TORR METALS OUTLINES HISTORICAL COPPER-GOLD-SILVER SOIL ANOMALIES WITH 3 KILOMETER STRIKE-LENGTH AT THE BERTHA ZONE

Torr Metals Inc. has released the initial results from the compilation of historical geochemical data across the road-accessible Bertha, Bertha South, JHC and Rhyolite occurrences; this area is only one of three potential large-scale undrilled porphyry-style centres with surface mineralization identified at the Kolos copper-gold project in southern-central British Columbia.

The compiled data set includes 2,090 soil and 27 rock grab samples, outlining significant copper (Cu), silver (Ag) and gold (Au) anomalies, with the largest occurring within the approximately two-square-kilometre Bertha zone, currently the focus of a continuing induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey. Anomalous soils within the Bertha zone define a primary one-kilometre (km) northeast-southwest trend to mineralization, as well as a secondary northwest-southeast trend that extends an additional two km in strike length. These orientations are consistent with structural controls mapped during the recently completed 2025 field reconnaissance.

Highlights:

• More-than-400-metre (m) strike length to undrilled high-grade copper in outcrop: Two thousand twenty-five field reconnaissance confirms supergene-style mineralization at both the Bertha and Bertha South occurrences, where historical rock grab samples returned up to 8.48 per cent Cu.
• One km Cu-Au-Ag primary trend at the Bertha zone (target 1): Highly anomalous soil geochemistry, dominated by Cu and Ag, is consistent with a supergene-enriched system now defined along a broad corridor spanning the Bertha-Bertha South trend. The scale and geochemical signature are comparable with the New Afton copper-gold porphyry deposit, located 29 km to the northeast, where supergene mineralization is hosted within the upper 250 to 500 metres, forming a cap above the underlying primary hypogene porphyry orebody.
• Expansion of continuing 2025 IP survey: Following recent field observations, the company has elected to expand the continuing IP geophysical survey from approximately 11.7 to 16.1 line km, concentrating efforts along the primary Bertha-Bertha South trend. The results will be critical in delineating the potential subsurface extent of outcrop mineralization.
• Robust mineralization in historical sampling with unexplored upside: Of a total 2,090 soil and 27 rock grab samples compiled, 86 soils yielded values more than 100 parts per million (ppm) Cu with 22 more than 200 ppm Cu; the highest recorded is 824 ppm Cu. Of the 27 historical rock grab samples, 12 yielded more than 500 ppm Cu, seven more than 15,000 ppm Cu and five more than 20,000 ppm Cu. To date, much of the area, including highly prospective high-magnetic anomalies, remains unexplored.

"This data clearly highlights the Bertha zone as a standout copper-gold-silver target within our Kolos project," stated Malcolm Dorsey, president and chief executive officer of Torr Metals. "The presence of high-grade, untested copper in outcrop across multiple zones, alongside three well-defined multielement soil anomaly targets and an expanded IP survey all point to a potentially large-scale mineralizing system that remains untested by drilling. With highway access and strong geological parallels to the supergene zone at New Afton, located just 29 kilometres to the northeast, we view Bertha as a highly compelling exploration target with significant new discovery potential ahead of our inaugural 2025 drill program."

Discussion: supergene enrichment with copper and silver as key vectors

Supergene-style mineralization develops when primary sulphide minerals at and near surface are exposed to oxygen and rainwater, triggering chemical weathering and oxidation. This leads to the dissolution and downward migration of metals such as copper, which then reprecipitate at depth as secondary copper minerals like chalcocite and native copper, as found at the Bertha and Bertha South occurrences. At the New Afton deposit, this process formed a well-defined supergene enrichment cap overlying the primary copper-gold hypogene orebody. The enriched supergene zone significantly enhances copper grades near surface, improving the economic potential of the New Afton deposit by initially providing higher-grade, more easily accessible mineralization compared with the deeper primary sulphides.

Copper and silver are two of the most effective geochemical vectors for detecting supergene enrichment due to their relative mobility and enrichment during weathering. Silver is particularly useful as it is more mobile than gold under oxidizing conditions, allowing strongly anomalous silver soil values, typically above one ppm, to highlight zones of intense weathering and fluid flow associated with supergene processes. Copper soil anomalies typically show strong enrichment within these zones, making it a primary pathfinder. Gold behaves differently, being largely immobile during supergene alteration, and instead remains concentrated mainly within the underlying hypogene orebody. Although elevated gold soil values above 20 parts per billion (ppb), such as can be found along the Bertha trend, can help identify proximity to the core of a system, gold is generally a weaker indicator of supergene enrichment compared to copper and silver. Together, these geochemical signals guide exploration by differentiating enriched near-surface zones from deeper hypogene sources.

Glacial dispersion

Based on field observations, there is potential at Bertha for minor glacial dispersion that would have slightly offset the geochemical footprint from its bedrock source, primarily along northwest-southeast and subsidiary north-south orientations. However, this dispersion appears limited in scale and does not significantly obscure a potential underlying mineralizing system based on coincident surface mineralization in outcrop.

About Torr Metals Inc.

Torr Metals, headquartered in Vancouver, B.C., 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 km Kolos copper-gold project and strategically optioned 57 square km Bertha property, situated in Southern British Columbia's prolific Quesnel terrane, lie just 30 km southeast of the Highland Valley copper mine, Canada's largest open-pit copper operation, and 40 km south of Kamloops directly along Highway 5. In Northern Ontario, the 261 square km 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.
