KERMODE REPORTS XRF RESULTS FOR SELECT SAMPLES FROM BATTERY RIDGE

Kermode Resources Ltd. has released the results of XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis of select surface samples from the Battery Ridge area at the Mount Sicker project.

Exploration contractor Justin Deveault commented: "The Battery Ridge zone looks similar to other stringer zones below volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits in general and looks similar to the footwall at the 911 zone at the Mount Sicker project in particular. Next to the zinc occurrence documented in sample BR5, we uncovered a band of malachite-stained, pyrite-bearing chert. Historical drilling in this area hit the sulphide stringers and schists going uphill for approximately one kilometre in what is historically called the Postuk-Fulton zone, but it appears to have not been followed downhill. We believe this area is a good candidate for trenching and geophysics as bedrock is shallow. We have completed two holes in this area using the backpack drill as described in the video titled 'Battery Ridge Zinc Showing On Mount Sicker,' one of which is 4.25 metres and the other is 5.3 metres, which we have not yet assayed. The drilled and sampled widths are not indicative of true thickness of the mineralized zone."

Quality assurance/quality control statement

The results reported here were prepared by using an Olympus Delta portable XRF unit (model DS 6500CC) using industry-standard chain-of-custody procedures with all samples. The XRF operator, named Clive Khan, is independent of Kermode and completed the XRF analysis in October, 2024.

The XRF unit was calibrated prior to each test as follows. At each start-up, a calibration coin was analyzed, and subsequent analysis was only performed when a pass was obtained, which was calculated internally by the XRF instrument. The XRF unit was set to geochemical mode and a full 200-second test was run to determine copper content. While the instrument detects many elements, only copper was tested. The XRF unit analyzes only a small portion of the sample, so half the sample was crushed to pass an 80-mesh screen before testing. During analyses of the samples by a hand-held XRF unit, non-blind control samples were analyzed to monitor the XRF instrument calibration and performance. A correction factor for all base metals was applied to the raw data. The correction factor was determined by analyzing samples that had previously been analyzed at a commercial laboratory. These rock samples were of varying concentrations and analyzed by the hand-held XRF unit using the method described herein. The portable XRF unit is accurate to within a 5-per-cent error for copper content. The company did not use the portable XRF unit to determine accurate readings for other elements.
