MINK VENTURES EXTENDS MINERALIZED TRENDS AND IDENTIFIES NEW TARGETS WITH SUMMER GEOPHYSICS PROGRAM AT WARREN PROJECT

Mink Ventures Corp. has released results from its summer exploration program. The company completed a geophysics program on three distinct areas of interest at its Warren Cu-Ni-Co (copper-nickel-cobalt) project. The program involved a mise-a-la-masse (MALAM) survey to evaluate a Ni-Cu-Co surface occurrence, as well as two downhole targets containing nickel-copper-cobalt-bearing semi-massive sulphides. The survey better defined the extent of known zones, extended the known mineralized trends in some instances and outlined new proximal anomalies of interest. The MALAM targets are coincident with resistivity lows, chargeability highs, strong magnetic responses, and excellent surface Ni, Cu, Co values in surface trenches. The company has proposed a 2,000-metre drill program for the Warren patents and secured additional drill permits to test targets on its adjacent Warren North claims.

North zone target:

• The target represents an untested surface exposure of nickel-cobalt-bearing massive sulphide. Mink's 2024 north zone grab samples returned values grading up to 0.967 per cent nickel and 0.07 per cent cobalt.
• The recent MALAM survey demonstrated the presence of a strong circular target 125 metres in diameter at the north zone. It also revealed a new MALAM target on the west side of the north zone, which may be related to the north zone mineralization.
• The new target, with a strike length of 200-plus metres, has a distinct resistivity low, which suggests potential for massive sulphide mineralization.
• The north zone area represents a priority 1 drill target.

A zone area:

• The A zone area encompasses both the historical A and B zones associated with historical surface trenching, which returned significant Ni, Cu and Co.
• A downhole MALAM survey was conducted to further evaluate the extent of mineralization related to a semi-massive sulphide intercept in Mink drill hole, W2401, which returned 0.478 per cent Ni, 0.12 per cent Cu and 0.07 per cent Co over 0.9 metre within a broader mineralized intercept.
• The downhole MALAM survey outlined a strong anomaly with a strike length of approximately 500 metres and a width of approximately 200 metres covering both the prospective A zone and B zone.
• Substantial portions of this anomaly remain untested along strike and at depth.
• The survey also outlined the start of a potential new target zone to the east of the A zone with a strike length of approximately 500 metres.
• The A zone and B zone MALAM anomaly is associated with a distinct resistivity low extending through the entire MALAM target and beyond. The resistivity low suggests potential for further massive sulphide mineralization.
• Diamond drilling is the next step to fully evaluate the extent of the A and B targets within the MALAM anomaly at depth and along strike.

Shaft zone area:

• The shaft zone area is centred on a shallow historical shaft associated with Ni-Cu-Co mineralization from bedrock and muck piles from the shaft sinking.
• Mink drill hole W2407 to test the shaft zone intersected 0.429 per cent Ni, 0.274 per cent Cu and 0.0442 per cent Co over 1.6 metres.
• A downhole MALAM survey centred on this intercept outlined an anomaly with a strike length of approximately 500 metres and a width of approximately 150 metres.
• A resistivity low runs parallel to the entire strike length of the anomaly, further suggesting potential for massive sulphide mineralization.
• Drilling is required to further evaluate this target.

All assay values quoted above were previously documented in corporate news releases dated Sept. 20, 2023, Sept. 24, 2024, March 13, 2024, and Feb. 13, 2025, which can be reviewed for further reference.

Further, the company also intends to drill test a significant target, at its Montcalm Ni-Cu-Co project, outlined by coincident VTEM, gravity, 3-D borehole IP anomalies. The target sits at the 500-metre level, is approximately 300 metres along strike and is approximately 80 metres in width.

About Mink Ventures Corp.

Mink is a Canadian mineral exploration company exploring for critical minerals (nickel, copper and cobalt) at its Warren and Montcalm projects, in the Timmins, Ont., area. Mink's Montcalm project covers 100 square kilometres adjacent to Glencore's former Montcalm mine, which had historical production of 3.93 million tonnes of ore grading 1.25 per cent Ni, 0.67 per cent Cu and 0.051 per cent Co (Ontario Geological Survey, Atkinson, 2010). Its Warren Cu-Ni-Co project, which covers 1,130 hectares, is located 35 kilometres away. Both projects have excellent access and infrastructure with an all-weather access road and power, as well as proximity to the skilled labour and facilities of the Timmins mining camp. The company has 25,678,888 common shares outstanding.
