Introduction

Headwater Gold Inc. is a technically-driven mineral exploration company focused on the exploration and discovery of high-grade precious metal deposits in the Western USA. Headwater is aggressively exploring one of the most well-endowed and mining-friendly jurisdictions in the world with a goal of making world-class precious metal discoveries. Headwater has a large portfolio of epithermal vein exploration projects and a technical team of experienced geologists with diverse capital markets, junior and major mining company backgrounds.

The Company is systematically drill testing several projects in Nevada and in August 2022 and May 2023 announced significant transactions with Newmont Corp. where it acquired a 9.9% strategic equity interest in the Company and entered into earn-in agreements on several of Headwater's projects.

Projects in Hand

Newmont Earn-In Agreement

Newmont to earn up to a 75% interest individually in Mahogany, Lodestar, Midas North, and Spring Peak Projects for cumulative earn-in exploration expenditures of US $145,000,000 and completion of Pre-Feasibility Studies.

Newmont to sole fund US $10,000,000 in exploration expenditures across four projects on 2 year timelines or pay the difference to Headwater.

Headwater operates all earn-in projects and collects a 10% management fee.

Shareholders retain significant upside through carried interest in each project to Pre-Feasibility and back-end royalties.

Spring Peak Project, Nevada (Newmont Earn-In Project)

The Spring Peak project is located in the Aurora Mining District in the Walker Lane belt, west-central Nevada, approximately 50 km southwest of the town of Hawthorne. The project adjoins Hecla Mining Company's past-producing Aurora Mine.

A multi-rig drill program totaling up to approximately 7,000 metres over 20 to 25 holes is scheduled to begin in early summer 2024. The primary objective of the drill program will be to test for extensions of mineralization along the Bear Fault corridor which hosts high-grade mineralization at the Disco Zone discovery. Targets along strike, down dip and in the hanging wall of the Bear Fault will be drill tested.

The Disco Zone is a mineralized corridor which hosts a series of high-grade epithermal veins at depth discovered by Headwater in 2022. Drilling at the Disco Zone intercepted multiple discrete mineralized veins. The highest-grade gold encountered to date at the Spring Peak project is in drill hole SP22-13 which intersected two individual veins assaying 15.92 g/t Au over 2.38 m and 10.43 g/t Au over 2.01 m. The highest individual assay returned 69.6 g/t Au over 0.34 m. These intervals are part of a broader zone which assayed 2.73 g/t Au over 34.72 m.

A further objective of the 2024 drill program will be to test multiple new targets across the property package with initial scout drilling, including targets on newly acquired private lands which have no prior drilling. Drilling is authorized for 2024 under an existing drill permit and an expanded Plan of Operations permit has been submitted to the United States Forest Service which is projected to be approved for the 2025 drilling season.

(See news release dated April 3, 2024)

Lodestar Project, Nevada (Newmont Earn-In Project)

The Lodestar project is located approximately 10 kilometres north of the Company's Spring Peak project. A multi-rig drill program totaling up to approximately 3,500 metres over 10 to15 holes is currently scheduled to begin in the fall of 2024. The primary objective of the drill program will be to test for high-grade precious metals in steeply dipping feeder structures under the Zodiac target. Additional scout drill holes are planned to test under-cover geophysical targets adjacent to the Zodiac target. A drilling permit application has been submitted to the United States Forest Service for the 2024 drill program. Authorization of drilling activities under this permit is anticipated in Q3 2024.

News Update

On March 03, 2025, Headwater Gold Inc. has acquired a 100-per-cent interest in the Jake Creek epithermal gold project along the Northern Nevada Rift gold trend in Nevada. The project hosts a known epithermal gold system identified by historical drilling, with minimal modern exploration and remains open for further discovery. Highlights:

• High-grade potential: Historic drilling at Jake Creek identified a broad zone of strongly anomalous gold mineralization with localized high-grade epithermal gold mineralization, including 11.3 grams per tonne gold over 1.52 metres within a broader 46.73-metre interval grading 0.98 gram per tonne gold.
• Highly endowed gold belt: The Jake Creek project lies along the prolific Northern Nevada rift, home to multiple epithermal gold deposits, including the nearby Midas mine, and located just eight kilometres east of the Nevada Gold Mines' Turquoise Ridge complex.
• Exploration upside: Jake Creek is a relatively underexplored land package in Nevada despite proximity to multiple world-class mines and confirmed epithermal mineralization on the property.

