Recent Company History

Over the last few months, Supreme Critical Metals advanced multiple exploration and corporate initiatives. A September 18, 2025 financing raised $1,086,182 to fund exploration. Subsequent October news focused on the Silver Vista silver-copper property, including site visits and strong 2021 drill highlights, which saw positive price reactions up to 12.79%. An October acquisition-focus release and a November US$250,000 Nevada option further expanded the portfolio. Today’s till sampling program continues that systematic work toward 2026 drilling.

Analysis

This announcement details a focused till sampling program at Silver Vista, targeting about 50 samples over an eight-day field campaign to refine drill targets for the 2026 season. It follows recent site visits, drill result highlights, and project-focused updates in late 2025. Investors may watch how the new data integrates with existing geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets and whether it supports prioritizing higher-confidence drill targets.

Key Terms

6 terms

till sampling technical

"engaged SLR Consulting ... to execute a till sampling program at the Company's"

Till sampling is the practice of checking a small, representative set of cash registers or point‑of‑sale transaction records to verify that sales, cash handling and receipts are being recorded accurately. Like checking a few pockets in a laundry basket to estimate whether anything is missing, it helps uncover counting errors, theft, counterfeit notes or system problems that can distort reported revenue and margins. For investors, reliable till sampling supports confidence in a retailer’s sales figures and operational controls.

geophysical technical

"compilation of surface geological and geophysical datasets, integration of"

Geophysical describes surveys and measurements that map the physical properties of the Earth—such as seismic waves, gravity, magnetism and electrical signals—to reveal what lies beneath the surface without digging. For investors, geophysical work is like using a radar or an X‑ray for the ground: it reduces the guesswork, helps estimate the size and location of mineral, oil or gas deposits, and can materially change project costs, timelines and the perceived value or risk of an exploration opportunity.

lidar technical

"interpretation of lidar and UAV imagery, and finalization of sample station"

Lidar, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a technology that uses laser beams to create detailed, three-dimensional maps of the environment. It works like a sophisticated eye that measures distances by bouncing light off objects, helping machines see and understand their surroundings. For investors, lidar is important because it enables advancements in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and mapping, which can drive innovation and growth in related industries.

uav technical

"interpretation of lidar and UAV imagery, and finalization of sample station"

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an aircraft that flies without a pilot on board, controlled remotely or by onboard software like a self-driving car. Investors care because UAVs are used across industries—delivery, agriculture, inspection, mapping, and defense—so demand, regulation, or technological advances can quickly affect revenue and costs for companies that make, operate, or rely on them. Think of a UAV as a robotic helper in the sky whose growing use can change market opportunities and risks.

qa/qc technical

"material processed in accordance with industry-standard QA/QC protocols."

QA/QC stands for Quality Assurance and Quality Control, processes used to ensure products or services meet certain standards. Think of it as a way to check that a product is safe and works properly before reaching consumers, similar to how a chef tastes food before serving it. For investors, strong QA/QC practices indicate a company's commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality offerings, reducing risks and building trust.

geochemical technical

"integrated with existing geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets to"

Geochemical describes the chemical makeup and movement of elements in rocks, soils, water and sediments, and the tests used to measure those chemicals. For investors, geochemical data is like a metal detector for underground clues: it helps exploration teams pinpoint likely mineralization, estimate how rich and extensive a deposit might be, and reduce drilling risk, which directly affects a mining project's value and investment risk.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 4, 2025) - Supreme Critical Metals Inc., (CSE: CRIT) (FSE: VR6) (OTC Pink: VRCFF) ("Supreme" or the "Company") announces that it has engaged SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. ("SLR") to execute a till sampling program at the Company's road-accessible Silver Vista Silver-Copper Property near Smithers, British Columbia.

The till sampling program will commence in the coming days and is designed to evaluate potential extensions of previously defined silver and copper targets and to support drill planning for the 2026 field season. It is expected to run for approximately two weeks and comprise about 50 samples. The initial stage will focus on mobilization and detailed program design, including compilation of surface geological and geophysical datasets, integration of historical sampling information, interpretation of lidar and UAV imagery, and finalization of sample station locations, logistics, and a comprehensive Health & Safety Plan. An eight-day field program will obtain till samples from priority target areas, with all material processed in accordance with industry-standard QA/QC protocols. Site access will primarily utilize existing roads, with localized plowing as required to maintain safe and efficient operations.

"This till sampling program is an important step in systematically advancing Silver Vista toward drill-ready status," stated Glen R. Watson, President and CEO of Supreme Critical Metals. "The timing of our ramping up of work at Silver Vista is opportune as it coincides with a significant uptick in the value of silver and copper and the increased attention on those precious and critical metals."

The data generated from the till sampling program will be integrated with existing geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets to refine structural interpretations and support the definition of priority drill targets across the broader Silver Vista land package.
