Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 26, 2026) - Blade Resources Inc. (CSE: AZCU) (FSE: C3M) (the "Company" or "Blade") is pleased to announce that it has expanded the property-wide Magnetotelluric ("MT") geophysical survey at its Hot Breccia project ("Hot Breccia") in Arizona's porphyry copper province. Based on positive preliminary results generated by the Company's contractor, Moombarriga Geoscience ("Moombarriga"), the survey has been expanded from 62 to approximately 86 stations. The preliminary results build on anomalies identified by the 2023 ZTEM survey and provide greater detail and ground control. Additional locations have been selected to extend the area of dense 500-metre station coverage and to refine previously unidentified geophysical targets in underexplored areas of the property.

"Preliminary results from the MT survey have exceeded the expectations of both Moombarriga and our team. In response, we expanded the survey to better define the historic ZTEM anomalies and the newly generated anomalies. The additional data will strengthen our geological model, improve drill targeting, and clarify the relationships among the geophysical targets. We will continue the survey while we eagerly await the final data," stated Mike Blady, Chief Executive Officer of Blade.

About Blade Resources Inc.

Blade Resources Inc. is a Canadian exploration company focused on the development of the Hot Breccia project, an emerging copper-gold porphyry located near Hayden Arizona, USA. Hot Breccia's 227 unpatented mining claims lay in the heart of the Arizona porphyry copper province, within sight of the Hayden Copper Smelter (Asarco) and Freeport's Christmas Mine. Historic exploration on the property conducted by Bear Creek Mining (then a Kennecott subsidiary), in a venture with Conoco Inc., from 1972 through 1981 discovered substantial porphyry copper skarn mineralization in multiple drill holes and confirmed the presence of a large, mineralized, Laramide age porphyry; with the grade and tonnage yet to be determined.
