NOVARED MINING IDENTIFIES COPPER-GOLD-PLATINUM OPPORTUNITY AT THE WILMAC COPPER-GOLD PROJECT USING ITS PROPRIETARY METALCORE AI PLATFORM

Novared Mining Inc. has released the results of public data compilation concerning the Wilmac copper-gold project that was generated using MetalCore, the company's proprietary artificial-intelligence mineral exploration platform. MetalCore's assessment of the project integrated 10 mineral occurrences, data regarding past production, approximately 19 assessment reports filed between 1968 and 2025, together with 38 regional geochemical samples and a regional aeromagnetic field survey into a single prioritized target set.

"Even at this preliminary stage of development, MetalCore is providing alternative insights that complement traditional exploration frameworks. Although the output that this platform provides is preliminary, we are encouraged that MetalCore is already highlighting aspects of prior exploration for discussion and evaluation," said Brian Goss, chief executive officer of Novared Mining. "It adds a meaningful new dimension to the Wilmac story and it's a strong proof point for this platform as we look to apply it elsewhere."

MetalCore identifies a platinum dimension on Wilmac project

MetalCore identified a platinum group element signal across the claims comprising the Wilmac project, which broadens the company's prior copper-gold thesis, and noted the following:

• The Whipsaw Creek placer (B.C. Minfile 092HSE236) within the Trojan-Condor block is a past producer of gold and platinum, operated intermittently between 1887 and 1935, with approximately 3,460 grams (111.24 troy ounces) of recorded gold production, with platinum present but unquantified;
• The Polaris 16 occurrence (092HSE117) is classified as both porphyry Cu (copper) plus or minus Mo (molybdenum) plus or minus Au (gold) and Alaskan-type Pt (platinum) plus or minus Os (osmium) plus or minus Rh (rhodium) plus or minus Ir (iridium) -- a direct platinum-group signature on plutonic rocks;
• The platinum signal is interpreted to be spatially supported by geophysics: the Whipsaw placer sits on a 300 nT aeromagnetic high, and the Trojan-Condor block carries the strongest regional magnetic high of the three (plus 10 to plus 456 nT, average plus 212 nT), an interpreted magnetite-rich signature similar to that associated with the nearby Tulameen mafic-ultramafic complex, an Alaskan-type composite intrusion interpreted as the predominant source of placer platinum in the Tulameen River and several of its tributaries.

Company-identified target remains a top priority

MetalCore's regional evaluation supports the geological setting around the company's strongest previously reported copper-in-soil anomaly and identifies it as a key target for potential mineralization. The maximum 1,125 ppm (parts per million) copper value on the North Lamont grid, first disclosed in the company's news release dated May 13, 2026, is one of a number of moderately to highly anomalous soils samples taken along the extensive forestry road network.
