8 terms

mineral resource estimate technical

"in advance of the upcoming updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE")"

A mineral resource estimate is a calculated approximation of how much metal or mineral material likely exists in a particular deposit and where it sits underground, similar to estimating how many cookies are in a jar by peeking at the layers. It matters to investors because it provides a data-based starting point for judging a project's potential value, future production and risks, while not guaranteeing recoverable or profitable amounts.

preliminary economic assessment financial

"upcoming updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA")"

A preliminary economic assessment is an initial analysis that estimates the potential profitability and feasibility of a project or resource, such as a new mineral deposit or development venture. It provides a rough idea of costs, benefits, and risks, helping investors decide whether to pursue more detailed studies. This early evaluation is important because it offers a snapshot of whether the project is worth further investment and development.

alkalic porphyry technical

"outlined a large alkalic porphyry type copper-gold-cobalt-scandium resource"

An alkalic porphyry is a type of underground rock body formed when mineral-rich molten rock cools and crystallizes, creating a large, often porous mass that commonly concentrates metals such as copper, gold and sometimes molybdenum. For investors, these deposits matter because they can host large, high-value ore bodies; thinking of the rock like a cookie with concentrated metal “chips” helps explain why finding one can underpin a long-lived, potentially profitable mine.

pyrite concentrate technical

"cobalt is efficiently liberated into a clean pyrite concentrate suitable for"

A pyrite concentrate is a mined and processed material made mostly of pyrite, an iron‑sulfur mineral, separated from waste rock so the product is a high‑grade pile of that single mineral. Investors care because it can be sold for its sulfur and metal content or used in industrial processes, but it also brings extra processing costs, potential revenue, and environmental and regulatory liabilities—like a bulk shipment of a single raw ingredient that must be handled carefully.

lithium-ion batteries technical

"It is essential for:High-performance lithium-ion batteriesSuperalloys used"

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are lightweight, high-energy storage cells that use lithium ions moving between electrodes to store and release electricity, like a refillable fuel tank for electronic devices and electric vehicles. Investors care because they power a wide range of products from phones to cars and grid systems, so improvements, costs, supply chain constraints, or safety issues can directly affect manufacturers’ profits, product demand, and capital expenditure plans.

superalloys technical

"High-performance lithium-ion batteriesSuperalloys used in aerospace and defense"

Superalloys are advanced metal mixtures designed to keep their strength, shape and resistance to heat and corrosion under extreme conditions—think of them as high-performance engines for parts that must work reliably at very high temperatures. They matter to investors because demand for these materials ties directly to capital-intensive industries like jet engines, power generation and industrial manufacturing; changes in supply, production costs or new materials can affect profit margins, project timelines and long-term market growth.

critical mineral regulatory

"Cobalt is designated a critical mineral by Canada, the United States"

A critical mineral is a naturally occurring element or metal that is essential for modern technologies—like batteries, electronics, clean energy systems and defense—and whose supply is vulnerable to disruption. Investors care because these minerals act like key building blocks: shortages, geopolitical controls, or production bottlenecks can sharply raise costs, stall product rollouts, change profit forecasts, and prompt government policy or subsidies that affect company valuations.

ni 43-101 regulatory

"Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved"

A Canadian regulatory standard that sets the rules for how mining and exploration companies must report mineral resources and reserves, requiring technical reports prepared or signed off by an independent, certified expert. It matters to investors because it creates a consistent, transparent “inspection report” for mining projects, making it easier to compare prospects, judge the reliability of claims, and assess geological and financial risk before investing.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 2, 2025) -  Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: A1W038) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a summary of the cobalt component of its Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia, in advance of the upcoming updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). Based on the Company's review of publicly available information, the Hat Deposit may contain one of the largest undeveloped cobalt inventories associated with a Canadian mineral deposit.

The Hat Deposit Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, released July 25, 2024, outlined a large alkalic porphyry type copper-gold-cobalt-scandium resource, within which cobalt occurs as a by-product metal uniformly associated with copper and pyrite mineralization. The cobalt component of the resource is summarized as follows:

• Indicated: 150 million tonnes containing 28 million pounds (approximately 12,700 tonnes) of cobalt at 0.008% Co

• Inferred: 477 million tonnes containing 91 million pounds (approximately 41,300 tonnes) of cobalt at 0.009% Co

The Hat Deposit contains one of the more significant undeveloped cobalt-containing mineral resources in Canada. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Cobalt is consistently distributed throughout the alkalic porphyry system alongside copper, gold, silver, and scandium. Metallurgical testwork to date indicates that cobalt is efficiently liberated into a clean pyrite concentrate suitable for conventional downstream processing. Additional metallurgical work is ongoing.

Farshad Shirvani, President & CEO, commented: "Copper, gold, and scandium remain the primary value drivers at the Hat Deposit, but the cobalt content represents a meaningful additional component of the project's critical-minerals profile. As demand for secure and responsibly sourced battery metals continues to rise, the Hat Deposit's location in a Tier-1 jurisdiction and its unusually large cobalt endowment strengthen the project's long-term relevance. As we complete the updated MRE and advance our PEA, cobalt will be one of several important contributors evaluated in the broader economic framework."

Why Cobalt from Hat Matters

Cobalt is designated a critical mineral by Canada, the United States, the European Union, Australia, Japan, and the United Kingdom. It is essential for:

• High-performance lithium-ion batteries

• Superalloys used in aerospace and defense

• Clean-energy technologies including wind, fuel cells, and emerging grid-storage systems

More than 70% of refined cobalt is processed in China, and most mine supply originates from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Western governments and industry groups are seeking secure, ethical, and transparent supply chains. Canada currently produces only minor by-product cobalt amounts. The Hat Deposit has the scale, continuity, and jurisdictional advantages to potentially contribute to future domestic supply should the project advance through the necessary evaluation and development stages.

Scandium Exploration Target

The Hat Deposit also hosts a previously disclosed exploration target of 300-500 million tonnes averaging approximately 40 ppm (0.004%) Sc₂O₃.

"The scandium resource potential is based on the drill holes on the property drilled for (July 25, 2024) maiden resource estimate for other metal content than scandium. The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource."

A NI 43-101 Technical Report supporting the 2024 MRE is filed on SEDAR+.
