(TSXV: MTT) (\"Magna Terra\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has received analytical results from a regional stream sediment geochemical survey over the 100% owned Humber Copper-Cobalt Project (the \"Humber Project\" or the \"Project\") located in western Newfoundland. The stream sediment samples were collected to further assess regional prospectivity for Sediment-hosted Stratiform Copper (\"SSC\") mineralization and complement the recently completed airborne geophysical survey covering the property (see news release dated September 18, 2025) (Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4).A total of 189 stream sediment samples were collected systematically across Blocks 1 and 2, representing 68% of the 49,925-hectare Project area, from streams that were accessible by roads or short (< 1 km) traverse. The stream sediment samples were analysed at Eastern Analytical Ltd. in Springdale, NL for gold and multi-element ICP analysis. The results highlight key areas with multi-element anomalies (Cu, Co, Zn, and Pb) that are spatially coincident with electro-magnetic conductors from the recently completed airborne VTEM survey.Of the 189 samples collected over the property, cobalt values range between 4 and 409 ppm Co with 10 of 189 (5.3%) assaying over 94.6 ppm; copper values range between 5 and 70 ppm Cu with 9 of 189 (4.8%) assaying over 30 ppm; lead values range between 9 and 81 ppm Pb with 9 of 189 (4.8%) assaying over 39 ppm; zinc values range between 33 and 617 ppm Zn with 9 of 189 (4.8%) assaying over 220 ppm, and gold values range between <5 and 17 ppb Au with 15 of 189 (7.9%) over the 5 ppb detection limit (Figures 2, 3, and 4). Elevated values for Cu, Co, Pb, and Zn occur in clusters, particularly in the northwestern quadrant of Block 1 where, anomalous stream sediment samples are spatially coincident with conductive shale/slate sequences and also with the anomalous Co lake sediment sample sites, which were the initial basis for acquiring the Humber Project. These shale/slate units are ideal hosts to SSC mineralization. An analysis of the stream sediment data and related drainage catchments generated targets with a cumulative area of 5,588-hecta...
