Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 20, 2025) - Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) (FSE: HLIA) (the "Company" or "Nicola") is pleased to announce commencement of the 2025 Exploration Diamond Drilling Program (the "2025 Program") at its New Craigmont Copper Project ("New Craigmont"), near Merritt, BC.

Exploration Target Generation Activities

Five priority exploration targets (Figure 1), three of which are included in Nicola's 2025 program, have been identified through collaboration in 2025 with ALS Geoanalytics (GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd.; "GoldSpot") using AI-based methods to analyze and correlate geophysical and geochemical data from Nicola's large exploration database.

Target A corresponds well with the West Craigmont/WP target area where several holes were drilled in 2024 (see August 30, 2024 News Release). Drilling in 2024 revealed favourable alteration with follow-up potential.

Target B is a new, undrilled target identified by the Goldspot analysis.

Target C corresponds with the MARB/CAS target area where positive results from the 2024 Exploration Program made it a high priority target.

Target D corresponds with the important Titan Queen MINFILE showing. Historic and subsequent drilling and mapping in 2016 support more drilling.

Target E is another new target from the Goldspot analysis that is added to the 2025 Program.

Nicola continues to work with GoldSpot to refine the 2025 Exploration Program that will include collection of X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) data under the guidance of GoldSpot to ensure consistent, high-quality data acquisition aligned with New Craigmont's exploration goals. This new data will contribute to the development of exploration targets and improve understanding of skarn and porphyry-style mineralization.

Diamond Drilling Plans

Exploration plans for the 2025 Program include 4,000-5,000 metres of diamond drilling at the MARB/CAS, West Craigmont/WP, and two new target areas generated by ALS GoldSpot (Fig. 2). The purpose of the 2025 Program is to collect geological data for target development for a potential porphyry copper system at New Craigmont. Drill core will provide valuable information on lithology, structure, alteration and mineralization, and multi-element analysis.

Drilling at MARB will follow-up near-surface porphyry-style copper-mineralization with holes designed to test a vertical mineralization trend at depth. Near surface skarn at CAS discovered in 2024 is characteristic of mineralization observed in the Embayment Zone. Additional drilling in the 2025 Program will investigate potential continuity along trend between MARB, CAS and the Embayment Zone.

Draken is a high-priority, undrilled target consisting of a cluster of copper showings discovered from Nicola's field program in 2023 (Figure 2). Outcrops of Guichon Border Phase quartz diorite contain porphyry style quartz-feldspar veinlets with weak copper oxide minerals. Exposures at Draken exhibit some of the best-developed porphyry-style alteration documented on the New Craigmont property, and the target also coincides with high resistivity and high chargeability geophysical response.

Summary

Nicola's objective for 2025 is to continue to target for porphyry systems by conducting the following:

Acquire an enhanced suite of geochemical data for more targeting studies with GoldSpot

Expand the extent of mineralization observed at the MARB and CAS targets

Test two new targets at West Craigmont, including Draken

Test two new targets generated by GoldSpot in the centre of the property

The estimated budget for the 2025 Program is $1.5-2 M. Nicola anticipates drilling to conclude sometime in September.

The Company will provide a separate news release on exploration at its high-grade silver Treasure Mountain Project.

https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/apex-critical-metals-receives-multi-year-permit-and-preps-drill-program-at-cap-pr-1040977

Thursday, 19 June 2025 08:30 AM

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 19, 2025 / Apex Critical Metals Corp. (CSE:APXC)(OTCQB:APXCF)(FWB:KL9) ("Apex" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has received a five-year Multi-Year Area-Based Exploration Permit (MYAB) and has advanced plans for a 2025 summer diamond drill program at its Cap Project (the "Project") located in east-central British Columbia. Drilling is expected to commence in mid-July, with approximately 1,000 to 1,500 metres of core drilling anticipated.

The 2025 campaign marks the Company's inaugural drill program at CAP, and the first program on the Project since 2017, when mineralized carbonatite was intersected in drillhole CAP17-004. The 2025 drilling program will target the 1.8 km-long niobium-in-soil anomaly and mineralized carbonatite outcrops identified by the Company in 2024. (see news release dated November 12, 2024, Figure 1). These areas remain untested by previous drilling.

Cap Project highlights from 2024 exploration include (see Figure 1):

3.33% Nb2O5 returned in outcrop with four (4) additional outcrop samples assaying between 0.16% to 0.50% Nb2O5. Two mineralized carbonatite outcrops discovered are separated by approximately 250 m

1.79% Nb2O5 and 1.45% Nb2O5returned in carbonatite boulders

A single drill hole along the southeast margins of the anomaly from 2017 returned 0.35% Nb2O5 over 10.4 m (Drill Hole CAP17-004).

Distinct niobium anomaly discovered from soil sampling, situated along interpreted trend of known mineralized carbonatite outcrops and overlying radiometric anomaly

Elevated rare earth oxide ("REO") values also identified with one soil sample assaying 1.21% REO and three (3) additional samples assaying between 0.33% and 0.34% REO

"We are eager to advance the CAP Project to the drill stage," notes Sean Charland, CEO of Apex Critical Metals. "The 2025 program is designed to evaluate the scale and depth potential of the newly discovered carbonatite-hosted niobium and REO mineralization. With a strong foundation from our 2024 work, we're looking forward to testing some of the most compelling targets identified to date."

Apex received a five-year Multi-Year Area-Based Exploration Permit (Permit Number MX-11-251, the "MYAB Permit"), effective November 6, 2024, encompasses most of the CAP Project.

The MYAB Permit allows for Apex to complete the following key exploration activities:

Conduct up to 60 diamond drill holes.

Perform targeted drilling along the niobium trend to determine its continuity and width.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

All 2024 rock samples were collected in the field using a hammer and chisel. Soil samples were collected from the presumed B horizon using a hand auger and/or geotool. Stream concentrate samples were collected by fill approximately ¾ of a 12x20 cm sample bag with stream sediment. The material was first passed through a 1/8-inch sieve yielding a fine fraction that was then processed using both 14" LeTrap plastic pans to concentrate the heavy fraction, resulting in approximately tens of grams per sample. The concentrate was then carefully transferred to a pre-labeled zip-lock sample bag with a corresponding sample book tag and sample number Locations for all sample types were obtained using a handheld GPS or tablet with samples placed in pre-labelled sample bags. Metal tags with the sample numbers and flagging tape were left at each sample location.

Samples were shipped using Manitoulin Transport to Actlabs Laboratory in Kamloops BC. Rock samples were prepped via RX1, Dry, crush (< 7 kg) up to 80% passing 2 mm, riffle split (250 g) and pulverize (mild steel) to 95% passing 105 µm. Analysis consisted of Code 8 by XRF Nb2O5, ZrO2 and Ta2O5 (0.003%), Code 8 - REE Assay, and 1A2 Au Fire Assay - AA, 30g weight, 5-5,000 ppb. Soil and stream concentrate samples were prepped using code S1-230, which requires drying (60ºC) and sieving (-63 µm). Analysis consisted of packages 4B2-STD, Lithium Borate Fusion / ICP-MS Trace Element package, and 1A2 Au Fire Assay - AA, 30g weight, 5-5,000 ppb

A Quality Assurance/Quality Control protocol was incorporated into the rock sampling program and included the insertion of two certified reference material ("CRM's) and one quartz blank representing approximately 9% of submitted samples. For the soil sampling and stream concentrate sampling, a total of five CRMs were inserted into the sample stream representing approximately 1% of the submitted samples, with the Company also relying on the internal QA/QC procedures of Actlabs.

Management cautions that prospecting surface rock samples, soil samples, stream concentrate samples and associated assays, as discussed herein, are selective by nature and represent a point location, and therefore may not necessarily be fully representative of the mineralized horizon sampled.

Eagle Plains and Tana Resources Execute Option Agreement for the MPW Copper-Gold Project, British Columbia

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/256022/Eagle-Plains-and-Tana-Resources-Execute-Option-Agreement-for-the-MPW-CopperGold-Project-British-Columbia

June 19, 2025 7:27 AM EDT | Source: Tana Resources Corp.

Cranbrook, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 19, 2025) - Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV: EPL) (OTCQB: EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") and Tana Resources Inc. (CSE: TANA) ("TANA" or "Tana") are pleased to announce the parties have entered into an option agreement (the "Option") dated June 17, 2025, pursuant to which Tana has been granted the exclusive right to acquire up to a 75% interest in Eagle Plains' wholly-owned Mount Polly West (MPW) copper-gold project ("the Project"). The 7,407 ha MPW Project is located 54 kms north-northeast of Williams Lake and adjacent to Imperial Metals' Mount Polley Property, in British Columbia's Cariboo region. Management of both Eagle Plains and Tana consider the MPW to hold excellent potential for copper-gold porphyry and epithermal gold mineralization. The property is owned 100% by Eagle Plains, with a portion of the property subject to Net Smelter Royalties held by third parties, including Eagle Royalties.

Key highlights include:

Historical trenching returned 1.12% Cu over 35m, including 7.12% Cu over 5m 1
Historic exploration has documented
multiple mineralized intrusions similar in nature to the Mount Polley Intrusive Complex (MPIC) 2
coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies that support the presence of additional prospective intrusions 3
exploration by Eagle Plains has located down-ice basal till gold grain counts indicative of potential proximal sources 4

Chuck Downie, President and CEO of Eagle Plains commented, "Grass roots fieldwork by Eagle Plains and past operators at MPW has identified many of the geological indicators associated with porphyry and epithermal mineralizing systems and we look forward to working with the Tana team to advance the Project."

"We are excited to add the Mount Polley West project to the Tana portfolio and work with the Eagle Plains, one of the top project generators," commented Tana CEO Vic Koraijan. "The historic compilation in combination with the recent work by Eagle Plains has identified excellent porphyry and epithermal targets in a known mineral rich belt," he added.

To exercise the Option, Tana must make a series of cash payments and share issuances to Eagle Plains and fund exploration expenditures on the Project. These payments, share issuance and expenditures are separated into two phases, with the First Option entitling Tana to acquire a 60% interest in the Project by paying CA$250,000, issuing an aggregate of 2,750,000 common shares to EPL and funding CA$3,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project by over a four-year term, including $75,000 in expenditures in 2025. Pursuant to the Second Option (if elected by Tana), Tana may acquire an additional 15% interest in the Project (for a 75% total interest) by notifying Eagle Plains of its intent to increase its interest to 75%, and by completing a bankable feasibility-level study on the Property prior to December 31, 2031.

If either the First Option or the Second Option is exercised, a 2% smelter return royalty will be granted to the Eagle Plains over part of the property, 1% of which may be repurchased for CA$1,000,000.

Eagle Plains will serve as Operator under the terms of Option and will reserve the right to use TerraLogic Exploration Inc. as geoscience consultant. Following the exercise of either the First Option or the Second Option, Tana and Eagle Plains shall then form a 60/40 or 75/25 joint venture ("JV") to further explore and develop the Property.

Some of the above results were taken directly from MINFILE descriptions and assessment reports (ARIS) filed with the BC government. Management cautions that historical results were collected and reported by past operators and have not been verified nor confirmed by a Qualified Person but form a basis for ongoing work on the subject properties. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the subject properties.

See MPW Property Information and Map here

The Mount Polley West property lies in the Quesnel Trough and is underlain by the Triassic Nicola Group volcanics and volcaniclastics intruded by coeval and younger small stocks, plugs and dykes of syenitic to monzodioritic compositon, a setting similar to the Mount Polley Mine approximately 5 kilometres to the east. In addition, 10 documented BC MINFILE mineral occurrences lie within the property boundaries, primarily copper showings.

Teuton Resources/Tudor Gold Commence 2025 Exploration Drill Program at Treaty Creek

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/256111/Tudor-Gold-Commences-2025-Exploration-Drill-Program-at-Treaty-Creek

June 19, 2025 5:00 AM EDT | Source: Tudor Gold Corp.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 19, 2025) - Tudor Gold Corp. (TSXV: TUD) (FSE: H56) (the "Company" or "Tudor") reports on the 2025 exploration drill program at its flagship Treaty Creek Project, located in the Golden Triangle of Northwest British Columbia, and other matters.

