Anteros Secures Knob Lake Property Mineral Tenure to 2030

Yahoo05-02-2025

St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2025) - Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) ("Anteros" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful filing of the Knob Lake Property NI 43-101 Technical Report (the "Report") with the government of Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Industry, Energy and Technology ("IETNL"). The approval of the Report's expenditures as assessment credits and the recent renewal of the mineral licence has secured the Company's mineral tenure at the Knob Lake Property until 2030.
The Knob Lake Property (the "Property") hosts a high-grade Iron and Manganese deposit located in an active mining jurisdiction in Labrador, near Schefferville Québec. The Property is 100% owned by Anteros and is strategically located close to necessary infrastructure such as hydropower and rail facilities, supporting the potential for future operational developments.
PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS
Historic Mineral Resource Estimate1 with favorable metallurgical testing, and a current NI 43-101 Technical Report, available on SEDAR + (www.sedarplus.ca)
Approximately 2,750 metres of historical drilling, 1,246 metres of which was conducted after 2006
Favourable Synclinal structure centred over iron-rich members of the Sokoman Formation
Road-accessible with active rail rights-of-way and proximity to modern hydropower lines
Active Exploration Approval from the Mineral Lands Division of IETNL
Long-term mineral tenure security within an active iron mining jurisdiction
LOCATION AND MINERAL TENURE
The Knob Lake Iron and Manganese Deposit is located in western Labrador 2.5 kilometres south of Schefferville, Québec, 1.5 kilometres east of the James Iron Deposit, and 2.3 kilometres southeast of the former Silver Yards beneficiation plant at Ruth Lake. The Property is road accessible from the town of Schefferville (Figure 1). The mineral licence consists of three contiguous mineral claim units, covering an area of 75 hectares that are in good standing until October 28, 2030.

GEOLOGY AND MINERALIZATION
The Labrador Trough, straddling parts of Labrador and Québec, is known for Superior-type iron formations that have been explored and mined for iron since 1954. The principal iron formation unit of the area, is the Sokoman Formation, a 30 to 350 metre-thick iron-rich stratigraphic unit running along the length of the Labrador Trough. The lower and middle members of the Sokoman Formation are the most economically important, responsible for world-class iron-ore deposits commonly containing more than 50% hematite and magnetite. The Property is positioned over a synclinal fold structure affecting the Sokoman Formation (Figure 2) and is viewed as favourable for iron mining in the district.

HISTORICAL RESOURCES
Mineral exploration at the Property began in the 1970s when the Iron Ore Company of Canada conducted reverse circulation ("RC") drilling, diamond drilling, and trenching, producing a mineral inventory on the Property in 1982. In the decade following 2006, Labrador Iron Mines Ltd. conducted diamond drilling and RC drilling, along with LiDAR surveying and airborne gravity and magnetic surveying over the Property, and commissioned an inaugural mineral resource estimate ("MRE") for the Property in 2012 which was updated in 2014. The 2014 MRE is summarized in Table 1.

1The mineral resource for the Knob Lake Deposit (Dupéré, 2014) is considered historical in accordance with NI 43-101 (see paragraph below for important disclosures regarding historical resources) 2Historical mineral resources are rounded to the nearest 10,000 tonnes3Historical mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability
This historical mineral resource estimate is from a Technical Report entitled Technical Report: Schefferville Area Phase I DSO Iron Projects Resource Update, Western Labrador - NE Québec, Canada by Maxime Dupéré dated June 27, 2014 and is filed on SEDAR+. The Technical Report was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), NI 43-101F1, and with CIM standards and Mineral Resource best practices. The independent Qualified Person believed project data was suitable for mineral resource estimation at that time. The stated resource uses an iron cut-off grade of 50%, and grades were not capped. An independent Qualified Person will be required to compile and validate historic Property data, model the data, and estimate the mineral resource to obtain a current mineral resource. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource and Anteros Metals Incorporated is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource.
