Widespread silver in cover rock - Recent strength in silver prices has renewed interest in the potential to view Leviathan as a larger-scale open-pit target, encompassing the deeper porphyry mineralization together with widespread low-grade silver in the near-surface cover rock.Additional catalysts ahead - Assay results are now pending for an additional seven (7) completed holes now in the lab, with additional sample shipments ongoing, and drilling continuing. Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 22, 2025) - Hercules Metals Corp. (TSXV: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) (FSE: C0X) (\"Hercules\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report further results from its 2025 drilling campaign at the Company's flagship Leviathan porphyry copper discovery, located on its Hercules Property in western Idaho (the \"Property\"). Results are now demonstrating continuity in the Hanging Wall Zone, with HER-25-05 (\"25-05\") returning 273 m of 0.60% Cu, 77 ppm Mo, and 1.8 g/t Ag, within a broader interval of 379 m of 0.50% Cu, 75 ppm Mo, and 1.5 g/t silver, beginni...