2025 Exploration Program

Phase 1 drilling of the 2025 exploration program has commenced and is expected to consist of seven holes totaling approximately 6,000 meters (m) of diamond drilling at the Goldstorm Deposit. The primary objective of the Phase 1 drill program is to expand the recently discovered high-grade gold Supercell-One system (SC-1), which was delineated over an 800 m by 400 m area during 2024. SC-1 is a gold-dominant, quartz-sulphide, breccia-hosted structural corridor open to the northwest, north and east. There is excellent potential to discover further high-grade SC-1 style gold-bearing structures proximal to the Goldstorm Deposit within a 600 m by 400 m area extending from SC-1 to previously identified high-grade intercepts within the 300H and 300N Domains of the Goldstorm Deposit.

Drill results from SC-1 in 2022 to 2024 include the following high-grade gold intercepts:

GS-23-176-W1: 15.00 m @ 15.64 grams/tonne (g/t) AuEQ (14.89 g/t Au, 4.72 g/t Ag, 0.60% Cu)
GS-22-134: 25.50 m @ 9.96 g/t AuEQ (9.66 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Ag, 0.24% Cu)
including 4.50 m @ 20.86 g/t AuEQ (20.61 g/t Au, 1.50 g/t Ag, 0.20% Cu)
GS-23-179: 12.00 m @ 10.07 g/t AuEQ (9.78 g/t Au, 1.35 g/t Ag, 0.23% Cu)
GS-24-185: 13.50 m @ 9.60 g/t AuEQ (9.58 g/t Au, 0.44 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu)

Drill results from 300H and 300N Domains in 2021 and 2023 include the following high-grade gold intercepts:

GS-21-113-W1: 13.50 m @ 8.96 g/t AuEQ (8.77 g/t Au, 15.10 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu)
GS-21-113: 24.00 m @ 6.06 g/t AuEQ (5.81g/t Au, 20.30 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu)
GS-23-178-W1: 12.00 m @ 6.03 g/t AuEQ (5.90 g/t Au, 12.31 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu)

Phase 2 of the 2025 exploration program will consist of 1,600 m of additional exploration drilling contingent on the success of Phase 1 drilling.

Underground Permitting

The application to permit an underground exploration drill program focused on the high-grade SC-1 is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks. Phase 3 of the 2025 exploration program will consist of two orientated-core geotechnical diamond drill holes, totaling approximately 500 m, targeting the portal and ramp entrance area for the underground development. These holes are planned to be drilled at the end of the 2025 exploration program.

Ken Konkin, Senior Vice-President of Exploration for Tudor Gold, comments: "We are focused on increasing the high-grade gold potential of SC-1 with this year's drill program. The planned holes are designed to expand upon the successful intercepts from our recent drill campaigns. The targets are structurally controlled, late-stage, gold-rich breccia systems that complement the four known SC-1 structures: SC-1 A, B, C and D. We look forward to a successful 2025 exploration program in the following months as we begin our quest to develop a multi-million-ounce high-grade gold system peripheral to the gold-copper Goldstorm Deposit."

Stock Option Grant

The Company has granted stock options to directors, officers, and consultants of the Company to purchase an aggregate of 6,750,000 common shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.60 per share, which expire on June 19, 2030. Following this stock option grant, the Company has a total of 25,920,000 stock options outstanding representing approximately 98.9% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. This stock option grant is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

Northern Lights Sells Secret Pass Gold Project

https://thenewswire.com/press-releases/1k1vFJRqm-northern-lights-sells-secret-pass-gold-project.html

Vancouver, British Columbia, June 19, 2025 – TheNewswire - Northern Lights Resources Corp. (“Northern Lights” or the “Company”) (CSE:NLR, OTC: NLRCF) is pleased to announce that entered into a definitive agreement (the ‘’Agreement’’) whereby the Company will sell a 100% interest in the Secret Pass Gold Project (‘’Secret Pass’’ or the ’’ Project’’) to a private third party company (the ‘’Buyer’’) (the “Transaction”).

The Secret Pass Project has been sold to the Buyer for total consideration of $600,000 in cash and equity payments plus Northern Lights retains a 2% Net Smelter Return (‘’NSR’’) on the Project as follows:

$150,000 of cash consideration to be paid to Northern Lights upon closing of the Transaction (of which a deposit of $25,000 has been paid);

Equity consideration payments of $450,000 to be paid to Northern Lights in three equal annual payments, with the first payment of $150,000 to be made upon closing of the Transaction; and

Northern Lights retains a 2% NSR that the Buyer may purchase 1% back by paying Northern Lights a cash payment of US$1,000,000.

Northern Lights acquired the Secret Pass Gold Project in 2021 and completed an initial core drilling program focused on the Tin Cup prospect where significant gold mineralization was intersected (see NLR announcement dated March 5, 2022 for details of the Tin Cup prospect drill results).

Northern Lights CEO, Jason Bahnsen, commented “As a project generator, Northern Lights has a proven track record of acquiring early-stage projects, adding value through exploration and then vending the projects to larger companies while retaining equity exposure and a royalty interest. After completing several years of exploration work at the Medicine Springs silver and base metals project in Nevada, Northern Lights sold its interest in the project to Reyna Silver Corp in 2022 in exchange for cash, shares and a 1% NSR.

The sale of Secret Pass is further example where Northern Lights has generated value through acquisition, exploration and the subsequent sale of the project for cash, equity and a 2% NSR.

Northern Lights will now focus on the exploration and value creation at the Horetzky copper project in British Columbia that is currently in the drill permitting stage with field work scheduled to commence in due course.’’

The Transaction is subject any required regulatory approvals and Northern Lights has agreed to pay a finder’s fee of $30,000 payable in NLR shares to a third party consultant.

Sun Summit Commences 2025 Exploration Program at the JD Project, Toodoggone District, British Columbia

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/255925/Sun-Summit-Commences-2025-Exploration-Program-at-the-JD-Project-Toodoggone-District-British-Columbia

June 18, 2025 7:00 AM EDT | Source: Sun Summit Minerals Corp.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 18, 2025) - Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) ("Sun Summit" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of its $6 million 2025 project-wide exploration program at the JD Project, Toodoggone Mining District, north-central British Columbia. Over 5,000 meters of drilling together with geophysical and geochemical surveys are designed to focus on target advancement, target generation and discovery.

Highlights and Next Steps:

Transformational Exploration Season Has Commenced: The 2025 program is more robust than the inaugural 2024 program, with double the budget and drill metres planned. Crews have mobilised to site with camp construction, geological mapping, IP Geophysics, and drill pad construction now underway. Drilling is anticipated to begin no later than mid-July.

Over 3,000 meters of drilling planned at the Creek Zone, designed to investigate the extent and continuity of near-surface, high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization. Historical and recent highlight intercepts include:

122.53 m of 2.11 g/t Au including 1.5 of 121.0 g/t Au (CZ-24-0047)
57.95 m of 2.69 g/t Au including 19.50 m of 7.31 g/t Au (CZ-24-0058)
22.0 m of 11.7 g/t Au including 4.0 m of 61.2 g/t Au (CZ97-0085)

Over 2,000 meters of drilling planned at the Finn Zone, designed to evaluate the extent and continuity of high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization. Historical highlight intercepts include:

35.7 m of 7.26 g/t Au including 1 m of 215.4 g/t Au (JD95-0472)
25.9 m of 6.42 g/t Au including 6.1 m of 12.8 g/t Au (JD94-0151)
22.0 m of 6.32 g/t Au including 12.6 m of 10.8 g/t Au (JD12-0033)

Project-wide exploration will also focus on drill target refinement, including:

Over 20 line km of induced polarization ("IP") geophysics along the newly defined 12 km long JD porphyry trend
Over 2,000 soil samples across parts of the JD porphyry trend and the epithermal-related Finn to Creek corridor
Over 30 days of project-wide geological mapping and prospecting

Niel Marotta, CEO of Sun Summit Minerals, commented: "We are very excited to have kicked off our 2025 exploration season at our JD project, which is fully funded by the proceeds of our recently completed private placement. The Toodoggone region in north-central British Columbia is one of the hottest mineral exploration districts in Canada, and has seen heightened corporate activity, combined with a large influx of capital. We expect plenty of news flow coming from the Toodoggone over the summer and fall, including drill results from our own aggressive 5,000 metre program."

JD Exploration Program

Crews have mobilised to the Toodoggone District to commence the 2025 JD Project exploration season (Figure 1). The primary goal for 2025 multidisciplinary exploration program is to advance and expand the epithermal-related Creek and Finn gold-silver targets through a series of systematic step-out holes, and to generate and refine new priority targets across the highly-prospective 4.5 km long Finn to Creek corridor, as well as the 12 km long JD porphyry trend (Figure 2).

Creek Zone: Drilling at the Creek Zone (Figure 2) is designed to investigate the lateral and vertical extent of high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization (e.g., 122.53 m of 2.11 g/t Au, including 20.0 m of 10.01 g/t Au, and including 1.52 m over 121.0 g/t Au, CZ-24-004, Figure 3, see October 2, 2024, news release). Based on new geological and structural modelling, a series of steeply-dipping, northwest trending parallel vein sets with associated halos of disseminated gold mineralization have been defined. Over 3,000 meters across 10 to 12 drill holes are planned to systematically test the vein-controlling structures on 50 to 100 meter pierce-points covering a strike-length of over 700 meters (Figure 3) and a down-dip extent of over 200 meters. Results from this phase of drilling should inform grade continuity, the scale of the epithermal system and where follow-up deeper and/or step-out holes are warranted.

Finn Zone: Drilling at the Finn Zone is designed to expand the footprint of high-grade, near-surface base metal-rich gold-silver mineralization intersected in historical drilling (e.g., 35.7 m of 7.26 g/t Au including 1 m of 215.4 g/t Au in hole JD95-0472). Based on an extensive compilation of over 300 historical drill holes, a new geological and structural model suggests that epithermal-related gold-silver mineralization is hosted within veins and vein-breccias situated along a northwest striking and gently dipping volcaniclastic unit. Over 2,000 meters of drilling across 7 to 9 drill holes are planned to test the model along strike (e.g., towards hole JD13-024) and down-dip (e.g., toward JD12-015) covering a strike-length of over 650 meters (Figure 4). Drilling near the higher-grade core may also be completed to verify historical grades, confirm structural controls and explore at depth to assess the geometry and grade of the mineralized footwall zone (e.g., JD12-0093).

Target Generation: Project-wide exploration activities are aimed at target generation and drill target refinement.

Over 20 line km of IP geophysics will build on previous surveys and expand the grid along the high-prospective, 12 km long JD porphyry trend. Areas considered prospective for porphyry-related mineralization along this trend (e.g., Belle South) will also be covered by new soil geochemical grids (Figure 2).
Areas considered highly-prospective for epithermal-related gold-silver mineralization along and proximal to the Finn to Creek corridor will be covered by new soil geochemical grids. Detailed geological mapping focused on lithological and structural controls of epithermal-related veins and breccias will be completed to inform a new targeting model.
High-priority target areas outside of the main JD area (e.g., Oxide Peak West, Moosehorn, and East McClair) will be investigated through geological mapping and prospecting (Figure 2).

Timeline: Crews have mobilised to site with camp construction, geological mapping, IP Geophysics, and drill pad construction now underway. Drilling at the Creek Zone is anticipated to begin by mid-July, at the latest.

About the JD Project

The JD Project is located in the Toodoggone mining district in north-central British Columbia, a highly prospective deposit-rich mineral trend. The project covers an area of over 15,000 hectares and is in close proximity to active exploration and development projects, such as Thesis Gold's Lawyers and Ranch projects, TDG Gold's Baker-Shasta projects, Amarc Resource's AuRORA project, Centerra's Gold's Kemess East and Underground projects, as well as the past-producing Kemess open pit copper-gold mine.

The project is 450 kilometres northwest of the city of Prince George, and 25 kilometres north of the Sturdee airstrip. It is proximal to existing infrastructure in place to support the past-producing Kemess mine, including roads and a hydroelectric power line.

The JD Project is in a favourable geological environment characterized by both high-grade epithermal gold and silver mineralization, as well as porphyry-related copper and gold mineralization. Some historical exploration, including drilling, geochemistry and geophysics, has been carried out on the property, however the project area is largely underexplored.

https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/finlay-minerals-announces-the-commencement-of-the-2025-pil-amp-atty-property-exploration-programs-816795965.html

News provided by Finlay Minerals Ltd. Jun 18, 2025, 08:00 ET

VANCOUVER, BC, June 18, 2025 /CNW/ - Finlay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: FYL) (OTCQB: FYMNF) ("Finlay" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the start of the 2025 exploration programs for its PIL and ATTY Properties within the Toodoggone Mining District of Northern British Columbia. These programs are fully funded under the Earn-In Agreements with Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc. ("Freeport"). Under these agreements, Freeport can earn up to an 80% interest in each property by investing $35 million in exploration expenditures and making cash payments of $4.1 million over a period of six years. (Reference #1).

