Imperial Provides Update on Fall of Ground Incident and Reports Production for 2025 Second Quarter at Red Chris Mine
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imperial Metals Corporation ('Imperial' or the 'Company') (TSX:III) provides an update on the two fall of ground incidents at the 30% owned Red Chris mine in northwest British Columbia. In coordination with industry partners, mine operator Newmont has deployed specialized drones to assess the geotechnical conditions underground. The debris blocking access to the underground area is estimated to be approximately 20 to 30 metres long and 7 to 8 metres high. The area of the refuge chambers is not in the same area as the fall of ground and is understood to be stable and well-ventilated. Newmont has commenced the use of a remote-controlled scoop, that was transported from the nearby Brucejack mine site, to begin removing debris and restore access beyond the incident site. Teams are restoring the specialized communication system (leaky feeder system) in attempts to re-establish communication with the workers. The workers are understood to be sheltering in a MineARC refuge chamber designed to support 16 people. Additional refuge chambers are also available nearby and accessible if required. Production at Red Chris mine has been paused to allow full focus on rescue efforts and re-establishing communication. Imperial also reports quarterly copper and gold production for the period ending June 30, 2025 from Red Chris mine. Red Chris mine production (100%) for the second quarter of 2025 was 23.479 million pounds copper and 22,624 ounces gold compared to 20.731 million pounds copper and 12,531 ounces gold during the second quarter of 2024. In the second quarter of 2025, Red Chris mine copper production was up 13% compared to the second quarter of 2024. The increase in copper production was a result of a 17% increase in copper grade (0.547% vs 0.466%), offset by a small decrease in throughput. Gold production in the second quarter of 2025 was up 81% from the second quarter of 2024 as result of the increased gold grades and better recovery, offset by slightly lower throughput. For the first six months of 2025, copper production was up 25% compared to the same period last year on higher copper grades and gold production was up 101% on higher gold grades and better recovery. 100% Red Chris mine production Three Months Ended June 30 Six Months Ended June 30 2025 2024 2025 2024 Ore milled - tonnes 2,393,788 2,489,532 4,443,263 4,589,886 Ore milled per calendar day – tonnes 26,305 27,357 24,414 25,219 Grade % - copper 0.547 0.466 0.580 0.450 Grade g/t – gold 0.490 0.302 0.514 0.284 Recovery % - copper 81.4 81.1 82.0 82.1 Recovery % - gold 60.0 51.8 60.3 52.6 Copper - 000's pounds 23,479 20,731 46,606 37,392 Gold – ounces 22,624 12,531 44,287 22,038 The Red Chris Block Cave Feasibility Study is advancing as are permitting activities and early-stage underground development work and other work to support the underground block cave project.

'Great time to buy': Real estate sales on P.E.I. up 52% in June, setting a monthly record
Social Sharing Real estate numbers for Prince Edward Island show a major increase in June sales, breaking a monthly record, while other Canadian cities saw a downward trend. Patty Castle, owner of Power House Realty, said one reason for the increase in sales could be that homes are cheaper on P.E.I. compared to other provinces. "[It's a] great time to buy right now, lots of inventory, lots of great prices," Castle said. She said she has clients from other provinces wanting to cash in on the Island's prices. WATCH | Housing market in P.E.I. stronger than in many other parts of Canada: Housing market in P.E.I. stronger than in many other parts of Canada 4 hours ago Numbers from the Canadian Real Estate Association show a 52 per cent increase in home and commercial sales in June compared to the same month last year. National average was up just 3.5 per cent over the same timeframe. But according to MLS system, which the association uses to track sales, last month's average home price was $403,987 — an increase of nearly 7 per cent over June 2024. Castle said the average time a house will be on the market in P.E.I. is about 60 days, and houses that are still priced as high as they would have been during the COVID-19 pandemic are sitting unsold for longer periods of time. 