Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2025) - Canadian Critical Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CCMI) (OTCQB: RIINF) ("CCMI" or the "Company") is pleased to report revenues for the Company from the sale of stockpiled copper, gold and silver mineralized material at the Bull River Mine ("BRM") project near Cranbrook, BC. During the month of February 2025, the Company trucked 542 dry metric tonnes ("dmt") of sorted mineralized material to New Afton and the Company received a provisional payment of approximately USD$185,000 for the February 2025 shipments. The mineralized material sent to New Afton graded 4.71% Cu, 0.78 g/t Au and 47.8 g/t Ag.

The Company introduced a second sorting crew during the month and sent more material to New Afton in February 2025 relative to the previous two months. The sorter was shut down for annual maintenance in the last week of February 2025. To-date the Company has sent six trucks of pre-concentrated mineralized material to New Afton in March 2025. The Company will not be shipping material to New Afton for the balance of March 2025 due to the imposition of spring road restrictions on unpaved off roads in southern British Columbia. During road restrictions the carrier is restricted to 70% of the total weight of the tractor trailer and truck box which effectively reduces the pay load to 50% of normal. In lieu of hauling mineralized material during road restrictions, the Company has elected to continue sorting material at the mine and resume trucking in early to mid-April 2025 once road restrictions have been removed.

Ian Berzins, President and CEO of CCMI commented, "Road restrictions have been implemented approximately two weeks later than in the spring of 2024 and we are optimistic that the total length of time for road restrictions in 2025 will be less than in 2024. In the interim period, we will continue to sort a high-grade pre-concentrate product and plan to send to New Afton once restrictions are removed."

Highlights:

American Eagle completes its 100% earn-in at the NAK Copper Gold Porphyry Project ("NAK"), 85 km northeast of Smithers, BC.

NAK stands out among Canadian copper-gold porphyries with its combination of large scale, near-surface high grades, accessibility, favorable topography, and growth potential.

Highlighted drill results include 248 meters of 1.10% CuEq (NAK24-31) and 302 meters of 1.09% CuEq (NAK24-17)

~$37 million in cash with two major mining companies as strategic investors – South32 & Teck Resources Limited ("Teck")

30,000 metre drill program is scheduled to begin in May and the Company is funded for an ambitious multiyear drill program

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2025) - American Eagle Gold Corp. (TSXV: AE) (OTCQB: AMEGF) ("American Eagle" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has fulfilled all obligations under its December 24, 2021, option agreement and has acquired 100% ownership of the NAK Copper-Gold Porphyry Project.

Securing full ownership of NAK marks a major milestone, reinforcing American Eagle's commitment to advancing this high-quality asset. Located in a prolific mining region, NAK has already delivered some of British Columbia's top drill results, including 248m @ 1.10% CuEq and 302m @ 1.09% CuEq, starting at 132m and 167m, respectively. The project hosts a large-scale porphyry system with multiple near-1 km intercepts averaging ~0.5% CuEq, highlighting its significant resource potential.

With over 80% of NAK's prospective ground still untested, a 30,000m drill program set for 2025, and with South32 and Teck as strategic investors, American Eagle is well-positioned to unlock substantial value. The Company remains fully funded with ~$37 million in cash to execute an aggressive, multiyear exploration strategy.

As part of the final option payment, American Eagle has issued 1,000,000 common shares to Bernie Kreft and completed all required cash and work commitments to secure full title to the project.

"American Eagle Gold sincerely thanks Bernie Kreft for his invaluable partnership over the past three years. Bernie secured NAK and recognized the project's potential long before our involvement. Alongside the late Gary Artmont, he was instrumental in introducing the project to American Eagle and helping define the initial drill targets—setting the stage for our success. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Mr. Kreft on NAK and exploring future opportunities together," states American Eagle Gold CEO, Anthony Moreau.

American Eagle's 2025 Exploration Plans and Focus:

Near Surface Mineralization

A primary objective for 2025 is to further define and expand near-surface mineralization further, enhancing the project's economic potential. NAK offers a rare combination of geological and geographical advantages that American Eagle will leverage. Unlike many other porphyry prospects, the NAK Project benefits from road access, gentle topography, low elevation, and proximity to infrastructure. High-grade copper and gold mineralization has already been identified at surface, with significant potential for additional discoveries across the property.

Key Targets Within the Main Zones

North Zone:

Historically defined by near-surface vein and disseminated chalcopyrite mineralization in sedimentary rocks.

Expanded in 2022–2023 to include deeper bornite-rich conglomerate and monzonite dykes.

2024 drilling extended the zone northeast, encountering broad intervals of seriate-textured dykes with disseminated bornite.

The Northeast Expansion Zone will be an immediate and large focus to expand the North Zone, which remains open to the north, east and at depth, with step-out drilling planned to refine its orientation and extent.

Central Zone:

The Central Zone links the historical North and South zones. It returned significant intercepts at depth in all of American Eagle's 2022-24 drilling, but little systematic drilling has been undertaken to date at shallower depths, up-dip of those intersections.

South Zone:

Hosts a large-scale gold-rich quartz stockwork mineralized body at surface.

Drilling aims to link the mineralized conglomerate intersected in NAK24-17 and -31 with the broader South Zone.

Step-Out Targets and Emerging Zones

The Southeast Expansion Zone, south of the Babine porphyry, returned long intervals of anomalous gold and copper in NAK22-09 and -36. Soil anomalies and mineralized outcrops located in the area indicate further potential.

The East Expansion Zone will utilize additional geophysical surveys to refine targets within and around the Babine porphyry, with scout drilling planned to test these areas.

Exploration Beyond Drilling

The 2025 program will incorporate several non-drilling initiatives that will enhance the project.

Geophysics: Aeromagnetic surveying and Controlled-Source Audio Magnetotellurics (CSAMT) to refine targets in underexplored areas north, south, and east of the Babine Stock.

Metallurgical Studies: Testing targeted drill core to assess recovery characteristics across different mineralization styles.

Core Retrieval: Historical drill core (predating American Eagle Gold) for drill holes with significant shallow Main Zone intersections is stored on the NAK property and appears to be in good shape. The Company will relog and resample this core to incorporate it into its model.

Timber Harvesting: Collaborating with local logging groups and the Lake Babine First Nation to manage previously permitted logging blocks, improving access to remote parts of the property.

Commitment to Community and Sustainability

American Eagle is committed to strong relationships with local stakeholders, including the Lake Babine Nation, provincial authorities, and local contractors. The Company prioritizes transparent communication and collaboration as exploration advances.

About American Eagle's NAK Project

The NAK Project lies within the Babine copper-gold porphyry district of central British Columbia. It has excellent infrastructure through all-season roads and is close to the towns of Smithers, Houston, and Burns Lake, B.C., which lie along a major rail line and Provincial Highway 16. Historical drilling and geophysical, geological, and geochemical work at NAK, which began in the 1960's, tested only to shallow depths. Still, the work revealed a very large near-surface copper-gold system that measures over 1.5 km x 1.5 km. Drilling completed by American Eagle in 2022, 2023, and 2024 returned significant intervals of high-grade copper-gold mineralization that reached beyond and much deeper than the historical drilling, indicating that zones of near-surface and deeper mineralization, locally with considerably higher grades, exist within the broader NAK property mineralizing system.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 12, 2025) - Nicola Mining Inc. (TSXV: NIM) (FSE: HLIA) (OTCQB: HUSIF), (the "Company" or "Nicola") is pleased to announce that it has received the Final Permit ("Final Permit1") to complete a bulk sample2 at its Dominion Creek Mineral Project ("Dominion"), a high grade gold and silver project, of which Nicola owns a 75% economic interest.

The Notice of Work for the Dominion Mineral project was initially filed with the Chief Permitting Officer on Aug 29, 2018 and last updated on Feb 27, 2025. The Final Permit allows Nicola and its partner, High Range Exploration Ltd., to complete a bulk sample prior to Feb 27, 2030, after which only reclamation activities can occur. In addition to the Final Pemit, a Free Use Permit (MX-100000488) was issued to upgrade / complete a short haul road for ore transportation.

The Company announced on March 6, 2025 that it has been issued a draft permit by the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals to extract 10,000 tonnes of gold and silver ore at Dominion, which is located 43 kilometers northeast of the Town of Wells and approximately 110 kilometers east-southeast of Prince George.

The two parties are currently in the process of finalizing plans to mobilize and commence ore extraction, which is anticipated to commence in July 2025.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has closed a non-brokered private placement which was announced on February 25, 2025. The news release announced a non-brokered private placement consisting of up to 7,142,857 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.28 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000. However, given the Company's cash and equivalent position, it was determined that the smaller and less dilutive amount was sufficient.

The Company issued 4,038,955 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,130,907.40 and paid $63,827.36 in finder's fees for net proceeds of $1,067,080.00. The financing is now closed, and the Company will not be seeking additional funds associated with the current financing.

GSP Defines New Porphyry Copper Drill Targets and Prepares to Submit Drill Permit Application for Mer Property

Historic exploration work discovered shallow copper mineralization

Historic shallow drilling included 30m averaging 0.53% Cu and 21m averaging 0.51% Cu

High priority for follow up exploration during upcoming field season

https://thenewswire.com/press-releases/1Bb4F9N8E-gsp-defines-new-porphyry-copper-drill-targets-and-prepares-to-submit-drill-permit-application-for-mer-property.html

News Release - Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - March 13, 2025: GSP Resource Corp. (TSX-V: GSPR / FSE: 0YD / OTC: GSRCF) (the “Company” or “GSP”) announces that it is nearing completion of a draft 5-year multi-year area based (MYAB) permit application in preparation for submission to the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Metals (“BC MMCM”) and review by relevant First Nation’s groups with respect to the Mer Property in the Highland Valley Copper Camp of British Columbia.

