Goldstorm Metals Announces Drill Targets for the Crown Property Utilizing Results of an Independent Geophysical Review, and Appoints Joel Ashburner as Chief Geologist

• An independent review by Fathom Geophysics confirmed chargeability anomalies on the Crown Property that are consistent with buried porphyry intrusions.
• The company announced a Phase 1 drill program of ~3,000 m in five holes (three HQ, two NQ2) targeting the Copernicus and Orion‑Spine anomalies plus the Delta West gold zone.
• A possible Phase 2 of up to 6,000 m is contingent on Phase 1 results.
• Joel Ashburner, a geologist with >15 years experience in the Golden Triangle, has been appointed Chief Geologist.

• Scope: The announcement adds no new resource estimate or financing; it merely outlines future drilling and an executive hire.
• Market expectation: Investors have already been anticipating a drill program after the 2025 geophysical work and surface sampling results. The news therefore confirms prior expectations rather than exceeding them.
• Impact: Positive sentiment is likely (new drill targets, credible geophysicist endorsement, experienced chief geologist) but the effect should be modest and short‑lived until drilling results are released.
• Conclusion: The release is a routine operational update with a positive tilt – classified as Routine – Positive.

Goldstorm Metals Corp. is a junior explorer focused on the Crown Property – a 100 % owned land package of ~16,000 ha in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle. The flagship target is the “Copernicus Zone,” a 1.2 km N‑S chargeability anomaly interpreted as a deep‑seated porphyry intrusion, with ancillary targets (Orion Spine, Delta West) showing high‑grade gold‑silver surface assays.
