Corcel Exploration Inc. (CSE: CRCL) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Corcel’) today announced plans for Phase 1 of its maiden drill program and additional surface exploration activities on its 100%-owned Yuma King Project (‘Yuma King’ or the ‘Project’) in west-central Arizona. The Phase 1 drill program will consist of an initial 2000 m of diamond drilling, targeting copper (Cu gold (Au) skarn and porphyry style mineralization around the historical Yuma King Mine area. In addition to drilling, the Company plans to conduct an Induced Polarization (IP) survey over the newly recognized Three Musketeers and Yuma King West skarn and porphyry Cu-Au targets to test for anomalies under structural cover and guide additional targeting on the Project.

Yuma King Exploration Program 2025

  • A Phase 1 diamond drill program consisting of approximately 2,000 metres is planned for winter 2025 and will focus on key targets in and around the Yuma King Mine, identified by recent drone magnetic and geochemical surveys.

  • Drilling is designed to test extensions to Cu-Au mineralization near the Yuma King Mine area.

  • 8.5-line kilometres of new IP surveying across Three Musketeers, Yuma King West, and Yuma King Mine to outline new porphyry-skarn Cu-Au and Au drill targets.

  • Hyperspectral and geological mapping to refine target concepts and footprints.

Drill Targets at Yuma King Mine

The objectives for the 2025 drill program at the project are to confirm historic drill results, expand along strike and down dip the Cu-Au mineralization at the Yuma King Mine and to identify areas of new high-grade Cu-Au mineralization. Initial drilling on the Yuma King Mine zone is designed to test the skarn/replacement and porphyry mineralization as the system remains open in multiple directions and at depth.

Highlights from the historical drilling at the Yuma King Mine include intersections of 0.78% Cu, 0.53 g/t Au, and 6.3 g/t Ag over 45.4m in Cu-Au skarn. The upcoming drilling will step out from known mineralization and aim to expand mineralized zones along strike and down dip.

The Phase 1 drill program is expected to be comprised of approximately 2,000 metres of core drilling over eight to ten drill holes. The drilling will focus on extensions to known Cu-Au skarn and porphyry mineralization, and it is expected that feedback from visual and XRF data will enable the Company to optimize and re-prioritize planned drill holes as the program progresses. Additional geophysical, surface geological, and hyperspectral data may also upgrade the priority of targets during the course of the Phase 1 program.

The upcoming 2025 Yuma King drill program marks a pivotal step for Corcel as we look to unlock the Yuma King copper-gold system,’ commented CEO, Jon Ward. ‘Our recent geophysical and geochemical work has outlined multiple high-priority targets surrounding the historic mine area, where skarn and porphyry-style mineralization remain open along strike and at depth. With drill targeting supported by strong magnetic anomalies, soil results, and high-grade rock samples, we are positioned to rapidly confirm historic grades, expand known zones, and test new targets. This will be the most technically informed drill program ever undertaken at Yuma King, as we continue to advance the project and unlock value for shareholders.’

IP Survey at Yuma King West, Three Musketeers, and Yuma King Mine

The IP survey to be completed during Phase 1 is designed to collect high resolution data over the Three Musketeers, Yuma King West, and Yuma King Mine target areas. The IP survey lines will transect the exposed alteration-mineralization zones and prospective areas under thin structural cover and will image the subsurface to a depth of ~400 metres. The IP survey is an important tool in these areas, where there is no historical drilling, as it can image sulfide mineralization at depth.

In addition to the IP geophysical survey and drilling, 2025 exploration activities will include a remote sensing hyperspectral alteration survey and further geologic mapping and surface geochemical sampling.

The Phase 1 IP survey and surface results will be combined with recently collected historical data on the project, including results from Corcel’s soil sampling, rock chip sampling, and drone magnetic survey, to prioritize targets for a Phase 2 drill program which will encompass areas on the property that have not been tested with drilling.

About Standard Uranium (TSXV: STND,OTC:STTDF)

We find the fuel to power a clean energy future

Standard Uranium is a uranium exploration company and emerging project generator poised for discovery in the world’s richest uranium district. The Company holds interest in over 235,435 acres (95,277 hectares) in the world-class Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since its establishment, Standard Uranium has focused on the identification, acquisition, and exploration of Athabasca-style uranium targets with a view to discovery and future development.