The exploration programs at PIL and ATTY are designed to best outline and prioritize as many targets as possible for drill testing in 2026. The 2025 programs at both PIL and ATTY will consist of the following activities with Finlay acting as Operator:



Detailed, property-wide ,100 metre ("m") line-spaced airborne magnetic surveys;
extensive induced polarization ("IP") geophysical surveys;
detailed geological and alteration mapping and expanded rock and soil sampling on up to 8 target areas on the PIL and up to 3 target areas on the ATTY depending on weather and conditions.

The exploration crews are anticipated to arrive on the PIL Property in the coming week and the exploration programs are expected to extend into late August. Finlay will provide additional updates on the progress and results of the exploration programs as they become available in the coming months.

Finlay's President and CEO, Ilona Lindsay, states:

"The proposed exploration programs for 2025 will permit us to continue to advance these promising projects through systematic exploration," says Lindsay.

"We are excited to build on the successes of previous exploration campaigns, especially given the highly encouraging results seen at the PIL South and in the Wrich area.

Freeport's expertise and funding significantly enhances our ability to carry out systemic and comprehensive exploration across both properties. This is a transformative opportunity for Finlay Minerals."

PIL Property:

Exploration on the PIL Property will focus on the western Toodoggone porphyry corridor that includes Freeport and Amarc's newly discovered AuRORA Au-Cu porphyry system, Centerra Gold's Kemess North and Kemess East Deposits and the former Kemess South Mine – refer to Figure 1. Exploration will be prioritized at and around the PIL South Target, working on the theory that the major porphyry centres occur along northeast-southwest trends within this corridor. In 2024, drilling at PIL South intercepted Cu-Au porphyry mineralization. Other targets on the PIL Property include favorable geological, alteration, and surface geochemical environments with other porphyry indicators such as high-sulphidation systems.

Details of the PIL Property exploration targets can be found in the Company's PIL Technical Presentation on the Finlay website at www.finlayminerals.com.

ATTY Property:

Exploration work on the ATTY Property will focus on the Wrich target which is adjacent to the SWT target on the Joy Property. The SWT target hosts a >2 kilometre ("km") copper geochemical anomaly that is open to the south and extends onto the ATTY Property for another 1.2 km to the southeast.

Details of the ATTY Property exploration targets can be found in the Company's ATTY Technical Presentation on the Finlay website at www.finlayminerals.com.

Freeport negotiated Earn-In agreements on both the PIL and ATTY Properties whereby Freeport can earn an 80% interest in each property by spending $35 million in exploration expenditures and $4.1 million cash payments of over six years (Reference # 1). Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) is a leading international metals company focused on copper, with major operations in the Americas and Indonesia and significant reserves of copper, gold, and molybdenum.

BARRANCO GOLD DEFINES HIGH-PRIORITY TARGETS THROUGH SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY ON KING PROPERTY

https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/barranco-gold-defines-high-priority-targets-through-soil-geochemistry-on-king-property-884536158.html

News provided by Barranco Gold Mining Corp Jun 17, 2025, 16:24 ET

VANCOUVER, BC, June 17, 2025 /CNW/ - Barranco Gold Mining Corp. ("Barranco" or the "Company") (CSE: BAR) is pleased to announce that to date soil geochemistry results from its 100%-owned King Property have outlined multiple high-priority gold and copper anomalies, further validating the property's exploration potential. The King Property is located approximately 50 km south of Merritt, British Columbia, and consists of nine contiguous mineral claims totaling 3,456 hectares.

The map highlights the “Central Grid,” “East Grid,” and “South Grid” sampling areas. Zones with elevated gold concentrations (shown in red/pink). (CNW Group/Barranco Gold Mining Corp)



Map 2: Overview of soil sampling on the King Project by Barranco Gold Mining Corp. The map displays copper concentrations (Cu in ppm) across the “Central Grid,” “East Grid,” and “South Grid” survey areas. Elevated copper anomalies (shown in red/pink). (CNW Group/Barranco Gold Mining Corp)





The soil sampling program collected to date included three major grids: the Main, South, and East Grids. 726 soil samples were collected systematically and analyzed using ICP- MS following aqua regia digestion. Sampling was carried out on grid lines spaced 100 m apart, with samples taken every 50 m along each line. The results delineate multiple strong gold and copper anomalies aligned with regional structures and intrusive contacts.



Soil Sampling Highlights

Total samples: 726 soil samples collected
Grid parameters: 100 m line spacing, 50 m sample spacing
Gold anomalies: >100 ppb Au in Main and South Grids, with one 860 ppb
Copper anomalies: >200 ppm Cu
Anomalies may represent the interpreted northwest trending structures

The geochemical anomalies are spatially associated with fault zones and lithologic contacts between Osprey Lake Batholith rocks and quartz-feldspar porphyries of the Otter Intrusion. The data supports the presence of a hybrid porphyry-epithermal system, consistent with nearby productive mineral camps in southern British Columbia.

Next Steps

The Company will integrate soil anomalies with structural mapping and upcoming geophysical surveys to refine drill targets for Phase 2 exploration scheduled later in 2025.

Kodiak Begins 2025 Exploration Program at the MPD Copper-Gold Porphyry Project

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/255928

June 18, 2025 6:00 AM EDT | Source: Kodiak Copper Corp.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 18, 2025) - Kodiak Copper Corp. (TSXV: KDK) (OTCQB: KDKCF) (FSE: 5DD1) (the "Company" or "Kodiak") today reports that the Company has commenced its fully-funded 2025 exploration program at its 100% owned MPD copper-gold porphyry project in southern British Columbia. The program will include drilling to support resource definition, and field investigations to further assess known mineralized zones as well as priority exploration targets.

Highlights

Kodiak is drilling approximately 5,500 metres on three mineralized zones, West, Adit and South (Figures 1 & 2). A total of 39 drill holes are proposed.

Drilling is designed to support the resource estimation on these three mineralized zones, which will be completed in the fall, following receipt of assay results. Together with the soon-to-be-released resource estimate for the first four mineralized zones Gate, Ketchan, Man and Dillard, this will complete the initial resource estimate for the MPD project.

The drilling will be conducted using one diamond drill rig and one reverse circulation rig and will include the twinning of select historical drill holes as well as improving coverage in areas with lower drill density.

The 2025 program also includes geologic mapping and prospecting around the resource zones to prioritize areas for further infill and step-out drilling and support modelling.

Fieldwork will also evaluate select new target areas, including new VRIFY Areas of Interest and priority targets generated by Kodiak's 2024 exploration program. Figure 2

Claudia Tornquist, President and CEO of Kodiak said, "We are pleased to kick off this year's exploration program at MPD with an initial focus on the drilling required to support our maiden resource estimate. Additional field work in anticipation of the next round of drilling will prioritize targets that hold the potential to extend known mineralized zones as well as discover new ones. As we work toward our initial resource estimate -a key milestone and value catalyst for our company- we are well positioned to create exceptional value for our shareholders, in a copper market increasingly defined by looming supply shortages and the urgent need for new discoveries."

Fieldwork in 2025 will involve prospecting and geological mapping around known zones as well as new priority target areas, including new VRIFY Areas of Interest ("AOI") and anomalies identified by Kodiak's field program in 2024.

VRIFY AI has identified five new AOI's on the MPD Northwest claims which Kodiak acquired in 2024 (see news release September 16, 2024). Figures 2 & 3

One AOI is located adjacent to and could indicate an extension of the Ketchan zone, one of the zones which will be part of the initial resource estimate at MPD.

Four other AOIs are new priority areas associated with historically drilled mineralized target areas or mapped prospective geology.

The 3D-Induced Polarization ("3D-IP") survey conducted in 2024 identified several anomalies featuring large chargeability highs associated with a kilometre scale copper-in-soil anomaly at both the historically drilled Dillard East and Star target areas (see news release February 6, 2025) and will be further investigated through geological mapping and prospecting. Figures 2 & 4.

A high-resolution airborne LiDAR and orthophoto survey was flown over MPD earlier in June to assist with the geological mapping and interpretation of resource zones and support the evaluation of other targets.

Discovery Energy Metals to Acquire 100% of Crystal Lake Copper Property in British Columbia

--Historic magnetic survey in 2010 outlined ~2.3km diameter porphyry intrusion

https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/discovery-energy-metals-to-acquire-100-of-crystal-lake-copper-property-in-british-1040230

Tuesday, 17 June 2025 08:30 AM

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 17, 2025 / Discovery Energy Metals Corp. (CSE:DEMC)(OTCQB:DEMCF)(FRA:Q3Q0) ("Discovery" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") with Zimtu Capital Corp. ("Zimtu" or the "Vendor") to acquire a 100% interest in the Crystal Lake Copper Property ("Crystal Lake" or the "Property"), located in north-central British Columbia.

The Crystal Lake Copper Property is comprised of eight mineral claims totaling approximately 5,283 hectares and is situated 34 kilometres south of Fort Fraser, British Columbia.

Highlights

Excellent Location/Infrastructure: Road-accessible and located near key infrastructure, including a CN Rail Line, BC Hydro electrical transmission line, and a gas line along Highway 16 (Figure 1).

Exploration History: Early-stage exploration programs include a high-definition magnetic survey in 2009-2010 covering ~90% of the Property which outlined a magnetic high indicative of a porphyry intrusion (as confirmed by field observations) measuring ~2.3km in diameter2 (Figure 2).

Geological Potential: A copper-bearing diorite porphyry stockwork system associated with a regional fault structure and grab samples have returned up to 0.7% Cu, with elevated gold and silver values2.

Exploration Upside: Soil geochemistry confirmed a north-south copper anomaly, with alteration patterns consistent with the upper levels of a porphyry copper system. The main mineralized zone is likely preserved at depth, making the Project a compelling grassroots exploration target1.

"We are excited to secure the Crystal Lake Copper Property, which provides the Company with another promising grassroots copper opportunity," said Mike Hodge, CEO of Discovery. "We believe the combination of scale, geological setting, and highly valued inherited historical work makes this a strong candidate for future exploration success."

Property Overview

The Property is road accessible and located proximal to a CN Rail Line, BC Hydro main electrical transmission line, and a gas transmission line parallel to Highway 16 (Figure 1). Prince George, Fraser Lake, and Vanderhoof provide accommodations, food and mining exploration supplies for the Property.

Crystal Lake has undergone several early exploration programs over the recent years with the most notable being carried out by Entrée Gold in 2009-2010 where a high-definition helicopter-borne AeroTEM electromagnetic and magnetic geophysical survey was flown over ~90% of the Property which outlined a magnetic porphyry intrusion measuring ~2.3km in diameter2 (Figure 2). This work was followed up by Zimtu Capital Corp.'s geochemical sampling and petrography which was carried out between 2020-2024.

The region itself has had many significant discoveries in the past and hosts many developmental projects such as Artemis Gold's Blackwater Mine, located just ~50km to the Southwest. The Project itself remains largely underexplored, presenting significant upside potential for a grassroots discovery.

During the 2009-2010 Entrée Gold exploration programs, a zone of copper-bearing diorite porphyry stockwork was identified on the Crystal Lake Property, trending north-south from Holler Lake to Bennett Lake and associated with a regional fault structure and coincident with the magnetic anomaly. Geochemical results and Rb/Sr ratios suggest increasing potassic alteration along this trend, consistent with the upper levels of a porphyry copper system. High-grade grab samples from the Raven showing returned values up to 0.7% copper, with elevated gold (up to 57.3 ppb) and silver (>100 ppm)2.

Further south, around Veronica Lake, copper values ranging from 200 to 900 ppm are associated with propylitic alteration of the diorite. A small soil geochemical survey confirmed that B-horizon sampling is effective, highlighting a north-south copper anomaly that aligns with the structural trend2.

The Property came with a highly valued historic geophysical survey that covers ~90% of the Property. The geological framework paired with favourable geophysical responses identified by this survey indicates that the Property has high prospectivity for hosting a base and/or precious metals system4.

