Omineca Mining begins winter drilling at Wingdam

Executive Summary

• Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd. has initiated its 2025 winter diamond drill program at the Wingdam exploration project in the Cariboo mining district of British Columbia.
• The program consists of eight holes totaling 4,000 meters, designed to follow up on anomalous gold, copper, lead, and zinc concentrations identified in the 2024 program.
• Drilling targets include continuation of mineralization at depth below the Wingdam underground placer workings, areas downdip of the ultramafic unit intersected in hole WD24-37, and along the Eureka thrust fault toward a UAV magnetic high.

Key Details

• Program Scope: Eight-hole, 4,000-metre diamond drill program.
• Timeline: Drilling is expected to run through December 2025, with results anticipated to be reported early in the new year.
• Geological Context: The program assumes Lightning Creek may have once flowed west to east before reversing to its present westward flow. The lode source of placer gold may be related to the Eureka thrust fault system.
• Previous Results (2024): The prior program intercepted anomalous gold, copper, lead, and zinc concentrations associated with semi-massive to massive sulphides in ultramafic rocks, mineralized quartz veins, and the Eureka Fault zone.
• 2025 Drilling Targets:
  • Continuation drilling further to depth at elevations below the Wingdam underground placer workings.
  • Areas downdip of mineralization in the ultramafic unit intersected in hole WD24-37.
  • Southeast of WD24-37, along strike of the mapped Eureka thrust fault toward the UAV magnetic high.
  • Deep holes to determine if quartz veins identified in holes WD24-38 to WD24-40 continue at depth.
• Qualified Person: Stephen Kocsis, PGeo, lead geologist.