Caleb Stroup, president and chief executive officer of the company, stated: "The acquisition of the Jake Creek project represents a compelling addition to our portfolio of high-quality epithermal gold projects in Northern Nevada. Historic drilling on the project, originally targeting Carlin-type gold, encountered a significant blind high-grade epithermal gold system that was never adequately followed up. With limited drilling across the broader land position and no focused exploration for potential feeder structures, we see a clear opportunity to leverage our expertise and advance the project toward discovery. An equally compelling aspect of Jake Creek is its location in the heart of one of Nevada's most productive gold belts. The project sits just 24 kilometres west of Hecla Mining Company's Midas mine and only eight kilometres east of the world-class Turquoise Ridge complex, which has produced over 28 million ounces of gold to date. The fertility of this region, combined with known high-grade gold mineralization on the property and lack of systematic follow-up, makes Jake Creek an exciting target for future exploration."

On February 27, 2025, Headwater Gold Inc. announced the final results from the Company’s 2024 drill program on its Spring Peak project, located in the Walker Lane trend, western Nevada. The drill program was fully funded by Newcrest Resources Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) pursuant to the earn-in agreement announced on August 16, 2022 and operated by Headwater. It intercepts 3.55 g/t Au over 7.62 m in New Target Area at Spring Peak Project, Nevada.

Caleb Stroup, President and CEO of the Company, states: “The 2024 Spring Peak drill program delivered several important step-out intercepts that significantly expand the known extent of high-grade mineralization on the property and highlight multiple new target zones for future follow-up drilling. The positive initial test of the Shadow target where SP24-57 intersected multiple high-grade gold intervals beneath a gold-barren mercury-in-soil anomaly, demonstrates our ability to explore blind-to-surface targets and points to the broader potential for new high-grade discoveries on the project. Similarly, initial scout drilling into the Southpaw target returned strong gold intercepts in a substantial step out southwest from the Disco Zone. The strike extent of mineralization in the Bear Fault corridor now exceeds one kilometre and remains open both to the Northeast and Southwest. These results cap a successful 2024 season where, together with our partner Newmont, we completed over 6,000 metres of drilling and doubled the size of the Spring Peak land position, securing approximately 15 km of strike extent along the Aurora trend. We look forward to finalizing plans for the next phase of drilling, continuing to step out from these intercepts and further expanding the footprint of high-grade mineralization.”

On January 16, 2025, Headwater Gold Inc. has released results from the company's maiden drill program on its 100-per-cent-owned TJ project, located in northeastern Nevada. Highlights:

• All drill holes at TJ encountered widespread silicification and epithermal veining, as well as broad intervals of anomalous gold mineralization, suggesting the presence of a robust and fully preserved low sulphidation epithermal system with good potential for high-grade veins at depth.
• Reverse circulation drill hole TJ24-04 intercepted 123.44 metres grading 0.150 gram per tonne gold, including 0.687 g/t Au over 4.58 m. This hole was paused at 198.1 m due to difficult drilling conditions but was cased for re-entry and subsequent diamond core completion, expected in 2025.
• Drilling confirmed the presence of a large structure on the eastern margin of the main sinter exposure that is interpreted as an important conduit for mineralizing fluids. Geologic observations and geochemical data support that drilling did not penetrate sufficient depths in the system to test for the presence of potential high-grade veins within the main boiling horizon. The downdip projection of the East Sinter fault and associated structures represent high-priority targets for a follow-up campaign.
• Multielement geochemistry of drill samples reveals highly anomalous epithermal pathfinder element concentrations, providing further evidence for the scale and shallow nature of the hydrothermal cell.
• A follow-up core drilling program is being developed, with a clear objective of testing significant structures identified during the 2024 program at depth.

