Torr Metals Drills Toward Porphyry System's Source Intrusion

Edmonton, Alberta, (Newsfile Corp. - September 23, 2026) - Torr Metals Inc. (TSXV: TMET), a company focused on unlocking new copper and gold discovery potential within proven, highly accessible mining districts across Canada, has announced the completion of Phase II drilling at the Bertha North target within the 332 km² Kolos Copper-Gold Project. The latest drilling is progressively defining Bertha North as a large copper (Cu) - gold (Au) porphyry-style hydrothermal system, with drilling confirming copper-bearing breccias, mineralized structures, and importantly, a pyrite-chalcopyrite-bearing intrusive phase in Hole 26-KO-04 (Figure 1, Figure 2).

Phase II drilling is confirming the scale of the mineralized hydrothermal system at Bertha North and providing increasingly proximal vectors toward its interpreted centre. Initial drilling identified broad pyritic and copper-bearing hydrothermal corridors, while subsequent holes have provided vectors toward the southern part of the target where structural, geological, and geophysical features increasingly converge. Key observations guiding ongoing drilling include the identification of copper-bearing hydrothermal conduits, which have intersected broad zones of strong to intense hydrothermal alteration, brecciation, hematization, and veining containing pyrite and magnetite, with local chalcopyrite and chalcocite where mineralization is apparent. The intensity of alteration and associated fracturing has resulted in difficult ground conditions and contributed to slower-than-anticipated drilling progress, but the scale and intensity of alteration indicate substantial hydrothermal fluid flow through the system, with these altered zones defining north- and northeast-trending structural corridors interpreted as important pathways for copper-bearing fluids.

Hole 26-KO-04, the closest drilling to date to the interpreted upper margin of the deeper southern resistivity anomaly, intersected a discrete magnetite-bearing intrusive dyke with disseminated pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization at approximately 460.5 m within a broader 40.6 m brecciated and mineralized interval from 429.2 to 469.8 m. The occurrence of sulphide-bearing intrusive material within the mineralized hydrothermal corridor provides an important vector for follow-up drilling. Multiple vectors converge to the south, including the interpreted intersection of major northeast- and north-trending structures within the southern magnetic-resistive domain, coinciding with strong surface copper geochemistry. Planned holes KP_7 and KP_8 will test farther south across the deep-reaching resistivity anomaly and the convergence of major structural and geophysical features, which is interpreted as a favourable zone for enhanced dilation and intrusive emplacement, where intersecting structures may have provided pathways for larger intrusive phases and focused mineralizing fluids.

The fully funded drill program of up to 6,000 metres has now reached approximately 3,500 metres. Laboratory assays are pending and expected in the near term, with initial results anticipated in the coming weeks.
