Paddy Carroll Group

The Paddy Carroll Group offers one of the few places in the Nechako Basin where prospective bedrock is exposed at surface rather than buried under thick glacial till. The claims contain a vein hosted quartz sulfide system marked by a surface gossan. Recent sampling of the vein returned elevated zinc, lead, and antimony, while earlier road-cut samples from the same zone confirmed higher grade lead-zinc-silver-copper values. Still early-stage and largely untested, the property provides a low cost, road accessible target in a district that has received little modern exploration attention.

- PADDY CARROLL GROUP potentially sits directly on the Jeff Kyba “Red Line” the critical stratigraphic unconformity between Upper Triassic Stuhini Group volcanics/sediments and Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group strata. Defined by BC Geological Survey geologists Jeff Kyba & Joanne Nelson, this “Red Line” is a proven regional marker in the Stikine Terrane. Almost all major deposits in the belt (Eskay Creek, KSM, Brucejack, Red Chris, Snip, etc.) occur within 2 km of this contact. More showings will be found in the area using this predictive pattern.

- Previous owner road-excavation hits (same showing), Good grade rock samples taken during road construction work: >1% Pb, >1% Zn, Ag (12.3 g/t), and 0.1832% Cu. Confirms the same Pb-Zn-Sb-Cu signature and demonstrates the system has ore grade potential.

- Identical signature to nearby Silver Star Claim (1 km NE) Historical high-grade samples from Silverstar: 317 g/t Ag, 0.387% Cu, 0.803% Pb, 0.226% Sb. MINFILE 093F 125.The Paddy Carroll showing lines up with similar mineral signatures. -Multiple Overlapping Geological Models In short, the polymetallic vein characteristics open the door to three overlapping geological models: (1) epithermal veins, (2) volcanogenic massive sulfides (VMS), and (3) carbonate replacement deposits (CRD). All potentially at play here, highlighting the need for more exploration to pin it down. Potential mapping issue enhances upside

— The presence of both Stuhini Group and Hazelton Group rocks on the claims places the property on the Red Line — the critical time boundary between Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic strata. This contact is the key stratigraphic marker linked to major deposits across the Stikine Terrane. Lower Hazelton rocks, in particular, host many of the significant porphyry and epithermal systems along the Red Line trend, including those in the Treaty Glacier–Stewart corridor. This makes the area an elephant hunting ground on the Red Line.

This is one of the best targets in the Nechako for discovering a true elephant, a massive deposit in the exact stratigraphic and structural setting that has produced all sorts of giant deposits across the Stikine Terrane, including porphyry copper gold systems (KSM, Red Chris), high-grade epithermal gold-silver deposits (Brucejack), and precious-metal-rich VMS deposits (Eskay Creek) (Nelson & Kyba, 2014). Rare, road accessible window with surface mineralization that points to major deposit potential.

- Only Red Line geology in the Nechako One of the only areas in the entire Nechako Basin/region where the prospective Kyba Red Line unconformity is exposed at surface with associated mineralization. Most of the Nechako is blanketed by thick glacial till or younger rocks, making this a truly unique and rare opportunity in the district.

- Bowser Lake Group present in the area the area hosts Bowser Lake Group marine sediments that can bury the Red Line unconformity, providing additional stratigraphic cover and preservation potential for the mineralized systems beneath the glacial till.

- Completely unknown to the market Stealth opportunity with limited competition, few other exploration companies/prospectors are active in the immediate area, but they are unlikely to be aware of the strategic Kyba Red Line position. No other company outside of Foxtail understands this area or its critical geology. This remains a stealth, high conviction target off the radar of every major and junior explorer. - Mineralization at surface in a gossan Only the oxidized gossan is exposed; the main sulfides include Galena, Sphalerite, Malachite and Stibnite. Grab samples from the outcropping quartz-sulfide vein in propylitic-altered andesite return 0.98% Zn, 0.45% Pb, and 990 ppm Sb.
