The exploration program returned significant high-grade results, including samples up to 6.68% Cu Eq, 7.38% Cu, and 426 g/t Ag. The company also highlighted an upcoming updated mineral resource estimate for La Plata, incorporating recent drilling and expanded precious metal analyses. Reasoning: Metallic Minerals reported positive high-grade surface rock sample results from its La Plata project, which have identified new priority targets and advanced existing ones to drill-ready status, indicating strong exploration potential. The disclosure of QA/QC and metal equivalent assumptions adds to the credibility of the results. - Positive factor: High-grade surface rock samples, including exceptional copper and silver grades, indicate strong mineralization. - Positive factor: Identification of four new priority target areas expands the project's exploration potential. - Positive factor: Advancement of three existing targets \(Copper Hill, Morning Star, Evening Star\) to drill-ready status de-risks future exploration. - Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC procedures are disclosed, enhancing confidence in the assay results. - Positive factor: Assumptions for the metal equivalent calculations are clearly stated, providing transparency. - Negative factor: Results are from surface rock samples, which are indicative but less definitive than drill intercepts. - Negative factor: No true width information is applicable or provided for surface samples. Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Evidence · text > Quality Assurance / Quality Control The 2024 samples were prepared and analyzed by Bureau Veritas' \(BV\) Sparks, Nevada, USA facility. All samples were prepared using BV code PRP70-250 producing a 250 g pulp for subsequent analysis. All samples were analyzed using the MA-250 method with a 0.25-gram sample size, four-acid digestion with an ICP-MS analysis. Over-limit Cu and Ag samples were analyzed using the MA-401 method with a 1.0-gram sample size, four-acid digestion with atomic absorption spectrometry analysis.

La Plata Exploration Program Highlights District-scale rock sampling and mapping, assisted by geologists seconded from Newmont Corporation \("Newmont"\), has helped prioritize existing targets and identified four new target areas \(Lower Boren, Middle Bedrock, New Star and T29 Ext.\) displaying significant Cu, Ag, Au and PGEs including numerous Cu Eq grades over 1.5% Cu \(see Table 1\). The drill-ready Evening Star target returned some of the highest-grade surface rock samples which included 6.68% Cu Eq \(7.38% Cu and 3.0 g/t Ag\), and 6.53% Cu Eq \(7.22% Cu and 3.0 g/t Ag\). The Copper Age North target close to the current Allard resource, returned 5.94% Cu Eq \(6.2% Cu, 36.0 g/t Ag and 0.24 g/t combined Au+PGEs \(0.14 g/t Au, 0.03 g/t Pt, 0.06 g/t Pd\). The top 30 samples from the program averaged 1.68% Cu Eq, with 12 samples exceeding 1% Cu Eq. Gold averaged 0.51 g/t with 7 samples above 1.0 g/t Au; Ag averaged 25.7 g/t, with grades reaching up to 426 g/t Ag; and the combined Pt and Pd results averaged 0.037 g/t with the highest value returning 0.30 g/t Pt+Pd. Additional work included mineralogical test work conducted by researchers at Cardiff University, results from the USGS' high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the La Plata District, and the Company's first community open house events. Scott Petsel, President of Metallic Minerals, commented, "We are encouraged by the continued significant progress on the La Plata project to date having completed extensive district-scale exploration and target prioritization work in collaboration with Newmont's technical team. The program resulted in the advancement to a priority drill-ready status at three untested targets with over 25 additional target areas identified for additional work within the 25 square kilometer porphyry system footprint." "Continuing in 2025, we anticipate the announcement of an updated mineral resource estimate for La Plata incorporating the most recent drilling funded by Newmont. This resource update will also integrate expanded precious metal analyses, including the first inclusion of Pt-Pd + Au, in addition to Cu and Ag, in the mineral resource estimate. Planned exploration programs in the second half of 2025 for both La Plata and our Keno Silver project are expected to be announced shortly."

La Plata Rock Sample Locations and Highlights See Footnote 2 for Figure 1 notes. Follow Up Exploration Program Highlights at the La Plata Project The target definition program, supported by geologists seconded from Newmont with expertise in alkalic porphyry systems similar to La Plata, focused on advancing and prioritizing mineralized targets for future drill testing through detailed mapping and surface sampling. The program included a total of 329 rock samples, 474 soil samples and detailed mapping of lithology, mineralogy, alteration, veining and structure. The work was completed within and around the 25 square kilometer footprint of the district-scale alkaline copper porphyry system, which hosts a range of deposit styles that include potentially bulk-minable porphyries, skarns and high-grade epithermal structures, breccias and replacements. Assays were received from the first 100 rock samples with encouraging results. The remaining rock and soil samples are currently pending. In addition to the existing Inferred Mineral Resource at Allard, which is open both at depth and along trend, three advanced targets have been refined and are now ready for drilling. Copper Hill, Morning Star and Evening Star all show very strong surface geochemical signatures in porphyry host rocks \(See Table 1\). The rock sample results, combined with soil and geophysical anomalies and trace immobile elements suggest high potential for discovery of new porphyry related deposits at these targets and several other zones of interest that remain untested.

The Mineral Resource has been estimated by Allan Armitage, Ph.D., P.Geo of SGS Geological Services who is an independent Qualified Person. In addition to the company website, the Technical Report is available under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com ; 2\) Cu Eq for rock samples assume recoveries of 90% for Cu, 80% for Au and Ag, and 70% for Pt and Pd and are presented for comparative purposes using conservative long-term metal prices \(all USD\): $4.00/lb Cu, $26.00/Oz Ag, $2,300/Oz Au, $1,000/Oz Pt, $1,250/Oz Pd. Cu Eq is determined as follows: Cu Eq% = \[Cu%\] + \[Ag g/t / 31.103 x Ag price / Cu price / 2,204 x 100\] + \[Au g/t / 31.103 x Au price / Cu price / 2,204 x 100\] + \[Pt g/t / 31.103 x Pt price / Cu price / 2,204 x 100\] + \[Pd g/t / 31.103 x Pd price / Cu price / 2,204 x 100\].

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
