Electrum outlines two Cu-Au anomalies at Timok East

ELECTRUM DISCOVERY CORP. IDENTIFIES ADDITIONAL COPPER-GOLD ANOMALIES AT THE TIMOK EAST PROJECT

Electrum Discovery Corp. has identified additional copper-gold anomalies on its Timok East project, located five kilometres east of Zijin Mining's world-class Bor copper-gold mining complex on the Western Tethyan belt in the Republic of Serbia.

Newly defined anomalies located two kilometres along structure and within the same units as the previously announced Bambino anomaly.

Several kilometres of on-structure strike between anomalies remain unexplored and sampling is ongoing.

Soil samples were collected over a 200 x 200-meter grid, infilling areas of anomalism identified by First Quantum Minerals' gridded soil sampling in 2019. Sampling extended and confirmed historic anomalies, resulting in the definition of two large copper-gold anomalies, located approximately 2.5 kilometres to the northwest and north of the Bambino anomaly (See Figure 1) , straddling the same regional fault and following the same group of Palaeozoic schists.

The Northwestern Anomaly measures approximately 1.2 kilometres long by 400 meters wide and shares a similar NW orientation and geochemical signature with Babmino, with peak assay values in the soil of 622 ppm Cu and 39 ppb Au (See Figure 2).

The Northern Anomaly is located approximately three kilometres to the north of Babmino, across a repeat sequence of fault-bound Palaeozoic schists. Copper-gold anomalous zones have been defined within several pods measuring up to 400 x 400 meters each, with peak assay grades of 468 ppm copper and 19 ppb in soils (See Figure 2).

Dr. Elena Clarici, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Electrum Discovery Corp., commented: "The identification of additional large copper-gold anomalies at Timok East is a highly encouraging development at this stage of exploration and underscores the project's potential for new discoveries.

These anomalies are in an area overlooked by historic exploration although still in vicinity of world class porphyry copper gold mines.

The presence of these anomalies within the same Palaeozoic schist units as Bambino suggests the potential for an extensive copper-gold mineralized system on the property. These results give us an excellent baseline for continuous systematic exploration to further define and develop these targets."

In addition to expanding the Bambino anomaly with further tightly spaced soil grids, the next phases of exploration will also focus on infilling the 200 x 200-meter soil grid to further define the orientation and extent of the northern anomalies. Additional grids are also planned to test the unexplored two-kilometre strike of fault-bound Palaeozoic schists between the northern and Bambino targets.

Sample Collection, QA/QC, Preparation and Analysis

Soil samples reported in this news release were collected from the B-horizon from a depth of between 15-40 centimetres. Each sample location was recorded using a Garmin handheld GPS with a nominal accuracy of 3 meters, and the location was then photographed with the labelled sample. Samples were prepared and analysed at SGS Bulgaria. Soil samples were dried and pulverized in their entirety, with 85% passing 75 microns. Samples were then analysed using a combination of four-acid digest with an ICP-MS finish (49 elements) and 50g fire assay with an ICP-MS finish for gold analysis (1-2000ppb). Samples were submitted in batches of 45, made up of 40 samples, two CRMs, two blanks, and one duplicate. QA/QC samples performed well, with all batches passing Company criteria.

Rock chip samples reported in this news release were prepared and analysed at SGS Serbia and Bulgaria. Samples were prepared by drying, (<3.0 kg), crushing to 75% passing 2 mm, 250g was then split and pulverized to 85% passing 75 mum. Samples were then analysed using a combination of four-acid digest with an ICP-MS finish (49 elements) and 50g fire assay with AAS finish for gold analysis (0.01-1000ppm). Samples were submitted in batches of 25, made up of 22 samples, one CRM, one blank, and one duplicate. QA/QC samples performed well and all batches passed predefined criteria.
