geology and Mineralization The Property comprises a large portion of the Main and Southwest Tintic Districts where Paleozoic limestone, dolomite, and quartzite rocks and late Eocene-Oligocene volcanic rocks are intruded by the 33.07 Ma to 32.09 Ma Silver City intrusive complex. The Silver City intrusive complex appears to be the locus of the mineralized CRDs and fissure veins and is prospective to host porphyry-style mineralization at depth. Across the Tintic Project, three deposit types have been identified: • Widespread ‘fissure vein’ deposits that host gold, silver, lead, zinc, and lesser copper; • CRDs consisting of columnar and pod-like mineralized bodies connected by pipe-like, tabular and irregular masses of mineralization, forming continuous ‘ore runs’ of copper, gold and silver, zoning distally to lead and zinc; and • Porphyry copper deposits. Abrupt changes in bedding orientation, as well as cross faults, are important structures that control the CRD columnar mineralized bodies and concentrate mineralization. Total historical production from the Main and Southwest Tintic Districts is estimated at 2.18 Moz gold (Au), 209 Moz silver (Ag), 116 kt copper (Cu), 589 kt lead (Pb) and 63 kt zinc (Zn), from both surface and underground sources. This past production is dominantly from a series of CRD pipe-like bodies and fissure veins, whose mineral assemblages are consistent with a high-sulfidation epithermal origin. The fluid source is consistent with that of a porphyry environment. Total historical production from deposits located within IE’s acquired property, predominantly in the Main and Southwest Tintic mining districts, totals 1.89 Moz Au; 136 Moz Ag; 104 kt Cu; 416 kt Pb and 6 kt Zn. The gold and copper mineralization indicates the potential that the IE property is likely proximal to a potential porphyry source.


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 16 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 1.3 Status of Exploration Between May 2021 and December 2023, IE has focused on drilling areas of interest developed from interpretation of their earlier geophysical surveys, surface mapping, and compilation and digitization of historical data. Drilling of two reverse circulation (RC) holes and fourteen diamond drill holes has been completed with assays pending from three of the diamond drill holes. Diamond drilling totaling 13,436 m has been completed as of December 15, 2023 since the commencement of exploration drilling in late 2022. In addition to drilling, a ground gravity geophysical survey was conducted in 2022. Drilling in the Silver City area has intersected part of a bona fide porphyry system associated with the Sunbeam TyphoonTM chargeability anomaly in drill hole TTD-016. Abundant sulfide-bearing veins are present from 800 m to the end of the hole at 1435 m, with vein density ranging from 5-20 veins per meter. While the visible copper mineralization is low, this is the first hole to have tested the Sunbeam Typhoon™ anomaly directly, and the potential exists to vector toward the center of a porphyry system which may contain mineralization with follow-up drilling. Assays are pending for this pyrite-dominant stockwork zone. This Sunbeam porphyry system is thought to be part of the source of mineralization in the Silver City area but is unlikely to be the source of mineralization at Mammoth and Grand Central. 1.4 Conclusions and Recommendations Since securing the Tintic Project in 2017, IE has invested $55 million into exploration in the Tintic Main District, with the expenditures for securing the land and mineral titles and technical exploration work (Table 1-1). Exploration has focused on porphyry coppers, CRDs and skarns. The Main Tintic District is highly prospective for these types of mineralization based on historical mining and on the geological understanding of the source of CRD mineralization. The consolidation of mineral claims since the cessation of mining in the 1980’s has facilitated the opportunity to explore broader tracts of land, attempting to locate continuations of known exploited mineralization. IE has collated all historical data and produced a regional exploration model. The QP notes that the exploration approach taken by IE has been successfully employed in the East Tintic District by Tintic Consolidated Metals LLC (TCM), a subsidiary of Osisko Development Corp. (Osisko).

SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 17 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 The QP found the information supplied by IE to be comprehensive and logically archived. The surface geochemical sampling program and the drill core logging and sampling procedures and associated QA/QC protocols are consistent with industry standard practices. IE has applied industry accepted exploration techniques to identify and prioritize areas with exploration potential in the Main Tintic District. Drilling of two reverse circulation and 16 diamond drill holes since 2021 has tested several of these areas. Whilst no significant mineralization has been intersected to date, the drilling program has served to refine the exploration approach and re-prioritize the prospects for continued testing in 2024 based on the results and IE’s overall strategy for the project. IE has completed several academic studies related to whole rock geochemistry, petrography, geochronology and quartz vein fluid inclusions. These results confirm historical authors’ opinions on the project area and provide valuable information for the further development of IE’s exploration model. The QP identifies the following risks associated with the Tintic Project: • The dimensions of historical underground mining cavities are not surveyed, and the risk exists that larger areas have been exploited and not recorded. • Historical drill hole location and analytical results should be treated with caution. Confidence in this information is low as little to no QA/QC data are available for the respective drill holes. However, the results can be utilized for regional-scale modelling, which IE has completed in Leapfrog GeoTM. • The area being explored by IE is very large and the risk exists that the exploration activities may be diluted if too many of the prospect areas are explored simultaneously. This risk can be mitigated by ranking of prospect areas, which IE has undertaken. • All the exploration results to date indicate exploration potential areas only; no mineralization with any reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction has been identified. • Anomalous geochemical soil sample results occurring downslope from historical mining may be related to the aforementioned and not an indicator of an exploration potential area. • A complex land claims ownership exists in the Tintic District and the risk to access certain isolated claims during exploration could occur. IE has consolidated claims through several agreements to acquire the relevant claims to mitigate the risk. IE has negotiated the right to access any of the claims under the respective agreements for exploration purposes. • Unresolved Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) and pre-existing environmental liabilities exist in the IE tenement area. However, none of these impact IE’s ability to perform exploration activities on the prospective areas prioritized as prospect areas. • Future environmental permitting is a risk should IE consider an application to mine in Utah. The risk is partially mitigated on private patented claims, which would require State rather than Federal permitting. • Significant portions of the patented and unpatented mining lode claims are subject to Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty agreements, ranging between 1% and 4%. However, they are only payable upon production and sale of product should IE engage in such activities in the future. No royalties are due in advance.


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 18 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 The QP considers the following upside potential: • Historical underground mining in the Tintic District was focused on mineralization above the water table. Therefore, mineralization along existing mined zones at depth may be preserved below the water table. • Historical underground mining utilized higher cut-off grades than those that are economic in recent times. Therefore, the potential exists for unmined remnant lower grade mineralization areas being preserved. • Historically, exploration and mining were focused on CRD, skarn, and fissure vein mineralization and not on the potential mineralized fluid source at depth. IE exploration geophysics has identified several anomalies that could indicate the potential source of the fluids. Diamond drilling in the Sunbeam prospect area has intersected textures and alteration typically associated with porphyry systems. While the visible copper mineralization is low, this is the first hole to have tested the Sunbeam Typhoon™ anomaly directly, and the potential exists to vector toward the center of a porphyry system which may contain mineralization with follow-up drilling. Assays are pending for this pyrite-dominant stockwork zone. The QP is not currently aware of any other significant factors that may affect access, title or right or ability to perform work on the property. The QP considers IE’s exploration model to be applicable and realistic for the Tintic Main District region. Furthermore, the exploration techniques employed by IE are suitable for exploration for porphyry copper, CRD, skarn and fissure vein mineralization. While further exploration is warranted in the QP’s opinion, there is no guarantee it will be successful. The QP recommends that IE focuses on continuing to drill the highest priority prospect areas and to continue to use the drilling results and compiled geophysical and geological data to guide future work. Drilling is required to delineate the volume and morphology of the potentially mineralized underground zones above and below the water table. Depending on whether mineralization is intersected, and its style and grade, this would enable IE to declare an exploration target with relevant estimated tonnage and grade ranges, contingent on IE’s QA/QC protocols and performance, both of which have been demonstrated to meet industry standards. A $12M budget for 2024 has been proposed that includes payments on optioned land and surface drilling (Table 1-2). This will continue to test the porphyry and CRD exploration potential of the project.

Source: SRK (2023) 2.6 Report Version Update This Technical Report Summary supersedes the previous report, SEC Technical Report Summary Exploration Results Report, Tintic Project, Utah, U.S.A., dated November 1, 2021, which had previously been filed pursuant to 17 CFR §§ 229.1300 through 229.1305 (subpart 229.1300 of Regulation S-K). This is the second Technical Report Summary prepared under regulation S-K 1300 for IE for the Tintic Project. 2.7 Use of Historical Mining Terms ‘Ore run’ is an historical mining term that is used extensively in the supporting documentation for this report. It is local Tintic parlance for the shallow-plunging, irregular polymetallic replacement deposits explored and historically mined in the District (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). The QP has opted to maintain use of this term where historical mining is referenced and notes that it has no economic or mineral reserve implications. The QP notes that the ‘ore runs’ shown on figures in this report were modeled by IE based on historical maps to represent the replacement deposits including, but not limited to, historically mined material. 2.8 Tintic Project Overview The Tintic Project is a gold, silver, and base metal Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD), skarn, fissure vein, and copper-gold porphyry exploration project located in the historical Tintic Mining District (the District) of central Utah, USA. The District was discovered in 1869 and historical production (Figure 2-1) was mainly derived from polymetallic and precious metal-rich chimneys and breccia pipes hosted within the Paleozoic carbonate rocks, i.e., CRDs. A sub-economic porphyry deposit, the SWT Porphyry, has been found in the District well to the south of the CRDs, but it is not believed to be the intrusive source of the hydrothermal solutions that produced the high grade polymetallic and gold- silver CRDs.


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 21 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 IE has assembled a consolidated land package over the project area and has spent more than six years completing geological and geophysical exploration work to identify potentially mineralized geologic prospects. This report documents the status of the Project, provides a summary of the historical and modern exploration activities, and describes the viable prospects. Modern exploration work by IE aims to identify mineralized prospects both above and below the water table, with these prospects consisting of CRD mineralized bodies, skarns, and the source porphyry mineralizing intrusion(s).

SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 22 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 IE’s exploration strategy at the Tintic Project is twofold: • Explore for blind porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum systems believed to be the source for CRD and high-sulfidation mineralization; and • Discover new copper-gold-silver rich CRD-style mineralized zones or breccia pipes, or significant extensions of the historically mined ‘ore runs’ (see Section 2.7) in the Paleozoic carbonates. This report describes the 14 most prospective exploration areas identified by IE which comprise: • six CRD historical ‘ore run’ extension prospect areas, • four CRD breccia pipe prospect areas, • three possible porphyry center prospect areas, and • one skarn mineralization prospect area. Details of these and their respective priority in terms of prospectivity are summarized in Section 7.10. The QP notes that in this report the terms “exploration prospect”, “prospect”, and “exploration potential area” are used synonymously. 2.9 Units and Currency The metric system has been used throughout this report unless otherwise stated. Tonnes are metric of 1,000 kg, or 2,204.6 lb. All currency is in U.S. dollars (US$) unless otherwise stated.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 23 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 3 Property Description 3.1 Property Location The Project is located approximately 95 km south of Salt Lake City, Utah and can be accessed by road from U.S. Highway 6 approximately 30 km west of the Interstate 15 junction (Figure 3-1). The center of the IE claims and applications lies approximately at 39° 55’ N latitude and 112° 06’ W longitude. The exploration area covers approximately 81.97 km2 of private patented claims, unpatented claims, and state leases that have been consolidated by IE into a cohesive package of interests (Section 3.2). All maps and reported coordinates are referenced to 1983 North American Datum (NAD83) UTM Zone 12 N. The area once hosted an array of mining communities and activities but only two communities remain today – the City of Eureka and the unincorporated community of Mammoth. The historical mining area lies in the Tintic Mountains divide between the Utah and Juab Counties. The county line occurs at the watershed divide.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 24 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 3.2 Mineral Tenure The single most limiting factor for the development of mining in recent times relates to the complex land ownership within the District. IE has acquired 81.97 km2 of mineral tenure in the historical Tintic Mining District through various agreements, state leases, and permit applications (see Section 3.3) made through its subsidiary Tintic Copper & Gold Inc. (TCG), which is a successor to the merger of HPX Utah Holdings Inc. and Continental Mineral Claims Inc. (CMC). IE has consolidated all interests under TCG, its wholly owned subsidiary as of April 30, 2021. IE’s current mineral tenure can be broadly categorized into i) patented claims and ii) other claims and applications, consisting of the following claims, lease agreements and permit applications (Figure 3-2): • 486 Patented claims either owned or subject to purchase and sale by TCG comprising 19.62 km2; • 152 Patented claims and 1 fee parcel subject to various lease or lease and option agreements by TCG comprising 9.11 km2; • 474 Unpatented mining lode claims owned by TCG comprising over 38.79 km2; • 14.45 km2 of SITLA (Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Association) mineral leases, in three agreements; and • Six Hardrock Prospecting Permit (HRPP) applications on Bankhead-Jones lands (Section 3.2.2) in the Tintic Valley, comprising 61 km2 (through CMC). The identifying name, number, and areas of individual patented and unpatented claims, are provided in Appendix A. To retain an unpatented claim on federal land in the USA, a $165 maintenance fee per claim is due annually by September 1st. Based on the current landholding this would amount to $78,210 in annual payments for claim retention. The claim positions of the Project generally provide a cohesive, contiguous land package for the possible extraction of mineralization in relation to the known geology of the area.

Trust land parcels were largely allocated by apportioning the state into townships, each six by six miles, and dividing each township into 36 square-mile (93 km2) sections. The State of Utah was given sections 2, 16, 32, and 36 in each township for public schools, resulting in a checkerboard of land ownership. All other designated state institutions were granted fixed amounts of acreage. Later transactions and agreements have modified the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration’s (SITLA) interests into a diverse portfolio of surface and mineral land interests throughout the state. TCG holds three leases from SITLA on 14.45 km2 of mineral and surface interests, which were acquired in a competitive bid process in December 2018.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 26 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 3.2.2 Bankhead-Jones Lands Bankhead-Jones lands were created by an act of Congress and President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937, which authorized acquisition by the federal government of damaged agricultural lands to rehabilitate and use them for various purposes. Certain parcels in the Tintic Valley are classified as these lands and may be leased and explored for minerals by way of a Hardrock Prospecting Permit, as adjudicated by the BLM. The HRPP applications, on non-core areas of the Tintic project, were filed in 2017. In 2019, the US Government passed the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation and Recreation Act, which provided for, in part, a land exchange between the United States and the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands (the “Dingell Exchange”). The Dingell Exchange lands included a portion of the lands covered by the HRPP Applications. Based on the authorization of the Dingell Exchange, BLM issued rejections of the HRPP Applications in and around July 2022. TCG appealed the rejections, in part, on the basis that BLM lacked authority to reject the pending HRPP Applications solely on the basis of the Dingell Exchange. Following discussions between TCG and BLM, and at the direction of the parties, the Interior Board of Land Appeals vacated the BLM’s decision to reject the applications and vacated the appeal. The matter has been remanded back to BLM for further consideration of the applications and discussions with TCG regarding the processing and approval of the applications. 3.2.3 Comments The QP completed preliminary verification of IE and its subsidiary’s land tenure, relying on online searches and verifications made on the websites for the Juab and Utah County Recorders, SITLA, and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The QP noted that several unpatented claims overlie patented claims entirely, which may be to cover narrow fractions between surveyed patented claim boundaries. Due to the complex land ownership, a subsequent legal opinion on their mineral tenure was sought by IE (see Section 25). The QP has reviewed the legal opinion document and is satisfied with the veracity of mineral tenure details documented in this report. The QP is satisfied based on information available on the BLM’s Mineral and Land Records System (MLRS) and received from IE that unpatented claim maintenance fees have been paid, and all lease and option obligations have been kept current. 3.3 Underlying Agreements In October 2017, IE (HPX at the time) signed a purchase and sale agreement with Mr. Spenst M. Hansen (Hansen) to acquire 100% of his patented claims and a portion of his unpatented claims. The last payment installment was made on April 19, 2022, making IE the current owner. In January 2018, IE (HPX at the time) signed an agreement with Applied Minerals Inc. for an option to purchase metallic mineral rights, which granted exploration access to the Dragon claims during the option period. The terms of the agreement indicate that (i) IE would be required to pay US$350,000 lump sum at the completion of an initial 40-day due diligence, (ii) further installments of US$150,000 are required to be paid in December each year until December 2027, (iii) at any time before December 2027, IE may elect to purchase 100% of the rights to minerals for US$3,000,000, except for clay and iron oxide, and (iv) Applied Minerals Inc. retains the surface rights with joint operating conditions


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 27 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 allowing IE reasonable access. In March 2020, the agreement was amended to allow IE an early exercise of the purchase of the metallic mineral rights for $1,050,000, while retaining IE’s exploration and reasonable access through the claims. IE immediately exercised this right and was deeded the metallic mineral rights to the subject claims. In August 2018, IE signed a further purchase and sale agreement with Hansen to acquire the patented claims on the Mammoth, North Star, and Gemini properties. Payments were made over a five-year period with escalating payments as defined in the Definitive agreement. The last payment installment was made on August 7, 2023, making IE the owner of the patented claims. In addition to the Hansen and Applied Minerals Inc. agreements, IE entered into an additional 22 agreements, totaling to 27 agreements, for the acquisition of claims, mineral and surface rights with numerous parties using various legal structures. All these agreements are summarized in a simplified form in Figure 3-3 and in Table 3-1. Source: IE (2023) Figure 3-3: Tintic Project map of underlying agreements

SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 30 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 3.5 Encumbrances The QP is not currently aware of any violations by or fines due by IE relating to the Tintic Project. However, there are current unresolved Recognized Environmental Conditions (REC’s) and pre- existing environmental liabilities, as described below. None of these impact IE’s ability to perform exploration activities on the prospective areas prioritized as prospect areas. 3.5.1 Environmental Liabilities Historically, there were certain encumbrances to IE claims due to proximity to the town of Eureka (commercial and residential portion), a United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Super fund site. This affected the northern claims that cover the Godiva shaft and tunnel, Bullion Beck-Gemini mine waste piles and central Eureka Mining Areas. The EPA issued a ruling on Site Ready for Reuse and Redevelopment in 2015. The “Eureka Mills” Superfund site was officially delisted from the National Priorities List on September 25th, 2018. The only remaining activities are the site Operations and Maintenance (O & M) and future Five-Year Reviews, the last confirmed Five-Year Review having been conducted in September 2018. In September 2017, an initial desktop environmental due diligence study by IE was expanded to a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (Phase 1 ESA) in order to meet the EPA standard for “All Appropriate Inquiries” with respect to environmental due diligence. Ramboll Environ US Corporation (Ramboll) has completed two Phase 1 ESAs on IE claims: one in September 2017 covering the sections encompassing the Hansen “Porphyry Claims” purchase and sale agreement (Ramboll, 2017), and a second in October 2018 covering the aggregate sections encompassing the Hansen “Lode Mines” purchase and sale agreements, as shown in Figure 3-5 (Ramboll, 2018). The main land parcel areas in Juab and Utah Counties that the assessments considered are as follows: September 2017 Phase 1 ESA: • T10S R3W Sections 25, 35 and 36; • T10S R2W Section 31; • T11S R2W Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 17, 18, 19 and 20; and • T11S R3 W Sections 1, 2, 11 and 12. October 2018 Phase 1 ESA: • T10S R3W Sections 13 and 24; and • T10S R2W Sections 17, 18, 19, 20, 29, 30 and 32. The September 2017 ESA identified two areas as being problematic. Firstly, the Silver City Mills where a site inspection was ongoing, and secondly, the Mammoth Mills and Smelter which had an expanded site investigation ongoing (Figure 3-5). No additional RECs were identified by the October 2018 ESA. Other findings identified related to potential contamination concerns over past mining and railroad operations at the site and the City of Eureka historic and current operations were noted in the report. In February 2021, IE retained Ramboll to provide an update for Silver City Mills and Mammoth Mills and Smelter, the two RECs listed in the September 2017 ESA. The investigation revealed that there were no significant regulatory events since 2017 to change the status of the RECs (Ramboll, 2021).

