Torr Metals Intersects Copper Sulphides and Potassic Alteration in Emerging Cu-Au Porphyry System at Bertha North

No assays yet - potassic alteration is a vector, not an ore intercept.

Executive Summary

Torr Metals provides a geological update from Phase II drilling at the Bertha North target, Kolos Cu-Au Project, British Columbia.
1,733 m of drilling completed out of a planned, fully funded program of up to 6,000 m.
No laboratory assay results are reported for any drill holes; assays from the first three holes remain pending.
Hole 26-KO-03 logged a broad alteration sequence down to 609 m:
18-209 m: propylitic alteration with quartz-carbonate veining.
209-425 m: argillic alteration with faulting and brecciation.
425-529 m: sericitic and potassic-altered intrusive corridor.
425-444 m: interpreted K-feldspar-dominant potassic-altered intermediate intrusive.
529-609 m: moderate to strong argillic alteration to end of hole.
In hole 26-KO-03, chalcocite was observed in veinlets concentrated along margins of the interpreted potassic-altered intrusive.
Hole 26-KO-04 is at approximately 180 m and has intersected native copper in near-surface veins and pyrite-chalcopyrite veinlets near the outer margin of the chargeability anomaly.
The company states the geological observations provide a vector toward a potential porphyry core, analogous to New Afton.
The release explicitly says petrographic, geochemical and laboratory confirmation is still required.

Material Impact

Torr Metals is a pre-resource exploration company with no revenue.
This release does not define a resource, convert tonnes, or provide evidence of economic grade.
The market has not re-rated on Bertha North drilling:
The stock is near its 52-week low at C$0.10.
Phase I Bertha results in January 2026 appear to have disappointed, with a sharp drop from C$0.19 to C$0.11.
There is no embedded expectation in the current price that Bertha North has already made a discovery.
In that context, the update is not a negative, but it is also not material:
The geological vector is coherent and mildly encouraging.
There are no grades to change the thesis.
The correct treatment is ordinary news flow: wait for assays.
