Cascade Copper Introduces The Bendor Gold-Tungsten Project

Executive Summary

• Cascade Copper completed a comprehensive historical data compilation for the Bendor Gold‑Tungsten Project, revealing high‑grade historic assays (up to 48 g/t Au) and extensive gold‑in‑soil anomalies.
• The company is undertaking 3D magnetic inversion of recent airborne magnetic‑radiometric surveys and will submit diamond drilling & geophysics permit applications within the next month, targeting drill programs in 2026.
• New LiDAR and high‑resolution airborne surveys have identified additional structural targets (e.g., “Oxide Ridge”) and several near‑term exploration targets for field follow‑up.

Key Details

• Historic High‑Grade Intercepts – Underground grab samples from the Bristol winze assayed up to 30.86 g/t Au and 6.5 % WO₃; a 23 kg bulk sample reported 48 g/t Au, 20.6 g/t Ag, 0.16 % WO₃.
• Drill Highlight (1947 program) – 27.5 g/t Au over 5.3 m (including 70 g/t Au over 0.8 m) from Bristol Level 3 Drift; multiple other intercepts ranging 1.09–7.5 g/t Au over various widths.
• Surface Sampling – Trench samples along the 225 m Benboe Vein up to 16.4 g/t Au and 17.14 g/t Ag; grab samples at Silverside up to 1.03 g/t Au, 72 g/t Ag, 9.6 % Cu.
• New Oxide Ridge Zone – ~1 km oxidation zone with quartz‑pyrite‑chalcopyrite veining; Cu grades from 0.01 % to 0.20 %, with grab samples up to 0.29 % Cu.
• LiDAR Survey – Produced high‑resolution elevation model, identified major fault and thrust systems, and delineated structural controls on mineralization.
• Airborne Magnetics‑Radiometrics – Showed strong magnetic intensity correlating with historic gold zones; low‑magnetic disruptions align with structural corridors that focus hydrothermal fluids.
• 3D Magnetic Inversion – Coarse 2D inversion completed; full‑scale refined 3D inversion underway to generate drill targets.
• Near‑Term Targets – Compilation of historic data, LiDAR, and magnetic results have identified several high‑priority surface magnetic and gold‑in‑soil anomalies for ground‑truthing early in the next field season.
• Permit Timeline – Diamond drilling and geophysics permit applications to be filed within the next month after 3D inversion completion; drill program anticipated for 2026.
• Qualified Person Review – Technical information reviewed by Shannon Baird, P.Geo., VP Exploration, qualified under NI 43‑101.

Notable Quotes

“The previous exploration work at Bendor has shown some impressive values of gold, tungsten, and silver throughout the Bristol and Benboe workings… we are extremely excited to complete the magnetic inversion modelling and 3D interpretation in preparation to get on the ground and follow up on these historic results.” – Shannon Baird, VP Exploration, Cascade Copper Corp.