Caleb Stroup, president and chief executive officer of the company, stated: "Our maiden drill program at the TJ project has successfully demonstrated the strength and scale of this low-sulphidation epithermal system in the main Sinter zone. These results establish that alteration and mineralization is more widespread and extends to greater depths than was apparent from limited historic drilling. The geological and geochemical data from this program provide clear vectors to deeper targets and reinforce our confidence in the potential for high-grade vein-style mineralization in the district. With follow-up diamond core drilling plans under way, we are excited to further explore the potential of this promising system and deliver additional value to our shareholders."

On December 20, 2024, Headwater Gold Inc. has successfully completed the company's maiden drill program on its 100-per-cent-owned TJ project, located in northeast Nevada. Highlights:

• Headwater's initial drill program at TJ consisted of five reverse circulation (RC) drill holes totalling 1,030 metres.
• Drilling tested multiple targets for high-grade epithermal veins beneath outcropping silica sinter and generally downdip of shallow historic drill holes that encountered anomalous gold mineralization.
• All drill holes encountered strong alteration indicative of the upper levels of an epithermal system, characterized by broad and laterally extensive intervals of silicification, veining, hydrothermal brecciation and elevated sulphide concentrations. Three holes targeting the East Sinter fault intersected significant quartz veining with epithermal vein textures diagnostic of the upper portions of an epithermal system.
• Favourable alteration and epithermal veining encountered in the first-pass drill program confirm the presence of a large, fully preserved epithermal system and will provide critical vectors to guide future drilling to test for high-grade gold at depth and along strike.
• Final assay results are pending and expected in Q1 2025.

Caleb Stroup, president and chief executive officer of the company, stated: "We are very pleased to announce the successful completion of our maiden drill program at TJ, which confirms the presence of a robust and fully preserved epithermal system at depth below the silica sinter at surface. The abundance of epithermal quartz veining and the high sulphide content of the vein zones are particularly encouraging. Initial visual observations suggest the vein intersections are relatively high in the epithermal system, leaving significant potential for further exploration at depth.

"Assays are pending and expected early in the new year, but the geological and alteration data from this program already provides critical insights into the scale and preservation of the system. This information will guide future drilling, particularly deeper into the system where further potential remains. TJ continues to stand out as a high-quality project that looks more promising than ever, with excellent potential to create value for shareholders through a meaningful discovery."

On October 31, 2024, Headwater Gold Inc. has commenced the maiden drill program on its 100-per-cent-owned TJ project located in northeastern Nevada and has provided an update on the Spring Peak and Lodestar projects, which are being explored in partnership with Newmont Corp. through earn-in agreements announced on Aug. 16, 2022, and May 9, 2023.

Caleb Stroup, president and chief executive officer of the company, stated: "We are very excited to launch the maiden drill program on our TJ project in Nevada, which has quickly become one of our top priorities. With well-preserved silica sinter at surface and compelling resistivity targets at depth, our geologists see strong parallels to our high-grade discovery at Spring Peak and have significantly upgraded the target's potential since acquiring the project just over a year ago.

"In parallel, we have completed drilling for the year on the Spring Peak project and received assays from nine initial scout holes. Several of these holes encountered zones of anomalous gold mineralization and key pathfinder elements across new target areas. We are encouraged by these initial results and the remaining assays will clarify the significance of these new zones within the context of the broader project.

"While we initially planned to drill the Lodestar project this fall, permitting delays have shifted that program to spring 2025. Funding for the planned program from Newmont remains fully committed under the $2-million minimum spend component of the Lodestar earn-in agreement, ensuring no material impact on our broader exploration strategy."