Standard Uranium’s Davidson River Project, in the southwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, comprises ten mineral claims over 30,737 hectares. Davidson River is highly prospective for basement-hosted uranium deposits due to its location along trend from recent high-grade uranium discoveries. However, owing to the large project size with multiple targets, it remains broadly under-tested by drilling. Recent intersections of wide, structurally deformed and strongly altered shear zones provide significant confidence in the exploration model and future success is expected.

Standard Uranium’s eastern Athabasca projects comprise over 43,185 hectares of prospective land holdings. The eastern basin projects are highly prospective for unconformity related and/or basement hosted uranium deposits based on historical uranium occurrences, recently identified geophysical anomalies, and location along trend from several high-grade uranium discoveries.

Standard Uranium’s Sun Dog project, in the northwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, is comprised of nine mineral claims over 19,603 hectares. The Sun Dog project is highly prospective for basement and unconformity hosted uranium deposits yet remains largely untested by sufficient drilling despite its location proximal to uranium discoveries in the area.

Terra Clean Energy CORP. (‘ Terra ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) (CSE: TCEC,OTC:TCEFF, OTCQB: TCEFF FSE: C 9O0 is pleased to highlight the rare earth element (‘REE’) potential at its Fraser Lakes B Deposit, confirmed by drilling and assays. The REE component within the deposit and surrounding areas contains significant quantities of rare earth oxides (‘REO’) specifically La₂O₃ (Lanthanum oxide), Ce₂O₃ (Cerium oxide), Yb₂O₃ (Ytterbium oxide), and Y₂O₃ (Yttrium oxide) as reported in the technical report filed under the Company’s profile on sedarplus.ca on February 9, 2023.

These light rare earths are key elements in automotive, batteries, magnets as well as other industries.

Lanthanum has two main uses: as a phosphate binder in medicine to treat high blood phosphate levels in kidney disease patients, and in various industrial applications like manufacturing nickel-metal hydride batteries, catalytic converters, specialty glass, and as a component in alloys for lighters and other products.

Cerium is used in a variety of applications, including as a polishing agent for glass and a catalyst in automotive catalytic converters to reduce emissions. It is also used in metallurgy to improve alloys and steel, and in the production of flints for lighters, incandescent gas mantles, and components for batteries.

Ytterbium is used in a variety of applications, including improving stainless steel, dental alloys, portable x-ray machines, atomic clocks, superconductors, lasers and amplifiers, fiber optic communications, and quantum computing.

Yttrium is used in a variety of applications, most notably as a key component in phosphors for LEDs and displays, and in lasers for medical and industrial uses. It is also used in ceramics, such as those for high-temperature fuel cells and medical implants, as a metallurgical additive for alloys, and in electronics like microwave filters and automotive sensors. Additionally, specific yttrium isotopes have medical applications in cancer therapy and diagnostic imaging.

Please see the link below from the Natural Resources Canada (NRC) website showing the Falcon Point Project in Saskatchewan, Canada which covered the Fraser Lakes B Deposit.  The South Falcon East Project is a portion of this former project.  Through an NRC grant to the University of Saskatchewan in March 2024, The Government of Canada has contributed  to a multiyear study of REE’s in northeastern Saskatchewan.  The Fraser Lakes B Deposit is part of this study and Terra is a participating partner.   REE’s continue to be identified in recent drilling programs.

https://natural-resources.canada.ca/minerals-mining/mining-data-statistics-analysis/minerals-metals-facts/rare-earth-elements-facts

‘With renewed interest in rare earth elements it is important that shareholders understand we are sitting on an active REE deposit,’ said Greg Cameron, CEO of Terra. ‘This deposit adds significant upside, particularly in light of today’s environment which places far more value on the strategic importance of rare earth elements. Management is committed to making sure this value is understood  and unlocked as we continue with the ongoing development of our uranium deposit at Fraser Lakes,’ continued Mr. Cameron.

