PROJECTS

Rodgers Cove

Overview

The 100%-owned Rodgers Cove Gold Project comprises 260 claims totaling 6,500 hectares in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt (CNGB) — an area known for hosting multiple gold discoveries along major deformation zones.

Recent Expansion:

  • 72% increase in total land holdings following December 2025 staking of 109 new claims (2,725 hectares).
  • New claims directly overlie the Appleton Fault Zone (AFZ), an important structural control for Newfound Gold's high-grade Keats and Iceberg gold deposits.
  • Claims adjoin Newfound Gold Corp's Queensway Expansion Project.

Key Highlights

Located within the Exploits Subzone, along the Appleton and JBP Faults, key structural corridors associated with major gold systems.

Never drill-tested; early trenching returned up to 115.6 g/t Au over 1m and 22.6 g/t Au over 0.5m.

Multiple high-grade showings including grab samples up to 11.93 g/t Au and 440 g/t Ag.

Four primary gold targets defined by strong soil and rock anomalies.

Situated less than 50 km north of Gander with excellent access, tidewater proximity, and nearby power infrastructure.

Geology & Historic Work*

Rodgers Cove is situated on the eastern edge of the Dunnage Zone within the Exploits Subzone, an area that forms the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt. The Property straddles both the JBP Fault and the Appleton Fault, which are associated with hydrothermal epigenetic gold veining at high-grade discoveries in the Exploits Subzone. In line with these discoveries is the presence of altered granodiorite-hosted mineralization linked to quartz veining and abundant arsenopyrite.

The property has seen limited exploration conducted historically and has never been drilled. Soil geochemistry, trenching, and limited channel sampling have identified multiple anomalies:

  • Target #1: 800 × 600m soil anomaly with up to 758 ppb Au, trench results up to 115.6 g/t Au over 1m.
  • Target #2: 400 × 500m anomaly with soils between 50–300 ppb Au, historic showings up to 14.56 g/t Au and 440 g/t Ag.
  • Target #3: 100 × 450m anomaly with soils up to 1.78 g/t Au.
  • Target #4: Multiple high-grade gold showings, including Rodgers Cove (7.55 g/t Au), Kypher (11.93 g/t Au), and Long Pond (7.16 g/t Au).

Exploration Program

Sorrento is actively advancing exploration at Rodgers Cove with a comprehensive program designed to unlock the project's full potential:

  • Geochemical and geophysical surveys are ongoing across the expanded property.
  • Fully funded diamond drilling program set to commence in early 2026 — the first drill testing in the project's history.
  • Targeting high-priority zones along the Appleton Fault Zone where surface sampling has returned exceptional gold grades.