The Mer Property comprises 185 hectares in the Kamloops Mining Division, located approximately 1.5 km NW of GSP’s Alwin Mine Project and are surrounded by Teck Resource’s Highland Valley Copper claim group directly west and south of the Highland Valley Copper Mine’s active operations1 (Figure 1). The Mer Property hosts a copper exploration target zone located NW of the Company’s Alwin Mine High grade copper-silver-gold target zone.

The permit application is expected to describe the details of an initial year-one diamond drilling program, followed by permitting of sufficient surface disturbance to support anticipated expansion diamond drilling within the following four years of the permit. The Property is well accessed via existing logging roads that traverse the proposed drilling area where prior logging activities and excavator trenching has exposed a zone of copper mineralization at surface (Figure 2).

About the Mer Claims:

The Mer Claims were the subject of intensive exploration by the Cleveland Ming & Smelting Co. Ltd. between the years 1965 and 1971. During that time exploration within the current Mer and surrounding claims now held by Teck Highland Valley Copper Corporation comprised geochemical and IP/resistivity geophysical surveys, geologic mapping, bulldozer trenching, completion of 16 percussion drill holes totaling 610 metres (m), and a single 150 m diamond drill hole targeting the Mer showing.

Percussion and diamond drilling were reported to define a 70 x 120 metre northeast trending porphyry copper-molybdenum zone characterized by disseminated chalcocite, chalcopyrite, bornite and molybdenite mineralization and associated biotite and sparse potassic alteration.

At the Mer showing, historical percussion drill holes 1, 3, 15, and 16, forming a 70 x 40 m diamond pattern in plan returned values of 9 m averaging 0.47% copper (Cu); 30 m averaging 0.53% Cu; 15 m averaging 0.50% Cu; and 21 m averaging 0.51% Cu2 respectively, commencing at downhole depths ranging from 6 to 18 m.

A single diamond drill hole was centered on the percussion drill holes and intersected a zone of chalcocite mineralization within biotite and potassic altered granodiorite intrusive rocks averaging 0.29% Cu over 24 m from a downhole depth of 9 m. The zone of mineralization remains open to the north and west.

No significant exploration has been reported within this project since the initial work programs ending in the early 1970’s. Given the presence of drill confirmed porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralization, a location 6 kilometers west of the Valley Pit at Teck Resource Limited’s Highland Valley Copper Operations, and its position with the Chataway and Guichon granodiorite phases of the Guichon Batholith the Mer Project is a high priority for follow up exploration.

Taranis Identifies Widescale Geochemical Zonation Characteristic of an Intrusive over the I-1 & Z-900/1300 Geophysical Targets

https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/taranis-identifies-widescale-geochemical-zonation-characteristic-of-an-intrusive-o-998669

Tuesday, 11 March 2025 01:51 PM

Getting Ready for Drilling!

ESTES PARK, CO / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2025 / Taranis Resources Inc. ("Taranis" or the "Company") (TSX.V:TRO)(OTCQB:TNREF) is providing the third in a series of News Releases that detail exploration for a deep, underlying mineralized intrusive body at Thor. Taranis completed comprehensive geochemical studies of drill core using Gresens method. This method quantifies metasomatism (hydrothermal alteration) and the changes to the rock using immobile elements, typically rare earth elements. Intrusive bodies invoke widespread chemical changes in the host rocks that extend hundreds of meters around the intrusive body. As such, geochemical alteration studies are important guides to targeting a potentially mineralized intrusive body not exposed at surface. This News Release accompanies a schematic cross-section through the area that shows the alteration features in conjunction to the Z-900/1300 and I-1 geophysical targets.

Barren Host Rocks at Thor (Non-Altered)

Most of the host rocks at Thor are barren of mineralization, and consist of metagreywackes and metavolcaniclastics of regional greenschist metamorphic grade. These rocks were analyzed to establish baseline geochemistry for the rocks distal to the mineralized area at Thor. They contain on average: 70.7% SiO2, 1.8% Na2O, 1.3% CaO, 2.5% K2O, 0.07% P2O5, 1.5% MgO and no graphite.

Altered Host Rocks

Weak to Distal Alteration of Host Rocks (Sericitization) - Some of the effects of alteration in metasediments and metavolcaniclastics are the introduction of small amounts of cesium, tin, niobium and tantalum. P2O5 is also introduced into the rock where it is weakly altered. Na2O and CaO is depleted relative to the unaltered rocks, and this is indicative that these rocks have sericitic alteration. The weakly sericitized rocks contain small amounts of graphite (<0.5%).

Intense Alteration of Host Rocks (Intense Sericitization) - Host rocks more proximal to the I-1 and Z-900/1300 Target are intensely altered and start to exhibit widespread introduction of low-levels of zinc and lead, P2O5 and niobium. Highly-altered rocks show depletion of Na2O and CaO. Many of the other trace metals such as arsenic, nickel, copper, barium and tungsten are depleted. These rocks contain <0.5% carbon as graphite.

Bomb Unit (Carbonatization, Sericitization) - This unit was evaluated with a deep drill hole (Thor-242) as it forms a major geophysical feature at Thor, and occurs at a depth of 500m below the surface. The Bomb Unit is suspected to be an alteration halo around a deep-seated intrusive (I-1). These rocks are intensely altered and contain pyritic clasts. Its most distinctive feature is the amount of graphitic carbon (average of 4.43%) which explains the conductive nature of the unit. It is depleted in SiO2, MgO, Na2O, CaO, K2O and barium, but also contains anomalous lead, zinc, copper, cobalt, nickel and antimony suggesting connection to the I-1 Intrusive.

Intrusive and Contact-Related Rocks

I-2 "Dyke" Intrusive Rocks (Chloritization & Albitization) - These rocks included a series of units that are related to two linear magnetic highs that trend NNW across the property. The presence of magnetite makes this unit easily identifiable on magnetic surveys. This intrusive unit is zoned from intrusive breccia in the center, to albite-grossular-andradite, and finally into massive chlorite along the edges of the dyke. The core of the dyke is enriched in strontium, vanadium, chromium, niobium, zinc, nickel, cobalt and copper. I-2 is also enriched in P2O5, MgO, Na2O and Fe2O3, all diagnostic of the mafic composition of the unit. I-2does not contain any gold or arsenic (or metals contained in the Thor epithermal deposit), and it is very depleted in barium.

I-1 Intrusive Related Rocks (Carbonatization & Albitization) - The I-1 intrusive-related rocks are found below and east of the I-2 Intrusive in the bottom of drill holes Thor-246, 247 and 248. I-1 is anomalous in the same metals found in I-2, but is also enriched in carbonate (CaCO3), P2O5, CaO, MgO, Fe2O3 and Na2O. Most important, it has highly anomalous boron, gold, zinc, arsenic and tungsten.

Widescale Strontium and Barium Zonation

The alteration study of the deep drilling has shown that strontium occurs in elevated concentration around, and within the I-1 and I-2 intrusive rocks. Strontium has the most persistent and widescale alteration pattern found in the mass balance modeling. Strontium becomes more enriched with depth (getting closer to the concealed I-1 intrusive body) and an analogous situation is documented at the Lornex Copper Mine in British Columbia. Conversely, barium is very depleted within and around the I-1 and I-2 intrusive features, and this is consistent with what has been seen in other porphyry deposits in British Columbia (Valley Copper).

Comment

John Gardiner, President and CEO of Taranis comments "Thor is a different animal than other intrusive-hosted ore deposits in British Columbia because it is not hosted within volcanic rocks. The intrusive part is totally concealed, and the alteration system has restricted spatial extent due to the presence of non-porous metasedimentary/metavolcaniclastic rocks encasing the intrusive target. The rocks encountered in the 2024 drilling at Thor exposed four types of alteration including sericitization, chloritization, carbonatization and albitization. A fifth type of alteration (silicification accompanying sericitization) is widespread throughout the epithermal deposit. The presence of a circular resistive body (I-1) under the epithermal deposit that is interpreted to be an intrusive is consistent with the geochemical alteration patterns. Since I-2 has intruded and disrupted the epithermal deposit at Thor, it indicates I-1 was the important event that formed the epithermal deposit at Thor. The presence of garnet, albite, amphiboles and pyroxenes are indicative the host rocks have been exposed to contact-metamorphic alteration. Looking forward, we have some particularly good geochemical data that can be used in conjunction with the geophysical survey program plan for the summer of 2025. Most importantly, we have removed the land constraints around the eastern side of the Thor project area which will enable us to put this data to work to find the source of the Thor mineralization".




About Taranis and Thor

Taranis Resources is a Canadian mineral exploration company. The Thor Project is in southeast British Columbia. Taranis has completed upwards of 250 drill holes, linking all previously known mines into a single, near-surface epithermal deposit that has been recently updated into an NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (see Taranis News Release dated April 11, 2024). In the summer of 2024, Taranis initiated deep drilling aimed at finding the source of the 2 km long epithermal deposit.

Quality Control and Laboratory Methods

All samples for the Thor project were securely delivered to Actlabs in Kamloops, British Columbia. Analytical work was completed both at the Kamloops and Ancaster, Ontario locations. Actlabs is ISO 17025 accredited. Taranis completed two types of geochemical analysis on the drill core.

The first of these was for major oxide geochemistry and quantitative graphite and carbonate determinations. This sampling was completed systematically on drill holes to determine alteration of rock units. Major oxides and trace elements were determined by lithium metaborate/tetraborate fusion and analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma ("ICP"), Optical Emission Spectrometry ("OES") and Mass Spectrometry ("MS"). Graphite and Carbonate determinations were made using Infrared ("IR") Spectrometry.

Secondly, visibly (or potentially mineralized sections of core) were systematically sampled after sawing the core in half onsite. Samples were analyzed for 42 elements by 4-Acid Digestion / Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry ("ICP-MS") and for gold by 30g Fire Assay / Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry ("AAS"). Where overlimit values were encountered in the analysis of these samples, ore-grade' determinations were made using subsequent ICP analysis and gravimetric methods. As a Quality Control ("QC") measure, Taranis also submitted analytical standards into the sample stream every tenth sample in addition to the laboratory's own quality control methods.