‘We are excited to be involved in the expansion of Rare Earth Element deposit understanding and inventory in Canada’, commented Trevor Perkins, Vice President of Exploration for Terra.  ‘With the current emphasis on REE, it is time to highlight this aspect of our Fraser Lakes B Uranium and REE Deposit.  We are sure that with continued drilling and study of the Fraser Lakes B deposit we will add to both the uranium and REE resource,’ continued Mr. Perkins.

Assays for Additional Holes Remain Pending

Silver47 Exploration Corp. (TSXV: AGA,OTC:AAGAF) (OTCQB: AAGAF) (‘Silver47’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce high-grade assay results from the first batch of holes from the 2025 drill program at the Company’s wholly-owned and flagship Red Mountain Project in Alaska, USA. The Company also announces that it has drilled multiple new silver-gold veins east of the Ruby discovery in the Tonopah Mining District, Hughes Project, Nevada.

Key Highlights (Red Mountain):

  • High-Grade Step-Outs at West Tundra Flat:

    • 640 g/t silver equivalent* over 6.9 m (136 g/t Ag, 0.56 g/t Au, 7.06% Zn, 1.99% Pb and 0.16% Cu, including 1,341 g/t silver equivalent over 3.05 m (305 g/t Ag, 1.23 g/t Au, 15.61% Zn, 4.45% Pb and 0.35% Cu) in a 165 m step-out in WT25-38.

    • 736 g/t silver equivalent over 3.0 m (249 g/t Ag, 0.69 g/t Au, 6.16% Zn, 3.43% Pb and 0.12% Cu) in a 165 m step-out in WT25-37.

  • Broad Mineralization at Dry Creek:

    • 344 g/t silver equivalent over 12.8 m (13 g/t Ag, 0.01 g/t Au, 4.93% Zn, 2.22% Pb and 0.17% Cu), including 646 g/t silver equivalent over 1.3 m (335 g/t Ag, 0.71 g/t Au, 3.9% Zn, 1.4% Pb and 0.13% Cu) in DC25-108.

  • Resource Expansion: The 2025 summer program targeted untested areas near historical high-grade intercepts to enhance Red Mountain’s inferred 168.6 million silver equivalent ounce resource (336 g/t AgEq*) at Dry Creek and West Tundra Flat.

  • Significant Growth Potential: Both the West Tundra Flat and Dry Creek deposits remain open along strike and down-dip, with systematic drilling planned to delineate full scale.

  • Assays Pending: Results for 8 additional holes from the 2025 program are pending and expected to further enhance results.

*Notes: g/t=grams per tonne; AgEq=silver equivalent; ZnEq=zinc equivalent; m=metres; Ag=silver; ‎Au=gold; Cu=copper; Zn=zinc; Pb=lead; 1ppm=1 g/t. Equivalencies are calculated using ratios with metal prices of US$2,750/tonne Zn, US$2,100/tonne Pb, US$8,880/tonne Cu, US$1,850/oz Au, and US$23/oz Ag and metal recoveries are based on metallurgical work returned of 90% Zn, 75% Pb, 70% Cu, 70% Ag, and 80% Au. Silver Equivalent (AgEq g/t) = [Zn (%) x 47.81] + [Pb (%) x 30.43] + [Cu (%) x 119] + [Ag (g/t) x 1] + [Au (g/t) x 91.93]

Key Highlights (Hughes):

  • High-Grade Silver-Gold Intercepts:

    • 509 g/t silver equivalent** (3.30 g/t Au, 252 g/t Ag) over 1.1 m in SUM24-65

    • 406 g/t silver equivalent (2.47 g/t Au, 217 g/t Ag) over 0.9 m in SUM24-66

    • 546 g/t silver equivalent (3.16 g/t Au, 306 g/t Ag) over 0.5 m in SUM23-60

  • Expanded Ruby Vein System: Drilling confirms continuity of high-grade silver-gold mineralization across a broad 600m trend at Ruby.

  • Significant Discovery Potential: Mineralization extends over a 4 km strike length east of the historic Tonopah Mining District, open in all directions, with strong alteration suggesting proximity to a major mineralized structure.

