TORR METALS COMPLETES INITIAL DRILLING AT BERTHA, OUTLINING A LARGE-SCALE SUPERGENE SYSTEM IN SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA

Torr Metals Inc. has completed demobilization and 2,733 metres of diamond drilling within eight drill holes at the Bertha target, within the company's 332-square-kilometre Kolos copper-gold project in south-central British Columbia. Drilling has tested approximately 400 metres of strike length and nearly 900 metres of down plunge extent across a moderate-chargeability induced polarization geophysical anomaly. This anomaly reflects strongly oxidized volcanic and intrusive host rocks, interspersed with shattered picrite, which provides critical local redox boundaries that enhance precipitation of supergene mineralization from copper-bearing fluids.

This first ever drilling program on the Bertha IP chargeability target was designed to evaluate the strike, downdip and down plunge continuity of the supergene system, which is confirmed to extend with strong structural controls to greater than 580-metre vertical depth.

The goal of this first ever drill program was to evaluate the geological context and assess the potential scale of a supergene system potentially comparable with the nearby New Afton copper-gold mine, located approximately 28 kilometres to the north-northeast. At New Afton, supergene mineralization typically extends to depths of 400 to 500 metres in the western portion of the orebody and continues beyond a 600-metre depth along major long-lived fault and fracture corridors, with the picrite contact serving as a critical structural lithological boundary, an important control that is likewise well defined at the Bertha target (see Nov. 19, 2025, news release).

Malcolm Dorsey, president and chief executive officer, commented: "The completion of 2,733 metres of drilling across eight drill holes at Bertha represents a major milestone for Torr and has significantly strengthened our confidence in the scale and geological setting of this newly recognized supergene system. We have now confirmed more than 400 metres of strike and close to 900 metres of down plunge continuity of the system along a strongly structurally controlled corridor, an exceptional outcome for a first-pass drill program. With assays pending for all eight holes, we are eager to share the geological context and clarity that these results will bring to the market as they begin to roll out over the coming months. With full funding for an additional 6,000 metres, Torr plans to return to Bertha following analysis in late Q1 or early Q2 2026 to continue advancing what we believe has the potential to become a significant brand new copper-gold discovery in the region."

Granting of options

The company has granted a total of 3.5 million incentive stock options to directors, officers and consultants. The incentive stock options are subject to a four-month hold period and may be exercised at a price of 21 cents per common share for a period of five years from the date of grant, subject to the terms of the company's 10-per-cent rolling stock option plan and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Quality assurance and control

Results from samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (geochemistry division) in Kamloops, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 accredited facility). A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. At ALS, the samples were digested using aqua regia and analyzed by ICP-MS and ICP-AES using a 25-gram sample aliquot under the ALS code AuME-TL43. The company follows industry standard procedures for the work carried out on the Kolos project. Due to the reconnaissance nature of the soil sampling, the company relied on the internal quality assurance/quality control measures of ALS. Torr Metals detected no significant QA/QC issues during review of the data.

About Torr Metals Inc.

Torr Metals, headquartered in Edmonton, Alta., is focused on unlocking new copper and gold discovery potential within proven, highly accessible mining districts across Canada, areas with both established infrastructure and a growing need for near-term feed. Torr's 100-per-cent-owned, district-scale assets are strategically located for cost-effective, year-round exploration and development. The 275-square-kilometre Kolos copper-gold project and strategically optioned 57-square-kilometre Bertha property, situated in Southern British Columbia's prolific Quesnel terrane, lies just 30 km southeast of the Highland Valley copper mine, Canada's largest open-pit copper operation, and 40 km south of the city of Kamloops directly along Highway 5. In Northern Ontario, the 261-square-kilometre Filion gold project covers a virtually unexplored greenstone belt with high-grade orogenic gold potential. It sits just off the Trans-Canada Highway 11, approximately 42 km from Kapuskasing and 202 km by road from the Timmins mining camp, home to world-class operations like Hollinger, McIntyre and Dome.
