Nevada Sunrise starts fall exploration at Griffon

Executive Summary

• Nevada Sunrise Metals Corp. has commenced its fall 2025 exploration program at the Griffon Gold Mine Project in White Pine County, Nevada, focusing on high-priority target areas identified by AI predictive modeling.
• The company has engaged APEX Geoscience (USA) Ltd. to conduct initial exploration activities, including a comprehensive soil survey and ground magnetic surveys, to define potential gold occurrences in the unmined Anvil zone south of the Hammer Ridge open pit.
• Additional planned activities include induced polarization/resistivity (IP) and controlled source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) geophysical surveys, as well as multielement geochemical analysis of historical drill cuttings to identify new drill targets.

Key Details

• Project Location: Griffon Gold Mine Project, White Pine County, Nevada, located within the Battle Mountain-Eureka gold belt, approximately 50 km southwest of Ely, Nevada.
• Property Interest: Nevada Sunrise holds the right to purchase a 100% interest in the project via a mining lease entered into in February 2025. The property consists of 89 unpatented mineral claims totaling approximately 1,780 acres (720 hectares).
• Historical Production: The site was a past-producing gold mine (1998–1999) with reported production of 62,661 ounces of oxide gold.
• Primary Contractor: APEX Geoscience (USA) Ltd. of Reno, Nevada, engaged for the first components of the fall 2025 program.
• Target Area: The unmined area south of the Hammer Ridge open pit, specifically the "Anvil zone," identified by AI predictive modeling by Vrify Technology Inc.
• Active Exploration Activities:
  • Soil Survey: Up to 700 samples using ionic leach and soil gas hydrocarbon (SGH) methods.
  • Geophysical Survey: Walking mag ground geophysical survey (high-resolution 2025 ground magnetics), representing the first survey of its type at Griffon.
• Planned Exploration Activities:
  • Geophysics: Induced polarization/resistivity (IP) and controlled source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) ground surveys to characterize geological structures.
  • Geochemistry: Multielement analysis of reverse circulation (RC) drill cuttings collected by Fremont Gold Ltd. in 2020. The analysis will include antimony, arsenic, thallium, mercury, and other pathfinder elements to provide vectors for new drill targets.
• Qualified Person: Robert Allender Jr., CPG, SME, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information.
• Management Commentary: CEO Warren Stanyer highlighted momentum at Griffon, citing the prospective nature of the Nevada gold trend, the quality of projects in the Battle Mountain-Eureka belt, and recent U.S. government support for domestic mineral projects.

Notable Quotes

• "Our momentum is building at Griffon within a Nevada gold trend that is one of the most prospective areas to explore for gold in the United States," said Warren Stanyer, president and chief executive officer of Nevada Sunrise. "The existing deposits and mines in the Battle Mountain-Eureka gold belt are attracting attention worldwide because of the quality of the projects, the state of Nevada's positive reputation in the mining business and a recent groundswell of American government support for mineral projects in the USA."
