[{"type":"text","content":" St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador--(Newsfile Corp. - May 21, 2025) - Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) (\"Anteros\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report results from recent assessment work at its 100% owned Strickland VMS Property (\"Strickland\" or the \"Property\") in southwestern Newfoundland. The work focused on the digitization and interpretation of multi-element geochemical data from historic trenching, advancing drill targeting efforts on this underexplored polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide (\"VMS\") system. Prior to its public listing, Anteros commissioned the compilation, digitization, and 3D geological modelling of the Strickland VMS system in 2023 and 2024. This foundational work established a strong understanding of Property's geology, alteration, and structure, and enhanced the understanding of multiple mineralized zones along a 1.4 kilometre trend (Figure 1). Since going public, Anteros has advanced the project through targeted follow-up, focusing on geochemical vectoring and priority zone refinement. The 2025 program confirmed compelling indicators of feeder-style alteration and mineralization in underexplored zones and highlighted several new high-priority exploration targets. Mineralization Highlights: Feeder-style alteration and mineralization confirmed: Compilation of 95 multi-element assays from 2012 trenching, integrated with historical drill data in 3D models, is helping to vector toward the potential VMS core and optimize future drill targeting. Copper Zone: Now a high-priority target, with historical trench sampling returning up to 3.7% Cu and 3.25 g/t Au over 1 metre (Cu-C1, Table 1), alongside elevated cobalt and intense alteration - features consistent with VMS feeder conduits. Gold Zone: Historical trenching returned 1-metre intervals up to 3.2% Cu and 1.32 g/t Au (Au-C1, Table 1), with alteration and elemental ratios indicating proximity to a hydrothermal center. This zone has never been drill-tested. Main Zone and Main Extension: Historical trench samples demonstrate elevated Pb-Zn-Ag over extended strike lengths, consistent with stratiform VMS-style mineralization.