Figure 2: Localized map of Crystal Lake with Total Magnetic Intensity underlay from 2010 airborne geophysical program. (Red/Hot= Mag High, Blue/Cold=Mag Low) (Zimtu Capital, 2022).






Geological Overview

The Crystal Lake Property is located in a geologically complex region shaped by both tectonic activity and glaciation. The area is underlain by intrusive igneous rocks such as diorite and quartz diorite and is marked by a network of bedrock faults and joints, many of which are overprinted by glacial features. Extensive glaciation has left behind prominent landforms-including drumlinoid ridges and crag-and-tail features aligned with historic ice flow-along with till deposits and frost-heaved boulders. Structural geology is dominated by major lineaments and fault zones, including a northeast-trending fault north of the Property and a significant east-northeast fault scarp extending from Lily Pad Lake to Veronica Lake.

A regional magnetic high, interpreted as the signature of a porphyry intrusion, suggests the presence of an intermediate intrusive body and validates the area's potential for mineralization. Together, these geological features indicate a high prospectivity for mineral exploration on the Crystal Lake Property3.

Exploration at the Crystal Lake Property has identified copper-bearing mineralization hosted in diorite, spatially related to a north-south fault system extending from Holler Lake through Veronica Lake to the Raven Showing. Mineralization includes pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, malachite, azurite, and chalcocite, with magnetite pervasive in the hornblende-diorite host rock. At the Kingfisher showing, sulphides occur in sheared diorite layers dipping into the lake, while Veronica Lake features fracture-controlled stockwork veinlets and disseminated sulphides, with grab samples yielding up to 962 ppm Cu. The Raven Showing returned the highest copper values, with 7,577 ppm Cu from a mineralized quartz breccia hosting chalcocite and secondary copper minerals. Alteration is dominantly propylitic, marked by epidote, sericite, chlorite, and magnetite, consistent with porphyry-style systems2.

Historic exploration targeted porphyry copper-molybdenum potential, identifying a central magnetic high and high-grade copper-silver-gold samples at surface. The 2022 program aimed to verify past work, assess access, and map surficial geology, confirming mineralized diorite at key showings and supporting further exploration planning4

Star Copper Advances to Second Drill Target in BC's Golden Triangle

--Hole B (S_051) - 2nd of 6 - advancing steadily

https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/star-copper-advances-to-second-drill-target-in-bcs-golden-triangle-1040261

Tuesday, 17 June 2025 03:01 AM

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 17, 2025 / Star Copper Corp. (CSE:STCU)(OTCQB:STCUF)(FWB:SOP) ("Star Copper" or the "Company"), a critical mineral exploration and development company, is pleased to provide the latest update from the 2025 drill program at its 100% owned 6,829-hectare (~16,875 acre) flagship Star Project in the "Golden Triangle" of British Columbia. The fully funded campaign focus is on expanding the existing discovery at the Star Project, by increasing its knowledge regarding the Star Main, Star North and Star East prospects, as the results from ongoing fieldwork become available.

Campaign Strategy
The 2025 plan targets both the near-surface oxide zones, deep porphyry-style mineralization, and structures associated with the "Star Fault" and "Dick Creek Fault" with up to 4,000 meters amongst six primary drill holes (Holes A-F).

The Star Main discovery contains an extensive, near-surface, supergene zone, and the summer drill campaign, as described in a Company news release on May 27, is designed to test both the lateral and vertical continuity of mineralized zones previously identified from over $10 million in prior drilling and exploration campaigns. Star Copper aims to investigate beyond previously drilled depths where mineralization was present, but drill rig capacity was not, in addition to examining newly modelled magnetic and chargeability anomalies.

OPERATIONS
Star Copper Drillhole A (S_050), collared on the Star Main target, intersected a sequence of classic cal-alkalic porphyry mineralization that has been encountered in previous drilling. Porphyritic volcanic rocks were intersected by a quartz diorite intrusion between 43 and 85 metres. With an extensive database of historic drilling and understanding of this zone drill Hole A (S_050) has given the Company confirmation that we are in the right spot. The upper 56 metres of the hole define a well-developed supergene enrichment zone, characterized by pervasive copper oxide mineralization including malachite and azurite. Notably, a 9-metre fault gouge interval at the base of this zone returned elevated copper values based on portable XRF readings. (Refer to Figures 1 and 2.)

Figure 1 - Star Project Hole S_050 core at 26.2m. Star Copper Corp.









Figure 2 - Star Project Hole S_050 core at 40.2m. Star Copper Corp.









A determination to complete Hole A was made upon reaching a depth of 101m after encountering a swelling clay gouge within the Star Fault which made further drilling untenable at this location. The interpretation of alteration, and mineralization indicates Hole A (S_050) sits on the shoulder of a larger potassic core and successfully extends the supergene envelope at Star Main, providing a clear vector for deeper follow-up drilling.

Darryl Jones, Star Copper's CEO notes, "based on field measurements and observations, we believe we are drilling a very high-quality copper deposit. The field samples have been prepped for shipment to the lab, and we look forward to reviewing the results, which will be announced as soon as they are available.

Figure 4 - Star Project Hole S_051 overnight drill prep underway. Star Copper Corp.







Star Copper Drillhole B (S_051) activities were subsequently prioritized, approved and implemented. The drill contractor undertook to relocate to the second drill pad to commence operations at Hole B (S_051). The site is approximately 50m west of Hole A and by week end has already reached depths in excess of Hole A and is proceeding as planned. Hole B targets Supergene Copper and Gold mineralization of the Star Fault and the goal is twofold: 1) to confirm historic drilling undertaken by the previous operators (See link to historic drill table here), and 2) test the western extent of mineralization beneath the Star Fault at depth, with a ~40m step East from the end of the previously drilled S_040 hole which ended in 120m @ 0.36% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au1.

The overall conditions remain excellent, and the outlook ahead is outstanding," adds CEO Jones. "So far, the drill campaign has demonstrated collaborative, real-time decision making, as the whole team has thoughtfully and professionally advanced our project through technical and operational decisions in a timely manner without any negative impacts on momentum or budget over the past few days. We are very pleased that our ongoing efforts continue to produce intriguing data every day, which bodes well for the rest of the program ahead."

MARKETING UPDATE
Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce that it entered into an updated consulting services agreement dated effective as of June 16, 2025 (the "Agreement") with Upswitch Media Corp. ("Upswitch"), to provide the Company with certain marketing and investor relations services to expand awareness of the Company's business and to communicate with the investment community (the "Services").

Golden Cariboo Resources Update on PhotonAssayTM Orientation Study for Gold Analysis

https://thenewswire.com/press-releases/1AG9FEGx2-golden-cariboo-resources-update-on-photonassaytm-orientation-study-for-gold-analysis.html

June 17, 2025 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, Canada – Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF) (WKN:A402CQ) (FSE:3TZ) announces an update on its PhotonAssay™ orientation study, an advanced assay technology designed to deliver precise and efficient results for gold exploration. The Company has contracted ALS Canada Ltd. to conduct an orientation study utilizing innovative Chrysos PhotonAssayTM technology (“photon assay”) to analyze gold content in select rock and drill core samples from its Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property (the ”Property”), located approximately 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) northeast of Hixon, central British Columbia, Canada. This study, detailed in the April 29, 2025 News Release, is designed to evaluate the potential for better addressing the nugget effect, one of the most persistent challenges in precious metals exploration, while potentially improving assay turnaround times.

The ALS Canada Ltd. laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada have confirmed receipt of pulp and reject samples of the selected samples of drill hole QGQ24-20 which were prepared by their North Vancouver laboratory and from which earlier fire assay analysis reported 0.71 g/t gold with 6.96 g/t silver over 341.96 m (1121.9 ft) from 20.12 m (66.0 ft), including 0.99 g/t gold with 9.8 g/t silver over 236.88 m (777.2 ft) and 1.45 g/t gold with 16.05 g/t silver over 137.17 m (450.0 ft) (February 25, 2025 News Release). Additionally, with preparation now completed at the North Vancouver, BC laboratory, reject samples of drill hole QGQ24-21 are also enroute to the lab in Thunder Bay for photon assay prior to pulverizing the ~500 gram (1.1 pound) sample and completing a fire assay for gold on a 50 gram aliquot from the same sample. Drill hole QGQ24-21 reported multiple <1mm visible gold grains observed (April 17, 2025 News Release) and was the ninth consecutive hole with visible gold since the initial discovery of the Halo zone in July, 2024 (July 18, 2024 News Release). Ultimately, pending final results and overview, photon assay may replace fire assay as the main method for gold quantification in all future rock and core samples taken at the Property. ALS Canada's commitment for rapid processing and quality analysis ensures that results will be delivered promptly, and the Company looks forward to sharing these findings in the coming days.

"Golden Cariboo remains committed to employing innovative exploration techniques and appreciates the continued support of its shareholders," said Frank Callaghan, President and CEO of Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. "The upcoming results will provide valuable insights as we advance our exploration efforts at the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property."

Aeonian Resources Reports Highly Anomalous Copper Assay Results from Surface Sampling Program at Koocanusa Project, Southeast British Columbia

https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/aeonian-resources-reports-highly-anomalous-copper-assay-results-from-surface-samp-1039807

Monday, 16 June 2025 09:00 AM

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 16, 2025 / Aeonian Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:ALTN) ("Aeonian" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from its recent prospecting program at the 300 km² Koocanusa Project in southeastern British Columbia.

Rock sampling assays yielding up to 5,654 parts per million ("ppm") copper, 15 grams per tonne ("g/t") silver, and 379 ppm mercury from surface.

Results are highly anomalous for sediment-hosted copper systems within the Purcell Basin.

Multiple copper targets defined across a 20-kilometre ("km") trend in the east and 42 km trend in the west of the Property.

Adds to the current 1,158 historical rock samples recorded to date and serves to further strengthen the geological knowledge and scale potential.

These results will be integrated with the pending airborne EM geophysical survey interpretation expected in the coming weeks.

Rock samples collected from surface prospecting returned grades of up to 5,654 ppm copper (0.57% Cu), 6 g/t silver, and 379 ppm mercury. While these grades may appear modest compared to porphyry-style systems, they are highly anomalous within sediment-hosted copper environments. The Project is located within the Purcell Basin, a geologic setting that hosts several major stratiform copper-silver deposits, including Spar Lake, Montanore, and Rock Creek-currently being advanced by Hecla Mining Company (1). In such systems, relatively low-grade surface anomalies can indicate locations of the margins of more significant mineralized bodies at depth. Elevated mercury reported in the sample suite may indicate a proximity to redox boundaries, which can be key geochemical controls for copper deposition in these systems.

Sample 599683 (2), which returned the highest copper value of 5,654 ppm, was collected near the Frankie zone located on the eastern side of the Koocanusa Project. This area is underlain by Sheppard Formation rocks and forms a prospective portion of a northwest-southeast trending corridor of anomalous copper geochemistry extending over 20 kms. This area was originally discovered by the Aeonian team in 2018.

On the western side of the Property, exploration has been focused on the Creston Formation rocks, which are stratigraphically equivalent to the Revett Formation in Montana that host many of the region's most significant copper deposits. Aeonian has delineated multiple high-priority targets along a 42 km strike length along this area. Recent sampling has returned copper values of up to 2,248 ppm and silver up to 7 g/t, confirming widespread mineralization potential across several stratigraphic levels.





In total, 122 rock samples were collected during this recent program spanning across the 300 km² Koocanusa Project with assay grades ranging from trace to 5,654 ppm copper and up to 15 ppm silver. All samples were processed at the ISO-accredited SGS laboratory located in Burnaby, BC. These new results add to a growing historical database of 1,158 (3) rock samples collected across the property to date significantly enhancing the geological model and reinforcing Aeonian's understanding of the regional scale and robust nature of the mineralized system.

"We are very encouraged by these results," stated Andy Randell, CEO of Aeonian Resources. "They not only validate our sediment-hosted copper model but continues to demonstrate the scale and continuity of mineralization across multiple formations and structural domains. With the new EM geophysical data soon to be in hand, we're entering a highly strategic phase where integrated datasets will help us effectively refine and prioritize our next steps."

These encouraging results continue to vector exploration efforts toward copper-hosting lithologies and reinforces the district-scale potential of the project. The geochemical anomalies will be integrated with results from a high-resolution airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey conducted by Precision GeoSurveys in late May 2025. Interpretation of this geophysical dataset, once complete, will aid in prioritizing targets for detailed ground follow-up and drill planning.

