Earthwise Minerals Intercepts Mineralization and Alteration in All Drill Holes at the Iron Range Gold Project, British Columbia

Executive Summary

• Earthwise Minerals completed its 2026 diamond drill program at the Talon Zone of the Iron Range Gold Project in southeastern British Columbia, successfully intersecting the target structure across all three drill holes.
• The program successfully infilled historical mineralized intercepts and assessed continuity along the Talon Zone structure, with all holes revealing strong silica-feldspar alteration and polymetallic mineralization.
• Analytical samples have been submitted to ALS Global for Fire Assay and multi-element characterization, with results pending to guide future exploration steps.

Key Details

• Program Overview: 3 diamond drill holes totaling 1,182 meters completed at the Talon Zone, managed by TerraLogic Exploration and drilled by QB Drilling.
• Hole IR26053 (410m): Intercepted the Talon Zone structure between 280-396m, defined by strong silica-feldspar alteration and dense, chaotic quartz-feldspar-ankerite veins. Polymetallic mineralization (pyrrhotite, pyrite, sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite, sulfosalts) noted throughout as veins, fracture infill, and localized breccia cement.
• Hole IR26054 (383m): Intercepted the Talon Zone structure between 258-345m, exhibiting similar strong alteration and veining characteristics as IR26053.
• Hole IR26055 (389m): Successfully intercepted an upper mineralized horizon (15-80m) and the main lower Talon Zone horizon (241-380m), representing a 40m step-out southwest from historical hole IR11015.
• Historical Context: 2010 Eagle Plains drilling intersected strong intervals including 14.0m @ 5.1g/t Au, 1.86% Pb, 2.1% Zn, 75.3g/t Ag and 7.1m @ 8.13g/t Au, 2.84% Pb, 3.07% Zn, 86.6g/t Ag (DDH IR10010).
• Sampling & Analysis: Samples submitted to ALS Global (North Vancouver) for Fire Assay (Au) and full multi-element characterization; results are pending review and interpretation.
• Project Interest: Company holds an option to earn up to an 80% interest in the fully permitted project from Eagle Plains Resources Ltd.
• Qualified Person: Technical disclosure reviewed and approved by Charles C. Downie, P.Geo., officer and director of Eagle Plains Resources Ltd.

Notable Quotes

• Mark Luchinski, CEO: "We are encouraged by the completion of our first drill program at Iron Range and the consistent intersection of alteration and mineralization across all three drill holes at the Talon Zone. I would like to thank the teams at Eagle Plains, TerraLogic and QB Drilling for their professionalism and dedication in executing the program safely and efficiently. We now look forward to receiving the analytical results, which will further inform our understanding of the Talon Zone and help guide the next steps in advancing the Project."
