Azimut Obtains High-Grade Gold Results from Channel Sampling on the Rosa Zone, Wabamisk Project, James Bay, Quebec
None
The October 28, 2025 press release announces high-grade gold results from channel sampling at the newly discovered Rosa Zone on its 100%-owned Wabamisk Project in Quebec. Key results include: - Dom Trench: 3.0 metres grading 23.0 g/t Au (open interval). - Gesu Trench: 4.0 metres grading 30.17 g/t Au (open interval).
The release also provides an update on the ongoing diamond drilling program at the Rosa Zone. The program has been expanded from 1,500 metres to at least 2,000 metres. To date, 10 holes totaling 1,362 metres have been completed, and visible gold has been observed in five of these holes. Assay results for the drilling are still pending.
This news is materially positive as it systematically confirms the high-grade surface nature of the Rosa Zone discovery, which was first announced with grab sample results on August 28, 2025.

Progression of News:
- Aug 28, 2025: Initial discovery of the Rosa Zone with high-grade grab samples (up to 42.0 g/t Au). A fall drilling program was announced.
- Sep 29, 2025: The company announced the start of a 1,500-metre maiden drilling program at the Rosa Zone.
- Oct 28, 2025 (Current News): This release provides excellent channel sample results, which are more representative than grab samples and reinforce the potential of the zone. The expansion of the drill program and the observation of visible gold in multiple drill holes are strong positive indicators that mineralization continues at depth.

Impact Analysis:
- Positive: The grades are exceptional for channel samples and build significant confidence in the prospectivity of the Rosa Zone. It is a logical and successful step in de-risking the target ahead of drill results.
- Neutral/Risk: The crucial information—diamond drill assays—remains pending. Surface results and visible gold are highly encouraging but do not guarantee economic widths or grade continuity at depth. Expectations for the pending drill results are now very high, creating a potential "sell the news" scenario if the assays, while good, do not exceed these elevated expectations.
This news confirms the thesis that Rosa is a significant high-grade gold discovery. However, the market is now waiting for the drill bit to prove the concept. The positive price action since the discovery in late August reflects this growing anticipation.
Azimut Exploration is a Quebec-based project generator that uses a proprietary big data approach (AZtechMine™) to identify large-scale mineral potential. The company maintains the largest exploration portfolio in Quebec and advances projects through strategic partnerships with major mining companies.
While its official flagship is the Elmer Project, which hosts the Patwon gold deposit (311k oz Indicated, 514k oz Inferred) and is at the scoping study stage, the market's current focus is squarely on the Wabamisk Property. This 100%-owned property is emerging as a multi-discovery asset, hosting: 1. The Fortin Antimony-Gold Zone: A large, developing antimony system. 2. The Rosa Gold Zone: A new, high-grade gold discovery (subject of the latest news). 3. The Wabamisk East Lithium discovery: A spodumene pegmatite field under an option agreement with Rio Tinto.