Scottie Announces Selection of Tetra Tech to Lead PEA Study

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/255649/Scottie-Announces-Selection-of-Tetra-Tech-to-Lead-PEA-Study

June 16, 2025 7:30 AM EDT | Source: Scottie Resources Corp.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 16, 2025) - Scottie Resources Corp. (TSXV: SCOT) (OTCQB: SCTSF) (FSE: SR8) ("Scottie" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has selected Tetra Tech Inc. ("Tetra Tech") to lead the study work for a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") on its 100% owned Scottie Gold Mine Project, which includes the historic mine and adjacent Blueberry Contact Zone located in British Columbia's Golden Triangle mining jurisdiction.

The Company is targeting the completion of the PEA in Q4 2025. The PEA will investigate a high-margin DSO operation to deliver a gold concentrate to Asian copper/precious metals smelters. By design, the operation will eliminate the need for a gold processing plant and tailings facility, thereby significantly reducing the capital required and resulting in a minimal environmental footprint. The PEA will be based on the recently reported Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") of 703,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 6.1 g/t gold (see NR dated May 7, 2025). The project envisages a shallow open pit on the Blueberry Zone to start, followed by underground production from both Blueberry and the past-producing Scottie Gold Mine.

Sean Masse, COO of Scottie stated: "The selection of Tetra Tech as our PEA partner is a considerable step towards development. The PEA will allow us to clearly show the value of the deposits at the Scottie Gold Mine, and the minimal capital required to reach production. The pathway to production illustrated in our recently completed Regulatory Road Map clearly defines the necessary environmental considerations and permit requirements. The timelines for this mesh well with the necessary stages of engineering and technical studies required for production."

Additional Technical Studies

In conjunction with the initiation of the PEA study, Scottie has advanced additional studies on the project, including:

Initiation of Phase 2 - Ore Sorting Study
Initiation of a Dense Media Separation (DMS) Study
Completion of a Regulatory Road Map for Mine Permitting

Ore Sorting

The Phase 2 - Ore Sorting Study, led by ABH Engineering, is designed to follow up on the positive results from the previous PEA level study (see NR dated April 1, 2025). The Phase 2 test will consist of large three-stage cascade ore sorting tests on full scale XRF and XRT machines. The composite samples collected for these tests were designed to mirror the grades and mineralogy of zones in the Company's maiden resource estimate, with samples selected to represent the Blueberry open pit, Blueberry underground, and Scottie Gold Mine underground. The composite samples were created from ¼ core intervals taken from drill intercepts from the 2019-2024 drill programs. This phase of testing will help to determine the optimal sorting conditions suitable for production and will be suitable for a Feasibility level study. The samples have been shipped, and the tests are being done on full scale ore sorting machines based in Canada (XRT) and South Africa (XRF). Results are expected in early Q4 2025.

DMS testing

The DMS study is being completed by Sepro Systems ("Sepro") to assess the potential upgrade of the fines byproduct created due to onsite crushing before ore sorting. The initial scoping level test will use heavy liquid separation on ~20 kg samples to evaluate the effectiveness. Based on the strong associations between gold zones and sulphide minerals pyrrhotite and pyrite, favourable XRT results from the Phase 1 - Ore Sorting study, it is anticipated that DMS will prove to be a viable technique to further enhance the economics of the project. The composite sample has been created and shipped; the initial tests are expected to be completed in late Q3 2025.

Regulatory Road Map

To better understand the permitting pathways, timelines, and anticipated costs, Scottie engaged Falkirk Environmental Consultants ("Falkirk") to develop a Regulatory Road Map which was completed in May. The report provides a clear a pathway to production in as short as a 36-month timeframe and identified the critical risk factors and rate-limiting steps in the process. The company has developed a strategy and is commencing work on the critical path elements.

ABOUT SCOTTIE RESOURCES CORP.

Scottie owns a 100% interest in the Scottie Gold Mine Property which includes the Blueberry Contact Zone and the high-grade, past-producing Scottie Gold Mine. Scottie also owns 100% interest in the Georgia Project which contains the high-grade past-producing Georgia River Mine, as well as the Cambria Project properties and the Sulu and Tide North properties. Altogether Scottie Resources holds approximately 58,500 hectares of mineral claims in the Stewart Mining Camp in the Golden Triangle.

The Company's focus is on expanding the known mineralization around the past-producing mines while advancing near mine high-grade gold targets, with the purpose of delivering a potential resource.

All of the Company's properties are located in the area known as the Golden Triangle of British Columbia which is among the world's most prolific mineralized districts.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 13, 2025 / Kootenay Resources Inc. (TSXV:KTRI) (the "Company" or "Kootenay") is pleased to introduce its 100%-owned Sleeper-Magnificent-Knapp (SMK) Project, a large-scale, early-stage exploration property with significant discovery potential for gold, silver, and associated critical metals in central British Columbia. The project, located roughly 25 kilometers southwest of Fraser Lake, BC covers 3,6234 hectares of prospective ground and forms part of the Company's objective for the discovery of Tier One mineral deposits. The property is situated within the same mineral belt as other key projects in Kootenay's portfolio of high quality early-stage exploration properties.



Strategically positioned with road access, nearby power infrastructure, and proximity to resource-friendly communities, the SMK Property represents a compelling epithermal and porphyry exploration opportunity in one of Canada's most prospective yet underexplored mineral regions.

Kootenay continues to expand and define vein outcrops in two main mineralized trends at surface at SMK and is pursuing a dual target model. The vein systems, in conjunction with alteration zones mapped at surface are interpreted as upper-level extents of an intermediate-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver system with porphyry copper-gold potential at depth (click here to see an aerial map).



The project boasts high grade surface results today including assays ranging from below detection up to 25.99 g/t gold (Sample MK10-389, BC Assessment Report #32330) and 455 g/t silver (Sample SK21-134, BC Assessment Report #40117). Sampling to date defines two strong multi-kilometer trends for follow up.

Two major vein trends are identified by previous work, including:

Magnificent Vein Trend, 5 km x 2.2 km polymetallic corridor with extensive quartz veining, alteration, and trench/drill-ready targets.

Sleeper Vein Trend, a northeast-trending structure with strong gold-silver-lead anomalies, coincident with geophysical trends.



The project is road accessible and only 25 kilometers from the Company's exploration office at Fraser Lake.

"We're excited to formally introduce the SMK Project," said Dale Brittliffe, P.Geo, VP Exploration. "With significant surface results, large-scale untested structures, and proximity to infrastructure, SMK is preparing permit applications for trenching and first-pass drilling to unlock its discovery potential."


Kootenay Resources considers trenching and first-pass drilling essential to evaluate high-priority targets and assess potential porphyry feeder zones beneath the established epithermal system.

Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce that it intends to complete on a best efforts basis, a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $200,000. The Private Placement will consist of a combination of non-flow-through and flow-through common shares.

Under the Private Placement, the Company will offer, non-flow-through common shares of units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.06 per Unit and flow-through common shares of units of the Company (each, a "FT Unit") at a price of $0.075 per FT Unit , raising aggregate combined gross proceeds of up to $200,000. Proceeds received from the Private Placement will be used for the development of the Company's Moyie Anticline Project, other resource properties (eligible for "Canadian exploration expenses, which are flow-through mining expenditures) and general working capital requirements.

Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-Common Share purchase warrant of the Company ("Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.12 for a period of 5 years from the closing of the Private Placement.

Each FT Unit shall be comprised of one common share of the Company (a "FT Common Share") share (as defined under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and of one Non flow-through Common Share purchase warrant of the Company, (a "NFT Warrant"). Each NFT Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.15 for a period of 5 years from the closing of the Private Placement.

Proceeds received from this Private Placement will be used for the development of the Company's exploration projects (eligible for "Canadian exploration expenses, which are flow-through mining expenditures) and general working capital requirements.

The securities to be issued under the Private Placement will be offered by way of private placement in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Quebec, and such other jurisdictions as may be determined by the Company, in each case, pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws.

The Private Placement is anticipated to close on or before July 25, 2025, or as decided by the Company ("Closing") and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. The common shares to be issued under the Private Placement will have a hold period of four months and one day from Closing.

In connection with the Private Placement, arms-length finders may receive a cash fee in respect to their subscribers equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds.

Furthermore, the Company announces subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval the closing of its previously announced private placement (see news release dated October 17, 2024) for aggregate gross proceeds of $57,626. An aggregate total of 624,281 common shares will be issued and consist of:

Thursday, 12 June 2025 07:00 AM

WHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 12, 2025 / TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV:TDG)(OTCQX:TDGGF) (the "Company" or "TDG") is pleased to announce that its field team has mobilized and will shortly commence TDG's funded 2025 exploration program within the Company's expansive and 100%-owned Greater Shasta-Newberry ("GSN") Project (Figure 1) in the Toodoggone District of British Columbia (Figure 2).

Field activities will start with a combination of: (i) soil and rock geochemistry, (ii) Induced Polarisation ("IP") geophysics, (iii) Time-domain electromagnetic geophysics, (iv) ground based magnetic geophysics and, (v) detailed geological mapping (Figure 3), followed by drilling, with the objective of defining copper +/- gold drill targets. The initial focus will be on the area encompassing the Greater Shasta, Newberry and AuWEST areas and will then expand to cover key parts of the 12 kilometre ("km") structural corridor previously defined by TDG (news release Mar 03, 2025). This corridor hosts the Freeport-Amarc AuRORA1 discovery along with TDG's Trident target (news release Mar 07, 2024) and East Spur target (news release Mar 03, 2025).

HQ diamond drilling is expected to commence in mid-July with the first drillhole located less than 10 metres from the GSN-AuRORA1 boundary. A further two drillholes are expected to be drilled from the same pad in close proximity to the mineral tenure boundary and the AuRORA1discovery. Additional pads, drillholes and drill rigs are expected to be deployed based on results from the targeting studies as part of a proposed more extensive drill program at GSN and including additional targets prioritized within the 12 km structural corridor.

Steven Kramar, TDG's Vice President Exploration, commented: "TDG's planned field program this season represents a step change in our focus and coverage as we seek to evaluate and drill test a number of copper +/- gold porphyry opportunities on our side of the boundary of the AuRORA1 discovery, and beyond. Operations will be based out of our Baker camp located ~8 km by road from GSN. We are well-funded, and our camp is fully winterized - hence, we anticipate being able to operate through to the end of October and into November, if warranted."

VIZSLA COPPER ADVANCES THE M5 TARGET AT COPPERVIEW, CENTRAL BC: DEFINES A STRONG AND UNTESTED IP ANOMALY

https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/vizsla-copper-advances-the-m5-target-at-copperview-central-bc-defines-a-strong-and-untested-ip-anomaly-858858923.html

News provided by Vizsla Copper Corp. Jun 11, 2025, 08:00 ET

VANCOUVER, BC, June 11, 2025 /CNW/ - Vizsla Copper Corp. (TSXV: VCU) (OTCQB: VCUFF) (FRANKFURT: 97E0) ("Vizsla Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from a recently completed induced polarization (IP) survey across the M5 target at the Copperview project (the "Project" or "Copperview") in central British Columbia (Figure 1).

HIGHLIGHTS

New IP data enhances the M5 target: New chargeability and resistivity data demonstrate strong prospectivity for porphyry-related mineralization at Copperview.
Untested geophysical anomalies: Coincident chargeability, magnetic and AFMAG anomalies define the broad M5 target area which has never been drill tested.
Follow-up programs planned: The largely covered and concealed M5 target area will be the focus of upcoming soil geochemical surveys aimed at refining drill targets.

"We have now defined a broad 3.5 km2 chargeability anomaly at Copperview across a dominantly till-covered area which has never been drill tested," commented Steve Blower, Vice President of Exploration. "The presence of overlapping geophysical anomalies strongly supports the high-prospectivity for mineralization across this area. We will follow-up with soil geochemical surveys and continued mapping aimed at advancing M5 to drill ready stage."

The Copperview IP Survey

The grid-based IP survey across the M5 target consisted of over 20 line kilometers across seven east-west oriented lines spaced 300 meters apart (Figure 2). The survey was designed to characterize and detect subsurface sulfide mineralization associated with pronounced coincident geophysical (magnetic and MobileMT1) anomalies at the M5 target area (Figure 1). The IP survey expanded on the 2024 survey where two lines defined an open-ended, high-chargeability anomaly (see February 19th, 2025 news release).

