KERMODE REPORTS THIRD BATCH OF XRF RESULTS FOR 911 SHOWING AT MOUNT SICKER
Kermode Resources Ltd. has released the results of XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis of surface
samples from the 911 showing area at the Mount Sicker project. This news release
reports the results for 11 samples, with detailed descriptions provided in attached tables.
The sampling methodology for this batch of results entails additional selective sampling
at the 911 showing covering an area of approximately 60 metres, and selective
sampling of a new area approximately one kilometre along strike at a slightly lower
elevation.
All samples were collected by Justin Deveault and Justin McNutt from 911
Exploration Corp.
Qualified person
The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by
Robert Carrington, professional geologist and professional engineering geologist, a
qualified person responsible for the scientific and
technical information contained herein under National Instrument 43-101 standards. Mr.
Carrington is not independent of Kermode, as he has optioned the Tonya project and
the Rye Patch project in Nevada to Kermode and conducted exploration work under a
shares-for-services basis.
Quality assurance/quality control statement
The results reported herein were prepared by using an Olympus Delta portable XRF
(model DS 6500CC) using industry-standard chain-of-custody procedures with all
samples. The XRF operator, named Kelly Funk, completed the XRF analysis in October,
2024. Mr. Funk is not independent of Kermode, as he is part of the vendor group for the
property purchase option agreement on Mount Sicker and other projects, plus he is
compensated under a shares-for-services agreement for the costs of the XRF analysis.
The XRF was calibrated prior to each test. 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
analyzes only a small portion of the sample, so half the sample was crushed to pass an
80-mesh screen before testing. During analysis of the samples by hand-held XRF,
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 using the method described herein.
The portable XRF is accurate to within a 5-per-cent error for copper content. The company did not use
the portable XRF to determine accurate readings for other elements.