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 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).

Geologica Announces Anomalous Gold Zone at Lincoln

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/244058/Geologica-Announces-Anomalous-Gold-Zone-at-Lincoln

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 11, 2025) - Geologica Resource Corp. (CSE: GRCM) (FSE: 862) ("Geologica" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from its 2024 soil sampling program identifying anomalous gold and pathfinder values at the Lincoln Creek Property in northwestern British Columbia. The property lies within the Atlin Gold Camp, northeast of Surprise Lake.



[Figure 1: map showing a north-northeast trending gold-pathfinder anomaly defined by Au, Ag, As, and Bi values. The anomaly directly overlies the predicted 2019 SGH gold target.]

In 2016, lode gold mineralization was discovered in bedrock beneath placer workings at nearby Otter Creek (Mihalynuk et al., 2017) southwest of Lincoln. Several years after these workings were backfilled, a Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbon ("SGH") soil survey was conducted over the area. The survey successfully identified the known gold occurrences beneath the cover, validating SGH as an exploration tool in the district.

At Lincoln Creek, a single SGH survey line completed in 2019 identified a potential gold target spanning 750 meters in length. The target area is located east and uphill of Lincoln Creek. ActLabs rated its gold signature at 4.0 out of 6.0, comparable to values obtained over known gold mineralization at Otter Creek.

In September 2024, the Company conducted a soil sampling survey across the SGH anomaly. Given that historical placer drilling shows till depths exceed 30 meters in this area (Kierans, 1985), samples were analyzed at ALS Laboratories using their super-trace gold package (AuME-ST43) to detect subtle geochemical signatures through the deep overburden.

Results from the sampling program show a north-northeast trending (020°) gold-pathfinder anomaly overlying the SGH anomaly. Gold values along this trend range from 0.3 to 296 ppb Au. The gold value of 296 ppb in soils is unexpectedly high and requires further investigation. The anomalous zone also shows consistently elevated levels of silver, arsenic, bismuth, mercury, and thallium. The anomaly remains open along trend to both the southwest and northeast.

Doug Unwin CEO stated, "the team is very enthusiastic about these results as they came in better than expected confirming the previous SGH results, demonstrating the 750 metre gold target is open to the northeast and southwest."

Additional sampling is planned to verify these encouraging results, including both infill sampling and extension of coverage along the open trends.

Geologica's board of directors has approved the issuance of 1,500,000 options to directors and 125,000 options to consultants. Each option may be exercised for $0.05 to purchase a common share of the Company. The options expire 5 years from the date of issue. The options are subject to the Company's stock option plan and will have a legend restricting the sale of shares issued on exercise of the Options of four months and a day.

March 11, 2025 08:00 ET | Source: TORR Metals, Inc.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – Torr Metals Inc. (“Torr” or the "Company") (TSX-V: TMET.V) is pleased to announce the signing of an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”), subject to TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) approval, to acquire 100% of the 57 km² Bertha Property (“Bertha”); contiguous to the northern portion of the Kolos Project (the “Project”). In addition, Torr has expanded its land position through strategic claim staking of 35 km² of highly prospective ground surrounding Bertha, bringing the newly acquired area under 100% Torr ownership with no underlying royalties (Figure 1).

The Bertha Property hosts nine significant copper and gold occurrences along an epithermal and porphyry trend extending northwest from Torr’s newly defined Sonic Zone (see January 14, 2025 news release). Despite its strong copper (Cu) and gold (Au) potential, the Bertha area has remained largely underexplored, with no systematic regional exploration, having only been consolidated into a single property in late 2024. Through this acquisition and claim staking the Kolos Project now covers 332 km² along Highways 5 and 97C, strategically located 24 kilometers (km) east of Canada’s largest open-pit copper mine at Highland Valley and 27 km south of the high-grade New Afton copper-gold mine near Kamloops (Figure 1).

Highlights:

High-Grade Copper in Outcrop with Drill Permit

A 7 km² drill-permitted area covers the Bertha, JHC, and Rhyolite occurrences, where historical rock grab samples have returned up to 8.48% copper (Cu) in outcrop, historical reports indicate multiple zones of copper mineralization exposed in trenching over widths up to 7.6 meters (m) covered by only ~465 meters (m) of undocumented historical drilling (Figure 1).

The Bertha, JHC, and Rhyolite occurrences are situated along the margins of a northwest-trending highly magnetic geophysical anomaly, exhibiting a signature consistent with diorite and monzodiorite intrusions that host Cu-Au mineralization at the Sonic, Rea, Lodi, and Kirby alkalic porphyry exploration targets.

Untested Epithermal Gold-Silver Potential

Select historical results from the Plug occurrence include 1.30 g/t Au over 9.91 m from just 3 m depth in drilling, as well as 20.78 g/t Au and 113 g/t Ag over 0.56 m from trenching. At Meadow Creek, located ~1.5 km to the southeast of Plug, trenching returned 2.24 g/t Au and 400.6 g/t Ag over 4.44 m, as well as 6.24 g/t Au and 1715 g/t Ag over 0.36 m located proximal to pyritic feldspar porphyry intrusions trending southeast towards the Sonic Zone porphyry target (Figure 1). With evidence for both high-grade and bulk-tonnage potential, only 545.6 m of recorded historical drilling has been conducted on the Plug and Meadow occurrences to-date.

Only minimal historical drilling and trenching have tested the high-grade epithermal gold-silver targets at the Plug and Meadow Creek occurrences, associated with a linear low magnetic geophysical trend that extends for >5 km along a northwest trend between the Sonic Zone and Bertha-JHC-Rhyolite occurrences.

"The addition of the Bertha Property significantly enhances the Kolos Project by adding nine new high-grade copper and gold occurrences, with porphyry and epithermal potential, that remains largely untested," stated Malcolm Dorsey, President and CEO of Torr Metals. "With a drill permit in-hand covering key targets at Bertha we now have the ability to rapidly advance exploration and unlock the potential of this underexplored area. This acquisition not only increases the scale of our project to 332 km² within a prolific mining district, but it also positions us for a targeted 2025 drill program that will be instrumental in defining potentially new significant copper-gold discoveries in southern British Columbia. Additionally, we have received our water permit for the southern targets, consisting of the Kirby, Lodi, Ace, Rea, and Clapperton occurrences, an essential milestone and precursor to what we anticipate as the near-term approval of a drill permit for these high-priority targets. With multiple large-scale exploration targets now permitted or nearing permit approval, shareholders can look forward to a transformational year ahead as we take significant steps toward unlocking the full potential of Kolos."

Bertha Option Agreement Transaction Details

Torr has entered into a property option agreement (the “Bertha Property Option Agreement”) to acquire a 100% interest in a series of mineral claims located in the province of British Columbia referred to as the “Bertha Property” (Figure 1), subject to a 2% net smelter return.

Pursuant to the terms of the Bertha Property Option Agreement, Torr has the right to earn a 100% ownership interest in the Bertha Property as follows:

Pay $5,000 to the Property Owner upon signing of the Option Agreement (complete);
Within three months of TSXV approval issue 100,000 common shares and pay cash $20,000 to the property owners;
By December 31, 2025 complete $50,000 of expenditures on the Bertha Property;
On the 1st anniversary of the approval date, issue 200,000 common shares and pay cash $25,000 to the property owners, and complete a minimum of $125,000 of expenditures on the Bertha Property;
On the 2nd anniversary of the approval date, issue 200,000 common shares and pay cash $75,000 to the property owners, and complete a minimum of $250,000 of expenditures on the Bertha Property;
On the 3rd anniversary of the approval date, issue 400,000 common shares and pay cash $125,000 to the property owners, and complete a minimum of $500,000 of expenditures on the Bertha Property;

The Bertha Property net smelter return may be bought down by the Company at any time by 1% with a cash payment of $1,000,000 (CDN).

Quality Assurance and Control

Results from samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 accredited facility). A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. At ALS the samples were digested using Aqua Regia and analyzed via ICP-MS and ICP-AES using a 25g sample aliquot under the ALS code AuME-TL43. The Company follows industry standard procedures for the work carried out on the Kolos Project. Due to the reconnaissance nature of the soil sampling the Company relied on the internal quality assurance quality control (“QA/QC”) measures of ALS. Torr Metals detected no significant QA/QC issues during review of the data.

March 06, 2025 9:00 AM EST | Source: Nicola Mining Inc.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 6, 2025) - Nicola Mining Inc. (TSXV: NIM) (FSE: HLIA) (OTCQB: HUSIF) (the "Company" or "Nicola") is pleased to announce that it has received the draft bulk sample permit1 ("Draft Permit") for its Dominion Creek Mineral Project ("Dominion"), a high grade gold and silver project, of which Nicola owns a 75% economic interest.

The draft permit, issued by the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals, outlines the regulatory framework to extract 10,000 tonnes of gold and silver ore at Dominion, which is located 43 kilometers northeast of the Town of Wells and approximately 110 kilometers east-southeast of Prince George.

As announced in its August 3, 2023, news release, Nicola conducted due diligence, which included a site visit and sampling. Results from a 9.7 kg sample of outcropping sulfide mineralization taken from the Number 16 Vein returned 62.1 g/t Au, 320 g/t Ag, 23.4% Pb, and 12.4% Zn. Additionally, the owner of the property provided 26.4 kg of mineralized material selected from a bulk sample extracted between 1989 and 1992. The 26.4 kg sample had the following grades: 58.7 g/t Au, 130 g/t Ag, 7.7% Pb, 4.2% Zn, 1.49% Fe, and 4.65% S2.

Nicola has already paid the required reclamation deposit3 on behalf of itself and High Range Exploration Ltd. ("High Range") for a Notice of Work and Reclamation Program while the latter has been actively prepping towards ore extraction, which is targeted to commence in July of 2025. Ore from the bulk sample will be transported to Nicola's wholly owned mill for processing.