Paleozoic carbonates comprise a significant portion of the Project and form large mountains with rugged cliffs, whereas the regions with igneous rocks of the Silver City and Ruby Hollow areas form gentle hills of low to moderate relief. Vegetation generally consists of sage, juniper, pinyon pine, antelope brush, prickly pear and hedgehog cactus, and Brigham tea. 4.2 Means of Access The Tintic Project is located approximately 95 km south of Salt Lake City, Utah (city population 200,800, metropolitan area population 1,257,900) and can be accessed via U.S. Highway 6 (US6), approximately 30 km west of the Interstate 15 junction. US6 is within 3 km of most of the development sites at Tintic. The Silver City porphyry exploration area is easily accessed by a network of well- maintained dirt roads whereas the CRD exploration areas are accessed by several poorly maintained dirt roads and partially overgrown historical tracks. A connecting line of the Union Pacific Railroad is within 3 km of the prospective areas, and serves Utah, connecting Salt Lake City to Las Vegas, Nevada through Eureka, and material can be delivered to any California port. The nearest major airports are the Provo Municipal Airport (48 km from Eureka) and the Salt Lake City International Airport (approximately 144 km from Eureka). The local and regional infrastructure for the project is shown in Figure 4-1.

A drilling permit was obtained in 2021 to allow for the work program proposed at that time to take place, with the most recent amendment dated July 2023 (see Section 3.5.2). No mining or processing is currently taking place on the Project. 4.5 Infrastructure Availability and Sources The infrastructure and facilities used to support the exploration activities on the Project to date, the water and power supply for the area, and the sources of supplies and personnel are described in this section. A summary of the historical surface and underground infrastructure is provided below. The Project is managed out of the City of Eureka, population ~660 (Figure 4-4), approximately 2 km north of the northeastern property boundary. Eureka offers limited services including two gas stations, a general store, an auto mechanics shop, a restaurant, and a small roadside motel. Equipment and other services are generally obtained from the towns of Tooele or Payson/Spanish Fork, which are each a 45-minute drive. IE has established a permanent presence in the Tintic District and is currently headquartered out of Eureka, where it has leased a 93 m2 office and an attached 325 m2, 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom bunkhouse for geologic staff housing. IE has also retained an 8-bedroom, 6-bathroom former bed and breakfast, The Goldminer’s Inn, as additional staff accommodations (Figure 4-5). Source: photo courtesy of IE Figure 4-4: Eureka, Utah, 2019 IE has developed a small parcel at the mouth of the Mammoth Valley to serve as a core logging and storage facility (Figure 4-5). The facility is plumbed with running water to spigots on site from a well owned by Spenst Hansen, 2 km west in the Tintic Valley. The primary core shed is a 230 m2, 7.6 m high metal Quonset hut with concrete foundation. The Quonset hut has electrical services including overhead LED warehouse lighting and is heated by two overhead 150k Btu propane radiant tube heaters. The core shed is secured by two large bay panel doors with padlocks. A Tuff Shed constructed adjacent to the Quonset hut on a concrete pad is secured by a padlocked bay panel door and is used for drill core and sample storage. A large seacan shipping container has been set up to serve as the core cutting facility. The cut shack is wired with electrical utilities and heated by an overhead radiant heater.

The exploration area contains several small ephemeral springs that are productive in the early spring. The exploration area does not contain any streams or rivers owing to the arid nature of the climate. Rocky Mountain Power Company provides electric utilities to the Eureka community and a high-power transmission line services Eureka, Mammoth, and Silver City. Gas is supplied by Blue Flame Propane. Limited supplies and personnel are available from Eureka, however, the main source is the Salt Lake City-Ogden-Provo Combined Statistical Area, a corridor of contiguous urban and suburban development stretched along a 190 km (120-mile) segment of the Wasatch Front with a population of 2.7 million.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 38 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 4.6 Historical Surface and Underground Mining Infrastructure The Tintic District contains numerous historical mine adits, shafts, and prospect pits. The majority of these historical sites have been catalogued by the State of Utah Department of Abandoned Mines, who have overseen the backfilling and capping/grating of open portals and shafts. The Department also has completed an inventory of almost all historical prospect pits, adits, and shafts in the Tintic District and at each location they have secured a metal survey peg with the mine catalog identification number. Most historical shafts, adits, and open stopes/glory holes near well-traveled roads and populated areas in the Tintic District have been backfilled or barricaded by rebar fencing (Figure 4-6). However, the district contains many historical features that are still open at surface. Most large past producing mine shafts have had their surface facilities and headframes removed and the shaft capped with concrete and rebar mesh. IE has actively cataloged open mine features and erected signage to warn against potential dangers (Figure 4-7). Where possible, no trespass signs are erected to help secure the IE property. Additionally, in those underground workings that are safe to access, there are many remnant pieces of equipment and metal and wood supports still present (Figure 4-7). The IE property is crossed by many historical mine roads and railroad grades, which provide access to most of the property.

It also provided a work plan and approximate cost to rehabilitate portions of several levels of workings for these areas to be accessible for budgeted (at the time) exploration mapping, sampling and drilling.


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 40 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 The work plan included temporary ventilation, safety equipment and all necessary mitigation in conjunction with mine access regulations as prescribed by the Mine Safety Health Administration (MSHA), a mining-specific safety regulatory body that operates on a national scale. The analysis of the Tintic region was completed under the review of meeting MSHA regulations, CIM Best Practice Guidelines and Ontario Mining Act regulations to evaluate the various options. Nordmin supplied budget advice and recommendations to substantiate and support various exploration and drilling activities of these access areas. It is the opinion of Nordmin, supported by the due diligence team’s findings, that: 1) The Sioux-Ajax Tunnel tunnel be rehabilitated by creating an established set of procedures for entry/exit, safety, egress and other typical plans needed for the operation of an underground facility under Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations. 2) The Grand Central Shaft have the plug removed to improve ventilation to existing underground areas and allow for access to additional mapping and drilling locations. To date, IE has completed some basic rehabilitation on the Sioux-Ajax Tunnel to facilitate access and mapping. This included creating a tag system, installing a communications system, and washing the walls. Further rehabilitation is not currently planned or budgeted for, and IE has prohibited access to the Sioux-Ajax Tunnel since March 2022.


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 41 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 5 History Due to the complex and uncertain land ownership during more than 125 years of exploration and mining in the Tintic District, the QP cannot provide a comprehensive account of historical land ownership. However, Hansen owned large portions of the District that has since been bought by IE. 5.1 Tintic Mining District History Mineralization in the Tintic Mining District was discovered in 1869, and by 1871 significant mining camps were established in the nearby City of Eureka, and the now defunct towns of Silver City and Diamond. Mineral extraction focused on high-grade Ag-Pb-Zn oxide CRD mineralization hosted in Paleozoic limestone both at surface and underground (Tower and Smith, 1900; Lindgren et al., 1919; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). The Tintic precious and polymetallic mining district saw nearly continuous mining operations from 1871 through to 2002 with variations in the level of activity, or commodity extracted. Estimates of the total mineralization historically extracted from the Main and Southwest Tintic Districts is summarized in Table 5-1. Table 5-1: Tintic Main and Southwest Districts’ estimated historical production Metal Unit Historical Production Gold Moz 2.18 Silver Moz 209 Copper kt 116 Lead kt 589 Zinc kt 63 Source: Krahulec and Briggs (2006) Total historical production from deposits located within IE’s acquired property, predominantly in the Main and Southwest Tintic mining districts, totals 1.89 Moz Au; 136 Moz Ag; 104 kt Cu; 416 kt Pb and 6 kt Zn (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006; Forster, Boyd, Ramirez, 2017). The gold and copper mineralization are evidence that the IE property is potentially proximal to a mineralizing source. Exploration and development in the District increased dramatically between 1878 and 1891 after the introduction of the Utah Southern and Rio Grande Western Railroads. Discovery of new mineralization coupled with improvements to infrastructure and transportation resulted in continuous growth in the area, and by 1899, the Tintic Mining District would surpass the Salt Lake District as the largest polymetallic producer in Utah (Lindgren et al., 1919). Gold production peaked in 1907, followed by a peak in copper production in 1912, silver production peaked in 1925 and zinc production peaked in 1926. By 1916, fifty-four mines were active within the Main Tintic District (U.S. Geological Survey, 1916). Major discoveries within the East and Southwest Tintic sub-districts continued to spur growth, exploration and development of new operations through the 1920’s and into the early 30’s. During this time, the first sulfide mineralized material was exploited via dewatering the lower levels of the Tintic Standard mine. Though Tintic was strongly affected by the Great Depression, devaluation of the US dollar in 1934 led to increased gold prices, resulting in a surge of gold prospecting by unemployed miners and stimulated production in the Tintic District. This saw continual growth in production through the Great Depression of the 1930’s and into the 1940’s (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006).


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 42 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 A federal assistance program designed to increase base metals production during World War II bolstered numerous operations in the District, even as several operations began commercial closures in the 1940’s (Eureka Standard mine [1940], Eureka Lilly and Tintic Standard mines [1949]). The early- 1950’s were marked by failed attempts by Anaconda, Kennecott, Hecla and Calumet, to locate the north extension of the Chief deposit and explore for porphyry-style mineralization in the Main Tintic District. In 1958, the Bear Creek Mining Company discovered the high-grade Ag-Pb-Zn Burgin mine, which remained in operation until 1978. Bear Creek Mining Company also ran exploration programs through the 60’s and 70’s, delineating a low-grade chalcocite blanket south of Treasure Hill, followed by discovery of a deep, low-grade porphyry copper system known as the Southwest Tintic Porphyry (SWT Porphyry). Further discoveries made by Bear Creek Mining Company include Ballpark Pb-Zn- Mn deposit and Homansville gold zone (Morris and Lovering, 1979). Neither of these discoveries were developed further after initial estimates were completed. The slow decline of operations in the Tintic District was accelerated by the Clean Air Act of 1971, which affected base metal production across the American West and resulted in multiple closures of Ag-Pb- Zn mines in the Tintic District. However, exploration and development continued with the emphasis on the precious metal potential. Kennecott began commercial production of high silica mineralized material at the Trixie Mine in 1974, where operations ceased in 1982. During the 1980’s, a claims consolidation effort in the District was led by two major companies: American Metal Climax Inc. (succeeded by Amax) and South Standard Mining Company. Mineral exploration continued throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s. Asarco installed a new headframe and hoist and rehabilitated the Chief No. 2 Shaft in 1981 for an underground exploration program that ran until 1984. Anaconda drilled several exploration holes in the central and eastern parts of the District (James 1984). A joint venture between Western Mining Corporation Holdings Ltd. and Centurion Mines Corporation conducted an exploration program for gold mineralized material in the Main Tintic sub-district into the late-80’s. Centurion also performed trenching and limited drilling in the Southwest Tintic sub-district, which was re-examined by Kennecott for porphyry copper and volcanic-hosted copper-gold massive sulfide mantos during the early 1990’s. During the 1990’s, Chief Consolidated Mining conducted an underground exploration program and rehabilitated the workings connecting the Chief, Plutus, Eagle and Gemini mines. Although an underground drill hole intersected high grade silver mineralization, no further work has been reported. In November 1996, Chief Consolidated Mining hired Thyssen Mining Construction of Canada Ltd. to conduct preliminary engineering design, budgeting, and planning services for sinking the new Burgin shaft, underground development and contract mining. They estimated capital expenditures of US$42 million to resume production at the Burgin mine (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006), which to date remains inactive but is the subject of renewed exploration and resource expansion interest. During the 1990’s, several efforts to process waste rock material were pursued, with varying degrees of commercial success. Most operations utilized small-scale leaching processes, such as South Standard’s 18,000 ton/year sale of flux material from the Trixie waste dump between 1993 and1995. By 1996, all metal production from the Tintic District had been halted. The Trixie Mine was briefly in operation under Chief Consolidated Mining in 1999, 2001 and 2002. However, unstable ground conditions in late March 2002 resulted in suspension of production indefinitely.


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 43 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 From 2002 to present, sporadic exploration efforts continued. Anglo American and Kennecott both entered into a joint venture partnership with Chief Consolidated Mining, targeting porphyry-style mineralization at Big Hill in the East Tintic sub-district. FMEC, a subsidiary of Freeport McMoran acquired the SWT Porphyry from Quaterra in the late 2000’s and is currently still exploring the area. During this time, various entities of Spenst Hansen (Treasure Hill Mines LLC, Centurion Mines Corporation, Knight Silver Mines LLC, etc.) consolidated land, collected channel, rock and waste samples, performed data compilation and enlisted the services of Elder and Gurr (2010) to prepare an independent assessment of mineral asset potential for Hansen’s northern claims. Sporadic mining operations continued at the Dragon halloysite and iron oxide deposit during this time. Table 5-2 summarizes the timeline of significant events that occurred in the Tintic District.

Documented details of exploration activities prior to 1943 consist primarily of thousands of photos (Figure 5-1), reports, and maps (Figure 5-2). These document a significant amount of mapping, exploration and mining both on surface and underground. Most of the mining was completed underground with access to drifts via either surface portals or shafts. Post 1943, activities such as surface exploration and drilling are well documented and are briefly summarized in Table 5-3. The compilation of all available historical data, including drilling, by IE is described in Section 7.4. A total of 489 drill holes were completed historically on the Tintic Project by several operators, with a combined length of at least 72,212 m, however not all of the details are available. The historical drilling database compiled by IE is discussed further in Section 7.4.2.

Years Activities Company Description 1943- 1944 Drilling Mintintic Four drilled along the margins of the Silver City stockwork which had been historically thought to be the source of mineralization in the Main District. 1950's Exploration Anaconda Evaluated the igneous terrain in Southwest Tintic for porphyry Cu potential. 1962- 1967 Drilling Bear Creek Mining Southwest Tintic Chalcocite Blanket Project: Thirty shallow (mostly 100 - 150 m) rotary drill holes (“RC”) (SWT-1 through SWT-30) were drilled on an approximate 600 m grid targeting a shallow chalcocite blanket above a suspected porphyry. A sub-economic copper resource was delineated based on 10 of these holes. Holes assayed for Au and Ag but returned low grades. 1967 Data Evaluation Bear Creek Mining Treasure Hill area: evaluated data to establish whether there was interest in acquiring claims. Due to insufficient information the acquisition was not completed. 1968- 1981 Drilling Bear Creek Mining Primary Porphyry Copper-Molybdenum Project: Seven diamond drill holes (SWT-31 through SWT-37) completed to test deep porphyry copper-molybdenum prospect. Assays indicated the presence of a low-grade porphyry Cu system, with approximately 0.2 % Cu intersected in drill holes 31, 32, 33, 36 and 37. The potential for Cu-skarn mineralization prospects in the Paleozoic carbonates adjacent to the Diamond Gulch quartz monzonite porphyry was proposed during this period of exploration. 1981- 1984 Drilling Tintic Joint Venture Drill hole SWT-30 was deepened from 601 m to 945 m, due to the surface exposure of a latite dyke similar to ones associated with higher grade copper mineralization at Safford, Arizona. Short assessment holes were drilled in 1980, 1981 and 1984. 1981 Drilling Bear Creek Mining Three drill holes (W-1, W-2 and W-3) completed. No details on the respective intended target(s) are of public knowledge. 1982- 1982 Exploration Anaconda Treasure Hill area: evaluated leases for bonanza vein and stockwork potential. This and several other areas were proposed as hot springs environments based on mapping and sampling. Additional work was recommended. 1982- 1984 Drilling Exxon Ten, shallow angled RC drill holes (E-1 through E-10) were collared on and near Treasure Hill. Drilling was based on mapping, geochemical sampling, and IP surveys and targeted shallow fissure veins and surrounding wall rock potential. 1985 Assaying Diamond Bullion Leached capping and chalcocite blanket zones of the SWT Porphyry were systematically re-assayed for gold and silver. Only low-grade assay results were returned. 1987- 1989 Drilling/Exploration Centurion/Western Mining Majority of work was completed around the Mammoth Mine and areas to the north. Three drill holes were drilled in the extreme northern portion of the Southwest Tintic area, just north of the Dragon Pit to test shallow portions of the Au-Ag- Cu Dragon Fissure Vein and small, surface, gossanous pods. No significant assay results were returned.

Trenching and sampling were conducted on a broad east-west elongate section of altered volcanics, south of the Dragon Pit and north of Ruby Hollow. Trench 14 Area Au mineralization was tested. Soil surveys were completed in the same area and across a Landsat circular anomaly 6.5 km SSW of Horseshoe Hill. Drill hole TR-1 in the Trench 14 area was completed and contained persistent anomalous Au. Drill holes SB-1 through SB-3 were collared along the strike of the Sunbeam Mine Au-Ag fissure mineralization. Drill holes TH-1 through TH-3 were completed on Treasure Hill. Centurion intersected anomalous Cu mineralization in the bottom of the Dragon Pit along the projection of the Dragon Fissure Vein. 1993- 1994 Drilling Centurion/Kennecott Nineteen diamond core and reverse circulation rotary drill holes (STR (rotary) and STD (core) 1 through 19) were completed under a joint venture on numerous prospect areas within the Southwest Tintic Project area. Only one hole, STR-6, targeted extensions of known hypogene Cu mineralization adjacent to the Diamond Gulch porphyry. This hole intersected the longest intercept of greater than 0.2 % Cu drilled to date and the hole was still in Cu mineralization at terminal depth. Three holes were drilled peripheral to Treasure Hill and a fourth hole on Treasure Hill (STR-19) intersected an enargite vein system in the footwall of the Republic-Little May (Treasure Hill) fissure zone. 1994 Drilling Centurion Centurion completed eight rotary drill holes during the program. Three holes (STR-16, 21 and 27) were drilled in the Dragon Pit and one (STR-17) was drilled along the Dragon Vein. Close spaced step out drilling (holes STR-23 through STR-25) from the enargite vein mineralization intersected in STR-19 and two holes (STR-20 and STR-26) along Ruby Gulch were completed. 2008- 2009 Drilling Anglo American/Chief Consolidated Mining Big Hill Region: Four deep diamond drill holes were drilled on Spenst Hansen claims, totaling 4,512.9 m targeting porphyry-style mineralization as hypothesized by Richard Sillitoe (2007) to underlie the lithocap on surface in the area. Results confirmed the presence of a potassic alteration zone with associated quartz- molybdenite-pyrite veining, but Cu concentrations were extremely low. Operators concluded that the results adequately disproved the presence of a large Cu mineralized body (i.e., > 5 Mt Cu) within 1,000 m of the present-day surface. 2010 Valuation Centurion Spenst Hansen, a vendor of Patented Tintic Mining District claims, procured the services of SRK to evaluate the mineral inventory for the Gemini, Godiva, Homansville, Mammoth, Victoria and 109 other claims in the Tintic Main Mining District. SRK produced a technical report entitled “Hansen Mine Assets Independent Assessment”. 2011- 2013 Drilling Kennecott/Chief Consolidated Mining Three drill holes were pre-collared through the volcanic cover with RC drilling and completed with diamond core drilling recovery, totaling 5,525.45 m. No significant Cu mineralization was intersected. Minor anomalous Cu values were attributable to As-Bi associated epithermal veins interpreted to be distal to a porphyry system. 2014 Drilling Kennecott/Chief Consolidated Mining Three diamond drill holes totaling 2,689.55 m were completed, targeting porphyry-style mineralization under the Silver Pass lithocap and under the volcanic cover at Latite Ridge. All three drill holes failed to intersect significant Cu mineralization. Source: HPX (2020)

