MAXUS MINING HIGHLIGHTS ANTIMONY RESULTS AT THE HURLEY PROJECT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
Maxus Mining Inc. has released the results from the 2025 exploration program at the Hurley project, located in the prolific Bralorne mining district in British Columbia. The company engaged Palliser Exploration to complete a reconnaissance field program over both blocks of the property. The field program was focused on evaluating targets that were generated by the company after a compilation of all available historical assessment reports.
2025 Hurley exploration highlights:
The program confirmed antimony mineralization highlighted by 9.33 per cent Sb (H038512; quartz vein in talus) and 0.18 per cent Sb (H038531; outcrop; stibnite-mineralized quartz veins).
The program confirmed gold mineralization from quartz veins in outcrop samples, highlighted by 11.60 grams per tonne gold (H038576), 2.20 g/t Au (H038578) and 1.99 g/t Au (H038579).
Desktop compilation of available assessment reports, combined with the program results, demonstrates polymetallic characteristics that support the district-scale exploration potential of the property.
"These results from Hurley underscore the strength of Maxus's diversified exploration strategy in British Columbia," said Scott Walters, chief executive officer of Maxus Mining. "High-grade antimony and gold mineralization identified at surface, combined with compelling historical data sets, demonstrate the potential importance of Hurley within our antimony-focused portfolio and provide a strong technical foundation for follow-up exploration."
2025 Hurley project exploration program
The company's technical team reviewed over 10 historic assessment reports covering the property and compiled the results into a central GIS (geographic information system) database. This work highlighted favourable geology and targets for potential mineralization at Hurley and outlined several exploration targets across the property as well as pathfinder element anomalies in historic soil data sets.
Following the desktop compilation, the company initiated a field reconnaissance program to evaluate the generated target areas. During the field program, multiple high-grade gold and antimony occurrences associated with mineralized quartz veins hosted in granodiorite were documented.
Several outcrop samples returned significant gold anomalies from mineralized quartz veins in granodiorite, including 11.60 g/t Au (H038576), 2.20 g/t Au (H038578) and 1.99 g/t Au (H038579). These samples are located proximal to areas of historic gold-in-soil anomalies and within the Hurley East claim block.
Antimony mineralization is highlighted by a peak result returning 9.33 per cent Sb from a mineralized quartz vein in talus material (H038512) that is associated with highly anomalous silver (153 g/t Ag) and elevated copper (349 parts per million Cu). In addition, an outcrop sample containing stibnite-mineralized quartz veins (H038531) near the Waterloo area returned 0.18 per cent Sb. These occurrences coincide with regional historic soil anomalies of antimony, zinc and lead and further support a broader polymetallic mineralizing system on the property.
The Hurley 2025 exploration surface sampling results verify the presence of high-grade gold and antimony mineralization on the property and support the historical geochemical anomalies.
Sample preparation and analytical procedures
Rock samples were collected by Palliser field crews with sample locations (in NAD83 UTM zone 10 co-ordinates), descriptions, visual characteristics and photographs recorded in the field. Each sample was assigned a unique sample ID and placed into a labelled sample bag along with a corresponding sample tag. Samples were stored securely during the program and transported directly by Palliser personnel to Agat Laboratories in Calgary, Alta., for sample preparation and geochemical analysis. Agat Laboratories is accredited to ISO 9001:2015 ISO/IEC 17025 for specific analytical methods.
The following sample preparation, analysis, and quality assurance and quality control methods were performed:
Dry less than five kilograms, crush to 75 per cent passing two millimetres and split to 250 grams (method code 200-075);
Pulverize to 85 per cent passing 75 microns (method code 200-087);
Metals by four-acid digest, inductively coupled plasma -- optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) (201-070);
Gold by fire assay (202-551);
If gold greater than 10 g/t, run gravimetric (202-564);
If metals greater than 10,000 ppm, ran overlimit four-acid digest, ICP-OES or ICP-MS (mass spectrometry);
A certified reference material or blank was inserted at a frequency of one in 10 samples.
A minimum of two Maxus personnel received all Agat Laboratories assay certificates.

About Maxus Mining Inc.
Maxus Mining is a mineral exploration company focused on locating, acquiring and, if warranted, advancing economic mineral properties in premier jurisdictions. The company is actively progressing its diversified portfolio totalling approximately 15,098 hectares of prospective terrain across British Columbia, Canada.
The portfolio includes 8,920 hectares across three antimony projects, anchored by the flagship Alturas antimony project, where a recent discovery returned high-grade naturally occurring antimony up to 69.98 per cent Sb. The Hurley antimony project, located adjacent to Endurance Gold Corp.'s Reliance gold project, where 2024 drilling reported 19.2 per cent Sb and 2.16 g/t Au over 0.5 metre, and the Quarry antimony project, which hosts historical polymetallic samples grading 0.89 g/t Au, 3.8 per cent Cu, 0.34 per cent Zn, 42.5 per cent Pb, 0.65 g/t Ag and 20 per cent Sb.
Maxus's portfolio further includes the 3,054-hectare Lotto tungsten project, where a selected 1980 grab sample from a scheelite-bearing quartz vein assayed 10.97 per cent WO3 (tungsten trioxide), and the 3,123-hectare Penny copper project, which has over 100 years of recorded exploration. Recent work programs at Penny included rock sampling and geological mapping, with 2017 sampling returning copper values of 1,046 ppm Cu (TK17-149c), 1,808 ppm Cu (TK17-28) and 2,388 ppm Cu (TK17-12). The project is strategically located near the historic Sullivan mine at Kimberley, B.C., an area that continues to attract significant exploration activity.
Maxus is committed to advancing its British Columbia projects through targeted exploration programs designed to unlock value across multiple critical mineral systems.
