The higher-resolution data now delineates up to five discrete high-conductivity centers within the broader anomaly, which are planned for testing during the 2026 drill season.New Footwall MT Anomaly - One of the five conductive centers occurs at the northern end of Leviathan's Footwall Zone. HER-25-17 intersected the top of this Footwall MT Anomaly, where it terminated in increasing grades away from the lower porphyry contact, ending in 0.62% Cu from 895 m to 907 m (EOH). Nearby holes, including HER-23-08 and HER-24-12, also ended in increasing grades at depth. The Footwall Anomaly may represent a deep-seated early porphyry center that has not yet been tested by drilling.A 2026 drill contract has been signed with Dorado Drilling USA and plans are underway to re-commence drilling once final assays have been received for the 2025 drilling season and an updated 3D geological model has been completed.The Company is in discussions with a specialized Vancouver-based consulting firm and plans to initiate an order-of-magnitude study to assess any additional drilling requirements or dataset gaps, ahead of commencing an initial maiden resource estimate for both the near-surface silver mineralization and the Leviathan copper porphyry system.Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2026) - Hercules Metals Corp. (TSXV: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) (FS...