On October 07, 2024, Headwater Gold Inc. has identified multiple high-priority drill targets and has finalized plans for the company's maiden drill program on its 100-per-cent-owned TJ project located in northeastern Nevada. Highlights:

• Drilling program scheduled: Drilling permits have been received, and plans finalized for a maiden drill program projected to consist of an initial 2,000 metres. Drilling is scheduled to commence in fall 2024 and will be fully financed by Headwater Gold.
• Drill program objective: This maiden drill program will test multiple targets for high-grade epithermal veins at depth beneath outcropping silica sinter and downdip of historic shallow drill holes that encountered broad zones of silicification and epithermal alteration, ending in anomalous gold mineralization.
• Controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotelluric survey: Recently acquired CSAMT geophysics have identified a number of high-priority drill targets vertically below a mapped silica sinter exposure at surface. Several large areas of elevated resistivity have been mapped at depth, which Headwater Gold geologists interpret as silicification related to potential feeder structures.
• New target zone: Detailed geologic mapping and rock chip sampling have identified a new target area containing subcropping quartz vein boulders with epithermal textures and anomalous gold values one kilometre south of the main sinter target area.

Caleb Stroup, president and chief executive officer of the company, stated: "We are very excited for this upcoming drill program at our TJ project. Following the results of our recent CSAMT survey, this project has immediately moved to the top of our list for self-funded drilling. The project shows remarkable similarities to our Spring Peak project, also in Nevada, where we have discovered a new high-grade epithermal vein system. Like Spring Peak, TJ hosts a well-preserved silica sinter with a strong trace element signature at surface underlain by a high-resistivity zone directly below. Shallow historic drilling encountered anomalous gold but did not drill deep enough to test for high-grade veins in the projected boiling horizon at depth. The company has a strong treasury following the recent strategic financing with Centerra Gold [Inc.], allowing us to advance our mandate of creating additional shareholder value through aggressive, high-impact exploration. The TJ project represents an excellent opportunity to pursue this mission in our focus area of Nevada."

On September 17, 2024, Further to its news release of Sept. 9, 2024, Headwater Gold Inc. has completed a non-brokered private placement to raise gross proceeds of $1.54-million through the sale of seven million common shares of the company priced at 22 cents per share to Centerra Gold Inc.

Centerra has acquired 9.9 per cent of the issued and outstanding common shares of the company. The company and Centerra have entered into an investor rights agreement, whereby, subject to certain conditions, including time and ownership thresholds, Centerra will retain certain limited rights, including the right to participate in future equity issuances to maintain its percentage ownership in the company.

The proceeds from the financing will be used for exploration activities at the company's Western United States projects and for general working capital. All securities issued are restricted from trading until Jan. 17, 2025.

On September 09, 2024, Headwater Gold Inc. and Centerra Gold Inc. have agreed to a strategic investment under which Centerra will acquire 9.9 per cent of the issued and outstanding common shares of the company. Centerra will purchase, through a non-brokered private placement, seven million common shares of the company at a price of 22 cents per share for gross proceeds of $1.54-million. The issue price represents a 15-per-cent premium to the last closing price of Headwater common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange as of Sept. 6, 2024.

Caleb Stroup, president and chief executive officer of the company, states: "We are very pleased to welcome Centerra as a new strategic Headwater shareholder. The company continues to advance our mission of delivering value through the discovery of high-grade, high-upside gold deposits in one of the most mining-friendly jurisdictions in the world and I believe this represents a great vote of confidence in both our technical work and overall business strategy. This additional capital comes at an attractive premium and favourable terms for shareholders and will result in a strong treasury position of over $4-million to accelerate our ongoing generative initiatives and 100-per-cent-funded exploration activities in Nevada in a rising gold price environment."

The proceeds from the offering will be used for exploration activities at the company's Western United States projects and for general working capital. The closing of the offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange and receipt of all required regulatory and other approvals. The company anticipates the offering will close on Sept. 16, 2024, and does not intend to expand the offering beyond the participation by Centerra.

