Torr Metals Mobilizes Crews to Filion Gold Project, Testing Major Expansion Potential Along Trans-Canada Highway 11

Torr's approach to the Filion Gold Project reflects a corporate strategic focus on low-cost district-scale opportunities that exhibit a high degree of prospectivity for hosting significant untested mineralizing systems that have major discovery potential. Following careful due diligence, the Project was acquired with 100% ownership through staking. Exploration commenced in late 2023, with the first-ever soil sampling program in the area targeting geophysical trends of historically documented gold occurrences in its western section. The results, announced in early 2024, delineated six substantial gold anomalies, never drill tested and adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway, with strike lengths of up to 1,200 meters (m) and gold grades as high as 1.32 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au), spread across a corridor more than two kilometers wide (Figure 1).

The Filion Project, which is permitted for drilling, is ideally situated adjacent to excellent infrastructure that provides for year-round operation potential, including direct road access from the Trans-Canada Highway 11, a paralleling regional railway and provincial power grid, as well as the nearby town of Kapuskasing ~30 km to the southeast.

Highlights:

• Untested Historical Conductors and Gold Occurrences: Initial 2023 soil sampling covered just 25% of the historical VLF-EM geophysical conductors and only one of the historical gold occurrences, Millar East, where historical grades of up to 91.4 g/t Au over 0.3 m were reported in channel sampling¹. Torr plans a significant expansion with its initial 2024 program consisting of an 8.8 km² soil and prospecting grid targeting the remaining 75% of conductors and historical gold occurrences across a 6 km strike length (Figure 1).
• Detection of Multiple Unreported Historical Trenches using LiDAR: Using advanced LiDAR (Light Diffraction and Ranging) technology Torr has also discovered 17 unreported historical trenches as well as 18 new rock outcrops (Figure 1) within the trend of historical VLF-EM conductors. These results are highly significant in a region of thin till cover, providing targeted high-priority locations for additional sampling and mapping during the 2024 field program.
• Undrilled High-Potential Gold Anomalies: None of the delineated 2023 gold soil anomalies have been tested by drilling, yet historical drill hole 88-7 provides compelling evidence for significant subsurface alteration and mineralization despite not reporting any assays. Located over 1,300 m along strike from a key 150 m-wide soil anomaly coincident with Conductor #2 (Figure 1), the hole intersected 73.2 m of highly prospective silica-sericite-tourmaline alteration with pyrite-arsenopyrite mineralization hosted in quartz veining. This style of alteration and mineralization, together with intensification reportedly associated with a quartz-feldspar porphyry unit, aligns with characteristics seen in regional gold deposits such as in the Hemlo Mine² (Figure 2).
• Drill-Ready Gold Targets: Torr's exploration permit, acquired in July 2024, clears the way to be the first to drill these gold targets, with the potential for a major new grassroots discovery.

"We're thrilled to mobilize field crews to the Filion Gold Project, where the untapped exploration potential is vast, spanning an unexplored 42 km structural corridor known for hosting high-grade gold," said Malcolm Dorsey, president and CEO of Torr Metals. "Our 2024 program will focus on testing unexamined conductors, historical gold occurrences, and advancing the significant anomalies from 2023. Combined with new LiDAR data revealing untested outcrops and undrilled high-priority targets, this large-scale effort sets the stage for major grassroots discoveries in this highly prospective but underexplored region."

Quality Assurance and Control

Results from samples will be analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 accredited facility). A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. At ALS the "B" horizon soil samples undergo screening to 180 microns under the ALS code PREP-41. The samples are digested using Aqua Regia and analyzed via ICP-MS and ICP-AES using a 25g sample aliquot under the ALS code AuME-TL43. The Company follows industry standard procedures for the work carried out on the Filion Project. Due to the reconnaissance nature of the soil sampling the Company relied on the internal quality assurance quality control ("QA/QC") measures of ALS. Torr Metals detected no significant QA/QC issues during review of the data.

About Torr Metals

Torr Metals, based in Vancouver, BC, is committed to advancing its 100% owned, district-scale copper-gold porphyry and orogenic gold projects in highly accessible regions across Canada. Each project benefits from excellent access to provincial and regional mining infrastructure, enabling cost-effective development and year-round exploration potential. The 240 km² Kolos Copper-Gold Project, located in the prolific Quesnel Terrane, sits just 30 km southeast of Canada's largest open-pit copper mine at Highland Valley and 40 km south of Kamloops along Highway 5. The 261 km² Filion Gold Project lies in northern Ontario adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway 11, approximately 42 km northwest of Kapuskasing. Filion encompasses an unexplored greenstone belt with high-grade gold potential just 202 km by highway from the world-class Hollinger, McIntyre, and Dome mines of the Timmins mining camp.