Although there have been many historical mineral inventory assessments across the Tintic Project (e.g., Morris and Lovering 1979; Centurion 1996; Krahulec and Briggs 2006; Elder and Gurr 2010), none of them utilized internationally recognized Mineral Resource and Reserve reporting standards. Since no detail of the estimation methods and parameters employed are available, the QP is unable to comment on the reliability of the respective estimates. 5.4 Historical Production Almost 70% of the historical bulk production can be attributed to the Tintic Main District in the form of CRDs and to a lesser extent from high grade quartz fissure veins. This production originated from Mammoth Consolidated Mines Inc., North Star Mines LLC, and the Gemini Mine LLC mining areas. The U.S. Bureau of Mines documented production from the late 1890’s through the 1930’s to be 7.14 Mt (million metric tonnes) that produced 1.9 Moz Au, 136 Moz Ag and 105 kt Cu from 22 individual named deposits (Forster, Boyd and Ramirez, 2017). The top eight largest metal producers’ production in the Tintic Main District’s history is summarized in Table 5-4.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 50 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 5.5 Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing No contemporary metallurgical testing or mineral processing studies on mineralized material from the Tintic Main District are currently available to IE. Limited information on mineral processing and metallurgical tests from mineralized material at the Burgin mine in the East Tintic subdistrict were reported in the 2011 NI 43-101 “Technical Report on the Burgin Extension Deposit - Preliminary Economic Assessment” by Tietz et al. (2011). This document reports operating records from the Burgin mine between 1968 - 1978 and are incomplete. However, “a 1975 report indicated recoveries in the Burgin mill ranged between 86 - 90% on clean sulfide mineralized material and down to 50% when the mineralization was interlocked with gangue or was [present as] oxide mineralized material” (Tietz et al., 2011). Tietz et al. (2011) also reported results from metallurgical test work on samples from the Burgin project that were performed by Dawson Metallurgical Laboratories in 1987,1997 and 2001. The 1987 work consisted of flotation testing on a high-grade sulfide sample to produce lead and zinc concentrates, but the results of this study are not available. In 1997, seven-cycle locked-cycle testing on an equal-weight mixture of two composites produced recoveries of 90% for lead and 85% for silver in the lead concentrate and 51% for zinc in the zinc concentrate (Tietz et al., 2011). In 2001, Dawson reported 92% lead and 87% silver recovery in the lead concentrate and 60% zinc in the zinc concentrate from bulk-sulfide flotation concentrate cyanidation tests and stated that historical records indicate lead concentrate contains an average of 1.54 g/t Au (HPX, 2019). In general, mineralized material from the Tintic District was divided into oxide mineralized material above the water table and sulfide mineralized material below. The oxide mineralized material from Tintic is reportedly amenable to contemporary cyanide heap leaching and other cyanidation processes, with high recoveries, rapid leach cycles and low cyanide consumption. This is evidenced by Magellan Resources Corporation’s heap leach operations, whereby over 800,000 tons of oxide gold-silver-copper ore were recovered from the Eureka Hill, Mayday, Yankee, North Star, Centennial- Eureka and Mammoth mine dumps from 1988 to 1993 (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006; internal document: “Tintic District Executive Summary” - Centurion Mines Corporation). With a joint venture partner, North Lily operated a small heap leach, located just west of Silver City, which sourced oxide mineralized material from dumps and spoil piles throughout the Tintic District. Operations at the heap leach started in 1989 and completed in 1995 (Table 5-6). The final report by North Lily in 1993 indicates that 30,121 ounces of gold equivalent (both gold and silver values combined) was recovered (source North Lily Operations Review and 1994 SEC filings [http://edgar.secdatabase.com/838/92735695000103/filing-main.htm]).

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 51 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 5.6 QP Opinion The QP is of the opinion that basic commonalities can be reasonably inferred between the historical mining and processing described above and what IE could expect to encounter within its prospect areas. The reader is cautioned that the historical production figures in Table 5-4 and Table 5-5 vary between different sources and therefore should be considered as indicative only. The QP has not validated the historical production figures. The historical drill hole location and assay data should be treated with caution, however, can be utilized for regional-scale modelling (Section 7). The historical mapping is of sufficient quality to be used to guide exploration program planning (Section 7.4).

The suture zone projects westward into the Great Basin and delineates a local contrast in crustal architecture (Dickinson, 2006). The suture zone is a fundamental control on deformation, plutonism, and metallogeny (Presnell, 1998). Precambrian strike- slip faults trend parallel (eastward) and oblique (northwest and north-northeast) to the suture zone (Jordan and Douglas, 1980) and have likely influenced fault architecture, sedimentation and plutonism ever since the assembly of the American continental lithosphere in the Paleoproterozoic (Bryant and Nichols, 1988; Paulsen and Marshak, 1999; Kloppenburg et al., 2010).

SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 53 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Shortly after the formation of the Cheyenne suture belt, about 1,550 Ma, Rodinia began to break apart along a north-trending rift through central Nevada. Rifting culminated in early Phanerozoic around 770 Ma (Stewart, 1976; Sears et al., 1982; Armin and Mayer, 1983; Bond et al., 1984, 1985; Sprinkel, 2018) during which time a failed arm of the rift, the Late Proterozoic Uinta aulacogen, or Uinta trough (Sears et al., 1982; Bruhn et al., 1986; Sprinkel, 2018), collected more than 5 km of sandstone and shale, forming the Uinta Mountain Group. After the rift failed, the Uinta trough started inverting around 550 Ma and slightly uplifted and folded the Uinta Mountain Group into the initial Uinta arch, the Uinta- Cottonwood-Tooele Arch (Sprinkel, 2018). The structural weakness born out of the failed rift has since influenced geologic evolution of northeastern Utah, influencing fault architecture and magmatic activity from the Paleozoic through to the Cenozoic (Sprinkel, 2018). Throughout the Paleozoic and early Mesozoic, Utah lay on a passive continental margin The Wasatch hinge line of Kay (1951) marks the approximate break in slope between continental sedimentation to the east and thicker, marine, miogeoclinal sedimentation to the west (Stokes, 1988; Hintze and Kowallis, 2009). In the Mesozoic, the North American plate collided with the Farallon plate leading to subduction and an eastward migration of compressional deformation, the Sevier fold-thrust belt (Wood et al., 2015). The Cretaceous Sevier orogeny lasted from ~140 to 55 Ma (DeCelles and Coogan, 2006), during which time the eastern Great Basin was extensively deformed by broad north-northwesterly trending asymmetrical folds, and a series of large eastward-verging thrust faults and related northeast trending high-angle, strike-slip and tear faults (Morris, 1968; Porter et al., 2012) (Figure 6-2). The Laramide orogeny (80-40 Ma) saw the subducting slab flatten and subduction rate accelerate eastward, generating a series of uplifts and sedimentary basins in eastern Utah, while undergoing northeast-southwest compression. During this time, increased volcanism eastward led to the emplacement of mineral deposits from Idaho to Arizona (Hildenbrand et al., 2000). Orogenic collapse from ~49 to 20 Ma (Kloppenburg et al., 2010) began when the plate convergence rate slowed, and the subducting slab steepened and started to roll back. Crustal delamination and decompression melting initiated regional extension from middle Eocene to early Miocene (Constenius, 1996), manifested by extensional strike-slip faults in the Miocene which were exploited to form epithermal deposits. Cook (1969) identifies three east-west transverse structural lineaments from gravity data in the eastern Basin and Range province that correspond with three well-known east-west mineral belts in Utah. Rowley (1998) and Rowley and Dixon (2001) suggest the importance of these east-west transverse zones for localizing magmatism and mineral belts in the eastern Great Basin. Calc-alkaline, subduction-related magmatism migrated southward throughout the Eocene – early Oligocene. East- west igneous belts in the eastern Great Basin young to the south from the ‘Bingham-Park City’ mineral belt (40 – 33 Ma) to the slightly younger ‘Deep Creek-Tintic’ mineral belt, and further south still to the Wah Wah-Tushar mineral belt ranging from 32 to 14 Ma (Best et al., 1989; Rowley et al., 2005). The ‘Deep Creek-Tintic’ mineral belt (Shawe and Stewart 1976; Stewart et al. 1977b) is an east trending zone of basement highs marked by Cenozoic calderas and associated metal endowment (Lindsey, 1982; Christiansen et al., 1986) all along the belt (Figure 6-3). The East Tintic Mountains, where the belt terminates, host the Tintic Mining District, the second biggest mining district in Utah after the Bingham District, located ~65 km north of Tintic. The Bingham stock lies approximately at the intersection of the Wasatch hinge line and the ‘Bingham-Park City’ mineral belt, coinciding with the Cheyenne suture zone and the Uinta arch, concentrating tectonic and igneous activity (Stokes, 1976).


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 54 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 The Tintic District lies at the eastern margin of the ‘Deep Creek-Tintic’ mineral belt where it terminates against two or more N-S trending range front faults, inferred from Cook and Berg (1961) and Mabey and Morris (1967) gravity surveys. Metallic minerals at Tintic and Bingham are hosted along northeast, steeply dipping, thrust faults, related to the Sevier orogeny. Intrusions along the Uinta arch in the Wasatch intrusive belt are high potassium calc-alkaline and metaluminous I-type granitoids (Hansen, 1995; Vogel et al., 1997; Porter et al., 2012; Zhang and Audetat, 2017) similar to the igneous intrusions at Tintic (Morris and Lovering, 1979; Armstrong, 1969; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006; Johnson and Christiansen, 2016). Eocene to early Oligocene intrusions were emplaced in an extensional stress regime with NW-SE least principal stress (Presnell, 1998; Kloppenburg et al., 2010; Porter et al., 2012).

Fluid inclusion studies from plutons in the Wasatch Mountains by John (1989) indicate a 15-20˚ eastward tilt of the range and paleomagnetic data from the Oquirrh Mountains are consistent with an 11˚ eastward tilt related to the Basin and Range (Melker and Geissman, 1997). The East Tintic Mountains were uplifted and rotated 10-20˚ E (Morris and Lovering, 1979), similar to the Oquirrh Mountains.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 57 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 6.2.1 Stratigraphy and Structure The East Tintic Mountains are underlain by a basement sequence of more than ~800 m of phyllic slate, quartzite and dolomite from the Neoproterozoic Big Cottonwood Formation (Johnson and Christiansen 2016), outcropping along the axis of the North Tintic anticline. A sequence of more than ~3,700 m of Paleozoic (ranging from Cambrian to Mississippian periods) carbonate and clastic sedimentary strata lies unconformably on top (Morris, 1964; Morris, 1968; Morris and Lovering, 1979; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). This sequence is characterized by a thick basal Cambrian Tintic Quartzite, succeeded by a thick sequence of dominantly limestone and dolomite. During the Sevier orogeny, from Late Jurassic to Late Cretaceous, the East Tintic Mountains were uplifted and deformed in a series of north-trending, north-plunging asymmetrical folds cut by coeval thrust faults, high-angle strike-slip and tear faults (Morris, 1964; Morris, 1968; Armstrong, 1969; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). Three major folds deform the Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic sequence in the Tintic District. The Tintic syncline, adjacent and parallel to the Iron Blossom ‘Ore Run’ in the Main and East Districts, is a major structure at Tintic. Its fold axis dips 17˚ N and consists of a west limb dipping 75˚ E and an east limb dipping 30˚ W (Morris, 1964; Morris, 1968). None of the major thrust faults are exposed in the Main District (Armstrong, 1969), however strike-slip faults form a conjugate system of northeast-northwest trending fractures that cut the fold axis at 25- 55˚ angles (Morris, 1964). These shear faults dip steeply southeast or southwest and seldom dip northwest or northeast. Northeast trending shear faults are generally more through-going and are important structures for localizing mineralization (Morris, 1964; Armstrong, 1969). During the orogenic collapse, pre-volcanism, the East Tintic Mountains were again cut by normal faults, including Sioux-Ajax and Eureka-Lily (Morris, 1964). These early extensional faults serve to localize mineralized bodies where they are crossed by north-northeast tear faults or epithermal fissure veins (Armstrong, 1969) (Figure 6-5). Northeast trending mineralized faults and “fissures” are believed to be related to volcanism (Morris, 1964; Armstrong, 1969), however, these are most likely tear faults related to the Sevier orogeny.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 59 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 6.2.2 Volcanism In the Tintic Mining District, the Paleozoic sequence is unconformably overlain by a thin erosional section of Eocene to early Oligocene conglomerate, which is succeeded by up to 1,525 m of early Oligocene andesitic, latitic and quartz latite lavas, tuffs, and agglomerates (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). These potassic, calc-alkaline igneous lithologies are remnants of a large, deeply eroded, inferred caldera complex of early Oligocene age, centered several miles south of the Tintic District, in the central portion of the East Tintic Mountain range (Armstrong, 1969; Morris, 1975; Hannah and Macbeth, 1990; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). The collapsed caldera complex formed a composite volcano (Moore, 1993) composed of a sequence of quartz-biotite crystal tuff, andesitic to latitic flows, sills, and agglomerates, latitic air-fall tuff, and tuffaceous sediments (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). The basal volcanic sequence is intruded by the Sunrise Peak and Silver City intrusive complex and associated plugs, sills and dikes, along the proposed caldera rim (Armstrong, 1969; Morris, 1975; Hannah and Macbeth, 1990; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). They are dated at ~34.7 Ma (Moore, 1993) and ~33.6 Ma (Keith et al., 1991), respectively. These stocks are potassic, calc-alkaline monzonites and monzonite porphyries (Johnson and Christiansen, 2016). The Diamond Gulch quartz monzonite porphyry is the youngest intrusive event and the mineralizer in the Southwest District porphyry copper system (SWT porphyry), dated at 31.55 Ma by Hannah and Stein (1995). Post-mineralization cover amounts to early Miocene semi-indurated conglomerates and middle Miocene quartz latite flows along the eastern flank of the range (Hannah and Macbeth, 1990). 6.2.3 Sub-Districts and Mineral Deposits The Tintic Mining District lies on the eastern end of the ‘Deep Creek-Tintic’ mineral belt and the mineralization is coeval with or succeeds emplacement of the Silver City intrusive complex (Morris, 1964; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). North-northeast trending shear and tear faults of the Sevier orogeny appear to be channels for intrusions and related hydrothermal, mineralizing aqueous fluids in the Tintic District (Morris, 1964). The mineralization occurs as porphyry-, vein-, and carbonate replacement-type deposits. Vein-type deposits are widest and longest in intrusive phases and tend to form groups of short, sub-parallel veins or disappear entirely in the extrusive volcanic rocks just 50 to 100 m away from the stock (Morris, 1964). Mineralized deposit type, mineralogy and alteration varies by sub-district and their distribution suggests there is more than one feeder zone for the Tintic District (Figure 6-6). The Main District is characterized by carbonate-hosted Pb-Zn-Ag replacement deposits and Cu-Au rich epithermal ‘fissure vein’ deposits (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). Veins in the Main District appear to culminate in replacement deposits to the north, occurring dominantly in hydrothermally dolomitized limestone and consisting of columnar and pod-like bodies connected by pipe-like, tabular and irregular masses, forming continuous ‘ore runs’ (Morris, 1964). Cross-faults and abrupt changes in bedding orientation are important structures to localize the columnar bodies, and concentrate mineralization, as is the case at the high-grade Mammoth pipe located north of the Silver City intrusive complex (Morris, 1964; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006; Johnson and Christiansen, 2016).


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 60 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 The Main District has produced the most out of the four sub-districts, with ~12.9 Mt of mineralized material chiefly from five replacement deposits; the Gemini, Mammoth-Chief, Plutus, Godiva, and Iron Blossom ‘Ore Runs’ (Tower and Smith, 1987; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). These deposits mainly lie within the Tintic Syncline at the intersection of north-easterly trending faults and favorable carbonate strata (Morris, 1964; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). Cu-Au rich epithermal fissure veins of the Main District lie proximal, hosted within dolomites and limestones (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006) or within the late Eocene Silver City intrusive complex (Lindgren et al., 1919; Tower and Smith, 1987; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). The East District mineralization is hosted in similar but more complex intersections in Paleozoic strata, under a thin veneer of Tertiary volcanic rocks (Brannon, 1982). Most of the past mineral production from both Main and East sub-districts is localized near or north of a concealed Jurassic tear fault approximately coinciding with the Inez Fault in the East District and the northwest caldera rim (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). The Burgin mine is representative of Pb-Zn-Ag replacement deposits, while the Trixie mine represents Cu-Au ‘fissure veins’, breccias and replacement bodies found in the East District (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). The hypothesized porphyry centers (Big Hill and Silver Pass lithocaps) of the East District have been tested by Anglo American and Kennecott without success to date. While the East District is likely sourced from a separate feeder zone than the Main District, the North District mineralized deposits appear to have been sourced by the same feeder zone as the Main District, based on metal zonation. The North District has historically produced the least out of the four sub-districts, being characterized by oxidized Pb-Zn-Ag rich CRDs including the Scranton mine, New Bullion and Lehi Tintic properties. These deposits, however, contain on average the highest-grade zinc mineralized material of the Tintic District (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). Yet, it is not clear if these are distal to other sub-districts, or if they are sourced from a separate igneous center (Armstrong, 1969). The fact remains, however, that virtually no copper or gold was produced from these mines. 6.2.4 Basin and Range Post-volcanism basin and range extension, and related high-angle normal faults, resulted in the current block-faulted East Tintic Mountain range. North-trending normal faults of the Basin and Range, like the southern Diamond fault aligned with the Eureka Lily fault are the youngest structures in the Tintic mining district (Morris, 1964). The East Tintic Mountains were uplifted and rotated 10-20˚ E during the Basin and Range extension (Morris and Lovering, 1979). The range is interpreted to be bounded by two or more north-northwest range front faults, which helped accommodate the modest block tilt (Cook and Berg, 1961; Mabey and Morris, 1967).

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 62 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 6.3 Property Geology IE interests in the Tintic District are focused on the southern portion of the Main District where Paleozoic sedimentary rocks and late Eocene – Oligocene volcanic rocks are intruded by the Silver City intrusive complex. Over 2,000 m of Paleozoic stratigraphy is exposed at the property ranging from the early Cambrian Tintic Quartzite at the western flank through the Mississippian Humbug Formation on the east. The rocks above the Tintic Quartzite are predominantly comprised of limestone and dolomite with a few units that have a greater siliciclastic component. Thin-skinned thrusting during the Sevier orogeny resulted in a complex pattern of faults and folds in the Paleozoic stratigraphy dominated by the east-west Sioux-Ajax fault through Mammoth and a large, east-verging asymmetric anticline-syncline pair that is cut by northeast trending faults. The thrust faults that underly this folding have been identified in mines in the East Tintic District and locally at surface when not covered by later volcanic rocks. North of the Sioux-Ajax fault, the ‘ore runs’ of the Main District occur as sub-horizontal bodies connected by chimneys or pipes where crossed by faults in the shared subvertical limb of the anticline-syncline pair and along the axis of the Tintic syncline at the eastern margin. Exposure of Paleozoic rocks south of the Sioux-Ajax fault is limited to a <2 km2 area between the Silver City intrusive complex to the southwest and overlying volcanic rocks to the southeast; it does not show the magnitude of folding found to the north of the fault. Instead, the beds here dip moderately to the northeast and are cut by steep reverse faults referred to as fissures when mineralized which continue south to the contact with the intrusion. These fissures and the subvertical chimneys and pipes tend to be more Cu-Au rich than the sub-horizontal Ag-Pb-Zn rich ‘ore runs’ north of the fault. Where these fissures intersect the contact with the Silver City intrusive complex, deposits of massive Fe-oxide and halloysite occur such as the Dragon Mine. Late Eocene-Oligocene volcanic and intrusive activity followed the deformation of the Paleozoic stratigraphy and established the hydrothermal system which formed the deposits of the Tintic District and hosts typically more pyritic Cu-Au rich fissure veins. The volcanic phases generally predate the intrusions observed at surface. The oldest volcanic rocks are the ~35.2-35.3 Ma Packard Quartz Rhyolite (PQR) and Swansea Quartz Rhyolite (SQR) which are nearly identical in composition and likely related to each other. A series of recessive rhyolitic dikes are also present on the ridges around Mammoth Valley and periodically encountered in underground mines which are probably related to these units. The next oldest volcanic series encountered in the mapping area are the ~34.7 Ma alkalic Sunrise Peak latite tuffs (SPV) and volcaniclastics that are typically encountered at low elevations to the south around Ruby Hollow and Treasure Hill and as xenoliths within the Silver City intrusive complex. This unit is the primary host rock of the SWT porphyry ~4 km to the south. Overlying these sediments in the northeast corner of the mapping area, east of the Iron Blossom #3 shaft, are alkalic lapilli ash-flow tuffs and volcanic breccias related to the Latite Ridge Latite (LRL). These volcanic rocks are not common in the Project area but do occur along portions of the eastern property boundary. Stratigraphically above the LRL units are the ~33.7 Ma high-K calc-alkaline to weakly alkalic lavas of Rock Canyon Latite (RCL) that cover much of the southeast part of the mapping area. Lastly, the smaller volume alkalic Ruby Hollow Latite (RHL) biotite ash-flow tuff, airfall tuff, and associated surge deposits cap nearly all ridges in the central to eastern extents of the mapping area representing the final episode of late Eocene-Oligocene alkalic volcanism in the region.


