Inventus receives $1.46M prepayment for Pardo sample

Mr. Wesley Whymark reports INVENTUS SECURES $1.47 MILLION GOLD PRE-PAYMENT FROM 007 NORTH BULK SAMPLE AT THE PARDO GOLD PROJECT Inventus Mining Corp. has received a prepayment for a portion of estimated recoverable gold from its 007 North bulk sample at the 100-per-cent-owned Pardo gold project, located 65 kilometres northeast of Sudbury, Ont. Highlights: Inventus received $1,466,249 from McEwen Inc. as a prepayment sale representing a portion of the estimated recoverable gold from its 4,816-tonne 007 North bulk sample, which is anticipated to be processed shortly. The Trench 1 bulk sample is approximately 38 per cent delivered to McEwen's stock mill. Grade control drilling across 30 holes at this site identified approximately 10,000 tonnes, which returned a weighted average of 4.10 grams per tonne gold over 1.78 metres within six metres of surface (see new release dated July 7, 2025). Bulk sample update The Trench 1 bulk sample, where approximately 10,000 tonnes have been identified, is currently 90 per cent extracted. To date, 3,812 tonnes (38 per cent complete) of material have been hauled to McEwen's stock mill for processing. The company anticipates results from this bulk sample in November and will provide updates as they become available. Drilling update The company expects to release results shortly from further grade control drilling at the Trench 1 North and South bulk sample sites, as well as four phase 2 resource drill holes. Plans for additional phase 2 resource drilling are under way, which is part of the company's broader strategy of extending the gold mineralization and progressing toward a maiden resource estimate for the project. Wesley Whymark, president and head of exploration, commented: "Receiving this $1.47-million prepayment from McEwen provides clear validation of the gold content in our 007 North bulk sample and establishes a strong foundation for our bulk sampling program as we await final results. With the Trench 1 bulk sample now almost at the mill and further grade control drilling and resource drilling results expected shortly, Inventus is making steady progress that continues to derisk the project while showcasing the potential for a scalable, near-surface mining operation in one of Ontario's premier mining districts."