Receipt of the Draft Permit is the culmination Nicola and High Range working closely together to complete environmental requirements, mine plan and consultation. The milestone is attributable to behind-the-scenes hard work from the two teams, both of whom remain committed to meeting the highest environmental, safety, and community standards

"The two parties have worked closely together for three years to garner this milestone," said Peter Espig, President & CEO of Nicola. "High Range President, Alan Raven, has been associated with the project for over two decades and first submitted the application in 2018.

https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/eagle-plains-and-earthwise-minerals-execute-option-agreement-for-the-iron-range-go-993061

Monday, 03 March 2025 07:00 AM

CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 3, 2025 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") and Earthwise Minerals Corp. (CSE:WISE) ("Earthwise") ("WISE" or "Earthwise") are pleased to announce that further to their respective news releases dated February 10, 2025, the parties have entered into an option agreement (the "Option") dated February 26, 2025, pursuant to which Earthwise has been granted the exclusive right to acquire up to an 80% interest in Eagle Plains' wholly-owned Iron Range gold project ("the Project").

Drilling at Iron Range in 2010 resulted in the discovery of the Talon Zone, where drill-hole IR10-010 intersected 2 intervals of strong and continuous mineralization including 14.0m grading 5.1g/t gold, 1.86% lead, 2.1% Zinc, 75.3g/t silver and 7.1m grading 8.13g/t gold, 2.84% lead, 3.07% zinc, 86.6g/t silver (Eagle Plains news release December 21st, 2010). Previous drilling 10km north of the Talon Zone in 2008 by Eagle Plains intersected gold mineralization in drill-hole IR08006 which assayed 7.0m grading 51.52g/t (1.50 oz/ton) gold (Eagle Plains news release dated April 20th, 2009).

The 21,437ha Iron Range Project is considered by management of both Eagle Plains and Earthwise to hold excellent potential for the presence of structurally controlled gold-silver mineralization, iron-oxide copper-gold ("IOCG") and Sullivan-style lead-zinc-silver sedimentary-exhalative ("sedex") mineralization. The property is owned 100% by Eagle Plains, with a portion of the property subject to an underlying 1.0% Net Smelter Royalty held by a third party.

To exercise the Option, Earthwise 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 the Company to acquire a 70% interest in the Project by paying CA$250,000, issuing an aggregate of 1,500,000 common shares to EPL and funding CA$4,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project by over a four-year term, including $200,000 in expenditures in 2025. Pursuant to the Second Option (if elected by Earthwise), the Company may acquire an additional 10% interest in the Project (for an 80% total interest) by notifying Eagle Plains of its intent to increase its interest to 80%, making an additional one-time payment of CDN$ 1,000,000 cash and completing a bankable feasibility study on the Property prior to the eight anniversary of the Option.

If either the First Option or the Second Option is exercised, a 2% smelter returns royalty will be granted to the Eagle Plains over the entire property, 1% of which may be repurchased for CA$1,500,000.

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, Earthwise and Eagle Plains shall then form a 70/30 or 80/20 joint venture ("JV") to further explore and develop the Property.

Iron Range Project Summary

The 21,437ha Iron Range Project located near Creston, BC, is owned 100% by Eagle Plains, subject to a 1% NSR on a portion of the claim group. A well-developed transportation and power corridor transects the southern part of the property, including a high-pressure gas pipeline and a high-voltage hydro-electric line, both of which follow the CPR mainline and Highway 3. The rail line provides efficient access to the Teck smelter in Trail, B.C. The project is fully permitted with a Multi-Year Area Based (MYAB) permit in place issued by the BC Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals that includes provisions for geophysical work, mechanical trenching, access trail construction and diamond drilling.

The Iron Range property covers an extensive area approximately 10km x 32km which overlies the regional Iron Range Fault System ("IRFS"). Prior to the acquisition by Eagle Plains in 2001, the property had seen little systematic exploration for other than iron resources known to exist on the property since the late 1800s. Since 2001, Eagle Plains and its partners have completed 21,593m of diamond-drilling in 87 holes, collected 2482 line-km of airborne and surface geophysical data and analysed 10,053 soil geochemical samples, 495 rock samples and 6955 drill core samples.

TDG Outlines ~12 km Structural Corridor of Copper-Gold Porphyry Targets, Toodoggone

https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/tdg-outlines-12-km-structural-corridor-of-copper-gold-porphyry-targets-toodoggone-994391

Monday, 03 March 2025 07:00 AM

WHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 3, 2025 / TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV:TDG) (the "Company" or "TDG") is pleased to report identification of a ~12 kilometre ("km") structural corridor of copper-gold porphyry targets within its 100% owned Greater Shasta-Newberry and Baker Complex mineral claims. Re-interpreted geophysical data, supported by sediment, rock and soil sampling and geologic information, is suggestive of a series of potential copper-gold ("Cu-Au") porphyry systems covering ~12 kilometres of strike that merit systematic exploration (Figure 1).Evaluation of these targets will be part of TDG's planned and fully funded 2025 exploration program.

There will be in a live webinar at 10:00 am pacific time on March 12, 2025, to present the information contained within this news release. Click here to signup for the webinar which is hosted by 6ix.

Greater Shasta-Newberry & Baker Complex

TDG's Greater Shasta-Newberry project is located adjacent to the recently announced AuRORA1 gold-rich copper porphyry discovery by Freeport McMoRan Inc. and Amarc Resources Limited ("Freeport-Amarc") (news release Jan 17, 2025). Greater Shasta-Newberry and the Baker Complex cover ~60 sq.km and encompass TDG's mineral resource2 at the former producing gold-silver Shasta mine (news release Jan 08, 2025) and the former high-grade gold-silver-copper underground mine at Baker. The Greater Shasta-Newberry and Baker Complex areas share a number of similarities3 with the AuRORA1 deposit.




Figure 1 - Magnetic anomalies (RTP displayed) associated with low resistivity (ZTEM) along a 12 km structural corridor

Targeting Techniques

Successful targeting for porphyry-style mineralization at AuRORA1 appears to be based on identifying major structural and geological controls and applying geophysical techniques that characterize (i) magnetite-rich portions of mineralized intrusive systems, (ii) conductive zones associated with networks of sulphides that could be indicative of mineralized areas with high vein densities, and (iii) high chargeability anomalies. Applying this approach to TDG's properties using the currently available geophysics has identified multiple, discrete, coincident high-magnetic and low-resistivity anomalies (Figure 1). One of the key tools used in defining AuRORA1 appears to have been Induced Polarization ("IP) geophysics, which has never been completed on these newly identified targets and will be an important step to finalise drill placement on TDG's high priority targets.

Technical Support

TDG is pleased to announce that it has retained Jeff Kyba, P.Geo, consulting geologist, to assist with its exploration targeting in 2025. Jeff Kyba was co-author in defining the ‘Red Line' in BC's ‘Golden Triangle,' NW British Columbia - a stratigraphic unconformity located within 2 km of nearly all major deposits in the Stikine Terrane separating the Lower Hazelton (Jurassic) and Upper Stuhini (Triassic) Groups of rocks. The Toodoggone District is also part of the Stikine Terrane and the analogue of the ‘Red Line' in this area is the unconformity between the Lower Hazelton (Jurassic) and Upper Takla (Triassic) Groups of rocks.

Steven Kramar, TDG's VP Exploration, commented: "We have begun an iterative process to understand the controls on the AuRORA1 mineralization and how these might have implications for Greater Shasta-Newberry, and potentially parts of a larger system extending over ~12km. The AuRORA1 discovery is in the same regional corridor as our Trident target (news release Mar 07, 2024) and AuRORA1 has improved our understanding of potential controls on mineralization in the area. We are looking forward to mobilizing at the earliest opportunity, so we can begin the evaluation of this trend on TDG's properties.

TDG is also pleased to welcome Jeff Kyba to the team. His work with the Kyba-Nelson ‘Red Line' and understanding geological conditions for favourable mineralization will be important as we explore across our Toodoggone portfolio."

Importance of the ‘Red Line'

The Kyba-Nelson ‘Red Line' (2014†) is a recognized structural and stratigraphic boundary in British Columbia's ‘Golden Triangle' and Toodoggone District. This horizon marks a major geological unconformity and structural weakness zone associated with significant porphyry and epithermal mineralization. Many world-class deposits1 (KSM, Red Chris, Brucejack, Kemess) and significant deposits/prospects1 (Baker, Shasta, Lawyers, Pine, AuRORA) are located within 2 km of this exposed contact. Nearly the entirety of the Baker Complex, Greater Shasta-Newberry and the intervening ground are all within 2 km of the historically mapped ‘Red Line' (Figure 2).




Figure 2 - The Kyba-Nelson ‘Red Line' with the hatched area defining within 2 km of the ‘Red Line'

Geophysics

The Baker Complex and Greater Shasta-Newberry area exhibit multiple, coincident overlapping geophysical signatures with similarities to the AuRORA1 discovery and may be part of a larger porphyry system. The geophysical inventory of studies completed (wholly or partially) currently includes:

Magnetotellurics ("MT") completed by Amarc-Freeport in 2023 which covers AuRORA1 and a portion of the boundary with Greater Shasta-Newberry

Airborne magnetics, radiometric and Z-Tipper Electromagnetic ("ZTEM") surveys by Sable Resources Limited in 2017 across the Baker Complex, Greater Shasta-Newberry and AuRORA1

Ground magnetics and Very Low Frequency Electromagnetics ("VLF") surveys across Greater Shasta completed by TDG in 2021-2023 targeting shallow, epithermal gold-silver mineralization (news release Oct 17, 2022)

Historical limited ground magnetics and VLF surveys4 on one of the prospects

Historical regional scale airborne magnetic and gravity surveys4 (focused on the Spur target)

To date, eight geophysical targets have been upgraded as high-priority areas of interest (Figure 1) that demonstrate a 'magnetic high' core (ie. magnetic anomaly) with an associated low resistivity (ZTEM) zone. Ground geophysical data collected by TDG and airborne data by previous operators has now been sent to a specialty geophysical firm for reprocessing and reinterpretation in the context of porphyry exploration and the recent AuRORA1 discovery. Additional targets across the Baker Complex are being re-evaluated and may be added to the target list in due course.




