Torr conducts survey, rock grab sampling at Kolos

Mr. Malcolm Dorsey reports TORR METALS SAMPLES 16.9% COPPER AND IDENTIFIES COINCIDENT >900 METER UNDRILLED IP CHARGEABILITY ANOMALY AT BERTHA ZONE Torr Metals Inc. has released the results from a recently completed induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey and rock grab sampling program at the Bertha zone target within its highway-accessible 332-square-kilometre Kolos copper-gold project in south-central British Columbia. Within the historical Bertha exploration pit, selected rock grab sampling expanded on a single location of historical sampling, returning up to 16.9 per cent copper (Cu) and 8.48 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag) from a series of paralleling quartz-carbonate veins along a 30-metre (m) strike length. These results validate the high-grade nature of the historical exploration pit, which reported past production of 30 tonnes averaging 2.14 per cent Cu and 27.43 g/t Ag. Additionally, mineralization continues along a more than 450 m west-southwest strike between the Bertha and Bertha South showings, with no recorded drilling. Importantly, the high-grade copper mineralization is situated along the margins of a newly defined IP (induced polarization) chargeability anomaly exceeding 900 m in strike length and over 500 m in width, which remains open at depth and downplunge, and to the east. Highlights: Broad, open-ended IP chargeability anomaly coincident with resistivity: The IP survey defines a more than 900 m long by more than 500 m wide chargeability anomaly, expanding to over 750 m centrally where key north- and west-southwest-trending structures intersect. Chargeability appears tabular in cross-section and strengthens eastward, remaining open in this direction near surface, as well as downdip and downplunge more than 600 m vertical depth to the west-southwest, coinciding with a resistivity high interpreted as a potential intrusive source or secondary porosity. Evidence of strong structural preparation: All six rock grab samples from the Bertha zone consisted largely of chalcocite mineralization that returned more than 1 per cent copper, with four exceeding 3 per cent and the highest yielding 16.9 per cent Cu. Hosted within the same fragmental volcanic unit (Late Triassic-Early Jurassic Nicola Group) as the historical Bertha exploration pit, these results suggest a broad supergene-style blanket where vertical downward-migrating high-grade copper sulphides precipitated along pre-existing vein and fracture networks near the core of a porphyry system. Prime untested porphyry drill target identified: Southeast of the historical Bertha exploration pit, a large hydrothermal alteration footprint coincides with overlapping chargeability (10 to 20 millivolts per volt (mV/V)) and resistivity (500 to 700 ohm-m) anomalies along the margins of a magnetic low, outlining a high-priority, untested target with strong potential for a significant alkalic porphyry discovery. "The confirmation of high-grade copper at surface and identification of a large 0.7-square-kilometre (km) IP geophysical anomaly at Bertha represent a major step forward in defining the untested potential of this area," stated Malcolm Dorsey, president and chief executive officer. "The signature strength and dimensions are highly promising for targeting a mid-size high-grade porphyry system perhaps similar to the New Afton system, with a broad moderate chargeability overlapping resistivity along the margins of a magnetic anomaly, together with nearby evidence of high-grade supergene copper mineralization. We now have the geochemical and geophysical data needed to plan drill targets in preparation for an inaugural drilling program at Bertha, the first to test this previously untouched target." Discussion: chargeability vectors for a New Afton-style porphyry system At the New Afton copper-gold alkalic porphyry deposit in south-central British Columbia, IP surveys have been key to mapping copper sulphide mineralization and alteration at depth. Productive zones typically show moderate chargeability of 10 to 15 mV/V, occasionally reaching up to 25 mV/V in the near-surface supergene chalcocite zone. While chargeability highs above 20 mV/V do occur, they are often linked to non-economic pyrite-rich alteration halos or magnetite, making moderate chargeability a more reliable vector for near-surface mineralization. Comparatively at Bertha a seven to 20 mV/V chargeability feature overlaps a parallel, plunging resistivity anomaly (500 to 700 ohm-m), potentially indicative of intrusive activity or secondary porosity, the latter being a key feature exhibiting similar values that are associated with deeper hypogene copper-gold mineralization at the New Afton deposit, 28 km to the northeast. These geophysical signatures together with recently compiled geochemistry (see July 22, 2025, news release) underscore strong potential for the discovery of a significant untested copper-gold porphyry at Bertha, largely hidden beneath a thin (less than three m) layer of younger Eocene volcanic cover that would have preserved mineralization from glacial erosion. Note that the information and comparisons disclosed herein to New Afton are not necessarily indicative of mineralization or assay results at the Bertha zone or elsewhere across the Kolos project area. Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) Results from samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (geochemistry division) in Kamloops, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017- and ISO 9001:2015-accredited facility). A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. At ALS, the samples were digested using aqua regia and analyzed via ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) and ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy) using a 25 g sample aliquot under the ALS code AuME-TL43. The company follows industry standard procedures for the work carried out on the Kolos project. Due to the reconnaissance nature of the soil sampling, the company relied on the internal QA/QC measures of ALS. Torr Metals detected no significant QA/QC issues during review of the data.

About Torr Metals Inc. Torr Metals, headquartered in Edmonton, Alta., 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, lies just 30 km southeast of the Highland Valley copper mine, Canada's largest open-pit copper operation, and 40 km south of the city 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.
