[{"type":"text","content":"Hayasa Metals Announces 39m @ 0.50% Cu from Late Season Drill Hole at Urasar; Prospects UpdateVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 2, 2026) - Hayasa Metals Inc. (TSXV: HAY) (OTCQB: HAYAF) (\"Hayasa\" or the \"Company\") has received the final drill hole results from last season's exploration program and is pleased to announce 39m of 0.50% Cu and 0.19 g/t Au from 11m to 50m, and 52m of 0.11% Cu from 163m to 215m depth, from hole UDD-021. This hole was drilled due south at an inclination of -60° at Oxide Basin at the western end of the Urasar exploration permit, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 below.As announced in the Company's news release on November 12, 2025, a proposed late-season, 500-meter diamond drill hole (UDD-021) was collared in November in the Oxide Basin area, targeting a low resistivity AMT anomaly. Drilling encountered complications at 235m due to intensely broken ground, and with the imminent onset of significant winter snowfall, led to the abandonment of hole UDD-021 before reaching its target depth. The target anomaly is projected to occur at a depth of approximately 250m to 400m, shown in Figure 2.Based on the encouraging copper geochemical results, and the need to flesh out the Audio Magneto Telluric (AMT) survey before additional drilling, an expanded AMT survey has been scheduled for April. The previous 3-line survey carried out in August last year, was a trial survey, which indicated that low resistivity/high conductivity responses may correlate with mineralized zones, shown in Figures 1 and 2. Subject to favorable spring snowmelt and road conditions, up to two additional drill holes are planned for Q2 2026 within the priority 1 zone shown in Figures 1 and 3 below.Figure 1.
