Imperial Drilling Intersects 162.5 Metres Grading 0.33% Copper and 1.64 g/t Silver at Whiting Creek - Seite 2

Copper, molybdenum, and silver mineralization occurs in all the holes reported in this news release. The first four holes CW-23-01, CW-23-02, CW-23-03B, and CW-23-04 tested Creek Zone West located about 450 metres west of Creek Zone. Drilling at Creek Zone West targeted overlapping geophysical and geochemical anomalies, and the northwestern covered contact between the Whiting Creek Stock and the surrounding Telkwa Formation volcanics. The fifth hole, CW-23-05, was drilled about 75 metres west of the Creek Zone drill hole WC2016-02 and intersected Whiting Creek intrusive for the entire length of the hole.

While historic drill holes in the Creek Zone intersected copper and molybdenum within the Whiting Creek Stock, intercepts from 2023 drilling confirm that the surrounding altered volcanics can host significant copper, molybdenum and silver mineralization.
