Route 109 Confirms Prophyry-Style Gold-Copper-Molybdenum Mineralization at Dunlop Bay

Executive Summary

• Route 109 Resources reports results from its 2025 winter drilling program on the Dunlop Bay property, confirming a Au‑Cu‑Mo porphyry‑style mineralized system associated with the Dunlop Bay intrusion.
• Two drillholes (BD‑25‑31 and BD‑25‑32) intersected significant gold, copper and molybdenum grades, including up to 7.05 ppm Au, 569 ppm Cu and 1 620 ppm Mo over a 0.5 m interval.
• The company interprets the findings as evidence of a larger, previously untested >2 km N‑S trending porphyry system, expanding exploration potential in the Matagami region.

Key Details

• Drillhole BD‑25‑31 (18.5–19 m): 0.5 m interval – 7.05 ppm Au, 11.6 g/t Ag, 569 ppm Cu, 5 ppm Mo, 17 ppm Pb, 88 ppm Zn.
• Drillhole BD‑25‑31 (52–52.5 m): 0.5 m interval – 0.048 ppm Au, 0.25 g/t Ag, 206 ppm Cu, 1 620 ppm Mo, 3 ppm Pb, 103 ppm Zn.
• Drillhole BD‑25‑32 (41.8–43 m): 1.2 m interval – 0.126 ppm Au, 0.25 g/t Ag, 34 ppm Cu, 1 ppm Mo, 7 ppm Pb, 32 ppm Zn.
• Drillhole BD‑25‑32 (104.6–108.45 m): 3.85 m interval – 0.242 ppm Au, 2.38 g/t Ag, 1 284 ppm Cu, 12.86 ppm Mo, 0 ppm Pb, 36.5 ppm Zn.
• Historical drilling (GM 48615 & GM 44938) also shows gold up to 7.05 ppm Au and copper up to 0.13 % over several meters within the intrusion.
• Geological interpretation: mineralization linked to a porphyry system similar to the Chibougamau Cu‑Au‑Mo deposits, featuring veinlet networks, massive sulfide lodes, breccia‑hosted sulfides, and N‑S trending structural control.
• Unexplored 38 m overburden gap separates two intrusive units (diorite westward, syenite eastward) – identified as a target for future drilling.
• Exploration implication: the porphyry system may extend >2 km along an N‑S trend, offering significant upside for gold and base‑metal potential.

Notable Quotes

“We are quite excited by the evidence of porphyry‑style mineralization within the Dunlop Bay property… These results show the exploration potential of the property which needs to be followed up with additional geophysics and drilling targeting the porphyry system.” – Robert Pryde, President & CEO
