METALEX COMMENCES DRILLING OF COPPER-NICKEL-COBALT TARGETS AT B3 CLAIM BLOCK IN QUEBEC
Claim Block B3 (Copper-Nickel-Cobalt)
The 24,322 hectare B3 claim block was staked due to the Company's heavy mineral and soil-till sampling indicating it contains copper-nickel-cobalt sulphides. Metalex has undertaken a VTEM airborne geophysical survey over its B3 claim block by Geotech Ltd.
The VTEM survey, which included both electromagnetic and magnetic data, was reviewed by SHA Geophysics Inc. Their work indicates that eight of the conductors detected by the electromagnetic survey are thought to likely represent sulphide mineralization. These are shown on Map 1.
Drilling has now commenced on the first of these conductors.
Claim Blocks A1 and A2 (Gold)
When drilling at the B3 copper-nickel-cobalt project is complete Metalex hopes to move the drill to its A1 and A2 claim blocks staked for gold. These claim blocks were staked due to the promising gold and pathfinder element results from detailed heavy mineral sampling of the areas. A VTEM survey over the claim blocks identified several conductive and magnetic anomalies that could be the bedrock source of the gold.
Regional Exploration
The Company also intends to complete follow up heavy mineral sampling on gold anomalies identified by its +/- 10,000 sample regional database in Quebec. 185 gold anomalies thought to reflect bedrock rather than placer sources have been discovered in the survey.
The technical information and results reported here have been reviewed by Mr. Chad Ulansky P.Geo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, who is responsible for the technical content of this release.

Trident Resources To Commence 5,000m Diamond Drilling Program on Contact Lake High-Grade Gold Project, Saskatchewan
Vancouver, BC, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trident Resources Corp. (TSX-V: ROCK) (OTCQB: TRDTF) ('Trident' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce detailed plans for its upcoming inaugural drill program at the Contact Lake Gold Project in Saskatchewan's underexplored and prolific La Ronge Gold Belt. Trident enters this program with over CAD $11 million in cash and marketable securities, fully funding this drill program and positioning the Company to act swiftly on future exploration opportunities across its Saskatchewan portfolio. Contact Lake Project Location Map: 'With drilling to be underway within the next week, we are excited to build on our proven track record of discovery and resource growth in the La Ronge Gold District. We believe our gold assets have the potential to become a tier 1 project in Canada and provide a strong foundation for value creation. We are also optimistic that our systematic exploration methodology will deliver success with additional new discoveries in our underexplored district scale land package,' said Jonathan Wiesblatt, CEO of Trident. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW The drill program at the Contact Lake mine site will comprise of 5,000 metres across 16 holes with the aim of confirming and extending gold mineralization along strike and down-dip from the historically defined gold mineral resources. The Contact Lake mine was operated by Cameco between December 1994 to May 1998 when 1,006,673 tonnes of ore were processed at a head grade of 6.16 grams per tonne (g/t) Au for a reported 188,185 ounces of gold (Au) recovered with life of mill recovery rate stated at 95%. Contact Lake hosts significant underground infrastructure and exploration potential in the areas immediately adjacent to the underground development. Cameco reported that substantial historically defined gold resources were left in the ground when mining activities were terminated at a time when the gold price was approximately $300/ounce. Contact Lake Gold Project Plan View: The Contact Lake deposit is hosted within the northeast trending Bakos shear zone, which cuts through the granitic portion of the Little Deer Lake composite pluton. The auriferous Bakos shear zone has been drill-defined at between 15 to 40 metres in width over a strike length of greater than 2 km. The 2025 drilling will focus on extending gold mineralization between the underground development and the unmined resources of the BK3 zone, located immediately northeast of the former mine site. Drilling will also target down-dip extensions of the high-grade gold mineralization of the main zone as these types of shear-hosted gold deposits commonly extend at depth providing strong discovery potential below the currently defined dimensions of the Contact Lake deposit. Cyr Drilling from Winnipeg, Manitoba, has been chosen as the drill contractor and is mobilizing their personnel and drill equipment to Contact Lake. All drill cores will be logged, photographed and processed on site throughout the program. Data collection will include geologic, geotechnical and a full 48 element analytical suite in conjunction with a comprehensive QA / QC program with lab-certified standards, field blanks and duplicates comprising >10% of the sample stream. All 2025 data will be incorporated into the existing Contact Lake database and utilized in future exploration programs on the project. Location Map of Planned Drill Holes: The initial drill holes of the 2025 program will be focused on the discovery of shallow gold mineralization immediately northeast of the Contact Lake Main Zone (MZ1), which produced the majority of gold resources during mining operations. The second phase of drilling will target zones at moderate depth (200-250 metres below surface) that lie between the MZ1 zone and the BK3 zone. The BK3 zone is located 150 metres northeast of MZ1, below the western edge of Contact Lake and is reported to host substantial gold resources that were never mined. The final phase of the 2025 drill program will target the down-plunge extension of the gold mineralization in both the MZ1 and MZ2 zones. Drilling will target the heart of the past-producing Contact Lake Mine, following up on historical high-grade intercepts including: ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Qualified Person: The scientific and technical data contained in this news release was approved by Cornell McDowell, a non-independent 'qualified person' under the National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure of Mineral Projects.

