VELOCITY MINERALS PROVIDES UPDATE FOR THE ZLATUSHA COPPER-GOLD PROJECT, BULGARIA

Velocity Minerals Ltd. has provided an update on the continuing exploration program at the Zlatusha copper-gold project, located in the prolific Tethyan belt that has potential for epithermal, porphyry and skarn deposit discoveries. Phase I drill testing is planned for Q2 2024, with an initial 3,000m of diamond drilling to test priority copper-gold target areas.

2023 Highlights and Project Background

Exploration completed in 2023 includes detailed mapping over priority targets, 1,800 soil samples, 660 rock samples, a 4,500-station ground radiometric survey, and a property-wide 2,400 line-km drone magnetic survey. The magnetic survey (Figure 1) has been key in identifying target areas for follow up with detailed mapping, and geochemistry.

The Company has compiled a technical presentation summarizing the Zlatusha exploration project, which can be downloaded here. This document provides an in-depth view of exploration progress at the Project, as well as details on methodologies and future plans, offering a clear overview for investors and stakeholders.

The Zlatusha Property is located within a Tier One porphyry copper-gold and epithermal belt, which transects Serbia and Bulgaria. The local geology is similar to the Timok Magmatic complex, which is located 95 km to the northwest in Serbia (hosting the world class Bor, Majdanpek and Cukaru Peki copper-gold deposits). The Panagyurishte Orefield, located 65 km to the east in Bulgaria hosts operating copper-gold mines such as Chelopech, Elatsite and Asarel. Approximately 5km southwest of Zlatusha, the Milin Kamuk gold mine is under construction. No modern systematic exploration has been carried out and the Company considers the Property to be prospective for the discovery of these deposit types (Figure 2). In particular, the recent discovery of the high-grade Coka Rakita gold skarn deposit by Dundee Precious Metals has renewed interest in deposits of this type within the Tethyan Belt that have been historically overlooked.

Readers are cautioned that the mines and deposits discussed above are adjacent properties and that Velocity has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in the deposit, and that mineral deposits on adjacent or similar properties, and any production therefore or economics with respect thereto, are not in any way indicative of mineral deposits on Velocity's properties or the potential production from, or cost or economics of, any future mining of any of Velocity's mineral properties.

2024 Outlook

Building on 2023's successful exploration program, Velocity will initiate a 3,000m diamond core drilling program in Q2. Drill target definition and prioritization is ongoing and an update will be provided to shareholders prior to the commencement of the drill program.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

The work program at Zlatusha Property was designed and supervised by Vasil Dimitrov, CGeol FGS, the Company's Senior Geologist, who is responsible for all aspects of the work, including the quality control/quality assurance program.

On-site personnel at the project rigorously collect and track samples which are then security sealed and shipped to ALS Global laboratory in Romania (soil and rock samples) for sample preparation and subsequent analysis. Soil samples are prepared in compliance with industry standards at ALS' Romanian laboratory then a sample split of the milled material (pulp) is shipped to ALS' Irish laboratory for Trace Detection Limit method for a gold plus multi-element package by aqua regia digestion for acid extractable gold - 25g. Field duplicate samples, blanks and independent controlled reference material (standards) are added to every batch.

Portable XRF (Olympus Vanta M) and Magnetic Susceptibility (KT-9 kappameter) analysis are applied on soil and rock sample references. Portable XRF analyzer is used to evaluate the concentration of certain elements in rocks and soils providing rapid information to field geologists without waiting for laboratory results. The portable XRF readings provide an effective screening tool for selecting samples for traditional laboratory chemical analysis. The assays of the pXRF analysis are indicative, but accuracy is not equivalent to laboratory analysis. Soil samples are sieved in the field with 40mesh (-1mm) stainless steel sieve, collected in kraft paper bags for drying in storage area. After sample splitting, material is taken from each sample for portable XRF analysis and stored in small transparent zip-lock bags with sample ID tags. Samples are scanned on both sides and the XRF measurements are averaged by the portable XRF. Representative rock sample specimens are selected from the field geologist then scanned with portable XRF in company's warehouse. Blanks and independent controlled reference material (standards) scanned with portable XRF and the results are compared with laboratory analysis. Additional portable XRF QA/QC measurements are taken from "Coin" and "Blank" material (provided by Olympus) for tool calibration before and after scanning of each batch of samples.

Geophysical surveys are carried out by geophysical consultants using up-to-date technologies, with the results checked by a third-party independent geophysicist for quality control. Raw geophysical data is processed and corrected, and the results are interpreted by 2 independent groups of geophysicists under the direction of Company staff.