On September 04, 2024, Headwater Gold Inc. has acquired two additional epithermal vein projects, Rock Creek and Hot Creek, in northern Nevada. Both projects have been acquired through claim staking on open ground managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Highlights:

• Two new projects in northern Nevada: Headwater has acquired the Rock Creek and Hot Creek epithermal gold projects by claim staking on BLM land. Both projects are 100 per cent owned and are royalty free.
• Large epithermal gold systems: Both projects host widespread epithermal alteration footprints indicative of large hydrothermal systems. High-level silica alteration, including hydrothermal vent breccias and opalized sediments, are present indicating the systems are likely fully preserved.
• Untested high-grade targets: Historical surface sampling and drilling indicate the widespread presence of near-surface anomalous gold mineralization on the properties. Limited drilling has been completed in the target epithermal boiling zones at depth.

Caleb Stroup, the president and chief executive officer of the company, states: "The acquisition of the Rock Creek and Hot Creek projects significantly enhances our portfolio of high-potential epithermal gold projects in northern Nevada. The historical datasets from these projects provide a strong foundation for a systematic modern exploration effort with the geological characteristics pointing towards untested potential for high-grade precious metals at depth. We are particularly excited about the potential at Rock Creek where the Main vein target remains open along strike in both directions, as well as downdip. These 100-per-cent-owned and royalty-free acquisitions align perfectly with our strategy of maintaining a large, active portfolio of high-grade epithermal projects and provide our shareholders with exposure to significant upside potential."

On August 16, 2024, Headwater Gold Inc. provided an update on activities across the Company’s portfolio of projects under earn-in agreements (the “Earn-In Agreements” or “Agreements”) with Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) announced on August 16, 2022 and May 9, 2023. Highlights:

• Spring Peak Drilling: A multi-rig drill program is underway at the Spring Peak Project earn-in with Newmont. Approximately 2,500 metres of up to 7,000 metres of planned drilling has been completed. Five drill holes have been completed, with three additional Reverse Circulation “RC” pre-collars cased and pending completion with diamond core. The program is designed to follow-up on high-grade epithermal vein intercepts as well as stepping out testing new target areas.
• Spring Peak and Lodestar Regional Exploration Program: District-scale geophysical surveys have been completed over Headwater’s recently expanded land position including gravity, magnetics and radiometrics. Reconnaissance rock sampling on Headwater’s newly acquired ground has identified large areas of epithermal vein float. Initial sample results include 6.7 g/t Au and 3.2 g/t Au from banded epithermal vein float. Follow-up sampling and geologic mapping is already underway.
• Midas North and Mahogany: The Company has received notice that Newmont has declined to continue exploration into Phase I of the earn-in agreements announced on August 16, 2022 after having met the minimum commitment required expenditure on both. The projects revert to Headwater on a 100% owned and royalty-free basis. A 2024 field program at Midas North is planned and will be executed by Headwater, including additional geological mapping and the completion of a previously planned soil geochemistry survey . No further work is planned at Mahogany.

Caleb Stroup, President and CEO of the Company, states: “We are very pleased with the ongoing work programs at our Spring Peak and Lodestar projects in Nevada. Drilling is proceeding as we had hoped and our regional exploration program on the newly expanded Lodestar and Spring Peak land positions is turning up positive indications of a large, previously unrecognized epithermal system. This year’s systematic exploration program is on track to significantly advance our efforts to unlock the full potential of this high-grade district, which has become the primary focus of our partner funded exploration with Newmont. We are also excited to advance exploration at Midas North on a 100% owned basis as we further develop targets for a Phase II drill program testing this high-upside project at depth.”

