Nevada Sunrise Identifies New Target Areas with VRIFY's AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform at the Past-Producing Griffon Gold Mine Project, Nevada
Nevada Sunrise Metals (OTC:NVSGF) has enhanced its partnership with VRIFY Technology to utilize DORA, an AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform, for identifying new gold target areas at the Griffon Gold Mine Project in Nevada. The historical mine, which produced 62,661 ounces of oxide gold from 1998-1999, was prematurely closed when gold prices averaged US$278 per ounce.
The company has compiled extensive historical exploration data since 1986, including geological, geochemical, and geophysical results. Nevada Sunrise plans to conduct Soil Gas Hydrocarbon surveys and ground geophysical surveys in fall 2025, focusing initially on the unmined "Anvil Zone" southwest of the Hammer Ridge pit. The company has received positive response from the United States Forest Service regarding its Notice of Intent for surface exploration plans.
Nevada Sunrise Metals (OTC:NVSGF) ha rafforzato la collaborazione con VRIFY Technology per impiegare DORA, una piattaforma di esplorazione assistita dall’IA, al fine di individuare nuove aree bersaglio aurifere nel Griffon Gold Mine Project in Nevada. L’ex-miniera, che tra il 1998 e il 1999 ha prodotto 62.661 once di oro ossidato, era stata chiusa prematuramente quando il prezzo dell’oro si attestava in media a 278 USD/oz.
La società ha raccolto dati storici di esplorazione fin dal 1986, comprendenti risultati geologici, geochimici e geofisici. Nevada Sunrise prevede di effettuare nell’autunno 2025 sondaggi su gas del suolo e indagini geofisiche di superficie, concentrandosi inizialmente sulla non sfruttata “Anvil Zone” a sud-ovest della cava Hammer Ridge. L’azienda ha ricevuto un riscontro favorevole dal United States Forest Service riguardo alla sua Notice of Intent per i piani di esplorazione superficiale.

- Leveraging advanced AI technology (DORA) to identify new gold target areas
- Historical mine production of 62,661 ounces of oxide gold indicates proven mineralization
- Positive USFS response to exploration proposal enables fall 2025 work program
- Comprehensive historical dataset available for AI analysis dating back to 1986
- Previous operation ended in premature closure due to bankruptcy in 1999
- Exploration work timeline limited by potential inclement weather in the region
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2025) - Nevada Sunrise Metals Corporation (TSXV: NEV) (OTC Pink: NVSGF) ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has deepened its partnership with VRIFY Technology Inc. ("VRIFY") by leveraging DORA, VRIFY's AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform, to identify new target areas at the Griffon Gold Mine Project ("Griffon", or the "Project") in Nevada, USA. In February 2025, the Company entered into a mining lease to purchase Griffon from an arm's-length party (see Nevada Sunrise news release dated February 20, 2025). Gold was mined at Griffon in two open pits from 1998 to 1999 and was reported to have produced 62,661 ounces of oxide gold until its premature closure in 1999, a year when the price of gold averaged approximately US
VRIFY Target Generation at Griffon
In March 2025, the Company announced a partnership with VRIFY to implement innovative AI software at the Project. During Q2 2025, VRIFY's Geoscience AI teams worked closely with Nevada Sunrise in compiling, cleansing and expanding upon decades of available historical exploration data collected since the discovery of gold at the Project in 1986. The historical data includes surface geological, geochemical, and geophysical results, as well as a digitized drill hole database, which created a comprehensive, high-quality dataset. Using DORA, several areas within the Project were identified as having high prospectivity for additional gold mineralization (see Figure 1).

Nevada Sunrise plans to conduct Soil Gas Hydrocarbon and conventional soil surveys and perform ground geophysical surveys over the new target areas early in the fall of 2025 to validate these findings and define future drill targets for the Project. The 2025 work will initially focus on an area southwest of the Hammer Ridge pit that was identified as gold-bearing by Alta Gold Co. ("Alta") but was never mined due to Alta's untimely bankruptcy in 1999.2 Once a geochemical and geophysical signature of the unmined "Anvil Zone" is established, the Company will seek to compare those signatures to the new targets developed by the VRIFY software.
Griffon Permitting Update
In late July 2025, Nevada Sunrise submitted a Notice of Intent ("NOI") to the United States Forest Service (the "USFS") to advise the USFS of its initial surface exploration plans at Griffon. The NOI contained details of a proposed SGH soil sampling survey, an induced polarization ("IP") survey and a controlled source audio frequency magnetotellurics ("CSAMT") survey that the Company plans to carry out on the newly-identified target areas within the Project. On August 11, 2025, the USFS responded positively to the Company's exploration proposal and plans are underway to perform the aforementioned exploration work in the fall of 2025 before inclement weather begins in the region.
About VRIFY
VRIFY is redefining mineral discovery by putting the power of AI into the hands of geoscientists with mission-critical exploration software. DORA, VRIFY's AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform, empowers technical teams to leverage the industry's largest proprietary exploration dataset and mineral system-specific AI models to identify, rank, and validate high-potential targets faster, and with greater confidence. A high-growth software company trusted globally by over 170 mineral exploration and mining companies, VRIFY is shaping a new era of exploration and discovery.
By integrating Griffon's project-specific data with VRIFY's industry-leading database, DORA's proprietary algorithms have identified patterns that would be time consuming and difficult, if not impossible, to extract through manual processes alone, delivering data-backed insights and highlighting high-potential areas of mineralization.
Using DORA, Nevada Sunrise will gain direct access to the web-based software, receive comprehensive training, and be able to generate and iterate on their own predictive models, allowing for hands-on exploration targeting and validation.
