The third regional prize, over $34,000 in gold coins, are hidden in the heart of British Columbia's legendary gold mining region

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 21, 2025) - EarthLabs Inc.(TSXV: SPOT) (OTCQX: SPOFF) (FSE: 8EK0) The Great Canadian Treasure Hunt continues to mesmerize Canadians as thousands come together to search for more than $1.3 million in gold treasure. The organizers, The Northern Miner, are excited to announce the third regional prize: six one-ounce gold coins, valued at over $34,000, are located in one of Canada's most prolific gold regions - the mineral-rich belt of northwestern B.C.'s Golden Triangle.

This third regional prize in the Great Canadian Treasure Hunt follows the discovery of the second regional prize in Cobalt, Ontario, by a father-son duo. These regional prizes continue to drive excitement and momentum among treasure hunters and observers across Canada, not to mention the desire to track down the grand prize.

"The Golden Triangle is more than a patch of mountains in northwestern B.C., it's a living testament to Canada's rich mining legacy," said Anthony Vaccaro, President of The Northern Miner Group. "For over a century, miners have pursued its vast mineral wealth, uncovering some of the richest gold, silver and copper deposits in the world. Today, the Golden Triangle continues to bridge Canada's historic mining achievements with future opportunities, exemplifying the nation's resource potential across the country."

The newly released B.C. treasure invites followers of the hunt to learn more about the Golden Triangle's significant role in Canada's mining history, explore its scenic wilderness and join the search for the treasure. Every regional clue ties back to the grand treasure, valued at more than $1 million, hidden somewhere in Canada.