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 63 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Phyllic alteration in the volcanic units is usually more widespread and intense around the causative quartz-pyrite-sericite fissure veins than within the neighboring intrusive rocks, which reflects the relative ease these rocks are hydrothermally altered. This is particularly the case for the Ruby Hollow Latite. Potassic and propylitic alteration overprints have been identified locally as well, though the destructive nature of the later phyllic alteration often obscures these alteration products. Several small intrusions were emplaced into this volcanic package and the Paleozoic stratigraphy across the southern Main district and western East district. By far the largest intrusion is the Silver City intrusive complex that makes up the southern half of the IE property and hosts several of the porphyry prospect areas. Detailed mapping revealed a complex intrusive history in the Silver City including at least seven separate intrusive phases related to, or post-dating, the emplacement of the Silver City intrusive complex at ~33.0 Ma based on U-Pb age dating completed by IE. Two main phases make up the majority of the intrusive complex, an early medium- to coarse-grained equigranular phase (SCMDe) and a medium-grained weakly porphyritic phase (SCMDp). A slightly more leucocratic quartz-bearing and compositionally distinct weakly porphyritic lobe of quartz monzonite (SCQM) occurs between Murray Hill and Rabbits Foot Ridge as well. All phases of the Silver City intrusive complex contain miarolitic cavities with epidote and actinolite that often have albitic halos. Xenoliths of quartzite are particularly common in the SCMDe phase and can occur up to 150 m across. Other xenoliths include hornfelsed volcanic rocks throughout the intrusive complex and skarn altered carbonates near the contact with the Paleozoic stratigraphy along the northeastern boundary (Figure 6-7). SCMDe and SCMDp units both have widespread weak sodic-calcic alteration though SCMDp hosts the majority of the actinolite ± magnetite veining observed. Fissure veins of quartz- pyrite-sericite cut across these units with relatively narrow alteration halos ~3-15 m across. The oldest mapped porphyritic intrusive phase is the Crowded Granodiorite Porphyry (CGP) which is older and slightly more differentiated than the SCQM. It can be distinguished from other porphyry phases readily based on texture, grain size, and the abundance of pyroxene (5-8 vol.%) with only subordinate amphibole much like the main phases of the Silver City intrusive complex. It occurs as an irregular stock to the southwest of the Dragon Mine near Sunbeam, and on either side of Rabbit’s Foot Ridge where it has been crosscut by younger porphyritic intrusions. The CGP is a much more noticeably porphyritic rock than either SCMDp or SCQM phases of the Silver City intrusive complex and can vary from medium- to coarse-grained phenocrysts or glomerocrysts, often making it difficult to distinguish from some of the nearby volcanic stratigraphy when affected by phyllic alteration and Fe-oxide staining. Intruding CGP at Rabbit’s Foot Ridge and the top of Murray Hill is the much more porphyritic Rabbit’s Foot Ridge Monzonite Porphyry (RFRM) (Figure 6-8a). They have similar compositions to each other, and modally contain minor biotite > amphibole ≥ clinopyroxene. These porphyries characteristically have a coarse sugary aplitic groundmass (0.1 – 0.3 mm) owing to their larger volume and probably depth of erosion in the vicinity of Murray Hill. They are commonly weakly propylitic-altered and sometimes are cut by early quartz and magnetite veinlets. A largely dissociated series of plugs and dikes occurs to the northwest of the Dragon Mine in Skarn Valley as the Monzodiorite Porphyry (MDP). It is intermixed with smaller dikes of SCMD intruding into the Paleozoic stratigraphy, thus creating a complex mix of lithologies and associated metasomatic alteration. The MDP is the primary unit in which endoskarn has been identified, often with large domains comprised of anorthite and garnet developed through much of the area. Both the MDP and SCMD result in minor skarn development in the carbonate rocks they intrude, but the resulting alteration seems to be more intense around the MDP dikes and only up to a few meters thick around the SCMD intrusions.


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 64 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 The remainder of the porphyritic phases are volumetrically subordinate with fine aplitic groundmasses owing to their smaller size and likely deeper source of origin than the other intrusive phases. The oldest of these are diorite and granodiorite porphyry dikes grouped as the Sunbeam Granodiorite Porphyry (SGDP) followed by the Murray Hill Quartz Granodiorite Porphyry (MHP), the Sunbeam Granite Porphyry (SGP), and the Megacrystic Quartz Monzonite Porphyry (QMP) (Figure 6-8b). The SGDP, MHP, and SGP dikes are primarily distinguished based on phenocryst abundance though they are otherwise texturally and mineralogically similar. SGDP and SGP dikes are associated with the potassic alteration and quartz veining observed in the Sunbeam-Joe Daly area and are thought be the causative intrusions for this alteration in that area. QMP is the youngest phase and is easily distinguished with megacrystic K-feldspar and quartz eyes and typically occurs as small plugs 10 - 100 m across. The QMP crosscuts all the other units and is not typically altered or veined at surface, although in one locality 500 m south of Sunbeam it is cut by quartz-pyrite-sericite veins and phyllic alteration which suggests that it is at least overprinted by some late-stage hydrothermal alteration. The QMP dikes have been dated at ~32.1 and ~32.7 Ma and provide rough constraints on the age of veining in the district. A paragenetic diagram showing all non-carbonate rock types and lithology codes for the Tintic Project and relative ages of some rock types is shown in Figure 6-9. Figure 6-10 illustrates the Project area stratigraphic column and associated lithology codes used in geologic mapping.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 69 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 6.4 Significant Mineralized Zones Predominantly, historical production in the Tintic district focused on Ag-Pb-Zn CRDs hosted in Paleozoic limestones, with lesser production from steeply dipping Au-Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu fissure veins. The main precious and base metal bearing minerals in the District are enargite, tetrahedrite, galena, sphalerite, pyrite, marcasite, and native gold, silver, and copper. However, many more mineral species are present, including minerals that bond with copper, silver, tellurium, arsenic, sulfur, carbonates, and hydroxides (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). There are clear metalliferous domain changes from the Southwest to the Main Tintic Districts. Cu-Au dominance transitions into Pb-Ag, then into Pb-Au and finally into Pb-Zn in the northern portion of the Main Tintic District. This zonation also indicates that the Southwest Tintic District is closer to the original source of the polymetallic bearing fluids (Figure 6-12). In the Tintic District, three deposit types have been identified: • Widespread ‘fissure vein’ deposits that host gold, silver, lead, zinc and lesser copper; • CRDs of primarily lead and zinc; and • Porphyry copper deposits. A compilation of the precious and base metals mineralogy in the deposits of the Tintic District (Lindgren et al.,1919; Cook, 1957; Morris, 1964; Morris, 1968; Armstrong, 1969; Levy, 1987; Tower and Smith, 1987; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006) delineates a distinct metal zonation inwards from the North District to the southern edge of the Main District, from Mn-Zn to Pb-Zn-Ag to Cu-Au (Figure 6-12 and Figure 6-13). This zonation pattern is the same at Bingham and many other porphyry deposits (Sillitoe, 2010; Porter et al., 2012). There are, however, exceptions to this zonation pattern wherein Pb-Zn-Ag is found in copper mineralized material, but copper is always absent from Pb-Zn-Ag mineralized material to the north. This overlapping relationship suggests telescoping (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). Fluid inclusion studies (Reed, 1981) validate the overall metal zonation pattern northward from Silver City by showing a decrease in temperature related to more Zn-rich mineralized material. In addition to metal zonation, textural zonation of gangue minerals is also quite reliable, wherein the size of minerals gradually decreases northward from Silver City. Coarse quartz and barite are found in veins in igneous rocks while medium quartz, barite and jasperoid is found in veins in Paleozoic strata. Eventually fine quartz and barite disappear and only fine jasperoid remains in the Zn mineralized material. To the south of the Main District, the Southwest District is host to modest volcanic-hosted high- sulfidation epithermal vein deposits presumably in-part related to the deep, sub-economic SWT porphyry (Krahulec, 1996; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). Prominent mines in the Southwest District include the Homestake mine and Bowers and Showers mine near the Treasure Hill deposit, and the Sunbeam mine on the northern edge in the Silver City intrusive complex. These high-sulfidation epithermal deposits trend north-northeast along Sevier-related shear and tear faults. Similar to the metal zonation in the Main District, there is a clear geochemical zonation in the high-sulfidation epithermal veins of the Southwest District, from Cu-Ag-As rich veins near the SWT porphyry outward to Cu-Pb-Zn-Au-Sb to the Alaska prospect north of Treasure Hill. Alteration zonation supports this metal zonation, where veins to the south are associated with sericite-pyrophyllite-diaspore and lower temperature veins to the north contain illite, dickite and barite (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006).

SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 71 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Fluid inclusion studies of quartz gangue related to copper mineralization, albeit of questionable quality, in the Southwest District (Ramboz, 1979) also serve to validate this geochemical zonation, where chalcopyrite formed at 350˚C homogenization temperature in the SWT porphyry and decreases to 200˚ C within two miles to the north. Although these zonation patterns suggest the SWT porphyry may be the principal source of hydrothermal alteration and mineralization for deposits in the Main and North Districts, Hildreth and Hannah (1996) show that the Main District copper mineralized material is separate from the SWT porphyry by measuring 245 fluid inclusion homogenization temperatures (HT) in 41 polished thick sections of quartz in fissure veins. While the HT decreases from the SWT porphyry northward, it increases again near Treasure Hill, south of the Silver City intrusive complex. Billingsley and Crane (1933) hypothesized that there are ~10 individual mineral centers at Tintic with each copper-rich “chimney” representing a center, while Krahulec and Briggs (2006) hypothesized that a phase of the Silver City intrusive complex may be a mineral center responsible for vein mineralization in the southern Main District. Aeromagnetic surveys by Mabey and Morris (1967) show a magnetic high in the southeast corner of the Main District that Krahulec and Briggs (2006) infer to be unexposed stock and the ultimate source of metals in the chimneys and ‘ore runs’ of the Main District. IE’s land holdings cover approximately two-thirds of the Main District’s CRDs and the multi-phase Silver City monzonite stock, which appears to be the focus of the CRD ‘ore runs’ and fissure veins. The area is also a prospective host to porphyry-style mineralization at depth when considering the proposed porphyry deposition model (see Section 6.6). The Main District is characterized by carbonate-hosted Pb-Zn-Ag replacement deposits and Cu-Au rich epithermal fissure vein deposits (Krahulec and Briggs, 2006). Veins appear to culminate in replacement deposits to the north, predominantly occurring in hydrothermally dolomitized limestone and consisting of columnar and pod-like mineralized bodies connected by pipe-like, tabular and irregular masses of mineralization, forming continuous ‘ore runs’ (Morris, 1964). Cross-faults and abrupt changes in bedding orientation are important structures to localize the columnar bodies and to concentrate mineralization, as is the case at the high-grade Mammoth pipe located north of the Silver City intrusive complex (Morris, 1964; Krahulec and Briggs, 2006; Johnson and Christiansen, 2016). 6.5 Deposit Type Mineralization in the Tintic District is typical of a porphyry-epithermal magmatic hydrothermal system. Known deposits predominantly occur as CRDs and epithermal veins (e.g., fissures) with a few small porphyry deposits including the SWT porphyry south of the Main District and the Big Hill porphyry in the East District. Exploration prospects identified by IE on the Project include CRDs in the Paleozoic stratigraphy, areas with porphyry exploration potential in the Silver City intrusive complex and at depth below the CRDs, and skarns at intrusive contacts in the carbonate rocks. The prospect areas are described in Section 7.7.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 72 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 6.6 Geological Model The porphyry copper system (Sillitoe 2010) is shown in Figure 6-14, modified to highlight the mineralizing systems found at Tintic and the block tilt that is estimated to have affected the district. Figure 6-15 shows the porphyry copper model in the context of Tintic mineralization and surface features. Porphyry copper systems are recognized globally as potential systems to host Cu ± Mo ± Au ± Ag deposits of various sizes and grades. The alteration and mineralization in porphyry copper systems are known to comprise many cubic kilometers of rock and are zoned outward from stocks or dike swarms, which typically comprise several generations of intermediate to felsic porphyry intrusions. Porphyry Cu ± Au ± Mo deposits are centered on the causative intrusions. Carbonate wall rocks can host proximal Cu-Au skarns, distal Zn-Pb and/or Au skarns, and, beyond the skarn front, carbonate replacement Cu and/or Zn-Pb-Ag ± Au deposits, and/or sediment-hosted, distal disseminated Au deposits. High-sulfidation epithermal deposits may occur in lithocaps above porphyry Cu deposits, where massive sulfide lodes tend to develop in deeper feeder structures and Au ± Ag-rich, disseminated deposits form at shallow levels within the uppermost 500 m or so. Intermediate sulfidation epithermal mineralization, chiefly veins, may develop on the peripheries of some lithocaps. The alteration-mineralization in the porphyry Cu deposits is zoned upward from barren, early sodic-calcic through mineralized potassic, chlorite-sericite, and sericitic, to advanced argillic which in part make up the lithocaps and may attain >1 km in thickness if not eroded. Low sulfidation state chalcopyrite ± bornite assemblages are characteristic of potassic zones, whereas higher sulfidation-state sulfides are generated progressively upward together with temperature decline and the resultant greater degrees of hydrolytic alteration, culminating in pyrite ± enargite ± covellite in parts of the lithocaps. The porphyry Cu mineralization occurs in a distinctive sequence of quartz- bearing veinlets as well as in disseminated form in the altered rock between the veins. Magmatic- hydrothermal breccias may form during porphyry intrusion, with some of them containing high-grade mineralization because of their intrinsic permeability. In contrast, most phreatomagmatic breccias, constituting maar-diatreme systems, are poorly mineralized at both the porphyry Cu and lithocap levels, mainly because many of them formed late in the evolution of systems. Epithermal gold-silver deposits form in the near-surface environment from hydrothermal systems typically <1.5 km below the Earth’s surface (Hedenquist et al., 2000). They are commonly found associated with centers of magmatism and volcanism and modern hot-spring deposits and both liquid- and vapor-dominated geothermal systems are commonly associated as well. Epithermal gold deposits are considered to comprise one of three subtypes (Sillitoe and Hedenquist, 2003): high sulfidation, intermediate sulfidation, and low sulfidation, each denoted by characteristic alteration mineral assemblages, occurrences, textures, and, in some cases, characteristic suites of associated geochemical elements (e.g., Hg, Sb, As, and Tl). Base metals (Cu, Pb, and Zn) and sulfide minerals may also occur in addition to pyrite and native Au or electrum. In some epithermal deposits, notably those of the intermediate-sulfidation subtype, base metal sulfides may be present in significant amounts that often show metal zoning which reflects the hydrothermal fluid temperature change with: relatively more Cu nearer the source, an increased Zn component further away, and Mn beyond that. If carbonate host rocks are available, CRDs may form as mantos and chimneys that can display similar metal zoning.

Surface exploration work included a ground geophysical survey and a geological baseline work program consisting of soil and rock grab sampling, age dating, petrology, mapping, prospecting, and identification of key intrusive and alteration phases. Additional work through 2018 and into 2019 included the re-logging of deep historical drill holes at the Dragon prospect and the compilation and 3D digitization of historical mines, underground workings, and mineralized zones termed ‘ore runs’. Exploration work in 2022 and 2023 has comprised reverse circulation and diamond core drilling, and a ground gravity survey along with small programs of soil samples, mapping, and surface sampling. The geophysical and geological exploration work completed by IE on the Project is summarized in Table 7-1. More detailed information on each program is provided in Section 7.1 to Section 7.6 and reports referenced therein, as well as in Section 8. The significant results of the work and interpretation of the information in the form of three porphyry prospects, six CRD prospects, and one skarn prospect are presented in Section 7.7.

A total of 1,582-line km of data was collected along 200 m spaced, east/west lines with a nominal flying height of 50 m using a Scintrex cesium magnetometer and an RS-500 spectrometer for data acquisition. Data recovered from the survey were deemed satisfactory quality and a variety of gridded and filtered products were produced to highlight geological features. A 3D Magnetic Vector Inversion (MVI) was performed with the data; the MVI algorithm calculates and removes remanence for the data and provides a 3D location of magnetic bodies. The MVI results were added to the 3D geological model and have been shown to map the extents of the Silver City intrusion.

(DIAS) in two phases between October 2018 and June 2019. Over 72 km2 and 389 line-km (with 250 to 500 m data spacing) were surveyed covering the core of the Tintic project area and many of the surrounding mineral claims using IE’s proprietary Typhoon™ (Figure 7-2) geophysical transmitting system and the DIAS-32 3D receiver technology. The survey detected resistivity and chargeability to a depth of 1,500 m. Data collected using the Typhoon™ system have reduced noise, allowing for resolution of the subtle, deep features that may be missed with the use of other systems. The survey design employed at Tintic allowed for the data to be inverted into a 3D volume representing the true locations of recovered signals. This facilitated integration of the data into the 3D geological model. The final survey design is shown in Figure 7-3.

This survey aided in the identification of resistivity anomalies associated with porphyry copper and CRD styles of mineralization. The major technical challenge in the survey was measuring IP responses below variably conductive cover in terrain that was steep and rocky. Extensive pre-survey modelling was used to generate a survey plan that would minimize inductive electromagnetic coupling (EMC), maximize the production rate, and provide deep penetration of the subsurface. The IP data collected in the survey were inverted into a 3D representation of the data by Computational Geoscience Inc. (CGI). In general, EMC is minimal, and the results show a reliable estimation of the subsurface distribution of conductive and chargeable materials. The depth of investigation is typically approximately 1,000 m. However, it is less in the far east of the survey area due to the presence of thick conductive cover. In the more resistive areas, such as those dominated by carbonate rocks, the depth of investigation is closer to 1,500 m.


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 82 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Results of the survey indicate that there may be at least three large-scale porphyry prospects that coincide with previously identified geological prospects (Figure 7-4, Figure 7-5 and Figure 7-6). In addition, one potential CRD-style breccia pipe was identified. Within the carbonate rocks, the Typhoon™ conductivity data can discern the different stratigraphic units. Changes in the resistivity data have been found to correlate well to the lithological information obtained from the historical mine maps. On this basis, IE is confident in their ability to use the resistivity data to predict where the different limestone units are located and to determine areas of silica alteration away from the limestones.