Figure 3 - Important Structural Domains in the Greater Shasta-Newberry vicinity

Structure

A detailed structural review is underway utilizing historical geological studies and modern geophysical (2D and 3D) datasets to better understand and define structural domains. In the Toodoggone District, two structural fabrics potentially control porphyry and epithermal mineralization. Northwest parallel trending faults, structures and lineaments appear to serve as a major control on the mines, deposits and prospects from Kemess1 (in the southeast) through Pine1, Shasta, Baker, Lawyers1, and Ranch1 (in the northwest). These parallel northwest trending structures create ‘corridors' of highly prospective areas for significant mineralization (Figures 1 & 2).

A second fabric in the east-northeast direction appears to control clustering of areas of mineralization. This is demonstrated at Kemess North1, which also includes Nugget1, Kemess Underground1, Kemess Offset1 and Kemess East1 deposits - all aligned along an east-northeast fabric. TDG's past producing high-grade Baker mine and associated unmined prospects are aligned along a prominent east-northeast trend and past production had Cu enrichment. The Greater Shasta-Newberry and AuRORA1 area appears to show similar controls (Figure 3 above).

February 27, 2025 9:00 AM EST | Source: Equity Metals Corporation

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 27, 2025) - Equity Metals Corporation (TSXV: EQTY) (OTCQB: EQMEF) (FSE: EGSD) ("Equity" or the "Company") reports on surface sampling results from Q4 2024 work on the Arlington project, located in the Greenwood Mining district, southern British Columbia. The 2024 sampling was part of the Company's validation work on the property initiated soon after acquisition in November 2024.

The work was performed over a seven-day period and consisted of infill soil sampling, prospecting and hand-trenching. A total of 217 soil samples and 22 rock samples were collected. The program was highly successful, both in enlarging the previously-outlined southern Au-in-soil anomaly to 800m x 800m on the South Fresh Pots Target (See Figure 1) and in providing further internal definition to some of the better clusters of higher gold values from earlier (pre-2024) sampling. Of significance 33 of the 217 soil samples returned values >100ppb Au and 3 returned values >1g/t Au. Similarly, 48 of the 217 samples returned >0.5g/t Ag and 8 returned >1g/t Ag.

Gold-bearing outcrop was discovered beneath shallow soil cover on a small portion of the gold-in-soil anomaly in a two-meter hand-dug trench, which returned 41.8g/t Au and 7.9g/t Au in grab samples and 13.3g/t Au over two meters from a continuous chip sample. In addition, a new polymetallic vein showing was discovered to the north associated with a massive metre-scale marble lens that assayed 0.126ppm Au, 21.63ppm Ag, 1.07% Pb, and 1.26% Zn.

Claim Staking

The Company reports that it has increased its land position at the Arlington property. An additional three claims totalling 1,830ha were staked in late January. The Arlington property now consist of 12 claims totaling 5,387ha.

Airborne Geophysical Survey

The Company reports that it has also completed an airborne magnetic/radiometric survey over the Arlington gold-silver project. The 1,193 line-kilometre survey was flown at a 50-metre line-spacing by Precision Geosurveys Inc. over a 3-day period in late January, covering the entire 5,387ha Arlington property.

The survey shows good correlation between certain magnetic/radiometric signatures and several known geological features (lithological and structural) previously recognized on the property. The magnetic data is currently being inverted and will then be incorporated into the larger Arlington database for further interpretation and targeting assessment.

VP Exploration Rob Macdonald commented, "This work on the Arlington property is part of a larger exploration program to be continued in Spring '25 which will include a Lidar Survey, ground IP geophysics, surface mapping and sampling, which will be followed by a 3,000-metre drill campaign initially targeting the South Fresh Pots gold anomaly. This work is budgeted at CDN$1.2 million. It is fully funded and is scheduled to start in mid-April."

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 26, 2025) - SASQUATCH RESOURCES CORP. (CSE: SASQ) ("Sasquatch" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it will be conducting a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") under which it will raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $500,000.

The Offering will consist of the issuance of up to 10,000,000 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.05 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.075 for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance.

The Company may pay finder's fees in connection with the Offering. Securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. Insiders of the Company are expected to participate in the Offering.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described in this news release in the United States. Such securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and, accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States, or to or for the account or benefit of persons in the United States or "U.S. Persons", as such term is defined in Regulation S promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act, unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements.

Corporate Update

The Company has furthered its plans to process and exploit waste rock at Mount Sicker while simultaneously reclaiming the site and addressing the many hazards and environmental issues that remain there from previous mining activities (which mainly occurred from 1895-1910). Succinctly, the Company intends to use mobile ore-sorting technology to identify and remove waste rock which is high in gold, copper, silver and zinc, leaving rejected material (presumably low in sulphides and harmless) behind. Removal of the high sulphide waste and other reclamation efforts are expected to encourage natural growth in an area that has otherwise remained barren for over 120 years. The high sulphide waste is expected to have high grades of gold copper, silver and zinc (see Sasquatch's news release dated October 9, 2024 for further detail) and would be transported off-site and sold.

In continuing to develop the waste rock project at Mount Sicker, the Company has begun to work with the local permitting authority to obtain processing and reclamation guidance and approval, and is also looking to advance its current framework agreement with Sulphide Remediation Inc. ("SRI") towards a definitive agreement (see Sasquatch's news release dated June 24, 2024 for further detail respecting the framework agreement).

While the Company is making progress on both fronts, there can be no guarantee that a permit will ultimately be granted, nor that a definitive agreement with SRI will be reached. Nevertheless, as there are a number of viable approaches and options towards processing and reclamation at Mount Sicker, the Company is confident that some workable permitting scenario can be found. Similarly, even in the event that no definitive agreement with SRI can be reached, there are a number of other options the Company could employ to complete the contemplated processing and reclamation plans.

Justin Deveault, a director of Sasquatch, said "I've been around Mount Sicker, both as a Duncan resident and professional prospector, for most of my life. It's got some of the richest waste rock I've ever seen, partially because cut offs during historical mining operations were as high as 8% copper. High sulphide rock that by today's standards would be considered as prime mining material was simply discarded into piles, and is now potentially harming the environment. The old mining site is also full of hazards, including open mining shafts as deep as 200 feet. This project is a wonderful opportunity for the Cowichan Valley to see a long overdue clean up of a large and potentially dangerous eye-sore in an otherwise pristine wilderness, and to also add good quantities of gold, copper, silver and zinc to the supply chain."

About the Company

Sasquatch Resources Corp. is a mineral exploration company focused on its Mount Sicker Property in southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and the Blue Grouse Property, located about 30km from the Mount Sicker Property on the south side of Lake Cowichan.

The Company owns its interest in the Mount Sicker Property outright, subject to an aggregate 2% net smelter returns royalty, half of which Sasquatch can repurchase by issuing an aggregate of 500,000 Sasquatch common shares to the royalty holders.

Pursuant to an option agreement, Sasquatch has the irrevocable right and option until July 2027 to conduct exploration on the Blue Grouse Property and to remove and process minerals from the surface and near-surface, including without limitation from the mineral "waste rock" and near-surface exposures up to a depth of 10m from surface. As consideration, Sasquatch is required to make such exploration expenditures on the Property to keep the claims in good standing. In addition, on commencement of commercial production on the Property, Sasquatch is required to pay $25,000 to the optionor and grant a 2% net smelter returns royalty to the optionor. Upon completion of commercial production, Sasquatch must make such exploration expenditures as are necessary to keep the claims in good standing for five years thereafter.

About Critical Metals

Critical metals are essential components in modern technologies, including renewable energy systems, defense applications, and advanced electronics. Both the United States and Canada have identified specific lists of critical minerals vital to their economic and national security. The U.S. Geological Survey’s 2022 list includes 50 critical minerals, while Canada in 2024 has designated 34 minerals as critical.

Recent geopolitical developments have heightened concerns over the supply chain security of these critical metals. China, which holds a dominant position in the production and processing of several critical minerals, has implemented export bans affecting the West. These actions underscore the strategic importance of diversifying supply chains and developing domestic sources for critical metals to mitigate geo-political risks and ensure the stability of essential industries.

Metal Energy's AMT Survey Accelerates Exploration Targeting at Highland Valley

Highlights:

Metal Energy has received results for a 60 km2 ground-based AMT survey covering the eastern part of Highland Valley project.
AMT maps intrusive phases of the Guichon Creek Batholith, which hosts Canada's largest copper mine - Teck's Highland Valley Copper operation.
Based on the results, Metal Energy has identified seven targets, including high-priority Zone 2 and Zone 1.

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/242396/Metal-Energys-AMT-Survey-Accelerates-Exploration-Targeting-at-Highland-Valley

February 26, 2025 6:00 AM EST | Source: Metal Energy Corp.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 26, 2025) - Metal Energy Corp. (TSXV: MERG) (OTCQB: MEEEF) (the "Company" or "Metal Energy") is pleased to announce that it has completed and received inversion results for a large 60 km2 ground-based Audio Magnetotellurics (AMT) survey covering the eastern part of its Highland Valley project. This AMT data is an important part of the Company's systematic, multi-parameter exploration targeting strategy at Highland Valley.

What does AMT see?

AMT helps map different intrusive phases of the Late Triassic Guichon Creek Batholith, which hosts Canada's largest copper mine - Teck's Highland Valley Copper operation. These phases have distinct physical properties that can be identified using AMT, magnetics, and gravity:

Younger/Inner Phases (Bethsaida, Skeena, Bethlehem) - More resistive, less magnetic, and less dense. These are the primary source of mineralization in the district.

