The evacuation was carried out in coordination with local authorities and the Company's emergency response protocols. All employees and contractors have been safely evacuated from the camp, and no injuries have been reported. Exploration and drilling activities at Eau Claire have been temporarily suspended while the situation is assessed. The Company is closely monitoring the situation in collaboration with local and provincial fire authorities and will provide further updates as more information becomes available, including with respect to the timing of a return to site and any resulting impact on the Company's exploration program at Eau Claire.

"We are grateful to our team and to local authorities for ensuring an orderly and safe evacuation of the Eau Claire camp. We will continue to monitor conditions closely and will resume activities at site as soon as it is safe to do so."
