HISPANIA RESOURCES ANNOUNCES PERMIT EXTENSION AND DRILLING PROGRAM AT PUEBLA DE LA REINA PROPERTY
Hispania Resources Inc. has received an extension on its high-grade base metal deposit, Herrerias, permit No. 06C12785-00, from the Junta de Extremadura. Located in Puebla de la Reina, Spain, the property is a high-grade copper-zinc deposit, with a recorded National Instrument 43-101 report filed.
"We are extremely pleased that the government has confirmed our extension request. In collaboration with the supportive local government and stakeholders, the government of Extremadura, and other parties. We know that a time when critical minerals deposits in the European Union need to be developed, there is much work to do by all government agencies, and we thank Extremadura and the mayor of Puebla de la Reina and the people of the town for their support to get this extension", noted chief executive officer Norman Brewster.
As a follow-on to this extension, the company is pleased to announce that it has laid out a drilling program for the property. The drill program will investigate the existing mineralized zone plus an additional geophysical target area that was newly outlined. The existing zone consists of 500,000 tonnes of Kuroko-style copper, zinc, lead volcanic-hosted massive sulphide mineralization at grades of 11 per cent Zn, 1.60 per cent Cu, 1.2 per cent lead and 32 parts per million silver.
The company is seeking to extend this zone as it was last drilled in 2000. Recent geophysical works indicate that extensions are possible. A new zone of interest shown by geophysics and surface valuation lies on the permitted property to the northwest of the existing mineralization, which has not been drilled. The company expects work to be carried out over the next four weeks and will analyze work while at site.
"Further to the extension, getting work progressing in Puebla has been a goal for the company. The local stakeholders have been extremely supportive and are keen to see mining work continue to develop in the region. We are also keen to explore an additional zone that we have examined in our work, and was referred to us by previous groups that had worked at the site dating back to the 1980s, when zinc and copper prices were not as conducive as they are today."
Core from the initial 500,000-tonne zone was previously assayed and reported by the company to confirm the high grades.
Lastly, Hispania announces its intention to adopt the policies outlined in the semi-annual financial reporting pilot program utilizing the exemptions provided under Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 (Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers).
The SAR pilot program is implemented under the blanket order, which allows eligible venture issuers to voluntarily move from quarterly to semi-annual financial reporting. By adopting the SAR pilot program, Hispania aims to reduce the administrative and financial burden associated with quarterly reporting.
Hispania will not file interim financial statements and related management's discussions and analyses for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2026, and three-month period ending Sept. 30, 2026. Hispania will continue to file audited annual financial statements and MD&A (due within 120 days of June 30) and six-month interim financial statements and MD&A (due within 60 days of Dec. 31).
Hispania confirms it meets the SAR pilot program's eligibility criteria, which include being a venture issuer with annual revenues of less than $10-million and maintaining a clean 12-month continuous disclosure record. The company remains committed to timely disclosure and will continue to report all material changes and significant developments as required under National Instrument 51-102 (Continuous Disclosure Obligations).
This news release is being filed pursuant to the blanket order.
Norman Brewster, PGeo (PGO 0613), has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release.
