Beyond Minerals visits Owl Creek site

BEYOND OBSERVES EXTENSIVE MALACHITE MINERALIZATION AT OWL CREEK SITE VISIT

Beyond Minerals Inc. has made a successful technical site visit to the Owl Creek project, located approximately 30 minutes north of Pemberton, B.C. The visit focused on verifying historical work, evaluating surface mineralization and the footprint of the porphyry system, and finalizing the exploration plan.

The technical team was able to access most the property through logging roads, with detailed observations made across the central portion of the project, including the Zone C that was previously drilled in 1971 with 10 diamond drill holes (Seraphim, 1971). The visit confirmed multiple indicators of a strongly altered and mineralizing system.

Allan Frame, chief executive officer of Beyond, commented: "The Owl Creek site visit has strengthened our confidence in the scale and quality of the Owl Creek system. The team's observations confirm the historical work and highlight clear opportunities to advance the project through systematic mapping, sampling and potential targeted drilling. We look forward to executing the 2026 program and continuing to build value for our shareholders."

Site visit highlights:

  • Extensive malachite mineralization observed on surface, particularly within the C zone, confirming the presence of a continuous copper-bearing system:
    • Based on current geological interpretation, Zone C measures approximately 1,000 metres in strike length and 300 metres in width, and remains open in all directions and connects with Zone D;
  • Pervasive phyllic alteration characterized by sericite-silica-pyrite demonstrating a strong hydrothermal alteration footprint:
    • Further mapping and sampling to refine the vectoring toward the Potassic alteration zone, the hotter part of the system;
  • Multiphase stockwork and veining relationship, indicating repeated pulses of mineralizing fluids and structural preparation in the host rock;
  • A larger diorite intrusion footprint than previously mapped;
  • Successful relocation of historical drill sites.

Owl Creek project background

Including the recently approved claim staked in March, 2026, the Owl Creek project now encompasses a total of 3,522 hectares in area. The project is situated near the town of Pemberton, a small but fast-growing community located in the upper Lillooet River Valley. The town of Pemberton provides essential services and expanding infrastructure that support exploration activities in the region.

The Owl Creek project lies within the Cascade magmatic arc, a continental-margin arc system extending more than 1,200 kilometres from northern California into southwestern British Columbia (Hildreth, 2007). The Cascade arc hosts numerous Miocene-aged intrusive zones associated with porphyry styled copper-molybdenum and copper-gold mineralization, making it a regionally significant for porphyry exploration.

Exploration at Owl Creek began in the early 1910s, with multiple operators conducting programs that include soil geochemical surveys, geophysical surveys, surface mapping and diamond drilling (Goldsmith, 2013). Collectively, the historical work establishes a comprehensive baseline data set that will support Beyond's coming systematic geochemical, mapping and drill-targeting programs in the next couple of months.

Coming exploration plan

Beyond Minerals' 2026 field program at Owl Creek will refine and enhance the geological model and delineating potential drill targets. The coming work will focus on systematic surface sampling, minerals and alteration zonation mapping, and application for diamond drilling:

  1. Systematic geochemical sampling and detailed geological mapping at Zone C:
    1. The 2026 program will begin with a focused geochemical and geological work at Zone C:
      1. The systematic sampling and mapping program will establish geochemical (minerals and alteration) vectoring to refine and delineate drill-ready targets within Zone C.
  2. Prospecting of the expansion zone (Zone E) and the zones A, B and D:
    1. The objectives of prospecting zones A, B and D are to confirm geochemical and alteration signatures consistent with Zone C, expanding the overall porphyry footprint of the project.
    2. Zone E sits along the main structural trend of the Owl Creek project where historical work mapped numerous mineralized diorite and volcanic outcrops for follow-up work (Rayner and Witherly, 1975).
  3. Notice of work application for potential drilling:
    1. Beyond Minerals will prepare to submit a notice of work application to provincial regulators to apply for a potential drilling program.

Equity award grant

The company has granted 1.5 million incentive stock options to certain consultants of the company. The options shall vest in four equal tranches of 25 per cent each on Oct. 22, 2026, Jan. 22, 2027, April 22, 2027, and July 22, 2027, respectively. Each option, upon vesting, is exercisable to acquire one common share in the capital of the company at an exercise price of five cents per share for a period of two years from the date of grant, expiring on July 22, 2028.

All grants of options are subject to the company's omnibus equity incentive plan, which was reapproved by shareholders at the company's annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on Dec. 18, 2025. A copy of the equity incentive plan is included in the company's management information circular in respect of the meeting dated Nov. 10, 2025, available on the company's profile on SEDAR+.
