GSP Resource Corp. Corporate Update
News Release - Vancouver, British Columbia - October 31, 2025: GSP Resource Corp. (TSX-V: GSPR / FSE: 0YD / OTC: GSRCF) (the "Company" or "GSP") announces that its Mer project permitting process has resumed following the resolution of the BCGEU strike action. The company announced on March 3, 2025 that it prepared a draft 5-year multi-year area based (MYAB) permit application in preparation for submission to the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Metals ("BC MMCM") with respect to the Mer Property in the Highland Valley Copper Camp of British Columbia.
The Mer application was submitted on May 6, 2025, and was subject to BC MMCM review and revised August 21, 2025, prior to initiation of the broader government referral period projected to be August 25, 2025, through September 25, 2025.
The Mer Property comprises 185 hectares in the Kamloops Mining Division, located approximately 1.5 km NW of GSP's Alwin Mine Project and are surrounded by Teck Resource's Highland Valley Copper claim group directly west and south of the Highland Valley Copper Mine's active operations Mineralization present within Teck Resources Highland Valley Operations is not necessarily indicative of GSP Resources Corp. properties.
(Figure 1). The Mer Property hosts a copper exploration target zone located NW of the Company's Alwin Mine High grade copper-silver-gold target zone.
The permit application describes the details of an initial year-one diamond drilling program, followed by permitting sufficient surface disturbance to support anticipated expansion diamond drilling within the following four years of the permit. The Property is well accessed via existing logging roads that traverse the proposed drilling area where prior logging activities and excavator trenching has exposed a zone of copper mineralization at surface (Figure 2).
About the Mer Claims:
The Mer Claims were the subject of intensive exploration by the Cleveland Ming & Smelting Co. Ltd. between the years 1965 and 1971. During that time exploration within the current Mer and surrounding claims now held by Teck Highland Valley Copper Corporation comprised geochemical and IP/resistivity geophysical surveys, geologic mapping, bulldozer trenching, completion of 16 percussion drill holes totaling 610 metres (m), and a single 150 m diamond drill hole targeting the Mer showing.
Percussion and diamond drilling were reported to define a 70 x 120 metre northeast trending porphyry copper-molybdenum zone characterized by disseminated chalcocite, chalcopyrite, bornite and molybdenite mineralization and associated biotite and sparse potassic alteration.
At the Mer showing, historical percussion drill holes 1, 3, 15, and 16, forming a 70 x 40 m diamond pattern in plan returned values of 9 m averaging 0.47% copper (Cu); 30 m averaging 0.53% Cu; 15 m averaging 0.50% Cu; and 21 m averaging 0.51% Cu All drill holes are assumed to be vertical, and the true width of mineralization it unknown.
respectively, commencing at downhole depths ranging from 6 to 18 m.
A single diamond drill hole was centered on the percussion drill holes and intersected a zone of chalcocite mineralization within biotite and potassic altered granodiorite intrusive rocks averaging 0.29% Cu over 24 m from a downhole depth of 9 m. The zone of mineralization remains open to the north and west.
No significant exploration has been reported within this project since the initial work programs ending in the early 1970's. Given the presence of drill confirmed porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralization, a location 6 kilometers west of the Valley Pit at Teck Resource Limited's Highland Valley Copper Operations, and its position with the Chataway and Guichon granodiorite phases of the Guichon Batholith the Mer Project is a high priority for follow up exploration.
