TORR METALS INTERSECTS EXTENSIVE HYDROTHERMAL BRECCIATION AND MULTI-STAGE VEINING AT BERTHA NORTH, ADVANCING CU-AU PORPHYRY MODEL

Torr Metals Inc. has provided a geological update from the company's fully financed phase 2 drill program of up to 6,000 metres at the Bertha North target, part of the 332-square-kilometre Kolos copper-gold project in Southern British Columbia.

The first drill hole (26-KO-01) has confirmed an extensive long-lived hydrothermal system down to an approximately 563-metre depth, with a highly prospective interval of an approximately 142-metre core length from 318.5 m to 460.9 m characterized by multiple generations of quartz-carbonate veining, crackle to hydrothermal brecciation and progressively increasing sericitic alteration intensity within a favourable volcanic host sequence crosscut by felsic intrusions. These observations represent an important step in refining the company's evolving geological model, which is targeting the intrusive source responsible for the large hydrothermal native copper system discovered during phase 1 drilling in late 2025.

Highlights:

• A first drill hole confirms a long-lived and evolving copper-gold hydrothermal system, recording early high-temperature magnetite plus or minus epidote alteration overprinted by repeated brittle fracturing, multiple pulses of quartz-carbonate veining, open-space (toothcomb) quartz growth, and later-stage alteration and oxidation, indicative of sustained mineralized fluid flow through structurally prepared corridor.
• Hydrothermal alteration and structural preparation intensify toward the interpreted porphyry feeder zone, transitioning from oxidized silicified volcanic rocks into increasingly epidote- and sericite-altered intervals characterized by stronger veining, brecciation and repeated structural reactivation.
• Systematic geological logging and pXRF screening identify successive hydrothermal events, with the most intensely altered and structurally prepared intervals corresponding to distinct multielement geochemical responses. Hematitic alteration persists to the end of the hole, approximately 400 m vertically below surface, largely obscuring primary sulphide textures. Where local fresh exposures occur, chalcopyrite and chalcocite are observed, supporting the interpretation of a long-lived copper-bearing hydrothermal system that is interpreted to represent a major structurally focused feeder zone, or main plumbing, within a porphyry copper-gold system, providing a key vector for continuing drill targeting.
• Magnetite-bearing veinlets and hydrothermal brecciation confirm early high-temperature fluid activity while brecciated volcanic host rocks demonstrate sustained permeability and repeated fluid circulation, consistent with long-lived copper Cu-Au porphyry systems.
• Observations continue to strengthen the company's intrusive source model, with the strongest veining, alteration, brecciation and magnetite development occurring along the transition between the magnetic-resistive domain and the adjacent chargeability anomaly, refining targeting toward the interpreted intrusive source.

"One of the greatest advantages of drilling a completely untested porphyry target is that every metre significantly derisks the geological model while advancing the potential for a brand new discovery," stated Malcolm Dorsey, president and chief executive officer. "While laboratory assays remain pending, the geology has been extremely encouraging. The progressive increase in hydrothermal brecciation, multistage veining, alteration, felsic intrusions and structural preparation at the transition between the resistive and chargeable geophysical domains is exactly what we expected to encounter within a major hydrothermal feeder corridor. Hole 26-KO-02 was designed as a follow-up to confirm the geometry of this interpreted feeder system, and we now believe it represents a direct connection to the porphyry intrusion driving the broader hydrothermal system. Subsequent drilling will also directly target the adjacent chargeability anomaly, which we believe may represent the intrusive source driving the hydrothermal system. We look forward to updating shareholders as drilling progresses and laboratory assays become available."

Geological discussion

Hole 26-KO-01 was designed to test both a coincident magnetic-resistive geophysical anomaly together with a bounding induced polarization chargeability anomaly identified during the company's 2026 geophysical program.

The upper portion of the hole intersected oxidized, silicified volcanic rocks containing localized felsic to felsic dikes before transitioning into an extensive sequence of fragmental to amygdaloidal volcanic rocks displaying progressively stronger hydrothermal textures.

Toward the interpreted boundary between the magnetic-resistive domain and the bounding chargeability anomaly, drill core exhibits:

• Multiple generations of quartz-carbonate vein networks;
• Crackle to hydrothermal brecciation;
• Pervasive epidote plus or minus sericite alteration;
• Localized magnetite veinlets and fracture infill;
• Repeated brittle reactivation and fluid pathways.

The company interprets the observed succession of hydrothermal textures, including repeated quartz veining, hydrothermal brecciation, evolving epidote-to-sericite alteration, localized magnetite veining and multiple episodes of brittle reactivation as being consistent with an increasingly focused hydrothermal conduit, supporting interpretation as a structurally controlled feeder zone with features consistent with a large porphyry copper-gold system.

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 optioned 57-square-kilometre 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-kilometre 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.
