Inventus Reports 4.0 gpt Gold and 1.50 Metre Average for Trench 1 North Grade-Control Drilling and Provides Bulk Sample Update at the Pardo Gold Project

Executive Summary

• Inventus Mining released final grade‑control drilling results for the Trench 1 North bulk‑sample site, showing a weighted average of 4.00 g/t Au over 1.50 m and several high‑grade intercepts (up to 13.88 g/t Au over 1.20 m).
• The company has now delivered a total of 14,909 t of bulk sample material to McEwen’s Stock Mill (4,816 t from 007 North and 10,093 t from Trench 1) with processing slated for mid‑October to November 2025.
• These results reinforce the high‑grade, near‑surface nature of the Pardo gold system and support the company’s plan to demonstrate economics for a low‑cost, scalable surface mining operation in Ontario.

• Exploration Comment (Wesley Whymark, President & Head of Exploration): Emphasized validation of a consistent, high‑grade gold system and the importance of upcoming mill results for demonstrating surface‑mining economics.

Notable Quotes

“The Trench 1 North results are another strong validation of the high‑grade, near‑surface gold system at Pardo… we are positioned for an exciting period ahead as the gold price continues to climb and processing is set to begin on our 14,909 t of bulk sample material currently at the mill.” – Wesley Whymark, President & Head of Exploration.
