CDN Maverick recovers historical drill core at Nottaway

Mr. Sandy MacDougall reports CDN MAVERICK RECOVERS HISTORICAL DRILL CORE AT NOTTAWAY ZN-AG-PB-AU PROJECT AND RAISES $504,000 THROUGH WARRANT EXERCISE CDN Maverick Capital Corp. has obtained and commenced logging and assaying core from five 2015 diamond drill holes completed by Soquem Inc. on the company's Nottaway zinc-silver-lead-gold project, located within the Opatica subprovince of Northern Quebec. "The recovery of this core gives Maverick an enormous advantage. Not only can we directly verify the historical base metal results, but we can now assay for lithium and other critical minerals known to be prolific in the greenstone belt, opening a massive new exploration potential and upside. With recent exercise of warrants, we are fully funded for future planned work," stated Sandy MacDougall, chairman and director. Soquem drilled five NQ diamond drill holes (1393-15-01 to 1393-15-05) totalling 875 metres to test electromagnetic (EM) conductors outlined by airborne SkyTEM and ground MaxMin surveys. Drilling intersected massive pyrrhotite-pyrite horizons with anomalous zinc, lead and silver values -- features consistent with a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) environment hosted in amphibolite-grade mafic volcanics along the Nottaway shear corridor. The following table highlights some of the most notable results. Subsequent geophysical reinterpretation by Michel Allard (2017; report GM71706) incorporated into Maverick's 2025 National Instrument 43-101 technical report (available on SEDAR+), demonstrates that the principal subsurface conductors were missed due to drill orientation and positioning. The strongest Maxwell plate, modelled at 500 siemens per metre, remains untested. This reinterpretation explains why the earlier program fell short and reinforces the need for follow-up drilling. The core from 2015 is being relogged, photographed and reassayed under the supervision of Clyde McMillan, MSc, PGeo (OGQ No. 2193). A total of 65 half-core and quarter-core samples have been collected and are being submitted to ALS Laboratories for multielement analysis. Importantly, several pegmatitic and felsic intervals in the recovered core were never analyzed for lithium or other critical elements as the regional lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatite potential was unrecognized in 2015. The company will reassay these sections to evaluate their critical metal potential. The Nottaway project lies approximately 45 kilometres southeast of Q2 Metals Corp.'s Cisco lithium discovery, within the same greenstone belt now known to host both VMS and lithium-bearing pegmatite systems. Simon D. Studer, interim chief executive officer, commented: "Recovering the complete Soquem core gives us a direct link to the early discovery history of the underexplored southern extension of the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt. We can now revisit what was drilled a decade ago with a new lens -- one that sees both the potential VMS system they came close to and the lithium potential no one recognized before Cisco. It's rare to reopen a project with this level of technical insight and strategic head start." Photographs from the relogging and sampling campaign will be made available on the company's website. Analytical results will be reported once received and validated. On Oct. 30, 2025, 3.15 million outstanding share purchase warrants were exercised for a gross total proceeds of $504,000. The company is now fully financed for the next planned phases of work.
