TORR METALS COMMENCES FULLY FUNDED 6,000-METRE DRILL PROGRAM BEGINNING AT BERTHA NORTH, FOLLOWING NEW GEOPHYSICAL TARGETING AND 2.4% COPPER SURFACE SAMPLE RESULTS

Torr Metals Inc. has released initial geochemical and geophysical results from its Spring 2026 surface exploration program at the Bertha North copper-gold porphyry target, where drill site preparations and associated geological field activities are under way ahead of drill contractor mobilization for the company's fully financed phase II 2026 exploration program of up to 6,000 metres.

Bertha North is defined by strong surface copper-gold anomalism directly coincident with a compelling magnetic-resistive geophysical signature and an emerging chargeability anomaly that broadens and strengthens at depth to the southwest, as defined by the 2026 induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey conducted in April, 2026. Recent 2026 rock grab sampling also returned up to 2.4 per cent copper and 9.4 grams per tonne silver from brecciated, potassically altered and angular intrusive float with strong malachite mineralization, indicating proximity to a potential high-grade mineralized porphyry centre, supported by an overlying historical 800-metre-by-500-metre copper-gold soil anomaly.

Integrated total magnetic intensity (TMI), magnetic vector inversion (MVI), resistivity and chargeability modelling support the interpretation of a near-surface porphyry centre with north-south intrusive continuity and northeast-trending structural controls. Combined geophysical, geochemical and surface sampling results indicate the presence of oxidized copper-gold-magnetite-bearing intrusive rocks at surface. Increasing conductivity and chargeability at depth may reflect a transition into stronger, less weathered hydrothermal alteration and primary hypogene sulphide mineralization associated with the core of a large-scale copper-gold porphyry system.

Bertha North is only one of four undrilled road-accessible interpreted porphyry centres identified across Torr's 332-square-kilometre Kolos copper-gold project, located approximately 35 kilometres southwest of Kamloops, B.C.

"Bertha North has rapidly advanced into one of the highest-priority targets across the Kolos project and represents our strongest analogue to the geological setting at the nearby New Afton copper-gold porphyry mine," commented Malcolm Dorsey, chief executive officer of Torr Metals. "The combination of high-grade copper mineralization at surface, a large copper-gold geochemical footprint and compelling geophysical vectors that also strengthen and broaden at depth suggests the potential for a substantial preserved porphyry system that is deep-reaching below the current level of exposure. With the fully funded 2026 drilling program now under way, we expect to dedicate at least 1,500 metres to testing the scale and discovery potential of this exciting target."

Highlights:

• First planned drill target of 2026: Initial holes are designed to test a coincident copper-gold soil anomaly, magnetite-bearing intrusive target and strengthening chargeability-conductivity response at depth.
• Near-surface geophysical signature consistent with regional alkalic copper-gold porphyry systems: Integrated magnetic, resistivity and chargeability data define a large undrilled porphyry target characterized by a magnetic-resistive core adjacent to chargeability-conductivity anomalies that increase at depth. The separation of the resistive and chargeable domains may reflect a weathered supergene cap developed above a preserved hypogene sulphide system, similar to the upper portions of the New Afton copper-gold porphyry deposit.
• Strong surface expression of mineralization: A historical 800-metre-by-500-metre copper-gold soil anomaly directly overlies the geophysical target, while recent sampling returned up to 2.4 per cent copper and 9.4 grams per tonne silver from brecciated, potassically altered intrusive rocks. Of 50 rock grab samples collected, 21 returned greater than 200 parts per million copper, including 18 samples exceeding 500 parts per million copper.

Termination of capital markets consulting agreement

Torr Metals announces that its capital markets consulting agreement with Insight Capital Partners Inc. (ICP) will terminate effective June 23, 2026, upon completion of the initial four-month term of the agreement. The company elected not to renew the agreement beyond its initial term and confirms that the engagement will conclude in accordance with its terms. Torr Metals thanks ICP for the capital markets advisory and services provided during the engagement.

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 the strategically optioned, 57-square-kilometre Bertha property, situated in Southern British Columbia's prolific Quesnel terrane, lie just 30 kilometres southeast of the Highland Valley copper mine, Canada's largest open-pit copper operation, and 40 kilometres 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 Trans-Canada Highway 11, approximately 42 kilometres from Kapuskasing and 202 kilometres by road from the Timmins mining camp, home to world-class operations such as Hollinger, McIntyre and Dome.
