Over the past three months, Naughty Ventures issued several strategic updates, including a corporate update on the Bottom Brook rare-earth property on Oct 14 that saw a 35.95% gain. Subsequent option and acquisition deals on Oct 16 and Oct 17 triggered declines of -26.67% and -4.91%. A rare earth option closing on Nov 21 and a copper investment on Dec 2 were followed by drops of -16.67% and -24.31%.

Market Pulse Summary

This announcement stakes the 5,300-hectare LYNXSTRIKE Gold Project directly beside Trident’s Contact Lake discovery, which reported 7.03 g/t Au over 43.25m and updated resources of 896,500 Indicated and 1,129,600 Inferred ounces. For Naughty Ventures, it extends a recent run of expansion and option deals. Key factors to watch include follow-up exploration plans on LYNXSTRIKE, financing approaches, and how new results compare with the nearby Contact Lake data.

Key Terms

g/t au technical

"Trident's standout drill result announced on November 12, 2025:7.03 g/t Au over 43.25 metres"

g/t Au stands for grams per tonne of gold and measures how much gold is contained in one tonne of rock or ore. Investors use it like a yield rate: higher g/t Au means more gold recovered from the same amount of material, which usually improves a mine’s revenue potential and lowers production cost per unit of metal. Think of it as the sweetness level of fruit—more sugar per piece makes each piece more valuable.

oz/t au technical

"Historic Studer B gold showing with 0.087 oz/t Au historic grab sample"

oz/t Au denotes the amount of gold measured in troy ounces contained in one metric tonne of ore; it expresses the concentration of gold in a rock sample. Investors use it like a recipe’s ingredient concentration — higher oz/t Au means more gold per tonne, which generally raises the value of mined material, improves revenue potential and can lower production cost per ounce when assessing a mining project.

indicated technical

"Trident announced a significant upgrade to its overall resource base... 896,500 Indicated Au ounces"

Indicated describes a medical use or patient group for which a drug, device, or treatment has been shown or authorized to work; it's like a label that says which problem the product is meant to fix. For investors, a new or expanded indication can directly change a product’s potential sales and market size, similar to a store adding a new aisle of goods that attracts more customers.

inferred technical

"Trident announced a significant upgrade... 1,129,600 Inferred Au ounces"

Inferred means a conclusion or piece of information drawn from available clues rather than directly observed or confirmed. For investors, an inference is like reading a weather forecast from cloud patterns: it helps form expectations about a company’s performance or risks when hard data is missing, but it carries uncertainty and should be weighed alongside verified facts.

mineral resource estimates technical

"The Contact Lake intercept is not yet included in these updated Mineral Resource Estimates"

Mineral resource estimates are scientific calculations of how much of a particular metal or mineral likely exists in a specific underground deposit, expressed in quantities and quality based on drilling, sampling and geological models. Investors use them like a preliminary inventory or treasure map: they indicate potential value and help size exploration and development decisions, but they are not guaranteed marketable reserves and usually require further work to confirm economic viability.

qualified person regulatory

"reviewed and approved by Alex Bugden, P.Geo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101"

A qualified person is someone with specialized knowledge, experience, and training in a particular field, allowing them to accurately assess and verify information or work. Their expertise helps ensure that reports, evaluations, or decisions are trustworthy and meet required standards. For investors, a qualified person provides confidence that the information they rely on is credible and properly validated.

national instrument 43-101 regulatory

"a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101"

National Instrument 43-101 is a set of rules and guidelines that govern how mineral exploration and mining companies must report information about their projects. It ensures that the details shared with investors are accurate, consistent, and reliable—similar to how a detailed, verified blueprint ensures a building’s safety. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy information about a company's mineral resources.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 11, 2025) - Naughty Ventures Corp. (CSE: BAD) (OTC Pink: YORKF) (FSE: 5DE0) ("Naughty Ventures" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has staked a strategic 5,300-hectare land package, hereinafter referred to as the LYNXSTRIKE Gold Project, directly adjoining Trident Resources Corp.'s ("Trident") emerging high-grade Contact Lake Gold Discovery in the La Ronge Gold Belt of Saskatchewan.

This strategic land position places Naughty Ventures immediately beside one of Canada's most exciting new gold discoveries-including Trident's standout drill result announced on November 12, 2025:

• 7.03 g/t Au over 43.25 metres, including 30.06 g/t Au over 9.25 metres (Hole CL25-003) ⁽¹⁾

The discovery sits within the area of the former Cameco Contact Lake Gold Mine, which was decommissioned in 1998 after historic drilling failed to identify additional gold zones. Trident's new intercept changes the geological outlook for the district, revealing untapped expansion potential in an area long believed to be exhausted.

LYNXSTRIKE Gold Project Highlights

• 5,300+ hectares directly adjoining the new high-grade Contact Lake discovery

• Historic Studer B gold showing with 0.087 oz/t Au historic grab sample ⁽²⁾

• Underexplored land position with similar geology to the discovery zone

• Highway access between Trident's property and Naughty Ventures' claims

District Context

Following Hole CL25-003, Trident announced a significant upgrade to its overall resource base across four deposits in the La Ronge Gold Belt ⁽³⁾:

• 896,500 Indicated Au ounces

• 1,129,600 Inferred Au ounces

The Contact Lake intercept is not yet included in these updated Mineral Resource Estimates, underscoring the potential for substantial future growth in the district.

Blair Naughty, Chief Executive Officer of Naughty Ventures, commented:

"We have been closely monitoring the rapid progress at Contact Lake, and Hole CL25-003 immediately stood out as a transformational intercept. Learning that this new discovery occurred within the historic Contact Lake Mine area-previously believed to be exhausted-changes the exploration landscape in the area. We moved quickly to secure a directly adjoining land position with similar geology, historic gold occurrences, and excellent road access. Our shareholders now have direct exposure to what may be becoming one of the most compelling new gold districts in Canada. We look forward to advancing LYNXSTRIKE while continuing to follow Trident's success."