A total of 941 new gravity stations were acquired on an offset grid of approximately 120-meter by 240-meter spacing and regional stations along roads and tracks at 250-meter to 500-meter spacing. Relative gravity measurements were made with LaCoste & Romberg Model-G gravity meters and Scintrex CG-5 Autograv gravity meters. Topographic surveying was performed with Trimble Real-Time Kinematic and Fast-Static GPS. Gravity data were processed to complete Bouguer gravity and forwarded to IE for further processing and interpretation. LaCoste & Romberg Model-G gravity meters, serial numbers, G-392, G-603 and Scintrex CG-5 Autograv gravity meter, serial number 1210 were used on the survey. Model-G gravity meters measure relative gravity changes with a resolution of 0.01 mGal. The manufacturer's calibration tables used to convert gravity meter counter units to milliGals were included with the delivered data.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 85 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 CG-5 gravity meters measure relative gravity changes with a resolution of 0.001 mGal. The CG-5 instrument samples the gravity signal at 6 Hz and averages the individual samples each second to filter out background seismic noise (Scintrex Ltd., 2012). The one-second averages were integrated over a minimum of a 90-second reading time to produce one record. Tilt and long-term drift corrections are made by the CG-5 at five second intervals over the reading time, and tide and temperature corrections are applied by the instrument software at the end of the reading time to produce the final recorded values provided in the raw ASCII text file (Scintrex Ltd., 2012). Modified calibration tables were used for meters G-392 and G-603 to correct interval scale factors used to convert gravity meter dial readings to milligals. The modifications were determined based on a 12-station gravity calibration loop in northern Nevada, covering a range of 274.60 mGal, and completed in August 2016. Both the original manufacturer's calibration tables and modified tables used to convert gravity meter counter units to milligals were included with the delivered data. The gravity survey is tied to the U.S. Department of Defense (reference number 4628-1) gravity base in Eureka, Utah (Jablonski, 1974). Two GPS base stations, designated TNT1 and TNT2 were used on this project. The coordinates and elevations of these stations were determined by making simultaneous GPS occupations in the Fast- Static mode with continuously operating reference stations (CORS). GPS data for the stations were submitted to the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) OPUS service which is an automated system that uses the three closest CORS stations to determine coordinates and elevations for unknown stations. The OPUS coordinates and elevations are listed in Table 7-2 . Table 7-2: OPUS coordinates and elevations Station WGS-84 Latitude WGS-84 Longitude WGS-84 Ellipsoid Ht.

The gravity stations were surveyed in WGS84 UTM Zone 12 North coordinates in meters and the GEOID18 (Conus) geoid model was used to calculate North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) elevations from ellipsoid heights. Stations were reached on foot or by ATV and 4x4 trucks were used for access. Some stations had to be moved due to trees or extreme terrain. A station location map is shown in Figure 7-7.

Coordinates in WGS84 UTM 12N meters. New field data including station identifier, local time, gravity reading, measured slope, and operator remarks were recorded in the field in notebooks and on survey controllers. Recorded data were then entered into a notebook computer or transferred digitally in the form of Geosoft RAW gravity text files. Survey coordinates were also transferred digitally. All gravity data processing was performed with the Gravity and Terrain Correction module of Geosoft Oasis Montaj (version 2022.1 [20200602.26]). Gravity data were processed to complete Bouguer anomaly over a range of densities from 2.00 g/cc through 3.00 g/cc at steps of 0.05 g/cc using standard procedures and formulas. A color contoured image of the complete Bouguer anomaly reduced at density 2.65 g/cc, is shown in Figure 7-8. A grid cell size of 100 meters was used. Terrain corrections were calculated to a distance of 167 km for each gravity station.

The area was divided into 500 x 500 m quadrants and was systematically mapped by IE staff with a focus on mapping the various lithologies and alteration present in the Silver City area. Historical geologic maps of the Silver City area were completed at a scale of 1:24,000 and broadly grouped the Silver City intrusive complex into one unit (Morris, 1964). The 2018 IE mapping program identified eight different intrusive units with varying phases and degrees of hydrothermal alteration, suggesting a complex, composite intrusive history impacted by complicated hydrothermal alteration (Figure 7-9). Detailed property geology derived as a result of this surface mapping work is described in Section 6.3 of this report. Coincident with surface mapping, rock and chip samples were collected for various analyses. These are detailed in subsequent subsections.

A total of 2,283 soil samples, including 175 QA/QC samples, were collected on an offset grid with 70 m sample spacing (Figure 7-10). Only 1,172 soil samples were considered non-contaminated. The anomalous Au (ppm) area identified with an arrow in Figure 7-10. relates to anthropogenic contamination and was utilized by IE as a baseline study for their core processing facility. Each sample was analyzed for 53 trace element geochemistry by ALS Minerals and the coarse fractions of the samples were analyzed by TerraSpec® to characterize the soil mineralogy that may potentially serve as a vector to mineralization. Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) samples were inserted into the sampling (Section 8.1.1) and analytical workflow and results indicate that there was no bias or contamination present in the analytical results (Van Geffen, 2018). In 2023, an additional 286 soil samples were taken, expanding the survey primarily to the northwest. The Cu-Mo-Au anomalous area is roughly coincident with the zones of stockwork quartz veining and argillic alteration and potentially indicative of a porphyry prospect. In the QP’s opinion, the soil sampling grid is reasonably spaced to identify soil anomalies. IE’s approach, i.e., taking into consideration various metallic elements and ratios to identify prospect areas, is appropriate for porphyry-style, CRD, and fissure vein mineralization exploration.

IE included Blanks, Certified Reference Material (CRM), and duplicates as part of the QA/QC (Section 8.1.2). The rock grab samples were collected with a rock hammer and each comprised approximately 0.5 to 2.0 kg of material collected in a large plastic sample bag. An ALS sample ticket was inserted into the bag and a duplicate ticket stapled to the collar of the bag. The sample number was written in black marker on the outside of the bag near the base and top collar for quick identification. The sample bag was sealed by twisting the bag collar and then securing with a large plastic zip tie. A duplicate sample was collected every twenty (20) samples. Standards were inserted every twenty-five (25) samples and blanks inserted every twenty (20) samples. Whole Rock Geochemistry A lithologically representative suite of unaltered to weakly altered igneous rocks were selected for whole rock litho-geochemistry to better classify the igneous phases. The geochemical results were then plotted in ioGASTM using a variety of classification diagrams. In general, the intrusive rocks of the Silver City suite are high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic in composition (Figure 7-11). The Sunbeam Granodiorite Porphyry dikes (SGDP) data frequently plot as anomalous relative to the rest of the data because it has so far rarely been identified without alteration, and as such these may not be representative data. The volcanic rocks tend to be more K-rich than the plutonic phases and are broadly shoshonitic. Swansea Quartz Rhyolite (SQR) is notably much more siliceous than the other volcanic phases. The total alkali-silica (“TAS”) plot in below shows clear compositional groupings for the various intrusive and extrusive phases present in the East Tintic Mountains.

SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 93 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Geochronology A suite of 12 samples from a variety of representative intrusive phases were submitted to Dr. Victor Valencia of ZirChron LLC for U-Pb age dating on zircons (Table 7-3). The samples were selected to provide geochronologic age constraints on some of the major intrusive phases observed in the multiphase Silver City intrusive complex. It should be noted that these samples were selected prior to the completion of the detailed 1:2,500 scale mapping and that subsequent intrusive phases have been identified which are not included in these data. These units are the Sunbeam Granite Porphyry (“SGP”) and the Murray Hill Quartz Granodiorite Porphyry (“MHP”) dikes which crosscut every unit they encounter, and the Monzodiorite Porphyry (“MDP”) which is only crosscut by the SGP in Skarn Valley. The margin of error for the dates ranges from ± 400 - 800 Ky, with one outlier in HPXGC008 at 1,300Ky, allowing for overlap between some samples. However, the calculated age date for these samples broadly reflects the observed crosscutting field relationships. Swansea Quartz Rhyolite (SQR, 35.4Ma ±0.4) is clearly the oldest igneous phase in these data followed by the Sunrise Peak Stock (34.1Ma +0.4 -0.8) and the associated Sunrise Peak Volcanics (SPV, 33.4Ma +0.4 -0.6, 32.9Ma ±0.5). The intrusive phases in the mapping area have clustered age dates with the oldest attributed to the Silver City Monzodiorite (SCMDe, 32.8Ma ±0.4 and SCMDp, 32.3Ma +1.3 -0.7) and closely followed by the Sunbeam Granodiorite Porphyry dikes (SGDP, 32.6Ma +0.6 -0.5), Crowded Granodiorite Porphyry (CGP, 32.5Ma +0.5 -0.4), and finally the Megacrystic Quartz Monzonite Porphyry (QMP, 32.2Ma ±0.4). These dates are well within each other’s margin for error, so the field observations which have SCMD as the oldest followed by CGP, RFRM, SCQM, MDP(?), SGDP, MHP(?), SGP, and finally QMP are still valid with these data. The U/Pb age dates from Silver City intrusive rocks show that this multiphase intrusion was emplaced over a relatively short 1 My time period, similar to the suite of intrusions that formed the Bingham porphyry deposit (Deino and Keith, 1997). A paragenetic diagram of the various intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks observed in the Tintic District has been constructed based on IE age dates obtained during the 2018 field season, field mapping and observed crosscutting relationships, and a review of historical literature. In addition to the zircon ages measured by IE, many previously published Ar-Ar and K-Ar ages from a variety of minerals around the Tintic District are noted on the paragenetic diagram. The Dragon and Blackjack halloysite deposits contain pods of massive white alunite intergrown with the halloysite clay and the spatial relationship of these two minerals suggests they were formed at the same time under similar conditions. These clays formed at the contact between Paleozoic carbonates and the Silver City intrusive complex where clusters of fissure veins cross the contact. Samples of massive alunite were collected from the Blackjack (HPX-AL01) and the Dragon (HPX-AL02) open pits and were sent to the New Mexico Tech geochronology laboratory for 40Ar/39Ar age dating. The samples yielded ages of 5.29±0.04 Ma and 5.36±0.03 Ma (Table 7-4). The crystal form of the alunite from Dragon was found to be of the tabular ‘platy’ variety, which would point towards a high-T, highly acidic origin that could easily be attributable to a high sulfidation alteration event (Garcia et al., 2009). This is only one preliminary line of evidence towards the clay deposit being of hypogene origin.

The study focused on the Tintic Main and Southwest Districts and aimed to accurately map the distribution of phyllosilicate minerals related to hydrothermal alteration and identify zoning patterns in order to vector towards a potential causative intrusion. The research also included petrography, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) using Back-Scattered Electron and Energy- Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (BSE-EDS) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis to verify SWIR mineral identifications and inferred mineral geochemical variations. A handheld Terraspec HALO instrument was used to collect SWIR measurements from outcrop across the Silver City intrusive complex and some historical drilling. This instrument collects data on the reflectivity of hydrous minerals over a short wave and infrared spectrum which can then be correlated to a database to identify various mineral species. A total of 3,046 measurements were collected across the Silver City intrusive complex at surface and 3,080 throughout drill core and chips (Figure 7-12). All 6,126 samples span a surface area of ~20 km2 and a depth of over 980 m from 18 drill holes. The spectral study delineated white mica crystallinity gradients, used as a proxy for temperature, and spectrally-inferred geochemical variations of some minerals, such as Fe-Mg proportion in chlorite, Na-K proportion in alunite, and Na-K-(Fe ± Mg) proportions in sericite. These zoning patterns are used to vector to hydrothermal hotspots and identify relationships between clay speciation, igneous phases and metal distribution.

Around the Lucky Boy prospect in the Ruby Hollow valley; 2. Along the Dragon Valley fault, east of the Martha Washington mine; and 3. At the intersection of the Dragon Valley fault and the Black Jack lineament. Source: HPX (2020) Figure 7-12: Distribution of the Wavelength Position of the White Mica Al-OH Spectral Absorption Feature at ~2200 nm Note: Black dashed polygons outline high temperature zones consistent with low Al-OH values – inferring higher acidity of formation fluids; orange dashed polygons outline pyrophyllite-diaspore occurrences and trends, fairly consistent with high acidity; purple dashed polygon highlights retrograde skarn alteration associated with a small zone of high acidity. The three zones are characterized by pervasive quartz-sericite-pyrite (“phyllic”) alteration and moderate to high vein density, plus higher white mica crystallinity values and lower Al-OH values. They are interpreted to be zones where higher temperature and acidic hydrothermal fluids circulated, confirming previous hypotheses inferred by IE that these are possible porphyritic centers. These zones are coincident with outcropping porphyry dikes of the Silver City intrusive complex, anomalous soil geochemistry in Cu, Au, and Mo, and strong chargeability anomalies at depth.

(Reynolds, 2019) for fluid inclusion (FLIN”) analysis (Figure 7-13). Study of quartz vein fluid inclusions allows for the approximate determination of pressure, temperature, and depth of vein formation and characterization of the style of vein as it relates to a porphyry or epithermal system. Monecke et al.

SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 97 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Hedenquist et al. (1998) described the fluid inclusion characteristics existing between a porphyry Cu deposit and a high-sulfidation epithermal deposit. Above, but close to the causative porphyry pluton, vapor-filled inclusions are ubiquitous and predominate, but rare high-salinity inclusions can be found in samples collected closest to the pluton. Over an interval as small as a few hundred meters distance from the causative pluton, the high-salinity inclusions with the NaCl crystals decrease markedly in abundance, but the vapor-filled inclusions persist far above into the high-sulfidation alteration zones. Fluids escaping a porphyry pluton can produce A, B and banded veins close to and above the pluton and fluid inclusions in these are dominantly vapor-filled (Hedenquist et al. 1998; Monecke et al. 2018). These vein types are observed at Tintic in this study, and such vein types are referred to as high-level A veins or high-level B veins, and banded type. Fluid inclusion characteristics in quartz of A veins are different depending on the relative depth of crystallization of the intrusion. A veins in deeper plutons contain only liquid-rich, two-phase inclusions, whereas the common occurrence of highly saline brine inclusions coexisting with vapor-rich inclusions (Figure 7-14) are found in A and B veins from within potassic zones in porphyry copper deposits associated with intermediate depth plutonism. The combination of high-salinity and vapor rich inclusions being ubiquitous in A and B veins (Figure 7-14) is the telltale indicator that a potassic zone of an intermediate to shallow pluton has been intersected. Source: HPX (2019) Figure 7-14: Fluid inclusion population in quartz from an “A vein” in the core of a potassic zone in an intermediate depth pluton forming the porphyry copper deposit at Santa Rita, NM, USA. High-salinity inclusions (those containing a crystal of halite) and vapor- rich inclusions (those with a large dark vapor bubble) are ubiquitous. No classic A, B, C, or D porphyry quartz veins as described in Monecke et al. (2018) were observed in the eight Tintic samples. However, fluid inclusion petrographic evidence shows that the environment of formation for the veins is at levels above some causative intrusion that the magmatic fluids were derived from. Many samples contain quartz veining that would form above a causative pluton: banded veins (Monecke et al., 2018; Muntean and Einaudi, 2000), high-level A veins, and high-level B veins. A few samples have quartz that is commonly found as the latest quartz veining crossing any level of a porphyry system, commonly carrying base and/or precious metals. This is referred to as E quartz veining (Monecke et al., 2018) and these veins are likely related to late high sulfidation fissure veining.


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 98 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 No samples of the current submitted batch showed an inclusion population, though sample 007 was the closest: more high-salinity inclusions were found in what appears to be B vein quartz crosscut by sulfides in this sample. Most of the samples had experienced temperatures higher than 450°C early in their histories, which is likely why some remnant potassic-like alteration has been described for some of the samples. Porphyry plutons that exsolved the magmatic fluids must be below the levels where the samples were collected, neglecting possible structural offsets. 7.4 Historical Data Compilation 7.4.1 3D Geological and Infrastructure Model IE has obtained geological and mining information in the form of historical maps, sections, drilling reports, drill logs and assay results reports. As a significant component of the exploration program and part of the re-evaluation of the District, historical mine workings and geological maps were georeferenced and digitized in 2D (ArcGIS) and then 3D (Leapfrog GeoTM). Three-dimensional geological interpretations were derived from historical 2D plan maps and sections with geological interpretations on them, supplemented by IE detailed surface mapping data. The 3D geological interpretation was also supported by historical drilling (Sections 7.4.2) and IE-collected geophysical data. The 3D geological model is kept up to date with any additional information that is made available. To date, over 8,700 historical maps have been scanned to PDF by IE and have been sorted by exploration potential area/region and scale. Of these, more than 500 maps and cross-sections were georeferenced and systematically digitized and incorporated into the 3D model. In order to ensure mine workings were correctly located in space, the IE team utilized both property boundaries on maps and the locations of four historical mine monuments (aka control points) for spatial reference (Figure 7-15). IE had the mine monuments professionally surveyed in order to ensure accuracy. In 2020, IE enlisted Focus Engineering and Surveying LLC of Midvale, Utah to complete a survey of a large portion of the Sioux-Ajax Tunnel. The final survey data were added to the 3D model and compared to the Sioux-Ajax Tunnel as modeled from historical maps. Estimates of offset between the two were approximately 3 m laterally and 5 m vertically. Variability in the position of some mine workings, depending on the scale from which they were digitized, can range from <5 m up to 25 m on average. This historical data compilation program allowed for the 3D visualization of historical mine workings, previously mined mineralized structures, structural features, intrusive and extrusive rocks, and stratigraphy (Figure 7-16, Figure 7-17, Figure 7-18). Structural features and favorable stratigraphic horizons that may host mineralization were assessed and prospects identified using the 3D model, combined with geophysical data, as a targeting tool. Mineralization prospects include extensions of known, previously mined ‘ore runs’ (laterally and to depth); newly identified mineralized zones and breccia bodies; possible porphyry intrusions; and possible hydrothermal fluid flow pathways. The QP also notes that the modeled “ore runs” shown on figures in this report represent enveloping surfaces that were digitized from the historical maps and represent the CRD systems including, but not limited to, historically mined material.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 103 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 7.4.2 Drill hole Database Compilation IE has compiled a drill hole database from over 125 years of exploration and development operations in the Tintic District by dozens of historical operators. Early exploration efforts primarily utilized primitive surface methods (pick and shovel), exploration drifts and shafts to locate mineralization, with negligible exploration drill data. However, the more modern exploration programs undertaken from the 1950’s onwards provide valuable drill hole data that have been integrated into the current database (HPX, 2020). A total of 489 drill holes were completed historically on the Tintic Project by several operators, however not all of the details are available. The IE historical database contains known collar locations for 442 diamond, reverse circulation (“RC”), and rotary air blast (“RAB”) drill holes totaling approximately 72,212 m. Drill lengths are unavailable for the other 47 drill holes. The accuracy and certainty of collar locations are variable, due to the many sources of information. Some collar coordinates were derived from georeferenced maps and figures, abandoned mine-grid translations and state UPC geographical, un-projected references, each of which have uncertainties attached to them regarding their positions. 47 holes have collar locations recorded in undocumented or unknown mine-grid datums and will be added to the database when their locations can be deduced. 193 drill holes are collared on the Applied Minerals “Dragon” halloysite mine property (12,635 m total), and consist primarily of geotechnical, geological, and mineral data pertinent to the clay and iron-oxide mining operations there (HPX, 2020). Additional information about the historical drilling programs is provided in Table 5-3. It is the QP’s opinion that drill hole positions be treated with caution when utilized for geological modelling, due to the varied level of accuracy. However, they can be utilized for regional scale geological modelling, which IE has completed in Leapfrog GeoTM. Assay results have been compiled from 221 drill holes across the Tintic District. Records of analytical methods for assay data are limited and the assay database consists of variable element analyses; these range from comprehensive 43 element ICP-MS data from analyses performed on drill hole core from the Big Hill diamond drill hole program conducted from 2008 to 2014 in the East Tintic sub-district, to Cu-Au only results from RC drilling in the Treasure Hill area (HPX, 2020). In the QP’s opinion, historical drill hole analytical results should be treated with caution and only utilized for indicative purposes until twin drilling is completed to verify position, orientation and grade, as no supporting QA/QC information is available for the respective drill holes. In October 2019, IE completed a one-week handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) sample analysis verification program of 2,200 historical coarse rejects, percussion chips, and pulps from 15 historical drill holes. Each XRF measurement was taken in a controlled and isolated environment to prevent radiation exposure. This exercise allowed for an indicative comparison to the historical results. However, there will be conditional bias with chip sample results as they are not homogenized. This was evident in the results as the chips performed poorly in the duplicate tests (HPX, 2020). In the QP’s opinion these results should not be utilized in the definition of any exploration potential areas as the samples were not homogenized. The QP notes that the accuracy of handheld XRF machines is lower than laboratory analytical results.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 104 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 7.5 Sioux-Ajax Tunnel Mapping and Geochemical Sampling Detailed mapping and rock chip grab sampling for geochemical analysis were conducted in the Sioux- Ajax Tunnel during the winter and spring of 2021. The goal of this work was to constrain the structural, stratigraphic, and geochemical signature that is associated with CRD deposits and fissure vein systems along the Sioux-Ajax Fault Zone and integrate legacy data with recent mapping data. Detailed geological mapping data collected during this program included lithology, hydrothermal alteration, and structural orientations. The geological mapping data were applied to generate cross-sectional interpretations of structure and stratigraphy in the Tintic Main District. Rock chip samples were collected from the ribs (sides) of the Tunnel at variable spacing to represent changes in lithology and alteration. Samples were analyzed for multi-element composition and gold fire assay, as described in Section 8.1. Geochemical results were plotted on geologic maps and subjected to spatial data analysis by lithological and hydrothermal alteration type to identify areas for future exploration. 7.6 Drilling IE commenced drilling with two reverse circulation (RC) holes (TTR-001 and TTR-002) followed by a fan of four diamond drill holes (TTD-003 through TTD-006) in 2021. Drilling resumed in late 2022 with one diamond drill hole (TTD-007) completed in early 2023. Drilling resumed again in May 2023 and continued until the winter break shutdown on December 17, 2023 while TDD-017 was in progress. All drilling completed to December 15, 2023 is summarized in Table 7-5. The purpose of each drill hole and the key results are summarized in Table 7-6.

