Generation Mining (GENMF) completed its 2026 regional field exploration program and reported preliminary copper soil results from its Marathon property. Soil sampling covered 1,786 stations across approximately 10 km at Four Dams, Lacobeer, Skipper and Boyer. Results have been received for 909 samples, approximately 51% of the total; remaining soil and prospecting results are pending.
Preliminary Four Dams and Lacobeer results included 12 samples above 300 parts per million (ppm) copper, including eight above 500 ppm, with a maximum of 3,280 ppm. Soil copper values are not necessarily indicative of underlying bedrock concentrations. Geological reinterpretation with Big Rock Exploration provided a framework for evaluating Layered Series copper potential. Historical core relogging and sampling is planned for Q1 2027, predominantly around Sally. Follow-up exploration depends on positive results.
