Executive Summary

  • Anteros Metals Inc. announced that drilling has begun on the Seagull Critical Minerals Project in Ontario, targeting a deep, previously untested anomaly identified by Rift Minerals’ Ambient Noise Tomography survey.
  • The Phase 1 program consists of an approximately 1,350‑metre diamond drillhole designed to evaluate potential PGE, nickel, copper, hydrogen and helium mineralization; the program is fully funded and permitted.
  • Anteros will provide further updates as drilling progresses and results become available.

Key Details

  • Drill crews mobilized to site; casing has been cemented and drilling is underway.
  • Project location: ~80 km NE of Thunder Bay, Ontario, within the mafic‑ultramafic Seagull Intrusion (Nipigon Basin).
  • Phase 1 drill program: ~1,350 m deep diamond drillhole testing a low‑velocity anomaly identified by Rift’s Ambient Noise Tomography (“ANT”) survey.
  • Target commodities: platinum‑group elements (PGEs), nickel, copper, and associated naturally occurring gases (hydrogen, helium).
  • Gas sampling will be conducted by a specialized team later in the month; sampling is investigatory and does not imply commercial gas resources.
  • The drill program is fully funded and fully permitted.
  • Historical context: 1998‑2012 exploration included ~20,000 m of diamond drilling with reported disseminated to semi‑massive sulphide mineralization (Ni, Cu, PGEs) – results unverified by Anteros.
  • 2024 Rift ANT survey refined internal geometry of the intrusion and identified a deeper subsurface target now being tested.
  • Qualified Person: Dr. Geoff Heggie, P.Geo. (Ontario), reviewed and approved technical information under NI 43‑101.
