ETRUSCUS LAUNCHES INAUGURAL DRILL PROGRAM AT ZAPPA PORPHYRY TARGET IN GOLDEN TRIANGLE

Etruscus Resources Corp. has commenced its inaugural drill program at the Zappa target, a high-priority copper-gold porphyry prospect located on the company's 100-per-cent-owned Rock & Roll property in British Columbia's prolific Golden Triangle. The program represents a significant milestone as the company tests a hydrothermal system with significant discovery potential.

The program is scheduled to begin on July 15, 2025, and will consist of up to 2,000 metres of diamond drilling. The Zappa target is a geophysical and geochemical anomaly that provides many key markers of a copper-gold porphyry system and has never been drilled. The program is designed to test hydrothermal alteration and discrete chargeability anomalies with three to five drill holes planned across a 1.3-kilometre alteration zone (see Etruscus Resources' news release dated Feb. 19, 2025).

"We are extremely excited to commence our first ever drill program at the Zappa target," commented Fiore Aliperti, president and chief executive officer of Etruscus Resources. "In a region as well endowed as the Golden Triangle, it's exceptional to have an untested hydrothermal system with such compelling geological and geophysical signatures. The recent glacial retreat has provided us with greater access to previously hidden mineralization, and we believe Zappa represents one of the most promising copper-gold porphyry targets in the region. We look forward to sharing results with our shareholders as we unlock the potential of this property."

Key highlights:

• First ever drilling at Zappa target following extensive geophysical and geochemical surveys;
• Up to 2,000 metres of diamond drilling planned across three to five strategically positioned holes;
• 1.3-kilometre alteration zone with robust chargeability anomalies and surface mineralization;
• Located on the newly interpreted Bronson porphyry trend, near Seabridge Gold's active 8,000-metre drill program at Snip North (see Seabridge Gold's news release June 3, 2025);
• Glacier retreat has recently exposed previously inaccessible alteration zone.

Drilling will be conducted by ITL Diamond Drilling Ltd., based out of Smithers, B.C., with the drill rig arriving on site next week. The company holds all necessary permits and is ready to execute an efficient, well-co-ordinated campaign. Initial results are expected by early September to be released upon completion of interpretational work.

Property exploration

The program will also include surface exploration across several high-priority areas, involving geological mapping and rock sampling at select targets. This includes continued work on the newly identified Hendrix rare earth element target, where the team is delineating a large-scale critical mineral anomaly with the potential to host significant REE mineralization. Other key targets include the Kashmir molybdenum porphyry system and the Heather high-grade gold prospect.