  • Searching for the ‘Main Structure’: Planned drill fences will target the main high-grade structure, building on mineralized veins and extensive hydrothermal alteration observed in drilling to date.

**Silver equivalent is calculated using US$20/oz Ag, US$1,800/oz Au with metallurgical recoveries of Ag – 90%, Au – 95%. AgEq = (Ag grade x Ag recovery)+((Au grade x Au recovery) x (Au price / Ag price)).

Galen McNamara, CEO, stated: ‘Our high-grade intercepts at Red Mountain and expanded mineralization at Hughes position Silver47 as a leader in silver and critical minerals exploration in premier U.S. jurisdictions. With silver’s expected inclusion on the critical minerals list, our 2025 results and planned drilling underscore our commitment to unlocking value for shareholders. We are excited to accelerate our exploration at our U.S. projects in 2026 and beyond.’

Gary R. Thompson, Executive Chairman, stated: ‘It’s exciting times for silver companies with the recent breakout of silver to all time high prices and it feels like we have a new higher base with lots of room to move dramatically higher from here. Silver47 is well positioned to capitalize on this renewed interest in the sector as we advance our wholly owned high-grade silver assets within the USA.’

The Red Mountain Drill Program

The 2025 drill program at the Red Mountain Project, 100 km south of Fairbanks, Alaska, consisted of fifteen drill holes – eight holes at the Dry Creek target (Figure 1) and seven holes were completed at the West Tundra Flats target. The Dry Creek and West Tundra Flat targets together account for an inferred resource of 15.6 Mt at 336 g/t AgEq* for 168.6 million silver equivalent ounces. Drilling at both targets consisted of a series of infill and step-out holes designed to test areas near historical high-grade drill intercepts and modelled domains.

Dry Creek Drilling: Holes DC25-107 and DC25-108 were collared on the northeast extent of the Dry Creek deposit and tested the down-dip extent of VMS mineralization below and offset from hole DC24-106. Hole DC24-106, drilled in 2024, intersected multiple massive sulfide horizons within a significant 24.5 m semi-massive mineralized zone (e.g., 2,939 g/t silver equivalent (249.5 g/t Ag, 14.95 g/t Au, 21.97% Zn, 7.03% Pb and 0.42% Cu) over 2.48 m and 2,235 g/t silver equivalent (225 g/t Ag, 8.08 g/t Au, 21.2% Zn, 6.68% Pb and 0.42% Cu) over 0.91 m, see November 18th, 2024 News Release).

Both holes DC25-107 and DC25-108 intersected multiple horizons of semi-massive with locally massive sulfides (e.g., sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite) within pyritic metavolcanics and metasediments of the Totatlanika Schist. This prospective unit is traced for ~4,500 m along the Dry Creek Deposit where it dips steeply to the north and hosts multiple VMS horizons that locally pinch and swell along strike. Holes are primarily drilled to the south to intersect the lenses at close to true-widths.

The high-grade interval in DC25-108 at 232.9m downhole (654 g/t silver equivalent (79 g/t Ag, 0.40 g/t Au, 8.3% Zn, 4.2% Pb and 0.12% Cu) over 1.3 m, Table 1) is approximately 65 m downdip from the high-grade zone in DC24-106 and demonstrates a strong down-dip extension potential along the VMS horizon in this section of the Dry Creek Deposit. Further drilling is warranted to fully test the down-dip potential in the northeastern part of the Dry Creek deposit.

West Tundra Flat Drilling

Holes WT25-35 to WT25-38 were collared as 150-175 offsets from previously drilled holes in the West Tundra Flat Deposit (e.g., 1,079 g/t silver equivalent (417.4 g/t Ag, 0.74 g/t Au, 9.1% Zn, 4.7% Pb and 0.1% Cu) over 2.9 m in WT24-33, see November 21st, 2024 News Release). All holes except WT25-36 intersected semi-massive to massive sulfide at the targeted horizon (e.g. sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite at the contact between metavolcanics and metasediments of the Totatlanika Schist. The prospective contact is traced for ~800 m along the West Tundra Flat Deposit where it dips moderately to the south.

