VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / October 23, 2025 / Supreme Critical Metals Inc. (CSE:CRIT)(FWB:VR6)(OTC PINK:VRCFF) (" Supreme " or the " Company ") reports that its geological team has completed a site visit and field assessment of the Silver Vista Silver-Copper Property (the "Property" ), located in the Omineca Mining Division, approximately 55 kilometres northeast of Smithers, British Columbia.

Prior to this site visit, the Company obtained a Light Detection and Ranging ( "LIDAR" ) survey of the property and engaged SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. ( "SLR" ) of Vancouver to conduct a surficial geology mapping survey. Preliminary maps and interpretations from SLR were available for the geologists, to aid in the assessment and prioritization of the multiple soil geochemical surveys on the Property. All of the 2021 drill site locations (nine drill holes) were located and inspected, and test pits were completed and till samples taken in high priority soil geochemical targets.

Other activities included meetings with consultants engaged to prepare and file a Notice of Work ( "NoW" ) and Reclamation Program for an exploration program comprising diamond drilling, trenching, test pitting, and overburden (till) drilling. The Company also held preliminary meetings with Smithers-based diamond-drilling contractors active in the region and collaborating with the Lake Babine Nation. In addition, the team completed an introductory visit to the Lake Babine Nation offices in Burns Lake.

"The team's site visit to the Silver Vista silver-copper property was successful in confirming additional high priority soil geochemical targets, in addition to the "MR zone" mineralization indicated by diamond drilling," said interim President and Chief Executive Officer George Tsafalas. "Multiple targets have been selected, with permitting of the exploration program continuing. Silver have set record prices and the combination with copper, designates both metals as critical metals in the USA, representing a compelling opportunity. The deposit model sought at the Silver Vista property is near-surface, bulk-tonnage, open-pit, stratabound, silver-copper mineralization, which can be readily tested with shallow drilling."

About the Silver Vista Property

The Silver Vista Property covers 4,839 hectares and is readily accessible via a network of logging roads west of the Nilkitkwa Forest Service Road, which parallels Lake Babine. As previously reported ( press release, Aug. 21, 2025 ), surface sampling and diamond drilling have outlined multiple, stacked horizons of silver-copper (±zinc) mineralization within stratiform sedimentary sequences-features consistent with a stratabound copper-silver deposit model. On a worldwide basis, stratabound copper-silver deposits contain approximately 23% of all known copper resources and represent the second-most important global source of the metal after porphyry copper deposits ¹ . These deposits may also host significant by-product values in silver, cobalt, and zinc. A 2021 drill program (see references below) ² (1,507 metres in nine holes) returned the best intercepts to date, highlighted by hole SV21-07: 46 metres from 106 metres averaging 48 g/t Ag and 0.62% Cu, including 17 metres averaging 94 g/t Ag and 1.34% Cu; peak grades within this interval reached 431 g/t Ag (121-122 m) and 2.57% Cu (112-113 m) ³ . The Property is located in the Omineca Mining Division of British Columbia, within the traditional territory of the Lake Babine Nation. The property lies approximately 23 kilometres west-southwest of American Eagle Gold Corp.'s high-profile NAK project and about 30 kilometres west of Amarc Resources Ltd.'s Duke copper-gold porphyry deposit. It features gentle topography and enjoys year-round road access via established forestry infrastructure.
