Metallic Minerals (MMNGF) reported positive surface rock sample results from its La Plata copper-silver-gold-platinum group element project in Colorado. The exploration program, assisted by Newmont Corporation geologists, identified four new target areas and confirmed high-grade samples, with the top 30 samples averaging 1.68% Cu Eq. Notable results include 6.68% Cu Eq from the Evening Star target and 5.94% Cu Eq from Copper Age North. The project's current NI 43-101 Inferred Resource stands at 1.21 billion pounds of Cu and 17.6 million ounces of Ag. The company plans to announce an updated mineral resource estimate in 2025 that will include precious metals (Pt-Pd + Au) for the first time. The exploration covered a 25 square kilometer porphyry system, resulting in three drill-ready targets and over 25 additional target areas identified for further work.

Metallic Minerals (MMNGF) has submitted an application to the TSX Venture Exchange seeking approval to extend the expiry date of 5,535,500 common share purchase warrants. These warrants, originally issued during a private placement in June 2022 with an exercise price of $0.50 per warrant, were set to expire in June 2025.

This extension request affects warrants that were originally scheduled to expire on both June 8 and June 30, 2025.

Metallic Minerals (MMNGF) has identified significant critical minerals potential at its La Plata copper-silver-gold-PGE project in Colorado. The project has shown elevated levels of light and heavy rare earth elements along with fluorine, gallium, scandium, tellurium, and vanadium. These discoveries complement the project's existing copper, platinum, palladium, silver, and gold resources. La Plata represents a rare combined critical mineral and base/precious metal system in the USA, with the USGS designating it as a Critical Minerals Resource Area. The project features a unique alkalic porphyry system that hosts one of the broadest suites of critical minerals documented. The company is advancing geochemical modeling and metallurgical testing to evaluate critical minerals recovery following copper and silver extraction. This positions La Plata as a strategic source for critical minerals essential for advanced technologies, clean energy, and defense applications in the U.S.

Metallic Minerals (MMNGF) has signed a new production royalty agreement for alluvial gold claims at its Australia Creek property in the Klondike Gold District, Yukon Territory. The agreement covers one mile of claims and marks the second agreement at Australia Creek, expanding the Company's leased ground to over two miles.

The new operator, bringing 40+ years of Yukon gold mining experience, must meet a $500,000 annual work commitment and pay a 12% royalty on all gold production. Production is anticipated to begin summer 2025, with at least two gold mining operations expected on the Company's Klondike claims for the 2025 season.

This expansion follows the Company's first gold production at Australia Creek in 2023 and 2024. Camp setup and road clearing are currently underway in preparation for exploration drilling and mine operations on the two leased blocks.

Metallic Minerals (TSX-V:MMG/OTCQB:MMNGF) has announced key achievements and 2025 catalysts across its mining projects.

At the La Plata project, funded by Newmont 's 9.5% strategic investment, the company completed 4,530 meters of drilling and advanced four new targets to drill-ready status. The current resource includes 1.21 billion pounds of copper and 17.6 million ounces of silver. An updated resource estimate, including platinum, palladium, and gold analyses, is expected in Q2-2025.

The company received royalty payments from gold production at the Australia Creek property in the Klondike district, with expanded production expected in 2025. Dr. Stephen Enders, former Newmont SVP of Worldwide Exploration, joined the Board of Directors.
