Maxus launches exploration partnership with Palliser

Mr. Scott Walters reports MAXUS MINING PARTNERS WITH PALLISER EXPLORATION AND COMMENCES PROJECT EVALUATION OF FOUR CRITICAL MINERALS PROPERTIES Maxus Mining Inc. has launched its 2025 exploration partnership with Palliser Exploration Ltd. across its four critical minerals projects: the Quarry project, Hurley project, Lotto project and the Alturas project located in British Columbia, Canada. The company has contracted Palliser to execute its upcoming 2025 field program. Palliser is an experienced geologic and exploration consultancy with a proven record of successful project delivery. The program involves on-site field evaluation of all four properties, aimed at gaining a better understanding of the geological and structural controls on mineralization at each project site. Field teams are expected to mobilize on Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025. "Partnering with Palliser Exploration represents an exciting step forward for Maxus as we advance our critical mineral projects in British Columbia," stated Scott Walters, chief executive officer of Maxus. "Palliser brings proven expertise in project execution and geological evaluation, which will be instrumental in unlocking the potential of our portfolio. We look forward to updating shareholders as the 2025 exploration program progresses." Quarry project The 2,632-hectare property is located on the north side of the Osilinka River, between Tenakhi and Wasi creeks, approximately 46 kilometres northwest of Germansen Landing. The historic Quarry showing is exposed in a limestone quarry, where recrystallized and dolomitized limestones of the Neoproterozoic Ingenika Group host mineralized quartz veins. Documented minerals include sphalerite, galena, cerussite, chalcopyrite, boulangerite, malachite, azurite and possibly stibnite1. Historical sampling highlights the property's high-grade potential. In 1991, a sample returned assays of 20 per cent Sb (antimony), 0.89 g/t (gram per tonne) Au (gold), 3.8 per cent Cu (copper), 42.5 per cent Pb (lead and 0.65 g/t Ag (silver). Earlier grab samples collected in 1954 averaged 83.5 per cent Pb and 1575 g/t Ag. The site offers reliable, year-round access, supporting ongoing exploration initiatives. Hurley project The project consists of two blocks of claims, Hurley East block and Hurley West block, and is situated seven kilometres southeast of the village of Gold Bridge, and 10 kilometres east of the historic Bralorne-Pioneer gold mining camp which has produced over four million ounces of gold. Soil and vegetation sampling in the surrounding areas indicate there is a strong positive geochemical correlation in the soil samples between gold and associated elements silver (plus 0.69), As (arsenic) (plus 0.86) and Sb (plus 0.84). Hurley East block At the Hurley East block, the adjacent Reliance gold project reported intervals that include 19.2 per cent Sb and 2.16 g/t Au over 0.5 m encountered during its 2024 drilling campaign. A total of 199 gold assay composites were recalculated to include antimony results from the 108 DDH, 84 RC and 24 road-cut channels completed by Endurance Gold which has resulted in a composite average sampled length of 10.1 metres and weighted average grade of 4.55 gpt gold, 0.20 per cent antimony and 4.97 gpt AuEq (gold equivalent). The Hurley East block is underlain by undivided sedimentary rocks of the Cayoosh Assemblage which is of Jurassic to Cretaceous Age as well as marine and sedimentary rocks of the Bridge River complex of Middle Mississippian to Middle Jurassic Age. The Cayoosh Assemblage and the Bridge River complex are separated by northwest-trending fault contacts. The Hurley East block is to the immediate south of a gold-antimony past producer named the Mary Mac Main zone and a developed gold-antimony prospect. The host rocks at the Mary Mac prospect are analogous to those on the property. Mary Mac produced four tonnes of stibnite/day with the grades reaching 20 per cent over 2.1 metres and reserves of 13.6 to 18.1 thousand tonnes. Indicated reserves for the Mary Mac Main zone have been reported to be 78,500 tonnes at 2.9 grams/tonne gold and the North zone it was 39,200 tonnes at 2.3 grams/tonne gold4. Mary Mac South zone mineralization consists of globular stibnite (antimony ore mineral -- Sb2S3) and pyrite; where historical reserves calculated in 1983 are 