The VMS-related mineralization intersected in holes WT25-35, WT25-37 and WT25-38 represent 150m to 175m step outs from previously drilled holes. The mineralization intersected in these holes are outside of the current mineral resource estimated and suggest potential to contribute additional inferred tonnes to the block model.

Next Steps

Based on results from drill holes DC25-107 and 108 at Dry Creek and WT25-33 to 39 at West Tundra Flat together with observations from all holes (see October 1st, 2025 News Release) and ongoing geological modelling, multiple mineralized lenses and domains at both deposits remain open along strike and down-dip. Assays are pending from the remaining eight holes at Red Mountain.

The Hughes Drill Program

Over 3,700 m of combined reverse circulation and diamond drilling (RC pre-collars with diamond tails) in seven holes were completed along strike from the significant Ruby discovery, part of the eastern extension of the Tonopah Mining District, near Tonopah Nevada. The purpose of the exploration drill program was to test for mineralization across a 475 m untested gap between the Ruby discovery (e.g., SUM23-59 1,450 g/t silver equivalent* (8.41 g/t Au, 813 g/t Ag) over 3.0 m) and a significant mineralized vein discovered in hole SUM23-60 (392 g/t silver equivalent* (3.04 g/t Au, 147 g/t Ag) over 3.0 m, Figure 1). Program highlights include:

  • Drilling first consisted of a series of four step-out holes (e.g., SUM25-65, 66, 67, and 68, Figure 2) with pierce-points on 50 to 100 m centers from two pad setups. All four holes intersected zones of strong and pervasive epithermal-related argillic and phyllic alteration with local zones of mineralized quartz veining and vein-stockwork. Hole SUM24-65 intersected two mineralized vein zones 50 m apart within a broad >500 m zone of locally intense alteration – 221 g/t silver equivalent (1.22 g/t Au, 130 g/t Ag) over 0.6 m and 509 g/t silver equivalent (3.30 g/t Au, 252 g/t Ag) over 1.1 m (Table 1).

  • A north-south, 450m fence of three holes offset from hole SUM23-60 were drilled through the projected Ruby vein system. These holes were designed to test for potential parallel structures and the up- and down-dip extent of silver-gold mineralization intersected in SUM23-60. RC pre-collars were completed for the three holes (SUM25-69, 70 and 71) and holes SUM24-69 and 71 were completed with diamond tails (Figure 2). Hole SUM25-69, a 130m down-dip step-out from SUM23-60, intersected 190 g/t silver equivalent (1.12 g/t Au, 106 g/t Ag) over 1.8 m including 546 g/t silver equivalent (3.16 g/t Au, 306 g/t Ag) over 0.5 m. This hole intersected multiple broad zones of strong argillic-quartz alteration with polyphase quartz-pyrite veining.

The scale and intensity of the epithermal-related hydrothermal alteration observed in every hole demonstrates the potential scale and complexity of the Ruby system. All holes intersected significant zones of argillic-pyrite alteration punctuated by local zones of strong silicification, quartz-carbonate veins, poly-phase vein stockworks and breccia. The nature of the high-level alteration assemblages and textures may suggest proximity to a stronger mineralized system. Many of the intervals of strong alteration are associated with broad structural zones of faulting with increasing alteration near lithological boundaries. These structural and alteration relationships are observed across all previous holes into the Ruby target (e.g., SUM21-10 and SUM23-59) and suggests the Ruby system is broader and more complex than previously understood. Additional drilling is clearly warranted along this east-west trend as well as stepped back to the north, down-dip to better constrain the lateral and vertical extent of silver-gold mineralization.

Investor Insight

Prismo Metals’ high-grade silver and copper assets in Arizona, anchored by the Silver King project, offer investors exposure to near-surface polymetallic mineralization and large-system copper potential in a tier-one US jurisdiction, guided by an accomplished technical team. Prismo also retains strategic silver-gold leverage through its Palos Verdes joint program with Vizsla Silver in Mexico, creating a balanced portfolio designed for discovery and growth.

Overview

Prismo Metals (CSE:PRIZ,OTCQB:PMOMF,FSE:7KU) is a North American exploration company focused on advancing high-grade silver, gold and copper discoveries in Arizona, one of the world’s most productive and mining-friendly jurisdictions. The company’s projects, Silver King, Ripsey and Hot Breccia, position Prismo at the forefront of exploration in the Arizona Copper Belt, an area that hosts some of the largest copper deposits on Earth.