The broadly northwest-southeast oriented >20 mv/v M5 chargeability-high anomaly spans 2.5 by 1.4 kilometers (Figure 2). The core of the chargeability-high anomaly is spatially associated with a strong conductivity-high (resistivity-low) anomaly observed in the ground IP data as well as the recently compiled MobileMT1 survey (see November 2nd, 2023 News Release). The intensity of the chargeability anomaly increases with depth (Figure 3)

The M5 target is along trend, 6.5 kilometers north of Kodiak Copper's Gate discovery2 (Figure 1). Porphyry-related copper and gold mineralization at the Gate discovery is spatially associated with a strong chargeability-high coincident with a similar break in the regional-scale magnetic-high lineament (Figure 1). The M5 target has never been drill tested.

Next Steps

This new chargeability and resistivity data supports the strong prospectivity of the dominantly till-covered area for concealed, porphyry-related mineralization. A grid-based soil geochemical survey covering the M5 target will commence in the coming weeks. Contingent on geochemical results, the M5 target may be drill tested later this year.

("Barranco" or the "Company") (CSE: BAR) is pleased to report results from its initial rock sampling program conducted at the 100%-owned King Property, located approximately 50 km south of Merritt, British Columbia, in the Quesnel Terrane. The King Property consists of nine contiguous mineral claims covering 3,456 hectares.

The Company's field team collected a total of 31 rock samples (grab and chip) from outcrops, float material, and altered zones across structurally controlled targets identified within the Main and Central Grid areas. Assays have returned encouraging gold values, with the highest result at 1.83 g/t gold, indicating a promising mineralized system.

Rock Sampling Highlights • 31 rock samples collected

Sample 906575 (grab): 1.83 g/t Au, 97 ppm cu, 131 ppm Zn
Sample 440683 (70 cm chip): 1.39 g/t Au, 118 ppm Cu
Additional samples showed elevated arsenic, antimony, zinc, and lead
Coordinates were recorded using handheld GPS units and archived in the GIS database
Assays performed at Activation Laboratories (ActLabs), Ancaster, Ontario, using fire assay (FA-AA) and ICP-OES

Geological Context
The King Property is underlain by multi-phase intrusive rocks of the Osprey Lake and Pennask Batholiths, intersected by quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes of the Otter Intrusion. Mineralization occurs along NE- and NW-trending fault zones and is interpreted to reflect a porphyry-epithermal hybrid system similar to other known deposits in southern British Columbia, such as Copper Mountain and Brenda Mine.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC)
Barranco followed a robust QA/QC protocol. Sample batches included blanks, field duplicates, and certified reference materials. All data was reviewed internally to verify laboratory accuracy. Sampling was conducted under supervision of experienced geological staff.

Qualified Person
The technical content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Derrick Strickland, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101. Mr. Strickland is independent of the Company and authored the NI 43-101 Technical Report on the King Property dated November 23, 2023.

Cautionary Statements
Grab samples are selective and may not be representative of the overall mineralization on the property. Geochemical and geophysical surveys are preliminary and do not confirm the presence of economically recoverable mineral resources

Next Steps
Barranco is currently integrating sampling results into a 3D geological model to prioritize targets for Phase 2 exploration. Upcoming activities are expected to include:

Expansion of soil grids • IP geophysics
Detailed structural mapping and trenching
Drill targeting in late 2025

Molten Metals Options Texas Property

https://thenewswire.com/press-releases/1LymF1QmP-molten-metals-options-texas-property.html

Vancouver, British Columbia / June 10, 2025 – TheNewswire - Molten Metals Corp. (the “Company” (CSE: MOLT; FSE:Y44), is pleased to announce that, subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “Exchange” the “CSE”), the Company has entered into a Property Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement” or the “Agreement”) with Troubadour Resources Inc. (“Troubadour”) for the right to acquire 100% of Troubadour’s Texas property (the “Property”).

The Property, consisting of eleven (11) tenures totalling approximately 3,216 hectares, is located 60 kilometres southeast of Kelowna, British Columbia and 3 kilometres west of Beaverdell, British Columbia, in close proximity to the past producing Beaverdell Mine that was in operation from 1896 to 1991.

CEO Rishi Kwatra commented, “MOLT is committed to the strategic expansion of its exploration portfolio, with a focus on assets exhibiting significant upside potential. We are rigorously evaluating opportunities to enhance shareholder value through disciplined investment in high-quality projects. The team is dedicated to executing our growth strategy and capitalizing on the promising prospects within our pipeline and we look forward to advancing the Texas Property along with the other properties in our portfolio.”

Numerous quartz ± sulphide (± carbonate) veins up to two metres thick have been identified at the Property with visible gold identified in multiple veins.

In general, the sulphide assemblage includes sphalerite, galena and pyrite, with subordinate chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite, and many veins have a strongly developed chlorite-carbonate-clay-iron oxide – silica alteration halo. The general trend of the veins is west-northwest – east-southeast, and steeply south dipping. The orientation of these mineralized veins, the mineral assemblage and associated alteration, are very similar to that described at the Highland Bell Mines and other mineralized occurrences from the Wallace Mountain (Beaverdell Mining Camp) immediately to the east of the Property.

Mineralized occurrences throughout the Property are interpreted to correspond to the polymetallic vein silver-lead-zinc-copper ± gold deposit profile.

Readers are cautioned that the geology of nearby properties are not necessarily indicative of the geology of the Company’s properties. Readers are further cautioned that the information provided has not been verified and is not being treated as current compliant information.

To earn 100% interest in the Property, the Company will issue 1,600,000 common shares (the “Shares”) to Troubadour within 10 days of receipt of approval from the Exchange (the “Effective Date”) and incur exploration expenditures on the Property in the following amounts:

a. $150,000 on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date;

b. $350,000 on or before the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date;

This Option Agreement will terminate at Troubadour’s discretion if the Company fails to incur exploration expenditures and issue the Shares to Troubadour as set out above or if CSE acceptance is not granted within 35 days of the Effective Date of the Transaction.

Taranis Issued Exploration Permit That Will Allow Efficient Drilling of Intrusive Target from Main Access Road at Thor

https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/taranis-issued-exploration-permit-that-will-allow-efficient-drilling-of-intrusive-1037132

Monday, 09 June 2025 01:52 PM

Exciting Developments at Thor

ESTES PARK, CO / ACCESS Newswire / June 9, 2025 / Taranis Resources Inc. ("Taranis" or the "Company") (TSX.V:TRO)(OTCQB:TNREF) is providing an update on exploration activities at Thor. These updates pertain to ongoing engineering work associated with Taranis' permitted 10,000t Bulk Sample, a Notice of Work ("NoW") permit associated with deep drilling of the I-1 and Z-900/1300 geophysical targets, and ongoing geological/geochemical exploration activity aimed at understanding the geology at Thor.

2025-01 NoW Permit Issued

Taranis acquired more property near the I-1 and Z-900-1300 exploration targets after 2024 diamond drilling revealed intrusive rocks and widespread propylitic alteration associated with a suspected deeply buried intrusive body named I-1. The analysis of 2024 exploration data suggested drilling from Thor's main access road was much preferable to drilling from the top of Broadview Mountain. The new NoW Permit (2025-01) which was issued on June 5, 2025 has a duration of 5 years and will allow this drilling to take place from the main access road

10,000t Bulk Sample Update

Novus Engineering ("Novus") is nearing completion of an Operating Expenditure ("OPEX") and Capital Expenditure ("CAPEX") assessment for the permitted Bulk Sample at Thor. Gekko Systems (Ballarat, Australia) and other B.C-based engineering/contracting firms were engaged by Novus to provide budgetary cost estimates for construction and operation of the plant. The 10,000t Bulk Sample will provide crucial hard data related to the range of possible metallurgical recoveries of both precious and critical minerals from the Thor deposit using onsite gravity pre-concentration. The Thor deposit contains many valuable critical minerals, including but not restricted to: copper, indium, zinc, and antimony, in addition to the valuable precious metals (silver and gold) found in the epithermal deposit.

Novus has also contacted the Ministry of Critical Minerals in Cranbrook ("MCM") to provide an initial review of the Bulk Sampling project, and to help coordinate consultation moving forward with First Nations and local communities. Similarly, in light of the substantial financial commitment required to undertake the bulk sampling project and prior experiences with the ministry, Taranis wrote the Honourable Jagrup Brar, Minister of MCM in March of 2025, asking government to advise if it has any inherent concerns or reservations with a mineral development project at our Trout Lake location proceeding to a full mining operation. To date Taranis has not received any response indicating any such concern.

Site Specific and Regional Exploration

Taranis has been investigating a number of exploration undertakings that could provide added value to the Thor deposit. Most conventional porphyry exploration programs are undertaken in the interior of British Columbia where the porphyry deposits themselves are hosted within volcanic rocks. At Thor, Taranis has found evidence of an underlying intrusive that is hosted within a series of much older metasedimentary and metavolcaniclastic rocks. Classic volcanic-hosted porphyry alteration models and their affiliated mineralogy differ significantly from the geologic environment found at Thor. Evidence of this can be seen at the nearby Max-molybdenum porphyry deposit where hydrothermal alteration associated with a Cretaceous-age porphyry body is developed entirely within metasedimentary rocks described as ‘skarn' that includes garnet, diopside and other minerals formed in the host rocks. Taranis has been able to document the presence of a large propylitic alteration shell at Thor that will be drill-tested using the new NoW permit, and drilling has also indicated the presence of an inner phyllic and potassic alteration assemblage.

The Company is planning to undertake systematic X-Ray Fluorescence ("XRF") studies on the existing drill core at Thor that will enable it to further quantify alteration both in the epithermal deposit and in the underlying intrusive rocks. XRF could aid in understanding the link between the existing near surface epithermal deposit and the underlying I-1 and Z-900/1300 targets. This program will also include systematic photography of all of the old drill core, and the movement of the drill core from the property to a storage facility in order to advance development of the bulk sampling plant.

Qualified Person

Exploration activities at Thor were overseen by John Gardiner (P. Geo.), who is a Qualified Person under the meaning of Canadian National Instrument 43-101. John Gardiner is the principal of John J. Gardiner & Associates, LLC which operates in British Columbia under Firm Permit Number 1002256. Mr. Gardiner is the President and CEO of Taranis Resources inc. and has reviewed and approved the comments contained within this News Release.

Taranis currently has 100,348,854 shares issued and outstanding (113,827,227 shares on a fully-diluted basis).

Nicola Mining Receives Multi-Year Area Based Exploration Permit for Its Mine-Permitted Treasure Mountain Silver Project

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/254869/Nicola-Mining-Receives-MultiYear-Area-Based-Exploration-Permit-for-Its-MinePermitted-Treasure-Mountain-Silver-Project

June 09, 2025 9:51 AM EDT | Source: Nicola Mining Inc.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 9, 2025) - Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) (FSE: HLIA) (the "Company" or "Nicola") is pleased to announce that it has received a multi-year area-based exploration permit, Permit Number MX-15-121 (the "MYAB Permit") on June 4th, 2025. The MYAB Permit allows Nicola to conduct extensive exploration on its wholly owned Treasure Mountain Silver Project1 (the "Treasure Mountain"), a fully permitted silver mine (Permit 239) located 30 km northeast of Hope and about a 3-hour drive from Vancouver, British Columbia (Fig. 1).

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/4873/254869_f589e05a049e09e2_001full.jpg

Receipt of the MYAB Permit, follows the Company's August 30th, 2024, announcement that it had received a ten-year mining lease extension (the "Extension") for Treasure Mountain2 under its M-239 permit. The Extension is valid through April 26, 2032, and receipt of the MYAB Permit positions the Company to leverage both mining and exploration options.

