PTX METALS ADVANCES SHINING TREE GOLD PROJECT WITH START OF DRILLING AT PRIORITY RONDA TARGET

PTX Metals Inc. is advancing the next phase of its exploration activities at the Shining Tree project, located south of Timmins in Ontario's gold belt, with drilling now under way at the priority Ronda target.

The program follows several years of technical work that has strengthened the company's understanding of the property's geological potential and identified multiple opportunities to expand known gold and base metal mineralization within a broader emerging district-scale exploration corridor.

The Ronda target is considered a priority drill location and will follow up on the previously sampled, 2024 trench program that returned up to 60.30 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 1.0 metre and an average of 9.0 g/t gold over 16.0 metres of continuous channel sampling subparallel to the mineralized corridor. The phase 1 program consists of approximately 1,250 metres of diamond drilling (six holes) designed to test the Ronda target at depth and along strike.

"The Ronda target represents one of the most compelling near-term opportunities within our Shining Tree portfolio," said Greg Ferron, president and chief executive officer of PTX Metals. "This program is designed to test the continuity of high-grade mineralization while continuing to build our understanding of a broader mineralized corridor in one of Ontario's most prospective gold districts. With existing infrastructure, strong regional exploration activity and multiple targets across the property, we believe Shining Tree offers significant discovery and growth potential."

Alongside drilling, the company will continue advancing regional target generation efforts aimed at identifying additional zones of mineralization across the property and supporting long-term growth potential within the district where historic copper mineralization of 3.93 per cent copper and 71.2 g/t silver was discovered.

Recent geological mapping, sampling and structural interpretation work have significantly enhanced PTX's understanding of the mineralized system at Shining Tree. The work has highlighted the importance of the Ridout-Tyrrell deformation zone (RTDZ), a major regional structure associated with several significant gold deposits in the district and has generated a growing pipeline of exploration targets beyond Ronda.

The RTDZ hosts significant deposits, including the Juby deposit and Cote gold mines, and is located within the rapidly developing yet underexplored Shining Tree district of the southern Abitibi greenstone belt.

The Ronda target has been diligently mapped and sampled by PTX's technical team and coincides with the historical underground Ronda mine. Limited exploration work has been conducted since the surface acquisition by PTX from Alamos Gold, until PTX's recent activities.

Surface sampling program

Concurrently with the diamond drilling program, the company is launching a soil sampling program over the four recently identified targets, most of which are situated along the newly recognized structural RTDZ corridor. The program will include approximately 1,000 samples and is designed to systematically refine these mineralized zones and support the identification of larger-scale potential across the project. Access to the northwestern target has improved significantly in recent years due to the development of new logging roads. The program is designed to target the interpreted main break and associated splays of the Rideout-Tyrell deformation zone in the northwestern and R-Break extentsion target areas.