On July 23, 2024, Headwater Gold Inc. has granted 1.7 million incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the company. Each option is exercisable to purchase one common share of the company at a price of 20 cents for a five-year term and vests immediately. The options are subject to the acceptance of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

On July 18, 2024, Headwater Gold Inc. has commenced drilling at the Spring Peak project in Nevada. The program is designed to follow up on Headwater's 2022 and 2023 drill programs, which discovered high-grade epithermal veins in two distinct target areas (see Headwater's news release dated March 2, 2023). Highlights:

• Jurisdiction: Spring Peak is located in the Walker Lane belt of Nevada, adjoining Hecla Mining Company's past-producing Aurora mine.
• Drilling program: Up to approximately 7,000 metres of drilling are planned, utilizing a combination of diamond core and reverse circulation (RC) drilling.
• Financing: The drill program is fully financed by Newmont Corp., pursuant to the option and earn-in transaction announced on Aug. 16, 2022.
• Objectives:
• Test for extensions up dip and downdip from high-grade veins discovered by previous Headwater drilling at the Disco zone, which intercepted 34.72 metres grading 2.73 grams per tonne gold, including 15.92 g/t Au over 2.38 m and 10.43 g/t Au over 2.01 m (see Headwater's new release dated Jan. 9, 2023);
• Test for along-strike extensions of high-grade mineralization within the Bear fault corridor, both to the southwest and to the northeast of the central Disco zone;
• Test multiple additional high-priority target areas on the property with initial scout drilling, including undrilled target areas on recently acquired private lands.

Caleb Stroup, president and chief executive officer of the company, stated: "We are very happy to kick off this fully funded drill program at Spring Peak with our partner Newmont. This year's drilling represents a very exciting opportunity to extend zones of known high-grade mineralization and expand the footprint of exploration by testing new target areas with initial scout drilling. Approximately half of the planned 7,000 metres of drilling will be allocated to the Bear fault corridor, which hosts high-grade veins at the Disco zone and remains open along strike in both directions as well as up and downdip. The remainder of our planned drilling will be focused on initial tests of new high-priority target areas, including the first drilling on newly acquired private lands in the western portion of the land package. We will also look to drill the initial holes into several compelling targets just south of the Bear fault in newly recognized parallel fault structures. We believe this year's program represents a great opportunity for the company to significantly advance the Spring Peak project and continue to build on quality results from our previous drilling."

On June 25, 2024, Headwater Gold Inc. has made significant expansions of its Spring Peak and Lodestar projects in Nevada, and has initiated a comprehensive district-scale exploration program. The land expansion and regional exploration programs are being financed through earn-in agreements with Newmont Corp. announced on Aug. 16, 2022, and May 9, 2023. Highlights:

• Ninety-seven-per-cent land position expansion: Headwater Gold has staked 583 new claims, expanding its combined Spring Peak and Lodestar land positions by 97 per cent. This now secures approximately 15 kilometres of strike extent along the Aurora trend, which historically produced nearly four million ounces of gold.
• District-scale exploration program: A comprehensive exploration program is under way in the district, including gravity geophysics, CSAMT geophysics, helicopter magnetics and radiometrics, stream sediment sampling, rock sampling, and soil sampling utilizing Newmont's deep sensing geochemistry methodology.
• Drilling program scheduled: A multirig drill program at Spring Peak, totalling up to approximately 7,000 metres over 20 to 25 holes, is scheduled to begin in the first half of July, 2024. The primary objective of the drill program will be to test for extensions of mineralization along the Bear fault corridor, which hosts high-grade mineralization at the Disco zone discovery.
• New Doug target zone: Subcropping mineralized epithermal veins have been identified at the new Doug target area. Vein textures in the area are characteristic of the shallow portions of an epithermal vein system. Initial rock samples have yielded gold values up to 2.05 grams per tonne gold, with additional follow-up sampling under way.

Caleb Stroup, president and chief executive officer of the company, stated: "We are thrilled with the strategic expansion of our land position, which we believe significantly increases our potential for discovering a Tier 1 high-grade gold deposit along the prolific Aurora trend. The commencement of our district-scale exploration program, together with the identification of the new Doug target, underscores our commitment to aggressive and systematic exploration in the district. We are particularly excited about our ongoing application of advanced geophysical and geochemical techniques, including Newmont's deep sensing geochemistry, to explore areas with thin postmineral cover. We believe these tools will play a critical role in our efforts to unlock the full potential of this high-grade district."
