Project Summary
6106 Resources Limited (the Company) is an exploration company based out of Calgary Alberta and is a subsidiary of Manhattan Corporation. The Hook Lake Project is located within the Rankin-Ennadai greenstone belt. The Rankin – Ennadai is the second largest greenstone belt in Canada, however the area has seen only minimal exploration and detailed geological mapping. At Hook Lake, mineralization within the project consists primarily of gold, with various other metals including silver, copper and zinc. The Company holds mineral claims on both Crown Land and Inuit Owned Land (IOL). In July 2025 a Land Use License was granted by the Kivalliq Inuit Association (KVL125B05), for exploration activities on Inuit Owned Land (IOL) parcels AR-16, AR-23, WC-10, and RI-23. No Land Use Permit was required for exploration on Crown Land as there was no water use or camp. Exploration activities including surface rock sampling, geological observations and location of historic core samples took place at the project site approximately 140 km northwest of Arviat. These activities were helicopter supported, based out of Arviat. No camp was used at that time. The Company is now proposing to continue exploration activities including drilling, electro-magnetic (EM)surveys, ground and air geophysics, prospecting and sampling and to build a small, temporary exploration camp (20-person) to support the activities. It is proposed that the camp could be built in the Spring, and that exploration activities carry on until the Fall of 2026 and remain closed during the Winter months. The camp could be accessed via air in the summer and perhaps via trail from Arviat during winter depending on permissions. Mobilization of equipment and supplies to the proposed camp location, could take place in the Spring with the help of local contractors experienced in Arctic conditions. A specific site for the camp has not been chosen at this time, but rather a general location, which may be on Crown or Inuit Owned Land (see map). Once more information is obtained from local knowledge holders, a specific site will be chosen and regulators advised. In order to support these activities, the Company is applying for a Type 111 Land Use License from the Kivalliq Inuit Association (KIA), a Type B Land Use Permit for exploration activities on Crown Land, and a Type B Water License from the Nunavut Water Board for water use, and waste disposal. Mineral exploration activities have been undertaken in this area for many years, with gold first discovered in 1948, and work completed on all mineral claims by previous proponents. 6106 Resources Ltd. strongly respects the wildlife, the environment and the advice of local knowledge holders regarding timing and migration of wildlife and will abide by the terms and conditions of all licenses and permits. At the advice of the Arviat CLARC, Kivalliq Inuit Association’s Mobile Protection Measures would be adhered to. Previous engagement by Eric Sondergaard took place via the KIA who held two CLARC meetings on April 15 2024 and June 12th 2024. After thorough review, the Arviat CLARC members are in support of the work plan, as it brings potential employment opportunities to the community members of Arviat. The Arviat HTO has been informed about the potential project actives and location, as well as the recommendations by the CLARC committee. Additional information regarding wildlife sensitivities has been sought, and 6106 Resources is optimistic for an open, constructive dialogue. In person meetings have been offered by the company as the permitting process advances. Its worth noting that Mineral exploration activities have been undertaken in this area for many years, including on portions of mineral claims and agreements by previous proponents. These overlapping exploration activities have been subject to a number of previous Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB) screenings, NPC review, and further screening may not be required (NIRB File 21EN009, NPC File No 149463, 16EN035).6106 Resources has a high regard for the environment and for the people on who’s land they are exploring and intends to work hard to gain their respect. In order to do that, they will work within the terms and conditions of all their licenses and permits and seek the advice and experience of local knowledge holders. 6106 Resources Ltd. plans to conduct meaningful community consultation as well as meetings with the Hunter’s and Trappers Organization (HTO) and the KIA Community Lands and Resources Committee (CLARC) in the Winter of 2026. Employment and business opportunities are somewhat modest at this early stage of mineral exploration but every effort will be made to prioritize benefits to Arviat