Older/Outer Phases (Highland Valley, Border) - Less resistive, more magnetic, and denser. These often contain mineralization.

Interpretation of Results

Our data suggests a northeast-dipping contact between the inner and outer batholith, with irregularities extending upward (Figure 1). Mineralization is found within (Zone 1) and along the boundaries (Zone 2) of similar AMT resistors, making them high-priority exploration targets. These features may represent intrusive dike swarms, stocks, or cupolas-structures known to concentrate mineralization in porphyry Cu systems.

While the AMT survey does not directly detect mineralized zones due to its broad 500 m spacing, porphyry Cu mineralization and alteration can influence the resistivity patterns identified. Additionally, geophysical data may highlight younger post-mineral faults that displaced the Guichon internal contacts, which are best seen in the Company's high-resolution airborne magnetic data (Figure 2).

Next Steps: Exploration Targeting

AMT resistivity patterns in map view reveal batholith features and post-intrusion faulting (Figure 3). We have identified exploration targets by combining AMT resistivity with airborne magnetic data.

Ongoing integration of historical geological, geochemical, magnetic, and IP survey data will refine these targets. This will be followed by mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys. As the process continues, target areas will be further refined, and drill holes will be prioritized.

Initial Exploration Target Areas - Eastern Highland Valley

Billy Lake: A large AMT resistive zone aligns with a strong Cu-in-soil anomaly. Bounded by faults, it is interpreted as an uplifted fault block bringing younger intrusive rocks close to surface.

Zone 2: Mineralization occurs in a conductive zone adjacent to an AMT resistor, open to the southwest and north. It lies within a large fault wedge, possibly down-dropped relative to surrounding rocks.

Zone 1: A north-south trending resistive zone with fault offsets and potential for parallel mineralized zones, based on geophysical and historical drilling data.

Mystery: Similar geology and geophysics to Zone 1, with historical drill holes intersecting copper mineralization.

Chataway: A covered area beneath glacial overburden with strong geophysical characteristics. Limited historical drilling near its margins has intercepted copper.

LeRoy Lake: An unexplored area northeast of Zone 1, Zone 2, and Billy Lake, with promising geophysical signatures but no drilling or significant historical exploration.

Sho: Stock-like AMT resistivity features near narrow, high-grade copper intersections in historical drill holes.

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 25, 2025) - Canadian Critical Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CCMI) (OTCQB: RIINF) ("CCMI" or the "Company") is pleased to report revenues for the Company from the sale of stockpiled copper, gold and silver mineralized material at the Bull River Mine ("BRM") project near Cranbrook, BC. During the month of January 2025, the Company trucked 415 dry metric tonnes ("dmt") of sorted mineralized material to New Afton and the Company received a provisional payment of approximately USD$159,000 for the January 2025 shipments. The mineralized material sent to New Afton graded 5.37% Cu, 0.75 g/t Au and 60.7 g/t Ag.

Ore sorting throughput was adversely affected by winter conditions with additional time required to allow the ore sorter to warm up before being operated. Depending on the availability of manpower, the Company expects to send more material to New Afton in February 2025 relative to the previous two months. The grade of material sent to New Afton in January 2025 was similar to December 2024.

Ian Berzins, President and CEO of CCMI commented, "While the total tonnes sent to New Afton during January 2025 were lower than planned, we once again achieved some of the highest grades yet for ore sorting at the Bull River Mine."

Omineca Announces Operational Re-Start of the Underground Placer Gold Recovery Program at Wingdam

https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/omineca-announces-operational-re-start-of-the-underground-placer-gold-recovery-program-at-wingdam-821836322.html

News provided by Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd. Feb 24, 2025, 16:15 ET

SASKATOON, SK, Feb. 24, 2025 /CNW/ - Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd. (TSXV: OMM) (OTCQB: OMMSF) ("Omineca" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce the re-start of underground operations at the Wingdam placer gold project. D&L Mining, working with ground stabilization specialists BAT Construction Ltd., are currently setting up and preparing the underground workings in advance of re-entering the paleochannel containing gold bearing gravels beginning at the already established crosscut heading #3.

Following delays related to the provision of geotechnical submissions to the BC Ministry (EMLI), operations are now set to begin under the mine plan utilizing tunnel liner plate and/or grouted fore-poling (spilings) as needed for ground support in advancing into the gold bearing gravels. The entrance heading will be at a location described in previous news releases, where mining conditions exhibited very dry gravel at the breakthrough from bedrock into the gold bearing paleo-gravels.

Under the mine plan, miners will use either grouted fore-poling followed by the application of shotcrete after excavation or tunnel liner plate where applicable. There are advantages to both types of artificial ground support depending on the characteristics and conditions encountered. D&L has restarted operations with preparatory tasks including rehabilitating the haulage/access drift, cleanout and upgrading dewatering sumps, ventilation upgrades, bulkhead installation and evaluation/reinforcement of existing bulkheads as necessary. With all equipment, mining supplies, and manpower now aggregated on site and operations well underway it is expected that gold bearing gravel recovery will commence in the very near term.

Omineca will provide further updates as D&L advances into the channel toward the central portion where the highest concentrations of placer gold are known to accumulate. The current plan is to continue tunnelling and processing gold-bearing gravels across the full width of the channel followed by excavation both up and downstream within the central portion of the old riverbed.

GSP Targets New High-Grade Gold Discovery Leveraging Existing Copper Resources at Alwin Mine Property

https://thenewswire.com/press-releases/1AqRFryen-gsp-targets-new-high-grade-gold-discovery-leveraging-existing-copper-resources-at-alwin-mine-property.html

ancouver, British Columbia – February 24, 2025 – TheNewswire - GSP Resource Corp. (TSX-V: GSPR / FSE: 0YD / OTC: GSRCF) (the “Company” or “GSP”) provides an overview of planned follow up to the recent High-Grade Gold Discovery made at the 100% owned Alwin Mine Project in Southwestern British Columbia (please see summary news release dated February 19th, 2025). The recently completed drilling marked a sea change for the Alwin Mine Project with the discovery of high-grade gold values in step-out hole AM-24-06 that yielded 5.04 grams-per-tonne (g/t) Gold (Au) and 1.01% Copper (Cu) Over 7.90 metres (m); including 22.93 g/t Au and 1.82% Cu Over 1.64 m1. With analysis of the recent drill results now completed, GSP announces additional high-grade gold drill targets are planned for 2025.

The Alwin Project currently hosts an inferred mineral resource comprising 1.46 million tonnes (Mt) tonnes, at an average grade of 1.08% Cu, yielding 34.6 million pounds of Cu2. Potentially significant silver and gold values have long been known at Alwin, however a lack of historic assays for these metals prior to drilling by GSP has precluded their inclusion in resource estimation. The new discovery within west-side step-out drill hole AM-24-06 at a depth 40 m below the current resource pit shell presents an opportunity to augment existing open pit and underground mineable copper resources with high-grade gold values.

Significantly, high-grade gold values in AM-24-06 occur in a 1.64 m core width interval, which includes an individual sample of 0.84 m assaying 35.1 g/t Au (1.02 oz/ton), within the interpreted hangingwall of a broader 7.9 m core width copper-gold-silver zone3.

The occurrence of high-grade gold values, below the vertical projection of existing “3 Zone” modelled copper resources, affirms the Company’s belief that these two contrasting mineralization styles are structurally and genetically linked, and can be successfully targeted within the context of the current Alwin Mine geological model. Additionally, the Alwin high-grade gold mineralization is visually distinct from the broader copper zones and is marked by the presence of intense texturally destructive black chlorite-sericite alteration.

For the 2025 exploration season, GSP is planning an initial phase of drilling designed to infill and potentially expand the footprint of important high-grade gold mineralization with AM-24-06. The drilling is designed to test both laterally and vertically beyond AM-24-06 to provide additional intercepts to confirm the structural setting, as well to extend the depth of drill holes to test additional modelled copper lodes within the structural footwall to the north that are equally as prospective (Figure 1).

The 2025 exploration season is also expected to pursue additional targets adjacent to the Alwin Open Pit Resource area as well as near other mineral showings on the Property. The upcoming exploration work is subject to financing and market conditions and the Company’s board of directors’ discretion. GSP expects to announce further exploration plans to delineate additional precious metal and polymetallic exploration targets over the coming months approaching the Spring and Summer field season.

Simon Dyakowski, CEO of GSP commented, “The discovery of high-grade gold mineralization represents a unique opportunity to re-frame the Alwin Mine Project in the context of its potential to host broader copper plus gold-silver resources. The resource expansion potential represented by these high-grade gold zones in the context of potential copper equivalence, if we can establish geologic continuity, cannot be understated.”

About the Alwin Mine Project

The Alwin Mine Copper-Silver-Gold property is approximately 344 hectares and is located on the semi-arid, interior plateau in south-central British Columbia. The historic underground mine was developed over 500 m long by 200 m wide by 300 m deep. Production took place between 1916 to 1981 from five major subvertical high-grade copper mineralization zones totaling 233,100 tonnes that milled 3,786 tonnes of copper, 2,729 kilograms of silver and 46.2 kilograms of gold. The average diluted head grade was 1.5% copper.

The Alwin Project hosts a current inferred mineral resource comprising 1.46 million tonnes (Mt) tonnes, at an average grade of 1.08% Cu, yielding 34.6 million pounds of Cu4.

The Alwin Project is adjacent with the western boundary of Teck Resources’ Highland Valley Mine, the largest open-pit porphyry copper-molybdenum mine in western Canada. Alteration and mineralization of the Highland Valley hydrothermal system extends westward from the Highland Valley mine onto the Alwin Project (see GSP’s news release dated January 30, 2020).

