GRIZZLY PROVIDES EXPLORATION AND CORPORATE UPDATE AND ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Grizzly Discoveries Inc. has provided the following exploration and corporate update, and arranged a private placement offering for gross proceeds of up to $1-million.
Beaverdell exploration
Grizzly has recently conducted a small prospecting and sampling program near Beaverdell in order to satisfy some assessment requirements on some newly staked mineral claims in the Beaverdell area of the Greenwood district in British Columbia. These results from the sampling program conducted in the Beaverdell target area within the Greenwood precious and battery metals project will be disclosed once they are received.
Highlights:
- A total of 50 rock grab samples were collected from mostly outcrop and some mineralized dump material across the Beaverdell claims in July, 2025, including the newly acquired ground.
- Grizzly has x hectares in y mineral claims surrounding the historical Beaverdell mine.
- Grizzly's Beaverdell mineral claims surround and are adjacent to the historical Beaverdell mine, which produced approximately 34.5 million ounces of silver, 16,700 ounces of gold, 30.6 million pounds of zinc and 25.6 million pounds of lead between 1913 and 1991.
Motherlode Crown grant purchase agreement
On June 17, 2024, the company announced a purchase agreement with First Majestic Silver Corp. to acquire 13 historical Crown grants collectively known as the Motherlode Crown grants near Greenwood in B.C.
The company has been advised that, prior to completion of the acquisition, certain of the Crown grants have been forfeited to the Crown due to the non-payment of taxes. As a result, those specific Crown grants are no longer available for acquisition by the company under the terms of the purchase agreement.
Notwithstanding the forfeiture of certain Crown grants, Grizzly's mineral claims that overlap significant portions of areas covered by the Crown grants remain valid and in good standing. With the forfeited Crown grants now held by the Crown, no other third party can acquire superseding rights in respect of those areas, thereby enhancing the company's security of tenure on its overlapping mineral claims.
The company is evaluating its options with respect to the purchase agreement with First Majestic in light of this development.
Plans for fall 2025 exploration at Greenwood
Rock and soil sampling along with drilling at the Midway and Motherlode targets is being planned for fall 2025, depending upon financing. The results for the Beaverdell sampling will be announced as they become available. Additional results should be forthcoming over the next coming months as work progresses and will be presented in additional news releases.
Brian Testo, president and chief executive officer of Grizzly Discoveries, stated, "We are excited and are looking forward to pursuing a number of high-grade gold-silver-copper-lead-zinc showings and historical mines with drilling in the fall of 2025, along with additional exploration for significant battery metal prospects in our current 175,000-plus-acre landholdings in the Greenwood district. We have barely scratched the surface in terms of exploration!
"While we are disappointed that not all of the Crown grants are available for acquisition, this development ultimately provides greater security for our overlapping mineral claims. This ensures that our exploration plans in the Greenwood district can continue without the risk of competing Crown grant ownership. We will continue to work with First Majestic to assess the best path forward."

Quality assurance and quality control
Rock and soil samples are being analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (geochemistry division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited facility). Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic emission spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (plus 10 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au)). Rock grab and rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.
The sampling program was undertaken by company personnel under the direction of Michael B. Dufresne, MSc, PGeol, PGeo. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples.
The technical content of this news release and the company's technical disclosure has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Dufresne, who is a non-independent consultant and qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
