Aventis files NI 43-101 technical report on Sting

Executive Summary

• Aventis Energy Inc. filed a NI 43-101 technical report for its 100%-owned Sting Copper Project in Newfoundland & Labrador, dated December 24, 2025.
• The report outlines a recommended phase 1 exploration program comprising soil sampling, prospecting, and ground-based induced polarization (IP) surveys to prioritize VMS-style copper-zinc targets in the Jumbo-Red Lode and Crabb Brook areas.
• Recent 2024-2025 drilling has identified significant copper mineralization, including a 54.8 m interval at 0.32% Cu with higher-grade sub-intervals up to 5.43% Cu, though no mineral resources or reserves have been defined to date.

Key Details

• Report Filing: NI 43-101 Technical Report filed December 24, 2025 (effective December 9, 2025) for the Sting Copper Property.
• Qualified Person: Alexander Timofeev, PhD, PGeo, of Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd.
• Project Location & Size: ~3,675 hectares in western Newfoundland & Labrador, situated within the Bay of Islands ophiolite complex; 100% owned by Aventis Energy.
• Exploration Recommendations: Conduct phase 1 soil sampling and prospecting to refine priority targets, followed by a ground-based IP survey to better define chargeability responses and prioritize future drill testing.
• Key Target Areas: Jumbo-Red Lode and Crabb Brook claim blocks, specifically Buck Head Brook, the headwaters area, and an eastern chargeability anomaly identified via VTEM data.
• Recent Drilling Results (2024-2025): 54.8 m at 0.32% Cu starting at 27.0 m depth; includes six samples (>0.5 m length) grading 0.96% to 5.43% Cu; notable high-grade intervals include 0.5 m at 2.85% Cu and 0.5 m at 1.92% Cu, plus a broader 31.1 m interval at 0.27% Cu.
• QA/QC Protocols: Samples processed at accredited laboratories using ICP-based multielement methods; QA/QC includes certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicate samples inserted at regular intervals.
• Resource Status: Early-stage exploration project with no defined mineral resource or reserve estimates per NI 43-101 standards.
• Historical Data Note: Historical exploration data from previous operators is included as an exploration guide but has not been verified by a qualified person.
