AuMEGA Metals Commences Diamond Drilling at Cape Ray and Announces Partial Diamond Drill Results from Bunker Hill
Key Highlights Diamond Drilling Recommences: Planned up to 10,000 metres of diamond drilling (success dependent) along with mapping, and sampling across high-priority targets at Cape Ray and Bunker Hill. Encouraging Early Drill Results at Bunker Hill West: Diamond drill hole CRD396 intersected 1.84 g/t gold over 1.0 metres including 5.58 g/t gold, 96 g/t silver, and 3.64% lead over 0.3 metres-supporting the presence of a larger mineralised system along the Branch Fault. Multiple Catalysts Ahead: Assays pending from nine diamond holes and 147 RC base-of-till holes - results expected in coming weeks. New Targets Emerging at Cape Ray: Electromagnetic (EM) survey underway targeting structural complexity and graphite-rich rocks; results expected in June to guide Cape Ray West drilling. Strong Treasury of C$13.1 Million in Cash1: Fully funded to deliver one of the largest and most systematic exploration campaigns in AuMEGA's history. Edmonton, Canada--(Newsfile Corp. - May 26, 2025) - AuMEGA Metals Ltd (ASX: AAM) (TSXV: AUM) (OTCQB: AUMMF) ("AuMEGA" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the launch of its spring field exploration program at the Cape Ray Project, alongside the receipt of partial assay results from its winter diamond drill campaign at Bunker Hill, both located along the Cape Ray Shear Zone (CRSZ) in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. With a strong cash position of C$13.1 million as at 31 March 2025, the Company is fully funded to execute one of its most ambitious exploration programs to date. This includes extensive follow-up drilling and fieldwork designed to build on recent discoveries and advance the Company's district-scale land package in what is emerging as Canada's next major gold district. AuMEGA Metal's Managing Director and CEO, Sam Pazuki, commented: "Our spring exploration program is now in full swing, and the results from these activities will further sharpen our understanding of this underexplored yet highly prospective gold district. Initial diamond drilling at Bunker Hill West, particularly hole CRD396, has delivered an encouraging intercept that underscores the potential scale and strength of the mineralised system along the Branch Fault. Combined with historical high-grade outcrops and structural data, these results point to a potentially large and generally untested gold system. "These early successes validate our strategic focus on major structural targets off the Cape Ray Shear Zone and demonstrate the value of integrating RC and diamond drilling to effectively vector into high-potential zones. These are areas never tested, and in many cases never explored. Most previous explorers focused exploration efforts on the main CRSZ and within the current mineral deposit zones at Cape Ray. "Drilling is now active testing for new discoveries along strike of those existing resources at Cape Ray, while also advancing new targets at Cape Ray West with support from airborne geophysics. We continue to plan for up to 10,000 metres of drilling however, the amount of metres drilled will be strictly based on success and weather. The Company may elect to drill more or less as the program evolves. "With a strong treasury of C$13.1 million, we are fully funded to execute one of the largest and most systematic exploration programs in our history. We have mobilised teams across multiple targets, are generating significant new data, and are positioning AuMEGA to make meaningful discoveries in what we believe is emerging as Canada's next major gold belt." Figure 1: AuMEGA Metals Bunker Hill Project To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Partial Diamond Drilling Results During the shortened winter diamond drill program, AuMEGA Metals completed 15 drill holes totaling 3,673 metres. Drilling focused on two key areas: six stratigraphic drill holes were drilled at the Nitty Gritty target, while the remaining holes tested the structural corridor extending between Nitty Gritty and Bunker Hill West (Figure 2). This includes follow-up diamond drill holes that tested encouraging Reverse Circulation (RC) drill anomalies-most notably hole CRC0284, which previously returned a significant insitu gold anomaly of six metres at 0.42 g/t on a major second order structure off the CRSZ2 (Figure 2). The Company has now received assay results from seven diamond drill holes with the remaining nine drill holes expected to be returned over the coming weeks. One of these drill holes confirmed anomalous gold mineralisation associated with the Branch Fault, a major geological structure first identified and reported by the Company in 20243 (Figure 2). A standout result came from diamond drill hole CRD396, which intersected 1.84 g/t gold over 1.0 metre, including a higher-grade interval of 5.58 g/t gold, 96 g/t silver, and 3.64% lead over 0.3 metres from 10 metres (Figure 3). This intercept lies approximately five kilometres east of the historic 18.7 g/t gold outcrop at the intersection of the Branch Fault and the CRSZ, within the Bunker Hill West target area4. This result reinforces the potential for a larger mineralized gold system along the Branch Fault and establishes a promising vector for future exploration (Figure 4). The Company plans to initiate inaugural drilling at Bunker Hill West in mid-2025, leveraging these results to refine its targeting along the Branch Fault. At the Nitty Gritty target, diamond drill hole CRD392 returned one metre at 0.33 g/t gold from 63 metres within a fault zone, confirming the presence of mineralising fluids within the system (Figure 2). Three other drill holes at Nitty Gritty did not return significant mineralisation, however, it has provided valuable structural and geological context that will inform upcoming drill plans within the broader Nitty Gritty target area.