27,300 tonnes at 8.18 grams/tonne gold. Gray Rock, a past producer, is located immediately west of the southern boundary and reportedly contains 70,488 tonnes of proven, probable and possible historical reserves grading 3 per cent Sb, 2.1 per cent Pb and 342.8 grams/tonne Ag. The mineralized corridor appears to trend onto the project, where past work identified rock, soil and silt samples within the centre of the property anomalous in antimony, gold and silver. Hurley West block At the Hurley West block, three narrow quartz-calcite veins containing minor disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite and stibnite occur in a quartz diorite stock near the contact with Hurley sediments and volcanics. The southwestern part of the historical Stibnite prospect is located just east of the Hurley West block and consists of 25-centimetre-wide veins in 60-metre-long shears with an average grade of 8.9 per cent antimony. The Hurley West block is underlain by marine and sedimentary rocks of the Bridge River complex. Lotto project The Lotto tungsten project lies within the Kootenay region and Trail Creek mining division of British Columbia, a prolific mineral district known for its resource potential and well-developed infrastructure that support sustained exploration activity. Lotto is located 19 km west-southwest of Castlegar on the Crowsnest Highway and consists of 426 hectares. Lotto contains the Lotto 3 showing which consists of scheelite (tungsten mineral) mineralization within a nine-metre-wide quartz vein exposed along a highway road cut. Disseminated scheelite occurs in quartz veins just northwest of the main showing and in several places west of the highway. A selected grab sample taken in 1980 from a quartz vein with scheelite assayed 10.97 per cent WO3.Furthermore, in 2006, Astral Mining Corp. conducted a helicopter-borne geophysical (electromagnetic survey on the area as part of the JJ property) which showed the area is underlain by Paleozoic argillaceous quartzites and argillites which may be part of the Lower Jurassic Rossland Group. These metamorphosed sediments have been intruded by the Middle to late Jurassic Nelson intrusions, comprising mainly granite and granodiorite, and then later by Middle Eocene Coryell intrusion syenite and associated dikes. Alturas project The project comprised two claim blocks, Alturas West, positioned on the area of Dolly Varden, and Alturas East, positioned between Whitewater and Brennan Mountains roughly 29 kilometres northeast of New Denver, B.C. The region is recognized for its strong antimony, silver and gold potential. Alturas West The Alturas West property covers a shear zone overprinted by quartz veining hosting disseminated pyrite and argentiferous tetrahedrite with minor stibnite and chalcopyrite. The vein system strikes east, dipping 55 degrees north. Quartz veining is 0.6 to 3.6 metres thick and has been traced for 600 metres along strike. A four-kilogram sample of dumped material from a historic adit on the property assayed 1.3 grams per ton Au and 1,596 grams per ton Ag. There is a lack of geological information on the occurrence, however, the 1928 Minister of Mines Annual Report describes a 1.2 m quartz vein which carries disseminated to massive stibnite hosted in (or associated with) serpentinite ultramafic rock locally altered to listwanite quartz-carbonate-mariposite. The Alturas West block had a recent antimony discovery saw ultrahigh-grade naturally occurring antimony at their Alturas project returning assays up to 69.98 per cent Sb. Alturas East The Alturas East property is situated two kilometres northwest along strike of the Highland Surprise mine, a past-producing mine defined by polymetallic veins containing gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper. The property hosts the Olympus East and West historic showings, which are outlined by northeast-striking subparallel veins associated with mineralization styles similar to the Highland Surprise mine (gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper). This highlights the multielement potential of the Alturas East area. Historic surface sampling in the Olympus East and West showings uncovered grades of 6.56 ounces per ton Ag; 0.95 per cent Cu; 3.90 per cent Pb; and 9.32 per cent Zn. A shear zone trending 330 degrees has been mapped across the property, intersecting the serpentinite body along its western margin.