Pan American Silver takes major stake in Galleon Gold
Top gold and silver producer Pan American Silver (TSX:PAAS) made an C$8 million investment in junior miner Galleon Gold (TSXV:GGO) through a non-brokered private placement Galleon Gold is an exploration and development company advancing a preliminary economic assessment-stage project in Timmins, Ontario Galleon Gold stock has added 164.47 per cent year-over-year Top gold and silver producer Pan American Silver (TSX:PAAS) made an C$8 million investment in junior miner Galleon Gold (TSXV:GGO) through a non-brokered private placement. This content has been prepared as part of a partnership with Galleon Gold Corp., and is intended for informational purposes only. The funding is in the form of unsecured convertible debt financing, and is tied to a memorandum of understanding with Pan American subsidiary Lake Shore Gold for toll processing of mineralized materials from Galleon's planned 86,500-ton bulk sample from its West Cache gold project in Timmins, Ontario, at Pan American's Bell Creek Mill about 40 km east. Pan American oversees producing mines in Canada, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina, in addition to a global exploration and development portfolio prospective for untapped resources, and delivered record net earnings of US$189.6 million in Q2 2025. The gold and silver producer agreed to a 36-month debenture, bearing interest at 10 per cent annually, that is payable in cash or shares and convertible at its discretion into Galleon Gold shares priced at C$0.45. Post conversion, Pan American would own a 19.59 per cent position in Galleon on a partially diluted basis and an 11.30 per cent position on a fully diluted basis, with the potential to expand to and maintain a 19.9 per cent position on a fully diluted basis in future financings. Galleon may repay the debenture in whole or in part any time beginning on the second anniversary from issuance. The junior miner will use the proceeds for surface development of the West Cache bulk sample. The 11,580-hectare project yielded a 2022 preliminary economic assessment detailing a C$1.17 billion net present value at a base-case of US$3,500 per ounce of gold, initial costs of only C$150 million and an after-tax payback period of only 3.3 years. A mineral resource estimate from the same year details 472,000 ounces indicated and 1.08 million ounces inferred. Leadership insights 'Pan American is a well-established operator in the Timmins mining camp and we welcome their strategic investment and endorsement of the project and of our team,' R. David Russell, Galleon Gold's president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. 'Our metallurgical testing indicates processing at the Bell Creek Mill will yield excellent gold recoveries and dovetail well with Bell Creek's current milling operations. Pan American has a proven template of hauling ore from their Timmins West Complex, located adjacent to West Cache, to their Bell Creek operations. We expect the toll milling arrangement will be beneficial to both companies and we look forward to working with their team to finalize the definitive agreement and progress towards Galleon Gold's first pour.' About Galleon Gold Galleon Gold is an exploration and development company advancing a preliminary economic assessment-stage project in Timmins, Ontario. Galleon Gold stock (TSXV:GGO) last traded at C$0.50. The stock has added 164.47 per cent year-over-year.