InZinc Discovers New Anomaly Supporting Extension of Near Surface Mineralization at Indy Sedex Project, Central BC

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/241569/InZinc-Discovers-New-Anomaly-Supporting-Extension-of-Near-Surface-Mineralization-at-Indy-Sedex-Project-Central-BC

February 24, 2025 9:42 AM EST | Source: InZinc Mining Ltd.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 24, 2025) - InZinc Mining Ltd. (TSXV: IZN) ("InZinc" or the "Company") is pleased to report a new soil anomaly has been identified to the east of the B-9 Zone at the Indy Sedex (zinc-lead-silver) project (100% interest) located 90 km southeast of Prince George in central British Columbia, Canada. The new Hilo anomaly is located 400 m east of the B-9 Zone, where 450 m of shallow mineralization including an intercept of 10.0% (zinc and lead) and 16.2 g/t silver over 9.9 m is outlined by previous drilling. The Hilo anomaly is suggestive of the potential eastward continuation of B-9 Zone mineralization (see Figure 1).

Indy - A High-Potential Southern Analogue of the Prolific Selwyn Basin

In 2024, in addition to discovery of extensive barite mineralization, stratigraphy of the Indy project was age constrained and correlated to one of the world's most prolific Sedex zinc-lead-silver-barite belts, the Selwyn Basin. The Selwyn Basin hosts the world's second largest accumulation of Sedex deposits, including some of the world's largest. Previously the mineralized sequences within the 1,100 km long Selwyn Basin were only known to occur in the Yukon and northeastern BC. Recent work strongly indicates the Indy project represents a southern analogue of the Selwyn Basin strata and its related mineralization (see News Release 2024-06, May 16, 2024 for details). The Indy project, located just 90 km from Prince George, is particularly well located with respect to road, rail and power infrastructure.

Renewal of a 5-year, 60 drill hole permit was received in mid-2024. The Company is well positioned with working capital1 of $2.0 million and has commenced planning for 2025 activities.

New Hilo Anomaly - Expansion Potential of B-9 Zone Mineralization

The Hilo anomaly is outlined by new (2024) soil geochemical sampling extending over an area of 2.0 km by 350 m east of the B-9 Zone mineralization. The B-9 Zone has been intersected in 13 of 15 drill holes over a 450 m strike-length to a depth of 130 m and remains open for expansion in all directions.

Hilo anomaly - 450 m strike with strong zinc, lead and barium in soil.

Located 400 m east of B-9 Zone.

First barium in soil anomaly proximal to B-9 Zone.

To date, only 450 m of the extensive 2.4 km long soil Anomaly B (zinc, lead, silver, barium) has been drill tested and is host to B-9 Zone mineralization.

Airborne EM geophysical surveys identify a strong conductive response over 1.4 km coinciding with the upper or eastern edge of the soil Anomaly B and with B-9 Zone mineralization.

Hilo anomaly is potentially indicative of an eastward continuation of B-9 Zone mineralization.

Additional fall 2024 work at Indy included approximately 2.2 km of road rehabilitation and new trails to gain access to the Keel West and Delta targets in preparation for drilling.

South32 Increases Exploration Activities to the North of Indy

South32 Limited, a globally diversified metals and mining company, independently staked 200 km2 of mineral claims northwest and adjacent to Indy in late 2021. In 2024, South32 substantially increased exploration activities at the Maguire Sedex project, including over 600 line-km of airborne geophysics and geological and geochemical programs.

Property-Wide Sedex Drill Targets

The widespread distribution of mineralization (sulphide and barite) and related geochemical and geophysical anomalies across the 7.5 km Main Trend define high-potential exploration targets for Sedex deposits at Indy (see Figure 2):

Hilo Anomaly - 450 m strike with strong zinc, lead and barium in soil, located 400 m east of B-9 Zone.

B-9 Zone - Near surface Sedex-style mineralization (up to 10.0% zinc and lead, 16.2 g/t silver over 9.9 m) at the B-9 sulphide zone (450 m strike open for expansion in all directions), within a 2.4 km long multi-element soil geochemical anomaly (Anomaly B).

Anomaly C - Untested, very high contrast multi-element soil geochemical anomaly extends over 750 m in length.

Echo - A 1.9 km long continuous high contrast, multi-element (zinc, lead, barium signatures) soil geochemical anomaly with approximately 900 m remaining to be drill tested.

Keel Barite - Extensive barite mineralization (700 m strike) at Keel with local enrichment in zinc-lead sulphides at Keel West.

Delta - Additional widespread barite mineralization at surface (up to 25% barite in rock samples) with zinc-lead enrichment occurring over a 1.3 km trend, untested and located 1 km northwest of Keel.

February 20, 2025 18:38 ET | Source: Imperial Metals Corporation

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imperial Metals Corporation (the “Company” or “Imperial”) (TSX:III) reports that 2024 metal production from Red Chris (100% basis) was 85,320,618 pounds of copper and 59,811 ounces of gold, up from 57,051,467 pounds of copper and 46,046 ounces of gold in 2023, on higher grades and recoveries for both metals. Red Chris met its 2024 production guidance of 85.0 million pounds of copper and 57,000 ounces of gold for the calendar year 2024.

Imperial’s 30% share of Red Chris mine production for 2024 was 25,595,185 pounds of copper up from 17,115,440 pounds copper in 2023 and 17,943 ounces of gold up from 13,814 ounces gold in 2023.

The Red Chris feasibility study is advancing as are permitting activities and some underground development work to support the underground block cave project.

Newmont Mining Corporation guidance for Red Chris mine production (100%) is 88 million pounds of copper and 86,000 ounces of gold for the calendar year 2025.

Both copper and gold production are expected to be higher in 2025 at Red Chris as the mining sequence provides for mining higher grade ore during the year, including a 50 percent increase in gold production year over 2024 results.

The 2025 production target for Mount Polley is 25.0 - 27.0 million pounds copper and 35,000 - 40,000 ounces gold. The production target for gold is the same as in 2024, while the copper production target is lower. Phase 4 Springer Pit ore, which has a higher recoverable copper grade is targeted to be fully mined by the third quarter of 2025, with the lower copper grade from the Phase 5 pushback in the Springer pit delivering process ore in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Brian Kynoch, P.Eng., Imperial’s President has reviewed the production disclosures contained in this news release and is the designated Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”).

Finlay Minerals Outlines Numerous Copper Porphyry Targets on its PIL & ATTY Properties

https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/finlay-minerals-outlines-numerous-copper-porphyry-targets-on-its-pil-amp-atty-properties-812530934.html

News provided by Finlay Minerals Ltd. Feb 20, 2025, 08:00 ET

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - Finlay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: FYL) (OTCQB: FYMNF) ("Finlay" or the "Company") has identified multiple porphyry and porphyry-related epithermal target zones on its 100% owned PIL & ATTY Properties in the heart of the prolific Toodoggone porphyry copper-gold and epithermal precious metals district of northern British Columbia, Canada.

Figure 2. Geology and identified porphyry and epithermal targets on the PIL Property. (CNW Group/Finlay Minerals Ltd.)





The Finlay team has been reviewing the geological data within the PIL & ATTY Properties and the surrounding areas including the AuRORA Au-Cu-Ag porphyry discovery on the JOY Project Joint Venture between Amarc Resources Ltd. ("Amarc") and Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc. ("Freeport"). The collar for drill hole JP24075 at the AuRORA discovery is only 730 meters ("m") south of the PIL Property boundary, which included a 266 m interval of 1.24 g/t Au, 0.31% Cu and 3.42 g/t Ag from 34.0 m (see Amarc Resources News Release dated January 20, 2025 on Amarc's SEDAR profile at www.sedarplus.ca). The Amarc-Freeport JOY Project is bound at its northwest and southeast extents by Finlay's PIL and ATTY properties.



The PIL & ATTY Properties are within a 70 kilometer ("km") porphyry corridor stretching from Electrum Resource Corporation's Thor-Marmot Property at the southeast end, to Sun Summit's JD Property at the northwest end (Figure 1).

This corridor is host to several Cu-Au+/- Mo porphyry deposits and targets, with low and high sulphidation Au-Ag epithermal systems related to the porphyry centres. The Toodoggone porphyry corridor is bound by northwest trending structures including the Saunders, Pillar and Black Faults, which create east-west trending extension zones where porphyry fluids and intrusional pulses can develop forming porphyry trends (Figures 1 and 2). The best east-west extension zone example in the Toodoggone is the Kemess North Trend which hosts the Kemess Underground and Kemess East deposits on Centerra Gold Inc.'s Kemess Property.

On the PIL Property there are multiple porphyry and epithermal targets occurring along east-west trends:

The PIL South porphyry target is 3.5 km east of the AuRORA discovery with the Reef high sulphidation target in between and TDG Gold Corporation's Shasta epithermal Au-Ag deposit to the west.

Drilling in 2024 at PIL South intersected significant Cu-Au porphyry mineralization including PILS-24-006 returning 0.10% copper with 0.05 g/t gold, 7.1 g/t silver, and 0.18% zinc over 162.00 m from 749.00 m, in volcanic rocks peripheral to a potential mineralized intrusive porphyry system;

The Copper Ridge and Southwest Gossan porphyry targets, which line up with TDG Gold's Trident and Black Gossan targets;

The Gold, Central Zone and WG Gold targets, and

The Atlas, Pillar East and Copper Cliff are within yet another east-west extension zone.

On the ATTY Property, there are two further porphyry-epithermal targets occurring along the east-west trend:

The KEM porphyry target occurs on a similar east-west trend as the Kemess North Trend and is within a similar geological package as Kemess East in addition to hosting a significant chargeability and resistivity anomaly not yet tested by drilling; the Attycelley epithermal target east of KEM is potentially the surface expression of a distal porphyry with a chargeability and resistivity anomaly just 300 meters to the northwest.

The Wrich porphyry target is connected to the SW Takla Porphyry target and on trend with the Canyon, Twins and Mex porphyry targets on Amarc's JOY Project.

Planning is underway for a significant 2025 exploration program on the PIL Property. Ideally work will include an IP geophysical survey, geological mapping, SWIR sample collection and surface sample collection with the aim of delineating drill targets.