Treasure Mountain consists of an historic underground silver mine with a resource estimate in accordance with CIM definition standards3 and exploration upside to the north and west of the historic mine. The MB Zone is approximately 800 m northwest of the current mine workings on undrilled northern flank of the mountain. The Cal Vein was discovered at this location in 2010 and return a surface sample grading as high as 9,221g/t Ag, 1.02% Cu, 1.14% Pb and 1.03% Zn4. Subsequent soil sampling was conducted in 2011/2012 and 2013 with encouraging results.5 Small exploration programs conducted between 2019 and 2021 on the northwestern side of the mountain included soil sampling, rock sampling, mapping, and shallow drilling campaigns. These programs successfully identified a 2 km soil anomaly which appears to be related to a vein system of roughly the same strike length. Drill testing of the exposed vein confirmed continuity of mineralization coincidental with the soil anomaly.6

The MYAB Permit allows the Company to carry out the following exploration activities over the next five years in the areas shown below (Fig. 2):

30 drill holes
1,400 m of trenching



4,500 m of trail building
20 km of geophysical surveys with exposed electrodes

Figure 2. Site map with MYAB Permit boundaries

Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola Mining Inc., commented, "Receipt of the MYAB under Permit Number MX-15-121 coupled with our recently received ten-year mine life extension under Permit M-239, puts Nicola into an envious position as the confluence of mine and exploration potential brings forth a project that most investors have forgotten. Bolstered by solid silver prices and with permits in hand, we are very excited about its potential and look forward to exploring our Treasure Mountain Project for the first time in over a decade"

Tudor Gold Announces Binding Letter of Intent to Acquire American Creek

Tudor expects to increase interest in the Treaty Creek Project to 80%

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/254901/Tudor-Gold-Announces-Binding-Letter-of-Intent-to-Acquire-American-Creek

June 09, 2025 10:15 AM EDT | Source: Tudor Gold Corp.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 9, 2025) - Tudor Gold Corp. (TSXV: TUD) (FSE: H56) ("Tudor") and American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF) ("American Creek") are pleased to announce that they have entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") on June 6, 2025 pursuant to which Tudor will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares (the "American Creek Shares") of American Creek by way of a plan of arrangement (the "Transaction"). Currently, American Creek holds a 20% carried interest, and Tudor a 60% interest, in the Treaty Creek Project located in northwest British Columbia. On completion of the Transaction, Tudor will hold an 80% interest in the Treaty Creek Project. The Treaty Creek Project hosts the Goldstorm Deposit, comprising a large gold-copper porphyry system, as well as several other mineralized zones.

Under the terms of the Transaction, American Creek shareholders will receive 0.238 shares ("Tudor Shares") in the capital of Tudor for each American Creek Share (the "Exchange Ratio"). This implies premiums of 40% and 37% offered to American Creek shareholders based on the spot and 5-day VWAP of both companies as of market close on June 6, 2025. Following completion of the transaction, existing American Creek shareholders will own approximately 30% of the combined company resulting from the Transaction.

The LOI provides for the parties to enter into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") setting out the final terms and conditions of the Transaction. Upon execution of the Arrangement Agreement, Tudor and American Creek will issue a subsequent news release containing the details of the Arrangement Agreement and any additional terms of the Transaction.

Joe Ovsenek, President and CEO of Tudor Gold, commented: "Our acquisition of American Creek cements our interest in the Treaty Creek Project, which hosts one of the largest gold discoveries in Canada with excellent potential for expansion and additional gold-copper discoveries, at a reasonable per ounce of gold equivalent cost. With an increased ownership of the Treaty Creek Project, Tudor is better positioned to attract a wider range of potential investors to the developing story of this high-quality gold-copper asset. We welcome the American Creek shareholders to Tudor as we continue to strengthen the company to build on our exploration success and advance Treaty Creek on the path toward production."

Darren Blaney, President and CEO of American Creek, commented: "We are very pleased to enter into this Letter of Intent with Tudor. We believe that this amalgamation transaction unlocks significant advantages for our shareholders that have been part of the Treaty Creek project for many years. The most notable advantage for American Creek shareholders is that they will receive a 40% premium to the present market price of their shares and still retain the full future upside potential as the Treaty Creek project advances. We also believe that through the consolidation of our two companies that operating costs will be more efficient and Tudor will be better positioned to secure future exploration and development capital. The consolidated 80% ownership also makes it much more likely that Tudor is able to attract a potential strategic partner to assist in accelerating project development towards production, while at the same time increasing Tudor's attractiveness with respect to becoming a potential takeover target by a larger developer. This is the most logical next step in ensuring that the Treaty Creek project moves forward, and provides additional value to our loyal shareholders. The Treaty Creek project is a world class gold-copper project and we very much look forward to joining with and supporting Tudor in their focused drive to take this project to the next level."

Eskay Mining 2025 Exploration Campaign Begins Later This Month

https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/eskay-mining-2025-exploration-campaign-begins-later-this-month-1036200

Friday, 06 June 2025 07:30 AM

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / June 6, 2025 / Eskay Mining Corp. ("Eskay" or the "Company") (TSXV:ESK)(OTC PINK:ESKYF) (Frankfurt:KN7) (WKN: AOYDPM) is pleased to announce Eskay's prospecting team will be on the ground later this month to explore the extent of the high-grade veins as well as the length of the overall mineralized trend discovered last season at the C10- Vermillion-Ted Morris (TM), trend situated in the southern portion of the Company's 100% controlled Consolidated Eskay project.

Mac Balkam C.E.O. & President commented "Last year's high-grade assays of as much as 205 g/t of gold, collected from outcroppings veins occurring along the 4km of the C-10 -Vermillion-Ted Morris (TM) belt, represents an exciting new discovery on our Consolidated Eskay project. Our 2025 goal is simple…… put some size to this trend and develop a drill strategy to test it's potential. We believe a well-targeted late season drill program will show that this is a significant new discovery "

In early July, Eskay's team will focus on the highest potential drill target, along a 210 m. zone where high grade samples were collected at Vermillion in 2024. The goal will be to expand the overall length of the strike of this zone and identify potential drill sites for late 2025. The Ted Morris and Big Red Zone located approximately 2km east of Vermillion returned rock chip assays of over 200 g/t gold in 2024. This area is considered a second high-quality target for drilling. The team will determine to what extent Vermillion and TM zones are connected and if the trend extends westward to Red Lightening.

Balkam speaking about this possibility said, "We are confident the Vermillion trend will prove to be an important gold discovery and are intrigued with the potential for this zone to become much larger. This area is a mere 9 km to the west of Newmont's Valley of the Kings - Brucejack Mine, making this discovery all the more exciting. "

Extensive Property Claims Spanning over 4,000 Ha. – Broad exposure highly prospective Antimony and Tungsten projects and underexplored territory situated in a leading Canadian jurisdiction.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Maxus Mining Inc. (“Maxus” or the “Company”) (CSE: MAXM | FRA: R7V), is pleased to announce it has entered into a Property Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with two (2) optionors (the “Optionors”) to acquire a 100% interest in one tungsten & three antimony exploration properties, located in British Columbia which cover 4,122 hectares in total (the “Project” or the “Properties”). The antimony projects, Quarry, Hurley & Altura cover approximately 3,700 hectares of terrain and the Lotto Tungsten Project covers 422 hectares.

Scott Walters, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "We are excited to announce the strategic acquisition of four new Projects, focusing on identifying antimony and tungsten. By diversifying our portfolio to include minerals essential for emerging technologies and the future of energy, we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on these evolving markets. Looking ahead, we are eager to drive advancements at our newly acquired Projects and eagerly anticipate the opportunities they will present to our shareholders."

Quarry Antinomy Project Highlights

The Quarry property is exposed in a limestone rock quarry located on the north side of Osilinka River, between Tenakhi and Wasi creeks, about 46 kilometres northwest of the community of Germansen Landing. At the
showing, recrystallized and dolomitized limestones of the Neoproterozoic Ingenika Group host mineralized quartz veins. Minerals identified include sphalerite, galena, cerussite, chalcopyrite, boulangerite, malachite, azurite and possibly stibnite. The Quarry showing is exposed in a limestone rock quarry and consists of the mineral’s sphalerite, galena, cerussite, chalcopyrite, boulangerite, malachite, azurite, and stibnite. One sample in 1991 assayed 20% Sb, 0.89 gram/tonne Ag, 3.8% Cu, 42.5% lPb, and 0.65 gram/tonne Au.1

Additionally, grab samples retrieved in 1954 yielded assays which averaged 83.5% Pb and 1576 g/t Ag.1 The site offers reliable, year-round access providing support for ongoing exploration initiatives. The region is underlain by the Neoproterozoic Ingenika Group and Paleozoic rocks of the Big Creek, Otter Lakes, Atan, Razorback and Echo Lake groups.




Figure 1 – Maxus Mining Quarry Antimony Property

Lotto Tungsten Project Highlights

The Lotto Tungsten Project (“Lotto”) lies within the Kootenay region and Trail Creek Mining Division of British Columbia, a prolific mineral district known for its resource potential and well-developed infrastructure that support sustained exploration activity. Lotto is located 19 km west-southwest of Castlegar on the Crowsnest Highway and consists of 426 hectares. Lotto contains the Lotto 3 showing which consists of scheelite (tungsten mineral) mineralization within a 9-meter-wide quartz vein exposed along a highway roadcut. Disseminated scheelite occurs in quartz veins just northwest of the main showing and in several places west of the highway.2

A selected grab sample taken in 1980 from a quartz vein with scheelite assayed 10.97% Wo3. Furthermore, in 2006, Astral Mining Corporation conducted a helicopter-borne geophysical (electromagnetic survey on the area as part of the JJ property) which showed the area is underlain by Paleozoic argillaceous quartzites and argillites which may be part of the Lower Jurassic Rossland Group. These metamorphosed sediments have been intruded by the Middle to late Jurassic Nelson Intrusions, comprised mainly of granite and granodiorite, and then later by Middle Eocene Coryell Intrusion syenite and associated dykes.2




Figure 2 – Maxus Mining Lotto Tungsten Property

Hurley Antimony Project Highlights

The Hurley Antimony Project (“Hurley”) is located 7 kilometres south-east of the village of Gold Bridge, and 10 kilometres east of the historic Bralorne-Pioneer Gold Mining Camp which has produced over 4 million ounces of gold. Soil and vegetation sampling indicate there is a strong positive geochemical correlation in the soil samples between gold and associated elements silver (+0.69), As (+0.86) and Sb (+0.84).7

The adjacent Reliance Gold Project reported intervals that include 19.2% Sb and 2.16 g/t Au over 0.5m encountered during 2024 drilling campaign. A total of 199 gold assay composites were re-calculated to include antimony results from the 108 DDH, 84 RC, and 24 roadcut channels completed by the Company which has resulted in a composite average sampled length of 10.1 metres and weighted average grade of 4.55 gpt, 0.20% antimony, and 4.97 gpt AuEQ.8

The eastern area is underlain by undivided sedimentary rocks of the Cayoosh Assemblage which is of Jurassic to Cretaceous Age as well as marine and sedimentary rocks of the Bridge River Complex of Middle Mississippian to Middle Jurassic Age. The Cayoosh Assemblage and the Bridge River Complex are separated by northwest-trending fault-contacts. The western property is underlain by marine and sedimentary rocks of the Bridge River Complex.

