[{"type":"text","content":"Inventus Provides Year-End Review and 2026 Outlook\nTORONTO, Dec. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inventus Mining Corp. (TSXV: IVS) (“Inventus” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a year-end review and highlight its upcoming 2026 operational, technical, and strategic advancements for its 100%-owned Pardo Gold Project, located 65 km northeast of Sudbury, Ontario. Advancing Pardo Toward a Low-Cost, Near-Surface Gold Producer During 2025, Inventus achieved several major milestones that collectively strengthened the project and its development pathway: Positive Economics, Reconciliation and Metallurgy from Bulk Sampling: The Company extracted 15,000 tonnes from two separate sites in 2025. Processing of the first 4,674-tonne bulk sample (see news release Dec. 1, 2025) generated positive cash flow, achieving a 96% return over cost from gold sales. The bulk sample grade of 3.04 gpt gold reconciled within 3% of the predicted grade of 3.14 gpt gold and the overall metallurgical recovery was 94%. An additional 10,128-tonne bulk sample is currently at the mill and is scheduled for processing in January 2026. The Company intends to extract the remaining permitted 30,000 tonnes in 2026, providing a unique opportunity to continue generating bulk-scale metallurgical, grade, and cost data while producing cash flow.Rapid Low-Cost Resource Drilling Pathway: Drilling over the course of 2025 has shown that the large diameter PQ size core can be completed rapidly and cost-effectively to delineate a resource on the shallow, flat-lying gold mineralization at Pardo. The Company completed 296 holes for 3,751 metres of drilling in 2025 with results from 94 holes currently pending. Drilling will resume early in 2026, with additional results expected in January, supporting resource definition and expansion.Demonstrated Operational Readiness and Scalability: Bulk sample operations during the year demonstrated that Inventus could extract material at a rate of approximately 10,000 tonnes per month, or 120,000 tonnes per year, using its current extraction and hauling approach. These results indicate strong potential to scale operations under a commercial production scenario, with significant opportunities to reduce costs with increases in production volume. Collectively, these achievements support Inventus’ strategy of ...
