Torr Metals outlines soil anomaly at Kolos

Mr. Malcolm Dorsey reports TORR METALS HIGHLIGHTS HISTORICAL SOIL ANOMALIES LINKED TO SONIC PORPHYRY TARGET, INCLUDING UP TO 4,510 PPM CU AND 700 PPB AU Torr Metals Inc. has released results from the compilation of historical soil and rock grab sampling covering the adjoining 57-square-kilometre Bertha property, strategically optioned for full ownership, and an area extending north of the Sonic zone on Torr's 100-per-cent-owned, 275-square-kilometre Kolos copper-gold project in south-central British Columbia. Notably, the historical data set highlights a 4.5-square-kilometre copper-gold soil anomaly north of the Sonic zone within Torr's 100-per-cent-owned land package, reporting up to 4,510 parts per million copper and 590 parts per billion gold. In addition, 2025 field reconnaissance within the Sonic zone copper-gold porphyry target area identified a new mineralized outcrop approximately one kilometre northeast of Torr's 2024 discovery, which returned 1.1 per cent copper in a magnetite-rich grab sample along the margins of a highly prospective high-magnetic anomaly. The newly identified outcrop yielded 0.42 per cent copper from a strongly sheared quartz-carbonate vein hosted in Nicola group volcanics, proximal to a pyritized monzonite intrusion and silica-apatite dike, further supporting vectors toward a potential alkalic copper-gold porphyry centre. Highlights: Significant copper soil anomaly identified north of the Sonic zone: Historical data compilation has outlined a significant 4.5-square-kilometre copper-gold soil anomaly extending northeast of the Sonic zone for a strike length of 3.7 kilometres with a width of 1.2 kilometres. The anomaly is defined by copper values exceeding 200 parts per million, with peak results of up to 4,510 parts per million copper and 590 parts per billion gold. Importantly, this geochemical trend aligns with two low-magnetic geophysical features showcasing a dominant northeast orientation and a secondary northwest structural control more strongly developed along the margins of a high-magnetic body to the southwest, highlighting a compelling exploration target. Multikilometre epithermal and porphyry corridor defined: Historical data sets have also defined a greater-than-4.0-kilometre gold-silver-copper epithermal corridor, possibly linked, extending northwest from the Sonic zone porphyry target through the Plug and Meadow Creek occurrences (see March 11, 2025, news release) with up to 700 parts per billion gold in soil and 2.24 grams per tonne gold over 4.4 metres, 20.78 grams per tonne gold over 0.56 metre and 6.24 grams per tonne gold with 1,715 grams per tonne silver over 0.36 metre in trenching. Potential for untested large-scale porphyry centre at Sonic: Multiphase intrusions, widespread phyllic and localized potassic alteration, plus several silica-aplite dikes define the hallmarks of a fertile alkalic copper-gold system. Within the four-square-kilometre Sonic zone gap is a highly prospective area, with porphyry-style alteration and mineralization exposed at surface in outcrop, with no soil sampling or drilling ever recorded. Four undrilled large-scale porphyry targets with district scale at Kolos: The highway-accessible Kolos project hosts four large, undrilled copper-gold porphyry targets (Sonic, Bertha, Kirby and Lodi) with surface geochemical anomalies covering a combined 11.8 square kilometres. Bertha, Kirby and Lodi are fully drill permitted, while Sonic is in the permitting phase. Defined through extensive geochemical and geophysical work, these targets offer significant discovery potential with the ability for year-round operations within 30 to 50 kilometres of the New Afton and Highland Valley mines, the latter being Canada's largest open-pit copper mine. "The combination of historical data and our recent fieldwork continues to highlight the significant discovery potential at the highway-accessible Kolos project," stated Malcolm Dorsey, president and chief executive officer of Torr Metals. "We are advancing the drill permit for the Sonic zone and plan to fully evaluate the highly prospective four-square-kilometre gap area this year. Our inaugural phase 1 drill program will begin at the Bertha target, where surface outcrop rock samples returned up to 16.9 per cent copper, supported by a strong chargeability anomaly, suggesting mineralization may extend beyond 500 vertical metres. These efforts mark the beginning of a broader strategy to unlock four high-impact opportunities within Canada's most productive copper belt." Of a total 6,941 historical soils sampled for copper, 274 returned greater than 100 parts per million copper and 102 greater than 200 parts per million copper. With only 997 historical soil samples analyzed for gold, 69 returned greater than 20 parts per billion gold and 19 greater than 60 parts per billion gold, with the highest yielding 700 parts per billion gold. Of 293 historical rock grab samples, 18 returned greater than 0.5 per cent copper and 17 greater than 0.2 gram per tonne gold. Quality assurance and control Results from 2025 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 by ICP-MS and ICP-AES using a 25-gram 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 quality assurance/quality control (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-kilometre Kolos copper-gold project and strategically optioned 57-square-kilometre Bertha property, situated in Southern British Columbia's prolific Quesnel terrane, lie just 30 kilometres southeast of the Highland Valley copper mine, Canada's largest open-pit copper operation, and 40 kilometres south of the city of Kamloops directly along Highway 5. In Northern Ontario, the 261-square-kilometre 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 kilometres from Kapuskasing and 202 kilometres by road from the Timmins mining camp, home to world-class operations such as Hollinger, McIntyre and Dome.
