Torr extends drilling at Bertha copper-gold target

TORR METALS ANNOUNCES DRILL UPDATE: ADVANCING TOWARD 2,800 M AND EXPANDING STRIKE POTENTIAL AT BERTHA

Torr Metals Inc. has completed approximately 2,100 metres (m) of diamond drilling with seven drill holes at the Bertha target, within the company's 332-square-kilometre Kolos copper-gold project in south-central British Columbia. Drilling has targeted a prominent moderate-chargeability induced polarization (IP) geophysical anomaly, identified as a supergene oxidation horizon, along with an adjacent highly prospective conductivity-chargeability contact zone, where a picrite unit forms the footwall to the oxidation horizon. Assay results are pending, with holes 25-KO-01 through 25-KO-06 currently submitted to the laboratory.

Importantly, this chargeability-conductivity contact is exposed at surface within the historical Bertha exploration pit, which reported 30 tonnes at 2.14 per cent copper (Cu) from limited past production consisting of native copper (Cu) and chalcocite mineralization. Torr recently confirmed the copper-rich potential of this contact zone through a rock grab sample assaying 16.9 per cent Cu (see Aug. 13, 2025, news release).

In addition to the broad chargeability anomaly, the company interprets this contact as a major redox and structural interface that served as a focal point for hydrothermal supergene copper mineralization, a geological setting analogous to the upper levels of the New Afton copper-gold mine, located approximately 28 kilometres to the north-northeast.

Drill targets highlights:

  • Chargeability anomaly indicates scale potential and strong structural controls: The overall geometry of the chargeability anomaly appears controlled by the contact with the footwall picrite unit, identified by its strong conductivity. The orientation of this contact shifts from a northwest dip in the southeastern portion of the anomaly (tested by holes 25-KO-01 to 03) to a north to northeast dip within the western portion (tested by holes 25-KO-04 to 07).
  • Highly prospective redox and structural trap: The contact between a reducing picrite and an oxidized intrusive-volcanic complex defines a prime redox boundary where copper-bearing fluids are reduced to produce native copper and chalcocite, a key process observed within supergene environments such as at the Bertha exploration pit and New Afton.
  • Drill testing confirms depth and orientation of targeted system: Torr has drilled across the moderate dips of the chargeability anomaly and picrite boundary in both the northern and southern areas to depths greater than 400 vertical metres. Hole 25-KO-07 is advancing to greater depth to evaluate potential down-dip extensions of the main system. Additionally, a greater than 300-metre stepout to the west at the Bertha South occurrence is planned to test the along strike and down-plunge extensions of the chargeability anomaly.

Malcolm Dorsey, president and chief executive officer, commented: "With approximately 2,100 metres drilled at Bertha and plans to extend the program to 2,800 metres, we are steadily defining a system that exhibits strong comparisons to the redox and structural framework that is described at the nearby New Afton copper-gold mine. Having now completed drilling across the initial width of the target area, our focus shifts to a major stepout to the west to evaluate the down-plunge and dip extent of the system beyond 500 metres. The presence of high-grade copper at surface in the Bertha exploration pit highlights the importance of testing both the picrite contact and the adjoining large, structurally controlled chargeability system to depth, further emphasizing Bertha's potential as a significant hydrothermal-supergene copper-gold target."

Geological interpretation

Oxidation of primary sulphides at the Bertha exploration pit is interpreted to have produced copper-bearing fluids that migrated downward and laterally until encountering iron-rich picrite lenses and the cohesive picrite footwall. At these redox boundaries, copper was reduced and reprecipitated as native copper (Cu) and chalcocite (Cu2S), concentrating along the picrite contacts.

The conductive picrite likely acted as both a chemical trap and a relatively impermeable structural barrier, focusing mineralization along its contact with adjacent intrusive rocks and Nicola Group volcanics. In addition, hydrothermal-magmatic veining and brecciation associated with a sulphide-bearing intrusive pulse may have further concentrated mineralization within, and along the base of, the oxidized lithological contact between the picrite and Nicola volcanic units, enhancing permeability, fluid flow and copper deposition within the system.

Oct. 31, 2025, private placement finders' fees

Further to its news release dated Oct. 31, 2025, the company wishes to clarify that it paid a total of $214,783 in cash to arm's-length finders and issued an aggregate of 1,138,297 non-transferable share purchase warrants to eligible finders, on the same terms as the unit warrants.

Quality assurance and control

Results from samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (geochemistry division) in Kamloops, 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 25-gram 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.

About Torr Metals Inc.

Torr Metals, headquartered in Edmonton, Alta., is focused on unlocking new copper and gold discovery potential within proven, highly accessible mining districts across Canada, areas with both established infrastructure and a growing need for near-term feed. Torr's 100-per-cent-owned, district-scale assets are strategically located for cost-effective, year-round exploration and development. The 275-square-kilometre Kolos copper-gold project and strategically option 57 square km Bertha property, situated in Southern British Columbia's prolific Quesnel Terrane, lies just 30 km southeast of the Highland Valley copper mine, Canada's largest open-pit copper operation, and 40 km south of the city of Kamloops directly along Highway 5. In Northern Ontario, the 261 square km Filion gold project covers a virtually unexplored greenstone belt with high-grade orogenic gold potential. It sits just off the Trans-Canada Highway 11, approximately 42 km from Kapuskasing and 202 km by road from the Timmins mining camp, home to world-class operations like Hollinger, McIntyre and Dome.