Details of the PIL Property exploration targets can be found in the Company's news release dated November 12, 2024 entitled: "Finlay Minerals reports completion of 2024 field work on its PIL Property by Cascadia Minerals" and in the PIL Property section of the Company website at www.finlayminerals.com. Details of Cascadia Minerals Ltd. 2024 exploration work on the PIL can be found on Cascadia's SEDAR profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

About Finlay Minerals Ltd.

Finlay is a TSXV company focused on exploration for base and precious metal deposits with four properties in northern British Columbia:

The ATTY Property covers 3,875 hectares ("ha") of sub-alpine terrain in the southern Toodoggone region. The Toodoggone is a northwest-trending belt of Triassic to Jurassic arc terranes that hosts numerous significant porphyry Cu-Au ± Ag and associated epithermal Au-Ag deposits. The ATTY Property is in between and contiguous to Centerra Gold's Kemess Project and the joint-venture JOY Project held by Amarc Resources and Freeport-McMoRan. The ATTY Property's KEM target has similarities to the Kemess North Trend, which hosts the Kemess Underground and Kemess East deposits.
The PIL Property, which covers 13,374 ha in the heart of the Toodoggone region, has numerous porphyry Cu-Au ± Ag targets and associated epithermal Au-Ag mineralization. The PIL Property is neighboured by Amarc Resources and Freeport-McMoRan's joint venture JOY Project and TDG Gold Corporation's Shasta/Baker and Sofia Properties. The PIL Property is also 25 km northwest of Centerra Gold's past-producing Kemess South Mine and 15 km east of Thesis Gold's Lawyers Project.
The Silver Hope Property covers 21,322 ha and surrounds the past-producing Equity Silver Mine in the prospective Skeena Arch region of central B.C. The Silver Hope contains the Main Trend which is a >2 km Cu-Ag-Au mineralized trend with mineralization starting at surface. West of the Main Trend is the West Cu-Mo Porphyry which is also mineralized starting from surface. The Property hosts a network of forestry roads and trails and has all-year access from Houston, BC.
The SAY Property covers 15,246 ha and is located 140 km north of Smithers, B.C. The SAY Property is within a 135 km long belt of relatively unexplored Stikine Terrane, with American Eagle Gold's NAK and Amarc Resources and Boliden Mineral Canada's DUKE Cu-Mo-Ag-Au porphyry prospects at the southern end, to HDI Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd.'s Jake Project Cu-Au-Ag porphyry discovery at the north end of the belt. The SPUR and SHEL zones are the most advanced targets on the SAY property. The SPUR is a high-grade Cu-Ag structural controlled vein and breccia target extending for 4.3 km with assays up to 15.8% Cu and 993 g/t Ag. The SHEL target area is a Cu-Mo porphyry identified by historic mapping and drilling.

(See Amarc News Release dated January 20th, 2025). The BEN claim is strategically located within Hi-View’s Lawyers East claim block that is contiguous to the western flank of Amarc’s JOY Property.

The BEN claim was previously owned by TDG Gold Corp. (“TDG”) that operates the nearby “Baker” and “Shasta” Copper/Gold projects and is contiguous to the North and East sides of Hi-View’s Lawyers East claim block (See below Toodoggone area map).

See project page for more information: Toodoggone Mining District - Hi-View Resources

Hi-View Resources CEO Robert Nick Horsley states, “Gold prices are hitting all-time highs and copper is in high demand as a critical metal in the Green Energy Transition. We are well positioned and excited to continue our exploration in the prolific Toodoggone region following significant 2024 sampling discoveries on our Lawyers claim blocks next to the Amarc Resources AuRORA discovery.

Neighboring Thesis Gold Inc. (“TAU”) recently raised $10 Million by way of brokered private placement and will be actively drilling to expand their existing mineral resource of over 4 million ounces of Gold equivalent next to our 100% owned Golden Stranger property.

We are planning an active 2025 exploration season, focusing on both our newly acquired Babine Gold and Copper project and our Gold-Silver Projects in the prolific Toodoggone region. Furthermore, the Company will continue to look to acquire new exciting opportunities to add to its highly prospective portfolio of Gold and Copper exploration projects.”

Planning has commenced for a follow up exploration program on the Company’s 9,140 Hectare (“Ha”) Golden Stranger Project and Lawyers South, East and West claims located in British Columbia's prolific Toodoggone-Kemess porphyry Cu-Au region of north-central British Columbia (“Toodoggone”).

Hi-View’s properties are contiguous to Thesis Gold Inc. (“TAU”) Lawyers-Ranch project that has reported significant drilling intercepts and extensive continued drilling campaigns and currently hosts a Total Mineral Resource of 4.0 million ounces (Moz) gold equivalent (AuEq)1,2 (Measured and Indicated) at 1.51 grams per tonne (g/t) AuEq1,2 and 727,000 oz AuEq1,2 (Inferred) at 1.82 g/t Au Eq1,2 (See Thesis News Release dated September 5th 2024). To the Southeast, Hi-View’s properties are contiguous to Amarc’s JOY Copper-Gold district project that recently announced significant drilling discoveries at the Au-rich porphyry AuRORA Target (See Amarc News Release dated January 20th, 2025).

Exploration at the BEN Claim

Exploration for epithermal type deposits has been concentrated on the Jerry, the Lacnoir and the eastern part of the Ben claim. The claims are underlain by coarse grained granodiorite of the Black Lake intrusive suite in contact with Jurassic Takla Group volcanic and sedimentary rocks.

Detailed ground magnetometer surveys and a program of soil sampling has been completed in the past at the Lacnoir claim and the southeast corner of the Ben claim. A number of anomalous gold in soils have been detected in the historical soil sampling including assays of up to 1,720 parts per billion gold. The results to date indicate that additional follow-up exploration is warranted on the Jerry, Lacnoir and Ben claims including geological mapping, additional geophysical surveys and further sampling programs.

Hi-View 2024 Exploration Overview

As announced on October 1st 2024, Hi-View completed a sampling program that returned assays in grab samples of up to 111.5 g/t Au and 2,740 g/t Ag. In addition, the Company identified a new target zone 1.3 km to the southeast of the Golden Stranger on the Lawyers Group. The target consists of a previously unknown mineralized zone, with one grab sample returning 2.68 g/t Au and 13.2 g/t Ag along with a number of gold in soil anomalies. The Company has 45 sites now permitted for drilling across the project to confirm and expand upon historical drilling intercepts on the project of up to 10 meters of 11.5 g/t Au. The project hosts a historical resource of 498,905 tonnes of material grading 2.74 g/t Au* (Sutton Resources Ltd. Report to Shareholders, March 30, 1989 in Energy, Mines and Resources Canada Mineral Bulletin MR 223 (1989) - B.C. 268)*.

*The historical mineral resource estimate above for the Golden Stranger mineralized zone was calculated prior to the implementation of the standards set forth in the current NI 43-101 and current CIM standards for mineral resource estimation. Resource definitions, terminology, and reporting standards have changed significantly since these series of reports. The estimates in these reports are all considered historical in nature and a QP has not done sufficient work to evaluate these resources as current resources. In order for these resources to be updated as current resources, a QP would need to examine and analyze the existing drill core, validate and verify the existing data supporting the historical estimate, and perform a confirmatory site visit. Therefore, the Company and the QP for this News Release are treating this estimate as historical in nature and are highlighting the estimate for the purpose of illustrating the potential extent of mineralization that may be present.

Prior to the October 2024 announcement Hi-View’s 2023 exploration program consisted of soil sampling within the Golden Stranger claims. The Golden Stranger claims have historical drilling of 29 diamond drill holes during 1987 and 1988, which showed mineralization in core and on surface consistent with other regional mineralized trends. The Lawyers group of claims has had an airborne magnetics survey flown at 100 meter spacing, which produced strong magnetic anomalies consistent with other regional mineralized trends.




Figure 2. Golden Stranger Drill Core

The soil survey was completed in Fall 2023 and was centered around the main Golden Stranger historical showings on a grid 3 km wide by 2.8 km in length with 15 sample lines at 200 m spacing with samples along the lines collected at 100 m intervals. A total of 419 soil samples sites were examined and where possible sampled in 2023. Results have been received for a total of 335 samples with 8 samples returning greater than 50 ppb Au and 2 samples returning greater than 100 ppb Au up to 254 ppb Au. A total of 11 rock grab samples during 2023 were collected while soil sampling with 3 samples returning greater than 0.1 g/t Au up to 0.957 g/t Au. A total of 6 of the 11 rock grab samples yielded greater than 2 g/t Ag up to 7.4 g/t Ag. Most of the rock grab samples were collected near the north end of the main showings area.

Based upon the 2023 work and results, the 2024 survey identified two new areas with multiple anomalous gold in soil samples identified 800 m north of the main showings and 1.2 km southeast of the main showings. A total of 45 rock grab samples were collected during the 2024 program. There is little exposure in the areas of the gold in soil anomalies, however, some minor silica veins with propylitic alteration were spotted in limited outcrops and were sampled. At the main historical Golden Stranger showings, geologists identified hydrothermal breccias with potassic alteration and rounded altered clasts along with silica veinlets similar to the breccias at the Cliff Creek prospect at Thesis Gold’s Lawyers Project. The breccias, similar to the neighboring Lawyers gold project, contain sooty pyrite in a silica matrix with some galena spotted. A total of five samples returned anomalous gold (>0.2 g/t Au) and six samples returned anomalous silver (>5 g/t Ag), including one impressive high-grade grab sample that returned 111.5 g/t Au and 2,740 g/t Ag. Additionally, quartz veins sampled 1.3 km to the southeast of the Golden Stranger on the Lawyers Group revealed a previously unknown mineralized zone, with one sample returning 2.68 g/t Au and 13.2 g/t Ag and four samples returning anomalous silver, indicating significant potential for further discoveries in this area.

Hi-Views’ management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to Hi-View may not necessarily be indicative of the presence of mineralization on the Company's properties.