Drilling intercepted weathered chlorite-altered Silver City monzonite. TTR-002 West Treasure Hill RC hole drilled to test a strong conductivity response in shallow pediment at the mouth of the wash draining Silver City area. Intercepted chlorite+-epidote altered Silver City monzonite with disseminated pyrite. TTD-003 Gold Chain TTD-003, TTD-004, TTD-005, TTD-006 were drilled as a fan from a single set-up to test an area of strong resistivity along the Gold Chain fissure, which was interpreted to be a favourable area for replacement-style mineralization. These holes intersected extensively brecciated host carbonates, potentially as a collapse above a deeper zone of dissolution. No significant mineralization was intersected, however the extensive collapse brecciation intersected should be considered favourable for potential replacement style mineralization nearby. TTD-004 Gold Chain TTD-005 Gold Chain TTD-006 Gold Chain TTD-007 Sunbeam Collared in the inner annulus of the Sunbeam Chargeability feature near the Lucky Boy Mine, TTD-007 was designed to test a "donut hole" negative chargeability feature. The hole intersected several different phases of the Silver City intrusive complex with low intensity propylitic and clay alteration associated with the distal expression of a porphyry system. One zone of intense clay alteration, and quartz-clay-pyrite veining interpreted as steeply dipping to the WNW, correlates with the projected down dip expression of the Joe-Undine high sulfidation fissure vein mine. From 775 m veining increases with the presence of quartz veins with pyrite content of around 5% total rock volume. An intense zone of veining and thick 10-20 cm pyrite veins is present from 790.40 m to 804.00 m with associated quartz and clay selvages. TTD-008 Rabbits Foot TTD-008 was designed to test the northern side of a chargeability “ring” feature interpreted as the outer pyrite and phyllic altered halo to a porphyry system. The drill hole intersected a number of intrusive phases from the Silver City intrusive complex. Rare quartz-pyrite-clay veins are present at a sparse density of 1-2 veins per 10 m, with some localized increasing intensity with intermediate argillic clay alteration of the feldspars in surrounding host rock. The hole did not explain the Typhoon™ anomaly but was not directed to test the core of that feature. TTD-009 Deep Mammoth TTD-009 was drilled from south to north to test below the Deep Mammoth chargeability feature and intersected several silver, lead, zinc and gold bearing veins with weak copper mineralization. The lowermost formations in the carbonate package were altered and intruded by several dikes with clay and pyrite alteration. The most gold- and copper-rich mineralization was associated with cross-cutting “fissure” style mineralization, however some lead- and zinc-rich mineralized skarn was intersected in the Ophir Formation.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 106 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Hole ID Prospect Summary TTD-010 Carisa Pipe TTD-010 was drilled to test this resistivity pipe prospect and intersected a wide zone of brecciation and weakly anomalous base metal geochemistry in the area of the prospect. This is likely sufficient to explain the Typhoon™-derived resistivity feature. While the rocks intersected were favourable hosts, there was little indication that it had been exposed to significant mineralizing fluids. Shallower in TTD-010, the hole traversed a very wide zone of marbelization and silicification, interpreted to be a thermal alteration halo to the Carisa stock, a pre-mineral intrusion to the south. There may be potential for mineralization at depth on the western and northern margins of the Carisa stock TTD-011 Lower Mammoth (Billingsley Breccia) TTD-011 was drilled to test below an area of extensive collapse breccias mapped in historical workings at the Lower Mammoth. The hole was collared near the intersection of the Mammoth fault and the Sioux-Ajax fault and traversed over 100 m of extensive jasperoid and brecciation in the shallow portions of the hole. At depth, the hole intersected several gougy zones with elevated base metals that may represent fissures. The hole drooped and intersected quartzite sooner than expected. However, the west-most Ophir formation showed extensive skarn (calc-silicate with local magnetite) alteration. It is unclear if the hole was drilled deep enough to traverse below the mapped breccia itself. TTD-012 Western Run TTD-012 was drilled to test the potential of a western trend of carbonate replacement mineralization associated with discrete Typhoon™ anomalies. The hole drilled the overturned sequence of Paleozoic rocks, traversing the anomalies without intersecting much alteration. However the hole was lost in highly broken and calc-silicate altered rocks that may be associated with the western splay of the Sioux-Ajax fault. TTD- 013/A Deep Mammoth TTD-013 (wedged at 461m to become TTD-013A) was drilled into the chargeability feature along a west-northwesterly azimuth and intersected extensive marble, breccia, and alteration on the west flank of the Carisa stock that persisted for several hundred meters until approximately 800 m downhole. The hole then cut approximately 500 m of host carbonates with patches of bleaching and rare manganoan “BBQ rock” veins. A zone of calc-silicate alteration (epidote) manifested in a shaly horizon with well developed “BBQ rock” calcite on fractures from 1335 to 1358 m. After a short unaltered section, the core gradually becomes more intensely calc-silicate altered with increasing pyrite until the contact with the basal Tintic Quartzite is encountered at 1477 m where no major signs of alteration or veining were encountered. TTD-014 Black Dragon TTD-014 was drilled to test a strong density feature near shallow historical mines. The hole intersected several narrow mineralized fissure zones and cut approximately 800 m of marble and bleaching with increasing lead-zinc-silver-rich skarn alteration towards the end of hole. Nothing to explain the density anomaly was noted, so the hole is interpreted to have drilled over top of a potentially significant zone of dense material (massive sulfides or skarn). TTD-015 Iron Blossom TTD-015 was drilled to test below the Iron Blossom mine halfway between TTD-009 and TTD-014 which both intersected lead-zinc-rich mineralization. The hole traversed extensive zones of bleaching with some "BBQ rock", though overall it was less altered than TTD-014. The bottom of the hole is extensively calc-silicate altered in the Ophir formations. Assays are pending.

The hole intersected approximately 600 m of high-temperature porphyry-style veining and alteration from around 800 m to the end of hole at 1435.61 m hosted in a monzodiorite phase of the Silver City intrusive complex. Abundant quartz- sericite-pyrite D type veins are present from 800 m downhole. These overprint an earlier potassic vein assemblage of sheeted, sub-vertical, quartz-pyrite centreline with biotite-pyrite which are present from 960 m to the end of hole. Veins are typically sheeted and sub vertical with some minor stockwork zones; vein density ranges from 5-20 veins per metre. Rare higher temperature quartz-filled A veins are also observed. The sulfide assemblage is dominated by pyrite, from 2-8% total rock volume. Very minor chalcopyrite and molybdenite is observed but the sulfide assemblage is dominated by pyrite.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 109 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Abandonment procedures for all drilling performed during the campaigns were designed and held to meet or exceed State mandated requirements. The majority of drilling reaching or exceeding depths over 100 m utilized borehole abandonment of State approved methods involving: abandonite to approximately 20 m below the geological contact between bedrock and overburden sediments, if present, then the installation of appropriately sized Bradley plugs, labeled with the associated borehole ID, as the base for pumping and curing State approved cement across the geological contact to seal the interface, followed by additional abandonite to approximately 20 m below the topographic surface, with an approximately 20 m cement cap, with the hole tagged and labeled for collar demarcation. Shallow drillholes, particularly those drilled utilizing only reverse circulation or sonic drilling methods, were abandoned using cement from total depth to surface with cap, with the hole tagged and labeled for collar demarcation. 7.6.1 Logging Procedures RC Drill Chips Chips are collected by the drillers in bags and representative samples are placed into chip trays for geological logging. IE geologists enter geological information into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet while logging, including lithology, alteration, veining, and mineralization. Optional characterizers, including color and grain size, are available for further identification. Drill Core Core is received and laid out in proper sequence on the logging tables for checking proper boxing of core, meter conversions, washing, geotechnical logging, marking orientation lines, geological logging, sampling, and photography. Core is photographed wet, dry, and under ultraviolet (UV) light – these photos are captured directly into Imago. IE geotechnicians collect data from the core including: total core recovery (TCR), rock quality designation (RQD), intact rock strength (IRS), discontinuity logging, and specific gravity (SG) measurements according to IE standard operating procedures (SOPs). IE geologists enter geological information into several tabs within MX Deposit™ while logging, including lithology, alteration, mineralization, oxides, vein zones, structure zones, structure point data, oriented core measurements, and physical property measurements including magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, and induced polarization (IP) chargeability measurements. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements are taken by IE wherever mineralization of interest is present for internal use. SWIR and near-infrared (NIR) spectral data are collected with a portable infrared spectrometer and analyzed by IE for interpreting and determining minerals of interest. SWIR and NIR spectrometer data are analyzed both in-house utilizing The Spectral Geologist (TSG™) software as well as outsourced to aiSIRIS™, a cloud-based mineral interpretation artificial intelligence (AI) system.

SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 111 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 7.7.1 Porphyry Prospects The Silver City intrusive complex is the focus of mineralizing fluids for the Tintic Mining District and is highly prospective for buried porphyry-style mineralization at depth. The multiphase intrusive stock displays a similar intrusive history and composition to the Bingham, Stockton, and Southwest Tintic porphyries. Detailed geologic mapping (Section 7.2) has discerned at least eight intrusive phases that become progressively more porphyritic with time and that are all crosscut by porphyry-style hydrothermal alteration and veining that is coincident with anomalous Au-Cu-Mo in soils (Section 7.3.1). Illite crystallinity displays a clear vector towards a central heat source in the core of the Silver City complex (Section 7.3.3), a trend which is also supported by fluid inclusion survey data (Section 7.3.4). The fluid inclusion survey has identified vapor-dominated and moderately saline inclusions in the Rabbit’s Foot and Sunbeam-Joe Undine areas. These types of inclusions form above a causative porphyry intrusion from high temperature (>450° C) magmatic fluids intersecting the vapor + NaCl stability region of the H2O-NaCl system. Typhoon™ IP data have discerned a large chargeability anomaly coincident with the above-mentioned anomalies (Section 7.1.2). These data provide several lines of geological evidence for the presence of at least one large porphyry center in the Silver City stock and two principal porphyry prospects have been identified at Rabbit’s Foot Hill and below the past-producing Sunbeam Mine. Additionally, the Typhoon™ IP survey data have yielded a third porphyry prospect below the past producing Mammoth breccia pipe to the north of the Silver City stock. Three diamond drill holes, TTD-007, TTD-008, and TTD-016, totaling 3,180.44 m, have been completed in the Rabbit’s Foot and Sunbeam porphyry prospects. TTD-016 intersected approximately 600 m of high-temperature porphyry-style veining and alteration hosted in a monzodiorite phase of the Silver City intrusive complex from ~800 m to the end of hole at 1,435.61 m. The vein assemblage of biotite-quartz-pyrite overprinted by quartz-sericite-pyrite is interpreted as early potassic veining overprinted by later D type veining consistent with phyllic alteration. The sulfide assemblage is pyrite dominant with very minor chalcopyrite and molybdenite. TTD-016 is confirmation of the presence of a porphyry system at the Sunbeam porphyry prospect with a significant intersection of porphyry-style high-temperature veining with abundant pyrite. Figure 7-21 shows the simplified lithology and geophysical data across the Silver City intrusive complex and highlights the regions of the three porphyry prospects. Figure 7-22 is a schematic section through the Silver City intrusive complex showing the interpreted position of a postulated porphyry center in relation to the main Tintic district (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020a).

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 114 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Rabbit’s Foot Porphyry Prospect The Rabbit’s Foot porphyry prospect is located at the intersection of the E-W trending Dragon structure and the NNE trending Blackjack-Mammoth structure (Figure 7-23). Several prominent CRD ‘ore runs’ and fissure veins coalesce in this area and several of the historical mines, although small in scale, produced high-grade copper, gold, and, anecdotally, one mine produced some molybdenum. Historical mines in this area include the Murray Hill shafts, the Rabbit’s Foot Mine, the Rabbit’s Foot Ridge Au Prospect, and the Yankee Girl Mine which were active from roughly 1870 - 1900. At surface, this area falls within a zone of strongly anomalous Cu-Au-Mo soil geochemistry (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020a). The Rabbit’s foot area is crosscut by stockwork quartz-filled A-veins and the igneous host rock has been pervasively altered to K-feldspar (potassic alteration). A historical shallow rotary drill hole on Rabbit’s Foot ridge drilled into the potassic-altered zone of quartz stockwork veins and intersected disseminated bornite in the last 75 ft (23 m) of drilling. The extent of potassic alteration on Rabbit’s Foot ridge is limited in lateral extent, and this likely reflects an upflow zone of porphyry-related hydrothermal fluids. A fluid inclusion survey of the stockwork quartz veins has identified ubiquitous vapor-filled inclusions with rare NaCl inclusions. These veins formed from the intersection of magmatic fluids with the Vapor + NaCl stability region of the H2O-NaCl system. Generally, such veins form at the point of vapor flashing during high-level ascent above a porphyry system in an area between the porphyry and overlying high-sulfidation system. The causative pluton might be intersected within 500 m, neglecting potential structural offsets, which is in line with the modeled depth of the chargeability and conductivity anomalies (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020a). One diamond drill hole, TTD-008 of 747.83 m depth has been completed in the Rabbit’s Foot porphyry prospect. TTD-008 was designed to test the northern side of a chargeability “ring” feature interpreted as the outer pyrite and phyllic altered halo to a porphyry system. The drill hole intersected a number of intrusive phases from the Silver City intrusive complex. Rare quartz-pyrite-clay veins are present at a sparse density of 1-2 veins per 10 m, with some localized increasing intensity with intermediate argillic clay alteration of the feldspars in surrounding host rock.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 116 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Sunbeam Porphyry Prospect The Sunbeam porphyry prospect is located below the past producing Sunbeam and Joe-Undine high- sulfidation fissure vein mines. The fissure veins in this area likely reflect late thermal collapse of an underlying porphyry system as they crosscut zones of earlier potassic alteration and A-vein quartz stockwork. Fluid inclusion surveys of the stockwork quartz veining in the Sunbeam prospect have identified them as high-level A and B-style veins above the core of a porphyry system (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020a). Weakly mineralized potassic altered intrusive rock with disseminated chalcopyrite has been observed in the King James mine dumps just north of the Joe-Undine mine area (Figure 7-24). This is evidence in support of an early mineralized and potassic altered porphyry system active in this area, which has subsequently been overprinted by later high-sulfidation and advanced argillic alteration (Figure 7-25). The Sunbeam area has been a focus area of interest from the beginning of the mapping campaign by IE due to coincident Cu-Au mineralization along the Sunbeam fissure, nearby porphyry-style potassic alteration and quartz veining in porphyritic rocks, strong phyllic alteration and quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP) veining, and Cu-Au-Mo geochemical anomaly in soils at surface (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020a). The Sunbeam prospect is crosscut by several generations of ~N-S trending porphyritic dikes that are variably phyllic and potassic (phlogopite) altered. Potassic alteration in the Sunbeam area is focused in and around the porphyry dikes and alteration is associated with narrow A-type quartz ± magnetite and magnetite veining. A Cu-Au-Mo soil geochemical anomaly is centered on the most significant part of this alteration zone east of Joe-Undine and along the NNE-trending Sunbeam fissure vein. Widespread phyllic alteration predominantly occurs in the volcanic rocks and the CGP around QSP veins along the historically exploited fissure veins. Some of the strongest QSP veining and phyllic alteration is present in volcanic rocks on surface at the Lucky Boy Mine, and it arcs to the northeast and west-southwest with intermittent tourmaline alteration. Together these phyllic alteration zones encircle the potassic alteration, quartz and magnetite veining, and geochemical anomalies east of Joe Undine. Historical drill hole STR-26 ended in confirmed porphyry mineralization grading 0.4% Cu (chalcopyrite) and 0.2 g/t Au with phlogopite alteration. This drill hole was collared just outside of the primary chargeability anomaly and it just grazed the edge of the porphyry system (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020a). Two diamond drill holes, TTD-007, 997 m depth and TTD-016, 1435.61 m depth, have been completed in the Sunbeam porphyry prospect. TTD-007 was designed to test the inner southern side of a chargeability “ring” feature interpreted as the outer pyrite and phyllic altered halo to a porphyry system, a “negative anomaly” in the geophysics. TTD-007 intersected several different phases of the Silver City intrusive complex with low intensity propylitic and clay alteration associated with the distal expression of a porphyry system. One intense zone of intense clay alteration, quartz-clay-pyrite veining interpreted as steeply dipping to the WNW correlates with the projected down dip expression of the Joe Daly-Undine high sulfidation fissure vein mine. From 775 m veining increases with the presence of quartz veins with pyrite content of around 5%. An intense zone of veining and thick 10-20 cm pyrite veins is present from 790.40 m to 804.00 m with associated quartz and clay selvage.