Prismo Metals

The historic Silver King mine produced nearly 6 million ounces of silver during the 1880s.

At the center of Prismo’s focus is the Silver King project, a historic silver mine adjacent to BHP and Rio Tinto’s giant Resolution Copper operation. Along with the nearby Ripsey Mine and Hot Breccia project, these assets form a complementary pipeline targeting both bonanza-grade gold and district-scale copper systems.

In Mexico, Prismo continues to advance its Palos Verdes project through a strategic partnership with Vizsla Silver, Prismo’s largest shareholder, providing investors exposure to one of the richest silver-gold districts in the Americas.

Prismo’s business strategy combines technical excellence, modern exploration technologies and disciplined capital allocation to advance near-term drilling and long-term discovery growth across its portfolio.

Company Highlights

  • Arizona-focused Exploration: Advancing a portfolio of high-grade silver, copper and gold projects – Silver King, Ripsey and Hot Breccia – in the heart of the Arizona Copper Belt.
  • Exceptional Grades and Momentum: Sampling at Silver King returned 619 g/t silver and 511 g/t silver, as well as 757 g/t silver, 1.5 percent copper, 6.7 percent lead, and 11.5 percent zinc from a newly identified polymetallic vein. An expanded 1,000-meter Phase 2 drill program is planned.
  • Strategic Land Position: Projects are surrounded by major producers, including BHP/Rio Tinto’s Resolution Copper and Freeport’s Christmas Mine, offering unmatched geological and infrastructure advantages.
  • AI-driven Copper Discovery: Hot Breccia, a large-scale copper-gold target, combines historic Kennecott and Phelps Dodge drilling with new ZTEM geophysics and AI-based drill targeting for a 5,000 m program.
  • Partnership Strength: In Mexico, Prismo maintains silver-gold exposure through its Palos Verdes project in collaboration with Vizsla Silver, which is also Prismo’s largest shareholder holding 6.1 percent ownership.
  • Tight Share Structure: With only 83.6 million shares outstanding, a market cap of $12.1 million (as of October 14th, 2025) and 28.7 percent insider and advisor ownership, Prismo’s management is closely aligned with shareholders

Key Projects

Silver King

The 125-hectare Silver King project lies entirely within the Resolution Copper claim block, about 3 km from the main Resolution shaft and 1 km from the historic Magma mine. Discovered in 1875, it produced roughly 6 million ounces of silver between 1875 and 1928 at grades up to 61 ounce per ton (oz/t) silver. Small-scale production in the 1990s returned up to 644 oz/t silver and 0.53 oz/t gold.

Recent sampling by Prismo confirmed strong silver-copper-lead-zinc mineralization, including 619 grams per ton (g/t) silver and 511 g/t silver from the Silver King shaft area, and 757 g/t silver, 1.5 percent copper, 6.7 percent lead, and 11.5 percent zinc from a newly identified polymetallic vein. The assay results for both silver and copper demonstrate the high-grade nature of the system.

Following these recent results, Prismo plans a second-phase drill program totaling approximately 1,000 meters to test new polymetallic and copper-bearing targets as well as a large replacement-style zone. The company has submitted a plan of operations for drilling to the US Forest Service, with additional site permits in progress.

Ripsey Mine

Located 20 km west of Hot Breccia and south of the Ray mine, the Ripsey mine covers 30 hectares of patented claims and hosts a historic gold-silver-copper vein system traced over 400 meters along strike and 160 meters vertically. The property saw limited production in the early 20th century and has never been explored with modern methods.

Sampling by Dr. Craig Gibson returned values up to 15.9 g/t gold and 275 g/t silver over 0.75 meters, confirming strong near-surface mineralization with significant expansion potential. Further surface exploration at Ripsey is planned..

Hot Breccia

The Hot Breccia Project, spanning 1,420 hectares, provides Prismo with large-scale copper-gold optionality in the heart of Arizona’s Copper Belt. The project is located 40 km south of Resolution Copper and 35 km north of the San Manuel-Kalamazoo deposit. It hosts the same productive units as Freeport’s nearby Christmas mine, which historically produced high-grade copper skarn ore.

