THE APPROACH

UNDERCOVER GOLD EXPLORATION

TURNING DESERT OVERBURDEN INTO INTO DISCOVERY POTENTIAL

• South Africa is twice the size of Botswana but boasts 5 times as many mines despite very similar geological potential. Why? Over 70% of the rocks in Botswana are under the cover of the Kalahari Desert.
  
  
• The Kraaipan Greenstone Belt (“KGB”) - a 3-billion-year-old, 200 km long, volcano-sedimentary rock sequence that spans both South Africa and Botswana.
  
  
• Only one gold deposit has been discovered within the KGB: the Kalgold Mine in South Africa, located just 40 km south of the border of North Arrow’s Kraaipan Project.
  
  
• No other greenstone belt in the world has just one gold mine; more deposits should exist within the 60 km strike length of the KGB found in Botswana and covered by the project.
  

It is the Kalahari overburden that has hindered past assessment of the KGB, hampering geological mapping, prospecting, geochemical sampling, and target selection. Modern exploration allows for assessment of sand covered areas that previous explorers would have overlooked.

Access to proprietary technologies (Remote Mapper Aerial Survey, RC Drill Platform) designed specifically for the terrain by Botswana-based partner (Rockman) allowed for rapid generation and testing of targets.

In a 12-month period and for only US $1 million, the partnership has conducted a substantial amount of work:

• Remote Mapper UAV Magnetic surveys conducted over 90% of property.
• Structural analysis and rock sampling of mineralized outcrops found in the south of the property.
• Drill target generation through marriage of structural and magnetic data.
• Target testing averaging 4 holes per day using a truck-mounted RC drill platform optimized for maximum efficiency in the terrain.
  

Between mid-May and mid-August 2025, 175 RC drill holes were completed testing 16 target areas over 45 km of KGB strike length. Overburden thickness ranged from 0 m to 45 m locally, but averaged ~20m throughout the drill program.

Highlights from the assay results of samples from the first 109 holes (193 overburden samples from the base of the Kalahari and 561 bedrock samples), were issued on Sept. 25, 2025. Five areas with anomalous gold values were identified for follow-up including two targets (AE and AF) that demonstrated sample grades in the range of what is being mined at the Kalgold Mine located 40 km south in South Africa. Follow up work including angled RC holes and tighter spacing is being planned for the near-term with core drilling to follow if warranted.

Assay results are pending (due mid-October) for the final 66 holes targeting four areas with minimal overburden including:

• Area with 10.1 g/t Au surface sample
• Trend defined by three high-grade outcrop samples (>7 g/t Au)
• Specialized angled drilling to test historical mineralization

GAME CHANGER

It is the efficiency of this modern technological approach to properly and cost-effectively assess this large prospective greenstone belt, one of the last worldwide still underexplored, that offers game changing potential for discovery.

President and CEO, Eira Thomas, has more than 15 years of experience working in Botswana. As a founder and eventual CEO of Lucara Diamonds, she was instrumental in creating billions of dollars in revenue from the company’s Karowe Mine, one of the world’s foremost producers of large, high-quality, white diamonds, including the second, third, fourth and fifth biggest gem-quality stones ever recovered.

INVESTOR TAKEAWAY

This innovative and cost-efficient exploration plan is designed to fast-track discovery and unlock the gold potential of a highly prospective but underexplored greenstone belt. Investing in North Arrow Minerals offers an opportunity to be part of a pioneering effort to explore a largely untapped gold belt in a stable and supportive mining jurisdiction.
