Sorrento Resources Provides Update on Drilling at the Rodgers Cove Gold Project

Executive Summary

• Sorrento Resources expanded its Rodgers Cove drilling program to ~2,500 m after observing visible gold and significant sulphide mineralization in initial holes.
• Drill rig has moved to the NG soil anomaly; hole RC26‑007 is now underway with a total of seven holes planned at this target.
• At the Bottom Brook Project, 377 core samples from four completed holes have been shipped for assay, with results expected in 4–6 weeks.

Key Details

• Rodgers Cove – SG1 Soil Anomaly:
• Six drill holes completed (total 1,048 m).
• Four holes logged and sampled; assays pending.
• Visible gold noted in RC26‑001 (previously reported) and RC26‑004 at 72.41 m depth.

• All four logged holes contain intervals of sulphide mineralization (≈1–10%) including chalcopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, boulangerite.

• Rodgers Cove – NG Soil Anomaly:

• Drill rig mobilized to target ~1.25 km NE of SG1.
• Drilling commenced on hole RC26‑007; seven holes planned at this anomaly.

• Program expanded from 1,500 m to approximately 2,5 00 m due to encouraging early observations.

• Bottom Brook Project:

• 377 core samples (including QA/QC) from four of ten completed holes submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. for analysis.
• Additional samples will be shipped as core processing finishes.
• Assay results anticipated within 4–6 weeks.

• Samples were saw‑cut at Bugden Exploration facility, bagged, sealed, and transported via Midland Transport.

• QA/QC Program:

• Certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicate samples inserted at ~1 QA/QC per 10 core samples.

• Analytical methods: lithium metaborate/tetraborate fusion → ICP/ICP‑MS; fluorine analysis by fusion + ion‑selective electrode.

• Management Commentary:

• CEO Alex Bugden expressed encouragement over visible gold and consistent sulphide mineralization, noting the expansion reflects growing confidence in project potential and anticipation of forthcoming assay results.

Notable Quotes

“We are very encouraged by the continued presence of visible gold and consistent sulphide mineralization encountered in our initial drill holes at Rodgers Cove. Expanding the program to 2,500 metres and advancing drilling at a second target area reflects our growing confidence in the project's potential.” – Alex Bugden, President & CEO