Historic drilling by Kennecott and Phelps Dodge intersected copper-rich skarn mineralization, including 77 ft of 0.54 percent copper, 60 ft of 1.4 percent copper and 4.65 percent zinc, and 25 ft of 1.73 percent copper. A 2023 ZTEM survey and subsequent AI analysis identified a large conductive anomaly at depth, consistent with a porphyry copper system.

Located near major infrastructure, including highways, power, water and the Hayden smelter, Hot Breccia is Prismo’s largest-scale copper discovery opportunity.

Palos Verdes

The Palos Verdes project provides Prismo with strategic exposure to silver and gold in Mexico’s prolific Panuco-Copala district, where Vizsla Silver (TSXV:VZLA) is advancing a billion-dollar silver resource. Prismo’s concession sits at the northeastern end of the district and is fully surrounded by Vizsla’s ground.

To date, Prismo has drilled approximately 6,052 meters across 33 holes, identifying a near-surface, high-grade ore shoot within the Palos Verdes vein. Results include 102 g/t gold and 3,100 g/t silver (11,520 g/t silver equivalent over 0.5 m), comparable to some of the best intercepts in the district.

Future exploration will focus on deeper drilling and potential extensions of the vein system into adjacent Vizsla concessions, as guided by the joint Prismo-Vizsla technical committee chaired by Dr. Peter Megaw and Dr. Craig Gibson.

Investor Insight

Empire Metals (OTCQB:EPMLF, AIM:EEE) is unlocking one of the world’s largest and purest titanium deposits at its flagship Pitfield project in Western Australia. With growing global demand, a looming supply deficit, and near-term development milestones, Empire offers a compelling investment opportunity in the critical minerals space.

Overview

Empire Metals (OTCQB:EPMLF, AIM:EEE) is an Australian focused exploration and resource development company rapidly gaining international attention for its discovery and rapid development of what is believed to be the world’s largest titanium deposit.

View of Empire Metals

The company is focused on advancing its flagship asset, the Pitfield project, located in Western Australia, a tier 1 mining jurisdiction. With a dominant landholding of more than 1,000 sq km, and a titanium mineral system that spans 40 km in strike length, Pitfield is emerging as a district-scale “giant” discovery with the potential to reshape the global titanium supply landscape.

Empire Metals reported a maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) at the Pitfield Project in Western Australia, indicating one of the largest and highest-grade titanium resources reported globally, totalling 2.2 billion tonnes grading 5.1percent titanium dioxide (TiO2) for 113 million tonnes of contained TiO2

Empire’s strategic focus on titanium comes at a pivotal time. Titanium is officially recognized as a critical mineral by both the European Union and the United States, owing to its essential role in aerospace, defense, medical technologies, clean energy and high-performance industrial applications. Global demand for titanium dioxide — the most widely used form of titanium — is surging due to its unmatched properties as a pigment and as a feedstock for titanium metal. Titanium supply chains are also increasingly being constrained by geopolitical risks, mine depletion and environmental challenges associated with traditional production. More than 60 percent of the global supply chain is currently concentrated in a handful of countries, notably China and Russia, creating significant vulnerabilities for Western markets.

Empire Metals

Titanium has been designated as a critical mineral in both the EU and the US.

Against this backdrop, Empire Metals offers investors a compelling opportunity to gain exposure to a strategically vital metal through a large-scale, high-grade and clean titanium discovery. Unlike many traditional titanium sources, Pitfield’s mineralization is exceptionally pure — free from detrimental amounts of uranium, thorium, chromium and other contaminants — making it ideally suited for premium, high-purity end markets. Furthermore, the mineralized zone is near-surface and laterally extensive, allowing for low-strip and scalable bulk mining with conventional processing technologies.