Rare higher temperature quartz-filled A-veins are also observed. The sulfide assemblage is dominated by pyrite, from 2-8% total rock volume. Very minor chalcopyrite and molybdenite is observed but the sulfide assemblage is dominated by pyrite.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 121 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Mammoth Porphyry Prospect A deep, broad chargeability anomaly at approximately 1 km depth was recognized in early inversions of Typhoon™ data and was interpreted as potentially indicative of disseminated sulfides formed around a deep porphyry or skarn deposit below or adjacent to the Mammoth Breccia Pipe (Figure 7-28). The chargeability anomaly is below a distinct bedding-parallel resistivity anomaly and has a clear pipe-like resistive feature that is roughly centered above the mineralization prospect. Several copper and/or gold-rich (i.e. relative to the Tintic Main District average values) mineralized fissures occur above the geophysical anomaly radiating outwards. However, the centrally located Carisa Stock is nearby at surface to the southeast, indicating some capacity for intrusive activity in the area and therefore possible development of mineralization (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020a). TTD-009 was drilled from south to north to test below the chargeability feature and intersected several silver, lead, zinc and gold bearing veins with weak copper mineralization. The lowermost formations in the carbonate package were altered and intruded by several dikes with clay and pyrite alteration. The most gold- and copper-rich mineralization was associated with cross-cutting “fissure” style mineralization, however some lead- and zinc-rich mineralized skarn was intersected in the Ophir Formation. TTD-013 (wedged at 461 m to become TTD-013A) was drilled into the chargeability feature along a west-northwesterly azimuth and intersected extensive marble, breccia, and alteration on the west flank of the Carisa stock that persisted for several hundred meters until approximately 800 m downhole. The hole then cut approximately 500 m of host carbonates with patches of bleaching and rare manganoan “BBQ rock” veins. A zone of calc-silicate alteration (epidote) manifested in a shaly horizon with well developed “BBQ rock” calcite on fractures from 1,335 to 1,358 m. After a short unaltered section, the core gradually becomes more intensely calc-silicate altered with increasing pyrite until the contact with the basal Tintic Quartzite is encountered at 1,477 m in the north-westerly quadrant of the chargeability feature where no major signs of alteration or veining were encountered. Taken together, TTD-009 and TTD-013 have demonstrated that a porphyry system does not exist within or immediately below the center of the Mammoth chargeability feature. The holes do show very encouraging signs of replacement potential to the east of their deeper projections, on the west flank of the Carisa Stock. Further, the results do not preclude the potential for a significant porphyry fluid source to the west and north, immediately below the depth extents of the Mammoth and Grand Central Mines. IE gained access to historical data in 2023 that showed some unverified underground drilling results from 1960’s drilling that intercepted broad zones of copper mineralization, presumably structurally controlled, in drill holes collared from the deepest levels of the Mammoth Mine (Figure 7-28) in an area called New Park. Petrological data showing clear hypogene chalcocite upgrading in mineralization associated with New Park indicates drilling in the area would be informative.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 123 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 7.7.2 Carbonate Replacement Deposit Prospects Carisa Group Fissure The carbonate succession below the historical Northern Spy and Carisa mines are considered to be priority drilling prospects by IE, predominantly for high-grade Cu-Au-Ag lode vein and breccia pipe replacement bodies. Mineralized veins at Carisa and Northern Spy were historically exploited down to relatively shallow depths (270 m and 210 m below surface respectively), yielding some of the highest- grade Au and Ag values in the Tintic District. Despite the high grades, production in these mines was limited due to the complex fractured land positions and difficulties shipping mined material due to topography and access. Based on the historical mining and for the reasons outlined below, the Carisa and Northern Spy areas (Carisa Group) are highly prospective for undiscovered CRD mineralization inclusive of a potential ‘Mammoth’ breccia pipe occurrence. Fissures included in the Carisa Group are the Carisa, Star, Red Rose, and “Z” fissures. The Carisa and Northern Spy mines produced from the Lower Bluebell Formation and the Fish Haven Formation, which are located relatively high in the Tintic District stratigraphic section. North Star Mine primarily produced from the Ajax Formation. This is the lower portion in the stratigraphic section and has been recognized as one of the more favorable and reactive carbonate lithologies for mineralization. While the Fish Haven and Bluebell Formations locally produced high grade mineralization at Carisa and Northern Spy, the lower lying more favorable Ajax Formation has not been adequately tested at depth below these mines. Mineralization at the Northern Spy and Carisa mines appears to have been best developed where the roughly north-northeast trending mineralized fissures intersected cross structures (e.g. the east-west trending Sioux Ajax fault zone). These structural intersections have potential to host larger CRDs at depth in the Ajax Formation (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b). The Red Rose and Boss Tweed mines are less well documented. However, their workings are generally located within the Opohonga Formation. The Red Rose Mine shaft was apparently sunk into the Upper Ajax Formation. The Sioux-Ajax Tunnel (2071 m RL) and lower levels of other larger mines (as low as 1,414 m RL) e.g. the Iron Blossom (1300, 1700, and 2100 levels), Lower Mammoth (2100 and 2155 levels), Black Jack (1100 level), and Dragon (300 level) mines all mined into these fissures. However, only limited mineralization was intersected (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b). Primary prospects for CRD mineralization are generally associated with structural intersections within favorable carbonate horizons. The structural intersections allow for high fracture permeability, hence promote increased fluid flow and precipitation of sulfide mineralization. Large manto-style replacement bodies (i.e. Mammoth pipe analogues) are likely to be best developed in favorable carbonate horizons identified throughout the district and locally in the Ajax and Bluebell Formations in the Carisa / Northern Spy area. Therefore, the down plunge projection of the structural intersections with the Ajax Formation has the greatest potential to host a large replacement deposit. Furthermore, the axis of the Tintic Syncline may have increased fracture permeability characteristics and the intersection of the synclinal axis with favorable lithologies and known mineralized fissures have increased prospectively potential (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b). The host rock adjacent to mineralized fissures and breccia pipes is moderately silicified, which is measurable in the Typhoon™ geophysical survey data as a strongly resistive anomaly. The Mammoth Breccia pipe is surrounded by a coincident resistive halo as are several known fissure veins. A resistive

This suggests that a Mammoth-style breccia pipe may exist below the deepest working level of the Northern Spy Mine (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b) (Figure 7-29).

SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 125 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Southern extension of Carisa mineralized shoots into the Ajax Formation The Carisa Mine southern workings followed a series of mineralized shoots along the Carisa Fault to lower stratigraphic positions, most probably into the Upper Opohonga Formation in the neighboring Red Rose and Boss Tweed regions. This fissure mineralization was possibly exploited in the northern stopes of the Red Rose Mine. Historically, the more prospective Ajax Formation had not been tested below the Carisa and Red Rose stopes, hence is a potential site for exploration. Mineralized shoots along the Carisa Fault were described as endowed in Cu – Au mineralization and associated with barite (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b). Significant mineralization potential exists where the adjacent Red Rose and “Z” Fissures penetrate the Ajax Formation and intersect with the Carisa Fault. Areas where fissures converge are considered favorable horizons due to the increased permeability. Deep Northern Spy in Ajax Formation south of Sioux-Ajax Fault The Sioux-Ajax Fault is a major east-west feature that most probably assisted in channelizing the mineralization bearing fluids into areas where clusters of fissures intersect it. Possible mineralization development occurs just north of the western extent of the Sioux-Ajax Fault where Carisa Group fissures are interpreted to intersect the fault. Furthermore, the Carisa fissures have not been explored for mineralization in the favorable Ajax formation below the Northern Spy Mine. Strong resistivity anomalies indicative of alteration occurs near the surface at both the Mammoth and Northern Spy mines. However, most of the workings in the main ‘ore’ pipe at the Mammoth Mine do not occur within the resistivity anomaly. A large (800 m) deep resistivity anomaly centered at the base of the Opex Formation, directly below the location where the Carisa Fissure is projected to intersect the Ajax Formation, exists and is a prospective mineralization exploration prospect (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b). Deep Sioux ‘Ore Run’ in Bluebell Formation at hinge of Tintic Syncline The Tintic Syncline fold hinge (dips at 55° west) is shown to localize mineralization in the Iron Blossom, Godiva, Plutus, and Chief ‘ore runs’ in the northern part of the Main District, north of the Sioux-Ajax Fault. Following the fold-controlled deposits in the Godiva and Iron Blossom ‘ore runs’ to greater stratigraphic depth along the fold hinge to the mineralization-favorable Bluebell Formation may yield addition mineralization (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b). Deep Red Rose (Victor) at Sioux Pass Fault Historical mine development within the Red Rose and Boss Tweed Mines (later Victor Consolidated) are focused within the Opohonga Formation. The more favorable Ajax Formation underlying these mines has been poorly explored and resides in a region of the Tintic District that is known for Cu- and Au-rich mines. The largest cross structure to intersect the Carisa Group of fissures in this area is the east-northeast Sioux Pass Fault, dipping toward the south. A resistivity anomaly, possibly representing silicification, is centered on the Carisa Group of fissures and concentrated within the Ajax Formation predominantly north of the Sioux Pass Fault. The anomaly is roughly stratiform and strengthens along a north-westerly trend to anomalies associated with the Gold Chain and Mammoth Mines. The resistivity anomaly also roughly follows bedding to depth to the north, beneath the Northern Spy Mine, where it increases in size and is associated with a chargeability anomaly. These two geophysical anomalies constitute the Deep Mammoth prospect (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b).

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 126 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Carisa / Northern Spy Resistivity Pipe This is a pipe-like resistivity anomaly that is perpendicular to bedding and is associated with a deeper, larger anomaly. The site where the resistivity anomalies merge into the Ajax Formation is a prospective site for mineralization. Portions of the Sioux-Ajax Tunnel cut through the center of the upper end of the anomaly in the Opohonga Formation. The pipe-like anomaly is in the footwall of the Sioux-Ajax Fault. The uppermost portion of the anomaly is strongest in the Bluebell Formation, adjacent to the Northern Spy Mine and crosses through portions of the Sioux-Ajax workings. The strongest resistivity anomaly is likely to indicate silicification in carbonates. The western edge of the Northern Spy Mine lies within the upper portion of the resistivity anomaly, where the anomaly is proximal to existing mineralization. The lower portion of the pipe-like anomaly is less distinct but transitions to the larger deep resistivity anomaly at the lower part of the Ajax Formation (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b). TTD-010 was drilled to test this resistivity pipe and intersected a wide zone of brecciation and weakly anomalous base metal geochemistry in the area of the anomaly. This is likely sufficient to explain the Typhoon™-derived resistivity feature. While the rocks intersected were favorable hosts, there was little indication that it had been exposed to significant mineralizing fluids. Shallower in TTD-010, the hole traversed a very wide zone of marbelization and silicification, interpreted to be a thermal alteration halo to the Carisa stock, a pre-mineral intrusion to the south. Opohonga Stope A partially-mined stope discovered with drifts extending from the 300-level of the Gold Chain/Ajax Mine or the 300-level of the Black Jack Mine was discovered by Centurion geologists. The reason for partial mining was explained by Yeomans (2017), since mined material had to be extracted through a competitor’s shaft when mining conditions were marginal. The mining area is located near the contact between the Lower Ajax and Opex Formations and followed the Opohonga Fault (Fissure) downward in brecciated rock. The exploration area is the bulk of the overlying Ajax Formation, approximately 640 ft (195 m) thick, which is a favorable unit hosting mineralization elsewhere in the district. It is unclear why the miners only developed the stope downward (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b) (Figure 7-30).

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 128 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Gold Chain Fissure A possible extension of the Gold Chain stopes at depth along the north-northeast trending fissure in the Ajax Formation south of the Sioux-Ajax Fault and in the lower Bluebell Formation north of the Sioux-Ajax Fault exists, both of which are recognized as favorable host formations in the Main Tintic District. The Sioux-Ajax Tunnel crosses over the potential mineralized zone in the generally unfavorable Opohonga Formation, though it still may provide some targeting guidance. If the Plutus ‘Ore Run’ is projected southward, it trends into a similar area of the Sioux-Ajax Fault as the Gold Chain Fissure prospects (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b). TTD-003, TTD-004, TTD-005, TTD-006 were drilled as a fan from a single set-up to test an area of strong resistivity along the Gold Chain fissure south of the Sioux-Ajax fault, which was interpreted to be a favorable area for replacement-style mineralization. These holes intersected extensively brecciated host carbonates, potentially as a collapse above a deeper zone of dissolution. No significant mineralization was intersected, however, the extensive collapse brecciation intersected should be considered favorable for potential replacement-style mineralization nearby. Welding Fissure The strike projection of the northeast trending Welding Fissure out of approximately the 300-level of the Mammoth Mine into the favorable Bluebell Formation is a further potential area for exploration. The area is approximately 120 m east of the upper Mammoth Mine shaft where the fissure trend would intersect the northernmost splays of the Sioux-Ajax Fault. The fissure is well mineralized below the 1000-level in the Mammoth Mine within the Bluebell Formation and trends toward the general area of the Plutus ‘Ore Run’ (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b). Mammoth Pipe Below the Water Table The Mammoth Mine ceased mining as soon as the water table was intersected. Sulfide mineralization is known to continue below existing workings around the 2400 and 2600 levels of the mine and is therefore a viable a priority exploration area, especially at depth where the mineralization-favorable Ophir Formation exists. Furthermore, a portion known as New Park has been partially mined with crosscuts by Kennecott and drilled by the New Park Mining Company. This area is postulated to be the down-dip extent of the well mineralized Back Fissure in the overlying Mammoth Mine (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b). Emerald Prospect The Emerald prospect is located south of the Gemini ‘Ore Run’ on strike with the bulk of the mineralization near the intersection of the northern block of the inferred Sioux-Ajax Fault trace in Mammoth Valley. The major north-easterly Grand Central Fault, that is similar to the Mammoth- Mayday Fault at the Mammoth Mine and most likely was the fluid conduit for the Mammoth ‘Ore’ Pipe, is also in the vicinity. This area is a structural analogue to the Mammoth Breccia Pipe in which near vertical carbonates of the Tintic Syncline have possibly been deformed along a sinistral drag fold along the Sioux Ajax Fault Zone. The area is also bisected by several northeast trending structures (ex. Grand Central Fault). The high degree of structural complexity, deformation, and brecciation may have formed a vertical damage zone (pipe) with enhanced permeability. Metalliferous hydrothermal fluids may have precipitated a large high-grade replacement body along this damage zone. Mine workings did not extend to the southwest toward the Emerald prospect. A near-surface geophysical anomaly

However, silicification and disseminated pyrite were logged in the drill hole (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b). 7.7.3 Skarn Prospects Northstar Skarn The northeastern edge of the Silver City intrusive complex intrudes the Paleozoic carbonate sequence at surface and has developed generally narrow calc-silicate alteration around the intrusive bodies. The narrow alteration and unmineralized skarn development at surface are associated with the dominantly equigranular phases of the Silver City intrusive complex, which are not thought to have produced the prolific mineralization observed throughout the Tintic District. Mineralized sets of fissure veins and CRDs cross the intrusive contact and may have formed massive sulfide bodies at depth, though at surface they appear to form large clay-iron oxide deposits such as the Dragon Mine. The lowest carbonate intruded by the stock forms part of the Ophir Formation, and may be the most prospective for potential skarn mineralization as it would be the first reactive unit encountered by magmatic- hydrothermal fluids (Kerr and Hanneman, 2020b) (Figure 7-31).

Confidence in this information is low as little to no QA/QC data are available for the respective drill holes. However, the results can be utilized for regional-scale modelling, which IE has completed in Leapfrog GeoTM. All the exploration results to date indicate exploration prospects only; no mineralization with any reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction has been identified. Drilling of two reverse circulation and 16 diamond drill holes since 2021 has tested several of these areas. Whilst no significant mineralization has been intersected to date, the drilling program has served to refine the exploration approach and re-prioritize the prospects for continued testing in 2024. The rock grab samples are indicative of early-stage regional exploration potential and allow IE to focus their more detailed exploration work in anomalous areas. Anomalous geochemical soil sample results occurring downslope from historical mining may be related to the aforementioned and not an indicator of an exploration potential area. Therefore, these samples should be treated with caution. IE has completed several academic studies related to whole rock geochemistry, petrography, geochronology and quartz vein fluid inclusions. These results confirm historical authors’ opinions on the project area and provide valuable information for the further development of IE’s exploration model. IE has applied industry standard exploration techniques to identify and prioritize exploration prospects in the Main Tintic District. The geological models and concepts used as a basis for mineralization exploration in the Tintic District have been developed and verified through more than 125 years of exploration and mining activities. The IE prospect areas are based on data sets derived from multiple exploration methods that were overlain to identify the locations where the respective anomalies align. The QP considers IE’s exploration model to be applicable and realistic for the Tintic Main District region. Furthermore, the exploration techniques employed by IE are suitable for exploration for porphyry copper, CRD, skarn, and fissure vein mineralization. While further exploration is warranted in the QP’s opinion, there is no guarantee it will be successful.

ALS is a reputable analytical laboratory with a global quality management system that meets all requirements of the international standards ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015. ALS has a robust internal QA/QC program to monitor and ensure quality of assay and other analytical results. Samples are prepared at ALS Elko (Nevada) or ALS Twin Falls (Idaho) and then analyzed at ALS Reno (Nevada). 8.1 Sample Preparation and Analysis 8.1.1 Soil geochemical sampling The soil samples were prepped using the ALS soil and sediment preparation package PREP-41, which entailed drying at ~60°C and then sieving to -180 micron (80 Mesh). Both the coarse and fine fractions of the sieve were retained. The fine fraction was used for geochemical assay (ME-MS41L) while the coarse fraction was analyzed for hyperspectral characteristics (HYP-PKG). The geochemical assay employed an aqua regia digestion with “Super Trace ICP-MS analysis” which measured 53 elements. The hyperspectral analysis was completed using TerraSpec® 4 HR scanning and aiSIRISTM expert spectral interpretation by ALS. This analysis yielded raw spectral files in ASD and ASCII format, and a spreadsheet with mineral assemblage interpretations with the spectral parameters of the soil. 8.1.2 Rock grab sampling The rock grab samples were prepped using the ALS package PREP-31Y, which utilized crusher/rotary splitter combo. Samples were crushed to 70% less than 2 mm, then rotary split off 250 g of material, followed by pulverizing split to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. The sample geochemistry was then analysed using ALS’s four acid Super Trace analysis (ME-MS61L) which measured 48 elements. Gold was measured by fire assay and ICP-AES analysis (AU-ICP21). 8.1.3 Drill core sampling The diamond drill core from the Tintic Project was sampled by IE in 2022 and 2023 under the direct supervision of the Tintic Project Manager, Tyler Baril. After marking out and tagging (labeling) the sample locations (assay/geochemistry/field duplicates), the drill core is cut in half in the Mammoth core cutting shack using an automatic Almonte automatic saw or a Husky manual saw. All assay and duplicate samples are half-core samples, collected over the entire length of the drill cores. Specific gravity (SG) and IP measurements are conducted on 10 cm whole-core samples that are labelled, removed from the core trays to take the measurements and then stored separately as a ‘skeleton’ reference sample set for each drill hole; duplicate sample intervals are adjusted slightly as needed to avoid sampling over the interval sampled for SG/IP. The core samples were crushed from the split core to prepare a total sample of up to 5 kg at 6 mm. Samples were then riffle split, and a 250 g sample was crushed to 75% passing at 2 mm. The sample was then pulverized with a standard steel to plus 85% passing at 75 µm. After sample pulp preparation, the samples were analyzed in the following manner:


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 133 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 • All samples were analyzed for 48 elements using four acid with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) finish. The lower limit of detection is 0.02 ppm for total Cu, with an upper detection limit of 5%. • All samples were analyzed for Au using four acid with an ICP atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) finish. The lower detection limit is 0.001 ppm for Au. 8.2 Security and Storage The security measures employed by IE for soil and rock grab sample programs are as follows: all samples were bagged in large rice sacks with approximately 20 samples (20 kg) per sack. Each rice sack was labeled with the company name, bag number, and the sample identification numbers contained within it. This information was recorded into an inventory spreadsheet. The sacks were sealed using zip ties and marked with colored flagging tape. All samples were secured in IE’s locked storage shed in Mammoth prior to dispatch to the laboratory. The security measures for the drill core sampling program are as follows: after the drill core samples were cut, they were loaded into labeled plastic bags with a unique sample ID and the corresponding sample tag was stapled to the bag. Labeled sample bags were then loaded into supersacks on pallets with approximately 50 samples per sack. Each supersack was labeled with the company name and sample ID range. This information was catalogued on a detailed inventory sheet, and samples were secured in IE’s locked storage shed in Mammoth prior to dispatch to the laboratory. Samples were dispatched to ALS Elko and ALS Twin Falls preparation labs by IE geologists via Hot Shot Shipping Service (John M Howa & Son’s Inc.) who maintained chain of custody until the samples were received by ALS. Prior to dispatch, a senior IE geologist prepared a submittal manifest, sample submittal form, and chain of custody form for the dispatch. All rice bags and drill core sample bags were checked against the submittal manifest which was then approved and signed. A chain of custody form was completed and signed by both IE and ALS staff upon delivery to the Elko and Twin Falls facilities. The Tintic core is stored in wax impregnated core boxes and transported to the core logging shack. After being logged, the core boxes are palletized and stored in IE’s core storage facilities. The core storage is locked behind bay doors or chain link fencing for security purposes. 8.3 Quality Assurance/Quality Control Procedures IE has implemented two standard insertion protocols for 1) soil and stream sediment samples, which have 5% duplicate and 4% standard insertion rates, and 2) drill core, rock grab, pit, trench, and chip samples, which have 5% blank, 5% duplicate, and 5% standard insertion rates (Table 8-1). IE has used two different blank materials in 2023, which include blank coarse marble obtained from local hardware stores near the project areas and 1” crushed granite, which is obtained from Pioneer Landscaping in Casa Grande, Arizona. Coarse marble was used from January-October 2023. Each time a new batch of marble was obtained, several samples were sent to ALS to determine the best cutoff values for the material and to ensure the marble did not have high levels of copper, gold, molybdenum, silver, lead, or zinc. IE switched to Inert 1” crushed granite from Pioneer Landscaping in October 2023. This material was chosen due its use throughout all IE projects, the wide dataset IE

SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 135 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Laboratory assay certificates are imported into Seequent’s MX Deposit after they have been received. IE has implemented an internal QA/QC program to monitor all assay results from laboratories by comparing results of IE inserted standards, blanks, and duplicates against expected values. Blanks are evaluated based on set cutoff values, 0.005 ppm for gold, 0.247 ppm for silver, 35.78 ppm for lead, 60.2 ppm for zinc, and 100 ppm for copper for the 1” granite material. For the marble blanks, the cutoff values varied as each batch of marble obtained was analyzed to determine individual cutoff values for copper, gold, lead, zinc, and molybdenum. The cutoff limit for gold is 0.005 ppm, copper is 50 ppm, molybdenum is 2 ppm, silver is 0.2 ppm, lead is 35 ppm, and zinc is 50 ppm. Blank values are monitored closely, and failures are evaluated case by case if below 200 ppm for lead, zinc, and copper. Blank values were assessed on a case-by-case basis for the marble samples to determine failures depending on the test sample data ranges for each element in each batch that was tested. Generally, marble samples that returned results 10 times the detection limit or 100 ppm were re- analyzed. 1” coarse granite blanks that fail above 200 ppm for lead, zinc, or copper are sent for re- analysis. Gold and silver values are scrutinized closely and are sent for re-analysis above 2 ppm. CRM standards are evaluated based on a +/- 3 standard deviations from the certified value obtained by the seller (OREAS and CDN Laboratories Inc.). All standards that lie outside of the acceptable range from the certified value are sent for re-analysis. The procedure for re-analysis is to re-assay five samples above and below the failure from the coarse reject. 8.3.1 Results and Actions Blank samples for the marble performed well in 2023 with minor failures. However, it was decided to move to the 1” crushed granite, which had better performance overall, particularly with regard to Pb and Zn, and a larger dataset to compare to. All recorded failures were investigated, and it was determined that none contributed assay values high enough to warrant a re-analysis. This is because the values did not contribute significant contamination to nearby samples assayed for all metals of interest. CRM performance was nominal for 2023 with zero failures for copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, lead, and zinc. Examples have been provided to show blank and CRM performance in Figure 8-1, Figure 8-2, and Figure 8-3 for Au and Cu. No actions were required.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 140 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 9 Data Verification Data verification conducted by the QP for this Technical Report Summary includes two site visits to the Tintic Project and a desktop study as detailed below. 9.1 Data Verification Procedures 9.1.1 Site Visit 1 – Prospect Areas and Historical Mine Workings As noted in Section 2.5, SRK personnel completed a site visit to the Tintic Project in November 2020. The site visit was led by Nick Kerr, Project Manager for IE. It began with an overview of the history and geological setting of the Project area, presentation of the geophysical and geochemical exploration work conducted by IE and the results obtained to date, and discussion of the Project development goals and prospects. Information was presented using prepared PowerPoint slide decks and GIS software. This data review and discussion session was followed by field examination of selected historical mine workings and the prospective areas identified for exploration drill testing. The underground workings at the Mammoth Mine and the Sioux-Ajax Tunnel which occur in CRD prospects were visited on November 10, 2020. Porphyry deposit drilling pads were visited on November 11, 2020. The QP noted that the 7-15 cm of recently fallen snow and limited visibility in some areas were taken into consideration for the site tour agenda. Inspection of underground workings in CRD prospect The Mammoth Mine was historically mined for copper oxides and silver sulfosalts. The Mammoth Shaft and the Glory Hole Shaft were visited. Steeply dipping structures parallel to other fissure veins were observed in the Glory Hole Shaft, as well as the presence of azurite, malachite, and possible copper oxides. Hand samples of gossanous, vein, and unaltered limestone were readily compared. The Sioux-Ajax Tunnel was partially completed historically and meant for mineralized material haulage during winter months. Good natural airflow was noted in the tunnel due to connection to karst cavities, Carisa Pipe, and other mined pipes along fissure veins. The IE geology crew was running water from the portal in PVC pipe along the length of the tunnel to wash the ribs for geologic mapping and sampling. Femco mine telephones had been recently installed and were operational. Other notable features observed in the tunnel include the following: Nad breccia on the Mammoth #1 patented claim; several pebble dike; a breccia with historical sample markers (ca. 1980s-1990s) near the thrust fault; variable bedding dip angles around the Sioux-Ajax Fault Zone; presence of jasperoid on surfaces in the Horseshoe area (potential for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with light detecting and ranging (LiDAR) to survey to map the open workings that are not accessible); late structures that cross the tunnel and created natural (non-karst) voids up to 2 m wide; Sevier-age karst with gossan clasts in calcite matrix, interpreted as a weathered massive sulfide pod and collapse breccia; pebble dike in the Black Cave carbonaceous carbonate; pebble dike and mineralized vein at the J-Hook winze; as well as Northern Spy 1 and Northern Spy 2 stopes. Overall, the ground conditions are considered good, and the tunnel is dry, except for the lower part where perched groundwater in sumps was encountered, and areas with added water from the current rib washing program. No underground drilling is planned until the CRD exploration areas are successfully drilled from surface and pending results.


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 141 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Inspection of porphyry prospects and historical mine pits and dumps The porphyry prospect areas (Rabbit’s Foot, Sunbeam, Deep Mammoth; Section 7.7.1) were accessed on surface. The following locations were visited: • Swansea Mine dump: The Swansea Mine is the oldest mine in the district; it was flooded out and abandoned. Examples of the Swansea Rhyolite and cross-cutting quartz diorite with pyrite (source of magnetic high) were observed on the dump pile. • Murray Hill prospect: View of Tintic Valley and Range; examples of Crowded Porphyry; several igneous phases present at hilltop; trend of dikes is same as overall Rabbit’s Foot porphyry prospect. • Rabbit’s Foot ridge: Sunbeam Granodiorite is magnetic at this location and is de-magnetized along the Dragon Fault structure. • Rabbit’s Foot porphyry prospect: Potassic alteration of Sunbeam Granodiorite and thin A-type quartz veins; Crowded Granodiorite Porphyry outcrop with D-type veins. • Sunbeam porphyry propsect: Upper Sunbeam Mine dump; remnants of high sulfidation Cu- Au quartz vein system with strong silicification; Upper Sunbeam shaft collar (secured; viewed from surface); view of Treasure Hill peak from Sunbeam Mine area; latite outcrop located between Sunbeam and Joe Undine Mines; • Joe Daly and Undine Mine: Pits and dumps on Sunbeam Granodiorite Porphyry (SGDP) dike; A-type veins overprinted with high sulfidation system; areas of potassic alteration with phlogopite. Several clasts with bladed calcite texture replaced by quartz, which indicates boiling zone in epithermal system. • King James Mine dumps: High sulfidation veins; porphyry clasts with secondary phlogopite; clasts with prominent bladed calcite replaced by quartz; agglomerate up ridge behind mine. • Dragon Clay Mine: Pits and dumps with view of Blackjack Mine pit up ridge behind dumps. • Ruby Valley: Outcrops of megacryst porphyry observed below the Sunbeam Mine dumps. This is the youngest intrusive phase; it cuts the Sunbeam dikes and is cut by minor veins. 9.1.2 Site Visit 2 – Drilling, Core Logging and Sampling Procedures SRK personnel visited the Tintic Project on January 15, 2024, accompanied by Wes Hall, Tintic Acting Project Manager, Alex Neufeld, Vice President, Exploration, and Graham Boyd, Senior Vice President, Exploration. The purpose of the site visit was to observe the exploration drilling, the drill core logging, cutting, sampling and security procedures employed by IE, and to examine the lithology, alteration and mineralization recovered in selected drill cores completed to date. IE personnel provided an overview of the exploration drilling conducted to date, focusing on the key purpose of each drill hole, the results obtained, and how these have served to refine the exploration program approach and focus areas. Information was presented in the Tintic Leapfrog Geo project.


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 142 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 Drill core marking (depths, orientation lines), geological logging, cutting, and sampling were in progress at the core facility and all procedures were observed and discussed with the project geologists and technicians (Figure 9-1). IE uses Seequent’s MX Deposit to capture all these data types. Logging data are captured directly into the database. Additional procedures observed include core photography and SG measurements. Pallets of drill core and a batch of samples staged ready for the next shipment were seen to be securely stored in the Tuff Shed (Figure 9-2) and a supersack shipment pickup was observed in progress. The chain of custody procedure was discussed. QA/QC materials are stored securely in airtight containers. Drill core from hole TTD-017, and selected intervals from TTD-016 and TTD-009 were examined. The QP found the logging to be consistent with what was viewed in the drill core. A representative suite of reference hand samples of the carbonate and non-carbonate rock types on the property were available in the core facility. The drill rig was visited where drilling of hole TDD-017, collared south of the Mammoth Mine glory hole, was in progress (Figure 9-2). The drill pads of several of the completed holes were also observed. 9.1.3 Data Validation and Desktop Study The QP reviewed and accepted the information supplied by IE. The QP completed the following data validation as part of the desktop study: • Historical information was verified from several web and literary sources where possible. • Since the Sioux-Ajax tunnel area was inaccessible at the time of the site visit, the mapping and subsequent report were reviewed and accepted by the QP. The results were found to correspond to the observations made during the site visit. • Analytical results were checked against the original laboratory certificates, and no transcription errors were noted (spot checks). • Drill core lithologies recorded in the database were compared to the drill core observed during the site visit and no discrepancies were noted (spot checks). • The QA/QC performance of the surface grab sampling and drill programs was reviewed. 9.2 Limitations • The QP did not request any check assays as no Mineral Resources or exploration target tonnages and grades are the focus of this report. • No survey spot check of drill hole collars was conducted. Drill hole survey data are uploaded directly to Reflex’s IMDEXHUB during drilling and no drilling certificates were available for checking. 9.3 QP Opinion on Data Adequacy The QP found the information to be comprehensive and logically archived. Data management and database compilation procedures are consistent with standard industry practices. Geological data collection, logging procedures, sample chain of custody, and QA/QC procedures are all consistent with industry standard practices. The QP accepts the supplied information and considers it to be geologically appropriate and adequate for use in IE’s ongoing exploration efforts at the Tintic Project.

As noted by Ramboll (2018), The property adjacent to the Project have been used for mining purposes, smelters, mills, transportation of mineralized material, ranching and farming operations since the late 1860s. The town of Mammoth was developed at a similar time as Eureka in the mid to late 1800s as part of the Tintic Mining District and lies mostly adjacent to the Project area. Most of the adjoining properties comprise native vegetation with occasional mining features or structures. An overview of the history of the Tintic Mining District, which saw nearly continuous mining operations from 1871 through to 2002, is provided in Section 5. Efforts since the 1990’s to conduct underground exploration, rehabilitate mine workings, plan for mine re-opening, and process waste rock, at various localities in the District (both within the Project area and on adjacent properties) are also summarized in that section. Notable of these on adjacent properties are the Trixie, Eureka Standard, and Burgin mines. In 2022, Osisko acquired TCM and approximately 69 km2 of patented mining claims and mineral leases in the East Tintic District which included 23 past producing mines within their project boundaries including the Trixie mine which reopened in 2020. The Trixie mine is a historical high-grade gold-silver underground mining operation. The deposit is a hybrid low-sulfidation to high-sulfidation epithermal system, with polymetallic gold and silver veins structurally hosted within the Paleozoic Tintic Quartzite, and base metal mineralization hosted within sedimentary and carbonate rocks north of the main gold system. It was first operated from 1974 to 1992 and again briefly from 2000 to 2002 with a total of six underground levels developed to a depth of 411.5 m. Refurbishment of the mine started in September 2019 with the first gold poured in late 2020. Osisko continues with exploration at Trixie and their surrounding mineral tenure. The QP recognizes that information relating to adjacent properties is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the IE Tintic Project. Information on adjacent properties in Section 20 is sourced from disclosures made by the applicable owner or operator of the property. The QP has been unable to verify this information.

SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 156 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 22 Interpretation and Conclusions Since securing the Tintic Project in 2017, IE has invested US$55 million into exploration in the Tintic Main District, searching for prospective areas focused on porphyry copper, carbonate replacement bodies (CRDs) and skarns, with two-thirds of the expenditure being on securing the land and mineral titles (Table 22-1). The Main Tintic District is considered by IE to be highly prospective for these types of mineralization based on historical mining and on the geological understanding of the source of CRD mineralization. To date this expenditure has focused on the consolidation of land acquisition, capture of historical information, geophysical and geochemical studies, and limited drilling to guide prospect prioritization. The consolidation of mineral claims since the cessation of mining in the 1980’s has facilitated the opportunity to explore broader tracts of land, attempting to locate continuations of known exploited mineralization. IE has collated all historical data and produced a regional exploration model. IE’s exploration approach has been successfully employed by Tintic Consolidated Metals LLC in the East Tintic District.

The geochemical sampling program procedures and associated QA/QC protocols are consistent with industry standard practices. Furthermore, IE has applied sound and innovative exploration techniques to identify and prioritize prospect areas in the Main Tintic District. Drilling of two reverse circulation and 16 diamond drill holes since 2021 has tested several of these areas. Whilst no significant mineralization has been intersected to date, the drilling program has served to refine the exploration approach and re-prioritize the prospects for continued testing in 2024 based on the results and IE’s overall strategy for the project. IE has identified four of the 14 prospect areas described within this report as high priority, namely: • Rabbit’s Foot (porphyry); • Sunbeam (porphyry); • Mammoth Deep (porphyry); and • Carisa / Northern Spy (CRD breccia pipe).


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 157 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 IE has completed several academic studies related to whole rock geochemistry, petrography, geochronology and quartz vein fluid inclusions. These results confirm historical authors’ opinions on the project area and provide valuable information for the further development of IE’s exploration model. The QP considers IE’s exploration model to be applicable and realistic for the Tintic Main District region. Furthermore, the exploration techniques employed by IE are suitable for exploration for porphyry copper, CRD, skarn, and fissure vein mineralization. The QP identifies the following risks and uncertainties associated with the Tintic project: • The dimensions of historical underground mining cavities are not surveyed, and the risk exists that larger areas have been exploited and not recorded. • Historical drill hole location and analytical results should be treated with caution. Confidence in this information is low as little to no QA/QC data are available for the respective drill holes. However, the results can be utilized for regional-scale modelling, which IE has completed in Leapfrog GeoTM. • The area being explored by IE is very large and the risk exists that the exploration activities may be diluted if too many of the prospect areas are explored simultaneously. This risk can be mitigated by ranking of prospect areas, which IE has undertaken. • All the exploration results to date indicate exploration potential areas only; no mineralization with any reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction have been identified. • Anomalous geochemical soil sample results occurring downslope from historical mining may be related to the aforementioned and not an indicator of an exploration potential area. • A complex land claims ownership exists in the Tintic District and the risk to access certain isolated claims during exploration could occur. IE has consolidated claims through several agreements to acquire the relevant claims to mitigate the risk. IE has negotiated the right to access any of the claims under the respective agreements for exploration purposes. • Unresolved Recognized Environmental Conditions (REC’s) and pre-existing environmental liabilities exist in the IE tenement area. However, none of these impact IE’s ability to perform exploration activities on the prospective areas prioritized as exploration potential areas. • Future environmental permitting is a risk should IE consider an application to mine in Utah. The risk is partially mitigated on private patented claims, which would require State rather than Federal permitting. • Significant portions of the CRD exploration claims are subject to Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalty agreements, ranging between 1% and 4%. However, they are only payable upon production and sale of product should IE engage in such activities in the future. No royalties are due in advance. The QP considers the following upside potential: • Historical underground mining in the Tintic District was focused on mineralization above the water table. Therefore, mineralization along existing mined zones at depth may be preserved below the water table.

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 158 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 • Historical underground mining utilized higher cut-off grades than those that are economic in recent times. Therefore, the potential exists for unmined remnant lower grade mineralization areas being preserved. • Historically, exploration and mining were focused on CRD, skarn, and fissure vein mineralization and not on the potential mineralized fluid source at depth. IE exploration geophysics has identified several anomalies that could indicate the potential source of the fluids. Diamond drilling in the Sunbeam prospect area has intersected textures and alteration typically associated with porphyry systems. While the visible copper mineralization is low, this is the first hole to have tested the Sunbeam Typhoon™ anomaly directly, and the potential exists to vector toward the center of a porphyry system which may contain mineralization with follow-up drilling. Assays are pending for this pyrite-dominant stockwork zone.


 
SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 159 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 23 Recommendations The QP recommends that IE focuses on continuing to drill the highest priority prospect areas and to continue to use the drilling results and compiled geophysical and geological data to guide future work. Drilling is required to delineate the volume and morphology of the potentially mineralized underground zones above and below the water table. Depending on whether mineralization is intersected, and its style and grade, this would enable IE to declare an exploration target with relevant estimated tonnage and grade ranges, contingent on IE’s QA/QC protocols and performance, both of which have been demonstrated to meet industry standards. 23.1 Recommended Work Programs and Costs The following exploration work is recommended on the Tintic Project in 2024: • On the ground exploration, including mapping and geochemical sampling; and • Surface diamond drilling to continue to test geophysical anomalies and follow up the drilling results to date. The proposed budget for the exploration work is detailed in Table 23-1. The $12M budget includes payments on optioned land and surface drilling. The objective of the work program and expenditure is twofold: 1) Test the buried porphyry prospect areas; and 2) Test shallow CRD prospect areas from surface. Table 23-1: Summary of Estimated Costs for Recommended Exploration Work at Tintic in 2024 Item Total Cost Land $290,570 Drilling $8,640,000 Facilities and Staff $3,069,060 Total $11,999,630 Source: SRK (2023)

SEC Technical Report Summary – Tintic Project Page 166 USPR001830_IVNE_Tintic_SEC_Exploration TRS_2023Feb23.docx December 2023 25 Reliance on Information Provided by the Registrant The QP’s opinion contained herein is based on information provided by IE throughout the course of the investigations. The QP used their experience to determine if the information from previous reports was suitable for inclusion in this Technical Report Summary and adjusted information that required amending. The QP has relied on information provided by IE with respect to legal matters relating to land title and tenure and any underlying agreement(s). Specifically, the QP has not performed an independent verification of land title and tenure information beyond the preliminary verification described in Section 3.2.1 of this report. The QP did not verify the legality of any underlying agreement(s) that may exist concerning the permits or other agreement(s) between third parties but has relied on a legal opinion provided by IE, prepared by Richard R. Hall of Dorsey & Whitney LLP dated January 18, 2024. The reliance applies solely to the legal status of the rights disclosed in Sections 3.2 and 3.3. With respect to Section 3.6, the QP also relied upon IE’s confirmation that there are no known litigations potentially affecting the Tintic Project. The QP believes that reliance upon IE for the above legal matters is reasonable because such legal matters are outside the expertise of the QP.
