The Whale Cove Project is found near the Hamlet of Whale Cove in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut. The project now consists of (a) the Whale Cove Property, which constitutes a number of Crown mineral claims covering an area of circa 974 sq. kms and (b) a further expanded area south of, but contiguous to the Whale Cove Property, which is entirely comprised of Inuit-owned land (subsurface and surface).The project area extends from its eastern boundary approximately 9 km northwest of Whale Cove for 85 km to the west-northwest. In 2023, Northquest Ltd. and the Pistol Bay Project were renamed Whale Cove Gold Corp. and the Whale Cove Project, respectively. The project is owned by Whale Cove Gold Corp. (“WCGC”), a wholly owned (indirect) subsidiary of BG Gold Capital II Corp. Today, the Whale Cove Project is an exploration project that has several gold prospects (many of which have been drilled), including the more advanced Vickers Deposit. Economic studies to examine the viability of the project will be progressed in the coming years, along with further exploration drilling, baseline studies and infrastructure upgrades. The project currently operates an approved camp referred to as Pistol Bay Camp. In summary, WCGC has agreements, licences and authorizations to conduct exploration activities on the Whale Cove Property including:•Operate a 35- persons camp at Pistol Bay,•Construct and operate a 35- persons camp at Vickers and reclaim the Pistol Bay Camp, •Conduct geophysical and ground surveys,•Operate 2 exploration drills, and•Drill on the Whale Cove Property.Through this application, WCGC are proposing to NIRB to:•Expand the regional exploration area,•Increase the Vickers camp capacity from 35- persons to a 100-person all-season camp, •Operate 2 more exploration drills (for a total of 4 drills to operate), and•As needed, operate a 20-person mobile camp within the project area. WCGC are further requesting to renew the Type B water licence 2BE-PBP2025 and will update leases and land use permits to reflect the camp expansion.