With more than 22,000 meters of drilling already completed and only a fraction of the mineral system tested, Empire is aggressively advancing Pitfield towards a maiden JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate, targeted for H2-2025. Alongside this work, the company is also undertaking bulk sampling and metallurgical processing to advance flowsheet design and optimize product specifications. It is also engaging with industry players to assess product suitability for premium pigment and titanium sponge markets. Empire is planning to finalize, during the current calendar year, a mining study to evaluate the potential for a low-cost strip mining approach, utilizing continuous mining techniques.

The company is supported by a seasoned leadership team with deep expertise in exploration, resource development, mining, metallurgy and capital markets — ensuring that strategic decisions are guided by both technical excellence and a strong track record of value creation.

Key Projects

Pitfield Project – A World-Class Titanium Discovery

Located in Western Australia, the Pitfield project is Empire Metals’ flagship asset and represents one of the most exciting titanium discoveries globally. Spanning an area of approximately 1,042 sq km, the project has revealed a colossal mineral system measuring 40 km in length and up to 8 km in width, with geophysical indications of mineralization extending to at least a depth of 5 km.

Extensive drilling across the project has intercepted thick, laterally continuous zones of high-grade titanium dioxide mineralization, highlighting the system’s enormous scale and consistency.

The titanium at Pitfield occurs predominantly in the minerals anatase and rutile within a weathered, in-situ cap that begins at surface. These minerals are exceptionally pure, often exceeding 90 percent titanium dioxide. They are free from harmful amounts of contaminants like uranium, thorium, chromium and phosphorus — qualities that are likely to make the deposit uniquely suitable for premium, high-purity titanium applications in aerospace, defense and clean technologies.

Pitfield is strategically located near the town of Three Springs, approximately 150 km southeast of the port city of Geraldton. The project benefits from direct access to essential infrastructure, including sealed highways, rail lines and an available water supply. This connectivity significantly enhances development potential by reducing logistics costs and simplifying future project build-out. Moreover, the Western Australian government actively supports critical mineral development, and Empire is operating within a stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction known for streamlined permitting and investment security.

Empire has completed more than 22,000 meters of drilling, confirming standout titanium dioxide (TiO2) results such as 154 meters at 6.76 percent TiO2, 148 meters at 6.49 percent TiO2, and 150 meters at 6.44 percent TiO2. Notably, mineralization remains open at depth in all tested zones, and to date, only around 5 percent of the interpreted system has been drilled. This underscores the immense upside potential for resource expansion.

The project’s development advantages are equally compelling: the mineralization is near-surface and amenable to simple, bulk mining methods with conventional processing. Its location in a tier-one mining jurisdiction offers access to infrastructure, a skilled workforce and strong regulatory support.

Pitfield is advancing toward a maiden JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate, expected by H2-2025. The project is already being recognized as a potential cornerstone asset in the global titanium supply chain.

In August 2025, Empire Metals achieved a metallurgical breakthrough, confirming that conventional processing can deliver strong results. Testwork returned 77 percent recovery in the rougher stage, 90 percent in cleaning, and 98 percent titanium dissolution, for an overall 67 percent titanium recovery. The process produced a high-purity TiO₂ concentrate grading 99.25 percent with ~5 percent Fe₂O₃, supporting plans for a lower-cost pilot plant.

Empire Metals has announced a maiden JORC (2012)-compliant mineral resource estimate (MRE) for its Pitfield Project in Western Australia, confirming one of the world’s largest and highest-grade titanium resources. The MRE totals 2.2 billion tonnes at 5.1 percent titanium dioxide, containing 113 million tonnes of titanium dioxide, including a substantial Indicated Resource of 697 million tonnes at 5.3 percent titanium dioxide.

The resource, defined across the Thomas and Cosgrove deposits, represents less than 20 percent of the known mineralised area, highlighting significant expansion potential. Drilling at Thomas has outlined a continuous 3.6-kilometre high-grade core averaging about 6 percent titanium dioxide, supporting an initial mine life exceeding 30 years.

Other Projects

In addition to Pitfield, Empire Metals maintains a portfolio of early-stage exploration assets offering optionality and exposure to other strategic and precious metals. Empire holds interests in two Western Australian projects — the Walton and Eclipse gold projects — both situated in historically productive mineral belts. While these assets are not the current focus, they contribute exploration upside and optionality within the company’s broader strategy.
