[{"type":"text","content":"Hercules Metals Intersects 81 m of 1.5% Copper Within 346 m of 0.66% Copper in First 2025 Drill Hole Completed at the Leviathan Porphyry System in IdahoStrong hypogene enrichment intersected in first 220 m step-out; subsequent drilling designed to extend continuity southward, toward a significantly stronger MT anomalyStrong Start to 2025 Drill Campaign - HER-25-02, the first 2025 hole completed to target - a 220 m step-out northeast of 2024 drill hole HER-24-12 - intersected high-grade hypogene enrichment grading: 1.5% Cu and 8.9 g/t Ag over 81 m,Within a larger interval of 127 m of 1.1% Cu and 7.0 g/t Ag, All within a broad 346 m intercept of 0.66% Cu, 3.2 g/t Ag and 78 ppm Mo. Drilling Continues to Validate Model, with Hit Rate Increasing - A breakthrough 3D model of the Leviathan porphyry system was completed over the winter, leading to significantly improved drill targeting in 2025. Drillholes are now oriented northwest, perpendicular to the porphyry system, leading to more holes intersecting and growing the Leviathan porphyry system.Hypogene Enrichment Better Identified - Hole 25-02 intersected strong bornite-chalcocite hypogene enrichment associated with a potential early mineral porphyry at the centre of the system, with subsequent drilling designed to further extend continuity of the enrichment zone, within and around the early mineral porphyry centre.Geophysical Conductivity Intensifying to the South - A new magnetotelluric (\"MT\") survey recently demonstrated that copper mineralization at Leviathan carries a strong conductivity response which continuously intensifies southward for several kilometres beyond the limit of drilling, hinting at the possibility for additional porphyry centres in the Southern Flats zone.Improved Efficiency of 2025 Drill Program - 2025 drilling is progressing efficiently, with over 11,000 m drilled in thirteen (13) completed holes, five (5) in-progress holes, three (3) RC pre-collar holes, and only one (1) short, abandoned hole, (HER-25-01).Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 17, 2025) - Hercules Metals Corp. (TSXV: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) (FSE: C0X) (\"Hercules\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the results from its first completed hole of the 2025 drilling season at its flagship Leviathan porphyry copper discovery on its Hercules Property in western Idaho (the \"Pr...