The Company is actively reviewing received assay data and integrating it with historical datasets to refine its targeting strategy for the upcoming summer drill program, scheduled to commence in mid-2025. When drilling resumes at Bunker Hill, the initial focus will be on Bunker Hill West, a high-priority target area that hosts multiple major geological structures - including the Branch Fault - and is the site of historic high-grade gold samples, including 18.7 g/t gold from outcrop5 (Figure 4). In addition to Bunker Hill West, the Company intends to drill several new targets generated from the winter bottom-of-hole (BOH) program, as well as conduct follow-up drilling at Nitty Gritty, where further structural and lithological targets are being refined. The summer field program will also include detailed mapping and systematic rock and soil sampling across underexplored areas of high prospectivity, including the full 20 kilometres of strike the Company holds along the Branch Fault. The recently staked ground south of the CRSZ at Bunker Hill will also be assessed. Both areas of interest have received limited historical exploration6. Cape Ray Field Exploration AuMEGA has officially launched its spring and summer exploration program at the Cape Ray Project, with a dual focus on expanding the existing resource base and identifying new mineralised bodies along strike several kilometres from current deposits. Diamond drilling along strike of the existing mineral resource has commenced. The total drill program planned for Cape Ray is up to 5,000 metres of drilling. Figure 5: Cape Ray Project Exploration Program Overview To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: As part of this effort, the Company is conducting an EM geophysical survey aimed at delineating structural complexity and identifying graphitic schists-host rocks associated with current mineral resources7 (Figure 5). Results from this airborne EM survey are expected in June, and will be integrated with ongoing geological mapping and sampling efforts, particularly across the Cape Ray West area. This zone remains underexplored yet highly prospective, with the potential to host significant new mineral discoveries. In parallel, field teams have been deployed to map and sample regions where prior exploration returned promising results that were never followed up. These efforts are designed to uncover new targets and deepen the Company's understanding of the broader mineralized corridor. RC drilling is expected to commence shortly while heli-supported diamond drilling at Cape Ray West is scheduled for later in June. With a robust cash position of C$13.1 million as at 31 March 2025, AuMEGA is fully funded to execute its expansive 2025 exploration program, spanning multiple high-potential targets across its district-scale land package.

MCD Sites Outside Jurisdiction, Unidentified Locations Stall AAM Progress
New Delhi: A review of 429 sites identified for Ayushman Arogya Mandir (AAM) sub-centres under the PM-ABHIM scheme revealed significant challenges in implementation at some of the sites. Of these Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) locations, 100 fall outside MCD jurisdiction, 61 remain unidentified, with the rest distributed across various MCD departments. These issues came to light during a review meeting held on May 22, chaired by Delhi's Health and Family Welfare secretary. The meeting focused on evaluating the status of building upgrades across land-owning agencies slated for AAM development. MCD officials were directed to submit no-objection certificates (NOCs) and provisional estimates for sites under MCD (health) by May 31, 2025. The initial plan designated 910 locations across govt bodies and PSUs for AAM establishments. This included 429 MCD sites, 91 Delhi govt locations, 109 DDA sites, 39 DJB locations, 56 DOE sites, 95 DUSIB locations, 42 Gram Sabha sites, 10 NDMC locations, 7 BVK sites, and 32 from other organisations. DJB officials reported that several of their 39 allotted sites were located within water treatment facilities, rendering them unsuitable for health centres. NDMC confirmed that site inspections are ongoing, while DDA officials noted that site assessments are still underway. DDA requested detailed AAM establishment guidelines and committed to submitting feasibility reports by May 26, 2025. DUSIB representatives stated that NOCs had been provided for seven sites. However, new authorisations specifically for Ayushman Arogya Mandirs were needed, as earlier NOCs had been issued under the now-repurposed Mohalla Clinic framework. Both MCD and NDMC confirmed the absence of in-house laboratory facilities, and proposed the use of outsourced lab services through Delhi govt health infrastructure. Meanwhile, officials from MCD and NDMC received instructions to complete the construction of 33 AAM by May 29, prior to the formal inauguration set for May 31, which marks the conclusion of the govt's 100-day agenda. The distribution of these 33 centres includes 20 facilities being established in Public Works Department (PWD) structures, including one at the Delhi Secretariat. Additionally, 11 centres will operate from Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) locations, while two will be situated in New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) buildings. Health minister Pankaj Kumar Singh announced that the govt aims to establish at least 200 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs in the next two months. Each AAM will provide 12 comprehensive service packages, including maternal and child healthcare, vaccinations, mental health services, elderly care, and treatment for communicable diseases. Officials added that the goal is to set up around 15 AAMs in every assembly constituency to ensure accessible, community-based healthcare for all Delhi residents.
