METALLIS ADVANCES GEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF GREYHOUND SHEAR AND REFINES TARGETING MODEL FOR 2026 DRILL PROGRAM

Metallis Refines Greyhound Targeting Model Amidst Consolidation

Executive Summary

Executive Summary

  • Metallis Resources has completed a technical review and reinterpretation of the Greyhound Silver-Gold-Antimony Project in Idaho using 3D modeling.
  • The updated model identifies new high-grade target areas along a 3.5 km trend and reveals a significant new geochemical anomaly north of the Republican zone.
  • A 3,000-meter drilling program is planned for the 2026 field season, focusing on the Rufus Zone and targets including Bulldog, Birdie, and Idaho.

Key Details

  • Refined Geological Model: The Greyhound shear system is now interpreted as comprising multiple southwest-dipping shear veins with ore shoots associated with dilation zones.
  • Historical Corrections: Corrected spatial inaccuracies; the main Rufus shear zone dips steeply to the southwest rather than northeast.
  • 2025 Drilling Results Context: Holes GH-25-05, -06, and -07 intersected the shear zone revealing a broader 30-40 m wide mineralized system. Hole GH-25-07 returned 94.76 g/t Ag over 15.45 m.
  • Geochemistry: Zinc used as a pathfinder element showing strong correlation (r = 0.75) with silver in rock samples north of the Republican zone.
  • 2026 Exploration Program: Planned drilling is approximately 3,000 meters, focusing on high-grade shoots within the Rufus Zone (500, 1000, and 1350 zones).

Notable Quotes

  • Dave Nuttall, VP of Exploration: "The updated geological interpretation represents an important step forward in understanding how mineralization is distributed at Greyhound... This improved understanding allows us to more precisely target the high-grade portions of the system."
Material Impact

News Context and Expectations

  • The news confirms the execution of the 2026 drilling program previously funded by the March 2026 private placement ($1.262M).
  • It refines targeting based on 2025 drill results, which were released in December 2025 (NewsId 122412) and caused a significant price spike followed by a sharp decline.
  • The market has already priced in the existence of high-grade mineralization from the Dec 2025 announcement; this news is an operational refinement rather than a new discovery event.

Impact on Stock Price

  • Positive but Incremental: The news validates the company's exploration strategy and reduces geological risk for the upcoming drill program, which is positive for long-term value. However, it does not announce a new resource estimate or immediate production potential.
  • Market Skepticism: Following the December 2025 high-grade discovery (which saw price jump to $0.55 then crash to $0.19), investors appear cautious about exploration-stage volatility. This update is expected by the market given the financing timeline and previous announcements.
  • No Immediate Catalyst: There are no immediate financial results or resource estimates attached to this release, limiting short-term upside potential compared to a discovery announcement.
