Strategic Metals samples 2,740 g/t Ag at Triple Crown

Executive Summary

• Strategic Metals reported exceptionally high-grade silver assays up to 2,740 g/t Ag over 0.5 m and gold assays up to 8.37 g/t Au from hand‑trenched chip samples at its Triple Crown project in the Yukon.
• The results highlight a newly identified Central zone porphyry target with notable copper (up to 4,780 ppm) and bismuth (up to 427 ppm) soil anomalies, suggesting potential for a larger epithermal‑porphyry system.
• No drilling has yet been performed; the company plans further work to delineate these high‑grade zones.

Key Details