'Lots of opportunity' Tim Jackson, president of the P.E.I. Real Estate Association, said the Island housing market is becoming more balanced, but it still leans in favour of sellers. But, he said, prospective buyers have more options than they did in previous years. "Buyers have lots of opportunity to browse the market, they don't have to jump on the property right away, and buyers are able to make an informed decision," Jackson said. While there are government programs to help with affordability and more people are looking at rural areas or mini-homes, some Islanders are still finding the market to be a challenge. Even if the prices of houses are lower, you can't even make the money for a down payment. — Susan McGuirk, P.E.I. resident Island resident Marion Miller said home prices are still too expensive for everyone, especially for younger people. She bought her home in the 1970s for $40,000, but said people now are in different circumstances. With prices of most goods going up, she said, buying a house is no longer an option for a lot of people. "I think [prices] are very inflated as they are everywhere. People can't afford it," Miller said. Susan McGuirk echoed Millers remarks about the market on the Island. "Our wages here compared to the rest of Canada are not the same at all," McGuirk said. "Even if the prices of houses are lower, you can't even make the money for a down payment." A further sign that highlights how strong the market is on P.E.I. is the number of real estate agents. There are currently around 500 working in the province — about twice as many as there were five years ago.

Orla Mining Provides Initial Update on Pit Wall Event at Camino Rojo
VANCOUVER, BC, July 24, 2025 /CNW/ - Orla Mining Ltd. (TSX: OLA) (NYSE: ORLA) ("Orla" or the "Company") is providing an update on the recent pit wall event that occurred at its Camino Rojo Oxide Mine in Zacatecas, Mexico. Pit Wall Event and Immediate Response As reported on July 23, 2025, Camino Rojo experienced an uncontrolled material movement on the temporary north wall within the open pit. There were no injuries, nor was there any damage to equipment or the environment as a result of the event. Ramp access to the pit remains unaffected but open pit mining operations were temporarily suspended while the Company conducts the necessary geotechnical assessments to ensure safe remediation and the eventual resumption of mining activities. These assessments are being conducted by both the Company's internal team and third-party consultants. Completion of the initial geotechnical assessments is anticipated in the coming week, with the remediation plan to be outlined thereafter. Material Volume and Recovery Outlook Initial estimates indicate that approximately 390,000 tonnes of material moved from the north wall into the pit. It is expected that this material would be crushed and stacked on the heap leach pad in the medium term. Ongoing Operations and Stockpile Management Until in-pit mining operations resume, the Company will continue crushing and stacking run-of-mine ore and stockpile material on the heap leach pad. This strategy is expected to mitigate short-term impact on production. The crushing circuit, stacking, and process plant continue to operate. The current stockpile is estimated at 2,243,000 tonnes with an average gold grade of 0.32 g/t. As a reminder, the Company's mining throughput capacity is approximately 50,000 to 60,000 tonnes per day, while its crushing throughput capacity is approximately 18,000 to 19,000 tonnes per day. As the Company completes the necessary geotechnical assessments and refines the timeline for safe restart of mining operations, it will provide any updates to full-year production and cost guidance. About Orla Mining Ltd. Orla's corporate strategy is to acquire, develop, and operate mineral properties where the Company's expertise can substantially increase stakeholder value. The Company has three material projects, consisting of two operating mines and one development project, all 100% owned by the Company: (1) Camino Rojo, in Zacatecas State, Mexico, an operating gold and silver open-pit and heap leach mine. The property covers over 139,000 hectares which contains a large oxide and sulphide mineral resource, (2) Musselwhite Mine, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada, an underground gold mine that has been in operation for over 25 years and produced over 6 million ounces of gold, with a long history of resource growth and conversion, and (3) South Railroad, in Nevada, United States, a feasibility-stage, open pit, heap leach gold project located on the Carlin trend in Nevada. The technical reports for the Company's material projects are available on Orla's website at and on SEDAR+ and EDGAR under the Company's profile at and respectively.
