(TSXV: MMA) (OTC Pink: MDNGF) (\"Midnight Sun\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of the expansion drilling program at the Kazhiba-Main oxide copper target on the Company's Solwezi Project in Zambia. Initial reverse circulation (\"RC\") drilling at Kazhiba-Main took place in November 2024 and yielded strong results; however, to date, only ~40% of the geochemical anomaly has been tested (See the Company's News Release dated January 29, 2025). The Company plans to complete an NI43-101 compliant maiden resource estimate for Kazhiba-Main upon completion of the drill program.Highlights of the 2024 RC drilling program at Kazhiba Main included the following:10.69% copper over 21.0 metres from drill hole MSZ22-0285.60% copper over 26.0 metres from drill hole MSZ22-0203.01% copper over 15.0 metres from drill hole MSZ22-0124.66% copper over 7.0 metres from drill hole MSZ22-030Midnight Sun's President & CEO, Al Fabbro, states: \"We are now well underway with RC drilling at Kazhiba-Main, working to establish the extents of mineralization. Our 2024 work confirmed the presence of a substantial high-grade, near-surface oxide copper blanket, and identified multiple new targets for significant expansion potential. After reviewing the initial drill results, we are confident that immense opportunity for growth exists, having tested only about 40% of the target area. The exceptional high-grade nature of this mineralization is clear, and we are now moving swiftly to expand the mineralized zone and deliver a maiden resource. These key steps, under our Cooperative Exploration Plan with First Quantum, have the potential to unlock significant near-term cash flow and strategic optionality for our shareholders.\"Additionally, Midnight Sun recently completed a follow-up Partial Ionic Leach (PIL) geochemical sampling program over three new target areas which were identified after reviewing historical soil geochemistry data. This new PIL sampling program totals 585 samples in the Kazhiba-East area. The current interpretation is that the Kazhiba-East areas are analogs to...