Hurley is to the immediate south of a gold-antimony past producer named the Mary Mac Main Zone (“Mary Mac”) and a developed gold - antimony advanced prospect. The host rocks are highly similar as those on the Hurley property. Mary Mac produced four (4) tonnes of stibnite/day with the grade being 20% over 2.1 meters and reserves of 13.6 to 18.1 thousand tonnes. Indicated reserves for the Mary Mac Main Zone reported to be 78,500 tonnes at 2.9 grams/tonne gold and the North Zone it was 39,200 tonnes at 2.3 grams/tonne gold.7

Mary Mac South Zone mineralization consists of globular stibnite (antimony host material) and pyrite. Where ore-reserves calculated in 1983 are 27,300 tonnes at 8.18 grams/tonne gold. Gray Rock, a past producer, occurs to immediate west of southern boundary and reportedly contains 70,488 tonnes of proven, probable, and possible reserves grading 3% Sb, 2.1% Pb, and 342.8 grams/tonne Ag. The trend appears to trend onto Hurley, where past work identified rock, soil, and silt samples within the center of the property anomalous in antimony, gold, and silver. Additionally, three (3) antimony veins occur within the western part of Hurley. The southwestern part of Stibnite Prospect appears to occur within the western area and consists of 25-centimeter-wide veins in 60-meter-long shears grading an average 8.9 % antimony.7




Figure 3 – Maxus Mining Hurley Antimony Property

Altura Antimony Project Highlights

The Altura Antimony Project is positioned on the western area of Dolly Varden Mountain, roughly 29 kilometres northeast of New Denver, British Columbia – an area recognized for its strong antimony mineral potential. The property consists of a persistent quartz vein carrying disseminated pyrite and argentiferous tetrahedrite and minor stibnite and chalcopyrite. The vein strikes east, dipping 55 degrees north. It is 0.6 to 3.6 meters thick and has been traced for 600 meters.3

A 4 kg sample of material selected from the dump assayed 1.3 grams per ton gold and 1596 grams per ton silver. There is little geological information on the occurrence, however the 1928 Minister of Mines Annual Report describes a 1.2m quartz vein which carries disseminated to massive stibnite hosted in (or associated with) serpentinite ultramafic rock locally altered to listwanite quartz-carbonate-mariposite.3

The extension claim is on strike from Equinox Resources Inc.’s recent antimony discovery as announced on November 8, 2024, which saw ultra-high grade naturally occurring antimony at their Alturas Project, with assays up to 69.98% Sb.4

https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/thesis-gold-announces-2025-exploration-program-and-mobilizes-crews-to-lawyers-ranch-project-815487495.html

News provided by Thesis Gold Inc. Jun 05, 2025, 06:30 ET

VANCOUVER, BC, June 5, 2025 /CNW/ - Thesis Gold Inc. ("Thesis" or the "Company") (TSXV: TAU) (WKN: A3EP87) (OTCQX: THSGF) is pleased to announce the mobilization of crews for the 2025 exploration season at its 100%-owned Lawyers-Ranch Project, located in British Columbia's prolific Toodoggone Mining District. The Company is advancing work toward a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), targeted for release in Q4-2025. This season's program will lay critical groundwork for future engineering studies, with geological efforts focused on defining the project's broader potential. Concurrently, engineering and environmental initiatives will continue to de-risk the project ahead of the Environmental Assessment (EA) process, anticipated to begin in the second half of 2025.

2025 Program Highlights



Geological work:
10,000+ metres (m) of drilling will be split between resource expansion and testing undrilled prospects at Ranch.
A portion of this season's drill program will be directed toward follow-up drilling at the Ring zone, a discovery made in 2024 (see November 13th, 2024 news release entitled "Thesis Gold makes new near-surface discovery at the Ring zone).
Resource expansion drilling will target the Bingo and Steve zones, where the technical team sees significant upside to help unlock broader project-scale potential.
Thesis will test several new targets for near-surface epithermal-style mineralization while also advancing its understanding of deeper porphyry potential, as highlighted by geological, geochemical, and geophysical anomalies. The Toodoggone District remains significantly underexplored for porphyry systems, and this season's program will include drilling at multiple high-potential porphyry centers identified across the project area.
Thesis has contracted Simcoe Geoscience to conduct a 3D induced polarization (IP) survey. These data will be utilized in drill targeting later this season.
During the latter part of the summer, field crews will mobilize to the Company's satellite claim blocks, the North and East claims, to build on a successful preliminary mapping and prospecting program from 2024.
Engineering work:
5,000 m of multipurpose geotechnical drilling will provide preliminary information to allow the company to move swiftly from the 2025 PFS to further engineering studies in 2026.
Drilling aimed at characterizing the structural integrity of rock both within the resource and in the conceptual pit walls will support important project design criteria including pit slopes, underground mine geotech, and estimates for mine/pit inflow.
Additional metallurgical studies at both Ranch and Lawyers will help further classify rock comminution characteristics and optimize the processing flowsheet.
Additional geochemical sampling will go towards further classifying the acid-base conditions of mineralized and waste material.
Environmental studies:
The required two years of baseline data collection at Lawyers is complete, with ongoing studies focused on monitoring and upkeep.
Ranch is in the final months of baseline data collection. Biologists and hydrogeologists will be on-site this summer to continue characterizing the project's aquatic, terrestrial, geochemical, and meteorological components.

Dr. Ewan Webster, President and CEO, commented, "We are excited to launch the 2025 exploration season at our Lawyers-Ranch Project. Building on the momentum of previous years, this season's comprehensive geological, engineering, and environmental programs are focused on continued project de-risking and value creation. With over 15,000 metres of drilling planned, our objectives are to expand known resources, test high-priority new epithermal and porphyry targets, and support long-term development. Concurrent engineering and environmental baseline work will continue to underpin future technical studies and advance the environmental assessment process. These efforts reflect our commitment to efficiently advancing the Lawyers-Ranch Project as a premier precious metals asset."

The Lawyers-Ranch project offers significant exploration potential, with over 20 undrilled gold showings and numerous areas identified with promising geological, geochemical, and geophysical anomalies. This year, the Company plans to focus on anomalies within the Ranch project area that show promise for future discoveries (Figure 1). Throughout the winter, the technical team has been leveraging a robust geochemical and geophysical dataset to highlight a prospective corridor between Ring, Steve, Mandusa, and Golden Furlong at the Ranch area. The exploration potential in this region is twofold, as Thesis aims to leverage the opportunity for additional discoveries of shallow epithermal-style mineralization that have the potential to further unlock clues about the porphyry potential below the Ranch lithocap, with some deeper holes testing favorable structures and intersecting anomalies (Figure 2).

Dr. Evan Orovan, Chief Geologist, commented, "I am excited to get to the Lawyers-Ranch Project this summer to contextualize this winter's desktop work with some boots-on-the-ground geology. Drawing from my global experience in porphyry-epithermal systems, I expect to learn a lot from this summer's exploration program and our new targets at Ranch."

To date, Thesis has made significant progress in de-risking the Lawyers-Ranch Project. The upcoming PFS, targeted for release in Q4 2025, builds on the strong results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) announced on September 5, 2024, which outlined an after-tax NPV5% of C$1.28 billion, a 35.2% IRR, and a 2.0-year payback period. Part of this summer's objective is to initiate key data collection to support a Feasibility-level engineering study, planned to commence immediately following the completion of the PFS.

Environmental baseline studies are critical to understanding site-specific conditions prior to project development. These studies require a minimum of two years of data collection covering air, water, soil, and biological resources. Once complete, ongoing monitoring ensures that the established baseline can inform accurate environmental modeling and support the EA process expected to kick off in H2 2025. This summer, biologists will complete the final months of baseline data collection at Ranch and continue monitoring efforts at both Ranch and Lawyers.

Quality Assurance and Control
Samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). The sampling program was undertaken by Company personnel under the direction of Andrew Turner, P.Geol. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic emission spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+10 g/t Au). Drill intervals with visible gold were assayed using metallic screening.

Omega Pacific Outlines 2025 Exploration Program in the Revitalized Toodoggone District

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/254429/Omega-Pacific-Outlines-2025-Exploration-Program-in-the-Revitalized-Toodoggone-District

June 04, 2025 9:10 AM EDT | Source: Omega Pacific Resources Inc.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 4, 2025) - Omega Pacific Resources Ltd. (CSE: OMGA) ("Omega Pacific" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its 2025 exploration strategy for the Williams Property, located in British Columbia's Toodoggone District. The Toodoggone is re-emerging as an important gold and copper-gold district, where several exciting mineral discoveries have recently been made, including Omega Pacific's 2024 gold discovery. In 2025, the District is experiencing a surge of exploration. Over $50 million in exploration and development programs are expected, driven by strategic investments from major mining companies and capital markets participants. Omega Pacific's 2025 exploration program will build on the success of its 2024 gold discovery on the GIC Target at Williams. The program is expected to include drilling, mapping & sampling to extend GIC both east and west, growing the prospective target over 12 km including recently staked and acquired claims.

2024 EXPLORATION HIGHLIGHTS

The 2024 Williams exploration program delivered encouraging results. Two of the four drill holes returned bulk tonnage gold intercepts and high-grade intervals such as:

1.69 g/t Au over 104 m including 6.22 g/t Au over 18.98 m (WM24-01); and,
2.16 g/t Au over 96.9 m including 4.16 g/t Au over 10.5 m (WM22-02 ext.).

The combined dataset of recent and historical exploration supports the thesis that GIC hosts a robust, bulk tonnage epithermal gold system with associated high-grade gold zones. All four 2024 drill holes intersected gold mineralization in multiple zones and mineralization is open in all directions, including to surface.

2025 EXPLORATION PLANS

Within the broad 12 km wide GIC Target, Omega Pacific will focus on expanding mineralization on an immediate east-west target area measuring approximately 1,400 x 400 m (Figure 1). This target is bordered by known mineralization in both directions - 600 metres east of the 2024 drilling, historical hole WM22-03 interested 4.64 g/t Au over 8 m. Up to 800 metres to the west of the 2024 drill locations, historical surface soil sampling returned 4-12 g/t Au (see October 16, 2024 news release). The 2025 drilling will also seek to extend mineralization north and to surface, where historical mechanical trenching samples returned up to 5 g/t Au, upslope and 300 metres north of 2024's drill locations (Figure 2).

"We are excited to launch the most impactful exploration program at GIC to date," said Jason Leikam, CEO of Omega Pacific. "We intend to advance the high potential gold target at GIC as rapidly as possible. The next step will be to expand known gold mineralization with the intention of validating the multi-million-ounce potential at GIC, where we have a long list of priority targets. We are well-positioned to build on our 2024 discovery and create lasting value for our shareholders."

2025 Exploration Program Objectives:

Initial 2,500 metres diamond core drilling at GIC;
Priority objective to expand mineralization along strike and to surface, with shallower holes than executed in 2024;
Pending results, the Company will expand the drilling to +/-5,000 metres, subject to financing; and
Surface mapping and sampling on claims acquired and staked in 2024. These new claims are contained within the GIC 12 km long geophysical target.

About the GIC Target
The GIC Prospect represents a 12 km long target with overlapping gold-copper rock and soil anomalism, magnetic trends and chargeability/resistivity anomalies from induced-polarization (IP) geophysical surveys. This area is highlighted by the "Park Gossan" and occurs proximal to the contact between volcanic and intrusive rocks, and large-scale faults all of which are critical to mineralization elsewhere in the Toodoggone District.

Silicon Metals Commences 2025 Field Work and Reports High Purity Results

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/254397/Silicon-Metals-Corp.-Commences-2025-Field-Work-and-Reports-High-Purity-Results

June 04, 2025 5:00 AM EDT | Source: Silicon Metals Corp.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 4, 2025) - SILICON METALS CORP. (CSE: SI) (FSE: X6U) (OTC Pink: SLCNF) ("Silicon Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the start of fieldwork at its Ptarmigan Project (the "Project" or the "Property), located ~130 km from Prince George, BC, following promising Q4 2024 high-purity sampling results.

The Company recently completed a high-definition airborne LiDAR survey, conducted by McElhanney Ltd., to generate a 3D topographic model of the Property. This will support modeling of the high-purity quartzite formations, which appear as prominent northwest-southeast trending ridges.

In late 2024, 225 samples (184 quartzite and 41 country rock) were collected and analyzed by Bureau Veritas. Results showed:

48% of quartzite samples exceeded 99% SiO2

8% exceeded 99.9% SiO2

Average purity: 98.49% SiO2

Main impurities included Al2O3 (0.84%), Fe2O3 (0.33%), K2O (0.17%), and TiO2 (0.10%). Samples were prepared using ceramic pulverisers and analyzed via XRF fusion to minimize contamination, though some metal traces from tools are expected. The reader is cautioned that grab samples are selected samples and may not represent true underlying mineralization.

COO Raymond Wladichuk, stated: "We're excited to build on 2024's success. With a stronger technical team and strategic plan, we're ready to advance the Ptarmigan Project."

Procedures

Rock grab, chip, and channel samples were collected from in-situ outcrops. Channel samples were cut using a handheld masonry saw with a diamond blade and were collected in 2 meter intervals for a total of 24 meters across two separate channel cuts. Chip samples were taken from an exposed bluff in a quarry and were collected in 5 meter intervals for a total of 30 contiguous meters. Samples were placed in poly ore bags with unique sample IDs and sealed with zip ties. Rock descriptions, sample location, and sample details were recorded for each sample. Samples were shipped to Bureau Veritas labs in Vancouver, BC, an independent certified laboratory, via Bandstra Transportation Systems; in-house chain of custody and sample security measures were implemented for all sample shipments. Samples were crushed until 70% passed through 10 mesh and a further 250 grams was pulverized (PRP70-250). Pulverized material was analyzed via X-ray fluorescence on a fused disc with Si02 detection limits of 0.01%
